This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 419, Section 418: Special Envoy
"Boss, I need three bottles of Starry Dream! Please hurry!"

"Do you still have Moonshadow Blessing Potions? Any more?"

"Boss Dylan, I've been waiting for ages!"

At Puji House, a large number of customers flooded in today as soon as it opened, clamoring for all kinds of potions, keeping Dylan very busy. This was somewhat unusual.

Because several of the potions sold at Puji House are special formulas from elves, they have always been irreplaceable for adventurers with specific needs, and despite their high prices, business has always been good.

But it shouldn't be like this now, with a bunch of people rushing around like old ladies fighting over eggs, almost breaking down the threshold.

The reason was still the news from the western front: the western border had been ravaged by the demons, and Sanshan City was also in imminent danger.

Bianca struggled to part the crowd and scooped up a maid to prevent her from being trampled to death.

However, she herself soon became disoriented by the crowd and could only try her best to make room for Puji.

A warrior in armor walked past her from behind, and the hard armor bumped into Bianca on the back of the head.

Just as she staggered forward, a strong hand firmly supported her shoulder.

"Are you alright, little shop assistant?" Vera, dressed in light armor, stood behind her, using her arms to create some space for her, helping her and Puji squeeze out of the crowd.

"Th...thank you, Vera." Vera was a regular at Puji House, so Bianca naturally recognized her.

Dylan noticed the situation and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Stop pushing! We're sold out! What are you all doing? You almost hurt my employee!"

"What? That's it?"

"This place is gone so quickly..."

Amidst disappointed whispers, the crowd gradually left Puji House.

Dylan then had a chance to thank Bianca on her behalf: "Vera, thank you."

“It’s nothing…” Vera said, glancing at the empty medicine cabinet, and walked towards the door with a hint of disappointment.

Dylan called out to him from behind: "What kind of potion do you want? Windwhisperer's Brew?"

Vera's eyes lit up: "Yes! And the Emerald Whisper Potion!"

Dylan rummaged under the counter and brought out two bottles of each type of potion: "That's all."

"That's enough, that's enough!" Villali landed, counted out the silver coins, and carefully put the potion into his belt.

"Vera, are you going to the West?" Dylan suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask?"

“Right now, those who are rushing to stockpile potions are either fleeing east or heading west to fight the demons.” Dylan tidied the messy counter. “I don’t think you’re the kind of person who would flee.”

Vera nodded in agreement: "Although the demon raiding forces have left, there are still some scattered demons wandering around causing damage. We adventurers may not be able to influence the battle, but we can still manage to clear out some small groups of demons."

"Be careful," Dylan said, looking at the rather agreeable young man. "Keep an eye on news from Three Mountain City, or you'll lose your life."

Vera waved and left Puji House.

Dylan's reason for reminding him to pay attention to the news about Three Mountain City was simple: as the last stronghold on the western front against the demons, once it fell, the entire western part of the United Kingdom would be forced to be abandoned. At that time, the only way for adventurers like Vera to survive was to evacuate from the west as soon as possible.

After leaving Puji House, Vera walked along the cobblestone street toward the Adventurers' Guild, where he had arranged to meet his teammates.

As I passed by the "Lucky Coins" casino, I suddenly heard a commotion.

Two figures were roughly thrown out and slammed heavily to the ground.

One of the unfamiliar wanderers lay on the ground, frantically slapping himself in the face, muttering repeatedly, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die."

The other person was a familiar face...

"Please! At least give me back my Puji!" Horn clung tightly to the leg of a casino thug, crying and sobbing. "I promise I'll come back and pay off my debts as soon as I make money with Puji!" The thug impatiently kicked his hand away: "You want your lost stuff back? Go borrow money from your cronies to redeem it!"

Vera silently turned her head away and quickened her pace to avoid the farce.

It wasn't that he didn't want to help Horn, but if he really wanted to help him, he'd have to get him to quit gambling. Vera wasn't that free, so he could only wish him good luck.

The entrance to the Adventurers' Guild was bustling with activity, and a large crowd had gathered around the newly posted recruitment notice for Puji Masters.

The notice prominently displayed the generous benefits and was stamped with an official seal.

Vera found his teammates not far from the signboard.

Vera managed to buy the potion, and Fion bought the spellcasting item. Sirian shrugged sheepishly; he was surrounded and chatted up by a group of male adventurers and failed to snag the potion.

Then Fei Ling emerged from the guild, waving a piece of parchment: "There just happens to be a quest to help escort Puji to Golden Valley City!"

Because the production of Puji on the fungal carpet is highly random, although Puji can be raised locally on the front lines, if you want Puji with uniform and complete functions that are convenient for commanding operations, you still have to select them from the rear and transport them there.

This is clearly an official task.

After showing the mission briefing, Fei Ling suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, I was going to ask Lord Aiding about the name of his friend, but the staff said that Aiding had already left for the vicinity of the front line."

Vera nodded, feeling a little regretful that he had missed out again, but he completely understood.

In this critical moment, everyone is doing their part, and no one wants to watch the imperial iron hooves trample the United Kingdom.

"Have you asked Lord Aiding which direction he went? Could he also be near Golden Valley City?"

"No, they said they went to Redstone City."

"Redstone City...I think I remember it..."

"It's the city that the Silver Thorn Squad won, located south of Three Mountain City, separated by a fortress."

Fei Yin interjected, "Thinking about it now, 'winning a city,' in this time of war and chaos, I really don't know if it's a good thing or not..."

The world situation changes too fast; who could have predicted it back then?

Everyone was speechless for a moment, and could only silently pack their belongings, preparing to embark on a new journey.

……

Meanwhile, in the Redstone City Lord's Mansion.

Nova, the captain of the Silver Thorn Squad, respectfully welcomed Edin into his office.

This honor was not only due to Aidin's diamond-level strength, but more importantly, because Aidin was here as a special envoy of the Duke's daughter, Inanna.

As soon as the two sat down, Aidin took out a magical artifact engraved with intricate runes from his pocket and activated it right in front of Nova.

Nova looked puzzled, but did not interrupt Aidin.

As the item was activated, wisps of silvery-gray mist emerged from it, spreading along the walls and quickly enveloping the entire room in a flowing fog.

“The Veil of Concealment can completely block external detection,” Aidin explained.

But this only made Nova more puzzled: "So, Miss Inanna sent you here for...?"

Aidin didn't beat around the bush. He looked directly into Nova's eyes and said, word by word, "For the sake of the Living Wood Core, you possess that fragment of the divine artifact."

"you……!"

　Today's two chapters will still be posted after midnight.
