Everyone in the tavern is paying attention to this time of the orc war. As mercenaries traveling around the world, their sense of smell is very sensitive.

It is foreseeable that the future battlefield will become a stable money-making channel for them for a long time.

Although it is dangerous there, compared to the huge competition and the various mercenary missions that require traveling here and there, participating in the Orc War will be a very wise choice.

This doesn't mean that they have to go to the battlefield to fight the orcs head-on.

As a mercenary, there are actually too many jobs they can accept.

For example, the leader of the gang is escorting the army of the Kingdom of Adren to rations, protecting a certain nobleman from a war-torn area, or wandering on the edge of the battlefield, looking for those lone orcs to attack, and then taking their heads to the army to receive rewards.

.

It is even said that if their dreams were bigger, they could sneak into the orc military camps and earn huge bounties by assassinating orc officers.

It's just that this method is a bit risky, and those who are not high-level mercenary groups would not dare to take this risk.

After all, there are many strong men among the orcs. Otherwise, based on their behavior, they would not be alive now, and they should have been wiped out by the major races on the mainland long ago.

Just as everyone in the tavern was discussing the bounty for this war, a young man wearing leather armor ran in excitedly, holding a bottle of very exquisite-looking potion in his hand.

"Brothers, Kablan's alchemy shop has opened again. I just grabbed a bottle of primary vitality potion there! If you want to pick it up, hurry up! Don't miss this opportunity again!"

Following his roar, all the mercenaries in the tavern stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

"Wow!"

The next moment, everyone let out a burst of exclamation, and then stood up one after another, scrambling towards the door of the tavern.

"what happened?"

When the mercenaries who had just arrived at Talata saw this battle, they were a little confused for a while.

The young mercenary holding the potion had already bought what he wanted first. At this time, he was no longer in a hurry and slowly found a seat to sit down, with a proud look on his face.

"Ding ding ding~"

The man tapped the small medicine bottle in his hand twice, shook it in front of everyone, and said:

"Here, have you seen this? The primary vitality potion. I just bought it in Kaplan's alchemy shop. There were so many people, but I was the first one to rush in!"

Seeing his appearance, the mercenary next to him couldn't help showing a look of contempt.

"Isn't it just a bottle of primary vitality potion? What's so rare about it?"

When the young man saw someone taking the bait, he suddenly felt happy, but on his face he kept his composure. He even pretended to look at the poor people in the countryside and said:

"Hehehe, so you should stay still. It is also a primary vitality potion. Let me ask you, how much did you spend on it before?"

"Two silver coins, what's wrong? Isn't this the general price for the entire Kingdom of Adren?"

"Hahaha, do you know how much I paid for this?"

"How much?"

The young man smiled mysteriously, and took a deep breath into the potion through the bottle, as if he was feeling the breath of life contained in it.

At this time, the curiosity of the new mercenaries was also aroused, and they began to urge him to speak quickly and stop telling the story.

"He, he bought this bottle of potion for only one silver coin. It was at the Kablan Alchemy Shop at the next intersection."

At this time, there was a mercenary who was sitting here drinking and couldn't stand it anymore, and first told the price of this bottle of potion.

When the young man saw this, he immediately felt as if he had eaten a fly, with an extremely depressed expression on his face.

Why is it so difficult to act cool these days?

I had obviously prepared my emotions well, but suddenly a person came out and told me the answer first, but all his sense of experience was gone.

However, no one could care about his experience now. After the new mercenaries heard the price mentioned by the man behind them, they were all shocked, with disbelief written on their faces.

"Isn't this primary vitality potion not powerful enough...?"

They expressed their guesses.

After all, this kind of situation has not happened before. Many alchemists will sell some inferior potions at low prices, or there are flaws in the refining process, resulting in defective products that are greatly reduced in effectiveness.

It is not impossible to buy such potions, and their prices are even much cheaper than those of normal potions.

But not many are really willing to buy it.

Because the potency of the medicine is greatly reduced, mercenaries are often unable to control their specific effects when using them, causing the outcome of the battle to develop in an unpredictable direction.

Just like the primary vitality potion in the hands of the young man in front of me, this thing can be used to treat wounds and restore physical strength. To put it bluntly, it is related to your life.

If the efficacy of this potion is reduced, the consequences will be very terrible.

After all, I have already spent money to buy medicine, and I just plan to keep it as relief. Naturally, no one is willing to be careless about this life-saving method.

Therefore, when they heard the person behind them saying that its price was only half, these people naturally thought of those inferior potions.

