Chapter 190

Janet was confused as well.

What Daran had in his palm made no sense to her.

It was a cup of dirt.

“How is some dirt going to find us locate the bandits?” Westin crossed his arms with a smirk on his face. “I have got to say–this is not a very smart way to get Janet’s

attention.”

“Hey.”

Janet elbowed him, “No trash talk. Remember?”

Westin put his hands up in the air, “Sorry. Didn’t mean it.”

“That is strike one.” Janet warned him and then turned back to Daran, “What is wrong with this dirt?”

Daran didn’t seem to be affected by Westin’s sarcasm.

He raised his hand a bit higher for the others to take a clearer look and explained, “This dirt is not from this area. Take a look at your surroundings. The forest only has moist black soil and a finely textured loam. Yet the stuff that I have in my hand is different. It is sandier and rougher and if you look closely, it has a scarlet color to

it.‘

Janet felt the dirt in his hand with two fingers.

“Captain, do we know if any places have this scarlet soil?” Janet asked.

The captain scratched his head, contemplating.

One of the soldiers spoke up at this moment, “I know! There are a few acres of red land in Lord Rolf’s land. And it is not very far from here. Just a couple of miles down south!”

Janet’s eyes darkened slightly.
