Black Hearted Mage

Chapter 255: Sharing Experience 2

When someone walked into the snack shop, the waiters looked up and saw the newcomer's face. In an instant, their expressions became serious, and they stood respectfully and saluted Caesars in unison.

Caesars glanced around expressionlessly, then spoke, "Weigh and pack the snacks, and move them all to the small courtyard in the back. Dispose of the scraps according to the old rules. Where are the Roma? I want to order 100,000 kilograms of snacks!"

His voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the pastry shop. However, Rom was nowhere to be seen.

A young man replied, "Master Cavill has gone to the inner city to deliver some snacks. I will be sure to report when he returns!"

Hearing this, Caesars nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. Then, he turned around and walked towards the back of the store with Emily, who looked surprised.

At that moment, the greedy puppy suddenly shot towards the backyard like an arrow. There was a clang, and it had obviously knocked something over. It was undoubtedly its magic steel food bowl.

At the same time, a figure in a long skirt quietly peered out from the window of the small building. The clang sound was familiar to her, and when she saw the fat, dark red dog, she immediately understood what was going on. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile. She quickly left the window and walked quickly out of the living room.

"Caesars, you are such a rare guest. I haven't seen you back for several years! Who is this little girl?" Cecilia looked at the little girl next to Caesars with surprise and asked curiously.

Kaisas smiled and introduced, "Maid, this is my sister, Emily. I came back mainly to buy some magic crystals and bring her to visit Fire Maple City."

Cecilia nodded and turned her gaze to Emily. She was very cute, with a pair of big, twinkling eyes that made people love her.

Then, Cecilia asked, "Kaisas, are you planning to buy magic crystals on the black market?"

"Yes, head maid, the price on the black market is cheaper." Caesars answered as a matter of course.

Cecilia smiled slightly and said, "Actually, there's a new shop opened by a Northerner in the North City District, right near the North City Gate. The magic crystals they sell there are very affordable!"

Upon hearing this, Caesars' eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly asked, "Really? That's great! I didn't even know such a place existed!"

Cecilia smiled and said, "Of course it's true. I heard it from someone else a few days ago."

Kaisas thought for a moment and said, "Maid, I have a lot of things to sell this time. I guess I'll have to stay in Fire Maple City for a while. Tomorrow I'll go buy some magic crystals, and then go to the Imperial Capital Magic Academy to sell some things."

As soon as Caesars finished speaking, the head maid started to order the maids to clean the room. Several guys from the pastry shop finished their work for the day and moved all the pastries to the living room.

"Emily, pack up the snacks. Let's take a day off today and go out for a walk tomorrow. I still need to sort out the things to sell first, and I'll pick out a high-quality staff for you!"

The space in the living room was too narrow, and Caesars couldn't take out all the things he brought with him. In desperation, he had to move to the yard to sort things out.

Hundreds of sets of leather armor and various weapons piled up like a mountain, occupying a considerable area, which was staggering. Fortunately, the number of other items was not large, otherwise this small courtyard would probably be filled to the brim.

Just as Kaisas was busy sorting out the leather armor and weapons, Emily came forward curiously, her eyes wide open, and asked suspiciously, "Brother, where did you get so much leather armor?"

Before she finished speaking, Cecilia beside her couldn't wait to interrupt and ask, "Yes, yes, where did these leather armors come from?"

Faced with the two people's repeated questioning, Caesars thought for a moment and then made up a white lie: "Oh, these leather armors. The assassins of the Saint Laurent Church were on their way to the Violet Alliance when they encountered an accident. I happened to be passing by and picked them up."

Emily was obviously very surprised by this explanation. She blinked, seeming a little bit unbelievable, and asked, "What about these staffs? Did you pick them up too?"

"Of course. Several magicians were there to supervise the assassins, and they all met with an accident. Emily, let me pick out the best staff for you!"

The magic accessories were quite ordinary, but two of the staffs were black thorn staffs produced by the Thorn Flower Company. Black thorn only grew in the Endless Forest, with a few trees planted outside the crater.

Blackthorn, also known as giant thorn, is a relatively rare magical plant, with a trunk that can grow to over two meters thick. Its branches possess a certain degree of magical conductivity, making it a valuable material for crafting wands and staffs. Its spikes can reach over a meter in length and are extremely sharp, capable of piercing the tough hide of magical beasts.

"This staff is quite good, 90% new, made by the Thorn Flower Trading Company, and worth around 20,000 gold coins!"

Caesars handed the staff to Emily, and the little girl tried it.

"It's too long and too heavy!" Emily said dissatisfiedly while holding the staff.

"Don't worry, just stand there holding the staff. I'll see how much it's grown."

Emily leaned her staff on the ground and looked at Caesar with her head held high.

"I just took a look. You'll only be as tall as me in the future. It's no problem for the staff to cut off half a foot. But you can't use the staff now, so put it away first. When the time comes, take it to the Thorn Flower Merchants to ask for help!"

"Uh-huh!"

Emily nodded repeatedly, happily putting away her pitch-black staff. The puppy nearby had finished its meal, a large bowl of snack crumbs filling its stomach, and it was quite satisfied. The fat dog pushed the magic steel bowl aside and lay on its belly on the lawn.

It wasn't long before Caesars sorted the leather armor and weapons by category and put them away. Just as he finished, Rom, dressed in a cyan noble robe, walked in.

When Rom heard that Caesars wanted to customize a full 100,000 kilograms of snacks, his mouth opened wide, like a puppy that saw something particularly amazing.

"Wow, Rom, you are a baron now!" exclaimed Caesar.

You know, in the Roland Empire, there are very strict regulations on dress. Only true nobles are qualified to wear formal aristocratic robes, which are a symbol of identity and status.

