Chapter 140: Apache's Test

The potions Rita had to prepare involved nearly 1,300 different herbs, all of which Apache had previously taught her about. Rita handed Kayden a bag of gold coins, asking her to run to the neighboring herb store whenever she needed more supplies.

Apache didn't leave to drink or smoke. Instead, she stood by the cauldron, arms crossed, watching closely as Rita brewed each potion, observing the process and the results.

During the brief periods of instability when Lania Kaia was linked with Earth, many people came to Apache to learn alchemy. In those days, like the other Twelve Saints of Lania Kaia, Apache was bound by the rules. She was required to impart knowledge to the Earthlings who sought her out, and with just a small payment of gold, they could buy her professional expertise.
