Rein returned to the service window, waiting for the clerical girl to help him record.
During this idle moment, he flipped through the exchange book again.
When he saw the category of potions, he paused, randomly picking one to read.
…
Huge Strength Potion: A battle potion. After consumption, there’s a high probability that the consumer’s strength will increase by about 10 to 20 percent for a short time. The duration and effect vary greatly depending on the consumer’s constitution and the extent to which limits are broken.
(Note: Side effects include muscle soreness, lasting for hours of varying lengths.)
…
Constitution Potion: A cultivation-assist potion. If consumed continuously for a week, it will increase the consumer’s constitution to a certain degree, generally around 10 percent.
(Note: Sourced from the Mingster Province branch of the Royal Alchemist Association, trustworthy.)
…
It seems that the profession of a pharmacist really is coveted everywhere.
Immediately, Rein thought of the formulas in the “Beast Taming Diary.”
He already had the Transcendent profession of a Wizard Apprentice, and now he was already trying to produce the formulas from the “Beast Taming Diary.”
The only issue now was sourcing the raw materials.
It seems he will have to ask Lady Crowley, Baroness, about the location of the “Bat Market” later.
As long as the materials are ready, it shouldn’t be too difficult for him to advance in potion making.
As Rein continued to flip through the book, he saw the entry for ferocious beast meat.
He quickly came across the berserk bear meat he had eaten once before.
…..
Berserk Bear Meat: Ferocious beast meat, rich in energy. Long-term consumption can slightly enhance constitution and strength.
….
Although Hamilton had once advised Rein not to exchange for ferocious beast meat, Rein thought it over and decided that the situation is different now.
After weighing his options, Rein said to the ponytailed clerical girl, “Another hundred pounds of berserk bear meat, please.”
“Okay, a hundred pounds of berserk bear meat will need 50 Merit Points, which I’ve deducted for you.”
“Sir, would you like the hundred pounds of berserk bear meat delivered to your home, or will you be taking it with you now?” the ponytailed clerical girl asked.
This was when having a carriage came in handy.
“I’ll take it with me now.”
“Very well, sir.”
After this trip, Rein was left with only 39 Merit Points, essentially ‘back to square one.’
—————–
When Rein left the armory, he had already changed into a brand-new set of chromium-iron knight plate armor in the changing room.
The silver-grey armor was naturally much better looking than his previous plate mail.
The hundred pounds of berserk bear meat and the plate mail were placed directly onto the carriage by Rein.
When Rein returned to the Crowley family estate, as soon as he entered, he ran into Jenny and her best friend Agatha.
Their beautiful eyes lit up instantly upon seeing him.
“Lord Rein, you look so dashing in your new knight’s armor!” Jenny couldn’t help but compliment.
“Thank you!” Hearing the maiden’s praise, Rein naturally felt good.
“By the way, Lord Rein, this is my best friend Agatha Wiggins, daughter of Baron Wiggins,” Jenny introduced.
“Agatha, I don’t need to introduce Lord Rein to you, do I? You’ve already seen his impressive figure at the training ground this morning,” Jenny said with a smile.
“Miss Agatha, hello,” Rein greeted with a smile.
The Miss Agatha before him had some freckles on her nose, but they didn’t detract from her beauty; instead, they gave her a lively and cheerful appearance.
“Lord Rein, hello,” Agatha said, her cheeks slightly flushed as she gave Rein a curtsy. Enjoy more content from mvl
“Actually, Lord Rein, about that ‘Bat Market’ you asked me about last time, it seems my best friend here knows where it is,” Jenny mentioned.
“Oh? Really? That’s great!” Rein’s brow lifted in delight.
However, reconsidering, Rein took another careful look at Jenny’s best friend and realized… she might not be just a simple noble lady.
Just as Rein was making his guesses, Agatha quickly waved her hands to deny, saying, “Lord Rein, don’t listen to Jenny’s nonsense. I just think I’ve heard of this place before.”
“I heard my advisor mention the ‘Bat Market’ by chance; it seems to be near the Frank Tavern in the County Town. However, I’m not too sure of the exact location,” Agatha added.
“Miss Agatha, your modesty is appreciated, but even this helps me a great deal,” Rein realized. So that was it.
Just a moment ago, he thought Miss Agatha might be a ‘fellow traveler.’
Now, it seems that she is not.
“Lord Rein, would you like me to inquire further to get more details?” Agatha’s large watery eyes looked at Rein inquiringly.
“Thank you, Miss Agatha, but there’s no need to trouble yourself. I believe that now that I’ve a rough idea of the location, I should be able to find it,” Rein politely declined.
After all, his spiritual power had reached 17 points by now, making his senses incredibly sharp.
If he narrowed down the location to a few hundred meters around Frank Tavern, Rein believed there was a high chance he could find it.
“Lord Rein, why don’t we accompany you?”
Rein naturally declined, “Miss Jenny, the ‘Bat Market’ is not a place suitable for noble ladies to visit, and I am merely curious and wish to see it for myself.”
Hearing Rein’s response, both Jenny and Agatha appeared somewhat disappointed.
Therefore, after agreeing to return before evening, Rein donned a wide black cloak and rode in Crowley family’s carriage toward Frank Tavern.
