Suddenly hearing a voice,
The brown-haired girl hurriedly looked up. Seeing Lyle's familiar yet strange face, she scrambled up from the ground in a panic: "My... Lord!"
The pitch of the word "Lord" rose significantly. She clearly hadn't expected to see Lyle today and was quite flustered.
Because she had been squatting for a long time and stood up too quickly, the brown-haired girl stumbled and almost fell.
"No need to rush. I remember your name is Daya, right?" Lyle spoke only after seeing Daya regain her balance.
The brown-haired girl before him, Daya, was a member of the Adventurer's Guild and the first person he had interacted with shortly after transmigrating to this world.
Speaking of which...
She had introduced him to many rules of the Adventurer's Guild and even tried to get him to spend five copper coins to register as an adventurer. Unfortunately, he had been very poor back then.
They weren't exactly close.
However, Lyle had spent most of his previous time leveling up and hadn't interacted with many people; those who left an impression on him were even fewer.
"Yes, yes."
Daya said quickly with some excitement. She never expected Lyle to actually remember her name.
Back then, she thought he was just an ordinary outlander, but in the blink of an eye, he had become such a powerful, great figure.
"Is there something you need?" Lyle asked.
"My younger brother has been in poor health for several years now..." Daya's eyes dimmed slightly. "We've sought treatment from doctors and priests in the church, but nothing has worked."
"A while ago, I managed to buy a bottle of the ordinary 'Regeneration Potion' made by you, my Lord. After my brother drank it, his health improved significantly."
At this point, Daya's eyes turned slightly red. She looked at Lyle with both gratitude and nervousness.
Lyle's expression didn't change. He simply gave a slight nod to show he understood.
He remembered Daya's job was as a receptionist at the Adventurer's Guild. Since this was the Royal Capital, her level of knowledge was naturally not low.
The "Regeneration Potion" worked, but healing magic and normal medical treatments were useless?
A hint of contemplation flashed in Lyle's eyes.
It wasn't hard to guess. On the surface, the "Regeneration Potion" was no different from a normal healing potion.
In reality,
The "Regeneration Potion" utilized the innate regenerative abilities of Trolls to replenish the drinker's life energy. It was a different concept from healing magic and recovery potions.
This could be seen from its ability to heal people with congenital disabilities.
There were only two scenarios where Daya's brother could recover by drinking the "Regeneration Potion": one was a curse, and the other was a congenital physical ailment brought from the womb.
Based on Daya's description, it was likely the second case.
"And so?" Lyle asked.
"I wish to purchase a bottle of Advanced 'Regeneration Potion' from you, my Lord." After Daya finished speaking, she bowed deeply to Lyle.
If an ordinary "Regeneration Potion" could have an effect on her brother, then an Advanced "Regeneration Potion" might have the possibility of curing him.
But compared to the ordinary potion, an Advanced "Regeneration Potion" was simply not something she could buy. Even if she offered more money, it wouldn't be her turn.
For some top-tier adventurers, this was a potion that could provide continuous effects during battle and save lives at critical moments.
Furthermore, those noble lords were even more unstinting in their acquisition of such potions.
Coupled with the fact that the quantity of Advanced potions sold by "Free Will" daily was too small, it would never be the turn of ordinary people like them.
"I see. The price is ten gold coins."
Lyle nodded. He reached into the magic leather pouch hanging at his waist, and a bottle of "Regeneration Potion" appeared in his hand.
This kind of potion wasn't precious to him—he could even make it casually—but he wouldn't just give it away for free.
Daya's gaze fell upon the potion bottle, which emitted a deep blue luster under the sunlight. Her hands trembled as she hurriedly pulled a coin purse from her pocket, as if afraid he would change his mind.
She never expected it to go so smoothly.
Lyle reached out to take the heavy coin purse and handed the potion to her. Then, he counted out ten gold coins from the purse and tossed it back.
"The price is ten gold coins. You gave too much money." Lyle spoke with his usual calm.
"My Lord..." Daya was stunned.
"I only sell the Advanced 'Regeneration Potion' for ten gold coins. As for how much the resellers charge, that is their business."
Lyle said indifferently, then paused: "One bottle might not be enough to completely cure your brother."
