My bloodline is so eager to improve.

Any of these could attract Entana's attention.

At this point, Eileen solemnly warned Xing Shu...

"The Stigmata Order claims that all the pain and disease in the world are trials of the goddess."

Only those who overcome trials and adapt to adversity have the chance to receive the goddess's blessing.

Of course, that's assuming you survive.

My advice is to prepare potions.

As Eileen spoke, she took out several potions from her spatial pocket.

She was showing the potion to the cunning and ruthless woman.

"I have seen too many adventurers who were watched over by the goddess Enthana die in trials called disease and trauma."

Adventurers must learn to protect themselves.

Sometimes, your partners simply can't provide you with timely treatment.

Therefore, the best solution is a magic potion.

Eileen solemnly pushed the potion towards the side, saying it was hard to explain.

"These potions were concocted by the Adventurers' Guild in collaboration with various temples and powerful mages."

There are potions that restore physical strength, as well as magic potions that can purify a small amount of curses.

Simply pull out the plug and apply it to the wound.

If you encounter a curse that invades your body, you can drink it to buy time!

With Eileen's explanation, Otto finally understood the essence of these courses.

To put it bluntly, it's just about selling products!

Otto was not interested in these potions.

Although he now holds three large sums of money from King Thorn, he doesn't dare to spend a single penny recklessly.

As for Otto's animal friends, the beasts were still besieging the Magic Ape and had no time to pay attention to him.

This also gave Otto a rare moment of leisure.

After rejecting Eileen's sales pitch, Otto immediately planned to leave.

The troubles at the Adventurers' Guild are over; now it's time to check on how the monster report from Maika is going.

If possible, Otto hopes to go to Una's workshop as soon as possible to finalize the commission for making the Spatial Pocket.

With that thought in mind, Otto left the house and began searching for Michael.

Michaela's distinctive loud voice is very recognizable.

Otto found Michael and Phyllis in the corner room without much trouble.

When Michael saw Otto, he immediately greeted him.

"How many of the potions and items did you buy?"

"I didn't buy a single item!"

Upon hearing this, Maika revealed a smug expression.

"Very good, as expected of the adventurers I trained."

Clearly, Michael already knew about the Adventurers' Guild's little tricks during class.

This is a lesson that novice adventurers need to learn.

They need to know that even guilds sometimes scheme against their own adventurers.

But Phyllis, as a member of the guild, could not condone such thoughts.

She immediately defended the guild.

"However, although the Adventurers' Guild's items and potions are overpriced, their quality is indeed outstanding among similar products."

Novice adventurers who don't have any connections can buy some spares.

The inflated portion is merely a guarantee of safety.

Upon hearing this, Maika did not refute it, but simply waved his hand.

“Young lady, what you said is indeed true, but as the captain of the Dragonbreaker Blade team, I still have some connections.”

Getting good quality materials at a relatively low price is not a problem for me.

The issues that novice adventurers need to consider are not really important to Michael. If Otto needs them, Michael can take care of them directly. There's no need to buy expensive potions from the Adventurers' Guild.

“Perfect timing. We’ve almost finished here. I’ll take you to Una’s workshop and see if she can wholesale some cheap and effective potions for our adventure.”

After saying this, Michael immediately bid farewell to Phyllis.

The two of them left the Adventurers' Guild with the lump formed by the vine.

However, looking at the lump in front of him, Otto still asked Michael curiously what its value was.

But the result was somewhat unexpected for Otto.

"Based on my and Phyllis's research, the vine monsters we encountered are very likely products of the mutated Black Water Vine."

During the mutation process, the Blackwater Vine, which originally only attacked trees, developed an extreme craving for flesh and blood, which is what caused the trouble in the Blackthorn Forest.

Let's tentatively name this monster the Carnivorous Vine.

As for the clumps formed by the carnivorous vine, Phyllis estimated their value at four silver Thorns.

It can be used as the core of a staff or as an ingredient in potions.

I imagine the monks would be quite interested in this."

After finishing speaking, Maika immediately returned the fragment to Otto, instructing him to give it to Una later.

With this piece in existence, perhaps the witch would grant Otto's request.

