n“Master, we’re here!”
n
n
nJoelson poked his head out of the carriage.
n
n
n
n
n“Benedict Chamber of Commerce.”
n
n
n“Yes, it’s a Chamber of Commerce set up by Count Benedict. It includes two auction houses, three jewelry stores, more than a dozen magic potion stores, weapons stores, and so on.”
n
n
nThe coachman was as familiar with the Chamber of Commerce as if he was at home, and his answer was extremely smooth.
n
n
n“Oh,” said Joelson.” Then let’s go to the weapons shop first.”
n
n
n
n
nThe coachman responded respectfully and drove the carriage for about five minutes.
n
n
nHe stopped in front of a shop with the symbol of a crossed mage’s scepter and sword.
n
n
n“Wait at the door.”
n
n
nJoelson instructed the coachman and then strode into the weapons shop.
n
n
n
n
nJoelson needed a handy magic wand.
n
n
nAlthough mages did not rely on weapons as much as dirt, a good magic wand could speed up a mage’s casting speed, increase the power of casting spells, and accelerate the speed of mana recovery.
n
n
nIn a duel between two mages of the same strength, a mage with the support of the magic wand would definitely be able to completely crush an empty-handed mage.
n
n
nHowever, not long after Joelson walked in, he walked out.
n
n
nThe coachman felt strange. “Master, why are you so fast? Have you already bought it?”
n
n
nJoelson snorted lightly. “There’s nothing good in here.”
n
n
n
n
nThe coachman was a little surprised.
n
n
n“Go to the shop that sells magic potions.”
n
n
nThe coachman drove the carriage to change direction.
n
n
nInside the carriage, Joelson’s face was full of helplessness.
n
n
nHe did not look down on the things in the shop. The fire magic staff that the waiter had just introduced to him was very good.
n
n
nIt was made from the core of a red paulownia tree and an intermediate fire-type gem the size of a pigeon’s egg. Joelson really wanted to buy it.
n
n
nBut when he asked the price, he found out that it was sold for eight thousand gold coins.
n
n
nHe couldn’t afford it, so Joelson could only pretend that he didn’t want it.
n
n
n
n
nThe Magic Potion Shop was also not far away.
n
n
nAs soon as Joelson entered the shop, just like in the weapons shop, someone immediately greeted him.
n
n
n“What do you need, dear customer?”
n
n
nJoelson thought for a moment and said, “Do you have any spirit potions?”
n
n
n“Of course!”
n
n
nThe waiter showed a warm smile.
n
n
nThose who would buy spiritual potions were all mages. Basically, all mages were rich.
n
n
n“The basic spiritual potions cost fifteen gold coins per dose, and the intermediate spiritual potions cost twelve hundred gold coins. Which kind do you need?”
n
n
nJoelson frowned and asked, “Why is it so expensive?”
n
n
nThe waiter smiled and replied, “I can give you a discount.”
n
n
nJoelson nodded and said, “Then I’ll come again next time.”
n
n
nThen, he turned around and left.
n
n
nThe smile on the waiter’s face froze. He was so angry that he cursed under his breath, “Why are you pretending to be a mage when you have no money? You’re wasting my time!”
n
n
n
n
nJoelson heard it clearly, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
n
n
nThen, he asked the coachman to take him to more than ten different Chambers of Commerce and different magic potion shops.
n
n
n“That’s enough. Let’s call it a day.”
n
n
nJoelson threw a gold coin to the coachman who yawned, looking a little sleepy.
n
n
n“Let’s go back. I’m tired.”
n
n
n“Yes, Master!”
n
n
nThe coachman didn’t understand why this noble master was so strange. After walking around for a whole day, he seemed to have bought nothing after walking around half of the Imperial Capital.
n
n
nHe didn’t understand.
n
n
nBut he didn’t dare to say anything more. He sent Joelson to the gate of the academy not far away and drove the carriage away happily.
n
n
nHe was happy enough to get two gold coins a day.
n
n
nAfter Joelson got off the carriage and waited for the carriage to leave, he did not immediately return to the Magic Academy. Instead, he turned around and entered an alley.
