Valletta kept her mouth shut.

‘It’s no wonder they’re not speaking about the under route so recklessly.’

It must be a route that they are holding onto at all cost.

In particular, alchemists who were not affiliated with the Imperial Palace were very hostile to the Imperial palace.

When the Imperial Palace finds out where an alchemist was, they threaten them by taking their family and friends as hostages, then convince them to come out and force them to register as an alchemist.

To be registered to the Official Alchemist Association, meant you will now belong to the Empire.

And it also meant that they could not refuse their order. Their sensitivity was understandable.

After briefly thinking, she nodded her head.

She didn’t like arguing, and she really did run away, making her feel weird.

“It was our first meeting and I was rude. Excuse me.”

The old lady’s eyes narrowed at Valletta’s words, who gently retreated.

“But I don’t have money to spend right now. You can give me as much as you can and then dispose of it under.”

Valletta pushed the jewel a little further in.

The old lady sighed and took a heavy wooden box from her cupboard, and handed it to Valletta.

“This is all I can give you now. If you sell it properly, you can get four times more for this jewel. Are you really going to dispose of it?”

‘… If I sell all of these, then I can play and eat for the rest of my life.’

Valletta thought after hearing the old lady’s explanation.

The box the old lady held out was full of gold coins. She was not sure about the value of the money, but seeing it full of sparkling gold coins, it didn’t seem like it was just a penny or two.

She wasn’t expecting too much anyway, so it was enough for Valletta.

Besides, she knows that Reinhardt, as the Master of the Tower, will not be in need immediately even if he lost this many gems.

“Yes.” Valletta answered briefly.

She then reached out and put a coin in a cloth pocket and a bill in a paper bag, giving the shopkeeper a light glance.

“Why are you looking for the Alchemist Association?”


“I need a token and some information. I want to open a store.”

“… A store?”