However, besides that, Maika also talked about the Blackthorn Forest.

Phyllis has already reported this matter.

The Adventurers' Guild will soon issue a commission for Blackthorn Forest and Carnivorous Vine.

These kinds of monsters are not particularly powerful in their physical form, but if they are given the opportunity to develop, the consequences will be unimaginable.

We must explore the interior of the Blackthorn Forest as soon as possible to remove the threat of the flesh-eating vines.

At that time, a temporary adventurer's camp will probably be set up there.

We need to prepare as soon as possible so we can make a fortune!

Maika also needs money recently, so he naturally plans to respond to the guild's call.

However, when it came to money, Maika immediately looked at Otto, intending to settle accounts with him.

"Don't forget, living in the forging workshop also has its expenses."

In addition, this leather armor is also considered a rental to you.

Because of the detours we took when raising that big guy, because Michael doesn't intend to provide this help for free.

The dwarf had already told Otto this when they first contacted him.

However, the dwarves did not make things difficult for Otto. The cost of lodging and the daily rental of leather armor totaled two copper Thorns.

For Otto now, it's not a big problem.

The two of them dealt with these trivial matters while hurrying to Una's workshop.

By the time we arrived at the workshop, it was already noon.

Michael still didn't pay attention to the warning slips of paper, just grabbed one at random and said something to it.

Tell Una that I need to speak with her.

Having said that, Michael immediately threw the piece of paper in his hand, letting it fly back into the mansion.

Before long, Una's rabbit doll opened the door.

“Michael, I’ve told you so many times, don’t use my alarm device as a doorbell!”

The rabbit doll was extremely annoyed. It strode over to Maika's side, intending to teach the dwarf a lesson.

But just then, the rabbit doll suddenly stopped. It saw the lump in Otto's hand and asked curiously.

"What is this?"

Chapter Thirty-Five: Bargaining

The rabbit doll, carrying Una's will, asked Otto the question that had been nagging at her.

"I felt a powerful magical aura."

However, this thing is incomplete, and it seems to have been tainted by some kind of evil aura.

"Is it material for monsters?"

Is she really worthy of being called a witch?

Una glanced at it and immediately revealed the truth about the lump.

But Michael stepped forward, separating Una and Otto, and simply pointed to the mansion, saying cheerfully.

"We have something important to ask you. Come in and talk."

Maika's first step was a success; the product of the mutated Black Water Vine did indeed attract Una's attention.

Michael was not surprised by this.

The monks explored the truth, and whether it was knowledge, experimentation, or rare materials, they cherished them all.

All they have to do is bring it here.

Once I've caught Wu Na's attention, I think I'll have a bargaining chip for future transactions.

Sure enough, after entering the mansion, the dwarf plopped down on Una's high-class sofa and began to state his demands.

“I hope you can make a space pocket for this kid.”

A capacity of at least ten standard cubic meters is required.

Runes that conceal one's aura should be installed inside.

As usual, I'll provide the lock cylinder runes; you just need to process them.

Upon hearing this, the rabbit doll immediately raised its eyebrows. It stretched out its right hand and gently tapped the table. A piece of parchment automatically unfolded, and ink gradually appeared.

The rabbit doll glanced at the calculated costs, then looked up at the dwarf again.

"Six Golden Thorns."

"Why don't you just go and rob it!"

After receiving the offer, Michael slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and his beard stood up high.

"When we partnered up to make the spatial pocket before, didn't we always use five Golden Thorns?"

However, Michael's rebuttal did not receive the response he deserved.

The rabbit doll only glanced at the vine cluster beside Otto before leisurely speaking.

"The price of potions used to make invisibility runes has recently gone up, so naturally, the price of spatial pockets will also go up."

However…

The rabbit doll looked into Otto's eyes again and smiled kindly.

"If you're willing to give me the materials for this monster as part of your payment, I'm willing to give you a discount."

At this moment, Wu Natu revealed her true intentions; what she wanted was precisely this mass of carnivorous vines.

Seeing this, Maika thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

This woman wants to acquire this material, but doesn't want to spend any money.

Thinking of this, Maika simply sat back down on the sofa, looking helpless.
