Another Bidding War
Rias seemed to share Selena's confusion.
Her large red eyes blinked several times as she looked from the flower to Leon.
She couldn't understand why Leon, who had ignored so many valuable treasures, had suddenly stood up because of an ordinary-looking spirit herb.
But neither woman knew what Leon was actually thinking.
The Red Spider Lily wasn't what Leon wanted because of its ordinary medicinal effect.
It was because of what could be done with it.
Leon glanced at the two women and calmly explained,
"If it's just for consumption, this thing is indeed not a treasure. However, this flower has other uses."
Selena and Rias looked at each other.
Then, almost at the same time, they asked:
"What uses?"
Leon smiled.
"Alchemy!"
"What?"
The two of them were stunned for a moment.
Their expressions changed almost simultaneously.
Alchemy?
Selena's blue eyes widened slightly.
Rias's red eyes also filled with surprise.
Leon didn't rush to explain.
