The surface of the female knight's silver-white armor shimmered with tiny black and red lightning.

The Lightning Battle Sword glowed with a scarlet light, and lightning crackled on its blade.

Black and Red Thunder?

The lightning's color was eerie, somewhat like a power that only Abyss Devil could wield. Its color was strange, but the lightning itself lacked that malevolent power.

It gives her a domineering feeling, that kind of "kingly domineering".

Moreover, the quality of this greatsword is outstanding.

The female knight gently swung her Lightning Battle Sword, and black and red lightning streaked across the void.

She could easily wield this Lightning Great Sword with one hand?

It was clearly a two-handed greatsword, but she could swing it with one hand without using any force. Normally, using such a greatsword with one hand would definitely require a certain amount of strength.

"It seems that Lightning Battle Sword is quite fond of you as its new master. If you really like it, you can take it home for 30,000 gold coins. Considering that this is your first time purchasing a source power weapon worth over 10,000 gold coins from our store."

This store will automatically upgrade you to a member. From now on, when you come to this store to purchase weapons, items, potions, or cards, you will receive a discount of two gold coins on top of the original price.

This time, we're giving away a free Source Power Item worth 300 gold coins: the Paper Doll Prop.

The young dragon took a sandalwood box from the counter where the Source Power Item were displayed and handed it to the female knight.

The female knight placed the Lightning Battle Sword on the counter, opened the box, and inside was a crystal card that emitted a faint purple-gold light.

Instruction manual included.

S-level Paper Doll Prop: After activation, the user will turn into a paper doll. It does not affect the user's movement. The user can travel far on the wind and float into the bedroom through the crack in the door. If in danger, the user can hang themselves on the wall to avoid risks.

Users are encouraged to explore and develop additional uses based on their needs.

Number of uses: nine.

After nine uses, the item will automatically become ineffective.

It has a limited number of uses and is a consumable Source Power Item.

This was the first time she had ever seen Source Power Item that could turn someone into a paper doll.

He gave away 30,000 gold coins worth of Source Power Item worth 300 gold coins and even repaired her Silver Eagle for free. When did such a boss appear in Alchemy City?

His shop not only sells source energy weapons and Source Power Item, but also cards and potions. Generally speaking, shops run by Extraordinary Person sell a very limited range of products.

Extraordinary Person skilled in weapon forging open shops that only sell a variety of Source Energy weapons.

Like cards, only highly skilled card makers can open shops to sell cards.

The same applies to potions.

Human energy and talent are limited, making it impossible to master several skills simultaneously.

"Boss, did you make all these Source Power Item, cards, and potions yourself?"

"You're overthinking it. I have a team. The Source Power Item, cards, and potions are all made by the big shots in my team. I'm in charge of sales."

I see, that makes sense then.

Some bosses in the Alchemy City do indeed cooperate with powerful individuals.

Some shop owners even secretly collaborate with Abyss Devil the abyss.

Not only some shop owners, but also the higher-ups in the Alchemy City are cooperating with the Abyss Devil.

All the major temples are aware of this matter and turn a blind eye to it. As long as the higher-ups of Alchemy City can control the Abyss Devil, the temples will not punish Alchemy City.

The Alchemy City has grown into a behemoth, secretly wielding power capable of rivaling that of the Temple.

"How should I pay you 30,000 gold coins? Should I give you cash directly, or should I add you on my Projection Communicator and transfer the 30,000 gold coins to your projector communicator account? Add me on my Projection Communicator."

Lance gave the female knight the projection communication account of the owner of the [Other Dimension Goods Mystical Shop].

Xia Lulu.

The female knight's name is Xia Lulu.

After receiving a friend request from the female knight Xia Lulu, the owner of Mystical Shop soon found an extra 30,000 gold coins in his projection account.

I've met a rich young lady.

To be able to produce 30,000 gold coins at once, one must be from a very wealthy family.

"Boss, there have been thieves roaming the Alchemy City lately, and they're not ordinary thieves, they're demons. Some people's familiars are demons, and at night they send their demon familiars to silently sneak into shops and steal valuable goods."

"Your new shop has just opened, so be careful at night. I'm the sheriff of the Alchemy City, and I'm currently in charge of tracking down these thieves. My Silver Eagle turned into that form while fighting a demon."

"Demon!!!"

Lance's tone became much sharper, and a hint of fear appeared in his golden-red eyes, but he quickly recovered. "It's alright, my team are all strong. Even demons would have to kneel to get out."

"Don't worry, boss, I'll have my men increase the patrols tonight."

"Thank you, please come back in three days to pick up your Silver Eagle."

"Okay, I have other things to do, boss. I'll leave Silver Eagle to you. I'll come back to pick it up in three days."

