With the keen intuition of an adventurer, Li Qiuzhi sensed that something was happening. Perhaps there was something that needed help from him, the honorary knight.

After all, they are all commissioned tasks, and you can go anywhere as long as you can make money from Mora.

With this thought in mind, Li Qiuzhi walked towards the alchemy table.

"Good morning everyone!"

Li Qiuzhi greeted him with a smile as if in spring breeze.

Hearing his voice, everyone except Albedo who was concentrating on his work looked in the direction of the voice.

Sugar was a little surprised to find that it was Li Qiuzhi whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Timaus would occasionally meet him and chat with him because he worked at the alchemy table.

For example, the progress of his project on "Extracting raspberry pigments to make non-fading dyes."

"Oh? Isn't this the Honorary Knight? Judging from your appearance, has something good happened to you recently?"

Cavalry Captain Kaia said jokingly with a smile on his dark face.

"Well, I was lucky enough to get a two-handed sword embryo when I was adventuring yesterday..."

Li Qiuzhi told the story of how he had commissioned the blacksmith shop to make weapons.

"I see."

Kaeya nodded with a little surprise. The Knights did not have many weapon embryos in stock.

When she applied for a two-handed sword blank for apprentice knight Noelle and asked the craftsmen to make the West Wind Greatsword, it took a long time before there was a spare one for her to use.

At this moment, Albedo suddenly stopped what he was doing, looked at the picture on the canvas, and showed a trace of thought.

"What's wrong, Mr. Albedo? Is it possible that the dye I developed is not useful?"

Timaeus asked with some doubt.

His non-fading dye has been successfully developed, and the dye that Albedo is currently painting with was developed by him.

Unfortunately, raspberries are yellow in color, and the only dye developed is yellow. If you want to use it in painting, you need to use it as a base material and re-mix other colors.

This is naturally not difficult for professional painter Albedo.

“It can definitely be improved.

“However, what I find strange is not this, but that I find that the beast hound I drew seems to be just an empty form.

"Even if I create it, I can't study it. Is it because I don't understand it enough?"

Albedo lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought again.

As a master of "creative alchemy", it is not as difficult to create something that does not exist in the world as to "replicate" something that already exists.

After all, the former can be based on one's own understanding, but the latter requires sufficient understanding of existing things.

"..."

For such a high-level question, Timaus could only rub his head and had no say at all.

"Painted Beast Realm Hound? What are you researching?" Li Qiuzhi asked the girl with emerald hair curiously.

"Ah, that's right. Mr. Albedo wanted to study ways to deal with the corrosive power of those monsters, so he wanted to try to draw a living one."

Sandu, who was wearing round half-frame glasses on her fair nose, answered in a somewhat shy tone.

Is that so? You are worthy of being Mr. Albedo. If you don’t have research materials, just create one yourself.

Li Qiuzhi was stunned for a moment, then felt a little strange: "Since you want a living beast monster, why don't you go to the Wolf Territory and catch one?"

With Albedo's strength, isn't it easy to catch those monsters?

"We've tried this. Ordinary physical restraints have no effect on them because they can travel through space. Even special drugs will be corroded and decomposed by the magic blood in their bodies. We have no other options for now, so we resorted to this last resort."

Albedo shook his head in response.

"So, you are short of Mora now, right? If you can help Albedo catch a beast monster, I believe the chief alchemist will not be stingy with Mora."

Kaia spread his hands and said with a smile.

"Kaeya, please stop joking. How can I do something that even Mr. Albedo finds difficult?"

Li Qiuzhi looked at him helplessly.

If his mental power was stronger, he might be able to stun them with his invisible mental tentacles, but with his current strength in bending the soup spoon, it is unlikely to have much impact on the monsters' consciousness.

In addition to interfering with real objects, his invisible mental tentacles can also attack the enemy's mental consciousness.

“No need. The guerrilla leader sent several corpses of monsters here yesterday. Although they disappeared very quickly, I was unable to thoroughly study the corrosive force.

"But I have some ideas on how to attack them so that the wounds cannot be healed."

Albedo said while crossing his arms.

Ever since he saw these monsters, he felt that they were very dangerous, and it was imperative to develop a way to deal with the power of "erosion".

If they emerge on a large scale one day, it will be a disaster for mankind.

“Yeah, in addition to Mr. Albedo, I also gave myself a new topic related to ‘Bioalchemy’.

“That is to develop something like an smear-type healing ointment that can quickly heal wounds.

"This way, when someone is bleeding profusely, the bleeding can be stopped quickly."

Sugar moved her furry emerald ears and said with a smile on her fair face.

"Oh I got it."

Li Qiuzhi nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that the Knights of Favonius were already very aware of the danger of the "Bleeding Dog".

"But, since you've stated it so clearly, is there something you want me to help you with?"

Li Qiuzhi looked at the somewhat shy girl and said with a smile.

"Hehe, you figured it out. To develop and make that kind of ointment, you need a kind of fungus called 'Cranberry Mushroom' that has a very good hemostatic effect. They can usually only be found in the forest.

"It's just right that you're here. Can you please come with me? Yes, it's near the Whispering Forest. Don't worry, I'll pay you."

Sandang touched her ears a little embarrassedly, and a shy blush appeared on her fair face.

Thanks to "Electronic Credit Quality" for the 500-coin reward!

