Three days had passed in the blink of an eye.
Gilgamel stood behind a table in a room filled with potion instruments and various elixirs, holding a potion bottle filled with black liquid.

"This is the final one," Gilgamel exclaimed with relief as he examined the results displayed by his appraisal skill.
Over the past three days, Gilgamel has remained at his residence, keeping a watchful eye on Dodo, who had not woken up yet.
During this period, he has been occupied with making various types of Tier-1 potions, including Healing Potion, Neutralizing Potions, Beast Avoiding Potions, Night Vision Potions, Water Breathing Potions, and more.
These potions are not made for himself but for some fellow members who request them.
Gilgamel is a well-known potion maker on the first floor. Many members, including some seniors on the upper floors, have praised the quality of his potions. Additionally, he works efficiently and produces satisfying results.
Despite his reputation, Gilgamel often spends a lot of time outside the castle and only returns home to rest. Although the other members are aware of his whereabouts, they refrain from disturbing him during his working hours to avoid being blocked by him.
As a result, many first-floor members, upon learning that Gilgamel had been in the castle for three days, immediately went to visit him and place orders for potions.
Actually, the potions they ordered were not rare and expensive. However, almost all the members who came to him were his acquaintances and were familiar with the quality of the potions and the friendly prices he provided.
Gilgamel reclined on the sofa, exhausted after completing the daunting task of making a hundred potions in three days. Luckily, his extensive experience and appraisal ability assisted him greatly during the potion-making process.
Gilgamel wanted to sleep, but he had to deliver the potions to their owners. Since they had already placed their bids in advance, he didn't need to hand over these potions in person.
He walked toward the door and opened it, only to see a long corridor shrouded in darkness. Then he clapped his hands twice.
After a loud clapping sound echoed through the corridor, the sound of stamping feet followed. The lights in the corridor gradually turned on and revealed a tall female figure wearing a loose black robe, her face covered by a red veil. Her appearance was eerie and mysterious.
Finally, she stopped before Gilgamel without saying anything.
"Sister Night, could you please help me by sending some potions?" Gilgamel asked. He then took out a storage item and explained, "I have organized the potions into different boxes, and each box is labeled with the recipient's name and room address."
"Sister Night" accepted the storage item and left without saying anything.
Gilgamel was used in this scene.
The woman just now was a Servant of Night.
The "Servants of Nights" are special attendants of the Owls. They work exclusively within the Owl Castle and are not permitted to leave.
Their primary responsibility is to upkeep all the facilities within the castle to ensure they continue running smoothly. Additionally, they are tasked with catering to the needs of the castle's occupants.
Even though they are servants and can be given orders, they should not be disrespected or mistreated.
Once, a wizard tried to give an inappropriate order to one of the Servants of Nights and ended up paralyzed in bed for three months.
After that incident, no one dared to mistreat the Servants of Nights again.
The Servants of Nighs included both females and males, but their names, faces, strengths, and identities were concealed beneath their attire.
Gilgamel had many interactions with the female Servant of Nights earlier, and he even gave her the nickname "Sister Night."
Fifteen minutes later, Sister Night returned to Gilgamel's room to return the storage item.
After completing his work, Gilgamel finally collapsed onto the bed. He slept soundly until the sound of a barking dog woke him up. Gilgamel immediately leaped out of bed and rushed to the room where Dodo was sleeping.
Dodo woke up feeling lively and energetic. It was walking around in circles as if it were celebrating something. When it saw Gilgamel's figure, it immediately ran towards him.
Gilgamel knelt and caressed Dodo's neck, praising: "Good boy! You've really advanced to level 8!"
"Woof, woof~."
Upon hearing the praise, Dodo felt happy and immediately licked Gilgamel's cheek.
Gilgamel shoved Dodo's face in disgust and wiped the drool off. After some time, he said, "Since you're awake, let's go out. I haven't opened my store for three days."
"Woof!"
Dodo nodded frantically.
It was hungry and wanted to eat a lot.
Gilgamel led Dodo out of his room and out of the Dormitory.
The dining schedule in the cafeteria was strict, with only breakfast, lunch, and dinner being served. As a result, if the members wanted to eat outside of these meal times, they had to go outside the castle and find food at stalls or restaurants.
At this moment, lunchtime had already passed. Gilgamel and Dodo could only find food in the Evernight City.
***
Inside Gil's Appraisal Room, various types of food were laid out on the table. Gilgamel and Dodo unceremoniously feasted upon them while Medelien observed from the side.
"Look, I cooked all of these foods for you, and I even closed my stall early to deliver them to you. I have shown my sincerity. Can you forgive me now?"
Gilgamel wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and then said, "Is that what you call sincerity? Do you think that one treat is enough to wash away your sin?"
"What sin? You're exaggerating, Gil! I was just drunk and couldn't control my mouth!" Medelien angrily said.
"Thanks to your big mouth, everyone knows the clue to the First Trial. And thanks to that, our only advantage is gone now. Do you understand what kind of sin you've made? Therefore, I demand a month of food delivery treats from you!" Gilgamel said as he raised his five fingers.
"A month of food delivery?! Gilgamel, I don't have that much free time to spoil you!" Medelien exclaimed in disagreement.
Cooking food for free is one thing; delivering is another. After all, her food stall would be affected if she disappeared from time to time.
Gilgamel shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said, "That's why I suggested you hire some people for your stall."
"This..." Medelien revealed a hesitant face as she said, "Hiring people will cost me a lot of money."
Gilgamel's eyes widened in bewilderment, and he admonished: "You are so short-sighted! Besides, you earn a lot of money every day; hiring people won't make you bankrupt! Mel, aren't you being too cheapskate?"
Medelien crossed her arms, pouted, and said: "What do you know? I'm saving money to buy a building for my restaurant!"
Gilgamel was stunned. He was about to say something, but the sound of the doorbell suddenly interrupted him.
The two people and one dog in the room simultaneously turned towards the door and saw a familiar young man walk in with a nervous face.
"Excuse me... have I come at the wrong time?"
