The Elders gathered at the front of the room sat silent for nearly a minute as they tried to decide how they were going to deal with this situation. Clearly, they had to do something, as the whole Clan was in an uproar about the new potion and pills.
But there were no more to give out, and the word had spread before they had even gotten time to stockpile the ingredients.
Normally, when a development like this was made, they would find out years in advance, set missions to stockpile the resources, and then make it known to the Clan.
But now?
Not only had word spread throughout the new home merchant clan, it had spread to everyone who was waiting for the dungeon in the Blackwoods village.
And that was the last thing that they wanted.
The world would know that the Darklight Host and the New Home Merchant Clan had developed new alchemy recipes together soon, and that meant they would come looking for them.
Either to buy them or to steal the recipe.
Naturally, everyone assumed that the weakest link in this risk would be Remi. The Naga kept the appearance of a young girl of her species, with a snake body thinner than most men’s legs, and a dainty appearance.
If you could ignore the fact that she looked like a cobra with four arms wearing alchemy robes.
"We need to begin the process of gathering resources for the new recipes, but we cannot let the world know what special resources are needed for these pills. How do you presume to overcome this issue, Elder Socrate?" Clan Leader Nerissa finally asked.
Socrate smiled back at her. "Clan Leader, we have already gathered sufficient resources for over a thousand doses. The issue is the timing. We were remiss in our duty to caution the children not to spread the word.
However, with the testing successfully completed in the first round, we have enough materials to continue the work.
However, it will take time.
The potions can be mass produced by those with sufficient skills in Runic Alchemy. But the pills need a true master. The first ones were made by the Supreme Pill Master of the Darklight Host, and anyone without that level of experience will struggle to replicate them, as they can only be made at Epic Grade, and any lesser attempts will fail with the substitute reagents."
That would calm down the crowd a little.
Not nearly as much as they had hoped, as the Elders quickly realized. Yes, an Epic Grade pill was valuable in the extreme. But for the future of their children? Any parent would pay that price, and they could consider it part of the standard training resources that the younger members of the Clan needed.
Parents would work hard for it. Orphans would grind quests for it, and those transferred from the mortal worlds would do anything that they could to get their hands on it.
