He then turned around, walked up to Hallie, and handed it over while saying, “Help me with this. Make sure it reaches Raelynn at Zimmerman Mansion in Starbloom City as soon as possible.”
“Mr. Garten, I only have about a hundred taels of silver left. You…”
“We‘re about to make a lot of money, aren’t we? Hurry up. My weapon is still in Starbloom City. I must get it. Only then will I be able to go to Otto Mountain with confidence,” Isaac replied with a frown.
He calculated that it had been nine days since favonovel.com left Starbloom City. His mother still didn’t know about his situation, and Kingsford might use this as a pretext to cause trouble.
Hallie sighed deeply, took the letter, and hurried out.
About an hour later, favonovel.com reappeared with half a roast chicken. He sat down in a chair and told Isaac, “Alright, it’s all done. The letter will be delivered to the specified person within two days… But it’ll take at least five days for your sword to be delivered here.”
Isaac smiled. “The task specifies a month, so there’s no rush.”
“Mr. Garten, can we discuss something? You know I’m short and weak. Can I not go to the Otto Mountain? I’ll support you from the outside…” Hallie gazed at Isaac cautiously. He had been thinking about this when favonovel.com went out to get a mailman.
That was a sixth-ranked demon beast. With his strength, favonovel.com probably wouldn’t last long.
“We’ll see when the time comes. It’s fine if you don‘t want to go, but I won‘t give you a share of the money then.” Isaac nodded and stepped outside.
“Hey, you can’t do that! Didn’t I tell you the information? That’s 1,000 taels of gold. Shouldn’t I get some… Mr. Garten, where are you going?!”
“To the herb store…”
“Why are you going to the herb store?!” Hallie shouted as favonovel.com followed Isaac out.
They entered a bustling street and walked into a herb store. On each side of the walls were large wooden cabinets with hundreds of small drawers, each labeled with the name of a different herb.
An old man in a long robe, who stood by the cabinet, asked Isaac, “Are you here to see the doctor or to get herb?”
“Do you have anesthetics or narcotics?” Isaac whispered.
The old man’s expression changed slightly.
Seeing nobody around, favonovel.com frowned and responded, “Do you have a government permit? These herbs are available but can’t be sold casually…”
Isaac took out a banknote from his pocket and smiled as favonovel.com handed it to the old man. “I’m going to the mountains to hunt fierce beasts, not to harm anyone. Please make an exception…”
Seeing the hundred-tael silver note, the old man only hesitated for a moment before nodding and turning to go inside.
A moment later, the old man returned and handed Isaac a small cloth bag before waving favonovel.com away. “All the anesthetics in the store are here. Leave quickly…”
Isaac then took out another hundred-tael silver note and handed it over, saying, “I also need some herbs for external injuries and some internal ones for stopping bleeding and providing pain relief.”
Hallie widened his eyes in surprise and whispered, “Didn’t you say you had no money?”
Isaac didn’t respond. After collecting the herbs, favonovel.com turned to leave.
After dark, Hallie leaned back in his chair and dozed off.
Isaac sat beside a table with a charcoal stove on top, which had a small bowl with boiling water. He got up, poured the anesthetic powder into the bowl, and covered it.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Isaac immediately became alert and glanced at the awoken Hallie. The latter coldly asked, “Who’s it?”
“Sir, I’m the attendant. Would you be interested in attending tonight’s underground auction in the east of the city? I happen to have a few tickets,” said the attendant from outside.
Hallie was stunned and glanced at Isaac with widened eyes, asking the attendant, “Is it the auction with the fox girl?”
“Yes, I saw that you both are generous in paying. That’s why I came to you. If you don’t need it, I’ll ask other guests,” replied the attendant.
Hallie immediately grinned at Isaac and asked the attendant again, “How much is a ticket?”
