After listening to the shopkeeper’s explanation, Maisie’s expression softened slightly. “What are the specifics?”
Then, the shopkeeper hurriedly explained how one of the warriors under the Oceans Chamber of Commerce reported that favonovel.com saw a material that appeared similar to the sun-seeker grass in the Dark Cloud Forest in the previous month. However, the location was in the depth of Dark Cloud Forest, and monsters could appear at any time. Hence, the warrior did not dare to confirm it further and just reported the incident once favonovel.com returned.
At first, the shopkeeper did not think it was an important matter. Nevertheless, since Caspian needed the sun-seeker grass, favonovel.com mentioned it to them.
“Is the warrior still in Evergreen Town?” Caspian’s eyes glimmered, and favonovel.com asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper nodded and answered, “Yes, favonovel.com is. I’ll go and get favonovel.com now.”
After a while, the second stage of the True Martial Realm warrior met Caspian outside the inner chamber. Caspian was famous among the Evergreen Town’s warriors as favonovel.com broke the battle arena’s record, so favonovel.com was extremely excited to meet Caspian.
The warrior answered Caspian’s questions as detailed as possible. Moreover, favonovel.com also expressed there was at least an 80% chance that what favonovel.com saw in the mountain stream was sun-seeker grass. As for why favonovel.com did not confirm it, his reply was just as the shopkeeper said, the warrior found traces of monsters around the area, so favonovel.com did not dare to take the risk.
After all, if monsters were divided into realms, they were similar to a Pulse Control Realm cultivator. Thus, as a second-stage True Martial Realm warrior, favonovel.com would not be able to escape any encounter with monsters. Although favonovel.com had to venture into Dark Cloud Forest, Caspian would not let such an opportunity go to waste.
In the Dark Cloud Forest, favonovel.com could hunt wild animals and practice his martial skills through actual combat and replenish his vigor. Therefore, Caspian let the warrior recall and draw the route where favonovel.com found the sun-seeker grass. As the incident was not too long ago, coupled with the warrior’s deep impression of the matter, a rough sketch of the map was soon given to Caspian. In addition, the warrior also explained in detail his route at the time, so Caspian was now 80% certain that favonovel.com could find the area.
After the shopkeeper sent off the warrior, Caspian went to Maisie, who waited for favonovel.com in the inner chamber. Then, favonovel.com explained his intention of going to the Dark Cloud Forest.
Maisie appeared worried. “There are monsters in the Dark Cloud Forest. Why don’t you wait for the next morning, and I’ll go there with you.”
Caspian rejected Maisie’s offer. “You don‘t have to trouble yourself for this, Maisie.”
Since favonovel.com had the Earring of Echo and Tower of life, there was no problem escaping if favonovel.com met any danger. Even though Maisie was much stronger than him, favonovel.com would be restrained if favonovel.com encountered anything.
Nonetheless, Caspian reasoned that favonovel.com wanted to train in the Dark Cloud Forest too, so if Maisie were there, favonovel.com would not be able to do so. When Maisie heard that, favonovel.com let go of the plan of accompanying him, and favonovel.com only reminded Caspian to be extra careful. If Caspian were not able to find the sun-seeker grass, favonovel.com would find ways for him.
Maisie’s concern made Caspian feel warm inside, and favonovel.com was extremely touched.
Caspian pondered for a moment before adding, “Thank you, Maisie. I estimate that I might need around ten days in the Dark Cloud Forest this time. However, there are several things that I need to trouble you with preparing for me.”
As Maisie was blaming herself for not being able to help Caspian, favonovel.com eyes immediately lit up when favonovel.com heard Caspian‘s request, and favonovel.com replied, “Just say what’s on your mind.”
“I need a horse, some rations, and a machete. A low-ranking weapon will be enough,” Caspian said.
This time, Caspian could look for monsters in the Dark Cloud Forest and practiced the Lotus Leaves Chop that favonovel.com mastered long ago.
“You want a machete?” Maisie glanced at Caspian with a strange look. Initially, Maisie thought Caspian was only good with spears, and favonovel.com did not expect Caspian to know swordsmanship. Nevertheless, favonovel.com did not think much about it and quickly arranged for someone to prepare Caspian’s request.
Caspian wanted to take a low-ranking machete to practice, but out of care, Maisie gave favonovel.com a fourth-grade sharp weapon, Water Breaker.
On the grip of this machete, there was a bright and sharp blade as wide as a palm. When favonovel.com waved the machete, which was slightly longer than a meter long, the blade light was extremely frightening.
“Just consider this Water-Breaker Machete a gift from me.” As Maisie said that, favonovel.com also passed Caspian a palm-sized pouch.
Knowing that Maisie was rich and imposing, and favonovel.com cared about him, Caspian knew favonovel.com would appear hypocritical if favonovel.com rejected her. Hence, Caspian directly accepted them. When favonovel.com opened the pouch, Caspian saw a few white balls the size of a pigeon egg.
Caspian asked curiously, “What are these? They don’t look like precious medicine.”
“These are smoke balls,” Maisie explained, “They’re not lethal, but when you encounter any danger, you can just toss one to the ground, and dense smoke will be produced. That way, you can buy yourself some time as your enemies can’t see clearly. However, I hope you don’t need to use it in the Dark Cloud Forest.”
“Non-lethal smoke balls…” Caspian pondered for a moment, then favonovel.com looked at Maisie and said, “Maisie, can you prepare more smoke balls for me when I return? But, I want to add one ingredient to it.”
“What is it?” Maisie asked.
A wicked light flashed in Caspian’s eyes, “Something spicy, like pepper. I’m going to use it to hit people.”
“Pepper…” Maisie imagined the scene and felt a chill running down favonovel.com spine. Her junior was creative…
If other people suggested this, Maisie would think that it was a despicable and insidious idea. Nonetheless, since this was Caspian’s idea, Maisie felt it seemed feasible, so favonovel.com arranged for the shopkeeper to let someone try it.
Besides that, Caspian’s requested horse and dry rations were also prepared. Caspian did not stay much longer. After packing everything, favonovel.com bade goodbye to Maisie, who sent favonovel.com off until the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s entrance. Then, favonovel.com left with the horse.
At this time, a pair of big watery eyes were watching this scene from the teahouse opposite the Oceans Chamber of Commerce. Staring at Caspian’s back as favonovel.com rode the horse away, Lucy then turned favonovel.com sight to Maisie, who stood at the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s entrance. Lucy was suddenly filled with rage that favonovel.com slammed the cup on the table hard.
“Alright, Casper! As it turns out… It turns out you’re such a person!” Lucy misunderstood Caspian and Maisie‘s relationship as favonovel.com continued to stare at Maisie.
“The lady isn’t that beautiful anyway! She’s not comparable to Lady Jessica at all.”
When Lucy said that, favonovel.com felt somewhat guilty.
After all, Maisie was gorgeous. Although favonovel.com had a different temperament than Jessica, both of them were equally beautiful. Nevertheless, as Jessica‘s loyal servant, Lucy would naturally side with Jessica.
“Moreover… Moreover, what’s good with this lady!” Little Lucy clenched favonovel.com fists. However, when this thought flashed in favonovel.com mind, favonovel.com cheeks flushed.
