• Balielunduo understood that Logo was cultivating ties with the tribe but felt the potion’s benefits to its cubs made the offer impossible to refuse.

Logo secured a large Gale Potion order from the Gale Demon Wolf Tribe and planned the resources needed to produce the potions cheaply. Meanwhile, three True Dragons destroyed the city under construction on an island before leaving to investigate the Three-Eyed People, sparing the Underdark from an attack for now.

• Logo promised to deliver 500,000 Gale Potions to the Gale Demon Wolf Tribe within six months and explained that synthetic materials would let him profit despite the low price.

• Duweier and Veronica stopped Emilia from attacking the Underdark, and the dragons departed to investigate the Three-Eyed People before seeking further revenge.

Logo reached a trade agreement with Shake, securing a future supply of raw materials for the Underdark. He then joined Annabelle to begin dissecting Madam Poison, leaving her in intense pain as the experiment started.

• Logo agreed to supply Shake with alchemical products in two months, and Shake promised to send raw materials through the passage the next day.
• Shake dismissed his suspicions about Logo and restrained his greed, remembering how close his past embezzlement had brought him to death.
