34 Trading Potions (1/2)
”I would offer enough materials for thirty tries for one potion. It doesn't matter if it is the basic explosion potion, the basic wound mending potion or the basic strengthening potion.”
”Thirty? I am willing to offer fifty materials tries for one potion.”
”I only need the basic wound mending potion and the explosion potion, I would trade a couple of potions with a couple of Stone hounds which I have caught in the last couple of days.”
A sentence from the muscular woman stopped the haggling: ”I don't think we have the time to bid for any potions right now.” a short paused enhanced her sentence before she continued: ”However I would also love to trade with you Fraser, how about I show you the inner circle room at the outpost? We can trade in a couple of hours.”
Without even waiting for his response the muscular woman waved her hand and a similar dark ball which Magus Sept used in order to guide Fraser appeared.
Fraser nodded before following the dark ball which floated out of the room.
The floating dark ball leads Fraser to a room which was similar to the inner circle room at the Academy as it was filled with couches.
Thus Fraser sat down and started to wait.
Naturally in order to not waste his time Fraser commanded the AI:
'AI, notify me when the senior apprentices are coming into the room.'
After setting the AI to notify him when the senior apprentices would finish the meeting and come into the room Fraser started to meditate.
Fraser didn't need to wait that long, within one hour the first senior apprentice arrived. To Fraser's surprise, it was the white masked senior member who exchanged a few sentences with Fraser.
”So what for basic Potions do you have? Also while you are at it give me a price.” asked the white masked senior apprentice.
Instead of answering Emiums questions Fraser started to attempt doing small talk: ”Emium, it's been a long time. Have you fared well?”
”…”
”…”
”…”
An awkward silence filled the room as Emium didn't reply to Fraser's question.
The only thing stopping the silence is the sound of a door opening.
A couple of concealed senior apprentices walked into the room while asking the same questions as Emium, just with a different tone.
”Give me a price for the basic potions you are able to create.”
”State a price for the basic potions.”
”I hope you have a few basic potions which are useful.”
Surprised that every figure walking into the room would ask an individually question Fraser thought: 'Every single one of the senior apprentices is asking me for a price individually. Does that mean they are all going solo?'
As Fraser waited for a while the inner circle room got filled with more and more senior apprentices.
The last person to step into the inner circle room was the muscular woman who indirectly forced Fraser to introduce his basic potions.
”All interested are gathered, start with the trading. We will offer a price and you can either agree with it or not.” talked the muscular woman before crossing her arms.
