I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

After returning from the new tribe, Youxia went to the branch of the Mage Union. In the office of the president, he refused Minnister's request face to face, using the reason that the wood elves did not want to intervene in other race disputes.

But he didn't speak too coldly, and took out Yolanda's promise and said: "Your Majesty means that if the situation is really serious to that point, even without the request of the four major alliances, our clan will come forward to help. "

After listening to it, Ministe sighed deeply, looking very regretful, but before Youxia left, he still expressed his respect for the wood elf king's response gently and cordially, and also expressed his respect for Youxia's two special missions to send messages. Thanks.

Up to now, Youxia can no longer judge his personality based on the way he treats people on the surface——In the eyes of Youxia who just heard the story, the top executives of the Mage Alliance have become conspiratorialists who are good at acting .

After leaving the Mage Alliance branch, You Xia had time to go back to the small shop he just bought, took out the blackboard that was usually used to write recruitment notices, wiped the handwriting on it, and wrote a new recruitment notice.

Because the storefront of the perfume shop is small, in You Xia's opinion, it is actually enough to recruit only one employee. However, considering the issue of time off and the lack of hospitality if there are too many customers, he finally decided to recruit three employees. staff.

The recruitment requirements for the three employees are different. For two of them, You Xia only requires them to be able to read and write, to be able to do simple calculations, and to be good at communicating with people.

On the basis of the above, the other person also needs to know a certain amount of fragrance knowledge, and has a sensitive sense of smell. It is best to have work experience in perfumery-although this time he does not need to make his own perfume, but based on long-term considerations, Youxia still thinks that he should Train your own perfumer.

In this world, spices are very popular among nobles as an expensive luxury. Their main purpose is to use them as condiments on the table. Of course, there will also be special perfumers who will blend them together and make them into When lit, it emits the aroma of a particular cigarette.

In addition, in the Eastern Continent's Euryade Gate Country, the embryonic form of perfume has already been born.

It is said that their nationals will extract spices from various aromatic plants to make good-smelling perfumes, powders, balms, and even essences. A small bottle of essence can often sell dozens of pieces when transported to the Western Continent The high price of gold coins.

Considering that there is the headquarters of the Pharmacists Union, a group of chemists can always create some unexpected surprises when they get together, Youxia feels that this development is really normal.

He didn't expect to recruit any highly skilled pharmacists in his shop. After all, pharmacists as powerful as Burnis usually have their own spiritual pursuits, such as turning ordinary animals into orcs. Perhaps the most uninteresting study for humans.

Therefore, when writing the recruitment notice, he clearly stated that he wanted to recruit a perfumer who is sensitive to fragrance, or a pharmacist who is interested in fragrance and is not afraid of society.

In terms of salary, the three employees are almost the same, the difference is that the cashier does not include accommodation, but the perfumer not only includes accommodation, Youxia will also give him a certain amount of research funds, once the other party can produce a satisfactory new style with his own efforts Perfume, he will pay for the formula of this perfume.

After writing the recruitment notice, You Xia carefully checked the content on the blackboard, and after confirming that it was correct, he put it under the eaves of the new store, and said to himself: "I hope there will be a powerful perfumer." Bar!"

The clouds are thick tonight, blocking the moonlight.

The twilight was gloomy, and the night wind was extremely bleak. It was not until nine o'clock, and the residential area of ​​Alser Street was completely silent.

You Xia walked through the quiet alleyway, felt the cold wind blowing from his neck, and thought in his mind that it seemed that the time to go to the warehouse to unload goods should be brought forward in the next period of time, although he was not very afraid of the severe cold with his wood elf physique. , but considering that Bart, who manages the warehouse, is an ordinary human race with inconvenient legs and feet, it is embarrassing to let the other party wait for him so late in the severe cold every day.

With this in mind, he couldn't help speeding up his pace and turned into the narrow alley on the right.

At this moment, the sound of light and hurried footsteps from behind suddenly reached his ears.

