Chapter 295 - 50 Methods
He Li quickly delivered the goods to the storehouse of Raoxue Castle and left without exchanging a word with Lu Hong, apparently considering Lu Hong unworthy of his conversation. Of course, Lu Hong wasn’t keen to interact with him either, noting everything in his little notebook, and planning to beat him up once he regained his strength.
"Back already?" The old steward Gui Sheng seemed to have heard some noise and hurried to the storehouse, looking at He Li who was leaving he asked, "Did Kaif help you with purchasing the goods?"
"Yes."
Seeing Lu Hong nodding, the old steward rubbed his fingers together with a sly smile, as if to say, "Shouldn’t you..."
That greedy old man!
Lu Hong didn’t care much about a few silver coins and took them out to give to him, "Here, take these."
"Not bad, quite appreciative." The old steward’s smile grew as he took the silver coins and cheerfully continued, "The young lady seems to have gotten injured a bit. Go to the second cabinet in the third row of the alchemy room, and fetch a magic potion for her recovery."
"Oh, sure." Following the old steward’s instructions, Lu Hong headed into the pitch-black fortress. Truthfully, Raoxue Castle was huge, and with only three residents including Lu Hong, most areas were always idle, like the alchemy room Lu Hong was heading to, where the spiraling staircase was old and creaky. Each step squeaked, occasionally startling the small animals lurking around, like rats maybe?
Lighting a lantern, Lu Hong reached the door of the alchemy room, and with a gentle push, the door collapsed onto the ground, stirring up a noseful of dust.
Brushing away cobwebs, was there even a need for the steward’s instructions? This row of shelves had only one vial of magic potion left.
