Rita laid out a large tablecloth and placed all the food and wine from her bag onto it. Smiling gently, she said to Nivalis, "Eat up~"
Nivalis, already famished, didn't hesitate. She grabbed a piece of meat with her claw and started eating. Seeing Nivalis happily devouring the food, Rita quickly stood up. First, she wiped away Nivalis's name that was written in the dirt. Then, she began collecting the dragon's blood that had been spilled during the battle.
She carefully gathered the fresh blood from leaves into glass bottles. Dragon blood was an incredibly valuable alchemical material, practically impossible to find on Lania Kaia. Any blood that had soaked into the soil or solidified on the leaves, she scraped up along with the dirt and stored it in containers. Though these might not be usable for alchemy, they could still be sold for a fortune or used to gain favor with the government.
