Chapter 126 Opening (Please collect)
Simon entered the room and was questioned by Wizard Archie, while Charlie took Carl aside.

"Let's forget about this matter."

Charlie whispered:
"You will need Simon's help when you work in the pharmacy in the future. Please don't make things so awkward between the two of you."

"Brother." Carl frowned:
"He was the one who caused this incident. I'm willing to live in harmony with him, but I'm afraid some people don't want to."

"..." Charlie stroked his beard and sighed helplessly:
"Simon has been working with his mentor since he was very young. Thirty years have passed, so he must have some feelings for him."

"We will be gone in a year, and the instructor certainly doesn't want the store to have any troubles during this year."

Carl shook his head.

Thirty years!
He still failed to become Simon's disciple. It seemed that Wizard Archie was not very satisfied with Simon, at least not in terms of his practice.

I guess he was just treating him as a business assistant, but now he is too deeply bound to her and it is difficult to get rid of her.

It’s actually not difficult to drive Simon away.

But what next?
Running a store requires many suppliers, prices have to be negotiated, and all kinds of trivial matters have to be dealt with.

The key is,
Wizard Archie and Charlie will be leaving in a year. They don't have the energy to find new suppliers or run the store, after all, they can't take these things with them.

As long as the store doesn't get into trouble and operates steadily during this year, it will be enough.

"squeak……"

The door opened and Simon walked out with a gloomy face.

"Brother Charlie."

He glanced at Karl and said coldly:

"You know me. I've put so much effort into this shop. I won't let anyone destroy it."

"Someone deliberately framed me in this matter!"

"Simon."

Charlie sighed:

"Let's just leave it at that. I've already notified other pharmacies to stop buying Harold's medicines."

"The reputation of the pharmacy cannot continue to be damaged."

Several pharmacies in the market are connected privately, which can effectively prevent malicious bidding.

It is also possible to unify prices and make money more easily.

Harold will definitely be boycotted by other pharmacies if he passes his inferior products off as high-quality ones, and he will only be able to sell them privately in the future.

Charlie's meaning was also very clear. He didn't care what the truth of the matter was, but it couldn't affect the business.

"You two should talk more."

Patting Carl on the shoulder, Charlie smiled and said:
"I have something else to do. I'll go first."

He obviously intended to give the two some time alone together, perhaps hoping that they could reconcile.

"Humph!"

Watching Charlie's back going away, Simon snorted coldly:
"Karl, I have followed Wizard Archie for thirty years. Do you think you can drive me away with such a little trick?"

"I advise you to worry less!"

?

Karl looked surprised. If he hadn't known that he was innocent, he would have thought that he had wronged the other party.

"Simon."

Gently shaking his head, he spoke slowly:
"Next time you find someone, find someone who keeps a tight lid on things. People like Harold won't help you keep secrets."

"in addition……"

He smiled softly:
"The pharmacy is the business of the Six Ring Tower. You are just an outsider after all, so you must be clear about your position."

Having said that, he ignored the other person's blushing face and walked towards the door with interest.

…………

"Peng!"

Private room on the second floor of the pub.

Simon slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, his eyes turned red with anger.

"drink!"

The big man Fela smiled and handed over another glass of wine:

"Keep drinking!"

"As long as I can vent my anger, you can smash the wine glass. I will pay for today's consumption."

"Fela." Simon's cheek muscles twitched and he gritted his teeth.
"Don't you know a group of assassins outside the market? Help me contact them. I want to kill that Carl!"

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!" The big man Fela's face changed:
"He is a disciple of the Six Rings Tower. If something happens to him at this time, you will definitely be the first person to be suspected."

"not worth it!"

"..." Simon gritted his teeth:
"Is that the end of it?"

"Not really." The big man Fela's eyes flickered:
"Actually, Simon, I know your abilities very well. If you didn't want to be the wizard Archie's teacher, why would you have to endure this kind of grievance?"

"But the situation is clear now. Wizard Archie will leave in a year. He will not accept you as his disciple, let alone take you to the continent of Kalim. Decades of hard work cannot be exchanged for sincerity."

Simon's expression froze, his eyes showed reluctance, shame and anger, then he raised his glass and drank it.

