Chapter 50: Purple Gold
As the bandit suppression date approached, Vaerik led several knights carrying two heavy chests, walking directly toward the magical marrow factory near the mining area, which was also the alchemical workshop.
This factory was built by Hilco and three newly arrived alchemical apprentices.
Calling it a factory was actually just several crude sheds, with alchemical equipment transported from the Southeastern Province placed around them.
Though conditions were crude, they were sufficient to give initial form to the magical marrow refining process.
"Lord, your timing is perfect." Hilco lazily leaned against a wooden post.
Since Crimson Tide Domain now had more talent, he didn’t need to be so busy. He looked more spirited than before, but still appeared lazy.
"The first batch of magical marrow has just been refined."
Hearing this, Vaerik immediately became interested, his gaze falling on a heavy wooden barrel.
The barrel was filled with deep purple powder, luster flowing slightly, looking fine and smooth, faintly transparent with traces of magical fluctuations.
Vaerik reached out to grab a bit—his fingertips felt extremely smooth texture. He couldn’t help but sigh and ask: "This is magical marrow?"
"Correct." Hilco reached out and patted the wooden barrel. "This barrel is worth at least fifty gold coins at market price."
