Chapter 700: What a Herbalist
Luke took the thing in his hand and found that it was magnesium powder of not too high purity.
Other compounds are also mixed in.
It's really fire-related. This thing is so easy to ignite...
Then, Luke bought a lot of native plants and seeds here.
Some of the plants here are really unique.
Most importantly, there is no green...
Most of the forests in the wild are red.
Even if there are other colors, they are very rare.
It's as if the red in this world has replaced the green.
Buy some seeds and go back to study them in the future.
After shopping for most of the day, Luke returned to the hotel.
Many things need to be delivered to the hotel one after another.
I made appointments with several stores and received the goods.
At dinner time, Edwin came to see Luke.
"Mr. Dutton, we would like to..."
Next, Edwin told Luke his plan.
They will continue to go to Rota City with the princess.
But these few days, they have nothing to do and are preparing to take on some tasks.
Luke knew some of the adventurers' missions, which varied greatly.
But the task Edwin took was to hunt wild animals and collect several kinds of herbs.
These things can be found in the forest near the city of Tatu.
However, they will have to stay in the nearby forest for a few days.
After listening to Edwin's words, Luke asked him curiously:
"Are you taking the princess with you?"
Edwin nodded seriously.
Luke sighed helplessly and asked Edwin:
"You are really brave. You just experienced an assassination attempt, and you actually want to take the initiative to go out and give others a chance?"
Edwin smiled awkwardly.
"This is the United Kingdom of Tire. The eldest prince's people will not mess around here."
"The princess has officially informed the city lord here and made the information public. The eldest prince will not risk a war between the two countries by sending someone to assassinate the princess again."
"Besides, I was thinking that with you and Ms. Maximov here, everything would be safe."
"Don't worry, we will give you half of the mission income as compensation."
Luke shook his head.
"Princess, why are you joining in the fun? You might as well stay in the hotel."
Edwin scratched his head and whispered:
"The princess is actually a herbalist..."
This answer left Luke speechless.
"Well, I'll talk to Ms. Maximoff about this."
Luke did not have dinner with Edwin's team.
I ordered a few dishes at the hotel and took them up to eat with Wanda.
"You said they were going on a mission to the nearby forest?"
Luke nodded.
"I guess that princess is up to something again."
Wanda thought about it.
"Then I'll go with them, and you stay to get some information?"
After a brief thought, Luke asked Wanda:
"Actually, you don't have to go. We are just teaming up with them. There is no need to get too involved."
Wanda shook her head.
"No, I need to familiarize myself with my new abilities, and I might as well go out and take a look."
Luke thought about it and finally agreed to Wanda's request.
"Okay, I'll help you prepare your camping stuff."
After discussing with Wanda, Luke found Edwin.
"When will you leave?"
"The day after tomorrow morning, we still need to prepare some supplies tomorrow."
Luke nodded.
"I have other matters to attend to in Tatu City. Ms. Maximov will go with you."
Edwin wasn't too disappointed to hear that Luke wasn't going.
At least Wanda the Warlock would follow them.
Obviously, no matter how skilled Luke is at swordsmanship, he is just an ordinary man in their eyes.
And Wanda is a warlock after all, and seems to be a relatively powerful one.
At night, Luke continues his grandfather Bruce Wayne's career.
Beat those evil people hiding in the corner into fools...
I received a lot of news during these two nights.
There is a lot of gossip, most of which is useless information.
However, the news that the Vatican was looking for someone still spread in the city.
From this perspective, it seems beneficial for Luke and Wanda to act separately.
At least the target isn't too obvious.
The city is very big, with at least close to 100,000 people.
In the dark corners, those gangsters know a lot.
I just heard that there is a contagious disease among the gang leaders recently, and once infected, everyone will become a fool...
No one pays attention to the garbage in these corners.
The leader is dead, so just replace him with someone else.
So far, I haven't heard of any new leaders getting this disease.
Of course, some people also think that the subordinates were looking for an opportunity to kill their boss and take over.
But this statement is self-defeating since it also happens to leaders of other gangs.
The next morning, after seeing off Wanda and Edwin's team, Luke came to a house and knocked on the door.
A tall man opened the door.
I was surprised to see Luke.
Luke smiled and said to him:
"Mr. Gore Crowder?"
The man looked at Luke with a wary look.
"What's the matter with you?"
Luke kept smiling and asked him back.
"Can we go inside and talk? I heard you were looking for a job?"
The man hesitated for a moment, then asked Luke in a gentle tone:
"Who did you hear that from?"
"Peterson of the Black Horse Tavern mentioned you casually."
The man stepped aside and opened the door.
"Please come in."
Luke walked out into the yard.
I looked around the yard.
very common.
It can well reflect the living standards of the lower classes of people in this era.
Basically, the house is bare.
After entering the house, the furnishings inside are simple.
After sitting down, Luke saw a younger girl.
"Brother, are there any guests coming?"
The man smiled when he saw the girl coming out.
"Yes, Wendy, help me get this gentleman a glass of water."
The girl turned and went to another room.
After Luke sat down, the man also sat down.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Dutton, and I am the housekeeper of a sorceress."
"This time, I'm here to recruit servants for long-term employment."
The man hesitated and asked Luke.
"Just in Tatu City?"
Luke shook his head.
"No, we might have to go to Rota City in a few days."
"The capital? That's very far away..."
Luke interrupted.
"I want a long-term employment relationship."
While the man was hesitating, the girl came over with a cup of warm water and placed it in front of Luke.
"Thank you, little girl."
The girl blushed and looked up quickly at the smiling Luke, then lowered her head and left.
When the man was hesitating to refuse, Luke suddenly said:
"I can cure your sister's illness."
The kid's head snapped up and looked at Luke.
"Really...really?"
Afterwards, the man felt a little lost.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I can't leave my sister and go to work."
Luke raised the corners of his mouth.
"I didn't say to separate you siblings. Ms. Maximov needs a maid, and I think your sister is perfect."
"Wha...what? You're not lying to me?"
Luke calmly pulled out a warlock badge from his pocket.
"Don't worry, we can go to the Municipal Center to sign the contract. He's a genuine warlock."
