It was already eight o'clock when returning to Saint Delan Square with the cat, and Mia, being back home, was in high spirits, walking around excitedly. It liked the place just as much as Shard did.
Shard didn't rest either. Instead, he took out the Arcane Technique learning materials for "Lagre's Leap," which he had obtained last week, along with a bundle of Wind Vane Bluegrass from Coldwater Port City, placing them on the study's desk. The bundle contained a total of twelve stalks.
Although Wind Vane Bluegrass is also a herbaceous plant, it looks more like a fern. The usable part for Shard's Arcane Technique accounted for only about one-fifth of the plant.
With a pair of scissors, he simply processed two of the stalks, cutting off the useful parts and using a fine needle to engrave a long string of Ancient Spell Text, which means to guide direction, onto the surface of the plant.