Thirty years!
How many thirty years does a person have in his life?
The reason why he had been busy running the shop for thirty years was to become a disciple of the Six-Ring Tower and go to the legendary Karim Continent.

right now,

It's all over!

From this point of view, causing trouble for Carl might be Simon's way of venting his dissatisfaction with Archie the Wizard.

"my friend."

The big man Fela helped him fill his glass with wine and whispered:
"Have you ever thought about going out on your own?"

"Go it alone?" Simon was stunned:
"What do you mean?"

"You can find suppliers for dozens of potions sold in the pharmacy. Without you, Wizard Archie's pharmacy would not be able to continue." The big man Fela smiled and said:

"It is also because of this that even if you make a mistake, Wizard Archie will not dare to kick you out easily."

"Right?"

Simon nodded slowly.

It was because of this support that he dared to instruct Harold to tamper with the blood recovery potion.

of course,

He also didn't expect that Carl would be able to find out.

"Since you can support the business of the pharmacy, why do you work for others instead of doing it yourself?" The big man Fela said:
“You can earn more money this way.”

"You think I haven't thought about it." Simon snorted:
"Not to mention that if I go out on my own I will offend Wizard Archie, but I can't afford the shops in the market."

The cheapest shop in the market requires tens of thousands of magic stones, and you also need to pay taxes and prepare stock.

Without 20,000 or 30,000 magic stones, it can't be opened at all.

This is just a shop in a remote corner. If you want to open a shop near Archie Wizard Pharmacy, you will probably need 50,000 to 60,000 magic stones.

It is difficult to expand a private business. He has tried before, but in the end he just had to work honestly.

"What are you worried about?" said the big man Fela:

"Wizard Archie?"

"He's leaving soon. Besides, there are far more than just one official wizard at the Leipzig market. It's easy for him to find someone to back him up."

At this point, he finally talked about his purpose:
"You also know that I followed the young master of the Capet family. The young master has always wanted to have his own business."

Ok?
Simon raised an eyebrow.

"You mean, you want me to work for the young master of the Capet family?"

If he had the Capet family as his backer, he wouldn't have to worry about Wizard Archie taking revenge out of dissatisfaction.

"No!"

The big man Fela waved his hand:

“It’s not working, it’s cooperation, working together!”

"Young Master can vacate a shop in the market, and the two of us can provide the connections, the people, and find the suppliers."

"We'll share the profits among ourselves!"

"Share it together?" Simon narrowed his eyes:
"What kind of distribution?"

"This..." The big man Fela hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Eighty-two points!"

"Young Master gets 80%, and the two of us get 20%. However, we also need to invest 5,000 magic stones as capital, otherwise we will just be working for others."

"Five thousand magic stones?" Simon's cheek twitched:
"You have that many?"

"Haha..." The big man Fela smiled:

"We will both pay for this. I will pay 3,000 magic stones, and you will pay the other 2,000. We will split the profits in half."

"With the pharmacist we both know as suppliers, it shouldn't be difficult to start a pharmacy business, right?"

"Or……"

He looked at Simon and smiled:
"You've followed Wizard Aqi for so many years, but you can't even take out 2,000 magic stones?"

…………

"Mr. Karl."

The saleswoman Tracy came up to him and whispered:
"The blood recovery potion, strength potion, and immunity potion are already out of stock. There are also several other potions that are running low in stock in the warehouse."

"Got it." Karl's face was calm:
"For the time being, we will sell what we have."

"Yes." Tracy nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke carefully:
"Do we need to tell Charlie the wizard's apprentice?"

During this period, the conflict between Carl and Simon was clearly known to several people in the store.

They didn't care who would give in first, they were just worried that if their business was bad they would be scolded by Wizard Archie.

It would be even worse if I lost my job because of this.

After all, Wizard Archie paid a good salary, and safety was guaranteed in the market.

"Need not."

Carl waved his hand:

"Brother Charlie and Wizard Archie have other things to deal with. There's no need to disturb them over such a small matter."

Tracy opened her mouth, looking speechless.

The store’s business is almost going out of business, and this is still a small matter. What is the big deal?
"actually……"

Tracy's eyes flickered, and she lowered her voice and said:

"The wizard apprentice Simon approached me privately a few days ago. He wanted to invite me to work as a salesperson in his shop."

