Chapter 150.2
“I wonder if I failed…”
Elena, her face hidden by a hood, muttered to herself as she walked down the street.
Even in the disorderly town of Cutlass, there was little danger on the main street during the daytime. Stalls selling simple meals, cloth and thread for making clothes, and other necessities of life were necessary if people were to live in the city.
Most of the stores were affiliated with one of the four factions, so the shopkeepers, who were paid a substantial sum of money as protection money, had a pale complexion, and few customers shopped at the high prices.
Many of them steal and rob to survive, and I nodded at Elena’s words as I drove away those who looked at us as prey with just a glance.
“Maybe. Still, there’s not much we can do.”
Selling potions was a way to get face time and money.
To get away from this town and into the Khalfaan empire, I needed to be accompanied by a merchant crew that knew the way well. To do so, he would build credit. Probably a lot of money would also be needed. For this purpose, I made an advanced potion with dessert ingredients that I learned from my master, who is a Dark Elf, but apparently the process is not common.
If it was an advanced potion that had not deteriorated, the importance of this one would increase. I dared to take the risk and decided to use it as a weapon, but that Kirli Trading Company man seemed more greedy than a merchant.
“Should we sell it directly to Hogloss Trading Company?”
“Kirli Trading Company is the one who distributes the potions to the Adventurers’ Guild. Selling a small amount, or even a large amount, would antagonize them either way.”
“Let’s hope Kirli Trading Company doesn’t do anything stupid just yet… Aria, what’s wrong?”
