Mersha's eyes widened so much her glasses almost slipped off.
"Y-You want me to make the supplement even better…?"
Garion nodded without hesitation.
"Indeed. You're from a poison clan, right? That means you understand ingredients, reactions, mixtures, and doses better than anyone here."
Mersha fidgeted with her fingers.
"But… but Master… I excel in poisoning people, not improving supplements that help people. It's different."
Garion laughed loudly, leaning back in his chair.
"Mersha, have you ever heard this sentence?"
He raised a finger dramatically.
'All things are poison, and nothing is without poison. Only the dose decides if something is not a poison.'
Mersha tilted her head. "I've… never heard that before, Master."
Garion smiled and explained.
"Exactly what I said. Anything can be poison."
He tapped the glowing bottle on the table.
"And anything poisonous can become useful if the dose is right."
