Chapter 19 World of Magic and Swords 2
Bruggin hearing this was stunned from the sudden disgusting words, "If you're not my brother I will not going to share you, my piss. Just drink the damned thing and you will know" He retorted.
Valton was cautious, looking at the bottle and Brugging back and forth, "It's not poison right?" He asked with brows furrowed.
"Valton, are you really that stupid? We've drunk together on plenty of occasions. If I wanted to poison you, I would've done it a long time ago," Bruggin said.
Hearing this, Valton realized Bruggin was right, and his cautious demeanor faded. He picked up the bottle, inspected it, and a look of appreciation appeared on his face.
As an Alchemist this is the first time, he had seen a bottle to store a drink made of plastic and not glass. Even with his years of experience, the words engraved on it he could not understand wondering what it says.
Valton then opened the bottle cap then he slowly drinks it. As the first sip of the strange green liquid touched Valtor's tongue, his senses were immediately overwhelmed.
It was not cold but sharp, unlike any potion or brew he'd ever tasted. The fizz bubbled wildly in his mouth, crackling against his tongue like tiny bursts of energy. A shockingly sweet, citrusy flavor flooded his taste buds, tangy and bold, leaving a tingling sensation as it slid down his throat.
It was both invigorating and alien ['alien' I use because I find it fitted in this text], then a strange combination of flavors and sensations that made his heart race.
For a moment, he paused with his eyes wide, unsure if he had just consumed a magical concoction or some powerful alchemical elixir.
The drink felt electrifying, awakening something within him that left him craving more, even as he tried to make sense of the unfamiliar taste.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Even though it did not increase his stats but the flavor it could be consider a delicacy, Valton was filled with question as he looked at Bruggin who's smiling from ear to ear looking at him.
"Where did you get this?" Valton asked unknowingly.
"I've got this from an unknown adventurer, and he seems to have this, but he can only produce this in low margin. Now you've known the reason why I called you right" Brugging said looking at Valton intently.
Knowing the meaning in his words he replied, "So you want me to produce this kind of drink, by providing me samples?" Valton said with knowing his intention.
"Bingo! You nailed it" Bruggin said with thumbs up.
Valton was in a dilemma for a moment, even though an alchemist renowned throughout the kingdom the taste of this, brough him to a new light that even he did not know such drink actually exist.
But this is what he liked the most, the more mysterious it is the more he wanted it to discover. Not agreeing for a while he decided to inquire more about it.
"Who's the mysterious guy who sell this to you?" Valton inquired.
"As I mentioned, he's a mysterious one," Bruggin said.
"He wears a black cloak that hides his face and body. He only sells this to me, and he resupplies me with around seven sets every week. I buy them for 2 gold each, and I plan to resell them for 3 gold. I'll give you one set for research, and if you make a breakthrough, we'll split the profits 50-50. So, do we have a deal?"
Bruggin cleverly concealed the true identity of the system and the real price of the drink, even fabricating Alexander as a mysterious merchant. Well Alexander existence truly is mysterious, since his from another realm and only doing some trade.
Unable to find any fault in Bruggin's words and recognizing the potential profits if this product hit the market, Valton decided to agree.
"When do you plan to sell this?" Valton asked.
"Next week when I've received another supply of this. I want to make it grand so more people can buy as the stock run out, they will increase the price from the original one knowing how scarce it is" Bruggin said cunningly.
Valton nodded for he knows that noble and even the king will love this if it was put in sell, "Then give me 1 set for this drink and I'll do my research right away"
Without any hesitation, "Sure here" Bruggin said as he took a whole set of Mountain Dew in his system storage.
Seeing this Valton could not help but be envious, having an affinity for space is really a cool one. Not only it's good for travelling but it even has a great ability to escape in crisis, but its best used is when it comes to storing items.
As 1 tray of Mountain Dew was placed in the table Valton then hurriedly put it in his storage pouch, which is also made of space element. He was in a haste afraid that someone will take it from him.
Seeing his actions Bruggin smiled while thinking about next week plans, he needs to make an advertising and a grand unveiling at that.
"I should get going now, I want to study this unknown drink. I'll call you from the call stone when it was done" Valton said as he stood up leaving the shop.
He flew up opening the window in the office, as he was floating there seems to be a wisp of air surrounding him. In this world it's like very normal to fly or even store items in an empty space.
Bruggin did not stop seeing how excited he is to uncover its secret, also it was in his best interest if he ever uncovers it.
He then looked at his ceiling wondering what another surprised this 'AlexanderTheGrate' will bring to him.
Talking about Alex he was in a haste running from the sideroad with formal clothes afraid that he may be late from second day.
