Kael had waited for almost two hours before the leather bottle was filled with the Sunbathed Liquid to the brim. It also meant that he had nearly finished all the Sunbathed Liquid the tree had produced.
Now, he would need to wait for at least six months before the tree would return to the same state. But he was fine with that, as he already had more than enough for now.
Just one bottle would suffice to make a lot of the Sunbathed paste he needed.
Holding the bottle in his hand, he felt as if he was holding a priceless treasure. He smiled and turned around to face the woman who had been protecting him for the past two hours.
