The result of the first day was undoubtedly frustrating. As Langard was the capital of the empire, anyone who could open a potion shop in the central city would naturally have good knowledge. However, if even they had never heard of it, then the hope of obtaining these two materials would be extremely slim.
The dragon fruit is better, some older shop owners still know about it, but the Hadera fish is bad, no one knows about it!
"... Could it be that the Hadera fish has become extinct?"
When Hulim thought about Semiris's sense of time, it suddenly seemed possible...
the next day.
Standing at the dividing line between Midtown and Downtown, Hulim was hesitating.
She hadn't given up yet, but her failed experience in the central city yesterday made her hesitate whether to continue searching in the central city. Langard was very large, and if she searched like this, it would be a question whether she could find all the potion shops in the central city in ten days. Maybe she could find it, but it was more likely that the people from the underground organization would find her first.
They seemed to be busy with something recently and had no time to take care of themselves for the time being, but Hulim didn't think that they would still leave themselves alone after the matter was dealt with.
In the end, Hulim did not choose to continue searching in the central city, but walked into the downtown area.
Normally, the quality of the potion shops in the middle town should be higher than those in the lower town, but—
"Semilis once said, if you're hesitant about whether to take a certain path, don't hesitate, just change it, because that path lacks your conviction..."
... ...
Although it is a downtown area, in a place like Langard, you can't see the poor and backward streets commonly seen in normal downtown areas.
It is still very prosperous and the public security is very good.
Even several large organizations, such as the headquarters of the Royal Capital Garrison Knights and the Royal Capital Branch of the Adventurer's Guild, are located in the lower city.
It seems that the differences between the urban areas of Langard are not as obvious as those in ordinary cities.
Hulim searched for a long time in the lower town.
I asked three potion shops in a row and the result was as expected.
Not only that, as mentioned before, the level of the Lower City is not as good as that of the Central City. The amount of materials held in these potion shops is not as good as that of the Central City, and they don’t even have many ordinary materials for Dragon Dream Fragrance.
“Ding! Dang! Ding! Dang…”
Before she knew it, Hulim had come to a street with many blacksmith shops. There were obviously fewer ordinary people on this street, but a lot more people dressed as adventurers.
There was obviously no potion shop here, so Hulim quickened her pace.
“Moo!”
"Be careful, make way."
When he reached a blacksmith shop at a certain intersection, a truck was parked sideways at the door of the shop, blocking Hulim's way. A dwarf came out of the blacksmith shop and cursed at the person pulling the truck.
"Why are you so slow?! Do you know I'm very busy lately?"
"Calm down, calm down~!"
The driver smiled apologetically and opened the truck, revealing the metal ore inside.
"I'll be on time next time!"
"snort!"
The dwarf glanced at the ore.
"It's okay, I won't do it again!"
Then he turned around and yelled towards the blacksmith shop:
"What are you guys doing in the store? Come out and unload the goods!"
Looking at the truck blocking the road, Hulim, who had originally wanted to cross the street quickly, was forced to stop.
“… …”
She thought for a moment, then turned to look at the narrower street to the side. Ultimately, she chose not to go around the truck, but instead turned and walked towards this street...
Hulim walked for a long time, but the street still did not reach the end. Instead, it became narrower and narrower, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. Just as Hulim was wondering whether she should go around the truck, a potion shop with a sign and a very simple appearance appeared in her sight.
“… …”
Looking at this potion shop that only had a potion shop sign and not even a store name, Hulim didn't have any hope for it.
"...Just consider it a try."
Hulim still chose to step into this potion shop...
"Ding-ling~!"
As the wind chimes at the door rang.
Hulim stood in the potion shop.
As soon as she entered the store, she felt that it seemed different from other stores.
Smell or magic...
They all seem different.
"Is there anything I need, little sister?"
“!?!”
Hulim was startled and dodged to the left, then stared with wide eyes at the person who suddenly appeared on his right.
When did it appear?! I didn't even notice it!
"Oh, that's an interesting reaction. Don't worry, no one can hurt you here, little sister."
The shop owner said in a calm tone.
There seemed to be some kind of magical power in these words, and the originally nervous Hulim unconsciously relaxed.
But then she realized something was wrong.
"How do you know I'm a woman?"
After Hulim came to Langarde, she had been dressed in a black robe covering her face. Normally, it would be impossible to tell that she was a woman just by her appearance. Hulim also remembered very clearly that she did not speak after entering the store.
"Oh, well, you can tell at a glance, right?"
The shop owner replied with a smile in a rhetorical tone.
Hulim: "..."
