Bab 182: Unexpected Rescue

Hearing her words, Drake's eyes sparkled a bit, but his expression did not betray. 

Everyone's rapt attention was on them while Rowan was just a bit puzzled, but also quite curious about what they were talking about.

But as Drake looked closer, he saw that it was just a plant, the flute plant, which was the local equivalent of wheat. 

He looked at Althea in puzzlement, and she put it closer to his eyes. "Not the plant, look closer! The powder!" 

"I traced a huge amount of salt here. She said, taking it away before Drake could actually see the alleged powder. "There must be a source nearby!" 

Without listening to other people's opinions, she began to go in a direction as soon as she cleared up. Along the way she pulled out random plants for testing, checking if they any had traces of salt.
