"Should I contact Wizard Hyde directly and hand it over?"
Ian immediately fell into thought.
But he quickly rejected the idea, because it was simply too high-profile.
And that way, he could only claim the Magic Stones for analyzing the materials; he might not necessarily get the Magic Stones for the Antidote Potion.

Thus, after two days, they had
