Naturally, what happened in the cave did not escape the perception of the two extraordinary people, Livia and Natalia. Livia was a little embarrassed by Jeffrey's words, but he quickly recovered. What he said was not true, so why should he be embarrassed.
"What's up?"
Livia stopped when she was five meters outside the cave, when the people inside should not be able to hear her, and turned to look at Natalia and asked.
In other words, they are not wizards or sorcerers, and do not have the ability or magic to block out sounds, otherwise they would not have to run outside to avoid being heard by Caius and the others.
Natalia stopped and looked up at him, with some hesitation on her face.
Seeing this, Livia waited patiently. If it wasn't something important, he wouldn't have come to him to talk about it. He could understand that important things were difficult to talk about.
Livia didn't have to wait too long. Natalia was just organizing her words and soon spoke.
"We are still missing one alchemical herb."
"I know."
Livia nodded.
"Compared to other alchemical herbs, although they are also rare, they can still be purchased. The remaining alchemical material is the rarest."
Natalia said seriously, her expression becoming serious.
Natalia's words made Livia stunned for a moment.
He didn't care about the latter sentence. Those that were not collected in the end must be the rarest. What he cared about was the former sentence. Are the other alchemical herbs rare?
In the game, celandine, lanogreen and nostrik wallweed are alchemical materials that can be found everywhere on the road, and except for buckthorn, other alchemical materials in the game can basically be purchased from alchemists and herbalists.
Wait, Livia thought about it and quickly understood that the herbs everywhere in the game were only there to make it easier for players to collect them and make magic potions and bombs. In reality, alchemical herbs are definitely not as ubiquitous as cabbages, and those that really grew on the roadside would have been picked up long ago.
Looking back, Livia found that he had not seen any alchemical herbs all the way from Kovag to the Korn Grassland, except for dandelions which were equivalent to weeds. And even the dandelions seemed to be relatively scarce, with only a few plants seen occasionally on the grassland.
Seeing the complicated expression on his face, Natalia sighed helplessly in her heart. The other party had already helped her a lot, which was equivalent to saving the lives of her group of people. She couldn't afford any reward, so it was normal that the other party would not try his best to help her anymore.
Livia came back to her senses and saw that Natalia suddenly became depressed. She thought that she might have misunderstood something and spoke hurriedly.
"Well, I was just thinking about something."
Um?
Natalia looked at him in confusion and regained her spirit.
"The last alchemical herb is called Snow Night Flower. It is an extremely rare plant that will only mature and bloom on the first night of the winter solstice. If it is not picked and preserved by special means within three hours, it will wither."
Natalia said with a serious expression.
Are there any plants like this?
This is too fantastical. It only blooms on the first night of the winter solstice and needs to be preserved with special means within three hours after blooming. Livia frowned deeply as she listened.
Natalia looked at him and continued, "The cycle of the Snow Night Flower to mature and bloom is uncertain, about three to five years. The reason why I can confirm that it will bloom this year is because I bought the information from a noble who wanted to pick it last year but found that it didn't bloom. Although the Snow Night Flower was not mature at that time, he could tell that it would mature and bloom in the second year."
There is such a cycle, it is getting more and more mysterious, but it has nothing to do with me, I don’t need this snow moon flower, Livia suddenly thought, nodded to Natalia to indicate that she understood, and then said: "In fact, you don’t need to tell me how rare and precious this snow night flower is. I will naturally help you pick it if I accept the task."
Natalia had a complicated look on her face. It was already this time, and the detailed news must be told to Livia, otherwise...
After thinking it through, Natalia said with an apologetic expression: "When the snowy night flowers bloom, they will gather cold air and turn the surrounding area into an extremely cold environment for a short period of time. Maybe...
It will attract ice giants or other cold-loving monsters. I hope you can help as much as possible when you encounter them."
When she said the last sentence, Natalia's eyes were full of determination and hope. Ice Giant?
Livia noticed a familiar name in her words, and after thinking carefully, she recalled from her memory that this seemed to be a monster that had appeared in the wizarding world, and it seemed to have a mission.
Um?
Before I could come back to my senses from the memories, another piece of information emerged in my mind.
[You have accepted a new side quest] [Side quest: Picking Snow Night Flowers] On the night of the winter solstice one year in several years, a magical plant will bloom with beautiful flowers. This moment is also the time when it matures as an alchemical material. However, the strange phenomenon produced when it blooms may attract monsters such as ice giants. Viscount Natalia Luz Kinlaska Lanbardia has commissioned you to help her successfully pick the Snow Night Flowers that will bloom tomorrow night.
Mission objective: Help Viscount Natalia to successfully pick the Snow Night Flower while ensuring her safety for a period of time.
Mission rewards: attribute points × 3, alchemy skill point × 1.
Task?
Livia didn't expect that the system would trigger the task here. Why didn't it trigger it when she accepted Natalia's bounty at the beginning?
Livia immediately understood after thinking about it. This time, he was seriously being commissioned to handle the Xue Ye Hua matter, and the previous tasks were obviously not difficult. Just collecting those more common alchemical materials was not within the scope of the system triggering the task.
but……
The Ice Giant, although it is relatively easy to deal with in the game, it is a game after all, and the skills and equipment are very good when fighting the Ice Giant. If it is in reality, you can compare it with the Blood Demon in Cohen Prairie. Although the two are not of the same type, it can be concluded that the Ice Giant is at least not lower than the high-level extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Livia's expression became serious, and she asked Natalia in confusion: "Why is there an ice giant here?"
This was something he couldn't understand. There were ice giants in the forest. It seemed so wrong no matter how he looked at it.
"I don't know either, but the news I got was that the nobleman saw the snowy night flowers last year but failed to bloom. When he was about to return, he ran into an ice giant and suffered heavy losses. This is why he sold the news to me instead of sending his own team to pick the flowers.
After all, although the location of the Snow Night Flower is at the junction of the outer and inner areas of the Gray Demon Forest, the danger is not very great. If it were not for the existence of the Ice Giant, he would definitely send a group of people to pick it himself."
Natalia shook her head and said with a heavy expression.
Livia exhaled and looked up at the night that was beginning to darken.
This is difficult!
