Chapter 11
As soon as Sae-Jin left the Alchemy House, Hazeline grabbed her phone and called a certain someone.
"Hello, Sir Knight?"
"Hello, Miss Manager. I’d like to apologise for my earlier behaviour. I just happened to see the poor little Miss lying in the hospital bed before the call, so I just ended up losing my cool for a moment…"
His voice wasn’t all that apologetic, but never minding that, Hazeline spoke in a rather leisurely fashion.
"Oh, no. It’s fine. You see, the product came in just now."
"Oh!! Really!!"
Right away there was a loud yell. She could already imagine the sight of Park Hyun-Oh shooting up from his seat, his eyes bulging and yelling at the top of his lungs on the other side of the line. A slight sneer formed on Hazeline’s lips.
"Fuhut. Yes. However, as I’ve mentioned just now, the product has only arrived here recently, so even though I’m planning to give it the highest grade myself, the Central Association must test it too in order to issue the sales permit for us."
"Ah, there’s no need!! What kind of a fool would question Miss Hazeline’s discerning eyes? In any case, I shall be there shortly. Please wait for me!"
"…Fuht. Alright. Please be careful on your way."
Disconnecting the call, Hazeline let out a breath of satisfaction and leaned her body against the back of the chair.
For her, it’s been 3 years already since she took a step back from the world of alchemy after feeling intense dislike at the effing corporations and the foolish men and women of the Knights Orders.
Of course, even though she was no longer on the frontlines, the overconfident bastards still continued to harass her, but right in this moment, she felt good enough to soar high up in the sky. A brief moment when the dynamic between the monied "haves" and those who serve gets turned on its head, like when perfectly concocting a potion, or a well-made potion ing in through her doors.
‘…Since he said shortly so maybe he’ll take 5 minutes tops.’
The high ranked Knights of the Saebyuk Order could utilise private jets that burned Mana Stones as fuel source. It was indeed a clear waste of resources to fly a supersonic jet to e to Gangwon Province from the capital city of Seoul since this wasn’t an emergency situation, but taking into account the identity of the patient, he probably couldn’t delay the matter any longer.
To greet the ining guest, Hazeline put on the previously-discarded robe and pulled up her hood.
‘But I won’t hand it over that easily.’
The idiots weren’t aware of the fact that the alchemist had already left his jijang on their sales request letter. If that’s the case, then… she’d wring them out for all their worth, and make their innards boil with anxiety until they had melted into nothingness.
This was the kind of a light revenge only she could do, but when seen from the perspectives of those on the receiving end, it was probably the cruellest, evilest form of "habit" there was.
"Ah! That’s right!"
She nearly forgot to do something else before all that. Hazeline hurriedly grabbed her mobile phone and called another person.
"Hello there, reporter Yun Hui-Jeong. It’s been a while. Oh, it’s nothing special. It’s just that a noteworthy potion is finally available here after a really long while. Hmm? Oh, we’ve got a quit
e a stock. 4 bottles. It’s amazing, yes? Even for me, handling 4 bottles of a potion this incredible is a first. Yep. Oh my, thank you so much. I shall send over someone with all the necessary info. I’m expecting to receive the sales permit in 3 days, so when the time es, please write up a nice piece for me."

[The very first output of a genius that appeared like a meteor, the High grade potion, "A Goblin’s Kindness" hits the market.]
??From Gaebyuk Daily, written by Yun Hui-Jeong, a staff reporter.??
8 o’clock this morning. A potion with a unique name called A Goblin’s Kindness, brewed by a certain alchemist, was issued with the sales permit from the Central Alchemist Association.
The very first thing that grabs the attention is, of course, that name. It is said that the reason for the alchemist who brewed this potion borrowing the Goblin moniker, which could be seen as a minus, was because of a simple, yet hard to imagine hypothetical case of what would happen if Goblins showed kindness towards humans and used their potion making skills.
And to surprise us even more, his potion was deemed to possess perfect healing and regenerative properties by the Association and was assigned the High grade as if to imply that the alchemist must have had perfectly replicated the craftsmanship of a real Goblin. What’s more, this potion, A Goblin’s Kindness, just happens to be this alchemist’s very first creation.
…
…
…
This potion will go on auction which is scheduled to mence at 12 o’clock 8 days from now, on the premise of "Yoseon" Alchemy House located in the city of Wonju, Gangwon Province. With this potion, A Goblin’s Kindness, appearing like a sweet relieving rain in the times of seemingly unending drought, this reporter hopes that this event can perhaps inject some sense of life, even if it’s small, to the market that has fallen into doldrums of late.

The mood in the headquarters of the Raven Knights Order located in the suburbs of Jongro, Seoul, was in somewhat heightened state with the appearance of a High grade potion after more than a half a year of shortage.
The Raven Knights Order that set its sights beyond the borders of Korea and peted for the top spot in the global stage, regularly battled the rare Monsters ranked upper Mid Tier or above, or those bastards that suddenly appeared and started attacking without a warning. The thing was, these upper Mid Tier Monsters each possessed unique special powers, making them true walking disasters and when confronting these creatures, the Knights’ abilities proved to be rather inadequate most of the time.
In all honesty, rather than calling it inadequate, it’d be far more correct to say fear had crippled them.
After the unchecked, uncontrolled development of the Earth’s environment, the Healing magic had currently all "died away
