The extra supplies sent by the Royal Family weren't precious alchemy materials or strategic resources, just some food and clothing essentials.
The list included cured smoked meat, air-dried sausages, jam sealed in earthen jars, and cheese capped with wax.
These foods seemed ordinary, but each was carefully handled—the smoked meat was made from premium wild boar of the Northern Territory, slow-smoked with sea salt and cedar shavings, giving it a savory taste with a hint of fresh wood aroma; the sausage followed the secret recipe of the royal chefs, mixed with spices and a dash of honey, making it perfect both as a condiment and a standalone snack; the jam had labels with "Summer Orchard" inscribed, a product of the Empress's private estate, which was built for the Royal Family's enjoyment by the court mages in conjunction with alchemists after arriving in the Northern Territory.
