Faleau was completely confused. Nevertheless, the result was in favor of the Gilded Rose. The other organizations were deterred, and the negotiations were easier. He had to pretend that the Gilded Rose punished the two robbers, even though he knew it didn't.

The negotiations went well. He signed barter contracts with multiple mage organizations. The Blue Demon Potions could be exchanged for many special materials they gained from other planes. Only the forces that controlled such planes had access to the materials.
But not everything was successful. Some organizations proposed harsh terms for the barter, so Faleau gave up.
