Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 133
Advertisement
The three Tree Shepherds had already noticed Klein. They only glanced at him and didn't stop shouting.
They looked like humans, but they weren't tall. They held withered tree canes in their hands.
Their skin was dark green, a light green color.
The area around their eyes was black, like a giant panda.
Their hair was also dark green, and they were tied into pigtails.
They had a beard.
Their faces were like old tree bark.
Due to this, Klein quickly approached and blocked in front of the Tree Shepherds.
His voice instantly disappeared.
"Friend, is there anything you need our help with?"
The tallest Tree Shepherds came forward to ask.
What a good temper!
Klein revealed a warm smile.
"I've only heard of the legend of the Tree Shepherd in the past. Today is the first time I've seen it. Don't blame me for being excited."
"Really?"
The Tree Shepherds smiled in return.
"I see you have a lot of fruit trees with you. Are you going to the catacomb ahead?"
Klein looked at the other two Tree Shepherds, who were also polite, and continued, "I am interested in the fruit trees behind you, and I personally like fruit. I have planted Bread Fruit trees, Sweet Fruit trees and Fragrant Rice trees, but I wonder what kind of fruit trees you are leading?"
"There are a lot of species."
When the Tree Shepherd heard Klein talk about the fruit trees, all of his faces were filled with smiles.
His face, which was originally like the bark of a tree, was even more wrinkled.
It was also in a black circle. Pandas were considered cute, but the Tree Shepherd looked like he had been beaten up.
"Is that so? Can you introduce them to me?"

Klein didn't need them to introduce him. The system would still give a description.
However, in order to allow the transaction to proceed normally, it was necessary to talk nonsense with the Tree Shepherd.
"Alright."
The leading Tree Shepherd nodded.
"Follow me."
Klein followed the tree herder into the neat fruit forest.
The two other Tree Shepherds accompanied him.
He didn't know if it was because he didn't have any ulterior motives or if they weren't worried that Klein would have any ill intentions. In short, they allowed Klein to approach and enter the fruit forest.
The Tree Shepherd smiled and said, "This is a Yellow Sausage fruit."
"Come, try the taste of a large sausage."
It was actually a fruit that was similar to a banana. Its skin was thinner and had a little juice.
"This is a White Juice Fruit tree. There's no flesh inside, only fruit juice. Have a taste."
The Tree Shepherd said, "I heard that the first White Juice Fruit was mutated from a Black Juice Fruit."
The Tree Shepherd picked a fruit that was similar to a coconut.
After Klein tasted it, he realized that it had a Sprite flavor.
"This one is shorter and is called a Red Heart Fruit. It has a sweet taste with a hint of blood."
"Isn't it very special?"
He stopped along the way.
The Tree Shepherd was extremely hospitable. After introducing a fruit, he would pick one or two fruits.
If there were no fruits, he would simply describe the taste.
From the beginning to the end, he admired all of them.
Klein smiled and said, "Thank you for your explanation. It looks like we won't be having lunch at noon. Every piece of fruit is delicious."
Klein smiled and pointed at the two little fellows at his feet. Their bellies were round, and they were all stuffed!

The Tree Shepherd smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to be able to share our fruits with you."
The smile on the Tree Shepherd's face became even more radiant.
He was happier to hear that Klein approved of their fruits than to praise them.
The three of them smiled.
Klein said, "Friends, before we part ways, can I make a request that is a little too much?"
Klein licked his lips, showing that he was still unsatisfied. His eyes were still looking at the fruit forest.
"Please speak."
The three Tree Shepherds became even more smug.
Look, this was the charm of fruits!
Klein looked at the three of them who were smiling and said, "I want to buy a batch of seeds from the three of you. It would be best if you have all of them. Is that okay?"
Klein sighed.
"I hope to be able to eat these fruits every day in the future! If it's possible, I'm willing to exchange some water with you. These fruit trees seem to be lacking in water."
"Seeds? We can give them to you."
The leading Tree Shepherd said sincerely, "We can give them to you for free! There's no need for water. Every drop of water is extremely important when walking in the catacombs."
"Thank you for your generosity."
Klein was delighted when he saw that his bluff had succeeded.
He really liked simple and kind crypt creatures!
"Wait a moment, we'll go get the seeds."
The Tree Shepherd returned to the flat fruit forest.
A few minutes later, they came out again with a batch of various seeds in their hands, wrapped in layers of leaves.
Klein also provided them with 5L of water.
Although the Tree Shepherd wanted to give it away free of charge, Klein insisted on using water to trade.
As a conscientious businessman, he could offer less, but he couldn't not give anything!
He still had to have this principle..
Klein watched as the Tree Shepherds left the catacomb.
There were more than fifty seeds in the heavy leaves in his hands.
He had identified more than twenty species just now.
They were all fruit tree seeds.
Other than the few species that Klein already had, most of them were new to him.
"With so many seeds, I can taste all kinds of fruits in at least a day or two or a few days at most."
Klein was also able to expand the runic base.
He arrived at the greenhouse on the first floor.
Alu and Lulu were dancing in the greenhouse, humming unique songs. From time to time, they would come to the water tank in the greenhouse to scoop water and sprinkle it on the surface of the plants.
They used coconuts to weave a small basket.
Each time, they would scoop a little water, which was extremely inefficient. Watering a plant required them to fly back and forth more than a dozen times, but they still enjoyed it, brimming with smiles.
"Tsk, how diligent," Klein praised.

Mordheim: Servants of The Damned (A Warhammer Fantasy Fiction)
“The Great Library,” Stated the stranger with a pause. “You know of it?”“Of course I do. In the Merchant’s Quarter?”“Yes, in the Merchant’s Quarter. I have gathered that there is an… artefact of importance within its walls.” Slowly, the figure produced a rusted key from the furls of his robes and held it in a black-gloved hand. “This opens the door to its chambers. It is the grimoire of Gunnar von Krugenheim, and I believe that it would serve better in the world than locked away in a dusty room.” Behind the cursed walls of Mordheim, warbands and gangs of all stripes are embattled in constant wars for resources and power. The cursed city attracts throngs in the thousands, searching for treasures, artefacts, power, and sometimes all three. The Cult of the Hidden Brethren is no exception, and when an opportunity to extend their reach is discovered, the cultists are eager to take the opportunity. However, not all is set in stone, and soon the cultists discover that the lure of power alone may not be enough to give them the drive required to see their quest done... --- Mordheim: Servants of the Damned is a fanfiction set in the world of Warhammer Fantasy, which is not owned by me but by the company Games Workshop. I of course, lay claim to nothing in this story but the characters I have created, and the core events of the story itself. This is my first true foray into fantasy writing, let alone Warhammer Fantasy, therefore any feedback is welcome. (It should be noted as well, the cover art is merely an artwork I found online and is not mine, therefore I do not lay claim to that either.)
