After leaving the encampment, Wei'en took Tina for a stroll, bought a few bestselling knight novels, and then found an inn in the shopping district to serve as their temporary residence on the island.
This was an inn belonging to the Bascabiru Clan from the Southern Continent. With its grass-green wall paint and surrounding flowers and trees, the inn had an air of being close to nature, which made it stand out starkly from the other shops around it.
At the entrance stood a Thousand-leaf Grass, half a man's height. The veins on its crystal-clear leaves were distinct, and a faint, shimmering light made it look like a work of art carved from jade.
'Rune Power?'
Wei'en sized up the Thousand-leaf Grass's stems and leaves. It was indeed a plant imbued with the power of a special Rune Array.
'The leaves hold Rune Patterns, the junctions between the main stem and branches are the rune nodes, and the core... hmm, it must be in the rootstock, hidden beneath the soil.'
