Chapter 146: As Agreed! How Much Does Such a Potion Usually Cost?

Wolfsbane Potion?!

Hearing Ivan's explanation, the Werewolf wizards were all too excited to contain themselves.

Yesterday, although they had heard Ivan mention the Wolfsbane Potion, it was just talk at that time, and they found it hard to believe that a young wizard could develop a Potion powerful enough to solve their Werewolf problem.

Now, however, it was different. Walker, who could still communicate normally even after transforming into a Werewolf, was right in front of them. No matter how surprised they were, they had to admit that it was true!

"Your meaning is, as long as we drink the Wolfsbane Potion, we can all be like Walker?" Even the usually calm Fenrir couldn't hide his excitement as he asked.

"Of course." Ivan nodded. Just as he was about to push the Potion further, he noticed an elderly Werewolf Witch who couldn't control her emotions, shedding tears and sobbing softly.

Ivan was a bit puzzled. Even if they were happy, it shouldn't be to this extent, right?

"Thank you!"

While Ivan was stunned, Fenrir came forward and patted his shoulder, expressing his sincere gratitude.

After speaking, Fenrir looked at the crying elderly Witch and said to Ivan with a bitter smile.

"You are not Werewolf wizards, so you may find it hard to understand our feelings.

Actually, everyone here is a pitiful soul. They are not born Werewolf wizards but were bitten and scratched by other out-of-control werewolves in the past, and due to untimely treatment, they were forcibly transformed."

"Turning from a normal wizard into a Werewolf almost destroyed their previous lives.

To avoid hurting their loved ones, they left their homes, only to find that in the vast magical world, even finding a job to support themselves is extremely difficult because almost no place welcomes a Werewolf who might go berserk at any time."

Fenrir sighed, recounting one story after another of the Werewolf wizards, each with their own misfortune.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have ended up in Knockturn Alley, sometimes without even a full meal.

Ivan was silent for a long time. He was not a Werewolf wizard and couldn't fully understand their feelings, but in his view, Werewolf wizards were like Infectious Disease Patients in the Muggle World.

He had spent a long time in a hospital in his past life and understood the discrimination that an Infectious Disease Patient could face in daily life.

While Ivan was thinking, Fenrir had already briefly recounted the stories of everyone except himself and Walker.

After a moment's pause, Fenrir sighed and said, "Your Wolfsbane Potion gives us hope for a normal life. I think every Werewolf will thank you."

Ivan, however, wasn't so optimistic. He shook his head and softly said, "Even with the Wolfsbane Potion, it will be hard to change the long-held prejudices of wizards in the short term. You should be mentally prepared for that."

If he could, Ivan wouldn't want to pour cold water on them at this moment, but he understood that if these Werewolf wizards were to believe with full confidence that the Wolfsbane Potion could eliminate the barriers, they would only face a harsher reality in the end.

"We know that, but at least we have some hope now, don't we?" Fenrir was quite open-minded, laughing freely.

The other Werewolf wizards also calmed down from their initial excitement and came forward to express their gratitude.

Feeling a bit embarrassed by the continuous praise, Ivan knew that he had made the Wolfsbane Potion more out of self-interest.

"By the way, how much does this Potion cost?" Amidst the praise and thanks, someone suddenly asked.

This group of Werewolf wizards also realized this critical issue and looked at Ivan with apprehension.

Although the Wolfsbane Potion could help them control their transformations and prevent them from going berserk, they would need to be able to afford it first.

"Twenty, no, forget it, I'll sell it for ten Galleons!" Ivan sighed.

Initially, Ivan had planned to set the price at twenty Galleons. According to his budget, this price was roughly what Werewolf wizards who worked or did odd jobs outside of Knockturn Alley could save up in a month by living frugally.

If the price was too high, they couldn't afford it. If it was too low, he wouldn't make much profit. Twenty Galleons was the limit that both sides could accept.

However, seeing the eager looks on the faces of the Werewolf wizards present and thinking about the stories Fenrir had told him, Ivan hesitated and then decided to lower the price to half of the original.

After setting the price, Ivan suddenly thought of something and glared at Fenrir for a while. He had wondered why this guy would suddenly tell him stories, and now he knew—this was the reason.

Fenrir gave Ivan an apologetic look. He didn't mean to pressure Ivan, but he genuinely wanted to convey the difficulties of the Werewolves to Ivan, the inventor of the Wolfsbane Potion. Werewolves were truly poor!

The Werewolf wizards present could see that Ivan had considered their situation and lowered the price, and they were deeply moved.

"Thank you, thank you!"

"At ten Galleons, if we work hard, we can still save up enough each month."

"With the Wolfsbane Potion, we can soon find regular jobs and leave this place."

Several Werewolf wizards chattered excitedly about their future plans, expressing their gratitude.

At this moment, Fenrir spoke solemnly.

"Ivan Hals, if you need any help in the future, feel free to come to us. You are always welcome here, and if we can be of any assistance."

"Right, if you run into any trouble, just let me know!" Walker chimed in, his sharp Wolf Claws clenched into fists as he slapped his chest boldly.

Ivan smiled, and his slight melancholy dissipated. In his previous life, he had never received such hope from others, but now, in this new world, he had given hope to an entire community.

Ivan wasn't sure what the original price of the Wolfsbane Potion was in the story, but he was certain it couldn't be ten Galleons. The cost, marketing, Research and Development Costs, and the complexity of Potion Brewing all made the Wolfsbane Potion expensive.

Even with the Formula provided by the System, which saved on Research and Development Costs, the marketing expenses and Potion costs remained unsolvable.

Moreover, Ivan couldn't spend all his time brewing the Wolfsbane Potion, so he needed others to handle the production. Therefore, he might only make one or two Galleons per bottle sold.

However, selling at a lower price had its benefits.

After all, this Potion needed to be purchased at least once a month, and a lower price would ensure that all Werewolf wizards could afford it.

There were hundreds of Werewolf wizards in Europe, and if a third of them were willing to buy the Wolfsbane Potion every month, he could still make a decent profit.

There were many ways to earn Galleons, and Ivan wasn't heartless enough to enrich himself by exploiting Werewolf wizards.
