Research Succeeded (Continued)

"What's wrong?"

"Lefiya complained to me that she's bought up all the Dragon Leaf Grass, and she's worried about where she'll get you experimental materials if you still don't have enough!"

Loki recalled what Lefiya had told her and repeated it to William.

Upon hearing Loki's words, William immediately understood.

If you want to create a new potion, you naturally need to memorize the known herbal properties and growing environments of the medicinal herbs.

Dragon Leaf Grass is a plant that grows in the "Great Tree Sea," one of the three great secret realms.

This herb is not currently included in existing medicinal formulas.

The distance between the Great Tree Sea and Orario is quite far, so naturally no one would make a special trip to the Great Tree Sea to pick herbs that have no effect whatsoever.

The Dragon Leaf Grass currently available in Orario is all from people who went to the "Great Tree Sea" to do quests and then brought it back as a bonus.

This is why the "Loki Familia" only had one roundup and then disappeared from the market.

"Forget it, you don't need to rush!"

"Just post a quest at the guild later to collect Dragon Leaf Grass. Pay a little extra, and plenty of low-level adventurers will accept it."

Loki waved her hand, returning to her previous supine position. In her mind, the matter was over, and it was time for her to drink again.

"Forget it! I'll go by myself!"

"It's a good opportunity to clear my head!"

William made his decision to himself, directly rejecting Loki's earlier suggestion to find someone to work for him.

Of course, he had his own reasons for saying that.

To be honest, with the updated drug research now in place, he has no reason to stay in this world anymore.

Furthermore, as his level increases, the monsters he needs to challenge to level up in this world also become stronger.

When he was upgrading from level 2 to level 3, he was already going to fight the floor master "Udaeus" on the 37th floor by himself.

When he upgrades from level 3 to level 4, he will challenge the floor master "Bakal" on the 49th floor.

What about when upgrading to level 5?

When upgrading to level 6 or 7!

Simply put, Loki Familia is no longer strong enough to protect him as he travels unharmed to deeper levels.

So, simply put, this world no longer holds that much appeal for him.

Before leaving, it wouldn't be bad to go out and see the scenery outside of Orario.

That's exactly what William thinks!

"Well! If you go yourself, you can retrieve the Dragon Leaf Grass faster. Anyway, the Familia doesn't have anything major going on right now."

Loki, lying on the sofa, gulped down a mouthful of wine and had no questions about William's suggestion.

"Then don't forget to report when you go. If you just sneak out like that, it'll be a lot of trouble to deal with it when you come back."

Loki, hiccuping from the alcohol, gave William these instructions.

Don't let her drunken, lecherous appearance fool you; she's actually quite shrewd. She knew all along that William and Ais had been sneaking out of town every morning to train.

But he was only gone for a short while, so no one bothered him.

However, it takes much longer to get to the "Great Tree Sea". High-level adventurers who leave Orario for such a long time without a reason will be fined a huge amount by the guild.

"So, Mr. William, are you registering to go to the 'Great Tree Sea' secret realm?"

The speaker was none other than Eina, the half-elf from the guild who hadn't appeared in a long time!

She was quite happy to chat with William, as it had been a long time since she had spoken to just the two of William.

During her working hours, William was mostly in a party when he went to the Dungeon.

When William went to the Dungeon alone, it was almost always her time off.

"Hmm, I want to go pick up some medicinal herbs, and then do some sightseeing while I'm at it!"

William sat in front of the counter and also took out the documents he had already signed with the Familia.

"I see! Going out to relax is a good idea!"

"Mr. William, you're holding yourself too tight."

Eina strongly agreed with William's decision, because she believed that William's rapid improvement in strength must be due to his constant vigilance and diligent efforts.

Well, that's how it is!

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Eina!"

Although William felt that Eina's thinking was probably not quite right, he didn't say much, since it would be troublesome to explain.

"In that case, Mr. William, why don't you try taking on a commission that's conveniently located along your route?"

Eina, who had already taken out her pen and was about to register, seemed to suddenly remember something, put down her pen, looked up at William, and said...

"A commission?"

William instinctively wanted to refuse, since he just wanted to relax and clear his head, and besides, he didn't need the small fee for the commission.

Even if he were to leave this world soon, the renewal potions he possesses would be a gold mine from which he would continuously make money, even if he were to return next time.

Besides, how much money can you get for a quest to go to the "Great Tree Sea"? That's a place for level 1 adventurers. Getting 100,000 Valis would be considered a lot!

He could earn much more by just going to the Dungeon once; he really doesn't care about this little bit of money.

"Because the monsters near the 'Great Tree Sea' suddenly caused an unusual disturbance and a forest anomaly."

"Furthermore, the distance between Orario and the 'Great Tree Sea' is too great, so no adventurer has accepted this quest yet."

"Um, Eina, I just want something purely..."

William saw that Eina was getting more and more excited as she spoke, and he wanted to interrupt Eina.

"I was just wondering about that! It would be wonderful if you could accept it, Mr. William."
