At the Cloud Marsh Wetland's technical seminar, all the upper-level members of the Shop Alliance lowered their heads and held Lingzhi Magic Plants while checking Arthas's sales rankings. When they saw Augustus Wizard Shoes launch its fifth genuinely available product, even putting it up for presale, and watched its sales rapidly climb to third place, they fell silent.
Many of the wizards from Solas Barefoot closed their eyes.
The Second-Ring designers of Solas Barefoot wore mocking smiles, while the many Crystallization Wizard, Liquefaction Wizard, and Vaporization Wizard designers from Solas Barefoot, who had been permitted to attend the technical seminar as observers, all lowered their heads and looked dejected.
The Moon Ring supervisor was almost grinding his back teeth to dust.
"It's in second place now. On Arthas's current sales rankings, the top two wizard shoes are both from Augustus Wizard Shoes."
"Those traditional wizard shoe shop alliances and brands are completely useless. Before Solas Barefoot left Arthas, they couldn't enter the top five. Now that we and Meraki Magicstep have left Arthas, they've actually lost the top two places."
The Moon Ring supervisor frowned. If this continued, it would alarm the people above them.
The mainstream wizard shoe Shop Alliances of the Cloud Marsh Wetland all pointed back to the same place—the Rose Council and the Rose Witch.
Wizard shoes were the private domain of her and her two Third-Ring Wizard students. Everyone had always known this.
The trouble was that even if they brought the greater situation to bear against Locke Augustine, Locke Augustine had the Red Dragon Witch, Witch Catherine, behind him.
The Red Dragon Throne and the Rose Throne had always been rivals.
Only now did the Moon Ring supervisor realize that something was wrong. They might already have been dragged into a battle between Thrones.
