That being said, the motive behind him coming to the garden was also to meet the dryads.
"I have a favour to ask of you all, can you grow a flower from this seed?"
Simon took out the ruby coloured seed he got from Melinda. It was the seed of the Six Nether Flower.
One of the Dryads took the seed from his hand, inspected it for a second or two before nodding its head. It appeared that it was possible to grow a flower with this incomplete seed, as expected of a race that is held as the caretaker of the woods.
With this taken care of, Simon no longer had to worry about eating his own words. Although at that time he said to Melinda that he would be able to grow the seed into a Six Nether Flower, he was not entirely sure.
However, with the confident nod of the dryads, he didn't have to worry about it anymore. Simon could have also gone to the Forest Spring Spirits for this task but he felt like the Dryads more suited.
