Ren proceeded to Maze Forest next after his short meeting with Lamir. He rounded a corner, and when he knew that he was alone, he put on [Phantom Cloak] and let out Pii.
The little creature flew happily in the air, finally getting out after so many weeks of confinement.
"Pii. I want you to find the [Queen's Fairy's Tomb]," Ren said to it. "And don't forget to alert me of foraging spots and hidden treasures."
Pii!
Pii let out a happy chirp of acknowledgment, and the little creature began leading Ren deeper into Maze Forest.
As it did so, Ren checked the items he auctioned to pass the time.
The Time Trap Device, Herbs Book, and Clockwork Dragon he got from the Mad Lab had sold for more than fifty million. The Clockwork Dragon alone was auctioned for more than twenty million, and the [Time Trap Devices] were sold for five million each.
If not stored in a preserving container, these items would rot inside their inventor in due time. Not even storing them inside of the Bank's vault would stop this decay.
Except for most materials that lasted forever, these consumable organic items had life expectancies. And the number one rule in Alchemy –– the fresher the ingredients, the more potent the potion.
