Chapter 341 – Immortal Elixir (2)
First, I need to get the most important elixir.
Thinking so, I headed to Sargadis’s house with Veronica.
─Paaaaa!
The method of movement is, of course,
“Hello bitch?”
“Feel free. (Hi.)”
Far from losing weight even after leaving the house for a long time, he was a bitchy cat in my house who was chubby. Do you have these bastard subordinates rob a fish shop anywhere?
“Is there anything special around you?”
“Nyan-neun-nyang~. (No~.)”
I first checked the CCTV. It’s crazy.
In spite of this, I also hid the real camera I got from Ulster Village near the wall of the house. I neglected it for a few days and it grew. It’s very fucked up.
Of course, at first, I thought that if I brought this camera, I could use it for taking evidence. In other words, it is the side of the other world I want to know.
However, if the other side dismisses it as manipulation, it eventually boils down to a power struggle.
Even in the 21st century, the courts were genetically innocent.
It may not be clear evidence that cannot be escaped, but video evidence that is not common in another world is useless.
“My dear. Brought it.”
“Thank you.”
Veronica brought 2 bottles of elixir from the underground warehouse in a box.
We have 3 elixirs.
Originally, there were 4 bottles when I first got it from the underground tower. I gave half a bottle of it to the team that Dana had hired, and I used the other half to treat the wounds inflicted by Yerna Si8.
‘That’s why I have 3 bottles now.’
However, considering that I might get an injury that Dana’s heel can’t fix while working, I want to save one bottle.
As it is difficult to sell without an auction like this, I had to think that even if I dealt with it as much as possible, the amount I could sell was two bottles.
That was the sales plan we had in the beginning.
‘I don’t know what will happen in reality, but two bottles won’t be enough.’
The rumor that the elixir is coming out must have flowed from the Hermaion Guild.
Maybe it was from the mouths of the escorts who were exploring together at the time.
‘Anyway, it’s not a loss because the expectations have been raised.’
We take the elixir and return to Lenapolis before anyone finds out.
The place to go now is the Hermaion Guild Master’s mansion.
You can give him the letter of introduction you got from Selena. It was conspicuous that they were rushing by, so I put the elixir in my bag to hide it, and decided to visit it alone with Dana.
“Senior~. Why are you Dana’s sister? To be honest, wouldn’t I, who suffered through the insect hell together, be more qualified!”
“Lord Luke Regens has also come to Lenapolis. What if rumors spread that you are here?”
“Sheesh.”
Lalilura grumbled as if she was regretful, but this time there was nothing she could do about it.
Speaking of this, I’m only thinking about it because I’m sorry for Rari-Lura, but when I think of my conversation with Alexandra, it doesn’t seem like it’s a bit much to go around the neighborhood talking about her many wives. Even if it is in this world.
‘Because there’s a difference between being proud and being shameless.’
It may be a virtue for the CEO of a company that sells adult products to take pride in his job.
But they show off their products even where they don’t have to? That’s a bit different from the story.
I’m not ashamed of having four wives, but I’m not trying to show off our family affairs. It seemed that it was necessary to specify moderately.
“It sucks. Four people with moderate specifications? Shall I put one person on each limb?”
“What the fuck? I couldn’t have imagined that Does the 5P imply you want to?”
“Take care of the disease as much as you can. No matter how good a restaurant is, it’s annoying to line up, so sit upright on the bed and wait?”
“I just need to slurp so fucking hard and rotate the table every 3 minutes? If you make it the right size for your guests’ mouths and mix it, you can digest it without multitasking.”
Traditionally, it was said that a first-class sushi chef would cook by calculating the size of the customer’s mouth.
It is a well-known fact that custom-made suits are the best. Wouldn’t it be nice to uselessly make a specification, saying it’s embarrassing?
“An ant-crazy yellowish bastard has a different idea. Are you having a quick eating contest with your wives, you bastard?”