"They said the pay would be higher than here, but I didn't agree."

"Oh!" Karl raised his eyebrows, looking thoughtful:

“Is he going to open a store?”

"It should be." Tracy nodded:
"The alchemist who supplied us has been out of stock intermittently during this period. This may be the reason."

"Got it." Carl nodded:
"Work hard, the business here won't fail. When the business picks up, I'll give you a promotion and a raise."

"Yes." Tracy smiled sweetly:
"Then I'll get busy."

The reason why she did not agree to Simon, and even told Carl, was that even if she liked the store, it had a six-ring tower as a backing.

no matter what.

The store can't go bankrupt!
As for Carl's mention of a salary increase, Tracy just listened to it casually and didn't take it to heart.

As long as the other party doesn't let the store go bankrupt, she will be satisfied and doesn't care about promotion or salary increase.

"Open a pharmacy?"

Karl thought for a moment, then stretched his muscles and walked out of the store.

The Leipzig market was very busy. Even though it was almost evening, there were still crowds of people and many shops were full.

In order to facilitate management and prevent disorderly expansion, the Capet family deliberately controlled the number of shops in the market.

There are only a few shops of each type.

Only when one of the shops goes out of business will there be extra shops for sale.

Therefore,
The shops in the market are not only expensive, but also in great demand. Even if ordinary people have enough magic stones, they cannot buy them.

"Simon has really climbed to the top!"

Karl muttered quietly, continued walking, and finally stopped in front of a store with five shops.

This shop is probably the largest one in the market, mainly dealing in witchcraft and magical items.

"Dear guest..."

"Mr. Carl!"

The receptionist recognized Karl's identity and hurried forward to greet him:

"Is there anything you need?"

"Is Sam here?" Carl asked:
"I want to discuss a business with him."

"Master Sam?" The receptionist nodded:
"He's on the second floor. I'll take you up."

Sam,

A prominent young member of the Capet family.

He is only in his early thirties, but he is already a senior wizard apprentice and is expected to become a formal wizard within ten years. "Mr. Carl."

Sam is tall and straight, with a deep and delicate look. He has a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon, and his hair, which is as black as obsidian, shines with luster, showing his noble and pure blood.

The Capet family is not only a wizard family, but also has high-level blood. They can also advance to legends by taking the path of knights.

"I've heard for a long time that a group of new people have come to the Six Ring Tower, but I never had the chance to visit them. I didn't expect Mr. Karl to come first."

"sit!"

He greeted enthusiastically:
"Sit down quickly."

In the eyes of other local people, the Six-Ring Tower is just a force with some background and has had a Second-Ring wizard.

But it certainly cannot be compared with the big forces that control the market.

But the top families are well aware of the terrifying existence behind the six-ring tower.

even,

For thousands of years, the reason why the Magic Forest has not been able to achieve true unification is that several major forces on the continent of Kalim have been secretly manipulating it.

"You're welcome."

Carl sat down, took out a book and put it on the table:
"I have a wizard inheritance here that I want to sell. Master Sam, please give me an estimate of the price."

"Just call me Sam." Sam waved his hand modestly:
"I didn't expect to see the inheritance from the Six Ring Tower today. I can't wait."

"No!" Carl shook his head and explained:
"I received this inheritance from someone else. It is not from the Six Rings Tower, and its grade is not high either."

"Oh!" Hearing this, the excitement in Sam's eyes instantly faded a lot, but he still did the business:
"That's okay too."

"Collecting various witchcraft inheritances is what every family has been doing. However, if we have already collected the inheritance in Mr. Karl's hands, it would be difficult to sell it at a high price."

"I understand." Carl nodded.

Soon.

Sam put down the book in his hand with a look of regret.

"It's a relatively common wizard inheritance, belonging to the Earth Department of the Natural School. Fortunately, the explanation is quite clear."

He hesitated for a moment and said:
"A ten-year buyout, I can offer three hundred and sixty magic stones."

The so-called ten-year buyout means that the inheritance cannot be sold to anyone else within ten years. Of course, passing it on to disciples does not count.

