Delivery

"Throw the remaining seven bags to Horus," Carlos said. "Use this one to pack them up. These weeds can still be somewhat useful, so let's not waste them."

"Go rest first, I'll go get the medicine for you."

After finishing his words, Carlos disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the spot where Carlos disappeared, Horus breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "It seems that my fate was not meant to be extinguished. I have been saved by Mr. Six twice when I was in mortal danger."

Horus walked towards the cave with those few sacks in his hands, while making up his mind to repay Mr. Six's kindness in the future.

.....

Red Leaf Academy.

After Carlos returned to the room, he let out a sigh of relief.

Although he appeared calm just now, his heart was pounding heavily, afraid that he might be killed by those people if he made a wrong move.

Whether it is the people of Horus or the Hurricane Mercenary Corps, they are all high-ranking magicians. Carlos is no match for them.

With that injury to Horus, he will need at least ten days to half a month of rest.

Upon thinking about it, Carlos did not immediately deal with the herbs in the room. Instead, he went to fetch some medicine for treating external injuries and wrote a letter.

Then he used a marked cloth bag to pack the medicine, and instantly transported it to Horus' cave.

.....

In the cave, Horus had just laid down to rest. Suddenly, a bag appeared out of thin air on his right side.

He was stunned, and Horus quickly realized that it was Mr. Six who had sent it.

He quickly opened the bag and found several types of first aid medicine, as well as food and water. In addition, there were several sheets of paper wrapped in silver-gray mist.

The footer of all seven sheets of paper is numbered, but only one sheet contains content, while the other six are blank.

Please use these medicines for now, and I will prepare better ones for you in the future. Recently, I need to go to the capital city to make preparations for the barren land in the Misty Forest, so I won't be able to go to the forest temporarily. If you have any needs or if there are any situations around the cave, you can write them down on paper. I will collect one note per day according to their order.

After reading it, Horus picked up a pen and began writing the first letter.

Mr. Six said that he is going to the capital recently, so Horus wants to try asking him for help in finding someone.

.....

Red leaf Academy.

After Carlos dealt with Horus's situation, he temporarily ignored the matter.

He wants to wait until tonight to retrieve the first piece of paper and see what Horus has written.

He arranged it this way in order to gradually place Horus there. By delivering medicine or doing things within his capabilities, Carlos can then have an excuse to ask Horus for help in cultivating and guarding that 'territory'.

Now... let's exchange all the herbs on hand for money first!

After roughly outlining the plan, Carlos re-labeled ten sacks. Then, just like last time, he teleported to the artificial forest on the outskirts of the capital city and took a carriage from there to enter Adley City within the capital.

After entering the city, Carlos didn't rush to buy medicinal herbs. Instead, he planned to first go and see houses. He believed that every time he was teleported to the capital, he shouldn't have to run to the outskirts.

So he plans to rent a house within the capital city and then mark it. In the future, when he wants to come back to Adley City, he can directly teleport into the house. Carlos, who had lived in the capital city for three years before, has some understanding of the housing market and spent 5 gold coins to rent a decent house.

Wearing a black round-brimmed hat to cover his grayish-white curly hair, Carlos walked into an herbal medicine shop carrying a backpack. He also wore round-framed glasses to conceal the deep eye sockets.

It was still the same shop as before. At first, the owner didn't recognize Carlos and just thought he was an ordinary customer.

Until Carlos casually placed his backpack on the counter and revealed the white orchid inside, the shop owner instantly remembered.

"Mr. Six! Welcome back again!"

He came out from behind the counter with a smile on his face and slightly bowed, inviting Carlos into the inner room.

Carlos gestured with his hand, indicating that there was no need to enter the interior of the house. He softly nudged the backpack on top of the counter forward and spoke in a low, muffled voice, saying, "White Orchids, 300 plants!"

The shop owner's heart started pounding when he heard the sentence, and he stared at the cloth bag, unable to speak for a moment. It had only been a few days, yet Mr. Six had sent another large batch of white orchids, and the quantity was twice as much as last time.

It would take at least ten days to go to the Misty Forest and return here. How did he manage to get these in such a short time?

Carlos saw the shop owner standing still and asked in confusion, "Don't you accept these? Then I'll go somewhere else."

He reached out and tried to take the cloth bag back.

"Wait , I'll take all of these."

The shopkeeper quickly picked up the cloth bag before Carlos could touch it, and with a slight smile said, "No matter how many white orchids Mr. Six has, our small shop will gladly accept them!"

Since the last batch of white orchids was resold, this shop owner has made quite a profit. He bought them from Mr. Six for 18 gold coins and sold them for an average price of 23 gold coins per plant.

And he has verified it afterwards, Mr. Six's white orchid is definitely pure wild from the Misty Forest, with no quality issues.

The fact that another batch has been delivered in such a short interval indicates that Mr. Six has a stable source of supply. The shop owner speculates that Mr. Six may only be a representative responsible for selling medicinal herbs, and behind him, there must be a powerful team, at least two mercenary squads capable of freely entering and exiting the depths of the Misty Forest, or even more!

Without waiting for Carlos to speak, the shop owner took the initiative to mention.

"Mr. Six, I promised you last time that as long as you can continue to provide the same quality of white orchids, our store is even willing to purchase them at a price of 20 gold coins per unit. I will not break my word on this. Please wait a moment while I quickly inspect the goods."

"Then you can do as you please."

It took about ten minutes for the shop owner to quickly inspect the 300 white orchids. Although there were over twenty plants with damaged roots due to Carlos' rough picking, the shop owner still calculated the price at 20 gold coins per plant as a gesture of goodwill.
