Chapter 252

[Giant Civet: Tier 5 Civet, powerful attack, First Guard of the Luminara Hall.]

Leeanne barely had time to glance at the giant civet’s info before she was forced to whip out her Spirit Serpent Whip.

‘Wait, it’s a guard? Should I kill it or not?‘ she wondered.

But she was overthinking it. She didn’t really have a say in the matter. The moment the giant civet spotted her, it went straight for the kill, every strike meant to take her out.

Leeanne leaped backward. Snowy charged forward and engaged in a fierce melee with the civet guard.

Leeanne drew her Silver–Horned Bow, nocked an arrow, and fired a Feather Arrow.

eeanne stepped inside without a hitch.

There were just three rooms inside, and each was huge.

In the left room, she found two big tables piled high with bottles, jars, measuring cups, and cylinders.

Is Luminara some mad scientist or what? Why is there so much lab equipment here? Leeanne wondered.

She searched the drawers carefully and found a lab notebook.

[September 1st, sunny. The grapes are ripe. I washed the grapes and let them dry, then I’m going to make wine as planned.]

[September 2nd, sunny. No recipe, but I can figure it out. Vinegar 0.5 fl oz, cooking wine 0.5 fl oz, and, hmm? Should I add cumin? No, this isn’t lamb skewers.]

[September 12th, failed. Definitely, mulberries are not suitable for winemaking, but I can make apple wine.]

[October 20th, failed. Definitely, apples are not suitable for winemaking, but I can make blueberry wine.]

[November 20th, failed. Definitely, blueberries are not suitable for winemaking, but don’t worry, I can try cherry wine next year. One day, I will make a delicious fruit wine.]

Leeanne flipped through the notebook for a while and realized Luminara was totally… clueless about winemaking. She just tossed in everything imaginable, a total mess, Leeanne thought. ‘No wonder nothing drinkable ever came out of it.

‘Can’t she just learn from someone? There must be some wine–making masters in this world, right? Why doesn’t she ask someone for help?

oor thing! She’d spent most of the year messing around with fruit wine, but still couldn’t get a single batch that was actually arinkable.

At last, she found today’s entry in the experiment diary. [‘I’ve decided to buy some wine and do some more research.]

So, Mr. Bob was right. Luminar’s off to buy even more wine, Leeanne thought.

Not finding anything else in the room, Leeanne put down Luminar’s experiment diary and headed to the next room.

In the next room, she spotted a bizarre–looking object. It looked almost like a sewing machine to her.

[Luminara’s Sewing Machine. Cannot be picked up.]

‘I can’t take it? Is Luminara actually some sewing expert?‘ Leeanne wondered.

She searched for a long time but couldn’t find any hidden switches or mechanisms, so she headed to the middle room.

In the middle room, there was a solid gold treasure chest, covered in intricate carvings and secured with a golden lock.

[Luminara’s Treasure Chest: Inside is Luminara’s favorite Gold Silk Thread.]

‘So this is where it is, Leeanne thought.

She walked over, planning to stash the chest in her backpack, but it was locked in place, and she couldn’t take it.

She tried smashing it open, but the chest wouldn’t break, and there was no way to get anything out.

‘Looks like I’ll have to go hunting for that key, Leeanne thought.

She searched high and low, but there was no sign of the key anywhere. With a sigh, she headed back out.

She remembered reading in Luminara’s experimental diary that this palace was hidden, guarded by two civets. Killing one

‘So what happens if I take out the other guard?‘ Leeanne wondered. ‘Guess I have no choice but to try now. But where is the other guard?‘

Just as she was feeling frustrated, something suddenly happened.

The little civet that used to limp showed up again, but its leg was fine now. It was just hobbling out of habit.

Trailing right behind it was another giant civet.

The little civet, eyes full of tears, pointed at Leeanne and started making frantic gestures.

The giant civet let out a furious roar and charged right at her.

Leeanne was speechless again.

I’ve already treated the little civet’s leg. Why is it so sad and crying all the time?‘ she wondered.

She also checked out the giant civet’s info. [Giant Civet: Tier 5 mutant, Second Guard of the Luminara Hall.]

‘Another guard?‘ Leeanne thought, a bit surprised. ‘Alright, time to take it out. Since it’s a guard… maybe it’s got the key.

Leeanne, pumped up, shouted to Little Blue and Snowy, “Get over here, let’s take it out!”

The three of them teamed up, and after nearly half an hour of intense fighting, they finally managed to beat that stubborn Second Guard of the Luminara Hall.
