As he approached the coastal city of Seren, Harris thought twice and made a decision that made him extremely "painful". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The middle-aged gentleman put the money bag in Ian's hand and said solemnly: "After we arrive in Seren, we will start to split up, and in five days, you will take Miss Olivia and her sisters to the Holy White City with the team of the Apothecary Guild as originally planned, and then we will meet again during the academic exchange meeting." ”

This proposal surprised the three people in the group, especially Ian, who could hardly believe that Harris would make such an "ungentlemanly" decision, and directly threw his hand and pressed the task of escorting the two ladies home on him. If it weren't for the fact that they had been staying together for the past few days, he would almost have thought that Harris in front of him had already changed someone.

It's just that our Mr. Harris was already mentally prepared for their reaction. As far as he is concerned, as long as he makes up his mind, there will be no hesitation or ink.

"In order for you to be able to win the potion competition, I need to complete the second guarantee. ”

"Second security?" Ian frowned. He'd heard Harris say "double insurance" when he was in Vic, and his instincts told him that there must be a secret hidden in it. He glanced at the mysterious and smug curvature on the corner of the other party's mouth, knowing that even if they asked now, the other party might not tell this "secret".

"I need to meet some old friends. Harris said: "But you can't let them know about my relationship with you, otherwise there will be some unnecessary trouble when the academic exchange meeting comes." ”

"Why?"

"When that happens, you'll know. Harris raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something interesting, and smiled very happily: "I will arrange some classes for you in the next few days, enough for you to study until the exchange begins." As long as you can complete the lessons I've prepared for you along the way, you'll be able to win even if someone makes things difficult for you as a sinner during the meeting. ”

Ian's eyes narrowed. Harris's words exuded a strong confidence, if another Potion Master said this, Ian would not feel anything unusual, but such affirmative words were spoken by Harris, he always felt that there was an indescribable strange taste in this confidence.

After a moment of silence, Ian, knowing that the other party had made a decision, raised his head and asked, "Where will we meet then?"

"You don't have to look for me. Harris smiled and shook his head, "When it's time to rendezvous, I'll go look for you." ”

"And—" He pointed to Ian's eyes and added, "Don't stare at me behind my back with 'eyes', I know how to hide from the night." ”

......

Serun is the most important coastal port in the Eastern Regions and the second largest city in the Eastern Regions.

The most important feature of this commercial city is that merchant ships are equal to war ships.

This may seem strange to some, but it is true here. Unlike the West Coast, which is protected by the Oracle Island, the East Coast is attacked by sea demons every few years, just like the tides on land. In order to guard against the attack of demons in the sea, each captain armed his "treasure" to the teeth, and in the event of a battle, he could directly travel with the army.

Fortunately, the shallow sea area along the coast is within the range of the Mental Elephant Sealing Array, and it is rare for a large number of demons to flow in during normal times, otherwise even if the Eastern Regions are well-known in the empire, the shipping industry between the east and west shores will not develop.

As soon as Ian entered the city, he found that the prices here were significantly higher than in other places, which made him wonder why Harris had parted ways with them. After settling the two ladies into a neat inn as a squire, he lifted his shoulder bag containing the potion and prepared to find a place to sell it.

Even if you no longer pursue the most exclusive enjoyment, financial situation is still a problem.

With five days to go before the Apothecary's team departed, he decided to use this time to save up enough money for the rest of the journey.

Coastal cities are more likely to have a disease that is known in the world as "red sac", and the symptoms of this disease are actually somewhat similar to "rheumatism" in Ian's opinion. He plans to sell the existing potions, and then buy some of the herbs that are lacking on hand, and configure some conventional potions and plasters that can treat the "red sac".

In the case of high market demand, this kind of medicine should allow him to save enough money.

Of course, he had to find a suitable buyer before the plan could be implemented.

The big shops don't accept the "unknown origin" stuff he has on hand, and he targets small pharmacies or grocery stores, which are usually privately opened, and Ian thinks that if the boss knows the goods, then as long as the price is negotiated, they will definitely accept it, and in fact, ...... When he hit a wall for the third time, he realized that he had taken it for granted.

He had forgotten to estimate the "negative" plus of his status as a sinner.

It gave him a lot of headaches.

When Harris was still there, because Harris came forward to solve all the communication problems, he was not exposed to some of the negative effects of being a sinner, but when Harris left, he suddenly realized that as a sinner, it was so difficult to go out, and even the owner of a grocery store blasted him out when he saw him step into the store.

This made Ian deeply realize that a lonely and helpless sinner, thinking that life in this kingdom may indeed require a "good temper".

The vast majority of merchants can accept sinners to buy in their shops because they don't have trouble with money. But if it were the other way around, none of them would want to buy what the sinners were selling, because they didn't believe what the sinners were bringing out. This is a very dire situation for Ian, and if the potions he makes can't be sold, then he should maintain his "livelihood"?

Do you want to go back and ask Olivia and Martina to sell the potion?

Are you kidding!

As soon as the idea arose, Ian threw it out of his head. With the idea of trying one last time, he casually found a slightly old-looking apothecary shop and pushed the door open.

She was greeted by a cute little girl who looked to be eleven or twelve years old and had two braids.

After seeing that it was a "customer" with black hair and black eyes, the greeting "Welcome" was stuck there halfway through.

Ian looked up and immediately noticed that the girl was involuntarily shivering the moment she made contact with his gaze, and she hid behind the counter, like a timid little animal.

Am I so scary?

For the first time since birth, Ian had doubts about his appearance.