The sound of footsteps was so light that even the wood elf's sense of hearing hadn't been noticed until now that the other party suddenly quickened his steps, and he caught it a little bit.

You Xia didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that it was just a resident who lived nearby just passing by, but after a long time, no one appeared behind him, but he could still hear the faint footsteps following him, and his heart He couldn't help feeling a little suspicious.

Out of a cautious attitude, You Xia deliberately paid attention to the footsteps behind him.

As soon as he paid attention, he noticed something was wrong. The footsteps behind him sometimes disappeared. Every time he caught it, it was when he turned a corner or accelerated his steps. There is a suspicious figure.

Perhaps it was the mage's intuition, Youxia felt that there was a high probability that he was being followed by someone - as soon as this thought came up, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous in his heart.

He forcibly calmed down his thoughts, and guesses flashed through his mind. The only stranger he had met today was Minister. Could it be that the members of the Mage Alliance still wanted to follow him to find the new family land in the Yingdeng Forest?

If this is the case, then the person chasing him must be a mage.

As a mage, he would hear footsteps by himself, which showed that the other party was either overconfident and careless, or his magic level was too bad.

You Xia looked up at the outline of the building in the twilight ahead, and after a few townhouses, the warehouse is located, and people cannot be brought into the warehouse.

With this thought in mind, he quickened his pace again. When he was about to approach the outer wall of the warehouse, he turned abruptly and hid lightly into a yard full of clotheslines on the right.

This yard is roughly a public clothes drying area, there are still many wet clothes drying on the clothesline, the air is damp, mixed with a little soap smell and the smell of stinky sewers from nowhere, and the soil on the ground is also wet , not very refreshing and clean.

You Xia quietly hid in the shadow of the corner of the yard, where he could not only be covered by his clothes, but also observe the situation in the narrow alley outside.

During this period, there was silence for about ten seconds. You Xia stared at the alley outside, but he never saw a figure appearing. Just when he began to doubt whether his intuition was wrong and he mistook the echo for the sound of footsteps, suddenly, A slender figure wrapped in a black cloak appeared in his vision.

The man was very cautious, and walked very slowly against the ditch by the wall, but perhaps he realized that he had lost track of others, so he acted a little flustered, and after walking a few steps, he was even directly exposed in the middle of the alley.

The moment the figure fully appeared, Youxia chanted the spell in a low voice and quickly: "tardusactio (slow action)."

It was too late when the black cloak realized that he had been ambushed. His body was frozen, and his first reaction was to take out the potion from his pocket.

He took out the potion very slowly, and while feeding himself to drink the potion, he turned around slowly, and saw the wood elf he was following was holding a shiny bow and arrow at the entrance of the yard opposite, the golden arrow was aiming at Aim yourself.

At the moment when the potion took effect and the magic was released, the black cloak turned around and ran away, but the next second, the golden feathered arrow pierced the night sky and pierced straight through his right leg.

The black cloak grunted, and staggered to the wall on the right side of the alleyway.

You Xia chased him out of the yard. Before confirming that the other party had unfavorable thoughts for him, he didn't want to make a fuss for the time being, so the arrow was also aimed at the black cloak's leg.

It's just that this arrow can be shot so easily, which he didn't expect. He thought that any mage should have a basic way to protect himself or escape when he has low-level magic.

Suddenly, he realized that he might have guessed the identity of the other party wrong, maybe it wasn't a mage.

If it was an ordinary person, he shouldn't use magic to deal with each other.

Hesitating in his heart, he saw that the black cloak took out another potion and unscrewed the bottle cap, as if he wanted to drink it.

You Xia thought it was something like a healing potion, and didn't stop it for a while, but the next moment, the other party suddenly raised his hand and threw the potion towards him vigorously.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, realizing that this was the moment of an attack, Youxia squeezed and exploded a defense crystal ball presented to him by Augsta, and immediately a circle of defense barriers flowing with light appeared around him.

At the same time, an ominous premonition flashed through his mind—this thrown thing might be a weapon of mass destruction, like a gas bomb or something.