"Yes, last year, my father passed the title to me." Rom replied with a smile.

"So that's it!" Caesar suddenly realized, and at the same time he was happy that the dispute over the inheritance rights of the Cavill family had finally come to an end.

After all, old Joey of the Cavill family is still alive, and Joanna is a powerful magician, so their family did not fight for inheritance rights like some other families, and even suffered bloodshed.

However, Old Joey's health did not seem to be very good. Although he had the alchemy potion provided by Joanna to maintain his health, he rarely left his room now.

After a long night, the next morning, before the sun rose, Caesars was awakened by a knock on the door. He knew it was Emily knocking, and no one from the Cavill family would disturb him.

"Brother, get up quickly, it's time for us to leave!"

Kaesas got out of his warm bed with sleepy eyes, opened the door, and then returned to bed to dress. He wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep well. The little girl had changed into a beautiful dress today and her hair was combed.

"Emily, the people of the North are like fat dogs. They sleep until the sun rises. It's too early for us to leave now. Let's have breakfast first. A carriage will take us there soon!"

Caesars put on an ordinary silk robe, tied a belt, put on short boots, and led the anxious Emily out of the room and into the dining room downstairs. Cecilia got up early every day, and when Caesars came back, she would prepare breakfast in advance.

After a simple breakfast, Caesars and Emily walked out of the room together. At the door, an exquisite carriage was already parked, awaiting their arrival.

Caesars opened the carriage door gracefully, then helped Emily into the carriage like a gentleman. After they were seated, the carriage slowly started, and the sound of the wheels rolling echoed in the streets in the early morning.

Emily sat in the carriage, feeling somewhat excited. She curiously looked out the window at the streets and people outside. This Fire Maple City was a completely new place to her; everything seemed strange and intriguing.

Suddenly, Emily's gaze fell on Caesar. She noticed that he looked a little different today. Usually, Caesar wore a long magic robe and held a staff, giving off a mysterious and solemn aura. But today, he was dressed in casual clothes, looking more casual and approachable.

"Emily, are you a little curious about what I'm wearing?" Caesars seemed to notice Emily's gaze and asked with a smile.

Emily nodded and answered frankly, "Yeah!"

Kaisas smiled and explained, "There are more nobles in Fire Maple City than stray dogs in Violet City, and even more noble children. Those people usually have nothing to do and enjoy bullying commoners. If I walked down the street wearing a magician's robe, those people wouldn't bother me. So, I chose to dress like this today, to look like a commoner in the imperial capital, just to see how many people would bully us!"

"Brother, why should we let them bully us?" Emily blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Caesar blankly, as if she was very confused by what he said.

Looking at his sister's innocent expression, Caesar couldn't help but laugh. He gently stroked Emily's hair and patiently explained, "Emily, think about it, if no one bullied us, how would we get the gold coins for apology? These noble children have plenty of gold coins. And you'll need a lot of cultivation resources to improve your strength in the future, and these gold coins will be just the right thing to help you. So, let's just let them bully us!"

As he said this, Caesars playfully raised his eyebrows at Emily, as if to suggest that this wasn't a bad thing. Emily was smart enough to understand Caesars's true intentions and smiled slightly.

The Cavill family's carriage didn't take the shortest route, as entering the inner city required inspection by the city guards. Instead, the driver chose a detour through the outer city, heading west from the commercial district, through the West City, and finally to the North City.

Since there were relatively few pedestrians on the streets in the early morning, the carriage was moving at a relatively fast pace. In less than half an hour, it stopped at the door of the Northland Trading Company.

The Northland Trading Company had seven stores in the bustling city of Fire Maple City, undoubtedly demonstrating its considerable scale and influence in the commercial sector. Caesars led Emily through the trading company's doors. As soon as they entered, a rich aroma of meat filled their nostrils.

The store's display was dazzling, with shelves filled with all sorts of meat products. Fresh cuts of meat were available, though in smaller quantities. More common were cured and smoked bacon, as well as carefully stewed and sun-dried dried meat. The jerky's alluring color and fragrant aroma were mouth-watering. On the other side, the shelves were stacked with various animal hides, horns, and a large number of northern herbs.

However, the fat puppy was not interested in these delicacies at all. Its attention was completely attracted by something else - the aroma of dried meat. It kept sniffing the aroma in the air, as if it was starving.

Seeing this, Caesars quickly scolded: "You stupid dog, don't look so greedy! Let's go buy magic crystals first, and then buy the dried meat later!" There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, and it was obvious that he was helpless against this greedy puppy.

However, the puppy's nose is very sensitive, and it has a precise definition of delicious food. It doesn't like pickled meat and smoked meat, and only has eyes for the fragrant dried meat.

"I want to buy magic crystals!"

In the shop of the Beidi Trading Company, several people from the North were chatting and laughing. When they saw someone come in, no one came over to greet them.

"How many magic crystals do you want to buy? The more you buy, the better the price will be!" said a burly northerner wearing a silk robe.

"Two million gold coins!"

Hearing Caesar's reply, the northerner, who was in his forties or fifties, suddenly stood up, his bearded face full of smiles. He shouted at the other northerners, "You damned ones, get out of here and guard the door of the trading company. Don't let anyone in!"

Several northerners wearing leather armor walked towards the door of the shop together, laughing and joking.

"Bring tea and snacks!"

The northerner in a silk robe shouted towards the back of the shop, then turned and smiled apologetically at Caesar.

"No need for snacks, just try some dried meat. I want to buy some later!" said Caesars.

"There are three kinds of dried meat. One is made from wild beef, one is mutton, and the rest is made from northern bison meat!" explained the northern merchant.

“Take them all and try them!”
