Perhaps because of the breath of the gray demon, or perhaps because all the beasts and monsters in the area were attracted by the corpses of the bandits, Livia and others encountered almost no accidents when collecting the remaining alchemical materials.
When Paros and Honasan went to a cave to collect Nostrik wall grass, they came across a wolf's den. It should be the den of the wolves that were attracted to the hillside yesterday. Although the adult wolves were not there, it took some effort to deal with the remaining old wolves and female wolves.
However, when Paros wanted to kill all the wolf cubs in the cave, he was stopped by Honasan. If they killed all the wolf cubs, the wolves would come back and chase them to death. They did not want to cause any more trouble now. As for the killed female wolves and old wolves, they believed that the wolf pack would not spend so much effort to take revenge. At most, a few wolves would track them privately to take revenge.
Livia found an excuse to go to an area alone to collect an alchemical herb, where he carefully studied the Spirit Star Seal on his left palm.
It was found that when activated, the power recovery and strength of the seal were indeed enhanced, but it consumed the starlight power. When the starlight power was fully stored, it could maintain the activation state for about three to four hours. If the starlight power was needed to be replenished at night, it had to be under the starlight, that is, open to the sky for an hour.
Even though the charging speed was a little slower than the duration, Livia was still satisfied. This was just an auxiliary effect. What he valued most was the Spirit Seal, which allowed him to learn a seal that was different from the one in the wizarding world. It was a pity that the Starlight Seal could only be performed at night. No matter how he infused the seal power during the day, it was useless.
He had no choice but to memorize the seal patterns and designs on his palm and wait for another try.
At dusk, Livia and others reunited in the previous cave, handed over the alchemical herbs they had collected, and reported the surrounding situation.
Although this cave had been discovered by the gray monster before, it is still very hidden overall. Moreover, the gray monster's breath has not dissipated yet, and other monsters and beasts dare not approach it. This is actually the safest place at the moment.
Natalia stood in front of everyone as she did in the morning, with her head slightly lowered as if she was thinking about something.
Livia didn't care what she was thinking, but put the Lanogrim grass and Northtrick wall grass she had just asked for, as well as the white clover and dandelions she had accidentally collected on the road, into the wooden box she had asked for from Honasan.
After all, as a witcher, he would need these alchemical materials in the future. Moreover, these four materials existed in the game and were used to make items such as potions and bombs. As for the other materials collected, he gave them to Honasan to exchange for Ranogrim and Nostrik Wallgrass. After all, the other materials did not appear in the game and were not very important to him at the moment.
Honasan was a little confused when he asked for the Ranogrim grass, Nostrek wall grass and the wooden box, but he soon understood that as a supernatural being, Livia naturally needed alchemical materials to find someone to make potions. It happened that the amount of Ranogrim grass and Nostrek wall grass collected was quite large, so he gave some to Livia.
The others changed their bandages and re-bandaged their wounds. After a day, everyone's injuries had recovered a lot. After all, except for Dennis and Paros who were more seriously injured, the others only had ordinary flesh wounds and recovered relatively quickly.
But what they are most worried about is not the flesh wounds, but the possible inflammation of the wounds. There are no very effective anti-inflammatory and disinfectant methods in this world. After all, the bodies of extraordinary people will hardly encounter this situation. As a result, ordinary people have not been able to develop anti-inflammatory and disinfectant drugs until now. Or rather, they exist, but they are not accessible or available to wandering knights and mercenaries such as Caius and Jeffrey.
In the end, everyone could only use the folk remedy made by the old hunter using some herbs he collected today.
Um?
Livia had just put away the wooden box when Natalia suddenly came to him.
"What's the matter?"
Livia looked at Natalia who came to him with confusion. Although he could see that the other party seemed to be thinking about something, he was not sure what she wanted to talk to him about.
"Can we go outside and talk?"
Natalia frowned and looked outside the cave.
Livia agreed after a little hesitation. He guessed that it was probably about the last alchemical herb.
Watching Livia follow Natalia out of the cave, Caius was a little dazed. Although Livia had told him before that he didn't need to care about his identity as a supernatural being, he couldn't do it anyway. He could feel the estrangement between them after Livia's identity change. Maybe Livia's attitude towards him was the same as before, but he didn't realize that his identity level and life level had made Caius involuntarily in awe of him.
This was the awe that Caius, as a knight, could not control.
"What's wrong?"
Jeffrey patted Caius' shoulder to wake him up from his daze. He followed his gaze and looked at Natalia and Livia who had just left the cave entrance, with a look of sudden enlightenment.
"Oh, you don't think that Lady Livia will get along with Lady Viscount Natalia?
Ha ha."
He lowered his voice and whispered in Caius' ear with a smile.
A smell of alcohol came out of his mouth and flowed into Caius's nose.
Caius was a little surprised to feel the taste of alcohol in his mouth. What kind of alcohol did this guy drink? Wait, where did he get the alcohol?
No, I didn’t think so!
"No..." He came to his senses and was about to deny it, but Jeffrey interrupted him in a low voice.
"How is this possible? How could Natalia, who married into the Lambardia family, be with Livia? You have to know that the Lambardia family allowed her to inherit the title and the position of the current head of the Lambardia family because no one else in the family was facing a dead end. If she dared to let Livia join the Lambardia family, tut tut..." "Let's not talk about whether the nobles of the kingdom agree or not, even Natalia's original Kinlaska family will not tolerate such a thing that ruins their reputation."
At this point, Jeffrey smacked his lips with interest.
"That..." "Oh, that's not right..." Caius was about to speak when Jeffrey suddenly thought of something and interrupted him again, "They are all extraordinary people. Ordinary aristocratic rules and secular common sense may not be able to restrict them..." Jeffrey continued with his eyes shining.
"Cough cough..." Caius coughed a few times and looked at him madly.
At some point, Honasan had stood beside them, his face full of gloom.
“Hmm…
What's wrong?"
Jeffrey turned his head in confusion, following his gaze, "Uh..." Looking at Honasan, who looked unhappy, Jeffrey swallowed his saliva. He remembered...
If you are caught criticizing the nobles, there will be no good outcome.
