I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

"Perhaps in your conception, we wood elves are naturally close to natural elements, and can control plants to grow anywhere at will..."

Youxia's voice forced the city lord back from his thoughts, and made him return to the duke's question just now.

"Indeed, some wood elves can do this, but most of them can't do it, and the tea from my milk tea shop, the chicken and beef from the fried chicken shop, the raw materials of cosmetics, and the vegetables from the hot pot shop you are eating right now , they are all things that require a large area of ​​land to reproduce and breed." You Xia stopped at that point and did not explain in detail.

Dukos frowned, still vaguely feeling that something was wrong, and after a while he remembered and asked, "If it's just like this, does the Elf King need to come here in person?"

You Xia smiled and said: "Our Majesty prefers to travel, if you are willing to check, you will find that in the past few hundred years, whether it is the Western Continent, the Central Continent or the Eastern Continent, or even the island of the light elves, They all showed signs of him."

As for whether the elf king is traveling or for other purposes, Youxia is confident that even Oghst has a half-knowledge about it, and this ordinary human duke will never find out the truth.

Dukes pondered for a while, but finally couldn't find any other flaws, so he had to agree with his statement.

"Okay, I will report your words to His Majesty." He parted his lips, smiled falsely, and then asked hesitantly: "But since that piece of land is just a warehouse and farmland, then we Sealanders With permission, you can go in and visit, right?"

Hey, I'm still worried, I want to send someone to investigate further!

You Xia pretended to think about it for a moment, and said bluntly: "The outer areas are fine, but it may not be convenient for the central area to involve commercial secrets. After all, many of our Xia Zhisen's products are unique in the whole continent."

Dukos knew that the reason he gave was very reasonable. Even ordinary human restaurants would not easily allow outsiders to enter the kitchen to watch their own food being made, let alone a big merchant like Xia Zhisen with so many magical goods.

Under his impolite questioning, the other party was able to patiently answer him. This wood elf had already given him a lot of face.

Thinking of this, Dukes couldn't help but feel a little complacent and inflated, thinking that his identity is still very respected by the other party.

·

After eating the hot pot, the Duke and Duchess returned to the City Lord's Mansion in the same carriage as before.

The carriage could have entered the Wickenburg district directly from Joseph City, but the Duchess suddenly proposed to visit Xia Zhisen's cosmetics store. Her idea was so firm that even the Duke couldn't stop it, so she had to order the coachman to go to the Wickenburg District. Take a walk on Schlevogelstrasse.

Arriving at the cosmetics store, the lady wandered around the store for another 10 minutes, until the Duke sent guards in to urge her, and she reluctantly ended the shopping trip.

But even so, the Duchess relied on her extremely high understanding to understand the membership gift rules clearly, and spent more than a dozen gold coins at one time to upgrade herself to a gold member. After checking the bill, the accumulated points were just enough Redeem two boxes of premium member gifts and three premium member gifts.

So in the end, those who got into the carriage with his wife came out with a total of eleven gift boxes with Xia Zhisen's logo, big and small, which really shocked the two men in the car.

The Duke glanced at the luxurious carriage filled with gift boxes, and couldn't help but said, "We're going to live in Los Angeles for a while, why are you in such a hurry to buy so many gifts?"

The Duchess opened the gift box next to her leg to appreciate the lipstick set inside, and retorted lightly: "You went to Fan Lula's dwarf store and saw two walking sticks that you like. Would you just buy one and wait for a while? Do you want to buy another one?"

Dukes was so choked that he couldn't speak, and then he noticed that there were several lipstick sets in the same package in the gift box she opened, so he asked, "Then why are you buying so many identical things?"

"One box here is for Mrs. Domina, two boxes are for our mother, and two boxes are dedicated to the queen and princess. What's the problem?"

"Well, well, you have a point." The Duke gave up arguing with her.

The city lord couldn't intervene in their conversation at all, and felt amused and helpless about it.

Due to the slight bumps in the carriage, the Duchess put away the box after reading the lipstick, and turned to lift the curtain of the carriage to watch the scenery outside the carriage.

At this time, the twilight has gradually covered the street, but there are still people coming and going on the Schleivogel Street. The shops on both sides are brightly lit, and colorful light shines through the stained glass windows.

