Episode 141

71. I found the elixir – 1

From the moment I saw the tree, I knew I wanted to give it a proper party experience.

It’s a given.

If you’re such a lovely child, shouldn’t you be wearing pretty clothes too?

For Sailor, who had been thinking that she had to do this herself, Tree’s visit was nothing less than an opportunity to fulfill that desire.

“Triya! Let’s wear this one more time!”

Tree, who had already put on and taken off several dresses, let out a sigh that was uncharacteristic of her.

But since I like it that much, I can’t not do it.

She looked around at the other elves for help, but they all just had sparkling eyes like Sailor.

“I want to stop now. I told you earlier that this was the end.”

“Ah… … I guess I overdid it. Actually, I don’t have a younger sibling and I grew up alone in a family, so I wanted to dress you up like this. That’s why I always wanted to treat you like my younger sibling from the moment I first met you. Choosing a dress for my younger sibling… … .”

At that moment, tears began to well up in Sailor’s eyes.

Tree, seeing that, sighed again.

“… … Just one set.”

“Okay! Just one!”

Her expression brightened as if her sobbing just moments ago had been a lie.

Yes, the tree was fooled again.

But what can we do?

A sailor is a merchant.

Tree’s experience was not so great that he could easily avoid her tricks, such as pretending to cry while dealing with numerous transactions.

Sailor smiled brightly at Tree, who was eventually caught by the elves who were making a fuss about how cute she was and sent off to put on a dress.

“It’s not over yet, is it?”

At that moment, the door opened and Seol-i and Lee-han came in.

As soon as Sailor saw the two, he became excited.

She was giving a speech about how cute and pretty the tree was, and when the tree came out in a light green dress, she started clapping like a seal.

“Wow! Wow! Wow! The tree is so pretty… … .”

“It suits you well!”

“Right?! Right!? You really have an eye for detail!”

While the sailor holding the explanation burst into cheers, Tree looked at Lee Han.

Her gaze was fixed on Lee Han’s hand.

“I thought you might be hungry, so I made this as a snack.”

What Lee Han made was a pumpkin mousse cake.

While the tree was being held by Sailor, Lee Han went to inspect the pumpkin with Seol Yi.

I learned that the ground pumpkin is a similar crop to the butternut squash, so I tried cooking with it.

Tree took a bite of the pretty golden cake and opened his eyes wide.

It was very soft and the rich sweetness spread in my mouth.

“it’s good.”

“yes?”

Lee Han, who was grinning, looked up and down the tree.

It was a dress that Sailor had planned and prepared, so it really suited her.

“Want to try wearing it in the forest too?”

Tree looked at the dress that was wrapped around her and shook her head.

I know it’s pretty, but it’s true that it’s uncomfortable.

“I like comfortable clothes to wear in the forest.”

“I see.”

Lee Han smiled and patted Tree’s head.

Meanwhile, the sailor who had put a black bow tie around Seol-i’s neck suddenly stood up from his seat.

“Then, now, Lee Han, you too should change!!”

The tree held his hand tightly.

Lee Han sighed as he met her eyes, which were filled with the thought that said, “I can’t be the only one who gets this.”

“Just one set.”

“Ohhohoho!”

The sailor did not respond.

When dinner time came, Tree sat down at the table without hiding her tired expression.

Although she didn’t feel that tired even after working hard in the forest, changing clothes several times was not easy.

“That’s great! I found clothes that suit you both!”

“No, I bought you all the clothes you tried on… … .”

Sailor decided to buy all the clothes and accessories she had ever made for Lee Han and Tree.

If that’s the case, then why bother trying it on?

Unlike Lee Han, who had been indifferent since he had experienced similar things several times at the top, when Tree spoke indifferently since this was his first time experiencing something like this, Sailor responded with a smile.

“Of course I chose clothes that would be suitable for a party!”

“Ugh… … .”

“If the party was fun, you can come back later, right? I’ll throw a party for the tree as long as it’s fun!”

She just sighed at his confident attitude.

Seol-i, who had been giggling next to her, sipped the soup in front of her and asked.

“But when are you going to have the party?”

“Tomorrow and the day after? I plan to call the people from the nearby estates and business partners.”

“Can I call you that? Isn’t it quite a distance?”

“It’s okay because there are quite a few people who will participate in the market or auction.”

So what can I do? I can only nod my head.

Lee Han put the food in his mouth without saying anything.

Sailor had previously said that the chef in his domain was very good at cooking.

As it turns out, the food was quite tasty.

“Mr. Lee Han. What do you think?”

“There are many good dishes. Especially this oxtail stew… … .”

“Haha. Right? How about taking the recipe with you when you go back?”

“If you give it to me, I will gratefully accept it.”

“Hohoho! What!”

“And if possible, I’d like to make some dessert for the party. Is that okay?”

“Oh. Isn’t it too much trouble… … .”

Usually, at parties, we make a lot of simple dessert dishes that can be eaten standing up.

Lee Han has excellent cooking skills, so it would be a great help if he could help, but Lee Han also has to join the party.

Sailor was about to decline, thinking that it would be a waste of time, but Lee Han’s gaze was intense.

“Then I ask you to do so.”

“Do you want to learn how to make elven desserts?”

“Yeah. It’s a good opportunity.”

I can’t stand the idea of ​​the variety of dishes I can make increasing.

