Chapter 402: Destiny
After a while, after registering with the Kingdom and completing all the formalities, a seemingly ordinary alchemy shop opened at No. 14 Marigold Street.
The shop owner was a young man with a slightly weak temperament, with a pale complexion as if he had not seen the sun for many years, and a gentle face, and he seemed to be easy to bully.
However, when several bully mercenaries who came to the door to cause trouble were turned into beasts on the spot and then thrown out, no one dared to come to the door to cause trouble again.
From that day on, people living nearby knew that the unremarkable shop owner was actually a fourth-level spellcaster!
Although Malamos City is the capital of the Kingdom of Morn, as a remote small kingdom with a small territory, the current ruler of the Kingdom of Morn is only seventh-level.
A fourth-level intermediate spellcaster, placed in the central city of Malamos, is already a big shot that cannot be provoked.
According to the understanding of the nearby residents, the traveling wizard seems to be from the distant Gloria Empire. He has crossed many kingdoms in the Federation along the way and is now preparing to rest here for a while.
Of course, in the eyes of these residents, people from the Gloria Empire and other prosperous kingdoms in the Federation are actually the same, and they are always superior to the locals.
In this era, the unattended wild areas between kingdoms are rampant with monsters and bandits, and there are deadly crises everywhere.
Except for those mercenary groups and caravans, most ordinary people and low-level professionals in the Federation may not leave the borders of their kingdoms until they die.
But the emergence of constructed airships in recent years has changed all this.
The prosperous scenes of those big cities are described in detail by many well-dressed people who came from there. It seems that there are opportunities and gold coins everywhere in the outside world, and you just need to bend down to pick them up.
Listening to the descriptions of those people, many people can't bear it and are increasingly dissatisfied with their current lives.
The recent news about the discovery of lost treasures in the Sky City has magnified people's desire to get rich overnight to an extreme.
So, they sold their property at a low price with their dreams in mind, used all their savings to buy a one-way airship ticket, and went to more prosperous big cities to pan for gold.
This led to the loss of population in those less prosperous areas.
The original owner of the house bought by Avis was also one of these gold rushes, but Avis was not optimistic about his future.
In Avis's eyes, the middle-aged man who had already set foot on the airship of the Silver Moon Kingdom had a gloomy fate line. He looked like he was about to be cheated of all his savings and then work in a factory for nothing.
There was also a feeling of being sold and counting money for others, and even recruiting customers for himself.
But anyway, after buying this house on the street, Avis temporarily gained an open identity and foothold.
Since the various alchemical tools he sold were cheap and of good quality, he became famous after receiving favorable comments from many buyers.
However, what surprised the shop owners in other industries around him was that this shop seemed to be very popular with foreigners.
The number of foreigners who came to this shop every day in various strange costumes was much more than that of other shops nearby.
At the same time, Landon also followed the address left by Avis and brought his sister to ask Avis for help in treatment.
In the name of facilitating his research, Avis allowed Landon and Leah to stay with him temporarily, and provided three meals for the brother and sister for free.
In order to repay Avis for his help, Landon took the initiative to help receive guests in Avis's shop during the day, and did not ask for salary, and went to work in the tavern at night.
Avis did not care about Landon's actions. For him, no matter what Landon did, it didn't matter at all. The power of fate would make Landon encounter corresponding events at critical moments.
After giving Landon a table with the prices of various commodities and the maximum discounts that can be given in certain situations, and letting him memorize it by himself, Avis was even happier to let Landon take care of the customers on his own, while he went into the laboratory to study Leah's symptoms.
"Big brother, is there any hope that Leah's disease can be cured?"
In the laboratory, the thin silver-haired girl sat on the light silver laboratory table, watching Avis adjusting some magic equipment nearby, and asked with some hope and caution.
"Don't worry, if the research goes well, your disease should still be cured."
As he said, Avis handed a bottle of light green magic potion to the girl.
"Come on, drink it, and then have a sleep."
The girl nodded obediently, drank the potion that Avis had made sweet, and then fell asleep under the effect of magic.
After looking at the girl lying on the laboratory table, Avis put on alchemical gloves and began to collect her blood sample.
It was not difficult for Avis to cure the crystal disease of the little girl Leah. She was still in mild symptoms and only needed a few special external medicines.
He was going to study the special condition of the girl's body.
As the "sister" of the son of destiny, Landon, who was not related by blood, the girl also had a lot of secrets.
In Avis's impression, Leah was born from an ancient hidden family in the Federation. The ugly birthmark on her face was not born with her, but the result of her own blood problem.
Her blood showed a strange inertia and a sense of deadness, which made it impossible for the blood detection ritual to determine her true blood concentration, and she could not use her blood ability, looking like a natural waste.
But in fact, in Avis's observation, this situation was caused by a strange toxin lingering in Leah's body.
This toxin did not cause any harm to her body, but it always suppressed her blood power, making it impossible for her to use it freely.
If Avis had not known it in advance and deliberately observed and tested her blood, even now he would not be able to detect the existence of this special toxin by instinct.
Very curious about the existence of this toxin, Avis tried to extract some of this toxin from her body.
At the same time, taking the opportunity to treat the girl's crystallization disease, he also collected a lot of blood and tissue samples.
After a treatment period of about half a month, the crystals on the girl's arm showed a clear trend of shrinking. If this continues, I believe that her crystallization disease will be completely cured soon.
It was very troublesome to remove that special poison, but in the destiny line, it didn't need Avis' help to solve it.
As long as Leah continued to follow Landon, she would eventually remove the poison and awaken her bloodline in a certain adventure. Then not only would the birthmark on her face disappear, but her talent and strength would also leap forward.
However, at this time, a special situation suddenly occurred, causing a small wave in the city.
Someone discovered a mysterious relic from ancient times in the forest outside the city of Malamos -
But what was very special was that this relic only allowed people below the official professional level to enter and explore.
"Sir Vio! Have you heard? It seems that a special relic appeared outside the city!"
When the news spread, Landon, who had gone out to inquire about the news before, ran back to the store in a hurry and found Avis, with an uncontrollable excitement in his tone.
