William's POV Thomas approached me and spoke softly, "Sir, I have some news. I have learned of a wonder plant being grown in the east. It produces a sap that is very valuable, but the prices are inflated by intermediaries. If we can buy directly from the farmers, we can save a fortune and fill our ship with the sap." I listened intently, my low growls filling the air as I considered his words. "Explain," I said, my voice low and commanding. "The plant is called the 'miracle tree,' and it is said to have healing properties unlike any other plant," Thomas said, his voice low and firm. "The sap is highly prized by apothecaries and alchemists alike, and it is said to have the power to heal even the most serious of injuries." I nodded. "And the farmers are willing to sell to us?" I asked.
