Exotic resources

11th July 1574

"Sir, while I'm happy to accept this trade…"

With a quick swipe of his hand, the pouch with the payment was instantly replaced with another one that most likely contained the weeds that I wanted so much with a simple, wooden pipe placed on top. 

"... I don't really think I will be capable of supporting any other requests of yours. While I'm one of the few merchants that are daring enough to provide those exotic goods, doing so is insanely expensive. That's why, I don't think creating any stable trading route will be possible, if that's sir's intention!"

As if reading my mind, the man instantly refuted one of my greatest wishes as if it was nothing. While I could see where he was coming from and what kind of troubles he had to face in order to obtain those precious resources, I wasn't going to give up just like that!
