Arielle and Maxieno looked at each other.
"I want to get the snowdrop," said Maxieno, making the two mountain trolls frown.
"Hmm? Your voice is a little different? Have you found a cure for your sore throat?" asked the troll.
One of the trolls stretched out his hand with its palm up. Was that a sign that it wanted to be touched?
"Hmm? Lord Darui? Aren't you Lord Darui?" asked the troll.
Arielle hurriedly took one of Darui's hands and placed it on the troll's palm.
"Hmm? A little wet, but your fur still feels soft as usual," said the troll who then shifted his body.
"I'm sorry to keep you standing for so long. We promise to keep your garden in good condition," continued the other troll. Then, Arielle and Maxieno saw a black iron gate that was already overgrown with vines.
"Are they stupid?" Maxieno muttered as he glared at the two mountain trolls in front of him.
