Chapter 77: Toxic to the Core

Marni Wilf trudged through the snow with his caravan.

He was leaving Lancaster City.

It wasn't that he couldn't move directly from the city to the underground stronghold. What he was worried about was that he might have attracted some unfriendly attention after he began selling those two new potions.
