Unlike Joana's shabby looking store, the one in front of them was actually decent with an ancient and old feel to it due to the vines and trees surrounding the shop.
Joana directly opened the door and went inside while Ban and George still followed closely behind her.
Ban observed the shop after he ca inside. And just like Joana's shope, there were also items displayed inside the row glass cases but instead of weapons, what was displayed inside was herbs and vials or bottles of dicine with various effects. Of course, just like Joana's weapons and armors, they were also quite pricey in Ban's perspective.
Ban did not dare to touch any glass as he was afraid that he might accidentally trip it over and end up breaking the glass as well as the herb or vial inside it.
George also understood those things and unlike Ban who observed every glass case, he only stared at them in the distance, even going as far as staying still, just so he would not trip over a glass.
"Carn! Are you here?" Joana shouted after waiting for a minute and yet the shop owner was still not present to assist them.
Hearing no response, Joana thought that she might not be around at the mont. However, she then recalled that Carn might just be pranking her or she might be concocting a dicine at the mont. However, considering the ti,she thought that the latter has a lower chance of happening than the forr.
"Carn, I have Red Hermit Termite's available here. If you don't want it,I'll just deliver this to Rendal and let him make two accessories out of it." Joana shouted as if she was already sure that soone would respond.
And in fact, she was not wrong as at the next mont, they could clearly hear rapid footsteps from the inner part of the store.
Soti later, a woman with black ssy hair and dark eye bags, wearing a white coat appeared in front of them. And contrary to her tired appearance, her voice was actually very energetic. "Is what you said true? Let buy at least one of it please, you would only be wasting resources if you give it to Rendal. By his barbaric ways of doing things, I'm a hundred percent sure that at least half of the material's effects would be lost."
She spoke rapidly that she did not even notice that Joana had already released a fist towards her head.
Bam!
A small sound echoed as the girl nad Carn, rubbed her painful head. "What was that for?" She asked.
"What do you an what was that for? Why did you try to hide from ?" Joana answered with a reprimanding tone.
Carn did not talk back anymore as she acted as if nothing had happened. "Where's the Red Hermite Termite's eyes?"
""In here." Joana stated while pointing at the Preservation Box on her hand.
Seeing the Preservation Box, Carn's eyes almost went wide in surprise. "Open it! Open it now!"
She eagerly requested with a puppy eye towards Joana.
However, Joana ignored her flatly as she said, "Before that, let introduce you to Mr. Leon first. He's the one who brought these two Red Hermit Termite's eyes as well."
Upon hearing her, Carn's eyes couldn't help but go into a heart shape after knowing that it was this Mr. Leon who sold a precious material just like that as if it was nothing.
"Mr. Leon, this is the Alchemist friend that I was talking about, her na's Carn."
Carn extended her hand for a handshake while saying, "Nice to et you, Mr. Leon. Thank you for selling the precious material to us, it would surely be put in a big role during this upcoming Beast Tide."
Ban received her hand and shook it before nodding his head in response. And right after their two hands parted, Carn suddenly inquired, "Mr. Leon, do you perhaps have another set of those Eyes? I'm willing to pay double its usual price if you still have so in your possession."
"Unfortunately, No!" Ban replied calmly.
"I see! What a sha!" She said in a dejected tone before turning towards Joana again.
"Let see the eyes now!" She said eagerly towards Joana.
"Don't worry, one of these will be yours so just focus on assisting Mr. Leon first."
Joana then added after turning towards Ban. "What kind of herb are you searching for again, Mr. Leon?"
"Glass Ginger, and I need one with an age of 2 years old."
"I see, it's perfect then. I do have a Glass Ginger at the mont and it's also at 2 years old." Carn said with a nod.
"Wait a mont, I'll harvest it." She added before turning around to harvest the 2 years old glass ginger.
Usually, the price of an herb will depend on how old the herb was before it got harvested. After all, an older herb ans that it's effect is more potent compared to the younger ones.
Of course, it doesn't really imply that an older herb will be the most effective one. After all, if sohow one uses an herb that is too potent for the patient to handle, the patient might have a higher chance of dying rather than getting cured by an overly potent herb.
The Almighty Summoner System clearly stated that he needs a 2 year old Glass Ginger, so he will follow it strictly. After all, at the end of the day, it is still for his own well-being.
Soti later, Carn finally returned with the Glass Ginger on her hand. There was still so soil that was stuck on the Glass Ginger, a clear sign that it just got harvested, just like what Carn stated.
Carn approached Ban and said, "Where's your Preservation Box?"
"I don't have one!" Ban stated calmly.
"Huih!? Then how will you preserve it if you don't have any Preservation Box?" Carn scrutinized her brow in confusion. For a mont, she was even reconsidering whether she should still sell the herb or not. After all, she doesn't want any materials to get wasted on the wrong person.
