Potions were not cheap, as the business relied on acquiring them from other territories to resell, resulting in high costs and limited quantities that couldn't scale.
But with a pharmacist, with enough medicinal plants, they could produce a sufficient quantity of potions.
"Indeed, I am a pharmacist," Maria nodded, "I kept it concealed while in Bengala Town."
A pharmacist was a scarcity in any territory, and exposure of her identity would surely make her a target for control by some powers.
And she simply couldn't compete with that with just a mercenary team.
"Why not conceal it in Hope Village?"
"I just feel that Hope Village needs a pharmacist like me; to keep me here, surely they wouldn't force me, village chief, would you?" Maria asked in return.
"No, we welcome you to Hope Village," Zhou Bai replied earnestly.
"Thank you!" Maria smiled.
For some reason, in front of this village chief, she chose not to hide.
Perhaps it was a small premonition of her own.
