She smiled in spite of herself when she saw this white flame appear in her mind just as easily as the other one, and to tell the truth, it was almost easier to summon them here than when she was on Aurora.
And so, once connected to her white flame, she focused on the nine herbs in front of her, and she breathed the energy of her white flame into the ground near them.
Immediately the nature around her changed and she saw not only this whitish aura forming around these magic herbs, but she saw field flowers and other magic herbs appear, all with a whitish aura.
The system kept giving her notification about these new magic herbs that suddenly appeared and there were 5 level 4 magic herbs called Red Dallia, and 12 level 3 magic herbs called Wild Yuna.
It was quite a shame though that she had no idea how much these magic herbs were worth, so she could only hope that she will be able to make a little money thanks to them.
She decided to pick them all up and like the first time she was careful not to damage their roots.
Then she went to look around the other trees that were nearby but she didn't see anything interesting nor any other notification from the System, so she just picked up a big tree bark that would be perfect to carry the magic herbs and she started walking again, stopping from time to time when she discovered other magic herbs.
After two hours of walking and three more stops where she had picked more magic herbs, she could finally see the city in the distance and on the contrary from what she saw in the memories of this girl and her village, this city seemed much more developed than her village.
Although technology seemed still to be completely absent from this world, which by the way suited her perfectly because she had never liked it anyway, while walking towards the city, she wondered if it was the fact that magic could be used freely here that had slowed down the technological evolution of this world or if it had simply made it evolve in a completely different way.
In any case, she was eager to learn more about this fascinating world.
And as soon as she left the forest, a group of girls with empty wicker baskets stopped when they saw her and they widened their eyes in astonisment when they discovered that she was barefoot, not to mention her outfit in general which she had soiled while gathering the magic herbs.
She then thought of something and now that the seal her mother had made for her had been broken, she focused on the girls in front of her, and two of the five had auras around them.
But a notification then appeared again above one of the girls.
[Follow her]
Follow her… Why should she follow her and where to?
Decidedly, this System was always bringing more questions than answers.
Anyway, she still decided to ask one of the girls who had an aura around her if she could tell her the price of the magic herbs she had found, and maybe give her the name of a store where she could sell them, and she would see later how she could make sure to follow this girl the System had shown her.
But in the end, she didn't have to because the girl the System had shown her, who must have been just 15 or 16 years old and who had no aura around her, walked up to her and while looking curiously at the magic herbs that were in her piece of bark, she stammered then, "Where ... Where did you find these magic herbs?"
Cassy obviouly couldn't tell her that most of these magic herbs had appeared out of nowhere when she had used her white flame on the ground because she didn't know yet if the mages of this world used the same method as her, so she just said to her, "I found them near the river."
She wanted to introduce herself again and ask her for the information she needed, but this girl beat her to it again, telling the rest of the group, "You girls can go without me, I'll take care of her."
She then turned back to her and said with a smile that seemed sincere, "My name is Paige, I don't know what happened to you but you look like you've had a bad day, come with me, the magic herbs you found are of excellent quality and my mom runs a store that sells them, we'll help you."
Cassy who had been completely caught off guard by this girl asked her then, "Are you sure?"
But when she remembered that the System had asked her to follow her, she finally accepted without thinking anymore and she thanked her warmly.
Paige seemed to be sincere, she looked like an angel dressed in this outfit, she wore a simple dress that looked like a long summer dress from her world and was the same color as her eyes which were green and shining like two emeralds.
Her neckline showed off her generous breast despite her young age, and she also had long curly blonde hair that came down to her waist, and otherwise they were both of similar height.
The girl laughed and beckoned her to follow her, "My mother is an honest person, you'll see, and the magic herbs you found are very rare, they have almost completely disappeared from the forest, at least you were lucky to find them... What happened to you exactly?"
Cassy finally introduced herself while following her, "My name is Cassy and a bad joke went very wrong for me.
I come from the Village a little higher when you go up by river and some students in my class threw me into it, that's why I lost my shoes and I'm in this state."
