Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

"In my opinion, it would be better to start by investigating where he buys his materials."

“Most of the materials used by Bandanda are transported from other places, which takes time. Once we find out who he is dealing with, we can replace them with inferior ones from the source.”

“If he wants to investigate, we’ll make a big fuss about it, and he’ll naturally have to reveal the purpose of these materials. Otherwise, we’ll sue him under the Dangerous Magic Use Regulations.”

"Most of those ancient magic arrays are dangerous."

The person behind the curtain nodded excitedly after hearing this:

"White, I'm really growing to like you more and more, you old crow. How come I didn't realize you were so wise at first?"

"If you had shown such wisdom earlier, I wouldn't have refused to help you with the land issue last time."

White smiled slightly as he listened to the words of the person behind the curtain.

But deep down, I've already seen through it all.

If he had behaved better earlier, he wouldn't have been able to stop the Kamichi.

He didn't even have a chance to leave the capital.

"Alright, that concludes today's meeting."

The man behind the curtain waved his fat hand, signaling someone to see the guests out.

Led by a servant, White left the room and walked out of the magnificent noble mansion.

He sighed as he gazed at the pale blue defensive array that hung over the capital, seemingly endless and never ceasing to function.

It really looks like a birdcage.

I wonder how those two boys are doing lately.

Did my senior brother fall into the trap he set?

It should be possible.

After all, he knew his senior brother.

My senior brother has spent his whole life on alchemy and loving materials.

Whether it is alchemical material or human material.

Since that kid said he has no backing, then I'll find him one.

A person like him will never lack support in the future; plenty of people will want to rely on him.

I've essentially secured this for my senior brother.

……

"This is the Kanriel Market?"

Luo Xiu looked at the several streets in front of him that radiated outwards, with various small vendors sitting on both sides.

In front of them was a cloth with all sorts of strange and unusual things on it.

There are herbs, equipment, tools, materials, skill books, and alchemical potions...

Of course, there are also some everyday household items.

This should be the most normal place in Kanriel that Luo Xiu has ever been to.

"Isn't there a door here?"

Luo Xiu looked at a small vendor with oddly shaped door panels displayed in front of him, and said to Tassanya with a disappointed expression:

"Is this the door you mentioned that you searched for two hours but couldn't find, and finally bought from a resident?"

Tassanya immediately lowered her head:

“I’m sorry, Master. Tassanya needs more practice in this area. Please punish me.”

Luo Xiu waved his hand helplessly:

"Go ask those stalls that sell alchemical potions and find out the prices."

He and Tassanya came to the Kanriel Market this time to find out the price of alchemical potions.

See how long it would take to earn a profit of 50 gold coins, and be mentally prepared.

Tassanya immediately went to inquire and returned.

"So, how much is a bottle of Tier 1 potion?"

Luo Xiu was prepared for Tassanya to ask for an inflated price.

Every time she buys something, it's overpriced.

"Master, the average price of a bottle of Tier 1 potion is 2 silver coins."

"Oh, 2 silver coins..."

Luo Xiu subconsciously began to estimate how much the price was inflated, but the next second, he realized:

"Two silver coins?"

"But those two sets of materials you bought cost nearly 160 copper coins each!"

"Yes, Master, so every single one of those stall owners told me they weren't making any money, not at all."

Tassanya spoke respectfully:

"Tassanya thinks their success rate isn't as high as yours, Master, so they probably aren't making any money."

Okay, now here's the question.

Was it that the price of materials Tassanya paid was too high, or that the price of the alchemical potions Tassanya inquired about was too low?

Or there's an even more terrifying possibility: that the alchemical potions Tassanya asked about were already very expensive.

Luo Xiu had a headache and decided to take matters into his own hands.

After making inquiries around,

He made three decisions.

First: The materials Tassanya bought were overpriced.

Second: The price of alchemical potions asked by Tassanya... has also increased.

Thirdly, first-tier alchemical potions are truly not profitable.

After deducting the cost from the actual price, the profit per bottle is only twenty or thirty copper coins.

The reason for this phenomenon is quite simple.

Because this is Kanriel.

The largest city of sorcerers in the Kingdom of Dorant.

The one thing that's never lacking here is warlocks.

Aside from those who pay to enter the city, those who can enter are basically second-tier alchemists.

While refining this kind of first-tier potion might not be a breeze, the success rate is definitely not low.

Moreover, this is a market, and market prices are always cheaper than those at the Chamber of Commerce.

Due to all these factors combined, this is the most I can earn.

Let alone Tier 1 potions, even Tier 2 potions only yield this much profit per bottle.

Luo Xiu did the math and realized that at this rate of earning, he would have plenty of time to refine.

What now?

Should we head back home to continue our studies? Or should we sell these potions first?

While Luo Xiu was pondering this.

Suddenly, all the vendors around me stood up abruptly.

Luo Xiu was taken aback. What was going on now?

Under his watchful eye, all the vendors packed up their wares, slung them over their shoulders, and surged toward the intersection of the streets.

"Sir, may I ask what's wrong?"

Luo Xiu asked a small vendor who ran up to him.

"They're fighting! Time to make some money!"

The vendor spoke up.

Luo Xiu was puzzled, and together with Tassanya, they followed the vendors toward the intersection.

Before the person even arrived, they could hear someone speaking from afar:

"As witnessed by the Canril Pact, my duel with you is not based on life-or-death hatred, but solely on our ranking in the tournament."

Chapter 97 The Strange Kanriel-Style Duel

Luo Xiu squeezed into the crowded throng and looked toward the direction from which the sound came.

It was a huge circular platform, on which stood a man and a woman dressed in school uniforms, facing each other. The one who had just spoken was the man.

The platform wasn't very high, only about one or two meters above the ground, and it was some distance from the Cunlil Market, so it would be hard to notice unless there were two people standing on it.

Below the platform, a gentle breeze blew from below, causing the clothes of the two people on the platform to flutter, creating an atmosphere of inexplicable destiny-bound confrontation.

"Sir, what's going on?"

Luo Xiu asked a vendor carrying a package next to him.

He was a very thin vendor who looked to be in his forties or fifties, but he was carrying a package on his back that was much larger than the others.

"The annual Adventurers' Academy Tournament, you're new to Kanriel, aren't you?"

The vendor spoke up.

"I just came here not long ago."

Luo Xiu nodded.

"Then you're lucky, you caught a good time."
