Chapter 58 Order
Miss Rattletail comes prepared.
Although Ethan agreed to her invitation, he was also prepared. If Miss Xiangwei took him to some place that violated public order and good customs, he would snort and walk away. However, he still committed the crime of judging people by their appearance. Sin, because of the other party's dress and body shape, preconceptions and wrong judgments were made.
He engaged in deep self-reflection.
"This is called Star Dial Lane. You can find almost all shops related to occultism here, including high-end magic scroll shops, potion shops, astrological societies, magic bookstores..."
Rattletail introduced to Ethan with a smile that it was the basic rule of the consortium to treat people the way they wanted. They conducted a lot of investigations and found that this elemental shaper who suddenly appeared not only liked to release ice arrows into the Black Sea, His only hobby is hanging out in the magic bookstore on a merchant ship.
He also asked the bookstore manager about books on teleportation magic. After learning that there were no such high-level magic books in the store, he left disappointed.
As a result, the image of a scholar who has escaped from vulgar taste and is obsessed with mysticism emerges before his eyes.
But thinking about it, Heisenberg seemed to be young, and to be able to achieve such attainments in elemental shaping and magic scroll drawing at the same time, he must have put in unimaginable energy. I'm afraid he didn't even spend his sleeping time studying.
Ethan was immersed in the rich academic atmosphere of occultism in Xingdial Alley. Here, you can see pedestrians wearing magician robes and holding magic books walking on the street everywhere. If there are people gathered together in twos and threes, they must be Discussing a certain spell in depth.
Even the street lamps on the street have been transformed into pumpkins. The pumpkins’ eyes are inlaid with energy-storing crystals, illuminating the road under their feet with cold-toned light.
Most of the people in Stardial Alley are magicians and followers of Kadra, the god of trickery.
As the only two most common "magicians" in the empire, in Ethan's opinion, their spell system is more like that of wizards, who are famous for their ever-changing spells. He guessed that most of the high-level magicians have masters such as "Ava" Spells such as "Da gnaw the big melon".
"By the way, since I couldn't get in touch with you yesterday, there is one thing we haven't had time to get your consent for. Please don't blame us for being presumptuous."
While speaking, Xiangwei suddenly stopped.
Ethan raised his eyes and saw the imposing signboard lit by energy-accumulating crystals.
Lao Sen Magic Scroll Shop.
Regardless of the size of the store, the decoration in the store is much more luxurious than the merchant ship VIP area. At this moment, the service staff in the store are already in place. They are uniformly dressed and wearing the same masks and are cleaning the store.
Everything is ready, but the shelves are empty, as if they are waiting for the arrival of a magic scroll artist.
He can use these resources to quickly improve the level of elemental drawing skills. Although the private customization business has solved his urgent need, such output is destined to be unable to quickly improve his proficiency. After three orders, his elemental drawing is still stuck at Junior (24/45) stage.
If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would happily accept this wealth that fell from the sky.
"It is indeed a bit presumptuous."
Ethan woke up from his beautiful fantasy. He fully believed that the store was also equipped with a luxurious magic scroll drawing workshop. This reminded him of the choices that the chemist Heisenberg once faced. The big drug lords also made decisions for him. Heisenberg provided a "laundry."
There is no free lunch in this world.
He said, "I have no plans to be employed by anyone yet."
"I completely understand your concerns, but the consortium believes that a talented elemental shaper like you should not have a decent shop. You can understand that this is the consortium's investment in you." "You are suggesting that I should go A loan from the Imperial Bank of China? ”
"Although I don't know what happened, it seems that you have a deep prejudice against the consortium. The consortium will not make any demands on you. Whatever you want to sell in the store is your freedom."
"So, what you are saying is that you provided me with the store located in the center of Xingdial Lane for free without any standards, without asking for turnover, and without any return. I seem to be the type who is easily deceived. Human? ”
At this point, Ethan paused briefly and continued, "I have only seen magicians along the way. There is also an astrology club here. This shows that you are closely related to astrology societies, so you must have heard of magic." The relationship between the master and the elemental shaper is not harmonious.”
Wherever the magician is entrenched, there must be no elemental shaper.
Even he, who lives in a small town on the border of the empire and is extremely ignorant of the field of mysticism, knows about the grievances between the two sides.
Not long ago, the owner of the merchant ship magic scroll shop made an evaluation of the basic elemental spell scrolls, which was also the epitome of the elemental shaper in this era.
With the rise of gunpowder and firearms, low-level elemental spells have gradually lost their market. Compared with elemental magic that has a single function and can almost only be used in combat, today's nobles and wealthy businessmen prefer a wide variety of spells that can be used in a wide range of ways. Magic scroll.
In this fierce market competition, elemental shapers have become the loser.
The changes in the market environment have made magicians a respected and sought-after object, while elemental shapers can only return to their ivory tower - the academy, like old craftsmen abandoned by the times.

Ethan believed that the Rofic Consortium must know these backgrounds. After all, most of the occult shops in the empire have their capital injections, and the prices of magicians and magic scrolls are controlled by them behind the scenes.
Setting up a magic scroll shop run by an elemental shaper in the heart of Stardial Alley was not a good idea at all.
It's just that he hasn't yet seen the purpose of the consortium's doing this. If it just wants to use the magician's hand to mock or humiliate him, it would be too low-level.
"It seems that nothing can escape your eyes. The consortium just wants the magicians to return to the state of competition with each other. They have been standing still for too long and were easily surpassed by your spells."< br>
Miss Rattletail smiled and complimented, "You can also understand this store as the reward for the first order."
"Order?"
"Your spells are impressive. This is an order that only you, Mr. Heisenberg, can complete. No matter how many materials you need to use, no matter what kind of assistants you need, the consortium will do its best to meet your requirements. And we have only one request.”
The pair of purple snake eyes stared at Ethan. After the courtesy and greetings, the venomous snake seemed to finally show her fangs.
"We would like to order a spell from you - a spell that can get rid of the Imperial Knight Commander."
