Chapter 48

“Come on, why’d you drag me here so early?” Lawrence grumbled, still half–asleep as he stumbled into Nolan’s estate before dawn.

“Wake up, wake up! You need to see this? Nolan said, sounding unusually eager.

Lawrence was still groggy—until he saw what was inside the wooden box on the table, His eyes widened, and in an instant, he was fully awake.

“Good heavens! That’s a Purple Shroom!” He rushed over, carefully picking it up as if handling a priceless artifact. “And just look at the quality- absolutely top–tier! Where on earth did you get this?”

His excitement was palpable. He brought the Purple Shroom closer, almost as if he wanted to kiss it.

“Calm down.” Ro

Ross cut in impatiently. “Just tell us this is over a hundred years old, right?”

The others nodded eagerly, all eyes on Lawrence. Only Nolan remained unruffled, watching from the side.

Lawrence didn’t hesitate. “Of course! Just look at its size. There’s no doubt this is a hundred–year–old Purple Shroom.”

“That’s incredible” Ross and the others nearly jumped with joy. “Prince Nolan, you really found one!”

This is amazing, Prince Nolan! One of the three rare herbs needed for your treatment–secured just like that!” said another.

Nolan raised an eyebrow. His gaze drifted to the empty wooden box on the table, his thoughts lingering on Eliza. She had handed him this gift so calmly that he never imagined it would be something this valuable.

Lawrence, still marveling at the Purple Shroom, couldn’t hold back his curiosity. “Prince Nolan, where did you get this? It looks so fresh, like it was just picked.”

He assumed it came from some herb gatherers and rubbed his hands together, already plotting. If he could find out where it came from, maybe he could try his luck

“It’s not that big a favor, Nolan said, smiling slightly. “I helped her out a couple of times and gave her some medical books. I didn’t expect her to

Lawrence’s eyes widened in surprise. “Wait… Medical books? So the person you asked me for medical books for–she’s the one who gave you this Purple Shroom, huh?

“That’s right,” Nolan confirmed, will looking at the Purple Shroom with a thoughtful expression.

Lawrence’s curiosity grew. “She wants to study medicine, huh? Why didn’t she just come to me directly

“You” Nolan shot him a sidelong glance.

That single look had Lawrence jumping to his feet. “Hey! What’s with that look! I’m the Sage of Medicine! Do you have any idea how many people beg me to teach them”

Lawrence was already thinking about what kind of gift he could ask from his new disciple–preferably another hundred–year–old Purple Shroom. If not, even one a few decades old would do. As long as the quality was this good, he wouldn’t complain.

“This Purple Shroom must’ve been stored with Everlife Vine for quite some time, Lawrence continued. “Otherwise, the scent wouldn’t still be lingering like this”
