Chapter 329

[ Episode 329. Potion’s Hidden Peace]

After the small commotion, my party and I entered Potion Street as planned.



I could feel the strange nostalgia from the colorful smoke rising from everywhere and the familiar scent.

‘At first, I struggled with potions.’

Although he had grown to the point where he didn’t need to do that, he was still receiving help from potions.

“This is the area where potion masters gather. I am also staying here.”

“Does Horton make potions too?”

“yes. In fact, the title of an alchemist is more appropriate than a wizard.”

Horton smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.

“And compared to the potion Adrias-sama made, there are only results that are too poor.”

“You have to see that. Rather than that, what is the most famous shop here?”

“I will guide you right away. If you go back there, there is a shop of the Modrian School, which is the most recognized place.”

It was a name I hadn’t heard in a long time.

It was the school that I used as a reference when playing Lucia. In fact, it is a group of commercial wizards whose main focus is the study of potions rather than magic.

‘The place where the hidden piece is located is in a different place, but I have to start with Modrian.’

There were people to meet, and materials to properly use the hidden piece could only be obtained here.

“Look at that! It’s so big!”

The shop run by the Modrian school was by no means ordinary. It looked like a huge cauldron was placed on top of the building.

In addition, the liquid was bubbling in the pot, and it was actually one of the potions sold at the store.

“That’s ‘Modrian’s Cauldron’.”

Anyone who told me the name of the store could guess it was over there.

We entered a store that was about to collapse under the weight of a pot.

Hungry –

“There are a lot of people.”

Lucia muttered with a disgusted expression.

As Horton said, it was unavoidable because this store was the most famous in the potion district.

Besides, now that the festival is ahead, people are more crowded.

“That one......”

“It’s Luna Pendragon!”

And the crowd gathered immediately recognized Luna’s appearance.

“.......”

I glanced over at Luna’s reaction.

I’d be pretty stressed out if I got that kind of attention, but fortunately, Luna didn’t seem to mind.

‘I honestly don’t know.’

Are you familiar with this interest?

She was looking around the store, unconcerned.

“welcome. Is there something you are looking for?”

Just then, a clerk came out to greet us, and his eyes were on Luna.

“no. Let’s look around a bit.”

When I responded, the clerk looked at me with a questioning expression and then nodded.

“All right. Take it easy.”

As the clerk withdrew, Horton asked cautiously.

“I will step back for a while while you pick out the items.”

“Okay, I’ll call you when I’m done.”

After Horton stepped down, I started shopping in earnest. In the game, only the list of items was listed, but it felt fresh to actually look at the items.

“Look at this, senior. It was the first time I saw a burning flame in real life.”

Lucia was curious as she looked at the various potions. But what I’m looking for is not the finished product, but the ingredients for the potion.

‘found.’

In a place where only raw materials were collected separately, I picked up the ingredients I had in mind.

“Who is he, hanging out with Luna and Pendragon?”

“Are you the black magician of the coven? He wears a sword in an unusual way.”

“Don’t pretend to know me and let’s pass by. If you get into a fight, it’s a headache.”

Even in the middle of it, the surroundings were noisy, but I didn’t care and looked at the things.

There were rare materials that couldn’t be easily obtained outside, and the materials for the hidden piece seemed not uncommon, so I chose it without hesitation.

Took!

“hmm?”

Then I felt a hand grabbing my collar.

“Can I buy this?”

Luna was holding something in her hand with bright eyes.

“Yes, of course.”

“I have no money.”

“I will give it to you. Don’t worry, if there’s anything you want, pick all of them.”

“huh!”

But now that I checked, I picked something very strange. As far as I know, a potion with that label is something that emits fire from its mouth when eaten

.

no matter what

So, each person chose what to buy and stood at the checkout counter. As expected of a crowded store, there were a lot of staff, but I was able to pay quickly.

“A total of 6.78 million will.”

A lot came out It was the amount except Lucia’s choice.

“Here it is.”

“6.78 million Will confirmed.”

Seeing that, Horton wrapped his cheek and became restless, and Lucia shook her head.

“I know it’s a lot of money, but isn’t that too much of a waste?”

Luna was innocently looking around at the defective products except for the one I bought, with an expression that she liked anything.

“I got only 24 million for sure. Thank you, customer. Please visit us again next time.”

“......yes.”

When I received the money, I got goosebumps at the sudden change in attitude, but I ignored it and left the store.

“Adrias. Are you sure you’re okay? It’s really just a defective product....... Even now, I’ll go to old man Magul.......”

“It’s okay. Thank you for your consideration.”

If you bought it with 24 million will, it was rather cheap. You’re saying that no one knows what this thing is.

‘The first hidden piece found in Portrion.’

Its true identity is.......

[Broken Elixir]

[Death when taken]

[Can be made into ‘Elixir’ through additional processing.]

It was a legendary potion whose recipe was not properly known.

**

Elixir was the only hidden piece available outside Portion. I don’t know if there are actually more, but that’s all I know.

The remaining easter eggs and hidden pieces existed in the depths.

‘Time passed quickly.’

After getting the elixir, I looked around Portion for a while, and time passed quickly. There are many areas we haven’t explored yet, but now it’s time to go deeper.

“Good morning senior.”

Lucia, who somehow woke up on time, appeared on the first floor of the inn with a sleepy expression. And beside her, Luna with a lively expression was looking at me as if she would jump at any moment.

“friend!”

When Lucia told me the night before that the two of them were sleeping together, I was honestly worried.

I’ve been with Luna for a long time, and now I consider it family, but the public eye was one of the notorious black magicians.

“Did anything happen?”

“What is going on?”

Lucia asked back.

Looks like nothing happened Well, because he said he wanted to be with me first...

I had Luna shut down from before, so there was nothing to find out that I was a warlock.

She looks young, but she’s quite thoughtful, so you can trust her.

“Did you sleep well, friend? I slept after chatting!”

“I’m just grateful that I’m doing well with Lucia.”

“of course! I’m your sister! Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.”

Luna, who spoke with a triumphant expression, was cute.

Lucia, too, seemed to have given up halfway by now, so she didn’t respond much to the word that Luna was her older sister.

“I have to adjust to my sister.”

“no! I’ll match Lucia.”

Why are you fighting over there all of a sudden?

I checked the time while watching the battle of nerves that I couldn’t tell whether it was getting better or worse.

“It’s time to go soon.”

The depths have already been opened.

If you head to the invited place now, the Nivas Festival will begin in earnest.

“Can I go with you?”

“yes?”

I was taken aback by Luna’s question.

Weren’t you supposed to go together?

“no?”

My reaction made Luna’s eyes moisten.

“no. I was surprised to know that we were going together, of course. Would it be okay for Luna to go out with us?”

“huh!”

Luna, who had a bright expression again, nodded.

“My sister goes with me. Don’t be lost for nothing.”

“Can’t you get lost?”

“no. If I go alone, I will definitely be lost.”

Lucia extended her hand to Luna who was confused.

“Hold your hand tightly, sister.”

“huh.”

What’s up with Lucia?

It was the first time I had ever seen her care about others like that.

‘Does Luna’s cuteness penetrate Lucia’s indolence?’

Or did you become very close the night before?

It’s not easy to spread good rumors when you go out with Luna, but Lucia couldn’t be unaware of this fact.

Maybe he cares about me.

“Then let’s go.”

It didn’t matter if I went to the depths anyway.

It is a place where only Warlocks and their assistants gather.

It’s a haunt of lunatics who crave knowledge rather than prejudice against warlocks.

That is the true face of Portion.

We headed into the depths.