"Go find the woman named... hmm, Samantha tomorrow. Tell her that from the batch of potions given to them daily, one Advanced potion can be set aside for you."
"As for the price, I cannot influence that."
"In a while, I will also be leaving the Royal Capital."
After saying that,
Lyle waved his hand at Daya and turned back toward the inn.
"Thank you."
Daya gripped the potion tightly and bowed three times toward Lyle's retreating back.
Those few sentences just now revealed quite a bit of information. As a receptionist for the Royal Capital's Adventurer's Guild, Daya was clearly no fool.
Entering the inn,
Lyle saw Enri peeking from by the door. An amused look appeared on his face: "Satisfied now?"
"My Lord is the best person in the world!" Enri said with a giggle.
"Heh."
Lyle shook his head slightly and said calmly yet pointedly, "Peaceful times are always fleeting."
I hope you won't disappoint me, Enri.
Besides, I have never been a good person.
The white priest robes swayed.
Enri looked at Lyle as he walked up the stairs in confusion, naturally unable to understand or grasp the meaning of those words.
Returning to his inn room,
Lyle glanced at the Ghost Hound and closed his eyes, sensing the movement of a Magic Mark he had been monitoring.
"It hasn't moved for a while now. Based on the time, it should have arrived."
Lyle murmured softly, and then a surge of magic power suddenly erupted from him.
Teleportation!
The next instant,
His field of vision shifted. A room that was larger but looked much simpler came into view.
Lyle scanned the room, walked to the cabinet in front of him, pulled open a drawer, and took out a wooden box.
There was nothing valuable inside, just a copper coin—specifically, a copper coin with a "Magic Mark" attached to it.
He tossed the wooden box into his Inventory.
Lyle walked to the window and looked outside.
Crisscrossing simple dirt roads and low houses gave off a sense of age, but the many pedestrians on the street still provided a hint of prosperity.
This was clearly not the Royal Capital, but a border town.
"E-Yiwur"!
As early as his second day in the Royal Capital, Lyle had used Imina's subordinates to transport the copper coin marked with his "Magic Mark" to this border town.
The Kingdom of Re-Estize had a total of three border cities.
"E-Rantel," which bordered the Baharuth Empire and the Slane Theocracy, serving as the junction of the three nations.
"E-Arsenal," bordering the Argland Council State to the northwest.
"E-Yiwur," bordering the Holy Kingdom.
The most famous and prosperous was naturally "E-Rantel."
The Argland Council State's situation was unique, and "E-Arsenal" had a low presence, but among the three major border cities, the one with the lowest presence was actually "E-Yiwur."
Many people didn't even know of this city's existence, as "E-Yiwur" could already be described as a town.
This town was located at the very center of the border between the Holy Kingdom's "Kalinsha" and the Re-Estize Kingdom's "Re-Lobel," and it had long since been gradually abandoned.
In fact, further north, the harbor city of "Re-Lobel" had ships that led directly to the Holy Kingdom.
And "E-Yiwur" was too close to the central region—or rather, close to the Abelion Hills, where a large number of demi-human tribes existed.
This made the living environment here even more dangerous than in "E-Rantel."
"I wonder how 'Martial King' Gagaran is doing."
Lyle recalled the information about this town and withdrew his gaze from the window. His next plans were in the Holy Kingdom and the Abelion Hills.
Naturally, he had to set up an Advanced post!
That was one objective; another was that group of dwarf craftsmen.
He planned to buy a large manor in this border town, which the Kingdom almost ignored, and temporarily settle the dwarf craftsmen here.
Staying in the Lava Zone forever was not a long-term solution.
Next,
Lyle disguised himself and used money to pave the way, quickly purchasing a large area of desolate land and a manor on the edge of the town.
He even specifically chose a location near the Abelion Hills mountain range to avoid being disturbed. While others feared those demi-humans, Lyle didn't care.
He then spent another night.
After knocking the dwarves unconscious, Lyle used teleportation magic to bring them all to this manor.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Lyle completely finished handling these miscellaneous matters.
Royal Capital, Inn.
With a "click,"
Lyle pushed open the door and raised an eyebrow as he saw Emerald Leaf Witch and Enri waiting by the door.
"Why aren't you wearing your formal dresses?" Lyle was a bit surprised.
