Ronin spent the next few days in the swamps.
Every night, he would find a high slope, first using a few Flame Pillar Magic spells to dry out the ground, and then taking a tent from his Space Ring to set up for the night.
With Carlos around, he didn't have to worry about magical beast attacks.
The search for wild rice was not only tedious and dull, but also dangerous.
After all, the search took place in the wetlands, where a single misstep could send one plunging into a quagmire.
Thankfully, Ronin was powerful and had Carlos by his side; otherwise, the outcome would have been uncertain.
Four days passed in a flash. Ronin went from finding nothing at all to gradually making some discoveries.
He had now marked over a dozen potential wild rice locations on the parchment in his hand.
These spots were mostly along riverbanks and in shallow waters, home to reeds, cattails, and what he suspected were wild rice seedlings.
Why "suspected"?
