"Ah... this is the life! Hahaha!" A hearty laugh echoed through the air.
Its owner lay on the deck of a large cargo ship, clearly newly built. The wood still gleamed with a vivid golden sheen and smelled of freshly cut cedar.
It was Ron, a merchant who had once been just another face in the crowd trying to make his fortune in the Eternal Forest.
Overnight, however, he became a sensation in the Kingdom of Burning Ice.
The reason? A new drink called Green Fairy Wine, with a bewitching aura, powerful healing properties, and an incomparable taste.
When he presented the drink to a baron about two weeks ago, they say the nobleman went crazy for more bottles.
Ron, however, would only sell one per customer.
Soon, nobles were knocking on his door, offering hundreds of gold coins for a single bottle. Many sold for over four hundred coins.
In the end, Ron made a fortune from the green fairy wine he never would have expected to earn any other way.
