132 Sirius City, which will soon become the Holy Land of Potions

Just after finishing the work of entering the city for the Roland Chamber of Commerce, Allen hurried to Sirius City.

"My lord, they have all been promoted to junior potionists. We have confirmed this. Now they only need to go to the capital to register to obtain the status of junior potions," Nick respectfully informed Allen.

Behind him were seven excited apprentice potions, or rather, they should now be called junior potions.

"Hahaha, well done!" Allen couldn't help but laugh, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes. He had been waiting for this moment.

"Okay, all of you, get ready. Tomorrow, you will register as junior potionists in the King's Capital. At the same time, I will promote the benefits of my Sirius collar in the potions guild," Allen promptly arranged. His thousand-strong knights had been trained a few days ago, and they needed plenty of potions to swiftly improve their strength.

"Okay, sir, I'll arrange it right away!" Nick immediately bowed and said.

"Nick, how long until you become an Advanced Potions Master?" Allen inquired.

"Almost, within a week, I will break through," Nick replied with confidence.

"Very good!" Allen beamed, looking at the seven junior potions with great satisfaction, especially the girl named Elena. This young girl had exceptional talent, according to Nick, she had the potential to reach the level of senior potions.

"Irina, keep it up," Allen encouraged the girl.

Elena, already nervous and excited, blushed. "Yes… Yes, my lord, I… I will do my best… work hard!" Her stammering made Ellen smile.

"Irina, don't be nervous, relax," Allen reassured her and then addressed the others. "You too, work hard, and serving under me, you will be paid 20% more than other nobles."

"Thank you, sir!" the seven junior potions smiled in gratitude.

"Also, if you have family members, you can bring them to live in Heavenly Wolf City," Allen added. "You can discuss the details with Nick."

After encouraging the junior potions once more, Allen left.

"Wow, Elena, the lord encouraged you individually!" Laura looked at Elena with envy, and Elena couldn't help but smile.

Seeing this, Nick shook his head, yet another young girl smitten by adults.

"Alright, all of you, prepare for your journey. Additionally, if you wish to bring your family, you can provide their address, and we will arrange transportation for them. You don't need to worry," Nick informed, sending everyone on their way and making preparations.

After the seven young potions departed, the five middle-aged potions exchanged glances.

"Soon, Sirius City will become the Holy Land of Potions," Nick remarked as he gazed at the setting sun, a smile forming on his lips.

The following morning, the group of young potions set out on their journey back to the capital, and Allen became busy.

Since the Roland Chamber of Commerce officially settled in Sirius City the previous day, businessmen from the southern territories had already begun to view Sirius City as the economic hub of the south, and they flocked to the city.

Today alone, fourteen new shops had opened in Heavenly Wolf City, and it wouldn't be long before every commercial street was fully rented out. This was the influence of the Roland Chamber of Commerce.

Allen whistled to himself and wandered through his city, and in doing so, he spotted a familiar face.

The Marquis of Mad Lion was savoring a fruit cream cake at a table outside a bakery, with ice cream, jelly, and spicy strips within arm's reach. This burly man in extravagant attire stood out from the crowd.

Four knights with swords were standing around him, not in full armor, but Aaron could sense the presence of their combat abilities.

Allen was somewhat surprised that the Marquis of Mad Lion had arrived in Sirius City so swiftly. Considering that his territory was near the capital, it should have taken at least three days to travel from there to Allen's location.

Originally, he believed that even if news of the Roland Chamber of Commerce's second branch spread, it would still take a couple of days for the Marquis's delegation to reach him.

So far, Allen had received envoys from recent earls offering their blessings and congratulations. The Marquis level was a significant step up, and the Marquis of Mad Lion was the first. What was even more intriguing was that he had come in person.

This piqued Allen's curiosity.

"Lord Marquis, do you also appreciate these treats?" Allen inquired, observing the Marquis of Mad Lion's satisfaction as he indulged in cake and sweets.

"Cough cough!" The Marquis of Mad Lion didn't anticipate encountering Allen. He coughed twice before speaking with a hint of annoyance.

"What? Can't I enjoy these delights?" Allen smiled, sitting opposite the Marquis.

"It's an honor for me that Lord Marquis would personally visit my Heavenly Wolf City," Allen said with a smile. "I didn't expect you to come in person."

"I hadn't initially planned to visit your Heavenly Wolf City, but after yesterday's events with the Roland Chamber of Commerce and the delicious cakes and desserts here, I had to come," the Marquis of Mad Lion explained, having already devoured a cake and currently enjoying jelly.

"Oh, these are delicious!" The Marquis of Mad Lion expressed satisfaction with his eyes.

Allen remained silent and waited.

He didn't believe that a Marquis would leave his territory and come here solely for delicious food.

Perhaps the Marquis of Mad Lion had come due to the Roland Chamber of Commerce, but Allen sensed there was more to it than that.

"Hiccup, but your food is quite exquisite," the Marquis of Mad Lion continued, munching on spicy strips.

Still, Allen kept his silence and observed.

This prompted the Marquis of Mad Lion to shake his head in frustration. "You're just too clever! I don't enjoy dealing with people like you!"
