The inn owner again emphasized, "Remember not to pluck anything. Because if you will, the fish out here will come to know and they will relay this information to the guard. He will simply kill you. He is too dangerous."
"I will not," Nerio replied with a polite smile.
The herb garden was… huge. There were sea herbs growing in neat rows with lots of fish that had made home in them.
When the inn owner saw Nerio looking at them with interest, he said, "These fish are important for the herb's growth. They clean up the place like scavengers and are vital for the sustenance of herbs. These fish are found only in this region of the Jade Sea."
"Nice," Nerio murmured. He was looking for an opportunity to break away from the man in front of him. "Where is the rare herb?" he asked.
"That is a little far from here, but we are going to see it from outside and not go in that enclosure."
"Why?"
