Go Okrim, too, rummaged through his memories of apples. The thought of sweet, crisp apples made him swallow audibly.
"Kim Haru-hyung, can we eat this apple?"
Kim Haru shook his head.
He wasn't sure if it was safe to eat.
Since the apple tree had willingly given him an apple and hadn't triggered the Farm's Blessing, did that mean this mutated plant harbored goodwill toward him?
Kim Haru thought back to Little Oakie and Little Wheatie on the farm. Tentatively, he addressed the empty space in front of him, "Can you reveal yourself?"
He didn't expect a response. The ability to turn invisible was likely this apple tree's protective mechanism, something it wouldn't easily abandon.
But just as he thought that, the air before him rippled.
A lush apple tree appeared right in front of him.
Its dense canopy was dotted with vibrant red apples, as picturesque as the images of apple orchards in harvest books.
