Name Your Price

"Aiven, Apothecary Link and Sir Enzo, they've come to ask for your help."

Uncle Darby saw Aiven approaching and explained with a smile, a hint of pride in his tone.

From their polite demeanor, he could imagine how highly Aiven was regarded in their eyes!

"Help?" Aiven narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on Sir Enzo.

Seeing this, Link stepped in again, "Aiven, Sir Enzo's Luxray is poisoned, and he wants to ask if you can detoxify it."

After Link finished speaking, Sir Enzo lowered his head, afraid to look at Aiven, his heart completely in his throat.

Luxray, plus the Poisoned State, he definitely recognized it... Sir Enzo shouted frantically in his heart, wanting to say something, but unable to open his mouth.

He cautiously raised his head and suddenly realized that Aiven hadn't answered directly. Instead, he was slowly walking towards the Ironclad Rhinoceros pulling the carriage.

The Ironclad Rhinoceros stood rigidly, the heavy body of the carriage and the thick iron chains like straps pressing down on it, leaving deep indentations.

One had to know, the iron plating on an Ironclad Rhinoceros was not ordinarily hard. Such deep marks could not have formed without years of accumulation. Besides these, there were also whip marks on the Ironclad Rhinoceros, which were still fresh.

Clearly, to make good time, the other party must have been whipping the Ironclad Rhinoceros desperately.

"Aiven?"

Link asked doubtfully, seeing Aiven's lack of a direct answer.

"A poisoned Luxray, is that right?" Aiven snapped back to attention, falling into thought.

Sir Enzo, still with his head lowered, added from the side, "As long as the Luxray can be cured, Mr. Aiven can name any condition."

Any condition I want... Aiven was silent for a long time before nodding, "Let me see first, I might not be able to detoxify it."

Upon hearing Aiven's words, Sir Enzo's head shot up, his face filled with ecstatic joy, roaring in his heart, "You can do it, you definitely can!"

"Then let's hurry onto the carriage," Link said happily, thinking to himself that Aiven was quite considerate, agreeing just because he asked.

"Okay."

Aiven nodded, then patted the Ironclad Rhinoceros's body and said softly, "You'll have to work hard again. Drink this."

As he spoke, he took out a Healing Potion from his backpack and, under the Ironclad Rhinoceros's numb gaze, poured the Healing Potion into its mouth.

Immediately, the Ironclad Rhinoceros felt a warm current appear within its body, dispelling its fatigue and the pain from its skin, bringing a glimmer of spirit to its eyes.

"Aiven, you're as good to Magical Beasts as ever," Link remarked with emotion. He remembered that time at the Baron's house, Aiven had come to save the Petilil.

Without explanation, Aiven got onto the carriage. However, he didn't enter the carriage compartment but sat beside the coachman. "I'll drive."

The coachman looked bewildered, then looked at the equally bewildered Sir Enzo, who nodded at him.

Don't say anything unnecessary, just do as he says... Sir Enzo shouted in his heart. He was now deeply afraid that Aiven would bring up the Luxray and the poisoning.

No matter what, they had to get him back first. Once they were home, they would have more leverage for negotiations.

While they were talking, a breathless little Andy also came running with the Petilil and Mukkuru, and saw Aiven sitting on the carriage.

"That Petilil..."

Sir Enzo's heart tightened again. It was this Petilil that possessed a poison that no one could cure!

Now, in the eyes of this Sir, the Petilil was already the most poisonous substance in the world.

Even if he had a chance to snatch the Petilil now, he wouldn't dare to use it to concoct a Panacea.

Who knew if the potion brewed later would also turn into an incurable poison? The thought alone sent a chill down his spine!

Then, his gaze fell on Mukkuru, and he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat fortunate.

Fortunately, he had kept a backup plan. If anything happened to this Mukkuru, this young Apothecary would surely become his mortal enemy!

"Doll, doll."

Seeing Aiven get on the carriage, the Petilil was startled and quickly jumped over, not wanting to be separated from Aiven.

"Alright, I'll bring you along this time," Aiven said with a smile.

The current Petilil was very different from before. With the Deadly Poison Technique, its combat power was also quite considerable.

"Ironclad Rhinoceros, let's go."

After bidding farewell to Uncle Darby and little Andy, Aiven, holding the Petilil, said to the Ironclad Rhinoceros in front of him.

Perhaps because of the Healing Potion earlier, the Ironclad Rhinoceros was very obedient, pulling the carriage and moving quickly.

At the start, one could see the reins completely sinking into the indentations on the Ironclad Rhinoceros's body, pulling it taut. The carriage thus began to move slowly.

Aiven sighed softly, took the whip, and entered the carriage, leaving the empty-handed coachman looking dazed.

The carriage moved slowly, and inside the carriage canopy, the atmosphere felt heavy, the surrounding air seeming to freeze.

Link gradually felt that the atmosphere was not right. He glanced at the two silent people inside the carriage and scratched his head, not knowing how to interject for a moment.

After a while, he felt that he should first explain the Luxray's condition to Aiven.

Listening to Link's explanation, Aiven nodded gently. He had already confirmed that the Luxray was the one that had attacked the farm yesterday.

However, he was somewhat surprised that no one in the City of Ambition could neutralize the Deadly Poison Potion he had concocted.

But then he thought about it. The Deadly Poison Technique could put the target into a Deadly Poison State, which was much harder to remove than the Poisoned State, so it wasn't surprising.