Seeing this scene, the young man from before immediately found an opportunity. This time he no longer pretended, and said hurriedly:

"Hehe, buddy, you are about to misunderstand this. The effect of this bottle of potion is absolutely the same as that sold elsewhere, and there is no adulteration in it!"

"Bragging, how is this possible? As far as I know, the price of two magic potions in this elementary vitality potion adds up to seventy copper coins. Plus the other medicinal materials, is it possible that it is stuck?

The owner of Bran’s alchemy shop, do you still want to give you some money?”

This mercenary obviously knew a little bit about this potion.

Those who work in their field have a certain level of understanding of these things, at least they are able to understand and recognize many precious potions.

If this were not the case, these people would be running around on a daily basis on missions, and they would not be able to recognize anything valuable and good they encountered on the road. Wouldn't it be a huge loss?

But what he didn't know was that his words hit the young man's excitement point.

"Hehehehe, I don't know. You don't know that the owner of Kablan Alchemy Shop is amazing. I heard that he improved the basic formula of these potions and greatly reduced the cost of refining them. That's why I let him

The finished product prices of these medicines have also been reduced, otherwise, how could they be given to you so cheaply?"

The young man's words made all the new mercenaries stunned. It took them a while to react, and asked in a somewhat uncertain tone:

"Does that mean... in the future, when we buy primary vitality potions at that Kaplan alchemy shop, the price is only one silver coin, but the therapeutic effect is no different from the two silver coins before!?"

"That's right! That's it!"

"..."

Several people were silent for a few seconds, and then they all stood up and ran towards the door of the tavern without looking back. They also wanted to buy the half-price potions.

"Hahaha! It's too late! Where can I buy it now? Come earlier next time!"

The young man sat there and did not move. He just laughed loudly and told the other party that he had missed the opportunity to buy.

Sure enough, not long after the mercenaries passed by, they all came back with dejected looks. Following them into the tavern were the same group of people who ran out immediately before.

"Damn it! Pekka! Can you come back quickly next time! By the time we get there, they will be almost sold out, and we won't even be able to queue up!"

A mercenary with a beard looked familiar to the young man and started complaining as soon as he entered the door.

"Che, Wright, I am not obligated to help you pass on information for free. If you want to buy cheap vitality potions, then you should go to the queue earlier. It is useless to count on others!"

"Damn it! Pekka! Remember this, next time you have a mission, don't expect me to help you again!"

The two began to argue, and for a while the whole tavern regained its popularity, with constant noise and bustle. Worrying that this was the scene, it seemed more appropriate to the scene here.

Of course, there are still many people who go out to buy potions and gain something.

I saw that each of them was holding an exquisite small bottle in their hands. Judging from the color and appearance of the potions inside, these were the most common low-level recovery potions.

"Hahahaha! I grabbed it! Fortunately, I got in in time! Otherwise, I might have been like you!"

The man said and put the medicine bottle containing the red liquid in his hand on the table.

"Did you see that the primary vitality potion I just grabbed only costs one silver coin! It's really the lowest price I've ever seen. If you put this price anywhere else, the boss might just slap it on you!"

Several companions around him obviously rushed out earlier. Each of them had a bottle of medicine in his hand, and they all had expressions of satisfaction on their faces.

"Why……"

Several new mercenaries let out a long sigh, feeling annoyed that they had taken this good opportunity.

"It's okay, brother. I heard that the Kablan Alchemy Store will be officially opened in a few days. There will be a lot of good things in their store by then. It won't be too late for us to go there and buy some."

"But it's not a loss if you don't buy it now. I'm afraid you don't know yet. Although these potions are cheap and powerful enough, they have many flaws... Maybe you need to understand it before buying it.

Their shortcomings, then make plans."

The mercenary who revealed the answer in advance came over to comfort him.

"Defect? ​​What defect?"

The newlyweds suddenly felt nervous, secretly thinking that there really is no such good thing in the world.

At this time, everyone in the hall looked strange. Some people wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, they held back.

"Haha, in fact, this defect is not as serious as you think. It is just that when using these medicines, there may be some minor side effects..."

The spoiler man said, looking at the primary vitality potion in the hand of one of them.

"For example, although the potency of this medicine is fine, I heard that after drinking it, you will become very sleepy an hour later, yawning all the time, and wishing you could just fall to the ground and fall asleep..."

"So, this potion actually has certain limitations. You must ensure that you are in a safe environment an hour after drinking it. If you are unfortunate enough to be alone in the woods, then congratulations,
