Week five of the vacation.
Wednesday, clear and sunny.
East District was rather lively today. Since early morning, transportation vehicles had been ceaselessly entering from all directions.
After a two-day intensive promotion, all the official wizards and wizard apprentices residing in Ravensmouth City knew that there was a good show to be staged today.
Wizard Palo was once again engaging in conflict with Wizard Peter Lionel, who had been clashing with each other for decades.
The last time Peter Lionel played a pivotal role in arranging for the President and Vice President of the New Blood Mutual Aid Association to duel. This delighted a number of wizards who understood the decades-long grievances and disputes between the two, especially the Tier 3 wizards.
This time, it was clear that Wizard Palo was trying to regain the upper hand. He had planned some sort of fresh prank.
Many wizards were looking forward to it.
Many people arrived at the East District Exhibition Center early in anticipation of the spectacle.
On both sides of the Exhibition Center’s entrance hung two very retro cloth banners, which were extremely noticeable.
The left banner read “Wishing the Lucia Potion Shop’s new product launch a grand failure,” while the right banner read “Warmly celebrating the complete flop of Serene Potion Shop’s new product launch.”
People who saw these banners couldn’t help but chuckle.
For a better resonance with the consciousness of the Wizard World, during the metamorphosis period, but Tier 3 wizards have to maintain their true nature as much as possible.
If something comes to mind, they must do it. If they are irritated by something, they must vent it out. They could cause quite a few amusing incidents.
The first floor hall was split into two sections. The east side was occupied by the Serene Potion Shop, and the west side temporarily belonged to the Lucia Potion Shop.
Two groups were busily setting up in their respective areas.
Link and Jasmine were also there.
The star of this launch was the vibrant, Serene Wizard in her jade-green fishtail dress.
Three soon-to-be official wizards and the inexperienced young Jasmine, as the event hostesses, were in charge of presenting various new potions released by the Serene Potion Shop.
Link had an important task and would be the finale.
Link found Wizard Palo’s arrangement surprising yet unsurprising.
What was unsurprising was that there would be a part for him at the launch.
After all, if he wanted to retaliate against Sophie Lucia, how could he avoid showing up?
In that case, it would be no different from a stealth attack.
What was surprising was that the part Wizard Palo had arranged for him seemed pivotal, as if meant to be a principal act of the launch.
On the west side of the exhibition hall, Sophie Lucia, in her elegant dress, saw the energetic and gentle Link Grande on the opposite side, and felt slightly uneasy.
Her intuition told her that something was going to happen today.
Before she could think more about it, her cousin Zoran Archie came over and said, “Be prepared. When you host the release event later, don’t panic if there is an emergency. The enemy is here to make trouble. Regardless of anything else, as long as we get through the entire process, we will succeed. Do you understand?”
Sophie Lucia responded with confidence: “Understood, Cousin Zoran.”
“Hmm.”
Zoran Archie nodded, then asked, “What were you so engrossed in?”
After some thought, Sophie Lucia didn’t hold back and told the truth: “I was observing that bumpkin, Link Grande. Recently, he has published a series of four ‘articles’ on the academy’s internal internet, each introducing a plant called the ‘Glasswort herb’, its characteristics and the special effects of its leaf extract, as well as three aromatherapy essential oils, fragrances and perfumes developed based off the Glasswort leaf extract. I suspect the opponents are planning to use this series to make trouble.”
Upon hearing this, Zoran Archie didn’t dismiss it, but as he prepared to arrange for someone to review the relevant materials, Peter Lionel and a group of people arrived.
This was unfortunate timing.
If it hadn’t been for this, even if they couldn’t find countermeasures in a short time, they wouldn’t be caught off guard later.
Zoran Archie could only discreetly note this down to investigate when he had some free time later.
He hastened his steps to meet Peter Lionel.
The two exchanged pleasantries.
Peter Lionel then began introducing the guests he had invited to support Zoran Archie.
Zoran Archie maintained a bright smile on the surface and warmly welcomed all the guests, but he was inwardly complaining.
What was originally just an ordinary potion new product launch wouldn’t have had any impact on him or the Lucia’s Family even if it failed.
However, as a result of Wizard Palo’s meddling, Zoran Archie, Lucia Family Potion Shop, and the Lucia’s Family were all dragged into it.
Any minor problem during the launch would later be magnified, discussed and used to attack the Lucia’s Family.
On the other side, Link was also internally complaining.
He had expected that today’s event would be big, but he hadn’t expected it to be this big.
By his estimation, there were no fewer than ten influential figures present, their status and position on par with Wizard Palo and Wizard Peter Lionel!
Link was certain and confident that he would be famous by the end of this launch!
In this way, time passed amid the varying emotions of the individuals involved.
The clock in the Exhibition Center struck nine o’clock sharp in the morning.
The two product launches started simultaneously.
On the side of the Lucia Potion Shop,
Sophie Lucia stepped on stage in high heels, her face blushing and heart pounding, looking charming and vulnerable.
Her entrance attracted many eyes.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Lucia Potion Shop’s new product launch. I am the host of this launch, Sophie Lucia.
Before the official start of the launch, please allow me to represent the Lucia Potion Shop in thanking Wizard Peter Lionel, Wizard Henry Percival, Wizard Embid Smith, Wizard Todd Johnson, and all the distinguished guests who are present at this launch..”