Ten years later, it’s up to you.

As for signing a wizard contract to buy out the wizard completely, this is a treatment only available to special witchcraft or high-level inheritances.

In fact, for an inheritance of this level, there is no need for it to go through his hands; the people downstairs can handle it.

Three hundred and sixty magic stones?
Carl's eyes lit up slightly. This price was higher than the one he inquired about, probably because of the Six-Ring Tower's reputation.

The inheritance gained from dozens of magic stones can be sold for more than three hundred magic stones, which is several times the profit. It can also increase the knowledge reserve. This deal is worth it!
"make a deal!"

After reaching out his hand and shaking hands with the other party, Carl did not rush to take the magic stone and leave. Instead, he spoke again:
"In addition to this witchcraft inheritance, I have another deal I want to discuss with you, Sam. It's a long-term deal."

"Oh!" Sam sat up straight:
"tell me the story."

"The flesh of a legendary creature." Karl said:

"I hope to acquire some flesh and blood of legendary creatures from the Capet family, and purchase them regularly and in fixed quantities."

"but……"

"The meat I want needs some preparation in advance, according to the method above."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper covered with words and handed it over.

Sam became interested.

As a large family that controls a market, it is common for them to go out hunting magical and legendary creatures.

We have been doing business in this area.

Knights would consume flesh and blood to train their bodies, and bloodline wizards would spend huge sums of money to acquire legendary creatures.

However, I have never heard of specially processed meat.

After reading the paper, Sam's expression gradually became serious:
"Mr. Carl, the method you mentioned above seems to be making the flesh of aliens into medicine to assist knights in their training?"

"Almost." Carl nodded:
"Can it be done?"

"Yes! Of course!" As a qualified businessman, Sam has a keen insight into what he has in his hands.

This is a recipe that, to some extent, can subvert the existing knight training potion formula.

pity!

The formula in his hand was not complete, and the key steps were still in Carl's hands.

No wonder it is only called pre-processing. The flesh and blood can only become a complete product after passing through Carl’s hands.

Business!

This is a brand new business opportunity!

Sam held the paper in his hand, and his heart beat faster involuntarily.

"Sam!"

Alan looked radiant today. He changed into a gorgeous wizard robe and held a high-level staff in his hand.

The black hair lies softly on the forehead, and it can be seen that it has been carefully groomed.

"Alan."

Sam walked closer with a smile on his face, a hint of barely perceptible disdain flashing in his eyes:

"Are you really going to open a pharmacy here?"

Today is the opening day of Allen's shop, and Sam, as the eldest brother, was invited to attend.

In fact, he didn't know until the day before yesterday that his brother was going to open a pharmacy and chose this place as the location.

Opposite is Wizard Archie's pharmacy.

"Of course!"

Alan raised his eyebrows:

"I know what you are worried about. The wizard Archie from the Six Ring Tower will leave the Magic Forest soon."

"The new wizard apprentice doesn't know how to run a medicine shop. I'm just opening one here to grab his business."

"You are all afraid of the Six-Ring Tower, but I am not!"

Sam shook his head slightly.

He has always disliked his younger brother because he is spoiled, arrogant, ignorant, and has little talent.

Although they have the same father, they do not have the same mother and their relationship is not close.

"You have to think carefully."

Sam's mouth curled up slightly:

"I believe you put a lot of thought into getting this shop, and you must have borrowed a lot of magic stones."

"If we can't make money, or even can't keep running the business..."

"Think about how to explain to the creditor."

"You..." Alan's face changed:
"Sam, my brother, do you think so little of me?"

Today is the opening day of his store. It would be fine if he didn't send his blessings, but he even cursed himself.

"Heh..." Sam chuckled and stopped smiling.

"Since you have Capet blood in you, I advise you to change your business direction."

"Open a pharmacy here..."

"You'll learn an unexpected lesson!"

"Humph!" Allen snorted coldly:
"I'd like to see what the lesson is."

"Okay." An elder from the Capet family shook his head and interrupted the two people, pointing forward:
"We have guests coming over, don't let outsiders laugh at our family."

The opening of a store is a happy day. Even if he is unhappy in his heart, Alan has to force a smile to greet customers.

