Chapter 1313: Ashen Fortress
Although Sein had facilitated the Golden Apple deal, he still volunteered to cover part of the cost.
It was not much—just five million magicoins, which happened to be slightly less than what Lorianne had contributed.
Together, Feylis’ apprentices and grand apprentices gathered thirty-seven million magicoins, but they were still thirty-three million short.
In the end, Feylis personally covered the rest without hesitation.
“A potion made with a Golden Apple as its core ingredient is easily one of the best recovery items in the entire Magus Alliance, but I’m not skilled enough to handle material of this caliber yet. It’ll be best to hand the Golden Apple over to a Rank Six apothecary to maximize its value...” Lorianne said meekly.
Before she could finish, Sein interrupted her.
“No. I think this Golden Apple should go to you, Master Lorianne. You should be the one to refine the potion.”
Apothecary and alchemy had one thing in common—they both burned through money at alarming rates.
Top-tier apothecaries and alchemists consumed vast amounts of precious materials for daily training in order to build up experience.
Talent was essential, but wealth was important too. In most cases, wealth outweighed talent entirely.
Lorianne hesitated, worried she might “waste” the Golden Apple. However, if she missed this chance, it could be ages before she ever got her hands on another top-tier treasure like it.
Since the Golden Apple had been acquired through Sein’s efforts, he had every right to decide how it would be used.
