"So, do you all have anything to report?"

Satan asked this question as she sat upright on the Demon King's throne, looking at the leaders who had all gathered below... Then she glanced at Sirina beside her with some doubt. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Sirina was always looking in Ira's direction.

Many things have happened recently, but most of them involved Satan Ye himself, and his colleagues are also aware of what happened. There is no need to report things that everyone knows, including Satan Ye.

It's really convenient here with monsters.

However, there are still some things that are not well understood by everyone, such as trade and diplomacy matters, which Senata and Youyou are usually the ones who need to report to.

The same applies now.

"Miss Vera's Corpse Fragrance Potion seems to have received a very good response in the Duchy. Many members of parliament have sent envoys to request contracts for the sale of Corpse Fragrance Potion within the Duchy."

As Youyou said this, it seemed that Ira's previous plan to have Vera give some perfume to the trade caravan had succeeded. This thing called "Corpse Fragrance Potion" had successfully seized the market's window of opportunity.

In this world, perfume does exist, but it's just a simple scented liquid; the fragrance dissipates quickly and can be pungent. It's merely entertainment among the nobility and doesn't have a complete industry chain.

The Empire may not buy [Corpse Fragrance Potion] in large quantities, after all, the Empire has a considerable number of toilets, but the Duchy, which knows nothing about [fertilizer] and [sanitation], and even has a clear aversion to [bathing], will definitely be very interested.

This is the name... Didn't it really deter them?

While Ira was pondering, Youyou pushed up her glasses and explained the situation: "Currently, the highest bidder is Grand Duke Novak, who is offering two violet gold coins (20 silver coins) per bottle, but he hopes to change the name of the [Corpse Fragrance Potion]."

"Furthermore, the Duke of Beondini is of particular interest. He is willing to purchase the product at 15 silver coins per bottle and can continue to trade with us incense and sage at low prices. One hundred pounds of incense only costs one silver coin."

The spices that Yu Yu mentioned, sage and sage, are relatively important spices, and usually cost around one hundred pounds 2 or three silver coins.

"Huh?! Is my Corpse Fragrance Potion really that valuable?"

Vera was delighted as the developer of the Corpse Fragrance Potion... If the Corpse Fragrance Potion, once commercialized, sold well, she could earn a lot of money, and research funding would probably be no longer a problem.

Indeed, two violet gold coins are equivalent to one gold coin (thorn gold coin) plus eight silver coins, while the cheapest fishing boat only costs ten gold coins.

Trading ten bottles of perfume for a small fishing boat sounds outrageous, but if you think about it carefully... in Ira's past world, even a bottle of perfume was worth far more than a small fishing boat.

The value of luxury goods is just that outrageous.

"The offers from other lawmakers are insufficient as alternatives, so which trading partner should we choose, or what new price should we offer?"

As she asked this question, her gaze swept over Vera's silly, happy face, then over Satan Ye, who looked bewildered, and over Shirina, who was deep in thought, before finally settling on Ira, who was sitting alone to the side.

Only Iraq can provide a decent answer.

It seems that Ira's seat at the morning meeting is getting closer and closer to everyone else's.

"Let Grand Duke Novak offer three violet gold coins in exchange for a bottle of perfume, with a minimum of 25 silver coins. Although I don't think he'll refuse... I know Grand Duke Biondini; he always finds excuses to owe money and always tries to pull strings in transactions."

Ira spoke calmly, seemingly unconcerned that the Novak Grand Guild disagreed with the conditions. He looked in Vera's direction and asked, "Vera, is your perfume-making technique easily replicated?"

"Hehehe, money!"

"..."

Hehehe~

"Vera!"

Hearing Ira's reprimand, Vera instantly sobered up. She recalled Ira's question, then coughed twice and said, "Ahem, um... if it's someone like Gurera Genesis Parada, she could probably decipher the Corpse Scent Potion by spending the effort."

Is it only possible for Gurera to decipher it? That would mean the formula is not easily reversed.

The image of that chattering alchemist girl with glasses and heart-shaped eyes flashed through Ira's mind. He nodded and pressed, "So, what if those guys knew the material was giant bees?"

"..."

Vera paused, realizing that the main ingredient of the Corpse Fragrance potion was the corpse of a giant bee. To avoid trouble, she had to purchase it. The price was very cheap, but... this would make it easy for someone with ulterior motives to guess.

"Well, it's very difficult to guess the formula by exhaustive search. The method of extracting bee vesicles is not something that everyone can think of and learn. If it were someone like Gurera, it would probably take two or three quarters to deduce the formula and process, right?"

Vera spoke somewhat uncertainly, looking at the puzzled eyes of Satan Ye and the others, and explained, "Ah, Gurera is the Empire's chief alchemist, the guy who has Ira as his fiancé."

Everyone looked at Vera, who was spouting nonsense, and then at Ira, who was deep in thought. They thought Vera was about to get a beating from Ira for talking nonsense again, but...

This time, Iraq was surprisingly calm.
