"Lavana, do you have a cold?"
The one who spoke concerned was a handsome guy with gentle appearance, he knelt down to help the woman pick up the scattered documents.
"Your Highness, I'm fine... I just feel a sudden chill."
212 The Father and Daughter of the Profiteer
After boarding their own carriage with Xiao Jin, the two left the academy and disguised themselves as commoners to a business house in Midtown.
The owner of the shop is a magician, and this magician is quite well-known in the local area, but he is quite mean.
The carriage had just driven to the vicinity of the trading house, when a man dressed as a mercenary was thrown out of the house, and fell to the road in a big shape.
Then another man dressed as a mage came out of the house. He poured a bucket of dirty water on the man just now, and kept spraying trash talk.
"Damn it, you said you were rich, but you couldn't even take out ten gold coins. How dare you step into my shop and waste my precious time explaining the effects of those props to you, bah!"
The mercenary stood up and cursed back.
"You profiteer! Customers first check what's wrong with the product! You still pour dirty water on me, just wait, I'll report you to the security team immediately!"
"You are not a guest if you have no money. In my eyes, you are worse than a beggar! If you want to report it, go there! Do you really think I will be afraid? But before that..."
The sorcerer hooked his finger lightly, and suddenly a golden coin flew out of the mercenary's arms and fell into the sorcerer's hand.
"Ah! My money! Return it quickly! Otherwise..."
The mercenary drew the dagger from his waist as a threat.
The mage sneered, "Otherwise what do you want?"
As soon as the mage finished speaking, five fireballs the size of skulls floated above his head.
The mercenary on the opposite side turned pale when he saw this, he almost forgot that the one opposite was a mage, and it would not be difficult to kill him.
Moreover, the mage's strength is indeed not bad. After all, a mage with average strength can't open a store in Midtown for more than ten years, not to mention his bad temper.
"You, you wait for me!"
The mercenary turned around and ran away after speaking the lines exclusive to Miscellaneous Fish.
The farce in front of the shop attracted many passers-by to watch, including Du Wei and Xiao Jin.
This kind of farce will be staged here almost every day, because it is not far from the arena in the lower city, and gamblers who have made some small money in the arena often come to this shopping street to shop.
However, Xiao Jin has no interest in these, she just waits impatiently for the farce to end.
Soon, the crowd dispersed, leaving only the sorcerer still cursing.
"Don't you have the concept that the customer is God?"
Du Wei made complaints while brushing his wig.
"Huh? Shut your ass... oh oh oh oh! Isn't this Mrs. Du Wei! I almost can't recognize you wearing a wig. Welcome to the shop again, you are my God!"
The sorcerer rubbed his hands and smiled coquettishly, the acrimony just now was completely gone.
"Don't flatter me there, and lead us in quickly, don't tell me you don't know why we are here."
The mage smiled very brightly when he heard it.
"I, Doron, am honored to be able to serve the two adults today, and I invite the two to follow me."
As soon as he entered the shop, Duolong immediately ordered the staff to receive them with the most expensive tea in the shop.
Although this profiteer is usually mean and stingy, he will still spend the money he should spend in favors. After all, he knows that the money spent will definitely earn more from the little aunt next to Du Wei.
The shop is neither big nor small. It is a three-story building. The first floor sells some alchemy products, the second floor sells enchanting items, and the third floor sells all kinds of items. books.
And their goal is naturally the books on the third floor. Basically, when they go shopping with Xiaojin, her first choice will only be stores like bookstores.
"It just so happens that I bought a batch of new books recently. These books are out-of-print notes that are hardly seen on the market. For example, these cabinets contain travel notes from the Western Continent." Duolong rubbed his hands and introduced.
This guy is mean, but he can always produce some rare products that even the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce can't get.
Of course, there is a reason for this. On the surface, this guy is a bitter mage businessman, but his real identity is the highest person in charge of the Fortune Church in the Knox capital.
That is to say, besides being a mage and a businessman, he also has the hidden identity of a priest.
The Goddess that the Fortune Church serves is Wojin, the goddess of trade and wealth. Although the Fortune Church is a religious organization in name, it is actually the largest business group in this plane, and it is estimated that it will not be surpassed by other organizations in the future.
Comparing the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce with the Fortune Church, the gap between the two is like that of an ordinary merchant and a chain company.
One of the most famous businesses of the Fortune Church is banking. The church under the Fortune Church is the local banking and financial institution, and it is also the only banking and financial institution in the entire plane.
All the coins on the market are minted by the Fortune Church. Of course, the monopoly of the Fortune Church will naturally arouse the hatred of others, but jealousy is jealousy, but few people dare to attack the Fortune Church.
This is not because of how strong the goddess of wealth is. If I really want to say it, the goddess of trade and wealth is just a weak god with weak power, and the priesthood is not related to fighting.
But the people of Fortune Church embody a sentence perfectly.
Money can really do whatever it wants.
The clergymen of the Church of Fortune do not have much combat capability, but the mercenary group they employ is so sophisticated that it can be called the size and level of an army.
In history, there was a master of legendary strength who annoyed the Church of Fortune. As a result, the Church of Fortune issued a wanted man for a quasi-sacred weapon. Within a week, that legendary man became a headless corpse.
Since then, few people have dared to take action against the Fortune Church, and the Fortune Church itself has good political and business relations in most countries. After all, building a good relationship with politicians is the basic skill of a businessman.
