The next day.
Early in the morning, before dawn, House left the town alone.
The moonlight spilled across the plain, like a thin layer of silver frost, gently covering the tender green grass and exposed soil.
The outline of the misty forest in the distance was faintly visible in the night, like a lurking beast, quietly waiting for something.
Occasionally, a breeze blows from the edge of the plain, swirling up a few dry leaves on the ground and making a soft rustling sound that is particularly clear in the silence.
Wearing a soft helmet made of Lilim, House ran wildly across the fields, his feet sinking into the cool morning dew.

【.
From the first light of dawn to the rising moon at night, House worked almost non-stop.
He swept through the entire southern plains of Wind Chime Town, including the herb area near the edge of the forest, four times.
House couldn't remember how many herbs he had collected, but looking at the two large, bulging bags in front of him, based on his past collecting experience, he estimated that the two bags together contained at least 40 silver coins.
Carrying a heavy bag of herbs, House returned to the Adventurers' Guild amidst the astonished gazes of his fellow herb-gathering adventurers.
"this......
""
The other tellers and the group of adventurers who were settling their accounts stared blankly at the two large bags of herbs in front of Theresa, their expressions of shock no less than that of Theresa herself.
"Which pharmacy did this guy rob?"
"Who knows, judging from the condition of the equipment, he doesn't seem like a thief. He's probably just a spendthrift from some pharmacy who stole their own stock and wants to resell it while the guild is raising prices."
"Hey, what an idiot. Other pharmacies charge the same price. They can't make any money even if they work themselves to death, and they'll just ruin the herbs."
"You're the idiot. They're just clearing out their inventory. They're giving the guild some of the items that have been stored for too long and are in poor condition. They don't care anyway."
"But they look quite fresh to me, many of them still seem to have dirt on them, it doesn't look like they're clearing out inventory..."
"Do you think anyone could pick so many in one go?"
'
""
The whispers around her did not distract Theresa from counting the herbs.
After a while.
"759 Dewdrops, 253 Hyacinths, and damaged herbs: 20 Dewdrops and 9 Hyacinths."
There are a total of 45 silver coins and 54 copper coins. Please check carefully.
The moment the words were spoken and the count was completed, one of the adventurers who had gathered to watch the spectacle immediately let out a mocking laugh.
"How foolish, we even lost more than 20 medicinal herbs."
Hearing the man's sarcastic words, House sighed inwardly.
Indeed, we lost a full 1 silver and 34 copper.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Firstly, we picked too much, and our bags were too full;
Secondly, he was constantly on the move all day, and the herbs at the bottom were inevitably bumped and damaged under the long-term bumps and pressure.
After feeding all the damaged herbs to Lilim, House asked if there were any wind-type magic cores in the guild's inventory.
Upon learning that the guild had only recently acquired one Earth-type magic core and none Wind-type, House turned and left the guild.
The adventurers nearby, who had nothing else to do, changed the subject and continued their casual conversation.
Theresa, who was taking a short break at the front desk, looked at the group of adventurers from the bottom of the city who were chatting and joking together, with the indifference she showed towards the dead.
With the great battle approaching, these individuals, despite their low strength, were blinded by greed and recklessly chose to participate in the war.
Despite having chosen to participate in the battle, they continued to waste their time as usual, failing to seize the opportunity to take on missions and stockpile resources like House did to prepare for the upcoming great battle.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, these individuals will be among the first adventurers to fall in the great battle.
Two days later.
"There are a total of 41 silver coins and 20 copper coins. Please check carefully."
After Theresa finished calculating the herbs, House asked again whether there were any wind-type magic cores in the guild's inventory.
Now his savings have once again reached 1 gold coin.
In just three days, he had earned more than 1 gold coin. House couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "War profits!"
Normally, it would take at least a month to earn that much.
Unlike now, it only took three short days.
The profit difference is more than tenfold.
When House spoke again, asking if the guild had any wind-type magic cores in stock, this time Theresa didn't turn around to go backstage to check. She simply shook her head slightly: "I'm sorry, we still don't have any."
She had already asked House before he arrived.
No, it never has.
After shaking her head slightly, Theresa gave House a suggestion—
Why not try your luck at the prop shop in town?
You never know, there might be a staff inlaid with a wind-type magic core in one of the prop shops.
At this moment, Theresa clearly misunderstood House's intentions. She thought that what House urgently needed was a staff that could greatly improve the ease of casting spells.
After all, in her opinion, this was the only thing House lacked the most.
"A prop shop?"
House gently stroked his chin with his fingertips, lost in thought.
Over the next two days, House continued to gather herbs while also spending half a day visiting almost every prop shop in town.
To his disappointment, not a single shop contained the wind-type magic core he longed for.
Five days have passed since the guild issued the war notice.
With war looming at any moment, the wind-type magic core that can help Harpy complete his evolution has become an indispensable key for him in order to enhance his own strength as soon as possible.
As long as Harpy can evolve, the manual will definitely provide powerful stats and unlock new skills.
No matter what it is, it can greatly enhance his own strength.
At that time, whether hunting goblins or protecting oneself on the battlefield, one will be more at ease.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
After another fruitless visit to a prop shop, House's hopes gradually faded, and he had no choice but to give up.
Pity.
Just then, Sylvia suddenly approached him.
"House, are you free?"
Seeing House's exhausted face and the disappointment of unfulfilled desire in his eyes, a hint of doubt and worry flashed across Sylvia's eyes.
I haven't seen House for the past few days. What happened to him?
Although curious, Sylvia didn't ask too many questions, but instead stated her purpose directly:
Thanks to the herbs House delivered on his previous two occasions, the potion inventory at the Healing Spring Pharmacy has increased significantly.
As war broke out, the prices of various potions skyrocketed, and the mother's prop shop made a fortune as a result.
Therefore, she wanted to invite House over to her house to thank him properly.
"I should be thanking Ms. Catherine."
House, who had been on the move for days and had suffered repeated setbacks, recalled Ms. Catherine's gentle face, and an inexplicable impulse drove him to agree to Sylvia's request.
They followed her to the Healing Spring Pharmacy.
