Louis lightly ran his fingers over the notebook's pages, his eyes swiftly scanning line after line of information on resources.
But what truly stopped his gaze was a line specially circled in red ink.

But a Battle Aura supplement like this could slowly nourish them and stabilize their circulation. Even if its effects were slight, they would accumulate over time, quietly nurturing the body.
Something like this could fetch an astronomical price on the market!
"Of course, I can't let it go easily," Louis murmured. "A resource like this... must remain entirely under my control."
His mind immediately turned to the Frostblood Redberry orchard in Red Tide Fief, which was nearing maturity.

Not only could it directly strengthen Battle Aura, but it also helped break through bottlenecks, compressing stages that normally took
