Magic Shop System

The day passed. When Kadyn went inside the Meditation Room, he focused on activating the lightning stars. Though the Darkness Walker needed just six stars; it wasn't a battle spell—as the dark elemental spell, it would lose most of the effect in the day. So he decided to focus on lightning instead, as he'd already awakened three stars.

When the light of the day devoured the darkness and the brilliance had scattered on the Avibria city, Kadyn opened his eyes and walked out of the room. He looked at his watch. It was 6 'o'clock. There was still time before the shop opened.

As Kadyn exited the Meditation Room, Elora also walked out—a smile blossomed on her charming face when she saw him. "I have brewed another potion, brother." She said with a proud face.

"Oh, which one is it?" Kadyn asked curiously. Though he could brew any elementary potion by himself. He lacked time—and could only hand this work to his beloved sister. Although her success rate wasn't as high as his, it wasn't bad either.

"It's Potion of Purification." She stated and folded her hands on her chest, appearing extremely satisfied with her work.

"Oh, show me." He said. "The Potion of Purification is used to purify the impurities from the body. It's also used for body strengthening. Though the effect isn't that great. All in all this is a fine potion."

Elora passed the vial filled with yellow brew—Kadyn held the potion and examined it.

As he saw the data about the potion, his eyes narrowed in confusion. The last time Soothing Drop he brewed was also an intermediate grade potion. However it was priced at 1000—on the other hand this one at 2000. The difference was huge.

Kadyn thought for some time and turned towards his sister and asked. "Was brewing this potion harder than Soothing Drop?"

Elora blinked and bobbed her head. "Yeah, it was harder. I failed over... umm 30 times before I brewed this." Her face flushed in embarrassment as she said this.

Kadyn opened his mouth a few times to say something, but the voice failed to come out of his throat.

Isn't the failing rate too high?

Then how did you succeed in brewing the intermediate potion in one go?

Kadyn shook his head. Whatever the reason was, whether it was a fluke or talent, he was happy for her—the price of the potion must depend on its effect and the brewing difficulty.

"Take this." He passed the potion back to her. "Your healing element is the support type. You need to strengthen yourself. If you can't do that with elemental power, make your body strong. In that situation, you won't be completely helpless in a time of peril. After all it's better to prepare for the worst-case scenarios."

Elora nodded in understanding. Though she was proud of herself for having the healing element and had already become a potioneer. The truth was that she was weak, and she didn't want to remain that way for the rest of her life. Else, she would become a burden for Kadyn. After all the strong revered in this world and the weak laughed by the masses.

——

The duo had breakfast together and opened the gate for customers afterwards. The crowd stumbled into the shop one by one, trying to possess the head of the snake. However when they saw Kadyn, the line became straight, and no one dared to push anyone. As everyone knew how arrogant this shopkeeper was. He would throw them out of the shop if he didn't like them. He cared for no one.

Though some of them were stronger than him. They would not let the chance to practice or meditate here go to waste just for a petty scuffling; and Kadyn knew this well, so he cared little about the decorum of the shopkeeper. He, who is eager to get benefits, will come here. No matter what his attitude was.

Furthermore, he wasn't good at communication skills, and he had no intention to learn them. He would treat kindly those who treat him kindly. Not the other way around. As Kadyn collected the money from the first customer, the others behind whispered among themselves—

"Hey, have you heard about Zephyr the White?" a boy said.

"Are you talking about the dragon who lives in the Ice Crowned Hills?" another kid said.

"Oh, I have heard a little about it. They say his fire is not fire but ice." The third boy chimed in with an excited look on his face.

"Yeah, the same one. Do you know something big has happened and it's related to Zephyr the White?" the first boy whispered, trying to mystify the atmosphere. He was quite an excellent storyteller.

"Oh, come on, tell us already," someone could take this no more and urged at the first boy and others followed. The dragons were legendary existence in this world that fascinated magus and ordinary people altogether. Everyone wanted to hear tales about them.

"Hehe, then let me tell you: recently Zephyr has gone insane. He destroyed over ten cities of the Magic Association. In which the most famous is—Okpool."

"What?! How could this be, Okpool is one of the greatest cities of Magic Association—an elder of the Association is the protector of that place. How could it be destroyed that easily? Why does no one know such a thunderous piece of news? What is the source of your information?

Furthermore, the dragons are as intelligent as humans. I don't believe that it has gone crazy. There must be a reason behind his actions." Someone objected, blaming the first boy for passing the false information. Others also nodded. His words made sense. If something like this had happened, the news had spread like a wildfire.

"What do you know?" the kid sneered, looking at these morons disdainfully. "One elder of the Magic Association failed to protect the city. Do you think the Association would let such news spread that easily? It is a shame to them!

"They did everything to suppress it—to avoid the distress in the hearts of the masses—to protect the prestige of the Association. However, how could such a piece of news be concealed for a long time? Just wait a few days and you will hear everyone talking about it."

Kadyn listened to the heated discussion and raised his brows when someone mentioned the dragon. His heart pounded furiously, excitement shone in his eyes.

Does that mean this world has dragons?!