"Um."

The female knight, Xia Lulu, picked up the Lightning Battle Sword, put away the Paper Doll Prop, nodded to Lance and the young dragon, and turned to leave.

"Lanlan, Lance, did you hear that? There's a demon! Should we pack up all the merchandise in the store tonight?"

"Don't worry, we have vicious dogs. We'll have them guard the shop tonight."

"That's right, we can have Er Gouzi come."

"Er Gouzi is not a vicious dog. The vicious dog I'm referring to is the dog with horns on its head in our villa."

"???"

The young dragon felt that the evil dragon wanted to "use someone else to do its dirty work."

That vicious dog looks ferocious, but if it were to encounter a demon, it would probably end up on the demon's dinner table, becoming a pot of dog meat hotpot.

It would be more appropriate to have Er Gouzi manage the shop.

Er Gouzi is Hellhound; he can bite those thief demons so badly that he could break their bones.

"That vicious dog is Chloe's pet. Chloe will be sad if it dies. Why don't we let Er Gouzi take over?"

Lance chuckled and patted the baby dragon's head, wondering if he should give his dragon cub a compendium of Abyss Devil.

The Abyss Devil Encyclopedia isn't suitable to view here. We can show it to the dragon cub when we return to Black Dragon Island tonight.

"We'll talk about it tonight."

"Oh, then I'll go count how much money I made selling the Transformation Potion this morning."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

The young dragon hopped and skipped toward the medicine cabinet area, which was at the very back of the shop. It felt safe counting money there, without worrying about being robbed.

The sound of gold coins clinking together was quite pleasant. How come she never noticed this when she was Imperial Daughter? The young dragon took out all the gold coins she had earned that morning and happily counted them.

Lance transferred the 30,000 gold coins he earned to Saint Blue.

Earning 30,000 gold coins a day, at this rate, it won't be long before I can earn 800,000 gold coins.

Lance returned to his chair, poured himself a cup of tea, took out a book, and began to read while sipping his tea.

Learning has no end.

Dragon Island Dragon Island n't appear. If it had, he wanted to see Dragon Island had a library. If it did, he wanted to read through all the books in the Dragon Island library. If possible, he also wanted to copy them all and leave them to the dragon cub as an inheritance.

The afternoon sun streamed through the windows into the shop, shining on Lance and bathing Lance in a thin layer of golden light.

The young dragon, counting the gold coins, was stunned by what it saw.

At this moment, the dragon looked dazzling. The way he sat there reading a book made him look exactly like a noble young master from an ancient aristocratic family. If one didn't know that his true form was a black dragon, who would believe that the person sitting there was a giant dragon? At this moment, the dragon gave the young dragon a sense of unreality. Oh dear!

Oh no, how many did I just count to?

Hearing the sound of the dragon's claws touching the gold coins on the table, the young dragon abruptly turned its gaze away from Lance. Oh well, it'll have to count them all over again. A few Extraordinary Person entered the shop intermittently, but few actually bought anything; most just looked and then left.

At 5 p. m., Lance told Longzai to pack up and get ready to leave work.

Young Dragon was dumbfounded when he heard Lance's words. It was still daylight and he was already off work?

They only arrived at 3 PM, and the store closes at 5 PM?

Who opens a shop like this? Isn't it a bit too casual?

"Should we leave a little later? What if the guests come later?"

"That means he's not meant to be with our store's products today."

"."

Even as a boss, he's still so capricious? The young dragon suspected that the evil dragon was using the guise of making money to subsidize Saint Blue to come to the Alchemy City for a vacation. "Where are we going after work so early?"

"Let's go to the sanatorium run by the elves and take care of our health."

"!!!"

The dragon is definitely here for a vacation in the Alchemy City!!! "Isn't that a bit of a waste of money?"

"Using money for enjoyment is not a waste for us. Haven't you heard the saying: 'Even if you spend all your money, it will come back again'?"

Let's go; money is just something external to us.

"Money is not something external to you. Without money, you won't even have the money to marry someone you like."

The young dragon muttered something under its breath.

Lance laughed and punched the dragon cub on the head, "You deserved to be punished for ruining my Dao Heart."

The young dragon covered its head and followed Lance out of the shop.

Lance posted the opening hours on the store door.

Morning: 9:00 to 11:00.

Afternoon: 3 p. m. to 5 p. m.

Four hours of business a day? The Extraordinary Person of Snowscape Street came over out of curiosity when they saw that the newly opened Mystical Shop was closing so early. When they saw the business hours on the door, they were dumbfounded.

In the Alchemy City, this was the first time they had ever seen such a capricious shop, only open for four hours a day.

Can you really make money from this?!

"Boss, can you even make money during these business hours?"