As Lee Han showed his determination, Tree applauded lightly.

“I’ll help you too.”

“Will you do that?”

Sailor fidgeted at the mention of going all the way to the tree to make desserts.

I wanted to go there too, but I wasn’t very good at cooking.

Desserts in particular require delicate touch, but Sailor also knew that she did not have that skill.

“Then let’s go to the auction house together.”

“Auction house?”

“I’m going to see if there are any crops that Lee Han needs. I know all about the crops that Daesurim is growing, so let’s go look for what’s missing.”

“Ah. Okay. Let me ask you something about that. Explain.”

“Don’t worry, cat.”

Sailor nodded slightly after seeing the explanation’s confident expression.

Seeing good things? I’m more confident than anyone else about that.

“Then leave the rest to me!”

The next morning, Lee Han and Tree headed to the kitchen.

Sailor, who saw them enter the kitchen, hugged the explanation as if it was natural.

“Let’s go to the market first.”

“huh!”

With this explanation, Sailor headed to the market in the territory.

The Hwarien Territory was considered a commercial center even in the Elf Kingdom.

The Hwarien Territory, located slightly above the center of the Elf Kingdom, was located at the center of the river and wide road dividing the kingdom, making it convenient for trading goods from various places.

As if to prove it, the huge market had many items for sale from each territory of the elven kingdom.

“Here! Cheap! Cheap! The special elven silk produced only in the Torobain Territory is very cheap~!”

“For sale is pork from Lard Estate! It’s plump and very tasty~!”

“Selling beef jerky! Beef jerky!!”

Hearing the cries of merchants echoing here and there, Sailor headed towards the direction of selling crops and seeds.

Although not a large scale, quite a variety of crops were being traded.

“Hmm… … There are a lot of interesting spices.”

“Are you buying them all?”

“There are some, too. This and this. I think I should buy this and this. And what’s that?”

“Ah. That’s a fruit called rose. It’s a sweet and refreshing fruit.”

“Can’t I just buy the seeds separately?”

“That might be a bit difficult. Maybe I should just buy it whole and pick out the seeds?”

After purchasing the necessities from the market, Sailor handed over her now quite large luggage to her escort.

“Then shall we go to the auction house now?”

“Are there any crops sold at the auction house?”

“Yeah. They sell valuables there.”

“What is that precious thing? Is it different from what we have here?”

“Most of what is sold here are leftovers from the lands that received Gaia’s grace. However, what is sold at the auction house are things that grew wild in the mountains or fields. Some of them are things like elixirs.”

“If it’s an elixir, are you talking about something that greatly increases magical power or instantly heals injuries?”

The elixir is so rare that it is very rare to actually see it.

Sailor was surprised because he had only seen the explanation a few times and spoke proudly.

“I heard there’s a rumor going around that there’s going to be an elixir at this auction. What do you think? Are you interested?”

“I’m interested!”

“Then let’s go.”

Sailor and I headed to the auction house.

Unlike the market, there were quite a few carriages in the auction house.

Nobles and merchants from all over came to participate in the auction.

“Sailor, you’re here.”

“Nice to meet you, Sailor.”

Many people greeted Sailor, the owner of the Hwarien territory and the owner of a large merchant group.

Yesterday, while changing Tree’s clothes, Palbulchul, who was so happy he didn’t know what to do, went away and a noble nobleman remained.

Seolhyun smiled playfully at her haughty and arrogant appearance.

“Show me this kind of appearance more often.”

“Ohhohoho~! Actually, that’s how I originally looked back then! Living as a noble and a merchant is tiring!”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. That’s why my experience in Daesurim was like a dream to me.”

How nice it felt to be able to live without worrying about what other people thought.

Sailor smiled broadly and patted Deul-i’s back as she entered the auction house.

People started coming in to bid and soon the auction began in earnest.

Precious equipment, ceramics, jewels, trinkets, and other such items are sold briskly.

When Sailor, who had made quite a profit from selling pottery, smiled.

“Here! A very valuable item has come up for auction today! This is it!”

A large box is placed in the auction house.

As everyone looked puzzled, the auctioneer confidently shouted.

“The easternmost tip of the continent! This is the herb that the expedition team risked their lives to obtain from the Highland Mountains! That’s it!!”

The box opens and its contents are revealed.

The eyes of those who saw it widened.

It had to be that way.

What was inside the box was a herb that resembled a human being.

It is a medicinal herb that resembles a person, with many fruits hanging from the long grass part at the top.

But what was different from the doll herb was that a gentle cold air was spreading out from the herb.

“That’s right! It’s Pyeonghwa Seolsam!!”

The gossip grew louder at the mention of the doll.

Doll Seol-sam.

An elixir that greatly increases magical power and, when fed to someone who is on the verge of death, can instantly restore their vitality and save their life.

I never thought it would come up for auction.

The shock was short-lived. People desperately raised their hands.

“A million gold!”

“Two million gold!”

In an instant, the atmosphere in the auction house heated up. Everyone was boldly raising their bids.

Sailor patted the explanation’s back.

“That. Would you like it if I brought it to you?”

“Of course! I have never grown an elixir before!”

“then…….”

The sailor raised her hand confidently when she heard the price, which had already risen to fifty million gold.

“100 million gold.”

The heated atmosphere in the auction house froze in an instant at her words.