"Sam, there's no need to say that about your brother." A tall woman whispered:
"He put a lot of thought into this shop."

"Aunt Millie." Facing the woman, Sam's arrogance was much less restrained, and he spoke in a low voice:
"I know the new wizard apprentice Carl, so I know very well that Alan's shop cannot continue to operate."

Ok?
Millie raised an eyebrow.

Although she is older than the other two, she is actually not that old. However, her outstanding wizard talent overshadows everything else. In the next one or two years, she may be promoted to a formal wizard.

"I heard that Alan poached an important member of Archie's wizard shop, and his shop is already short of potions to sell."

"Why do you say Alan can't do it?"

"Aunt, that's a six-ring tower." Sam sighed:
"They are the top powers from the Kalim Continent. If they show us anything, it will be enough for us to enjoy for a lifetime."

"Alan should have discussed this with me in advance. I saw what Carl showed me. He..."

"No chance!"

Millie still frowned.

She didn't think Sam was exaggerating, it was just that Alan borrowed several thousand magic stones from her.

"Peng!"

With a muffled sound, fireworks burst into life above the market, and the four big words "Allen's Shop" were firmly fixed in the air by witchcraft.

"Wow..."

"it is good!"

"congratulations!"

"..."

The invited guests applauded and cheered loudly, and many passers-by were attracted.

Simon, dressed in a suit, walked out of the shop and performed a wizard's greeting to the crowd in front of the door.

"Allen's shop is open today. Welcome everyone to visit. To celebrate the opening, all medicines will be 10% off for the first three days."

"and!"

He raised his voice and said loudly:
"The medicines in our store are cheaper and more affordable than those in some other stores, and we never run out of stock."

As he said this, he glanced at the pharmacy across the street, and his meaning was obvious.

"it is good!"

As soon as his voice fell, cheers came from the crowd, followed by continuous applause.

opposite.

Carl shook his head slightly and waved to Tracy, Jay and the others.

"Carry the things out."

"Yes."

A few people responded and moved a few long tables to the front of the shop, spread soft red blankets on the tables, and placed a few wooden boxes on top.

In the wooden box,
It's pills.

Their movements were very gentle, completely different from the fanfare on the other side; they just quietly arranged their movements.

However, there are so many people around that it is inevitable that someone will notice what is happening here.

"what?"

Two people dressed as knights came over and asked curiously:

"What are you selling?"

"High-quality beast pills!" Jie's eyes lit up, and he introduced them with high spirits:

"This is a pill made from the flesh of magical and legendary creatures...it's very beneficial for a knight's training."

"Ordinary beast pills can be used for knights to practice, high-quality beast pills can help great knights improve their cultivation, and high-level beast pills can help legendary knights practice."

"Is this true?" They both looked suspicious.

They often see potions, but at first glance, pills look like the residue left after potion refining.

Does it really work?
One of them asked casually:
"How to sell it?"

"It's free!" Jie waved his hand and said:
"This is our medicine shop's newest product. The first one hundred customers within three days can get a free gift of ordinary animal pills."

"One high-quality beast pill costs twenty magic stones, but you must spend one magic stone to buy other things in this store to purchase it."

"Is it possible?" The two looked surprised, and then one of them said:

"Then give me a free one."

"Okay." Jie nodded, took out an ordinary beast pill and handed it over, and said encouragingly:

"You can try it and see how it works."

"Heh..." The other party took the beast pill and tossed it in his hand:

"also."

He still trusted the reputation of Wizard Archie's pharmacy which had been in operation for thirty years, so he just threw the pill into his mouth.

"Well……"

After just a few breaths, the relaxed look on his face disappeared, replaced by a serious expression.

"What's wrong?" The companion's expression became nervous:
"what happened to you?"

"Huh..." The Knight Commander exhaled, his eyes twitching. He ignored his companions and rushed to the counter.
"How to sell it?"

"How to sell it?"

"One ordinary beast pill costs one magic stone, and one high-quality beast pill costs twenty magic stones. Each person is limited to buying one magic stone." Jie was not surprised by the other party's behavior. He did the same thing at that time. He smiled and said:

"Because it's a new product and the quantity is limited, you must buy other medicines in the store before you can buy the beast pills."
