Later, they’d find out that the cure only worked while the patient was still ill, and they wouldn’t restore what was lost. Those who had already survived and gotten past it, and therefore had their foundations destroyed, wouldn’t have a use for the current cure.
However, the family wasn’t too disappointed. Alterra had produced and figured out so many things by themselves already.
This meant that, in time, hopefully, new and improved medicine could be created—medicine to help people like his mother.
If they didn’t, then that simply meant it was not possible in the first place. Having Alterra work on it meant that the best really had been done, regardless of the result.
On their way to Alterra, they unfortunately encountered some town-level monsters and had to get into a fight, causing his mother to be injured even when there was no direct contact.
Fortunately, Bright Village was nearby, so they settled down there for a while, asking their healers to help the mum. She was fine, but she needed a day’s rest.
Speaking of Bright Village, their perfume business had really taken off, and a third of their farms were dedicated to raw materials for this item.
They were even building new factories and warehouses for these specific harvests. A few more scents were created, and they had a well-equipped laboratory (with Alterra tech and investment) and a wider array of products.
Their depots were filled with glass bottles (imported from Alterra at dealer’s price) for perfumes, scented soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and so on.
They heard that the plants were also improved and modified to their needs by the wood user sister of the Lord. Their brand name was called [Bright Misha] in honor of her.
Soon, the two of them were called to the Lord’s office. While their identities were naturally not popularized and even hidden (which they didn’t mind; They liked the contribution points their spy work gave and didn’t care about fame), many people were still in-the-know.
"Welcome back to the Region," Micheal said, sipping his tea while Juno served the two of them tea as well.
"I would like to buy some information you gathered from the territories you passed through this round," he said. "I’m thinking of tapping the market there as well."
Their items were premium items and with the creation of the factories, their productivity would spike.
If he were to spread their products to places Alterra hadn’t touched yet, wouldn’t he gain a bit of prestige?
Micheal’s challenges were really understandable. With Alterra right next to them, gathering prestige was too hard!
He wanted to see his territory become a town before he died!
...
For Belluga, their industry was leaning towards linen and cotton-making.
Except for some farms dedicated to food and vegetables, a good portion of their farms were full of cotton and flax as well.
Their improved seeds and plants were bought from Alterra, but they also found their own plant experts to continuously care for, and perhaps improve, the plants a bit more.
For a while, they were focused on simple factories by hand, and the quality of their work was not bad. It so happened that they had a lot of seamstresses and a few clothing experts in their midst too.

Many of these needed specific talent and expertise, in which case they sent out recruitment notices through the Alterran network.
