In the living room of the wooden house, Juliet opened a linen bag that had been set aside, revealing the soil inside.
"My Lord, this is the Grey Soil you asked us to bring back."
Ronin crouched down, held the sack open, and carefully observed the Grey Soil inside.
He noticed that the soil wasn't truly grey, but a greyish-white, and was composed of small clumps.
Ronin picked up a small clump between his thumb and forefinger. It crumbled with just a little pressure. Rubbing it further, he found the Grey Soil became a fine powder with very small particles.
Ronin was no geologist, nor did he have any related expertise, but he could still tell this soil was highly unusual.
"How much of this kind of soil is there at Grey Soil Village?"
