34: Chapter 34 Space Bag

A single bottle of potion actually reached a price of eight Magic Stones; this was one Magic Stone higher than the price sold below.

It might not look like much, but it was a completely different concept.

Selling for seven Magic Stones below was because the environment was different; the value of the potion would be greatly enhanced, creating a partial premium.

Now, being able to sell at such a high unit price—while partly due to the Mandatory Mission—was largely due to the purity of the potions.

With higher purity, he could reap more Magic Stones for the same amount of effort.

This made Byron determined to win by quality in the future.

After all, the number of potions he could refine in a day was limited, so prioritizing quality was the only way to gain greater benefits.

Leaving the Potion Market, Byron did not head to the dormitory area but changed direction toward the Grey Dome Restaurant, as the three of them had moved their gathering there.

After all, it was somewhat inappropriate to always gather at Eliza's dormitory.

As for the cost of the gathering, it would be shared by the three of them.

Under the guidance of a waiter, Byron arrived at a luxuriously decorated private room.

Upon entering the room, the first thing that caught his eye was the huge floor-to-ceiling window, which allowed him to take in the entire garden scene.

Seeing this, Byron looked at Grey, who was sitting in the private room, and teased him with a smile.

"Grey, where did you strike it rich? You actually booked such a private room."

Grey chuckled, "I didn't book this; Eliza did. She said it was a reward from her mentor, so it's completely free."

Speaking of which, Grey sighed, "Why don't I have such a good mentor? I can only envy Eliza."

Byron chuckled and changed the subject, "So where is Eliza? Hasn't she arrived yet?"

Grey replied, "Eliza just went out; she should be back soon."

Hearing this, Byron stopped asking and started chatting with Grey about other matters.

"Grey, the Mandatory Mission is about to start. Are you prepared?"

Grey laughed heartily, "Of course I'm prepared. What about you, Byron? If you're not ready yet, I have a way."

Byron became slightly interested, "Oh, what way?"

Grey lowered his voice, "I can help you purchase them on your behalf. We can buy wizard artifacts refined by our alchemy workshop at a low price. How about it?"

Byron did not agree immediately and asked instead, "Will this affect you?"

"It's fine, what could happen? I'm not the only one doing this."

"Besides, I'm only helping you and Eliza. Even if there's an issue, it won't be a big one."

"To be honest, if it weren't for your and Eliza's help, I wouldn't have been able to become a Wizard Apprentice so early, and I wouldn't be able to purchase wizard artifacts at the internal low price."

"Eliza has already agreed, so don't hesitate."

Hearing this, Byron pondered for a moment and finally entrusted Grey to purchase some needed alchemy products.

As for the Magic Stones, Byron transferred some to Grey first, with the understanding that any excess would be refunded or any deficit covered later.

Grey smiled and patted his chest, "Don't worry, Byron. I will definitely handle this for you. Just wait for my news."

After the two chatted for a while longer, Eliza finally walked in.

Afterward, the focus of their conversation shifted to discussing the upcoming Mandatory Mission, and each shared the information they knew.

However, the content of every Mandatory Mission is different.

It could be clearing out aberrant creatures in the Gloomy Forest, clearing out exotic creatures in a Secret Realm, or perhaps even exterminating a Dark Wizard nest.

The Dark Wizard sounds similar to the Dark Wizard, but they are fundamentally different.

The Dark Wizard is an academy wizard under the background of the Great Crusade.

While the Dark Wizard is an evil wizard who wantonly captures Mortals in the Wizard World for human experiments, communicating with evil gods, and so on, committing a series of acts that violate wizard taboos, and is intolerable to all wizards and wanted.

The content of the mission varies, and the form changes accordingly. Some missions allow for teams, while others do not, and some even require all Wizard Apprentices to complete them together.

Until the very last moment, no one knows the situation of the Mandatory Mission.

Therefore, the three could only discuss past cases and formulate corresponding plans based on those cases.

Time passed bit by bit, and after completing the exchange of items, the three went their separate ways.

A few more days passed.

One evening, after finishing dealing with his mentor's experimental Materials, Byron had just returned to his dormitory when he heard a knock on the door.

Byron was puzzled; who would come to find him so late?

However, despite his confusion, Byron still got up to open the door. Seeing Grey standing at the door, Byron realized who it was.

After welcoming Grey in, Byron smiled, "You could have just brought it tomorrow; it's so late."

Grey chuckled, "I just got my hands on it, and I was passing by on my way back from the workshop, so I just brought it over. I didn't want to make a special trip tomorrow."

As he spoke, Grey took out a cloth bag inlaid with silver threads from his bosom and handed it to Byron.

"Byron, you are really rich; you can actually afford this thing. But it's really useful; if I weren't broke, I would want to buy one too."

"As for the other things you wanted, I've put them inside. You can check them yourself later. If there are any issues, come find me, and I'll help you speak up."

Byron took the cloth bag, "When you can do alchemy, you'll be able to afford this too. No need to envy me."

Grey was not at all polite and nodded with eyes full of longing.

"Oh, right, Byron, buying these things cost over seventy Magic Stones. You give me fifty, and don't worry about the rest; just consider it payment for those potions from before."

"As for the remaining amount, I'll pay you back later. I'm out of Magic Stones again."

Speaking of this, Grey scratched his head with a silly smile.

Byron waved his hand, "It's fine, pay me back whenever. I'm not in a rush."

"Alright, I've given you the items, so I'll be going now. I won't waste your time. Plus, I need to go back and continue my Meditation, striving to further improve my Mental Energy."

"When we team up, at least I won't hold you and Eliza back, right?"

Hearing this, Byron seemed to recall something. He took a few vials of potions to assist with Meditation from under the table and handed them to Grey.

Seeing Grey's stunned expression, Byron smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not giving them away for free; I'm charging for them."

Grey then took the potions and nodded with a smile, "Then I won't stand on ceremony with a rich person like you."

Afterward, after seeing Grey out, Byron returned to the hall and carefully examined the exquisite cloth bag.

This item had a great reputation and was almost an essential item for every wizard who needed to go out—the Space Bag.

That's right, the cloth bag in Byron's hand was a Space Bag with an internal space of one square meter.

Although the space was not large, it was enough for Byron to use at this time.

After playing with it in his hands for a while, Byron finally probed it with his Mental Energy.

Inside the Space Bag, in addition to a long knife engraved with complex patterns, a strangely shaped revolver, and ammunition, there were also some scattered, relatively practical alchemy products.
