By late in the afternoon, we have met all the people we need to meet from Marius' special list. We discreetly completed the task by either visiting the stores they own as merchants, visiting them in their workplaces or going to the places they frequent on their free time. I simply greeted them, introduced myself as a messenger and then placed a piece of paper on the palm of their hands secretly. Most were shocked but some were quite discreet as if this is not the first time they had encountered this type of exchange.
I also completed more shopping and bought out as many of that crystal I saw on the stove then sent a small batch of 20 pieces to Grandpa Mage for selling. I also sent more samples of each color of Ceryneian pearls to Helios for the upcoming auction he would be arranging together with all the merfolk-made items that I have gotten as payment from the auction and also the fruits of my several shopping sprees in the three cities I have visited so far.
