Chapter 361 Chapter 361 – Currently Busy
After about half a minute of looking at the Spilling Bottle, Julian tipped it over while holding it in his hand.
Nick watched as purple sludge was coming out of the bottle and gathering on the ground.
Julian watched the sludge with interest.
A moment later, one of the mouths moved over to the sludge and opened, consuming all of it.
Nick raised an eyebrow.
Julian was eating the sludge?
A moment later, Julian put the bottle upright again.
"Prephyx Matter," Julian said. "It has a corrosive and poisoning effect. Most likely, the intention behind the bottle's actions is to destroy as much life as possible. It doesn't matter if it's human, animal, or plant."
"Sadly, it can't grow more powerful," Julian said with a confident snicker. "What a waste."
Julian threw the bottle to the side, and it landed perfectly upright on the ground.
"Guess we're just keeping it here or selling it."
Then, Julian walked towards the Containment Unit's exit.
Nick's face showed no reaction, but inside, he grew nervous.
"Is there no use for the sludge?" Nick asked, not looking at Julian.
"Of course there is, but there are plenty of Specters that produce Prephyx matter. In fact, the supply far exceeds the demand, and I don't think that an Initial Hatchling will make a dent in the market," Julian answered casually.
'That's not what I mean, you dumbass,' Nick thought, trying his best to keep his face from showing any of his anger. 'But I can't just directly tell you without seeming suspicious.'
"Oh, okay," Nick said as he also approached the exit. "Who are we going to sell it to? What about the city? There's bound to be something the guards inside or outside the city could do with a small object that can produce infinite Prephyx matter."
The two left the Containment Unit, and as Nick passed by Julian, he saw him furrowing his brows in thought.
'He's never been outside this city,' Nick thought. 'That's the only reason he didn't make the connection. He's never seen the forests or the black sludges before, but he should know about them.'
The two important parts of Nick's statement were "inside or outside" and "small object".