“Kingchiman… Noona’s pussy, it’s cup noodles for 3 minutes…”
“Wow, this fucking bastard is real! Separate your sex and stick with your franc! Let’s see how long you can last if you compete with bare-handed technique!”
“No, do you have Dae-ri Lang there? Was my sister scared? Aren’t you sure you’ll win? If it sticks directly, pour it into boiling water and stir it a few times, and it’s obvious that the cooking will be done quickly, right?”
“… …”
“We don’t deny it. The right to remain silent cast is fucking hilarious. Are you imagining yourself just becoming Cup Noodles?”
“Seed… Foot… Fuckin’ bastard…”
Anyway, we arrived at the Hermaion family’s mansion on good terms, exchanging affection that is polite to do when we are alone with Dana.
It was said that it was a good company, but there was nothing wrong with it. To be honest, it looked bigger than Lady Hennesses’s house.
I don’t know how many bottles of elixir it would take to build a mansion like this.
〈What business did you come for?〉
Are there many people who visit the mansion directly? There was even a window in charge of receiving visitors at the front gate.
I said as I handed over the invitation.
‘Are you Nord? Yes. All right.〉
Now, like a salesperson out of business, I’m used to being rude to other people’s homes.
We were escorted to the drawing room with a free pass to see if the story had been heard.
“I heard that the lifesaver came to visit!”
Waiting time was less than 10 minutes. The young lady who appeared, shouting in fluent Britannia, was the same as before, except that she was wearing a neat dress.
I stood up with Dana and shook hands.
“It’s been a while, Miss Selena. You didn’t invite me directly to the mansion, so I’m sorry to see you like this.”
“No, no! You are always welcome!”
Selena even took my handshake off her gloves.
From my point of view, a 21st-century earthling, it felt like even the courtesy of such private movements was causing tension on this side.
As if I came to a fancy department store, I feel like I’m interested in even the way I dress.
“On the contrary, it was a pity that you did not come to see me sooner! There was a grand year-end party just a few days ago, so it would be nice if you could come and shine!”
Haha. That’s really unfortunate.”
I’m sorry, I’m not sorry at all.
I turned on the social life switch. After gilding each other’s faces appropriately, we were finally able to sit comfortably in our seats. I already want to go home.
“Is it because of the elixir sales that you visited the mansion like this?”
“Yes. Rumors are already circulating on the street, so you can’t not sell it, can you?”
I was thinking of responding moderately, but Selena lowered her head as if she was sorry.
“Ah… Sorry. It is my negligence. The news of the product is leaking in advance…”
“Oh, no. Rather, I’m glad that expectations were raised. Thanks to those rumors, I was able to hear the news that the elixir was running low, so it was a good opportunity.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
Selena explained while demonstrating the skills of a merchant, in a sense, that even if he just said it quietly, it was conveyed that he was sorry.
“Fortunately for Mr. Nord and our guild, the quality of the Elixir currently being supplied to Romania has declined overall. It’s not a coincidence, it’s a combination of several factors.”
“A factor?”
“First of all, the Elixir craftsman who secretly passed on the recipe must have died of a chronic disease. I left behind the successors properly, but as my career is a bit lacking, I can’t show the skills of my predecessors.”
Selena raises her long index finger.
“Then… Ah.”
Dana reflexively tried to say something but kept her mouth shut, but I gestured as if it was okay.
Old-fashioned masochism, such as “The man is talking and the woman is not interfering,” Runs counter to my attention. It’s not like there’s anything wrong with the manners of this place.
After checking the atmosphere for a moment, Dana cleared her throat and asked.
“Then did the supply itself decrease?”
“Yeah. Exactly. As for potions, one bottle of perfect quality is worth more than two bottles of poor quality. If you want to adjust the quality, just dilute it.”
In other words, the recovery item that can heal 1000 HP was cut, so the recovery amount was reduced to 700.