"I haven't been to Rose City for two years, and Schlevog has been built more prosperously," Madam said with emotion, "Bayswater can't see such a prosperous cityscape now."

The Lord Hero was about to thank her for her compliment, when Duke Dukos said, "Because the summer in Rose City is long enough, if we came here in the cold winter, it might not be so lively."

The Duchess glanced at him, but did not answer.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and just as the carriage was about to turn across the street and enter the Wickenburg district, a particularly beautiful tall building suddenly appeared in Madam's eyes.

She noticed the same transparent glass as the cosmetics store on the building, and quickly asked Hero: "What kind of store is that? It looks like Xia Zhisen. Is it also an elf's store?"

Although the city lord didn't come out of the mansion very often, he knew all the news in the city very well, and nodded upon hearing the words: "It is indeed Mr. You Xia's shop, but I heard that it has only been leased for a short time, and it has not opened yet."

"It's such a beautiful house. Compared with the resplendent cosmetics store, I still prefer such a pastoral style!" Madam looked out the window and sighed.

"Wait, I saw a sign there, Lord Hodge, can you stop the carriage and let me go down and have a look?"

"There's nothing to see, just an unopened store." Dukos said, "There are many houses like this in our estate."

Having said that, he didn't stop Lord Hero from calling to stop the carriage.

The Duchess opened the curtain and got out of the car, and the two gentlemen followed when they were bored.

Walking in front of the clothing store, the city lord introduced to the two: "This was originally the double-headed eagle sculpture gallery opened by Herbert. I heard that he is planning to live in Bayswater, so I transferred this store to Mr. Youxia. .”

"Herbit, oh, I've heard about that guy, he's a very hot-tempered old man." The Duke answered casually.

The Duchess looked up at the simple and romantic building for a moment, then walked to the signboard full of words at the door, and casually read the words on it.

To her surprise, there were so many words densely packed on the entire blackboard, but what was extracted was just a piece of recruitment information.

——Xia Zhisen Clothing Store. 】

"...Xia Zhisen Clothing Store." After the Duchess finished reading the words silently, she felt a little excited.

She always likes to do some research on clothing and attire, and occasionally draws some beautiful clothes by herself, and sends the drawings to a special tailor to make. Whenever she wears a dress designed by herself and is praised by her family or friends, she always Let her get unparalleled satisfaction.

However, because what a tailor really needs to do is to sew clothes, which is tiring, dirty and complicated, she has never tried it. Now that she saw this job advertisement, she suddenly realized that what she used to do It belongs to a job called a costume designer.

"It's a high-end tailor shop." The Duke came to the recruitment blackboard at some point.

"It doesn't seem to be an ordinary tailor shop. Looking at this text, Mr. Elf seems to be preparing for a special creation," the Duchess said, "I have also designed some dresses, and there are many manuscripts at home, right? Can you try it too?"

The Duke raised his eyebrows: "Do you have more than ten years of work experience?"

"If you don't know how to make clothes, you can learn from scratch. The important thing is creativity, isn't it?"

Ducos laughed off her words.

He said: "If you like to do these studies on painting and costumes, you can do it as a hobby in your spare time, but don't use it to make money, otherwise the duchess will do some civilian women's labor outside, so word will spread , I can't lift my head up in front of His Majesty and all the ministers."

The Duchess was a little angry, but she also understood his concerns. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Even if I can't do it, there is Sepura. He is the most powerful tailor I have ever seen in Bayswater."

"Sepura is doing well in Bayswater, why do you come here to work for others?"

"Anyway, I'll write him a letter of introduction."

The Duke continued to contradict her: "By the time your letter arrives in Bayswater, the elves' shops will be open."

The Duchess glared at him, then turned and walked towards the carriage, where Lord Hero was already waiting beside the carriage.

The lady said coldly as she walked: "Then I will ask the Lord Hodge to send me a letter. I heard that there is a hired mage in the manor who is a high-ranking mage. He may have a way, right, Lord Hodge?"

Although things between husband and wife are not easy to get involved, Herro wanted to see Dukes suffer without knowing it, so he responded with a smile: "I am willing to do it for you."
