Well, that's explaining some things. And explosions in coal mines are somewhat common if not much pre-caution is taken.
I'm wondering if Gillean is going to make Mary plant another one of his Orange trees somewhere around Ekoba and what it's impact may be in the long term for the people there...
Thanks for another interesting part of that chapter. Even though I' liked to have a bit more details on the conversation between our heros and the members of that family. Then again there wasn't much to tell maybe. So I don't blame you. 😉
Looking forward to the final part of that chapter.

Take care and have an amazing weekend! 🌞

P.S. did you ever consider compiling the story as an (e-)book once you finished this adventure? I'm just wondering. I have a feeling there may be people out there enjoying it. People who aren't familiar with Hive or simply don't care too much for social networks and/or blockchain technology... 🤔
