Our protagonist came from a broken family and because of that, made his life a total wreck. To top it off, while on his way home, he got shot and killed when he fought a robber.
He thought that it was the end. Until he was reincarnated into a differ...
Before we left Gaushorn I brought a horse using five gold coins that I've received from Stella as payment for the crystals. I could've only paid 300 silver if I told the owner that I was going to rent it, but since I don't plan on returning I just brought the horse outright.
The main reason is I don't want them to come running to Stella or Henry and demanding them to pay up. I am not fond of being remembered negatively after all that they have done for us.
"Angelica." [Matthew]
"Yes, Matt?" [Angelica]
"How long are we going to do this?" [Matthew]
Due to Henry uncovering my identity we've constantly avoided settlements day and night. Because I wasn't certain whether he had the balls or not to contact the Corps but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Also, even though I hadn't told him of our next destination they could easily get on our tail once they found out that we had been there. Since I had sold most of the magic crystals that I have it is only a matter of time before those are discovered.
(Tokk-tokk... crush... crunch...)
"Hey, Matt I have been wondering for some time now. What's that you're crushing in the pestle?" [Angelica]
The same as me before we left he also bought a ton of herbs from the herbalist that it almost made his bag overflow. I didn't mind the additional weight and stuff but the smell of these herbs is hellishly overpowering.
"Ah, this? It's a berserker leaf." [Matthew]
Berserker leaf? I looked inside the pestle and saw a blood-colored paste with a few remaining residues of a leaf. As Matthew noticed my clueless expression he took out a single leaf from his bag and began explaining what it is for.
"This is the berserker leaf it is mostly used for gambling purposes, particularly for blood sporting animals/monsters." [Matthew]
"So I can guess from the name that they went berserk after consuming the leaf am I correct?" [Angelica]
"Yes, but that's not all. When an animal or monster ingests this their strength is increased many times over but at a price..." [Matthew]
"Which is?" [Angelica]
"It would lose its sanity and make it hostile to almost everything even to the same species." [Matthew]
"Oh, okay... now I want to ask... WHY-THE-HECK-ARE-YOU-HANDLING-SOMETHING-SO-DANGEROUS?!" [Angelica]
