"Master."
Alana shot Marcus a sideways, almost playful glance before speaking, her tone careful and deliberate.
"Snow Grass Fungus and Cloud Pattern Water Fluid are both high-grade materials guarded by monsters above level fifty. Cloud Bay in particular is extremely dangerous. The terrain is complex, monster types overlap, and unexpected risks are everywhere. Master, it would be much safer to wait until you reach level fifty before going after those two ingredients."
She paused briefly, then continued in a gentler voice.
"So for now, we don't need to worry about Snow Grass Fungus or Cloud Pattern Water Fluid. But Snow Spirit Cicadas are different. They only appear in the Red Locust Forest of Ghost Rain Marsh during autumn, and this is the final week of their active season this year. If you don't catch them now, we'll have to wait until next year."
Marcus frowned slightly. "Are Snow Spirit Cicadas easy to catch?"
"Yes," Alana replied without hesitation, nodding.
