I am the descendant of a dark wizard, and I will inherit the family fortune.

The clerk was very happy and immediately came out from behind the counter.

When he got closer, Leon realized that the woman's facial features were very delicate, a bit like the Earth Flower.

However, the biggest difference between the two is that this clerk is too powerful.

After just a few steps, Leon felt dizzy.

He admitted that this was probably the most exaggerated thing he had ever seen in his two lifetimes combined.

"Brother Leon, hello, my name is Florence, and I'm Professor Dora's future student."

"Future...student?"

Florence smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'm a clerk here. Teacher Dora told me that if my sales reach one million gold shields, she will take me in as a student."

Leon:?

"Excuse me, when was the last time you saw Teacher Dora?"

Florence counted on her fingers, "Two and a half years have passed!"

Leon now has reason to suspect that Teacher Dora might have just been dealing with her casually...

"Brother Leon, wait a moment. Professor Dora sent me a message asking me to prepare a bottle of potion for you as a gift for discovering her shop."

As she said that, Florence went back to the counter with a trembling voice and took out a bottle of black potion.

"The first-level magic potion, Purple Cloud Liquid, is strictly speaking a first-level advanced magic potion. After drinking it, one can better connect with the earth, and it is very helpful for learning and performing earth-based witchcraft.

It can also beautify and nourish the skin, directly eliminating the side effects of living underground for a long time."

Leon feels that the latter role is the greatest.

Then, Florence continued, "Professor Dora gives each student a bottle of Purple Cloud Liquid, except for Senior Brother Lu Yang."

Hearing this, Leon was indeed curious.

"Well, Senior Brother Lu Yang doesn't have it? Why is that?"

Florence looked at Leon's face and whispered, "I also heard it from Senior Sister Billie that time. She said that it was because Senior Brother Lu Yang was not good-looking. Teacher Dora would only give Purple Cloud Liquid to good-looking students, for fear that the students would become ugly..."

Leon and the people behind him: ...

Perhaps realizing that her words had damaged Dora's glorious image, Florence quickly added, "Although Senior Brother Lu Yang doesn't have Purple Cloud Liquid, he does have Siren Tears, which will improve your strength even more!"

Leon asked: "Which of these two bottles of potion is more valuable?"

Florence's expression froze for a moment, and she smiled awkwardly, "The Purple Cloud Liquid is a little more expensive, just a little, not much..."

Okay, I get it. What else can Leon say to this teacher who recognizes his looks?

I can only say that the teacher is wise, and I will do my best to repay the teacher in the future.

Although Florence looked a little dull, she did things meticulously. She carefully placed the Purple Cloud Liquid into the box, and then tied a beautiful bow on the box with a ribbon.

Leon reached out to take the potion and was about to say goodbye. Florence was still a little reluctant and told him aggrievedly that she should come and visit more often when she had time.

……

Walking out of Dora's shop, Richard pointed to the street and said, "There are now eleven official streets in Xige Town. The first one is where the Xige Chamber of Commerce and the Life and Death Stage are located."

"Wait, a life and death stage?"

Richard was stunned, then quickly apologized, “Master Leon, it was my negligence, I…”

"It's okay, tell us now."

"In the Black Bone Forest Academy, there's a dueling arena where you can resolve disputes through duels. The life and death arena on the ground is similar. Whether you want revenge or have a business dispute, you can resolve it on the life and death arena.

However, as the name suggests, the duel arena may not decide life or death, but the life and death arena will definitely decide life and death.

If life and death cannot be decided, the person in charge of the life and death stage will execute both parties in the duel.

Because once they are on the stage of life and death, they are also on the gamblers' table."

Richard said it lightly, but several people still heard the cruelty in it, especially Weimon and Silla. They had already made up their minds to try not to go out in the future.

If I were put on the stage for life and death, I would be completely screwed.

Richard continued the previous topic, "Except for the first street, the second, third and fourth streets are known as the first business district. The shops here are basically opened by major forces or colleges themselves.

The next three streets are the second business district, and the last three are the third business district.

The bosses behind the second business district are mostly wizard families, while the third business district is populated by independent wizards. However, the third business district also has the worst security situation.

"Senior sister's shop is in the second business district?"

Richard nodded and said, "Master, you are wise. The young lady's shop is located at No. 15, Sixth Street. This is also where Weimon and Silla are temporarily living."

Following the alley and crossing several streets, Richard pointed to the shop next to him and said, "Master Leon, we are here."

Billie's shop is only half the size of Teacher Dora's, or even smaller, but the decoration is very good, and there are several customers buying things inside.

The shop’s sign is very simple, perhaps to imitate Teacher Dora, “Billie’s Shop”, which is the name of the shop.

Of course, there’s also Billie’s personal stamp in the lower right corner of the sign.

"Manager Richard, I'd like to ask, if I want to rent a shop here, how many gold shields do I need?"

Richard hesitated for two seconds, but still said, "I don't know about other shops, but this one, miss, costs 80,000 gold shields a year."

"Eighty thousand gold shields? Can this shop's annual profit be eighty thousand gold shields?"

Richard suddenly said with a bitter face: “I knew I couldn’t hide it from Master Leon. In fact, the annual profit of this store is only 40,000 to 50,000, and it needs family subsidies every year.”

After hearing what Richard said, they all felt a little confused.

Why do you still do it even if you lose money?

"Then why does Senior Sister still insist on opening this store?"

"Master Leon, there are two reasons. The first is naturally a symbol of status. A wizard family that can open a shop here is at least not too weak.

Moreover, opening a store here can also help you gain some connections. The families behind the businesses next to us have already reached a cooperation with the Talison family. Last year, several of them joined forces to open a new sleepyhead mushroom farm.

But these are not the most important.

Even without these, the young lady and her family would continue to insist on opening the store.

Because the industries under the Black Bone Forest, including potions, minerals, magical beasts, and most importantly, the various materials obtained by the academy from developing the other world, will be supplied to merchants like us first."
