After listening to the shopkeeper’s explanation, Morten’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 he 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 he returned.
At first, the shopkeeper did not think it was an important matter.
Nevertheless, since Lydia needed the sun-seeker grass, he mentioned it to them.
“Is the warrior still in Evergreen Town?” Lydia’s eyes glimmered, and he asked the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper nodded and answered, “Yes, he is.
I’ll go and get him now.”
After a while, the second stage of the True Martial Realm warrior met Lydia outside the inner chamber.
Lydia was famous among the Evergreen Town’s warriors as he broke the battle arena’s record, so he was extremely excited to meet Mandra.
The warrior answered Lydia’s questions as detailed as possible.
Moreover, he also expressed there was at least an 80% chance that what he saw in the mountain stream was sun-seeker grass.
As for why he did not confirm it, his reply was just as the shopkeeper said, the warrior found traces of monsters around the area, so he 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, he would not be able to escape any encounter with monsters.
Although he had to venture into Dark Cloud Forest, Lydia would not let such an opportunity go to waste.
In the Dark Cloud Forest, he could hunt wild animals and practice his martial skills through actual combat and replenish his vigor.
Therefore, Lydia let the warrior recall and draw the route where he 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 Mandra.
In addition, the warrior also explained in detail his route at the time, so Lydia was now 80% certain that he could find the area.
After the shopkeeper sent off the warrior, Lydia went to Morten, who waited for him in the inner chamber.
Then, he explained his intention of going to the Dark Cloud Forest.
Morten 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.”
Lydia rejected Morten’s offer.
“You don‘t have to trouble yourself for this, Morten.”
Since he had the Earring of Echo and Tower of life, there was no problem escaping if he met any danger.
Even though Morten was much stronger than him, he would be restrained if he encountered anything.
Nonetheless, Lydia reasoned that he wanted to train in the Dark Cloud Forest too, so if Morten were there, he would not be able to do so.
When Morten heard that, she let go of the plan of accompanying him, and she only reminded Lydia to be extra areful.
If Lydia were not able to find the sun-seeker grass, she would find ways for him.
Morten’s concern made Lydia feel warm inside, and he was extremely touched.
Lydia pondered for a moment before adding, “Thank you, Morten.
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 Morten was blaming herself for not being able to help Josua, her eyes immediately lit up when she heard Lydia‘s request, and she replied, “Just say what’s on your mind.”
“I need a horse, some rations, and a machete.
A low-ranking weapon will be enough,” Lydia said.
