Of course, this could also have been bait. Plenty of Beyonders, and even ordinary people, knew the names of Sequence 9 Potions. They did not need to know a Potion's complete formula to post an offer to sell it.

Second, completing her acting as an "Assassin" within a month would be far too shocking and would inevitably draw the attention of the Church's higher-ups.
Rather than take those risks, she would prefer to save