Thanks to "lovely, xiaobai" for the reward of 500 coins!

Chapter 181 Wind Chime Bird

Sucrose mainly wants to find someone to deal with monsters that she might encounter, so that she doesn't have to do it herself and disturb others from looking for what she needs.

"Of course, no problem."

Considering that Fischl was still at home and that he had promised to take care of her for the next two days, it would not be a good idea to take a commission that was too far away.

At least I have to get back at night, otherwise it will be too late to prepare dinner.

And Sucrose said it was near the Whispering Forest, so the distance wouldn't be too far, it felt just right.

Therefore, Li Qiuzhi agreed readily.

"Well, I was planning to prepare other things in a few days before looking for vine mushrooms, but now I can do it earlier. Thank you."

Sandu said while putting her hands behind her back and looking at the ground.

[Sugar has a favorable impression on you, gaining 200 points of favorable impression. Current favorable impression level is Lv.3 (230/300)]

Looking at the favorability prompt that appeared on the character panel, Li Qiuzhi smiled. He didn't know what ability Sucrose would give him once her favorability towards him reached the maximum level.

I'm a little bit looking forward to it. After all, the "Great Illusionary Dream, All Things, and Mad Eyes of Judgment" given by Fischl is still very useful.

The most important thing is to be able to visually see the enemy's strength, which effectively avoids the situation where he unknowingly provokes a powerful enemy and then is killed in return.

Unfortunately, the favorability is only at level three now, and it will probably take quite a while to reach the maximum level.

It seems that I still need to find more opportunities to spend time with girls.

"Haha. It looks like we've already discussed it. Let's not delay any further. We can leave now and come back earlier.

"I'm different. I thought I could take a day off today, but I didn't expect Albedo to call me back. He said I needed to use ice elements to help him with some experiments. Oh, I was just about to go to the tavern for a drink."

Cavalry Captain Kaia spread his hands, showing a slightly helpless expression, and said complainingly.

"As colleagues, we should help each other, right?"

Albedo has a calm expression. He is a gentle man who rarely smiles.

"Well, let's set off first." Shatang nodded slightly and walked out of the city gate, with Li Qiuzhi following behind.

Whispering Forest.

The branches of the trees overlap, forming a dense mesh, and the brilliant sunlight passes through it to form round beams of light.

The light gently caressed the sugar-colored over-the-knee suspender stockings, and swayed quickly as the legs swung back and forth.

"Ah, Mr. Adventurer, look over there. There's a vine clinging to the tree. Let's go over and look for it."

A look of surprise appeared on Sugar's fair face.

According to Sugar, the vine flower mushroom is a type of fungus that grows on large green vines and often appears between ten to twenty days after the rain.

In its initial stage, it has a green round head, just like an ordinary mushroom. As it grows, the top will slowly crack like a cross.

When fully mature, the crimini mushroom looks like it is flipped inside out.

The opened head looks like a beige flower, so it is called "vine flower mushroom".

"Finally found the vines? I hope we can gain something." Li Qiuzhi has been accompanying Sugar in the Whispering Forest for a long time.

There was no gain in the previous period.

It probably didn't rain more than ten days ago, so there are fewer of them, and they are good hemostatics even without being treated.

Generally, people passing by will collect them when they see them.

The two walked towards the vines. With the shade of the trees, the wind felt a little cooler.

"It's hard to pull down a vine this big. Wait a moment, Sugar. I'll climb up and take a look."

Li Qiuzhi said as he looked at the green vine hanging on the big tree in front of him which was at least five or six meters high.

"Well, please."

Sandang clenched her hands slightly and bent them, her face always blushing with shyness, and spoke to him.

After pulling at the vine and finding it quite strong, Li Qiuzhi pulled it, leaned his body, put his feet on the trunk, and slowly walked up.

More than ten seconds later.

Li Qiuzhi was already standing steadily on the broad branches of the tree, and the vines were still extending a little upwards, but it didn't matter.

Because he had already seen the same mushrooms as Sugar had described, right above his head within reach.

"Haha, I finally found you." Li Qiuzhi chuckled.

He stood on tiptoe and reached out his hand to pick it when a "ding-ling" sound like a wind chime rang out in the quiet forest.

It's like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Li Qiuzhi perceived that the wind around him suddenly became chaotic, as if it was being pushed away to both sides by something.

A sense of crisis was approaching rapidly in his mind, and driven by it, Li Qiuzhi immediately gave up on picking the vine flower mushrooms.

As he retracted his hand, he leaned his body back slightly, his foot suddenly missed a step and he jumped to the ground.

Right now.

Li Qiuzhi saw a huge green wind blade cutting into the branch where he was standing.

Two branches as thick as arms were cut off as easily as cubes of tofu, and all that could be seen were a few faint annual rings on the flat cross-section.

Li Qiuzhi landed steadily on the muddy ground covered with many fallen leaves, and then looked in the direction where the wind blade came from with a serious gaze.

In the crown of a neighboring tree stood a large green bird the size of an adult duck, with a long tail that was not feathered, but rather like the hairless tail of a mouse.

But it is green, and there seems to be a wind chime hanging at the very end. I guess the "ding-ling" sound just now was made when it was moving.

"What the hell is this?"

Li Qiuzhi's eyes slowly turned golden, and he opened the Eye of Judgment. He could clearly see the level and weaknesses of this creature.
