Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 58 Order
Miss Rattle came prepared.

Although Ethan accepted her invitation, he was also prepared. If Miss Rattle took him to places that violated public order and morality, he would snort and walk away. However, he still committed the sin of judging people by their appearance because he made a wrong judgment based on her dress and figure.

He conducted deep self-reflection.

"This place is called Xingdi Lane. You can find almost all shops related to the mysticism here, including high-level magic scroll shops, potion shops, astrology societies, and magic bookstores..."

Rattle introduced Ethan with a smile, saying that to please others is the basic principle of the consortium in treating people. They conducted a lot of investigations and found that this elemental shaper who suddenly appeared not only liked to release ice arrows into the Black Sea, but his only hobby was to hang out in the magic bookstore on the merchant ship.

He also asked the bookstore manager about books on teleportation magic, but left disappointed when he learned that the store did not have such high-level magic books.

Thus, the image of a scholar who has gotten rid of vulgar interests and is obsessed with mysticism comes to life before our eyes.

But it makes sense. Heisenberg looks very young, but to be able to achieve such accomplishments in both elemental shaping and magic scroll drawing, he must have put in unimaginable effort. He might have even used his sleeping time to study.

Ethan was immersed in the rich academic atmosphere of mysticism in Xingdi Alley. Here, you can see pedestrians wearing magician robes and holding magic books walking on the street. If there are groups of three or two, they must be discussing a certain spell in depth.

Even the street lights have been transformed into pumpkin style, with the pumpkin's eyes inlaid with energy-storing crystals, illuminating the road beneath your feet with cool light.

Most of the people in Astral Alley are magicians, followers of Khadra, the god of trickery.

As the only two most common "mages" in the empire, in Ethan's cognition, their spell system is more like that of wizards, famous for their ever-changing spells. He guessed that most of the high-level magicians mastered spells such as "Avada Eats Big Melon".

"By the way, since we were unable to contact you yesterday, there is one thing we have not yet obtained your consent for. Please do not blame us for being presumptuous."

As he was speaking, Xiangwei suddenly stopped.

Ethan looked up, and the imposing sign lit by energy-storage crystals immediately came into view.

Lao Sen Magic Scroll Shop.

Both the size of the store and the decoration inside the store are much more luxurious than the VIP area of ​​the merchant ship. At this moment, the service staff in the store are already in place. They are dressed in uniform, wearing the same masks, and are cleaning the store.

Everything is ready, except the shelves are empty, as if waiting for the arrival of a magic scroll painter.

He could use these resources to quickly improve the skill level of elemental mapping. Although the customized business solved his urgent needs, such output was destined to be unable to quickly improve his proficiency. After three orders, his elemental mapping still remained at the elementary (24/45) stage.

If it were someone else, they would probably gladly accept this wealth that fell from the sky.

“It’s a bit presumptuous indeed.”

Ethan woke up from his beautiful fantasy. He fully believed that the store was equipped with a luxurious magic scroll drawing workshop. This reminded him of the choice that the chemist Heisenberg once faced. The drug lords also provided Heisenberg with a "laundry".

There is no free lunch in this world.

He said, "I have no plans to be employed by anyone for the time being."

"I completely understand your concerns, but the consortium believes that a talented elemental shaper like you should not even have a decent store. You can think of this as the consortium's investment in you." "Are you suggesting that I should go to the Imperial Reserve to borrow some start-up capital?"

"Although I don't know what happened, it seems that you have a deep prejudice against the consortium. The consortium will not make any demands on you. Whatever you want to sell in the store is your freedom."

"So, what you mean is that you have no standards, no sales, and no rewards, and you are providing me with the store located in the heart of Xingdi Alley for free. Do I look like someone who is easily deceived?"

At this point, Ethan paused for a moment and continued, "I have only seen magicians along the way. There is also an astrology society here, which means you have close ties with the astrology society. So you must have heard that the relationship between magicians and elemental shapers is not harmonious."

Wherever magicians are entrenched, elemental shapers will definitely not be seen.

Even he, who lived in a small town on the border of the empire and was extremely isolated from the news in the field of mysticism, knew about the grudge between the two sides.

Not long ago, the owner of the merchant ship's magic scroll shop made an evaluation of the basic element spell scrolls, which is also a microcosm of the elemental shaper in this era.

With the rise of gunpowder and firearms, low-level elemental spells have gradually lost their market. Compared with elemental magic, which has a single functionality and can only be used in combat, today's nobles and wealthy businessmen prefer spell-type magic scrolls, which have a wide variety and a wide range of applications.

In this fierce market competition, elemental shapers became the losers.

The change in the market environment has made magicians become respected and sought-after objects, while elemental shapers can only return to their ivory tower - the academy, like old craftsmen abandoned by the times.

Ethan believed that the Lofik Group must be aware of this background. After all, most of the occult shops in the empire had their capital, and the prices of magicians and magic scrolls were manipulated by them behind the scenes.

There was nothing good about setting up a magic scroll shop owned by an elementalist in the heart of Stardial Alley.

However, he has not yet figured out the purpose of the consortium's actions. If they just want to use the magician to mock or humiliate him, that would be too low-level.

"It seems that nothing escapes your eyes. The consortium just wants the magicians to return to the state of competition they once were. They have been standing still for too long and were easily surpassed by your magic."

Miss Rattle smiled and complimented, "You can also think of this shop as a reward for your first order."

"Order?"

"Your spells are impressive. This is an order that only you, Mr. Heisenberg, can complete. No matter how many materials you need to use or what kind of assistants you need, the consortium will do its best to meet your requirements. We only have one request."

The pair of purple snake eyes stared at Ethan, and after the politeness and greetings, the venomous snake seemed to finally show her fangs.

"We would like to order a spell from you - a spell that can get rid of the Imperial Knight Commander."
