Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology
Chapter 104 Visiting Leader Lorica to Negotiate the Opening of a Shop
They were currently staying at a hotel near Witte Tower, so it was just a short walk away.
Kashen took Blainey's hand and walked into the Witt Tower together. They had made an appointment a few days ago, so they were allowed to walk through the magic circle to enter the tower.
The first floor is the display cabinet of Witte Tower's magic items. Most of them are high-tech products from the Magic Island, such as the puppetry series of products, of which there are more than ten kinds.
"Kashin, you see, Viteta is very powerful in puppetry. Come back and see us after we finish our talk."
"Miss, magicians are all extraordinary people. It is incredible that they can create puppet objects..."
Soon an apprentice ran over and asked, "Who are you two?"
"Hey, young man, I have an appointment with Mr. Lorica Witt, please lead the way."
The apprentice brought the two to a magic circle on the east side and gestured for them to stand inside. Then the apprentice walked in, holding a magic staff and muttering something, and the three of them appeared in another magic circle in a flash.
When Kashin looked at the situation outside, he found that he was already on the sixth floor. There was also a hall here, surrounded by various rooms. The whole place was spotless and very clean, and there were magic lights everywhere.
The apprentice respectfully escorted the two to a south-facing room, knocked on the door three times, and then said with a smile as warm as the spring breeze, "Please wait a moment, I'll leave you now."
About two minutes later, the door slowly opened, and a young magician appeared in front of him. His smile was as bright as the sun, and he said, "It must be Miss Blaney! Please come in!"
The office is spacious and the work areas are clearly laid out. There is no need for partition walls and everything is clear at a glance. The furnishings are exquisite and it looks very high-end at first glance.
The surroundings were filled with flower pots of green plants, like a vibrant forest. The young lady was cordially invited to sit at the conference table, and Kashin stood quietly behind her like a loyal guard.
After a while, Master Lorica walked out from the side door. His smile was like a blooming flower and he was very polite. There was an owl standing on his arm and he was stroking it lovingly like a kind father.
"No need to stand up, sit down! Johnny, serve this beautiful and elegant lady a cup of authentic fire element coffee. Haha, the warrior behind is so handsome, like a male god..."
"Master, you are really good at complimenting me. I want to open a pocket watch shop near you, so I came to discuss the rent and tax with you."
"Girl, please follow the rules. Even if you beg me, it will be useless. I will not reduce taxes. What I want is to treat all businesses equally. There is no room for cheap shops on Viteta Street. What matters here is order. It is a paradise for upper-class consumers."
Blaney smiled and said, "Master, you misunderstood. I like the tailor shop called Mingliu Juzi. It has a very good location and a large enough area. It will definitely be very high-end after renovation. So please ask the master to move it. I will give reasonable compensation for the loss of the tailor shop. Such a good shop is just a tailor shop, which is inconsistent with your basic concept!"
"You! Little girl, I won't scold you because you are still young. Get out of here. The tailor shop has been inheriting the skills for six generations and is well-received by magicians. They are old customers of my family. How can I drive them away?..."
These words made the old wizard so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
It was not easy for Blaney to find out the market and meet the master. The opportunity was rare. If he messed up, he would not be able to do business here. How could he talk nonsense and ruin his own fortune?
"Master, please calm down. There are still some shops on the street. I'm not driving people away. I don't run a tailor shop. The pocket watch shop sells extremely high-end products. The decoration must be impeccable. It will definitely be a benchmark for the entire street and will enhance the grade of the entire block, just like the finishing touch. I will compensate them for their losses at a reasonable price. Master, please calm down. Take a look at my disciple's design drawings first, and then make a decision."
This statement certainly makes sense. It's just a move. The customers of the tailor shop follow the customers. The move won't have much impact...
Master Lorica's expression eased slightly. Looking at the girl in front of him with a smile as beautiful as a flower, the anger in his heart instantly dissipated without a trace. He took the design drawing and muttered to himself, "How to decorate a pocket watch shop? This master has never seen it before."
The store is designed in a luxurious palace style, with exquisite art paintings hanging on the walls, as if they came from the long river of history, telling the story of the years; and the sculptures are like sleeping elves, waiting to be awakened. The design of the large skylight is even more ingenious. During the day, the sunlight penetrates the room like a golden waterfall, and at night, the crystal lamps hang down like bright stars, ensuring that the indoor light is always as bright as day.
There is no need to worry about the high temperature in the summer, because there is a powerful constant temperature array here, which is like an indestructible fortress, guarding the coolness of this world.
They can afford this kind of high technology and don't care about the cost of energy consumption. What they care about is this unparalleled style.
Although the display cabinets are few in number, they are arranged in a well-organized manner, just like the twinkling stars in the night sky. There are several sets of coffee tables and chairs placed at the window, exuding a strong artistic atmosphere. Here, people can leisurely taste coffee and appreciate pocket watches, as if they are in a palace of art, making the goods look particularly noble.
The master exclaimed: "A pocket watch shop? No, this is simply a palace of pocket watches! Which magic master created such an ingenious design?"
"I am a humble disciple, and I hope the master will teach me and give me some pointers!"
"Haha, it's really unique. The street really needs such a shop to set a benchmark. Well, if it doesn't affect the business of the tailor shop, I am willing to give it a try."
Blaney stood up and said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you very much, Master! The conditions for opening a pocket watch shop are very demanding. Without a great location, it would be impossible to succeed. If this is accomplished, it will be of great benefit to this street."
Master Lorica was well versed in the market, so he naturally agreed with Blainey's statement. He took out a gold pocket watch movement from his space ring.
"Little girl, did you make this thing?"
These magicians are wealthy, so they are naturally eager for new gadgets. It is understandable that they would take them apart for research. Some of them are simply attracted by the huge profits behind them and want to learn something from them.
Blaney smiled slightly: "Although I don't know alchemy, I am quite interested in design and appearance, and I am also a collector of pocket watches. The master who can make this thing has a trade secret, so how could he easily disclose the technology?"
"If you invite that master here, the conditions are up to you. With his alchemical skills, he can join our family and enjoy a top-notch alchemy room in the magic tower."
The principle of movement is not only used in watchmaking, but also in many other fields. If the puppet's precise movements were equipped with a timing device, it would be even more powerful.
There are already alchemists who have disassembled the movement and installed it in the core of their beloved puppet, which has greatly improved the performance. No one can complete the micro parts in the movement by just making a few parts and repeatedly training their proficiency and success rate.
So Master Lorica needs someone who can make movements, no matter how much it costs.
