The next day, Leon encountered two smelly Apprentice Mages.
Clearly, they were two unlucky guys who had been attacked by the Sludge, which seemed to have hit them with both 'Acid Vomit' and a 'Shrink' curse, transforming them into their current forms. But before Leon could learn how it had happened, the two, upon noticing his presence, clenched their jaws and glared at him.
Faced with their furious glares, although completely confused as to why they were doing this, he quickly handed his list of items he wanted to exchange to Danny, turned, and left.
Danny was considered one of the friendliest guys among all the Apprentice Mages in the tower, and he had established an underground market selling information on supply and demand. Leon had come to tell him he was selling a Giant Lizard egg and some Magical Iron Ore. If any Apprentice Mage was interested, they would come to him for a trade. At the same time, he bought a few useful items from Danny at a high price.