n
n
nA few minutes later, a tall and thin man in a black robe with a pale face and a thin face walked out of the alley.
n
n
nIt was Joelson.
n
n
nIt was not that he did not buy anything.
n
n
nHe bought transformation potions and voice-changing potions in several shops.
n
n
nHe had now changed from a handsome young man to a hoarse, eccentric, and lonely magic potion master.
n
n
nThis was a necessary disguise.
n
n
nJoelson had to be careful.
n
n
nIf people knew that he was selling intermediate spiritual potions and was targeted by others, the consequences wouldn’t be what he wanted to see.
n
n
nAfter all, whether it was him or Du Lu, their current strength was very weak.
n
n
nSnowflake Chamber of Commerce.
n
n
nA medium-sized Chamber of Commerce.
n
n
nA large Chamber of Commerce had many good things, and Joelson could not offer too high a price. A small Chamber of Commerce also had no money, so they could not sell at too high a price.
n
n
nLittle George stood in front of the counter and yawned out of boredom.
n
n
nThere were no customers all day, but a well-dressed noble youth came in the afternoon and asked a lot of questions.
n
n
nGeorge thought that some big customer had come, so he was very enthusiastic. He made tea and put in a lot of effort.
n
n
nIn the end, the other party left without buying anything, which made him very angry and depressed.
n
n
nSuddenly, a figure walked into the shop.
n
n
nGeorge’s eyes lit up, and he quickly walked up to him. But when he saw the other party’s appearance, his enthusiasm was immediately reduced.
n
n
nHis clothes were too shabby, and he did not look like a rich man.
n
n
n“Sir, is there anything you need?”
n
n
nLittle George still asked politely.
n
n
nBut the other party did not even look at him. He walked straight to the store and sat down. “Call your store manager out. I want to discuss a big business deal with him.”
n
n
nGeorge could not help but frown. “Sir?”
n
n
nBefore he could finish his words, the other party glared at him fiercely.
n
n
nThose eyes were like knives. George suddenly felt a wave of fear, so much so that his back was covered in a cold sweat.
n
n
n“I… I’ll go right away!”
n
n
nGeorge hurriedly ran away, cursing in his heart, “F*ck! It’s actually a mage!”
n
n
nIt was normal for a magic potion shop to meet a mage, but it was George’s own misfortune to meet such an overbearing and unreasonable mage.
n
n
nJoelson sat for a while, and the manager of Shelley’s Magic Potion Shop slowly walked over.
n
n
nIt was a thin, short, and sharp-eyed middle-aged man.
n
n
n“Dear customer, how may I address you?”
n
n
nJoelson snorted coldly.
n
n
n“Just call me Edward.”
n
n
n“Mr Edward.”
n
n
nThe manager sat down across from Joelson with a smile.
n
n
n“What is the big business you are referring to?”
n
n
n“Do you accept spirit potions?”
n
n
nThe store manager frowned slightly. He thought that the other party was here to buy things, but he did not expect that they were selling things.
n
n
nHis attitude immediately became very cold
n
n
n“Our Chamber of Commerce has its own magic pharmacist.”
n
n
nJoelson interrupted him and said, “What if it’s a high-grade spirit potion?”
n
n
n“What?!”
n
n
nGeorge, who was beside him, couldn’t help but shout. The store manager glared at him, his gaze changing.
n
n
n“What do you mean?”
n
n
nJoelson took out the spirit potion and put it on the table.
n
n
nThe store manager frowned slightly.
n
n
n“This is only an intermediate-level spirit potion.”
n
n
n“You’re wrong.”
n
n
nJoelson shook his head and said seriously, “This is a high-level spirit potion, a new type of high-level spirit potion. It increases the efficiency of meditation by 40%, and it can increase fire element affinity by 30%.”
n
n
n“How is this possible?”
n
n
nThe store manager could not help but laugh.
n
n
nJoelson looked at him indifferently.
n
n
n“You can try.”
n
n
nThe store manager saw that Joelson did not believe him and said a few words to Little George. Little George left quickly and soon led another person out.
