บท 169: Veridian Blossom Apothecaries

As they approached the Apothecaries, the scent of flowers wafted through the air, surprising Alice. She had expected the heavy smell of medicine or iron, yet the fragrance of herbs and botanicals was all she could smell.

The shop was adorned with potted plants and hanging baskets filled with herbs. From the outside, it seemed no different from the residential homes used by the civilians, but the large sign above the door and the wooden emblem hanging on chains told a different story.

Pushing open the door, a melodic chime rang out as Alice and Ria stepped through.

Inside, the apothecary was a large open space separated in the middle by a worn counter. The counter showcased an array of delicate glass vials containing a myriad of blood and tinctures. Each bottle was hand-labeled, detailing the effects, side effects as well as the price of the vial.
