Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The one who seemed to be the captain of the guard team kept examining Lu Yuan.

He didn’t have any other choice but to seem uncourteous.

After all, he was responsible for the security of the Princess’ mansion. Naturally, he couldn’t allow any blunders.

However, the Princess’ illness was confidential to begin with. It was a secret mission that had been entrusted to the higher-ups within a small area.

Hearing Lu Yuan’s sudden words, he naturally needed to examine him carefully.

Lu Yuan coughed lightly and continued: “Of course, I’m not a thief, but I’m not a doctor either. In fact, I’m… Um, I was sent by Solaka. The greatest Alchemist Solaka sent me here. I heard that the Princess has fallen ill, so I rushed here. I have a way to treat the Princess’ illness.”

When the guard heard that Lu Yuan was so confident and even mentioned the Alchemist Solaka’s name, his guard against him immediately became less.

“Alright, follow me. You guys continue to guard here! Don’t let any suspicious people slip past you!”

“Yes!”

Then, Lu Yuan followed the guard captain into the Princess’ mansion.

After entering the Princess’ mansion, Lu Yuan finally understood what luxury was.

The interior decoration was very exquisite with the aura of nature. The moment he entered, a huge courtyard barged into his eyes.

Around the courtyard, there were some very beautiful trees and some rockery, the chirping of birds could also be vaguely heard.

There was also a pond in the middle of the courtyard where some small fish were playing.

Lu Yuan sighed in his heart. As expected of the place where the Princess lived. It was so very luxurious.

When they arrived at the backroom, he was immediately ordered to stop by the guard captain.

“Halt! I’ll go ask for instructions! A word of advice. It’s best not to act rashly. Here, someone can take your life at any time!”

It was normal for the guard captain to warn Lu Yuan. After all, he had brought Lu Yuan here, so naturally, there were other experts in charge of this area.

Otherwise, if a ruffian had entered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After the guard captain went to ask for instructions concisely, a middle-aged woman walked out from the backroom.

One could see that she had spent quite a lot on maintaining herself. At first glance, she looked very young.

She was also wearing extremely luxurious jewelry and clothes.

Lu Yuan also saw the name of this NPC, Diana.

Diana walked out and looked at Lu Yuan.

“You said that you can cure the Princess’ illness?”

The moment she spoke, one could feel her dignified temperament. This was a temperament that could only be nurtured in one by being in a high position for a long time.

Lu Yuan said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, “That’s right! I can cure the Princess’ illness!”

Diana nodded and said, “Very well! The younger generation can be regarded with respect!”

[Diana has issued you a sole mission — Cure the Princess!]

[Mission Requirement]: One day, the Princess of Amber City fell ill with a strange illness, causing her to be bedridden. Every day, she would be in a daze, and every day, she would only be awake for about an hour. Therefore, your mission is to cure the Princess’ illness. You will receive a generous reward if you succeed.

[Mission Reward]: 3000 EXP, 50 gold coins, 50 reputation points, a mysterious gift from the Princess!

[Mission Failure]: You will never be allowed to enter the Princess’ mansion again, the Princess’ favorability towards you -500!

[Time Limit] : 72 hours.

As expected, the mission was successfully triggered, and Lu Yuan immediately accepted it without hesitation.

The time given by the mission was three days. Based on his memories from his previous life, Lu Yuan had long familiarized himself with the process of this mission.

He knew that the time was completely sufficient to complete the mission!

Diana revealed a smile, “In that case, I’ll await your good news. Come and find me when you’re ready.”

With that, Diana went back to the backroom.

Lu Yuan also left.

…

In the backroom of the Princess’ mansion, it was just so that the Princess had woken up. She saw Diana, who had been taking care of her, suddenly go out for a while before coming back.

She could not help but ask curiously, “What’s wrong? Did something happen outside?”

Diana smiled and said, “Nothing much. Just now, a young man came over and said that he could treat your illness. Let him try for now.”

Hearing Diana’s words, the Princess’ expression suddenly darkened.

“Will my illness really recover? If he can truly cure me, I will thank him properly.”

Diana could not help but sigh softly. It was really hard to say.

…

Lu Yuan quickly left the inner city.

When he returned to the outer city, he could still feel the hustle and bustle of the outer city.

Not only were there some peddlers, but there were also many pedestrians. In addition, some of the players had moved in.

The whole city was bustling.

After Lu Yuan received the mission, the mission notification on it changed to “go back to look for Diana after you are ready”.

He still had 71 hours and 50 minutes left to complete the mission.

The countdown started the moment he received the mission.

“Fortunately, I know what kind of illness the Princess has. I really admire those guys who had researched it in my previous life. Even without any clues, they can still comb out such a mission line.”

The illness that the Princess was suffering from was called the Frost Moss Disease, where there were frost elements within her that were constantly eroding her body.

As a result, she was muddleheaded all day and only had one hour of being conscious each day.

According to the normal procedure of the mission, one had to perform a preliminary assessment of the Princess’ illness, then search through the ancient books and determine the cause of the illness.

After determining the cause of the illness, one would then have to find a physician who could treat the illness.

Then, through various clues, one would learn that there was such a physician in Amber City who could cure the Frost Moss Disease.

After some time, one would finally find this physician.

After finding the physician, one would then have to complete the task of looking for the relevant ingredients and making the potion.

Each step was equally tedious!

It was simply not something that a human could complete within such a short time!

“But the current me already knows who the physician is!”

According to the memories of his previous life, Lu Yuan already knew who the physician was, and he even knew where he was!

This was Lu Yuan’s advantage.

According to the route in his memory, Lu Yuan crossed the street and walked through various alleys.

Finally, he found the location of the physician in one of the alleys.

Almost no one would come here, even players would not set foot in this place.

Lu Yuan raised his head and saw a clinic. The sign read Rhine Clinic.

The sign had many years of history, the words on it had been eroded till they were almost too faint to read.
