Alan just out of curiosity looked at the blond man’s stats and his heart stopped for a second.

Stamina- A

Agility- A-

Mana- B+

Even a flick of his finger was enough to kill him, the other thing he found was that the other people present have Ds and Es for most.

This made him wary and frightened as it was not normal for such a strong person to pretend to be a mercenary.

The relief was that the person was most probably not a spy, as it could only put their mission in danger or the person is extremely kind to risk their mission for an old man.

"Please be the first case," said Alan in his mind.

"I might be able to get something good out of it if the situation allows it"

A devilish smile could be seen appearing on his face.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

With this he finished his food and met his escort knight outside the taravan.

"I want that blond man's information as fast as possible"

A confused look can be seen Markus's face but Alan secretly passed a him a black crystal to him, markus was not stupid and nodded his head agreement.

With this they returned back to the estate. The outcome of the trip to market was that salt and sugar is expensive and salarium was present.

(A/N:In ancient times salt was so precious that in Rome soldiers got their monthly allowance in salt. Salary is obtained from salarium)

"With the present situation making sea salt is the best course of action but it still a not easy I don't even have money for investment"

He could only bite his lips in frustration.

The routes in front of him were limited and many obstacles were to be faced.

At night he continued his mana training, it cannot be called training he was just accumulating mana inside his body, directing mana was still far away.

The first step is to feel the mana and accumulate it; the second is to form a mana path.

Mana path is like the nervous system but instead of sending signals it leads mana in our body.The difference between a swordsman and magician was the way they lead their mana.

While swordsmen circulate mana in their mana to gain strength, magicians lead their mana and concentrate their mana in front of them or outside their body and change their nature.

Mana in the atmosphere could be used by them but due to impurities in the atmosphere it is not useful.

The more impurities one can remove the stronger it is, but quantity still matters.
