A look of surprise flashed across Ge Lan's eyes, then she quickly said, "Ah! Yes!"

President Glen immediately stood up, walked quickly to the outer room, and gave his secretary a few instructions.

A short while later, the secretary carried in a wooden box.

"These are the quest items brought back by the 'Green Hat Adventure Team'."

Li Aili felt as if she had heard an extraordinary name.

However, when the branch president opened the wooden box, the entire box of frozen Water Flowers and Terra Roots successfully caught her eye.

The adventure team used her potion, so the medicinal properties of the magical plant were well preserved!

Her heart was pounding uncontrollably.

There really are amazing plants in this world!

The box contained at least a hundred Water Flowers, and even more Terra Roots.

Li Aili immediately closed the box and nodded to the Duke.

Duke Cold Jade spoke calmly, "Summon the adventurer team that has completed this mission."

Glen said, "Ah, perfect timing. They just came to inquire about the mission settlement. I'll call them up right now."

This time, Ge Lan personally went to invite people.

Li Aili couldn't help but excitedly pace back and forth in front of Arthur Cold Jade, "This is wonderful, do you know what this means?"

The Duke raised his eyebrows slightly, watching her with interest.

"Perhaps I can entrust adventurers to find all the alchemical materials!"

What have been the reasons that have restricted her from developing drugs all along?

These are materials that are limited in quantity each day!

If this problem is solved, wouldn't her alchemy skills take off?

The Duke was in a very good mood because the production of 'healing potions' was about to increase.

“We can celebrate tonight. Let’s inform Balk and the others that they are having a banquet at the castle.”

Li Aili nodded happily in agreement.

The man slowly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

The Green Hat Adventure Team followed Glenn in nervously.

Judging from the looks of it, he had clearly been instructed before coming in that he should not even glance at Li Aili.

Li Aili sat back down gracefully next to Leng Feicui.

"Your Highness, good day." The captain held his hat to his chest with one hand and bowed slightly.

"I am Hosen, the captain of the Green Hat Adventure Team."

Li Aili fell silent after seeing that the entire team consisted of men.

Your team name is really too 'auspicious'.

"Ah, can I ask you a question?" Li Aili couldn't hold back any longer.

Why did you choose this team name?

The captain stared intently at the floor, remembering the chairman's warning that the important figures in the house didn't like others looking at his wife.

"It's because of the goblins."

"Goblin minions all wear green steel helmets on their heads. We named them that out of self-deprecation."

"Our adventurer party is like a 'grunt' in a goblin gang wearing a green hat."

Li Aili was somewhat disheartened when she received the answer; nobody in this world understood her jokes.

"Where did you find these flowers and plant roots?"

"It's in the Kettle Forest."

Are there many of these plants there?

The leader of the Green Hat Squad answered honestly, "There are many. Right by the lake in the center of the forest, there are many of these little blue flowers growing, but they are guarded by many water-type magical beasts, and they love to eat these flowers."

"The tree roots grow around the large tree in the center. But the tree spirits don't like us collecting these roots, so we had a big fight with them to get them."

The Duke nodded. “I am now issuing a long-term quest: each month, you will travel to the Water Bottle Forest to collect these two plants for me.”

Li Aili added, "Harvest in moderation, without damaging the growing environment of these plants. We need sustainable development."

After leaving the Adventurers' Guild, the carriage did not return.

"Huh? Aren't we going back? Where are we going?"

The Duke answered directly, "You'll know when you get there."

Li Aili couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the 'Green Hat Squad' again.

The Duke raised an eyebrow at her.

She beckoned with her finger, and the man crossed his arms in front of him, bending down slightly to listen.

Li Aili tilted her head back and whispered something in her ear.

After listening, the Duke raised an eyebrow slightly. "Is this a slang term from your hometown? Green hat?"

Li Aili nodded, her eyes filled with nostalgia, "Yes, my hometown."

The carriage stopped at the most luxurious shopping street in the upper part of the city.

The Duke, pulling a bewildered Li Aili along, began their search from the shops on one side of the street to the other.

Followed by attendants carrying exquisitely packaged boxes that were as tall as a small mountain.

Beautiful dresses, jewelry, and all sorts of trinkets that noble ladies would love. The Duke spent lavishly, and if Li Aili glanced at them, he would simply say, "Buy."

The Duke didn't know much about the various bottles and jars women use for makeup, but that didn't stop him from telling the shopkeeper, "Give me one of each."

Li Aili: "..."

Even after walking out of the last shop at the end of the street, Li Aili was still in a daze and couldn't understand what had happened.

The carriage traveled back to Constantinople.

Li Aili was still reeling from the Duke's 'feat' of spending tens of thousands of gold coins in an hour, and she floated up the stairs.

“My dear,” the Duke said softly.

Li Aili snapped out of her daze and looked down at the man taking off his gloves at the bottom of the stairs.

"I bought the items, remember to use them."

Li Aili: "..."

Li Aili: "!!!"

Is this guy still holding a grudge about her dressing up in front of Viscount Kelan?
