Chapter 51: Potions
“Of course!” the clerk replied, before scratching her head. “Although, I’m forced by Guild regulations to inform potential customers that the potions’ potency is rather limited.”
“So I’ve been told. But how limited are we talking about exactly?”
“Well, they work as advertised, but don’t expect any miracles on par with the elixirs.” she elaborated, before furrowing her brow. “Although I suppose they’ll be somewhat effective for you. No offense.”
Percy nodded.
“None taken. I’d like to have a look if it’s not too difficult.”
The clerk shrugged, before leading him to an adjacent room. She pressed her badge against a symbol on the wall, causing a different rune to light up on the ceiling, illuminating the place. It wasn’t a large room and – if the dust on the shelves was any indication – it was rarely used.
‘I guess nobody cares enough to inscribe self-cleaning runes in the potion room.’
“As you can imagine, not many of our alchemists bother brewing potions, and even fewer customers ever buy them. Still, we currently have four different varieties of sufficient quality to be approved for sale by the Guild.”
Seeing Percy remain silent, she continued.
