36 Potions!

Chapter 36

Sirius realized what he had overlooked. He forgot to buy potions.

After seeing the adventurers on the street, he remembered it.

So, without any further ado, he made a detour to buy some potions.

After all, potions are life-saving consumables. As a new adventurer, he won't feel at ease without them.

10 minutes later, he arrived in front of a familiar white building with Dian Cecht's symbol.

Dian Cecht Familia is well-known for its pharmacy and medical service.

They sell and provide various potions and healing services. They can also make custom prosthetics for their customer.

The only downside is that the cost of their service is often very high.

Nonetheless, Dian Cecht Familia still has an excellent reputation among the adventurers.

After all, nobody is foolish enough to offend a doctor who may save their life in the future.

And Amid Teasanare from this familia is a famous healer in Orario.

Her unique magic, 'Dia Fratel', is top-class healing magic capable of healing anything such as wounds, stamina, status ailments, and curses in a 5-meter radius.

After all, her alias 'Dea Saint' was not given without reason.

After entering the pharmacy, a staff girl from the familia greeted him.

"Hello, guest. What can I help you with?" The pharmacy staff asked him politely.

As one of the best pharmacies in Orario, Dian Cecht Familia also employs some workers in their place.

Amid is mainly responsible for business negotiations, while other members of her familia do the rest of the trivial tasks.

Sirius thinks Amid is the main reason for Dian Cecht Familia's current success.

Amid is also an accomplished adventurer and skillful negotiator despite being a doctor. She is a capable leader in charge of her familia.

"Well, I want to buy some potions." Sirius felt weird about why he didn't find any staff yesterday but answered politely.

"Then please go to the counter, guest. Amid-san is responsible for the business." The staff girl nodded and instructed him.

"Thank you. I'll go there." Sirius nodded and went to the counter.

He found familiar silver-haired beauty with an expressionless face.

Amid also detected his presence and recognized him.

"Oh, you are the guy from yesterday. What business do you have today, mister? Or should I call you by your name directly?" Amid politely asked. She didn't want to be rude to her customers.

"Please call me by my name directly, Amid-san." Sirius allowed her to drop the formalities.

"Today, I'm here to buy some potions." Sirius didn't want to waste any time and got straight to the point.

"Okay, what type of Potion do you want? And how many?" Amid nodded and questioned him.

"Well, I'm a new adventurer. So, can you tell me their price and effects?" Sirius rubbed the back of his head and requested. He wanted to hear more information.

"Alright, Sirius! Ordinary Potion cost 500 valis. It can help you recover some health and stamina but it is useless for serious injury." Amid started her explanation.

"Next one is an Elixir. It is very expensive and can cure all wounds and status ailments in general, though it can't regenerate lost body parts. They cost at least 500,000 valis." Amid paused for a second and continued talking.

"Then there are Magic Potions costing anywhere around 5,000-20,000 valis depending on the quality. Drinking one can quickly help you recover your mental energy."

"There's also a stronger version of Potion called High Potion. Unlike a normal potion, it can clot blood, and save someone with deep gashes, broken bones, and other severe injuries. They cost 10,000 valis per one."

"And lastly, we also have a special Dual Potion that restores both health and mana. We are not the producer of this type of potion. So its price is 50,000 valis per vial." Amid finished her introduction and waited for his order.

"Thank you for the introduction. I would like you to buy 3 High Potions and 3 High Magic Potions then, Amid-san!" Sirius thought for a moment and decided to make a big purchase.

It was his second time in the dungeon, and there was no one to accompany him this time. So, he should be well-prepared.

Amid briefly smiled after hearing this and started processing his order. Her mood was better after a successful business.

…

After some time, Sirius sighed and walked out of the pharmacy. He put the potions in a special compartment of his backpack.

Most of his earnings from yesterday were spent on buying the Potion.

He didn't regret his decision, but he needed to make extra money to cover their expense.

Therefore, Sirius quickly went to the dungeon to earn some money.

Sirius was already familiar with the first few floors. Therefore, he wasted no time and took the shortest route toward the next floor.

ROAR!

Various roars of monsters resounded throughout the interconnected passageway of the dungeon.

Suddenly, a monster emerged from the dungeon wall and ambushed him.

Sirius responded quickly and grabbed his spear to stab the attacking monster.

The green-skinned monster died instantly after the stab and disintegrated into black ashes, dropping a magic stone.

The next moment, four more goblins emerged from the wall and attacked Sirius.

Sirius skillfully handled his weapon and quickly eliminated them.

After flicking his spear, Sirius looked at the dropped magic stones and sighed.

"Alas, it's so troublesome to pick up magic stones. It's a waste of my time…" Sirius complained while picking them up. He already started missing Raul.

Raul was a good supporter. Strong, honest, and easy to get along with!

"It's almost been an hour since I entered the dungeon. I should be on the sixth floor now…." Sirius muttered while judging his situation.

The next moment, a group of dark humanoid monsters materialized from the dungeon wall confirming his guess.

The monster had long arms with three claws that were sharp like knives.

Sirius quickly recognized them, War Shadow.

They are the strongest monster on the 6th Floor.

Along with Killer Ant, they are known as "newbie killers" for killing a lot of newbie adventurers.

If several of them attacked him at once, even he would feel some trouble.

But that's only in close combat. After all, he's not only a warrior but also a mage.

"Center of Earth!"

Sirius didn't hesitate to use his magic to summon a Stone Pillar and applied a geo shield to him.

A rock pillar emerged from the ground and struck two unsuspecting war shadows.

Sirius quickly grabbed his spear and fought the remaining ones.

The rock pillar also sent out some shockwaves, making the monsters unable to stand correctly.

Under his skillful operation, all the monsters were eliminated, leaving behind their magic stones and some drop items.

While picking up the spoils of his battle, Sirius also noticed his abnormal luck.

Yesterday, Raul was responsible for picking up the drops, so he didn't care much about it.

But today, he had to admit that he was very lucky.

He learned from his seniors that the chances of drop items are meager.

But, this is not the case for him. His chance of getting drop items is obviously very high.

In his previous life, many otakus often referred to spearmen as an unlucky profession.

After all, many spearmen in the Type-Moon series have the worst Luck of E.

Fortunately, he didn't inherit such lousy luck from his profession.

Sirius also collected some drop items from the previous floors, almost filling a compartment of his backpack.

'Maybe, I can get rich picking up drop items?' Sirius pondered in the process.

Drop items are rare and expensive.

Their value on the upper floor is usually above 1,000 valis.

So, what about the middle floors?

And the deeper floors?

Some craftsmen even spend millions of valis to buy rare drop items and materials from lower floors.

The lower you go, the more expensive drop items will be.

With such beautiful dreams, Sirius soon entered the eighth floor. The monsters on the seventh floor were not enough to stop him.