Thinking of this possibility, his whole heart hangs, but the speed of the potion flying over is too fast, it is too late for him to use static magic now.

But at this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air.

The visitor picked up the potion tube that was close to the ground with his toes, and the potion flew into the air, and he easily held it in his hand.

You Xia saw his long hair tied up with a leather rope lightly rising and falling in front of her eyes. During the process, it seemed that a weak night wind brushed against his cheeks, and heat began to rise in his chest for no reason.

The visitor turned around after catching the potion, and the barrier light surrounding Youxia illuminated the other's fair and stern face, and it was the person he was very familiar with and missed.

He couldn't help opening his mouth, and said, "Les."

Les Hodge nodded, stuffed the potion into his pocket casually, and then looked back at the dark alleyway ahead.

The black cloak who wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the potion explosion to escape here obviously did not expect that someone would suddenly appear to stop his plan, and he dragged his legs to escape in a very embarrassed posture.

At this moment, he had no intention of carrying out any other plans, and pulled out a teleportation scroll, only thinking about escaping.

It's a pity that this time he wasn't as lucky as his master. He just took out the scroll, and before he could unfold it, he was horrified to see the enemy who was still ten meters away flashed in front of his eyes.

Rice easily snatched his teleportation scroll, and punched him on the back of the head, which mercilessly knocked him unconscious.

On the other side, Youxia's defensive barrier has just begun to fade.

He waited for a few seconds, and when the defensive barrier completely disappeared, he couldn't wait to run to Les who was holding a rope to tie him up. Before he had time to ask anything else, he squatted down and took off the hood and mask of the black cloak down.

His original intention was to see the identity of this person, but when he removed the cover from the other person's face, he was a little frightened when he saw this person's face without any cover.

Under the dim light, it can be seen that the bound person has no eyebrows, eyelashes and hair, and the protruding parts of the facial features are all burnt shadows. The skin of the whole face and head is not intact, as if after being scorched by fire, Corroded by acid again, the skin and flesh melted halfway and solidified instantly, and the upper and lower eyelids stuck together, which was extremely hideous and terrifying.

You Xia only glanced at it, but didn't dare to look any more.

Les looked as usual. Seeing this, he put on the hood of the black cloak again, covered him with a mask, then stood up, and said in a calm tone: "I heard that a pharmacist in the country of Ilan was killed in the process of making a certain medicine. Injured his body, although he was lucky enough to survive, he was expelled from the Pharmacist Union because of his research on banned drugs, and was later recruited by Shi'an."

You Xia got up with him, and when he heard the name, he was stunned for two seconds. After he realized who this person was, he only had one thought in his mind: Why is it him again?

He said: "Send a pharmacist to follow me, is there no one around the snake orc?"

Les took out the potion just now, tightened the cap of the potion, handed it to him and said, "This should be his reliance."

You Xia took the potion and looked at it. There were no words or labels on it, so it was difficult to determine its function.

He pondered for a moment, put the potion into the game's backpack, and then opened the game menu, and saw that there was an extra item in his backpack, and the game identified its name as "Explosive Potion".

What a weapon of mass destruction!

Youxia couldn't help feeling scared, but luckily Rice came over in time this time, otherwise such a thing exploded, and although he was fine, it would definitely endanger the surrounding houses.

Thinking of Rice's sudden flash, he raised his eyes to look into the other's dark eyes. The moment their eyes met, his heart throbbed.

He suppressed his pounding heartbeat, and asked somewhat out of words: "Is it space?"

Such a nonsensical question, but Rice immediately understood what he meant.

He nodded, and when he watched You Xia's picture quietly, a gentle smile could not help but appear in his eyes.

The cool night wind blows again, and will lift a few strands of silver hair around the elf's ears.

You Xia felt the temperature of the night again, looked at him with clear eyes and said, "I'm a little cold."

After saying that, Les finally couldn't help stretching out his hand, and after more than a month, he hugged his beloved elf again into his arms.