As the amount of potions increases, the loss rate increases. It’s a 2:3 ratio compared to the original quality. It is similar to the increase in the specific gravity of nitrogen in cookies.
“And on top of that bad news, it’s a situation where you can see that high-quality elixirs are being purchased in large quantities from somewhere. Dismuke?”
“Yes, lady.”
When the butler, who was standing like a man, held out the papers, Selena handed them over and showed them to us.
“As you can see, it is true that the original Elixir has low transaction volume. Not because it’s expensive, but because the ingredients are precious. However, I can think of two cases where it is not distributed on the market to this extent.”
“Hoarding, or attrition.”
Selena opened and closed her mouth.
It’s an expression of satisfaction for some reason, but anyone can understand this when watching the hoarding parasites play with the limited amount of cash items in K-RPG.
“Yes, that’s right. If it’s hoarding, it’s annoying, but it’s not really a problem. But.”
“… If you are consuming it, this auction will reveal the identity of the person sweeping the market.”
As if he was waiting for an answer, he encouraged his luck, so he responded.
“A hoarder won’t block the distribution of just two bottles at a huge loss, but ‘someone who needs high quality’ will definitely get this. If it is enough to cause a shortage, it is obvious that it will not be enough even if you use it.”
As I tapped on the box of elixirs, Selena clapped her hands, her eyes glowing.
“Yes, that’s it!! I can talk!!”
“I will take it as a compliment and appreciate it.”
I answered roughly and was lost in thought.
‘It’s going to be a bit annoying to talk about this.’
The reason Catherine wanted me to contact the Hermaion Guild was because this auction greatly intervened in the city’s influence.
Naturally, the Lords of Lenapolis will also appear here. It was my job to find out what the bigot, Mr. Diavolo, was interested in.
After that, there is a high possibility that it will be the work of the phantom thief sisters.
‘It’s quite possible to attend the auction house on the pretext of the elixir and invitation.’
Until then, you will have to be self-respecting. As long as I’m collecting information by sending Catherine right now, I’m also in the middle.
“… Okay. Then, if you could teach me a little how to enter the auction this time——”
-Smart.
It was when I tried to get lucky like that. Someone knocked on the door we were in, and Selena’s eyebrows rose in a V shape when I stopped talking.
〈… What happened? Am I having a chat with an honored guest?〉
‘I’m sorry, miss. However, he is a difficult guest to wait on our own…〉
Even though his voice was slightly angry, the butler did not back down.
That means you’ll be at least aristocratic.
“… Excuse me. Because my father is not here right now.”
“Nope. I understand.”
“Yeah. Really sorry.”
Selena took one look at us and as she walked outside the door she asked.
‘No one else would have been looking for me today. Did you ask what kind of person you are?
〈… Senate.〉
Selena moans very softly. Speaking of the current Senate family, she is a name that even Hermaion guild leaders cannot ignore. If it’s her daughter, Selena, she should immediately run out and respond instead.
But it wouldn’t fit her credo to leave us what she considers lifesavers.
Feeling sorry for Selena, who didn’t even dare to glance at me, I shrugged her shoulders.
“It doesn’t matter if you go.”
“No, but…”
“It will probably be fine. If my prediction is correct, someone from that family might come here if I say, ‘The elixir seller is here.'”
“Seller of Elixir… ? Ah!”
Selena quickly realized her and straightened her face.
“I’ll be right back! If I’m late, I’ll apologize!”
“Yes. Please go.”
After seeing Selena off, Dana and I poured her tea into the teacup and waited. Because there was nothing to wonder who she was.
Primor cut off his finger to remove the ring cursed by the warlock.
‘And the high-quality elixir is a potion that has the effect of regenerating lost parts.’
It was like reversing the process from the answer, so my prediction was exactly right.
A few minutes later, a face I knew came to the drawing room.
〈… Hello. Nord.〉
The lion of the Senate family bowed respectfully.
He was a person who looked much better in a light suit than assault spears or armor.