"Whether we make money or not is not important, being happy is what matters. But today's prized possession has sold for 30,000 gold coins."

"???"

Under the watchful eyes of some Extraordinary Person, Lance left Snowscape Street with the dragon cub. He dared to show off because he wasn't afraid of being targeted. Occasionally, he wanted to share his happiness with others.

There aren't many people like him who are willing to share their happiness with others. I hope these people can cherish this happiness.

Around 7 o'clock, Lance appeared at the Elf Sanatorium with the dragon cub.

The elves in the Elf Sanatorium are all female, including pure-blooded elves and mixed-blood elves, with the majority being mixed-blood elves.

"Hello sir, if you would like to experience it, please come in and take a look at our spa's packages."

"Good."

Upon entering the store, an elf girl handed Lance a menu.

Lance took the menu and looked at it carefully. The baby dragon moved closer to Lance and looked at it too. She had never experienced the healing treatment of an elf before.

16 Gold Coin Package: Foot Bath and Elf Massage. Duration: One hour.

36 Gold Coins Package: Foot bath, full-body massage, and unique elven fumigation. Duration: 1.5 hours.

56 Gold Coin Package: 96 Gold Coin Deluxe Package: "Two 96 Gold Coin Deluxe Packages".

"Sir, are you sure you want to order the deluxe meal for Xiaolong next to you as well?"

"Um."

"Sir, Xiaolong, please come in."

The Elf Sanatorium is filled with all sorts of treehouses, which emit a soft glow.

The air was fresh, and there was pure elven music playing, like flowing water and towering mountains. It was very atmospheric.

Lance has a treehouse, and the baby dragon has a treehouse.

"Please wait a moment, sir. The foot bath solution is being prepared and will be delivered to you shortly."

"Hmm, no rush."

The petite elf retreated, and about ten minutes later, a Rabbit-Ear Girl elf wearing a work uniform came to Lance's treehouse carrying a basin of water.

Lance panicked a little. Why were there Rabbit-Ear Girl?

The sanatorium run by the elves should be fine, right?

"Sir, your foot bath solution is ready. A spirit will come to help you prepare it for the old man shortly!"

"Meredith?!"

Lance was dumbfounded. The Rabbit-Ear Girl was Meredith? What was this child doing in the Alchemy City? She was the mascot of the Bronze Bounty Guild, how did she end up here? And working at the Elf Sanatorium? Had the Bronze Bounty Guild gone bankrupt? "What are you doing here?"

"I also want to ask you, sir, what are you doing here?"

"I'm the boss here."

"And you?"

"Earn money part-time."

"???"

"The Bronze Guild went bankrupt?"

"No, no. We came to expand the market in Alchemy City, but it's too cruel here. I haven't eaten meat for over a month since we opened the branch."

Last Day of Gods, we finally got a bounty mission to help a knight capture Lightning Dragon Horse. We were trampled by that pack of Lightning Dragon Horse Horses five or six times. The meager bounty we earned wasn't even enough to cover our medical expenses. To avoid going back looking disheveled, we occasionally take on side jobs.

"Us?"

"Yes, Louis, Bazel, Dalton are here too. They should be working part-time as well, old man. We're so miserable, sob sob."

"It's alright, not too bad. I'm in a much worse situation than you guys."

"???"

"How tragic is it?"

"I went traveling for a month, and when I returned to Saint Blue, my little territory had inexplicably become a duchy, and I, the count, had inexplicably become a grand duke."

???

A count becoming a grand duke? You call that tragic?!

Etc!

Saint Blue?

Grand Duke?

A duchy?! Old Man Lance has become a Grand Duke?!

Are you kidding me?

It's only been a short time since we last met.

Next time they meet, will she have to call the old man "Your Majesty"?

"Damn it! Old man, you're a duke now, and you still say you're miserable?"

"I am indeed a Grand Duke, but Saint Lan has developed too quickly and is facing a financial crisis. I urgently need one million gold coins. I am already quite old, and I still have to come out to work to earn money to support my territory. Is there any Grand Duke as miserable as me?"

One million gold coins?! That's an astronomical figure.

Whether she could earn that much money even if she lived to be over a hundred is another matter.

However, one million gold coins shouldn't be much to the old man, who was once the biggest corrupt official in the Ander Kingdom.

One million gold coins, just a matter of a word.

"Looking for Andre, old man, the Golden City. Have you forgotten?"

"I gave it to Andre as a gift for our reunion."

"Grandpa, why haven't you ever been this generous to us?"

"If we can meet again after two thousand years, I will also give you a gift."

"."

Two thousand years. It would be good if they could live for five hundred years, or even less. They could just live long enough to outlive Old Man Lance.
