Soon, they arrived at the viscount's manor.
Aiven dismounted at a leisurely pace and gave the Ironclad Rhinoceros another Healing Potion before walking towards the manor.
Sir Enzo was extremely anxious but dared not rush Aiven. He could only wait for Aiven to catch up before quickly heading towards the room.
"Apothecary Aiven, long time no see."
Inside the room, Master John and Master Olay looked towards the doorway. Upon seeing Aiven, they both smiled.
"Mr. John, Mr. Olay." Aiven bowed to the two masters with the etiquette of a junior before turning his gaze to the Luxray, which was still unconscious on the ground.
The Luxray still had purple spots on its body, though it looked less terrifying than before. Clearly, the two apothecaries had suppressed the poison.
However, they could only suppress it, not cure it. It wouldn't be long before the Luxray's poison acted up again.
"I'll trouble you, Mr. Aiven."
Just then, a gentle voice reached Aiven's ears.
He looked over and saw Phyllis, dressed in a purple dress, and was momentarily stunned.
The viscount's daughter was indeed very beautiful, especially with her purple dress and purple hair draped over her shoulders.
"Okay."
After a brief moment of distraction, Aiven came back to his senses and turned his gaze back to the Luxray on the ground.
"Mr. Aiven, can you cure it?" Sir Enzo asked somewhat nervously.
Although he knew Aiven could cure the Luxray, what he was really asking was how much Aiven would charge to cure it.
Aiven stepped forward to examine the Luxray's condition and made his final confirmation. This Luxray had been poisoned by a Petilil's Deadly Poison Technique.
The Petilil in his arms blinked its large, round eyes and turned to look at Aiven. The little one also recognized that this was its poison!
"I can cure it."
After his examination, Aiven gave a direct affirmative answer.
At this moment, everyone present, including the masters, was taken aback. They hadn't expected that Aiven could determine he could cure the poison just by looking.
After all, the two masters had spent a long time researching it but still couldn't figure it out.
Could it be that this Apothecary named Aiven was truly so much more skilled than them?
Sir Enzo was overjoyed. He knew Aiven had agreed to cure the poison, but he didn't rush Aiven to do it immediately. Instead, he adopted a listening posture.
As expected, he soon heard Aiven speak, but...
At this moment, all eyes turned to Aiven, wanting to see what conditions he would set.
Even the usually composed Phyllis showed a rare look of solemnity on her face.
When she saw Aiven enter carrying the Petilil, she had already confirmed her suspicions.
Her foolish younger brother had indeed gone to the other party's farm to steal the Petilil, which was why the Luxray had been poisoned so terribly!
However, since the other party was willing to come to their home, it meant they could help cure the Luxray, but there would undoubtedly be conditions.
She was now filled with trepidation about what conditions Aiven would propose. Besides the cure, there would surely be accountability and compensation.
"The Ironclad Rhinoceros, I want the Ironclad Rhinoceros carriage outside!"
Aiven surveyed the few people around him, a slight curve on his lips, and calmly stated his condition.
At this moment, he could clearly hear gasps of astonishment from those around him. They were truly stunned.
An Ironclad Rhinoceros carriage was worth hundreds of gold coins... Master John calculated the value of the carriage in his mind, his eyes wide.
He had always considered himself a greedy person, and his prices in the City of Ambition were the highest.
But compared to the young apothecary before him, he suddenly felt that his own prices were quite reasonable...
Apothecary Olay on the other side wore an expression of utter disbelief. For an apothecary, this price seemed too high.
He looked at Aiven suspiciously. Was this young apothecary also so greedy?
Link, however, remained relatively calm. The carriage and its furnishings had already made him feel that something was amiss, making him suspect that Aiven was deliberately quoting such a high price.
An Ironclad Rhinoceros carriage... this, this, this... Sir Enzo's face was contorted in pain. He knew Aiven would quote a high price, but this price was simply too high?
Choosing the Luxray or the Ironclad Rhinoceros carriage, Aiven seemed to have presented him with a difficult choice, tormenting his soul.
The Luxray was the main combat force of their family, and its importance was indeed much higher than that of the Ironclad Rhinoceros. However, the Ironclad Rhinoceros carriage was also a symbol of the family's status.
His heart aching, he wished he could have this Aiven arrested and forced to hand over the antidote!
Of course, this was just a thought. He didn't dare to do it. Neither Aiven's identity nor the viscount's family honor would allow him to do so!
