"J-So how?"
Reyna looked nervous. He had spent a lot of points to exchange for a recipe that even he could not use. The price was also too expensive, so the girl did not want to just throw it away.
Even if a little, he had to reduce the losses!
"The recipes ... are not just regular drink recipes, are they?"
"Of course not. The four-season fruit wine had a good effect in terms of cultivation. In addition, the tea of a hundred flowers also has a calming effect. It is said to help one in doing enlightenment."
"Oh?"
The two effects are clearly very good. Making cultivators cultivate faster and helping to calm down when getting a hitch, arguably makes the brain calmer and focused in solving problems. That thing is amazing.
Arthur looked at Reyna and asked, "Then why don't you do it yourself?"
Hearing Arthur's words, Reyna immediately looked depressed. He looked to the side while muttering.
"I don't want to. I can't do it. To make wine or tea, it requires expertise in refining high levels of medicine.
Rather than making wine or tea, at the high level alchemists clearly chose to make pills that were more beneficial."
"Say, what help do you need? If it's too hard, I might not be able to help. Besides, I'm just a chef." Arthur took a long breath.
"Please help me solve the problem in White Stone Village!" reyna said as she stared firmly into Arthur's eyes.
"White Stone Village?"
Arthur tilted his head. From his expression, the young man had clearly not heard it. Although he seemed reckless, he had obviously been searching for information about some cities, villages, and some important places in the surrounding kingdoms. But the name of Batu Putih Village was clearly never read or heard.
"White Stone Village is a small village located on the border. Although it is said to be the border of two kingdoms, it is located itself near the forest. That place is indeed not famous, so it's only natural that you haven't heard of it."
"You seem pretty familiar with the place. Isn't the information minimal? How did you know that? Do you want to find a treasure or something hidden there?"
"reason ... I can't say it."
"Then I can't help you" said Arthur casually.
"..." - ".Reyna looked at Arthur with an expression of disbelief.
"You even hide your purpose. The chances of you hiding important information are also great. Unknown, means more dangerous.
I have no intention of throwing away lives for just two mere recipes."
"I will not hide important information!"
"Tell me your purpose, little girl. Don't waste time here! Stop delaying me. I don't have time to mince words. Go!"
After saying that, Arthur turned around. He walked away without looking back.
Reyna was stunned for a moment. Biting his lower lip, he immediately walked up to Arthur. He followed her from behind, wanting to say something but always stalled out of doubt.
Looking towards Arthur who was walking with a bored and sometimes yawning expression, Reyna felt increasingly complicated.
"In White Stone Village, there are demons that eat the girls. The number is not so fixed. However, according to the information, the longer the number becomes more and more."
"..."
Reyna glanced at Arthur. Seeing how the young man was silent, he became even more confused.
"I ... I don't want to save them just because I'm considered a hero. I'm more selfish.
Ye know? The people in the Snake Dojo are not so close to me. You could say, they were all not close to each other. The situation is colder than 11 other places.
I've got a friend. He was not a senior disciple or a core disciple. The girl was just a humble outer door disciple. She was not very talented, but the girl was very kind.
Name's Nana. She was a nice, gentle, and very polite girl.
Nana is from Batu Putih Village, which is why I went there. Actually Nana never told me to go there. I just asked and he told me about his hometown. Including his sister who might be sacrificed.
You might think I was naive and accidentally taken advantage of by that girl just for help. But I don't feel that way.
I took the initiative to leave, it had absolutely nothing to do with the girl.
Master said that I have good talent. Merely, I myself understood that I was just a cowardly girl. Therefore, I depend on others.
I just want to help my friend. After that, I don't know where to go either.
I'm really pathetic, aren't I? Absolutely not worth it to be a hero, let alone— ouch!"
Reyna was shocked when she hit Arthur. Looking towards the young man who stopped abruptly, he could not help but complain in his heart. But after a while, the girl became calmer.
"Give me the recipe." Arthur said in a lazy tone.
"Eh? You ... really want to help me?" Reyna stared at Arthur with a surprised expression.
"Give it! After all, that place is close to the forest and mountains, right? Maybe I can hunt something there."
Arthur said with an impatient expression.
Reyna hurriedly took out two thin books and handed them to Arthur. He did not suspect that the young man was lying or anything like that. Either because the girl can tell people apart, or she's so naive.
Receiving the two books, Arthur gazed towards Reyna with a somewhat confused expression. At first, he thought that the girl was a cold ice princess figure or something. But who would have thought, it turned out that the cold-looking girl was so shy and naive.
'Yes ... humans cannot be seen from the outside.'
Arthur took a long breath. He opened the Hundred Flowers Tea recipe book first. The reason is simple, the book is thicker.
The young man read a glimpse of the ingredients. After which, he could not help but frown.
'More than 90 ingredients were not rare magic plants, even considered low-grade materials. Problem ...'
Arthur shook his head. Although the material is not so valuable, but the amount is many. In addition, the flowers should be fresh. That was fine for Arthur who had the storage space of the Yin-Yang Koi. But it is quite troublesome for others. This is why tea is not produced.
In addition to the difficulty of maintaining the material, the flowers must be processed manually. It is similar to traditional tea leaves. To make it more interesting, the 100 flowers have to be processed in turns because they have to be processed in different temperatures.
Reading the recipe, Arthur smiled. He did not expect to find anything that would interest him.
After storing the two books in a dimensional ring, Arthur looked at Reyna and said.
"I'm taking my word back. This task ..."
Arthur grinned.
"I'll take it."
