"Water of Balance!"
Ian took out the incomplete formula again. He examined it over and over but found nothing unusual, so he put it away.
The mental warning he had received earlier told him this item was far from simple. It was the first time anything like that had ever happened.
'Maybe it's not a Neutralizing Potion at all! Kristen must not have known its true value when she traded it to me.'
Since he couldn't figure it out, Ian put it out of his mind.
He straightened his red robes and went out to find Hank.
Along the way, people who saw the red robes Ian wore cast reverent gazes at him.
Hank's residence was a reinforced stone house, right next to the Central Stone Tower.
Ian knocked on the door. A rough, hoarse voice answered from inside, "Come in."
Pushing the door open, he saw Hank sitting at a rough wooden table, wiping his Merciful Battle Saber.
Seeing it was Ian, Hank paused and placed the saber on the table.
