Chapter 402: Destiny
After a while, after official registration with the kingdom and completion of all formalities, a seemingly ordinary alchemy shop opened at No. 14 Marigold Street.
The shop owner is a young man with a slightly weak temperament. His skin is pale as if he has not seen the sun for many years. He has a gentle face and seems easy to bully.
However, after several bully mercenaries who came to cause trouble were turned into beasts on the spot and then thrown out of the door, no one dared to come to cause trouble again.
Since that day, 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 is already considered a big shot who cannot be messed with in the central city of Malamos.
According to nearby residents, the traveling wizard seemed to have come from the distant Gloria Empire. He had crossed several kingdoms in the Federation along the way and was 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 are always superior to the locals.
In this era, the unguarded wild areas between kingdoms are full of monsters and bandits, and are full of deadly dangers everywhere.
Apart from those mercenary groups and caravans, the vast majority of ordinary people and low-level professionals in the Federation may never leave the borders of their kingdom until they die.
But the emergence of constructed airships in recent years has changed all this.
The prosperous scenes of those big cities were described in detail by many well-dressed people who came from there. It seemed that the outside world was full of opportunities and gold coins, and you just had to bend down and pick them up.
After listening to those people's descriptions, many people could not bear it anymore and became increasingly dissatisfied with their current lives.
The recent news about the discovery of lost treasures of the Sky City in various places has magnified people's desire to get rich overnight to an extreme.
So, with their dreams in mind, they sold their property at a low price, used all their savings to buy a one-way airship ticket, and headed to a more prosperous big city to seek their fortune.
This has led to a further loss of population in areas that were previously less prosperous.
The original owner of the house bought by Anvis was also one of these gold rushes, but Anvis was not optimistic about his future.
In Avis's eyes, the fate of the middle-aged man who had already boarded the Silver Moon Kingdom's airship was a bit gloomy. It seemed that he was about to be cheated of all his savings and then work for nothing in a factory.
There is also a feeling of being sold by others and helping others count money, and even attracting customers for yourself.
But no matter what, after buying this house on the street, Anvis temporarily gained a public identity and a place to stay.
Since the various alchemical tools he sold were relatively cheap and of very good quality, he gained some fame after receiving positive reviews from many buyers.
However, what surprised the shop owners from other industries in the surrounding area was that this store seemed to be very popular with those foreigners.
The number of foreigners wearing all kinds of strange costumes who come to this store every day is much greater than that of other stores nearby.
At the same time, Landon also brought his sister to the address left by Avis and asked Avis for help with treatment.
In the name of facilitating his research, Anvis allowed Landon and Leah to stay with him temporarily, and provided three meals a day for the siblings for free.
In order to repay Avis for his help, Landon took the initiative to help receive customers in Avis's store during the day without asking for any salary, and then went to work in the tavern at night.
Anvis didn't care about Landon's actions. To 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 could be given in certain situations, and asking him to memorize it, Avis was happy to let Landon take care of the customers while he went into the laboratory to study Leah's symptoms.
"Brother, is there any hope that Leah's illness can be cured?"
In the laboratory, a thin, silver-haired girl sat on a light silver lab table, watching Avis adjusting some magical equipment nearby, and asked with some hope and caution.
"Don't worry. If the research goes well, your disease should still be curable."
As he spoke, Avis handed a bottle of light green potion to the girl.
"Come on, drink it and then get some sleep."
The girl nodded obediently, drank the potion that Avis had made sweet, and then fell into a deep sleep under the effect of magic.
After taking a look at the girl lying on the experimental table, Avis put on alchemical gloves and began to collect her blood sample.
It was not difficult for Avis to cure the little girl Leah's crystallization disease. She was still in mild symptoms and only needed a few special topical medicines.
What he was going to study was the special conditions of the young girl's body.
As the non-blood-related 'sister' of the son of destiny, Landon, the girl also has a lot of secrets.
In Anvis's impression, Leia was born from an ancient hidden family in the Federation, and the ugly birthmark on her face was not something she was born with, but the result of her own blood problem.
Her blood showed a strange inertia and a sense of death, which made it impossible for the blood detection ritual to determine her true blood concentration, and she was also unable to use her blood ability. She looked as if she was born useless.
But in fact, according to Avis's observation, this situation was caused by a strange toxin lurking in Leah's body.
This poison did not cause any harm to her body, but it always suppressed her bloodline power, making it impossible for her to use it freely.
If Avis had not known about it beforehand and had not deliberately conducted targeted observations and tests on her blood, even now he would not be able to detect the presence of this special toxin by instinct.
Curious about the existence of this toxin, Avis tried to extract some of it 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 about half a month of treatment, the crystals on the girl's arms have clearly shrunk. If she continues like this, I believe her crystal disease will soon be completely cured.
That special toxin was troublesome to resolve, but according to the fate line, it didn't need Avis' help to resolve it.
As long as Leah continues to follow Landon, she will eventually be freed from the poison and awaken her bloodline in a certain adventure. Not only will the birthmark on her face disappear, but her talent and strength will also take a leap forward.
But at this moment, a special situation suddenly occurred, causing a small stir in the city.
Someone discovered a mysterious relic from ancient times in the forest outside the city of Malamos.
But what is very special is that this relic only allows people below the level of formal professionals 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 gather information, rushed back to the store and found Avis, his tone filled with uncontrollable excitement.
