Several people stared at each other for a while, and then Allen's brother Rashid smiled helplessly: "Ellen, it seems that you have been too focused in the world of magic books in recent years...... The Lionheart family has a lot of expenses, and the simple tax is not enough at all, so they have been running the chamber of commerce to make money. In addition to dealing in equipment such as shields and swords, the Lionheart family also buys and sells some magical items. ”

"Huh?" Alan had heard of this for the first time!

"Otherwise, how do you think that the tax rate of twenty out of one can raise the Lionheart?" Rashid cried and laughed.

That's when Alan came to his senses......

The Lionheart family is different from ordinary families, the Lionheart family is a large family with a family legion. There are more than 10,000 elite legions, plus ordinary soldiers, and the annual military expenditure is more than millions of gold coins! Relying only on agricultural taxes and commercial taxes, at most they can only afford ordinary soldiers, and they definitely can't afford to support the elite 10,000 people of the Lionheart Legion!

Alan remembers that the Lionheart family has its own blacksmith workshop and weapons shop, and in addition to supplying the needs of the Duchy of Lionheart, the warrior guild also often practices buying weapons with the family. As for the family business involving the buying and selling of magic items, he really didn't know.

Seeing that Alan ran away, Hakim didn't think that Alan didn't care about family affairs, but felt that Alan was too hard at work, so he didn't notice foreign objects.

Hakim took over the topic and said with a smile: "Alan, the family has always been in the magic props business, we have suppliers, and what magic props are produced by the suppliers, they will be handed over to us to sell, and then divided according to the proportion." However, the main income of our magic item shop is not the magic items they make, but the magic items sold by those adventurers at a low price, and then resell them. Those magic items may have come from the wrong way, or they may have been damaged, so we can make a lot of money by removing the marks on them, changing the shape of the items slightly, and then reselling them. However, since the family does not have a professional alchemist team, our magic shop business is not very large, and it cannot be compared to the warrior shop. ”

"It's not big, how big is that?"

"We have four magic shops in the Duchy of Lionheart, one in Pompeii, and five in other places. ”

Ten magic shops in total?Eren had no idea about that, he only had a good idea of numbers like gold and silver.

"How much can you make in that year?" asked Allen.

Hakim had expected him to ask such a question, and replied with a smile: "Ten stores, a lot of years, can add up to more than 10 million a year! That was many years ago." In recent years, the annual profit has been around two million. ”

Alan had killed the Dark Councillor of Knicks City before, and the bounty was only 50,000. The money earned by the Lionheart Family's magic shop every year is actually equal to the bounty that can only be obtained by killing forty or fifty such masters!

Alan was slightly surprised......

Seeing Allen's look, Hakim knew that Allen was a little tempted. Hakim has no children, and he has always treated Alan and Rashid as his grandchildren, and Allen's slightly tempted appearance makes him very happy. He is already old and doesn't have much energy to take care of the storefront, listening to Raymond's meaning, Raymond seems to be planning to hand over the magic shop to Alan in the future, and now Alan is interested in the magic shop, and he can just cultivate Allen's ability to take care of business.

"Alan, your father said he would leave this magic shop in Pompeii to you. Don't look at this as just a magic shop, its revenue accounts for at least 40% of the total income, and it can earn at least 780,000 yuan a year. ”

"Is all the money mine?" said Alan immediately.

Hakim listened with amusement: "It's all yours in the future, but now you can only get ten percent of the dividends." ”

"Hmm......" Alan was deflated again, seventy or eighty thousand gold coins a year, it seemed like a lot, but he wanted to buy a good staff, I'm afraid he couldn't afford it...... But immediately remembering Jenny, who was a thrifty housekeeper, Alan regained his spirits, "Okay! That's a lot of ten! By the way, big brother, do you have any business to take care of the family?" Allen's last question was Rashid.

Rashid said: "I am in charge of the family's berserker equipment shop in Pompeii, and I also take 10% of the annual income of two million. ”

Alan looked puzzled, more than himself......

Rashid laughed and patted him on the shoulder......

Next, Hakim said that he would take Alan to the family's magic shop to recognize the store, and Rashid was idle at home, so he said that he would go with him.

The Lionheart family's magic shop was far from home, and when they were halfway through the carriage, they passed by Talasha's prop shop. Alan suddenly remembered something he had heard about Tarasya, and hurriedly stopped the carriage, saying that he was going to visit Talasya's magic shop.

Tarasya was a figure from more than a hundred years ago. She was a wind mage, and she had already become an eighth-order mage at the age of twenty, and her talent was even more terrifying than that of Paladin Pachillel. Later, she became a powerhouse in the Sanctuary in her thirties, reaching the peak of the Sanctuary at the age of forty...... From ancient times to the present, people who can have this kind of qualification are three or five people!

Tarasha has a great talent, and it is believed that she will become a god of law beyond the Sanctuary, however, an unfortunate thing happens.

