"I want your help with something not too difficult."
After returning behind the counter and rummaging a bit, Barnard came over carrying an empty bottle and explained:
"Because Sunset Empire has been at war with Dawn Empire these past years, I can't get my usual shipment of monkey liquor."
"If you could go to Sunset Empire and bring me back a bottle of that Sunset Wine..."
[Related factor detected, unlocking mission 'Sunset Empire's Fine Wine'.]
[Sunset Empire's Fine Wine]
[Mission level: Personal ~ Regional mission]
[Mission description: Due to recent wars between Sunset Empire and Dawn Empire, trade is difficult. To enjoy the beloved Sunset Wine again, Barnard entrusts you to fetch a bottle from Sunset Empire.]
[Mission reward: Obtain jars worth 20,000 energy points from Barnard for free.]
"Sunset Empire..."
Glancing at the mission details, Su Wu nodded: "Sure, I was planning to visit there anyway, so I'll bring it back for you."
He had already gotten some useful info about Sunset Empire from Lucky Rabbit.
It was located on the opposite side of Dawn Forest, also a major power equal to Dawn Empire.
However, unlike the mixed-race Dawn Empire, Sunset Empire was entirely human.
More than 50% of the humans there were extreme humanists, rejecting all non-human races.
Even neutral entities like Barnard would be forcibly expelled if not human.
That's why Barnard wanted Su Wu's help.
However, completing this mission would take some time.
Before that, Su Wu decided to buy the higher priority jars to prevent others from grabbing them.
"The 5th low-tier jar on the 3rd shelf's 1st row, the 7th low-tier jar on the 4th shelf's 2nd row... the 7th high-tier jar on the 7th shelf's 10th row."
Slapping down a small pile of energy stones, Su Wu said: "I'll take them all. Help me get them."
"Right away, please wait!"
Seeing the largest purchase of the month, Barnard excitedly gathered the jars.
"One high-tier jar, four mid-tier jars, and ten low-tier jars. Confirm?"
"No problem."
Su Wu stuffed all the jars into his storage ring without opening them in front of Barnard and waved his hand: "That's all for today."
"Please come again!"
Leaving the jar merchant, Su Wu did not hurry to open the jars.
He recalled the locations previously noted and walked toward the city's west.
After about twenty minutes through alleys, he reached a blacksmith shop.
This was where mysterious blacksmith Alicia was located, per an earlier triggered option.
According to the gate guard, Alicia might not be the strongest blacksmith in Dawn Empire but was the most unique.
What was unique?
She had successfully forged a fifth-tier item and had also failed to forge a first-tier item—both on the same day.
Because of this, her reputation surpassed the empire's top sixth-tier blacksmith, and her deeds were spread beyond Dawn Forest.
In fact, without the Holy Judgment's tip, Su Wu wouldn't have guessed this odd blacksmith held the method to repair the White Jade Sword.
However...
He seemed a bit late.
The shop was already closed.
Su Wu turned to leave.
He would have to come back tomorrow.
Leaving through the city's west gate and away from the interference device of Dawn Empire, Su Wu activated spatial teleportation back to his territory.
As soon as he landed, he noticed Cang Yue nearby.
After nearly two hours of effort, she had completed the tasks Su Wu assigned and returned.
Noticing Su Wu had returned while eating a colorful mushroom, she turned around.
"Su Wu, want to try?"
She handed him another uneaten mushroom and explained: "I found this near a spider nest. It tastes better than the previous radishes."
[Five-Color Mushroom: Delicious but has strong hallucinogenic effects, please consume with caution.]
Su Wu calmly pushed it back.
"No thanks, you eat it."
Without mythical-tier resistance, he couldn't handle such delicacies.
