The shadow under the Wizard's hood shifted slightly. "So, Your Excellency the Governor, what is it that you want? Besides the truths you already know, besides the anchor and the path...what else do you hope to get from me?"
Murphy met his gaze. "Potions. Something like the Heart of the Fierce Sun—a Secret Medicine that can significantly boost Life Energy and awaken potential. Do you have any?"
The Wizard was visibly stunned for a moment. The shadow beneath his hood seemed to freeze.
After a brief silence, he let out a soft, incredulous chuckle. "Heh... You want *that*? Do you have any idea what the true origin is of those Knight's Secret Medicines like the Heart of the Fierce Sun you mentioned?"
"I'm only asking if you have it," Murphy interrupted.
"I do not," the Wizard answered crisply, his tone tinged with a strange sort of regret. "I have nothing of the sort here."
