บท 139: The Left Oasis

"Thank you for showing us around, Echbert," said Seraphina as they were guided inside the Left Oasis.

"It's my pleasure, my lady." Echbert fluttered his brows and shot Seraphina a shy look.

Ryu wanted to knock the dopey smile off his face but decided against it.

"What's with those stones near the water?" Seraphina asked, pointing at the stones with engraved symbols surrounding their only source of water.

"Those are spell stones to ward off those who attempt to steal the water. Since water is scarce, we distributed it around camp only one time per day. Sometimes we haven't even taken water for two days. It might be embarrassing, but we haven't taken a bath in weeks."
