Chapter 149: The Wizard’s Reward

Leon smiled as he spoke, taking a piece of Prismatic Slime Jelly from his backpack and handing it to Rasmodius.
“Hmm, just what I needed. I didn’t expect you to get it so quickly. I thought I’d have to wait at least a week, maybe even a month.” Rasmodius accepted the Prismatic Slime Jelly and, with a wave of his hand, swept away all the rainwater clinging to Leon’s raincoat along with the mud on his pants.
“Come in. Since you’ve brought me the Prismatic Slime Jelly, it’s time I gave you the promised reward.”
Leon stepped into the Wizard’s Tower, watching as Rasmodius carried the jelly behind a section of wall and disappeared for over a minute. When he returned, he held two things.
“Here—5,000 gold. And here—an interesting potion recipe along with a finished product. Which will you take as your reward?”
In Rasmodius’s left hand was a thick stack of bills; in his right, a bottle of dark purple liquid with a sheet of purple paper pressed beneath it. Leon hesitated.
