What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 116 New Store

Every time Roy came to Twilight City, he would feel as if he had passed away.

The changes here are simply too great.

The city wall of Twilight City was already dilapidated, and it couldn't even be called a city wall. There were only a few sections of broken walls left.

Successive Gray family lords did not think about repairing it.

Colin simply tore down all the existing city walls, and the demolished bricks and tiles were given to nearby residents to repair their houses. The foundation of the new city wall was already being laid, but depending on the location, it obviously expanded a lot.

Roy rode in a carriage, and instead of going directly to the fortress to find Colin or Jennifer, he came to a newly built mansion in the city and unloaded a large amount of goods brought by the convoy in the yard.

"Thank you, Lord Roy."

A thin old man in a plain linen shirt came out of the house and greeted him cheerfully.

"Old Harvey, I almost couldn't recognize you in this suit." Roy walked over with a big smile and hugged the old man.

"I can't help it. The master said that Xia Ya is no better than Thunder City, so everyone should keep a low profile." Harvey still had that friendly look.

"It's really embarrassing for you. Who would have thought that Ms. Phinea would be willing to let you come and sit in Winter City in person, so you don't have to worry about the business in the Western Continent?"

"It's progressing relatively smoothly there, but Winter City has just started and needs someone to look after it."

Ever since Ke Lin expressed in his letter that he hoped that the Gold Chamber of Commerce would open a branch in Twilight City, Phineya has seriously considered this matter. From a business point of view, a place like Xia Ya is obviously unprofitable. Even if it is to sell Ke Lin's face, there is no need to spend too much money.

However, this shrewd lady was keen to capture a difference.

Colin Wayne has always been a humble and low-key person. He is very sure about things, but he can only say six points. Every time he always says that if you try it casually, you can make big things. Examples such as photo cameras They can be found everywhere, but this time she actually made such a request straightforwardly. Obviously, Xia Ya had some changes that she didn't know about.

That being the case, it would not be appropriate to send a few random people here as said in the letter.

After thinking about it, since I don't know Xia Ya's situation at all, and the distance is too long, reporting back and forth takes time, I simply send Harvey over.

This old housekeeper who has followed the Feniya family for two generations is second only to Feniya in authority in the chamber of commerce, and even surpasses Feniya in terms of experience.

It has been more than two months since Harvey came to Twilight City. After meeting Colin Wayne, he opened four shops in the city to test the water according to the other party's requirements and ideas.

The first week, four stores.

Harvey, who saw the situation in Twilight City, had actually expected this result. Most people here don't even know what money looks like, so how could they come to the store to buy things?
The people of Twilight City used to be in a barter mode. A few necessities such as salt were also exchanged for food or other things from places designated by the fortress.

After the new store opens, many people will look in curiously from the outside, but dare not approach it at all.

But from the second week onwards, the store's business ushered in an epic growth-the revenue exceeded a silver shield.

109 copper strains.

This amount of money can't afford a carriage ride in Thunder City, and it's not enough for those noble ladies to drink a cup of coffee.

But here, it is a breakthrough from zero to something.

Harvey later learned that it was because of the first "salary" issued by departments such as the alchemy workshop and the logging team.

In the eyes of most workers, taking care of food is already the biggest reward after work, but it is of course a fresh and pleasant experience to get the legendary copper plant.

Although they have been told where the money can be spent, few actually go to the store to buy things.

On the one hand, it feels unnecessary, on the other hand, it is reluctant.

But someone will always try.

This is the origin of the turnover of the 109 copper plants.

Someone started it, and things will be much easier to handle later.

Although the business is still not "good", at least everyone has dared to enter these spacious and bright shops-although these workers who have just received money often just ask, and then leave with copper stalks.

Most of the goods in the store were purchased from the surrounding territories and countries at a high price by the fortress. In addition to the cost of transportation, the current selling price has actually lost the bottom of the sky, so it cannot be sold.

Consumption concepts cannot be developed overnight, not to mention that the most important thing in Winter City is productivity, not the market.

Every time Roy transported books, he would fill the spare truck with light and practical goods and pull them to Winter City to fill the shelves of the store.

Inside the castle.

After Roy handed over the shipped books to Anne, he ran off to find Jennifer.

Because the library hadn't been built yet, all the new books were placed on the first floor of the castle, but fortunately the place was big enough.

……

……

Colin woke up from exhaustion. Last night's experiment failed again, which made him somewhat irritable, so that he sat on the floor of the laboratory and watched the huge wind-nuclear collider in silence all night. Hours.

It's clearly in front of you, but you can't always grasp it.

There was no progress for a full nine months, which was the longest bottleneck since he crossed.

He didn't use the morning time to catch up on sleep, but got up at seven as usual, then washed and dressed, and walked out of the room.

As soon as he reached the first floor of the castle, he stopped Roy in the corridor.

"The government affairs hall's dormitory has been built, and Jennifer is now moving there."

"Aha." The big head smiled awkwardly: "I'm not looking for her, our brothers haven't seen each other for two months, so of course I'm looking for you to catch up with each other first."

"I will believe you?"

"Hey, well, I put away all the books and goods, so nothing will go wrong."

"Well, the Chamber of Commerce will still let you bring the goods?"

"That's right, after Ms. Phinea knew the price you paid for other people's things, she insisted that I bring more goods."

"Let her not worry about this." Colin said indifferently: "But Harvey is indeed a talent, and he does things very solidly."

"Of course, old Harvey was there when the chamber of commerce was established. He was the one who watched Phinya grow up. Ms. Phinia herself joked: She had an idea in Thunder City, and old Harvey was there in Twilight. Winter City can receive it... how outrageous, haha..."

"Ah……"

Just as Ke Lin was about to open his mouth to laugh, he froze in place.

Then he fell into silence with dull eyes.

Roy talked to himself for a long time, and suddenly found that his friend did not respond at all.

"What's the matter with you?" Big head leaned over worriedly.

"Synchronize...receive...get rid of...elemental entanglement..." Colin murmured dumbfounded, "I'm such a fucking idiot!"

"What?" Roy didn't hear clearly.

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck the brain, and it seemed that it had captured something that it had been unable to grasp for a long time.

"Go get your Jennifer."

Colin drove Roy away and almost ran back upstairs.

……

inside the laboratory.

The windows covered by movable wooden boards cannot let in a ray of light, and all the lighting in the room only depends on a few luminous stones on the wind nucleus collider.

Ke Lin picked up the experiment notes and saw that the last record above showed: the 16th ontology experiment, time...Experiment result: failure...guessing the reason for the failure...

He took the notes and walked to the magic circle on the left side of the collider.

Maybe it was because he had failed too many times, but this time he didn't have the slightest psychological burden.

Even the deep breathing that had to be done before was omitted.

"Synchronize...receive...get rid of...entanglement..."

Colin murmured and repeated a few words, then threw the notes on the floor behind him, and took the 17th step towards the huge magic circle.

The strange and complicated magic pattern emitted a bright light.

next moment.

The whole person disappeared, leaving only a pile of clothes.

And at the same time.

The magic circle on the right also emitted a dazzling light.

Colin Wayne appeared on the symmetrical magic circle, completely naked, with his hands on his hips shamelessly.
