Located in the Arno Valley region on the west side of the middle Apennine Mountains, Florence is a transport hub connecting the north and south of the Apennine Peninsula.

It is the birthplace of the Renaissance and the city of art and flowers.

Looking out of the window of the carriage, you can see blue-purple irises and red roofs everywhere, showing a unique local atmosphere.

With the roar of steam, the train slowly pulled into the platform.

As soon as the Carlos sisters stepped out of the carriage, they saw Miss Elena de' Medici waving enthusiastically to them not far away.

Since receiving Elena's letter a few days ago, Bella and Anna have left for Florence.

I thought that there would be some delay on the road, but I didn't expect this new type of transportation to be much faster than expected, which made people more and more amazed at the convenience brought by science and technology.

Elena couldn't wait to run forward and give the sisters a big hug.

"Keeping you waiting." Bella said apologetically.

"No, it's just the right time." Elena said happily, "Let's go, I'll take you to see it first."

"Huh?" Bella was a little caught off guard, "Why don't you go to the mansion to visit Ling Zun first?"

"Oh, don't worry about that old man, he's busy every day." Elena said categorically, "Just deal with it when you eat."

"But ......"

"Nothing, though." Immediately afterward, Elena turned to the maid next to her and said, "Miriam, take the luggage back with both of them and put it in the room that was prepared earlier."

"Yes." The maid replied respectfully, then took Bella and Anna's suitcases.

"Let's go first—"

"I said it's okay, it's okay, let's go." Elena couldn't help but say, took Bella's hand and walked outside the platform.

Anna had no choice but to follow obediently.

Stepping out of the platform and shuttling through the busy streets, Bella truly felt the artistic atmosphere of the city.

Street performers can be seen everywhere, there are painters who paint portraits of passers-by, creators who are busy with architectural design, musicians who play and sing in front of the stairs......

They all express their emotions for the things around them in their own different ways.

"Where are we going?" Bella wanted to stop and take a look at the street, but Elena seemed to keep walking.

"It's almost there." Alina said without looking back.

Passing through the bustling crowds and through two or three bustling streets, we came to a commercial area along the Arno River.

In terms of location, it should be considered the center of the city.

"This is it." Elena finally stopped.

Bella looked up, and the sign read "Rich and Famous Gate" in golden Latin, and it was also decorated with red balls on a yellow background.

- This is the perfume brand of the Medici family.

Through the huge glass windows, you can see the colorful bottles sparkling with a crystal clear luster.

"Come in." Elena beckoned, "Whatever you want, whatever you want, it's all on my account."

"It turned out to be a friend of the eldest lady." A neatly dressed clerk greeted him, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Ah...... It's ......," Bella was a little embarrassed.

She rarely comes to this luxury store.

"It's okay, I said I was going to give it to you. And ......," Elena whispered into Bella's ear, "Actually, the cost is not as high as you think, mainly because of the process and the recipe."

「……」

"Don't worry, you won't lose money." Elena patted her chest and said generously.

Seeing that she was so enthusiastic, Bella had no choice but to be disrespectful.

"But I don't know anything about perfume."

Bella has lived in the north since she was a child, and Carlos's family has always been relatively withdrawn, and things like perfume are not easy to come into contact with.

And Bella didn't feel the need.

However, it is really difficult to resist Elena's enthusiasm.

"It's okay, I'll introduce you." Elena turned to the clerk and said, "Leave this to me, you go and greet the other guests."

"Yes." The clerk answered and walked away.

Elena led the two sisters and walked around the shelves.

"It's a four-leaf rose." Elena picked up a red bottle of perfume, "Made from four-leaf clover and rose extracts. The four-leaf clover symbolizes friendship, while the rose represents love. Therefore, the theme of this bottle of perfume is "friendship is above, lovers are not enough", which is suitable for many men and women who have been in love for a long time, especially childhood sweethearts, and is sought after by many young girls in Florence. It is said that after using it, the success rate will be much higher when confessing to the boy you have a crush! Of course, there are also many men who will buy it as a birthday gift for the girl they like. Because it can express friendship and metaphor love, it is a hazy and ambiguous relationship."

"But to be honest," Elena lowered her voice, "it's all a gimmick, and the key to love is to rely on yourself."

Bella was noncommittal.

She has nothing to confess to her childhood sweetheart.

"This is a dream violet." Elena picked up another purple bottle, "Although the main ingredient is only violet, after dozens of extractions and processing, its ingredients have been extraordinary. Many princes and nobles are particularly fond of this model, because it symbolizes a noble and elegant temperament. Moreover, its fragrance is particularly stable, whether it is the first fragrance, the middle fragrance, or the tail fragrance, it can maintain an almost unchanged concentration, making people feel a long-lasting and eternal temperament. Especially in many banquet occasions, with all kinds of flavors, it can still be left unaffected, which is very suitable for socializing."

Bella didn't feel like she needed much to socialize.

"Look at this." Elena picked up a green bottle again, "This is called Exotic Herb, it is not a certain plant, but it is extracted from hundreds of flowers and plants, full of spring vitality and vitality. Because it is closer to nature, it has a particularly good affinity for some small animals and is suitable for children who like to have pets. Of course, it can be used by both boys and girls."

Anna is a big fan of small animals, but it seems that she has little interest in perfume. And Anna is naturally able to get along well with small animals and doesn't need other means to assist.

"This blue bottle," Elena said to the other side of the shelf, "it's called Aegean Promise." Its raw materials come from the depths of the sea, including coral, shells, pearls, etc., and are very scarce due to the difficulty of extracting. Just like the loyalty of love, you can't make promises casually. Once you decide to be together, you have to stand the test of time. Therefore, many men will give it as a marriage vow to a woman who is about to become his wife. Now, whenever a wedding is held in Florence, it is almost indispensable."

"But," Alina suddenly changed her words, "I tell you, men are big pigs' trotters, what kind of loyalty, a bottle of perfume is gone? - Don't be fooled!"

Bella smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, yes." As if suddenly realizing something, Elena pulled Bella to the innermost shelf.

"It's all magical types here." Elena introduced, "There are healing types, there are those that enhance spell casting, and there are those that assist in spiritual power cultivation. However, the main positioning is still perfume, if you need a special drug, you have to go to another store. Moreover, the "Angel Sevenfold Bondage" is generally not exhibited, and that needs to be customized. But don't worry, since I promised, I'll definitely give you a few bottles."

"Ah, that's too expensive, and I really don't need it." Bella wanted to decline.

She remembered the magic that Elena had shown on the Teresian Peninsula.

The Medici family majored in fire magic, while the Carlos family was water, so to speak, the complete opposite.

"I'm telling you, perfume is only used as a support for spellcasting. And this kind of thing, the original purpose was to use it for illusions, such as trapping men in the gentle country. Of course, more importantly, you can take it out to show off, ahahaha——!

As she spoke, Elena smirked.

I couldn't see Bella crying and laughing on the sidelines.

At this moment, there was a cacophony of voices in front.