Back to the present, as soon as Xiao Jin stepped into the third floor, he immediately left him and entered the reading mode.
As far as the result is concerned, it is not much different from going out for shopping. Du Wei can only smile wryly.
However, the original intention of dating was to make Xiao Jin happy, and it was considered a success.
Xiao Jin, who entered the reading mode, had to read at least half an hour before recovering, so Du Wei, who had nothing to do, went down to the first floor alone to look at other products.
The first floor sells alchemy products.
"Daughter, come out quickly and introduce your new invention to the distinguished guests."
Doron, who was following him, shouted backstage.
"Honored guest!? Come on, come on, oh oh oh! So it's Lord Du Wei!"
A lively and cheerful woman burst out from the background.
"Sister Duoke, I haven't seen you for a while. Congratulations on your promotion to the fourth grade."
She is the third-year senior who used to sell anti-gravity magic balls and love potions at school celebrations. When Du Wei came here for the first time, he thought she was a wage earner here, but she was Duolong The owner's daughter.
Senior Duo Ke smiled embarrassedly.
"Oh, that... I actually repeated the grade, and this year is still in the third grade."
"...What? Retention? Why?"
It was the first time Du Wei heard that the Royal Academy had repeated grades. Generally speaking, those who made big mistakes would drop out of school directly, and those who made small mistakes would just tell their parents and ask them to punish them on their behalf.
"It's a long story..."
"It's okay, I'm free."
"Oh...that's it. I went to Jack's dormitory to stay for one night a while ago."
"What!?" Du Wei exclaimed in shock.
Although Jack mostly went directly to their family's branch library in the imperial capital after get off work, the college still gave him a teacher's dormitory, and he would occasionally sleep in the dormitory overnight because he was working too late.
did not expect!Unexpectedly, that dog-like Jack would seduce a female student to spend the night in his teacher's dormitory!
For this, Du Wei must strictly condemn the behavior of such a beast teacher as Jack.
Du Wei asked anxiously. "Let's hear the details."
"On that day, I was too focused on the experiment and didn't notice the time. When I came back to my senses and walked out of the classroom, it was already dark outside. Jack happened to be working overtime on the student union that day. Seeing that I hadn't left, he suggested that I simply sleep in his dormitory. .”
Du Wei speculated excitedly.
"So the two of you spent the night alone, only to be caught by the staff the next day, but Jack's family has a big business, so only you were punished to drop out of school, but he came forward to save you, so the punishment turned into repeating a grade .”
Senior Duo Ke burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, what a lonely man and a widow spending the night, Jack gave me the key that day and left."
It shouldn't be, isn't Jack sprayed with the love potion by him?no effect?
"Ah? Then why did you repeat the grade?"
And according to Senior Sister Duoke, there shouldn't be any need for punishment if you just live in the teacher's dormitory for one night, right?
Doke-senpai stuck out her tongue embarrassingly.
"Well... Actually, I accidentally blew up the teachers' dormitory that night."
"...Huh?" Du Wei poked his ears and asked, "Say it again, what happened to you if you were not careful?"
You can laugh dryly.
"I blew up the teachers' dormitory."
Du Wei asked dumbfoundedly.
"Why are you blowing up the teacher's dormitory!?"
"Well... I didn't do it on purpose. At that time, my alchemy experiment was stuck in a bottleneck for several days, and that day when I was sleeping in Jack's dormitory and dreaming, I suddenly dreamed of a possible way to break through the bottleneck, so I woke up instantly and got up immediately. I want to do an experiment to verify it while the dream is still clear."
At this time, senior sister Duoke laughed dryly again.
"However, the laboratory is far away from the dormitory. In a hurry, I simply took out the experimental equipment I carried with me and started the experiment in the living room of the classroom dormitory."
Du Wei continued what Doke said.
"...And then his dormitory exploded?"
How ridiculous.
"Haha, dreams are really unreliable."
"I think it's you who is unreliable! It's your luck that you didn't get expelled."
Master Duolong on the side said with a painful expression on his face.
"In order to clean up the mess made by this girl, I spent a lot of money to establish a relationship with the school to settle this matter."
To make the miser Duolong take the initiative to take out the money, it is estimated that he is the only cheating daughter.
"Hey hey, don't talk about this, I'm here to introduce the products on this floor to you, there are a lot of my confident works!" Duo Ke said confidently.
Seeing her like that, Du Wei felt a little uneasy instead.
"For example?"
"For example, this one! Spotlight umbrella!" Senior sister Doke took out what looked like a parasol from the merchandise cabinet.
"Polar umbrella? What's the function?"
"Hmph, this umbrella is amazing. As long as you open it under the sun, the umbrella surface can absorb and store sunlight."
"Uh, that's it? It feels like an ordinary umbrella."
Doke-senpai shook her finger.
"Of course it's more than that. Do you see a switch on the handle? As long as you turn on the switch, the stored sunlight will be released from the bottom of the handle as a light source."
That is, a flashlight?
"I always feel that this function is very subtle."
Senior sister Duo Ke urged.
"It's very useful! Now you only need ten gold coins to get it, and this is the only one in limited edition!"
Regardless of its function, just hearing the word "limited" can't help but make Du Wei a little bit excited.
"Hmm... is there anything to pay attention to when using it?"
"There's nothing to pay attention to, just don't stay in the sun for too long."
Du Wei was confused.
"Huh? Isn't this a parasol?"
Senior sister Duo Ke nodded and said.
"It's a parasol, but it can only last for about half an hour."
