Chapter 278 - Chapter 278: Cooperating with Triss, First Entry into the Lands Between

After leaving the King's tent, Guilliman quickly received a bounty of twelve thousand Orens.

This was his reward for capturing Prince Maribor alive, helping Foltest conquer Maribor City, and his recent merits.

Adding the valuables he had just plundered from the Earl's castle, this amounted to a total gain of over twenty thousand Orens.

No wonder people say that looting is the fastest way to accumulate initial capital.

That statement is absolutely correct.

All in all, his cheap father-in-law was quite generous.

He certainly couldn't give this much to other Witchers, especially after he had already plundered Prince Maribor's treasury.

In the future, when he encounters danger, he still needs to protect him, after all, the empire Foltest built will be inherited by Adda.

"I need to take Tiffali home; his family is very worried about him."

"Are you coming back to Maribor with me, Guilliman?"

"They will definitely be very grateful to you."

Triss had just requested leave from Foltest and had already received permission.

At this moment, the red-haired beauty twirled her long hair with her fingers, inviting him.

After all, he had saved the heir of the Merigold family, and it was only right to bring him home for a good reception.

Facing the invitation from Triss, although his time was tight, it couldn't be a reason to refuse.

With a portal leading to Maribor, Guilliman and Triss arrived together in this massive city.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the Merigold family residence, a home that wasn't overly luxurious but was quite warm and inviting.

Triss's parents had already passed away.

His brother was now the head of the family, and he didn't show any rejection towards his sister; all the family members liked this beautiful and powerful relative.

This was a rare thing.

In this feudal era, most sorceresses, after their magical talent was detected, were either sold or abandoned, ultimately ending up alienated from their families and alone.

Only a few more enlightened wealthy merchants and noble families would realize that having a sorceress in the family would be a huge help to the entire family.

Furthermore, as a royal advisor to the Kingdom of Temeria, Triss, with her own strength, noble status, and power, brought many benefits to the Merigold family, allowing it to flourish.

Guilliman received many thanks here and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch.

Seeing Triss interact so harmoniously with her relatives, revealing a gentle and lovely smile, also made the Witcher feel a bit emotional.

However, he didn't stay long; after a brief chat with the beautiful sorceress, he left the Merigold family.

But before leaving, he and Triss discussed a matter, a win-win situation.

That was to have Triss help him sell the healing potions and mana potions he brought back from the Elder Scrolls world.

Compared to his own connections, Triss, a talented sorceress who had been a royal advisor for over a decade, had a good personality, and high prestige, was clearly more suitable and more famous in the circle of spellcasters.

By the third game, during the witch hunt, Triss even almost became the spokesperson for the remaining sorcerer groups, which was enough to show her ability and prestige.

However, the chaotic magic of the Witcher world was too distorted and chaotic, truly living up to its name as the power of the God of Calamity.

Incidents involving chaotic magic often led to tragedies.

Even the grand alchemists of this world found it difficult to create healing and mana potions without side effects.

These two types of potions were not nonexistent, but they were extremely expensive and often had strong side effects after use.

However, the health potions and mana potions brought back from the Elder Scrolls world were different; not only could ordinary people use them, but the sorcerer class could also use them safely.

They were practically a monopoly product.

Even Triss, who was extremely sensitive to magic and often had allergic reactions when taking magical concoctions, didn't experience much rejection from the two potions he brought.

Guilliman gave a large portion of the primary and intermediate potions he brought back to Triss, amounting to several thousand bottles.

He deeply trusted the character of the red-haired sorceress, knowing that she was a good person who wouldn't betray a friend.

"You set the specific price; you should know the value of these potions."

"After selling them, you will receive a ten percent commission on the sales."

"Once these goods are sold out, you can continue to restock from me."

Saying this, Guilliman also took out higher-grade advanced health potions and supreme health potions, giving three bottles of each to Triss.

These high-grade potions were rare even in the Elder Scrolls world, and their price was also very high.

But their effectiveness was undeniable, capable of saving lives, though not quite bringing people back from the dead.

However, even a critically wounded person, drinking a bottle of supreme health potion, could sustain their life for a long time, allowing for better medical treatment afterwards, making it a life-saving miracle drug.

"For these advanced potions, I suggest a selling price of over five hundred Orens per bottle, and for the even higher-grade ones, I suggest over fifteen hundred Orens."

"However, they have an expiration date and are not items that can be preserved permanently; they cannot be kept as heirlooms."

"For these high-grade items, if you have channels to sell them to wealthy nobles or powerful sorcerers, I can give you a twenty percent commission."

The prices he quoted, if sold successfully, would yield profits of several times or even dozens of times, allowing for a substantial gain.

The reason for choosing Triss as a collaborator, besides wanting to build a good relationship with her and establish deeper connections, was primarily that among the spellcasters he knew, this cheerful sorceress was the most suitable partner.

Their relationship was currently neither too close nor too distant; if he were to let Margarita or Francesca handle the sales, he would feel uncomfortable giving such a small commission.

These two, being his own people, had transcended ordinary financial relationships.

Triss was a discerning person, and she quickly recognized the value of these two potions.

However, the seemingly delicate and charming Triss was not as finicky as one might imagine.
