After saying goodbye to Ava and Dylan, Vicente and Rory managed to buy two more pills from the alchemist Lukas' friend had recommended.
However, they had to pay a high price for the two pills that the man had at his disposal. According to the man, there were no other pills like the ones they wanted in the shop at the moment.
Vicente, who had already guessed this from the medicinal scent in the air, accepted such a man's price and paid 24,000 bronze coins for the two pills.
Having done that, they returned to their estate after disguising themselves so that no one would be able to trace them from their morning movements.

Arriving at their estate, Vicente and Rory soon distributed the items they had just bought to the men they considered most worthy of investment.
But none of these 12 people were allowed to immediately start taking the pills they had received from their bosses.
