"Interesting."
Monroe Brisegio reacted with his usual phrase, intrigued by Link's theory,
"Go on, elaborate."
Saying this, Monroe Brisegio quickly drew out a full set of commonly used botany experiment equipment from a leather bag on his left waist and put it on the ground, "Here's the down payment, hang on to it. If the rest of your idea proves more valuable, there's more coming."
This casual behavior highlighted one thing - he was flaunting his wealth!
Link, having no qualms, directly packed up the miniaturized botany equipment (professionally compressed for easy carrying and ready for use at full size when needed) into his larger bag.
He had several reasons to see Elise.
Seeking cooperation (?) was one, trying to gather the experiment equipment was another.
