Chapter 1890 Remembrance
Mrs. Kella replied awkwardly, "Who cares about him? He's nothing to do with me."
Gareth smiled quietly. He had noticed Mrs. Kella had been distracted ever since they came here. It
meant she was concerned about Sodo.
After all, Sodo was the only family she had left.
Her son and daughter had passed away, leaving her with only a grandson. Thus, how could she not
care about him?
She only denied it out of pride.
Having understood Mrs. Kella's concern, Gareth decided to give Sodo a chance to escape if he were to
meet him during the tournament.
However, if Sodo continued to scheme against him or get in his way, Gareth would not show mercy.
Gareth readied his things to go in.
Before entering, he turned to Elisa to look at her.
By now, Elisa had kept her promise and stood by Anna's side.

Elisa smiled at Gareth when she noticed him looking at her.
"Please take care."
Gareth mouthed those words.
Elisa smiled and mouthed back. "Please be careful."
Neither spoke aloud, but each understood the other.
They had grown closer during this period, allowing them to communicate secretly without fearing
interference from others.
Gareth entered the village chief's compound.
It was usually spacious but was now crowded with people.
Gareth looked at the people gathered and estimated more than fifty people.
Still, Gareth was one hundred and eighty centimeters tall and was eye-catching even as he stood
among them.
The village chief glanced at the contestants and paused at Gareth. He seemed to be thinking about
something.

Gareth was puzzled but did not say anything.
The village chief soon looked elsewhere and announced the rules of the tournament.
There were a total of fifty-eight participants in this warriors' tournament. Gareth was the only outsider.
The tournament had three rounds. Each round would test them on different skills.
The first round was called 'Remembrance.'
The participants were required to find fifty types of herbs on the mountain, timed by an hourglass.
It was to test the participants' knowledge about their village.
Furthermore, the herbs gathered would be given to the medical center.
Then, those from the medical center would not have to go to the mountain to gather herbs for some
time.
Of course, Gareth learned all these from listening to the discussions of people near him.
The challenge was relatively easy for the locals who had made enough preparations.
However, it posed a challenge for outsiders like Gareth and a certain delinquent who wasted his time
fooling around, dreaming of getting lucky one day.

It was now a break. After his speech, the village chief left the participants to their own accord.
The participants gathered in small groups and began chatting with their friends.
Most of them asked about herbs they were unsure about.
It was similar to last-minute cramming before an exam.
At the same time, a few people, like Gareth, chose to be alone.
Gareth revised the herbs in his mind, matching mental images of the herbs with their names.
Sodo noticed Gareth did not talk to anyone and could not resist mocking him. "Others chose to remain
alone because they were confident about this test. But why isn't the outsider conferring with anyone? It
must be arrogance."
"Sodo, why do you say that? Isn't it clear that he has no friends to discuss with?"
At those words, Sodo and his delinquent friend broke out in laughter.
Their voices were so loud that those on the other side of the walls could hear them.
Elisa heard it and guessed what it was about.
Anna squinted as she looked at Elisa standing straight. She said, "Although conflicts are inevitable
daily, everyone would still be united when given a cause. Can you guess who they are laughing at?"
