Chapter 39: Black Nightshade

The carts soon arrived in a walled storage house a distance away from the market.

'This seems to be the place where they will meet that Connor guy. Tsk. Is there no way to see him before he comes here?'

Oriana was worried. From her understanding so far, Ron and his group were amassing all kinds of precious herbs. If she failed here, even if she were to travel to other cities, she probably would never find even a single stalk of black nightshade. Ron's group was supported by a large merchant group and by corrupt nobles. More guards would be deployed once they secured the banned herbs. It would be impossible to steal directly from them.

Her only option was to get black nightshade from Connor, the source.

The carts entered inside the huge wooden double-sided doors which opened into a two-storey storage house. 

Since the sun had set, Oriana skillfully climbed through the walls unnoticed and found a place to hide inside.
