Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1513

After two days of touring, Liam finally spoke to Carissa.

"Your country has a Miracle Healer named Sebastian Dalton, right? He's been making a medicine called Snowdrop Pills. Snow Blossom is a key ingredient, but your kingdom has only a limited supply. It grows at the Southern Frontier, but only high atop the snowy mountains. It's difficult to gather and incredibly scarce.

"However, in our kingdom, Snow Blossoms are not so rare. It's found on many high peaks. The Snow Blossom that Healer Dalton uses now is bought secretly from Orivenia's herbal merchants at a steep price. It's so expensive that every Snowdrop Pill he sells is at a loss."

Carissa knew that Snowdrop Pills were rare because some of the ingredients were hard to find, but Sebastian had never specifically mentioned which ones.

However, if he was buying an ingredient from Orivenia, it made sense why he needed to keep it a secret. Previously, there was no trade between Orivenia and Starhaven, especially when it came to medicinal items. So, it was only natural for him to be more cautious.

Liam and Lisandra were clearly aligned on this matter, and their investigation was so thorough that they must have already planned to facilitate trade between both sides. They even invited Faelan all the way from Nerathia to make these plans a reality.

Snowdrop Pills were a life-saving medicine. If the ingredients were no longer scarce, the pills could benefit the common people, which would be a tremendous boon.

Recalling their visit to the herbal market, Carissa asked, "Why didn't I see any Snow Blossoms in the market?"

Liam smiled. "That's only normal. Though the Snow Blossom isn't rare in Orivenia, it's still considered precious. It's difficult to harvest, as one must climb treacherous mountains to gather it.
