Chapter 396 - 171 Fate’s Arrangement
After another period of time and completing all the official registration and paperwork, an alchemy shop that appeared ordinary opened at No. 14 Marigold Street in the kingdom.
The owner of the shop was a young man with a somewhat delicate demeanor, his skin pale as if rarely touched by sunlight, his face gentle, giving the impression that he was easily bullied.
However, when several bullying mercenaries who came looking for trouble were turned into Luo Luo Beasts on the spot and thrown out the door, no one dared to cause any more trouble.
From that day on, the people living in the vicinity came to know that the unremarkable shop owner was actually a Fourth Rank Spellcaster!
Although Maramos City is the Royal Capital of the Kingdom of Maramos, as a small and remote kingdom with not a vast territory, the current ruler of Maramos only has Seventh Rank powers.
A Fourth Rank Mid-Tier Spellcaster, placed in the Middle District of Maramos City, was already an untouchable figure of authority.
According to the nearby residents, that Travel Mage Lord seemed to be from the distant Gloria Empire, having traversed several kingdoms of the Federation along the way and now preparing to take a temporary rest here.
Of course, in the eyes of these residents, coming from the Gloria Empire or any other prosperous kingdom in the Federation was quite the same; they always seemed a notch above the locals.
In this era, the unguarded wilderness areas between kingdoms are overrun by Magic Beasts and bandits, filled with deadly risks everywhere.
Apart from those Mercenary Groups and trade caravans, the vast majority of ordinary people and Low Rank Professionals in the Federation might never leave the borders of their kingdom until death.
But the recent advent of Mechanical Airships has changed all that.
The prosperity of the big cities, as detailed by many flamboyantly dressed individuals who have come from those places, seemed as if opportunities and Gold Coins were scattered everywhere, just waiting for you to bend down and pick them up.
