# [Knowledge] Neruda Shen and Alchemy

**Quest Group**: 5300107
**Steps**: 2

## Summary

Before becoming the greatest merchant in Mediah, Neruda Shen lived as an alchemist. 
Although he did not leave remarkable achievements in alchemy, 
he was surprisingly well-known for making small elixirs 
that were used in everyday life and had many regular customers.

There were also people who naturally sought him out to receive his teachings, 
and as Neruda Shen became the most powerful figure in Mediah, they naturally became his followers.
When visiting the Shen Merchant Guild, one might naturally suspect the purpose of their visit, 
but alchemists are not particularly suspicious. 
Thanks to this, Neruda Shen's eyes and ears are working perfectly. 
Some people say that it is not only his merchant's sense, 
but also his ability to obtain and handle information that has made him who he is today.
However, it seems that some of them still have curiosity or lingering attachment as alchemists. 
Instead of searching for valuable items in ruins, 
they are investigating the inscriptions on the shining floor in the tombs.