A dark mage opened the abyssal portal and summoned a finch fox.

The Sparrow Fox has invincible strength, and his surname is fierce and vicious, killing many people and angering the powerhouses of the entire Phantom Moon Continent. Hundreds of strong men united to encircle and suppress it, but it was extremely fast and good at concealing its aura, and the siege did not work for it at all, and many strong men were broken by it one by one......

In the end, Talasha stepped up.

Talasya, the Wind Sanctuary mage who is closest to a god, is far from being comparable to those who have been killed by the Sparrow Fox.

The two sides fought for a day and a night, and Tarasia did not fall behind. However, Tarasa is a human body, and his magic reserves are not as good as the monster of the Bird Fox, and in the end, his magic power is exhausted and he is seriously injured by the Bird Fox...... However, Tarasia did not give up, she knew the horror of the finch fox, knew what the consequences would be after letting the finch fox go, and at the last moment, she burned her own life, and used a big trick that she could not master, and killed the finch fox.

Since then, Tarasia has become a revered person for almost all humans on the Illusory Moon Continent, but as time has passed, people have now forgotten about her......

Several of Talasia's disciples later joined forces to open a shop called the 'Talassia Magic Shop', which expanded so much that it became one of the largest magic shops in Pompeii.

Alan was disgusted with Talasya's disciples borrowing the name of the Dead Master to make money, but it had nothing to do with him directly. Now that he is ready to take over the family's magic shop, it is still necessary to visit the 'Talasha Magic Prop Shop', the No. 1 magic shop in Yanjing.

The store covers an area of more than 1,000 square meters, and Alan was shocked just by seeing the store. This shop is tall, the door is large, and the threshold is also high. As soon as Alan entered, he saw that it was full of people......

There are forty or fifty mages who come to buy magic items, and there are also forty or fifty mages who drink tea and chat on the side, and if you calculate carefully, there will be at least hundreds of people here at the end of the day! As long as one in ten people buys something, you can make a lot of money in a day!

Alan approached the counter to see how much the item was selling.

As soon as he saw it, he felt dizzy!

When he saw the price tags, he only had one feeling: expensive!

Is a magic arrow sold for 1 gold coin?

A scroll of fourth-order magic, twenty gold coins each...... Alan wants to make scrolls to sell!

Prices here are more than three times more expensive than the one Alan visited in Knicks City!

Alan secretly scolded this group of annihilators in his heart, and at the same time wanted to turn around and go back. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a light on his shoulder, and the goblin Gollum flew off his shoulder and flew towards the bronze statue of Tarasya.

The bronze statue of Tarasya is made to life-size and is more than three meters tall, and looks like Tarasya was in his forties. Her appearance was cold and proud, her eyes were sharp, and she had a sense of wisdom that pointed directly at the heart.

The bronze statue holds a staff taller than her in her right hand. The crutches were on the ground, and the big on her body moved with the wind. When she faced the finch fox at the beginning, she must have been so arrogant and cold.

At this moment, the goblin Gollum has Allen's stealth spell on his body, and others can't see the goblin unless they use skills such as True Eye and Demon Pupil Vision, but Allen, the spellcaster, can see it. Alan saw the goblin flying around, for fear that she would make some trouble, so he hurriedly followed.

The leprechaun flew in front of the bronze statue and stopped. She floated in the air with her hands folded, tilted her head, and looked at the face of the bronze statue with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong with this bronze statue?" Alan whispered to the leprechaun.

"Gurgling ......"

Alan was in a cold sweat, he couldn't understand the language of the little goblin......

The leprechaun flew closer to the bronze statue again. She looked left and right, and then looked at the staff of the bronze statue, and her face was always puzzled......

Alan had wondered why the goblins could understand human language, and he thought that the goblins had not been able to figure out which mage they had signed a contract with before.

At this time, seeing the goblin's actions, Alan suddenly thought of a possible surname in his heart, so he tentatively said, "Have you signed a contract with the ** master of Tarasa before?"

"Grunt. Little Gollum looked confused.

"Then you know Master Talasya?"

"Gollum. The goblin's eyes were full of confusion.

"Are you supposed to ...... You don't remember what happened before, do you know what happened before me. ”

The little goblin's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Allen.

Alan sighed in frustration: "Why don't you remember anything...... Alas, forget it, come back. ”

The leprechaun giggled and flew back to Allen's shoulder. Alan turned to leave the shop, and along the way, the goblin frequently looked back at the bronze statue of Tarasya......

As soon as Alan got back into the carriage, Hakim smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

"The heirs of Talasha are a bunch of guys who have gotten into the eyes of money, and the things in them are so expensive!

"Haha, you get what you pay for. Their stuff is expensive, but the quality is impeccable. The quality of the things is good, and with the help of Talasia's prestige, it's no surprise that people like to buy things here. ”

Alan sighed, thought for a moment, and asked, "How does our store compare to them?"
