Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 42 Frequent visitors
In the next few days, Ivy devoted herself to the cases of the former investigators of the Asylum Bureau being murdered one after another. She locked herself in the apartment all day and did not go out. Ethan maintained a life of going to and from work. During the day, he and Captain Hagrid posted notices everywhere, went to the guild to persuade hunters not to leave the town easily in the near future, and explored Hearth Bay at night.

The layout of Hearth Bay was basically the same as he had imagined. The several merchant ships docked at the pier were all legal shops, mainly for the convenience of trade between civilizations in different regions. The goods related to mysticism were basically of the lowest level.

"If you want to buy something more expensive, you have to find a way to go to the small town."

The young man holding a glass of beer and talking eloquently is a waiter in the bar. His "stage name" is Shepherd. He is as thin as a monkey and comes to Fireplace Bay to work to supplement his family income. His father was originally a worker in the Imperial Military Industry, but lost his life in an explosion a few years ago. The pension has not been paid yet, and his mother remarried. Now he has to support three brothers and sisters by himself.

So when Ethan gave the shepherd 3 golden lions as a dividend for each business, they became best friends almost immediately.

With motivation, the shepherd worked harder. Not only did he help with the shouting, he also handmade small cards with Heisenberg's name and the magic scroll shop information on them.

In his words, his younger brothers and sisters couldn't go to school anyway and had nothing to do at home, so he might as well let them help make some small cards.

Although Ethan was very grateful to the shepherd, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he saw the beautiful and sexy girl on the card.

If the card hadn't said "Lao Sen's Magic Scroll Shop", he would have thought that he had set up some shady business that was not worthy of being mentioned in public.

The shepherd patted his chest and assured him that these cards were very popular in their city. Almost every resident had one. They couldn't afford to print the cards themselves, so they went to the back alley of the Pink Lady Club to pick them up. After picking them up, they painted over the original information on them and wrote relevant information about the magic scroll shop.

On the night of receiving the dividends, the shepherd took his brothers and sisters to a restaurant in the city to have a meal of fried beef. His brothers and sisters were now full of energy.

Seeing that he had said so much, Ethan no longer raised any objections.

And tonight, he treated the shepherd to a beer and a slice of bacon bread and talked about the town.

Maybe he could find the teaching materials on teleportation magic he needed there.

"How can I get the qualification to enter the town?"

"A savings card above the Black Gold level issued by the Imperial Bank means that you have a deposit of at least 5000 Golden Lions."

The reply was as expected. 5000 gold lions was an unimaginable sum for the lower-class people of the empire, but for the nobles, it was just an admission ticket to the party. Ethan heard that the nobles in the small town might spend so much money in one night.

Their wealth was so great that it couldn't even be contained in a sack, so the Lofik Group provided them with a way to pay by credit card.

"Besides this?"

"I heard through the grapevine that if you are a master of mysticism certified by various associations, you should also be able to get an invitation letter from the consortium."

The identity of a high-level extraordinary person can get along well with anyone anywhere, but the title of "Master" mostly requires a certified license of level three or above, and no one will buy into an "illegal household" like him.

The shepherd noticed Ethan's look and said regretfully, "Then there is only a third way left, an introduction by an acquaintance. Don't you provide high-end customization services? If you meet some distinguished guests, maybe you can get a letter of recommendation from them."

Ethan's eyes lit up. This was the most likely way to achieve it in the short term.

But, that's not good enough.

Ethan never believed in such things as pie in the sky. Instead of waiting on the Black Sea, it is better to take the initiative to look for opportunities. "Give me a few small cards. If you succeed, I will give you 5 gold lions as dividends."

"Five Golden Lions!? It's a deal, don't go back on your word!"

The shepherd was shocked by the number. Of all the guests he had met, Ethan was the most generous to him. He quickly took out a thick stack of advertising cards from his jacket pocket and gave Ethan one third of them.

His heart was pounding. If he had these five golden lions, he could ask someone to help him fix the roof that was leaking rain and snow, and he could also buy some thick clothes and quilts. After all, winter was coming soon.

"Am I that kind of person? We are partners now."

"Partner? What's that?"

“It means we can make money together.”

Ethan patted his chest and promised, "If I make a lot of money in the future, you will definitely be a big part of my benefit." After leaving this message, he took the card and went straight to the entrance of the town. He did not get close, but waited by the side of the path. This was the only way to enter the town. All those who walked out of the town were people of prominent status in various countries, and he needed to find a suitable time to meet someone who seemed to need help.

This wait lasted most of the night.

When Ethan saw a little girl in a white lace dress and high heels running out of the town angrily, he knew his chance had come.

This little girl, who was only in her early teens, looked like she needed some magical assistance.

Because she was cursing as she ran, "What kind of magic expert are you? You can't even do such a small thing! A bunch of scoundrels and liars!"

The butler in a black tuxedo hurriedly followed behind him with an awkward smile on his face.

The little girl was tired from running and stamped her feet in anger.

Ethan held the advertising card in his hand, saw the opportunity and appeared in front of the little girl. He smiled and said the lines he had prepared for a long time, "Miss, are you in any trouble?"

Upon seeing this, the old butler immediately stood between the little girl and Ethan vigilantly, glancing at the guards standing guard in the town.

"I just heard you mention magic experts. I happen to know a little bit about elemental magic and can provide you with customized services. Here is my business card."

The old butler took the business card alertly and made a decision with just a glance.

"Guards, there's a pimp here!"

The guard's stern look at the kidnapped underage girl immediately ruined the encounter that Ethan had carefully crafted.

"Shh! Don't shout. Look carefully before you speak. I run a magic scroll shop. I make magic scrolls!"

"Magic scroll?"

The old butler sneered and raised his eyebrows, then turned to the little girl and said, "Miss, this is the scammer I mentioned to you. They will use sweet words to make you let down your guard, and then trick you into those dirty and filthy places!"

Several guards agreed with this. They only needed to take one look at the sexy girl on the card to understand everything.

They surrounded Ethan.

"This is blatant slander! We don't even know each other, how can you assume my occupation?"

Ethan defended himself loudly.

"slander?"

The old butler was full of disdain. "One look at the card will tell. Do you still want to deny it now?"

He didn't even need to read the lengthy introduction at the end, his mind was as clear as a mirror.

Ethan asked him, "What on earth do you understand?"

"Need I say more?" The old butler's eyes narrowed, he clenched the card in his hand, and suddenly raised his voice, "I am a frequent customer of this store!"

This heroic declaration caused the scene to fall into silence. Even Ethan widened his eyes in disbelief and forgot to refute for a moment.

The first to react were the guards.

Before the old butler could make any further speech, he pressed his shoulder.

——"Take this old man away too."
