Chapter 15

It was a flower that radiated a bright, black glow.

What Janet, the Merchant of Madness, pulled out was a Shadow Flower.

"I'm sure you wouldn't know the value of this item, but I don't normally sell this to first-time customers, alright?"

"...A flower?"

"That's right! It's a flower that still radiantly glows light even though it's been a decade since it was picked. A Shadow Flower."

[[Shadow Flower]

Quality: Rare

Recommended Level: N/A

Weight: 0.1kg

Even though they grow in Flegueria, there is a good chance you won't ever see this flower unless you are lucky.

Bonus Effect: You can forcibly use Shadow Summon on a much stronger opponent once. The summoner will be considered 10 levels higher when using this item. If the Shadow Summon would still be unsuccessful with an increase of 10 levels, Shadow Summon will fail.]

'I can get a Shadow Flower... this early?'

Seol knew that item well.

It was an item that was somewhat comparable to a volatile skill.

It was in the same category as a scroll with a power spell imbued into it or a potion that gave your superhuman strength to escape a dangerous situation.

These items played a huge role in critical moments in turning a failing Adventure into a success.

'And more importantly, right now, there was nothing bad about having it on hand.'

All he had to do was hold onto it and eventually find a moment to use it.

Janet was reading Seol's reactions.

Seol pretended to be apathetic since as long as there were other Merchants of Madness, he didn't have to rush to a deal right away with Janet.

"What do you think ab–"

"How much is it?"

"It's exactly 3,000 Madness. It seems you realized the value of it, yes?"

"..."

"D-Don't you think it's too expensive?"

Seol was contemplating right now.

The item was certainly valuable but the two items that he had already picked out earlier were quite convenient. Since Seol didn't know how valuable Madness was, it was hard to make a decision.

'Is it expensive or cheap for the price?'

As Seol furrowed his brows, Janet came to him with a proposal first.

"Then... if you purchase the Shadow Flower, I'll give you the items that you purchased earlier for free. How does that sound?"

"Both the seasoning jar and the ingredients pouch?"

"Yes! But I'm sure you're already aware that those items are worth over 600 Madness, right?"

Before Seol could nod in response, Janet continued.

"But, I want you to promise that you'll only trade with me next time."

"Next time?"

"Since I'll be taking a slight loss, I want to make up for it with consistent trades. Don't you think that's fair?"

Seol saw through what Janet was saying and nodded.

"So you don't want me to meet any other Merchants of Madness until the next time we meet, right?"
