"Kid... You don't know what you've done. Even if you had ten alchemists with you, the amount they've given you is too much to make in two hours.
I would've completed the order myself, but three of my alchemists are Velthorne Academy students, and they refused because their monthly duels are coming early this month... I think it's in two days," the old man said.

"Here are your 600 empty vials, and those boxes over there are filled with Hermit and Limin Tree leaves.
All of this will cost you 14 silvers, with a 2 silver discount from my side, since I failed to complete the contract. I hope your alchemists can complete it in time, kid," the old man said.
