Baron seemed to recall some terrifying memories and quickly shook his head with a look of horror.

"By the way, what exactly did you call me here for this time? Surely it's not just to introduce young Herag to me," Vernon said, glancing at Herag.

Baron noticed that Vernon didn't seem to pay much attention to Herag, so he said, "Herag is a Level 1 Alchemist from our Magic Pharmacist Association."

"Hmm, quite impressive at such a young age," Vernon nodded, but did not pay much more attention.

The assessment for Level 1 Alchemist isn't that difficult; many people pass it.

But being so young shows that Herag indeed has good potential and is worth getting to know.

Baron continued, "Not only that, he's also a Level 1 Witch Array Master. More importantly, he obtained both certifications as a Level 1 Witch Array Master and Level 1 Alchemist within just a few months of arriving in the Land of Dawn."

"What?"

Vernon took a more serious look at Herag.

Becoming a Witch Array Master is not that easy; the profession heavily relies on talent, and most people find it difficult to pass the Level 1 Witch Array Master examination by the Witch Array Master Association.

This alone was enough to elevate Vernon's opinion of Herag by several levels.

What was more important was that Vernon keenly caught the crucial information in Baron's words.

Which was that Herag had only been in the Land of Dawn for a few months.

This statement is quite strange for people in the Land of Dawn, as everyone is born here.

Since Herag had only been in the Land of Dawn for a few months, he must have come from somewhere outside the Land of Dawn.

What's beyond the Land of Dawn?

The answer is obvious: the Barren Land.

There are almost no routes from the Barren Land to the Land of Dawn, except for a recent event that allowed access here.

That's the War of Opening against the Elf Plane, where the City Lord of Silver Moon City, Parker, was currently located.

As a capable merchant, Vernon naturally knew these details well.

He was also waiting for the results of the Plane Opening War, ready to expand his business there whenever the opportunity arose.

Making a fortune in plane wars is remarkably easy; a chance no merchant would miss.

Therefore, Vernon had always been interested in the Plane Opening War of the Elf Plane, and knew that recently, wizards from the Barren Land had come to the Land of Dawn due to their performance in the opening war.

Since Baron mentioned it this way, Herag must be a wizard from the Barren Land, who arrived in the Land of Dawn through the opening war assessment.

Based on the current situation, one could infer that Herag should be a formal member of Serlandir, which is why he appeared in Silver Moon City.

Level 1 Alchemist, Level 1 Witch Array Master, formal member of Serlandir, originating from the Barren Land; when these labels coincide with the young Herag before him, Vernon raised his glass to Herag: "An exceptional young man, welcome to the Land of Dawn!"

"Thank you!" Vernon offered a toast proactively, and Herag quickly picked up his glass with both hands and clinked it.

"Baron, my old friend, this young man is truly impressive," Vernon looked at Herag, seemingly thankful that Baron introduced him to Herag.

Baron smiled and said, "I knew you'd like him. Haven't you always wanted to open up a trade route to the Barren Land? Once Herag develops in the future, this might become achievable."

Vernon nodded, "Recently, the restrictions on the Barren Land by the Land of Dawn have eased somewhat, with signs of relaxation. The real connection between the two sides is probably not far off. When that day comes, I've got to set things up early; otherwise, I won't be able to seize the chance."

Merchants are always the most sensitive group to changes in the situation.

When the Land of Dawn established a plane war teleport point in the Barren Land and recruited promising wizards from there, many merchants noticed that this was an opportunity.

The control measures by the Land of Dawn over the Barren Land had always been stringent, with no open trade routes until now.

Trade between the Land of Dawn and the Barren Land can only occur via the official channels of the Six Great Wizard Organizations.

Merchants like Vernon had been unable to directly conduct trade between the two regions.

Not only could they not do business, but they were even prohibited from going there.

Only people from the Six Great Wizard Organizations were able to visit there through their own channels; others could forget about it.

For these merchants, if they could open up a trade route to the Barren Land, the profits could be incredibly lucrative, with plenty of business opportunities.

Thus, when the Six Great Wizard Organizations set up teleport points in the Barren Land, lots of merchants began to pay attention to these developments.

Upon learning that Herag was from the Barren Land, Vernon had many ideas.

Herag himself was excellent, and he came from the Barren Land.

With adequate investment, he could potentially bring unimaginable returns in the future.

Vernon is a merchant, and he understands that investment is essentially investing in people.

As long as the person is right, any temporary failure doesn't matter; success will eventually come.

Even if the investment fails, it wouldn't be much of a loss for Vernon—it's nothing significant.

Seeing Vernon finally realize Herag's potential, Baron smiled and said, "Herag mainly wants to find a channel to buy Magic Potion Materials at a cheaper price. Your place is pretty good for this, so I brought you here. How about giving a discount?"

"Of course, Herag, from now on, if you purchase Magic Potion Materials from me, all regular ordinary Magic Potion Materials will have a 20% discount. However, for some special Magic Potion Materials, we'll have to see, as I can't sell at a loss," Vernon said with a smile.

"20%? Thank you, Mr. Vernon. Thank you, Mr. Baron," Herag thanked quickly.

Over time, if many Magic Potion Materials are bought, the 20% discount could save a lot of money.

Vernon laughed, "It's a minor thing. However, you mustn't buy in bulk from my place. It's only for your personal use; if you're buying in large quantities to resell, I won't do business with you, so this needs to be clear."

"I wouldn't do such a thing, and I don't usually have the energy to handle these matters," Herag said.

Baron asked, "What Magic Potion Materials are you looking to buy? My old friend here is quite reliable. As long as you can list them, he can usually source them for you."

Herag took out a piece of parchment, written with a formula derived from Shenlan Inference.

To be safe, he added a few unnecessary materials to the formula to confuse others.

He spread the parchment on the table, "Just these, none of them are very rare materials. It's just that I find some of them expensive, so I wanted to see if there's a cheaper channel to purchase them."
