Chapter 86: (2)


    [Its a shame! There are so many wonderful items, but they arent suitable for you, Kaiyan.]


    Its okay. Ive already found one.


    After wandering and inspecting most of the shelves, they approached thest one.


    [Oh, lets go to that shelf!]


    Rieka pointed to the final shelf, and as they approached, an item with an incredibly powerful energy presence was revealed.


    Whats this?


    A magnificent golden chalice, presumably made of gold, contained an unknown, glowing yellow substance.


    [Its dragons blood! Also known as Dragons Elixir! Its amazing to see this here!]


    Dragons blood?


    Oh! Kaiyan, you know about dragons blood! Haha! This is a treasure we acquired with great effort.


    Judging by Marlon and Riekas reactions, it seemed that the yellow liquid was indeed dragons blood. However


    Is there such a thing as actual dragons? I always thought they were creatures from legends.


    Haha Honestly, I thought the same until I saw this dragons blood. But many appraisers have confirmed that it is indeed the blood of a dragon mentioned in history.


    So, dragons existed as actual creatures. If what was written in books was true, they were massive beings that could fly in the sky and destroy entire cities with their breath.


    Lukuba Merchants are truly remarkable.


    Haha! Its all thanks to our Lord.


    How much is this item? Or rather, is it even for sale?


    We dont sell this item. Well, to be precise, we do sell it, but we dont sell it for money. Its a special item with instructions from our Lord.


    So, what do you exchange it for?


    Its,


    Marlons triumphant expression from earlier turned rigid.


    Our Lords special instruction is to exchange it for an elixir that was supposedly created in ancient times.


    An elixir? Is it the 1,000G elixir I have? Kaiyan thought.


    With joy and amazement that he could obtain Dragons Blood, Kaiyan was about to speak when Malon let out a sigh.


    Phew This is really unbelievable. An elixir is not something less reliable than a dragon. Moreover, if someone brings an elixir, it could be a problem.


    Why do you say that?


    Well, isnt it obvious? If the elixir can truly heal everything as the stories say, then how many people would be after it? It might not only be the Kingdom but also the Empire and other kingdoms. Wars could break out over the elixir as soon as this fact bes known.


    Listening to Malons words, Kaiyan realized it was not a simple matter.


    There were diseases that even the so-called divine power couldnt cure and people whom it couldnt heal. But the elixir had the effect of surpassing all that, returning the user to their peak state.


    Indeed, how many people would covet such an item?


    Especially those privileged upper echelons would be worse. They were embodiments of greed, willing to sacrifice thousands or even tens of thousands ofmoners to satisfy their desires.


    [Kaiyan, theres no need to obtain that item by sacrificing 1000G. It may be a good item, but its useless without a living dragon as its source.]


    When Kaiyans mind becameplicated, he heard Riekas pure voice, which made his head clear.


    Yeah, he didnt need the item right now. Besides, risking such danger just for it wasnt worth it.


    I understand. If I evere across the elixir, Ille to get Dragons Blood.


    Haha! Kaiyan, you can make jokes too.


    Well, Ive looked around enough, so Id like to leave.


    Sure, please follow me. Ill guide you.


    Following Malon, who walked ahead, Kaiyan turned his head and nced at Dragons Blood one more time.


    Dragons Blood, huh. If fate allows, it wille into my hands.


    **** ****


    In a room that wasvishly decorated beyond imagination for a merchants organization, Marien and a beautiful woman with violet hair were having a conversation.


    Upon receiving the transparent mask that Marien handed her, the beautiful woman examined it curiously and then spoke.


    So, Marien, the person who brought this item is named Kaiyan?


    Yes.


    Have you investigated?


    Yes, when he first entered Lukubas branch, he came through the 13th Gate. I asked the cksmiths, and they said he presented a mercenary badge.


    A mercenary? You mean this item was brought by a mere mercenary?


    The beautiful womans expression changed from surprise to interest. Then, she smiled as if she found it fascinating.


    Hes an interesting person. Id like to meet him sometime. I cant stand the curiosity about where he obtained such an item. Where is he now?


    Well When he left Lukubas branch, Marlon assigned two knights to follow him, but they lost him. I apologize, Princess.


    Surprisingly, Marien was addressing the woman with violet hair as a princess.


    Seeing Marien bow slightly, the princess frowned as if she didnt like it.


    I told you not to call me a princess! Call me Isabelle, Marien.


    I apologize, Isabelle.


    More importantly, he escaped? Hmm A mercenary eluded the knights pursuit.


    Isabelleughed as if it was alright and patted Mariens shoulder.


    Its alright. If hes capable of bringing such an item, hell return to Lukuba sooner orter. When that happens, Ill meet him in person.


    Yes, understood. Ill make sure to take appropriate measures.


    After Marien left the room, Isabelle smiled as she looked at the transparent mask.


    If fate allows, well meet.
