Rodney said this.
Then he pulled out a burlap sack from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Jason.
"The century-old grave soil you need."
After speaking, Rodney handed over a newspaper to Jason.
"This is today's Tert Daily—Special Edition."
Jason received the century-old grave soil.
And the Tert Daily Special Edition?
He didn't even bother to look.
No need to look, Jason already knew what it said.
Nothing more than comnts on how ruthless and cold-blooded he was.
Taniel then picked up the newspaper and read it carefully.
This teacher from Deer Academy, Lorde's second advisor, hoped to find so useful information in it.
But to Taniel's disappointnt, it was all fabricated news.
Not a single bit of useful information.
And also!
Why was 'useless pharmacist' published in the newspaper?
Taniel looked at Rodney.
The latter imdiately shrugged.
"It's got nothing to do with , I didn't call you that, it's what everyone thinks!"
Rodney spoke frankly.
Taniel then took a deep breath, preventing himself from cursing.
Truly hurtful and insulting!
What does 'useless' an?
He knew thirty-eight recipes for 'universal redy', suitable for all age groups!
How could it be called 'useless'?
Simply nonsense!
"Lord Jason, the situation outside is dire."
Rodney continued speaking, with a solemn expression on his chubby face.
These words attracted the attention of all three present.
Under the watchful eyes of Jason, Taniel, and Matthew, Rodney spoke—
"Bounties!"
"That Prince Ruitai has offered a bounty of 10,000 Gold Crooks!"
"The Sewock royal family also offered a bounty of 10,000 Gold Crooks!"
"Moreover, the Sewock royal family promises to give a 'Herculean Potion': silver-grade, unrefined, if soone can capture you alive."
"What?!"
"There's even a 'Herculean Potion'?!"
"And it's unrefined?!"
Matthew exclaid.
"Yes, it should be a treasure of the Sewock royal family, previously stored as strategic resources."
"Now?"
"Sewock VII is dead, if it's not taken out soon, there's no need to take it out."
Rodney said disdainfully.
Not only was he unfavorable towards the Sewock royal family, but also because of such resource-hoarding behavior, which Rodney saw as foolish—the resources were already at a disadvantage, what was the point of hoarding them?
If not converted into strength, it would just be accumulating for others.
Like this ti, if Sewock VII had consud this 'silver Herculean Potion', he might still be alive.
"What about that Prince Ruitai?"
Jason asked.
Besides the bounty, the Sewock royal family made a promise.
That Prince Ruitai couldn't possibly do nothing.
After all, the show must be done in full.
"He promised to offer no less than 100ml of Dragon Blood."
Rodney answered.
When ntioning Dragon Blood, Rodney's tone was filled with longing, even more than for the 'Herculean Potion'.
Matthew shared the sa sentint.
Taniel was even more direct.
"100ml is enough to craft a Dragon Blood Potion, and if an ordinary person takes it, there's a great chance of becoming a 'Dragon Blood Technique'. If a Professional takes it, it might unlock a special profession, and even if not unlocked, it could grant 'Dragon Power', 'Dragon Scale Armor', 'Dragon's Swiftness', among several magic talents, or even 'Dragon Breath'."
Taniel said, then looked at Jason.
The implication seed to suggest that maybe they should surrender themselves to get that Dragon Blood first.
"Do you think if I surrender, I still have a chance to escape?"
"Moreover, even if I could escape."
"Do you think you can get those bounties?"
"The two of us are accomplices."
Jason saw through his friend's thoughts and rcilessly said.
"Mistake! Mistake!"
"Didn't consider these for a mont!"
"The main thing is that crafting a Dragon Blood Potion would allow to freely advance to the third tier 'Potion Expert' as a pharmacist."
Taniel laughed awkwardly.
"Who wouldn't want that?"
"But, you need to know who you're making a deal with!"
"That Prince Ruitai not only offered a bounty but also announced a funeral for his nephew, Sewock VII, in seven days—he invited Gren An, the boss of 'Night Watcher's Ho'."
"Tch, a threat indeed."
Matthew muttered softly.
Taniel worriedly looked at Jason.
As for Rodney?
He stared intensely at Jason.
In fact, as he spoke, Rodney was observing Jason.
He wished to glean a clue from Jason's expression.
Fueled by his instinct as an intelligence dealer, Rodney felt Jason knew sothing.
But to Rodney's disappointnt, Jason just nodded with no expression on his face.
"Got it."
"Matthew, do you have a quiet room here?"
Jason asked Matthew.
"There's a secret room in the basent, it's quiet enough."
Matthew replied.
"Take there."
Jason said this, while casting a reassuring look at Taniel.
What exactly was that Prince Ruitai trying to do?
Was it to beco the new Sewock Emperor?
Or was there a bigger plan?
Jason didn't know.
But regardless of whether the other party had a bigger plan or just wanted to use 'him' to beco Sewock VIII.
Jason knew very well what he had to do!
Increase his strength!
Only by increasing strength!
Can he remain unchanged amidst the inevitable changes!
Can he gain enough confidence!
And advancing 'professional tiers' is the most direct way.
