Chapter 210

"Lockhart, the potion business must continue. This is the consensus between the two of us," Kaecilius said softly.

Morin, who was next to him, nodded in agreement and said, "We can't give up or do what they say just because of a few threats from them. This will only make them push harder, and even other Sorcerers look down on us."

"Kamar Taj may not be big, but it's not small either. Soon all the Sorcerers will know what we did, and by then, our reputation will be ruined."

Hearing this, Lockhart also nodded and said, "Okay, everyone understands what I mean. I mean the same as you. It is impossible for me to give up the potion business, let alone the Vientiane Book Cafe."

Immediately afterward, Lockhart asked the two of them, "Kaecilius, Morin, I joined Kamar Taj not long ago and don't know much about Master David. Can you please tell me his details?"

After hearing Lockhart's request, Morin thought for a moment and said, "Lockhart, I asked someone specifically about the Sorcerer and the friends around him. I found that most of them are alchemists and potion masters. Basically, it can be said that they have monopolized the entire Kamar Taj potion and alchemy market."

"It's just that they act very covertly. After all, the Sorcerer Supreme is here, and they don't dare to be arrogant. They communicate privately to fix the price of potions or magic items within a certain range. Through this, they can obtain plenty of magical resources. They will win over every alchemist or potion master to ensure that their status will not be affected. And Lockhart, because you have just joined Kamar Taj and you have come up with so many novel potions, this has had a great impact on them."

Speaking of this, Morin also smiled bitterly and said, "On this point, it's my fault that I didn't investigate clearly in advance and even thought of introducing Master David to you."

Hearing this, Lockhart nodded slowly, thought for a moment, and asked, "I have a question, how does Kamar Taj handle disputes between Sorcerers?"

Kaecilius pondered for a moment and said, "Generally speaking, when it comes to disputes between Sorcerers, if you can't decide who is right or wrong, then there will be a fight."

Having said this, Kaecilius hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know whether to say something or not.

Seeing this, Lockhart was a little confused and asked, "Kaecilius, say what you want to say."

Hearing Lockhart's question, Kaecilius sighed and said in a deep voice, "Lockhart, actually, a fight is the best solution for us."

"I understand your fighting ability, but the problem is that the opponent may not fight head-on but may do something behind our backs, which is more troublesome."

"For example, they restrict others from trading with us through some relationships, or they spread some rumors about our potions. Or, Lockhart, they can tell some Sorcerers not to come to your Vientiane Book Cafe anymore. What can we do?"

Hearing this, Lockhart had a headache. Since ancient times, soft methods may be more effective than hard methods.

Especially now that they are in Kamar Taj, with the Sorcerer Supreme sitting in charge.

The existence of the Sorcerer Supreme can be said to have advantages and disadvantages.

On the good side, the other party doesn't dare to be too arrogant.

But on the bad side, Lockhart and the others couldn't possibly do too much.

The Sorcerer Supreme has the power to control time. If they want to use some secret tricks in private, they may not be able to escape the eyes of the Sorcerer Supreme.

It's okay for everyone to fight, but life is definitely not allowed to be in danger. Under such circumstances, Lockhart was troubled.

As if aware of Lockhart's trouble, Kaecilius comforted him, "Lockhart, don't worry."

"The situation is actually not bad now. I am in charge of the New York Temple, so they don't dare to be so arrogant. Morin also has some friends. Our business may be affected, but if it continues, there will be nothing the other party can do. At most, the business will be sluggish for this period of time. It's just that we need to pay more attention to this aspect."

Hearing this, Lockhart nodded, indicating that he understood what Kaecilius meant.

He, as well as the Vientiane Book Cafe, are the main targets of the other party.

On the one hand, he is the provider of the magic potion. As long as the other party gets him, it is equivalent to getting the source.

On the other hand, the Vientiane Book Cafe now has a large presence, and since he joined Kamar Taj less than two months ago, its influence is relatively average.

It is not easy for the other party to target them.

He is now the weakest link among the three.

After all, his foundation is not strong, unlike Kaecilius who guards the entire New York Temple, and as a new Sorcerer instructor of Kamar Taj, his influence is not weak.

There is also Morin. As a librarian, he has many friends. Even the former Master David had a good relationship with him before there was a conflict of interest.

Therefore, David and his group will not easily target Kaecilius and Morin.

The other party is very likely to attack him directly.

Taking advantage of the fact that his roots were not deep and his foundation was not strong, Lockhart thought about it in another way. If it were him, he knew how he would act.

Thoughts swirling, Lockhart had a rough plan in mind.

Later, Lockhart discussed with Kaecilius and Morin to see if there were any other solutions. After finding that there was no good solution, he shook his head helplessly.

Now he is in the light and the other party is in the dark.

As the three of them continued to communicate, an idea came out.

Later, it depends on how the other party takes action.

The interior space of the magic suitcase and the lawn outside.

"Cuckoo!"

The Golden Snidget Sunny felt very bad. It found that he seemed to have been forgotten again.

Since getting the snake, the keeper has obviously paid much more attention to the snake than to him.

Moreover, since the last time he and the keeper entered a place called Vientiane Book Cafe, he hadn't been out much.

Isn't he just acting cute to some people and begging for some food?

Later, the keeper actually stopped letting him go. He stayed in the trunk space all day long, let him run, and refused to let him eat delicious food.

Well, the main reason was that Lockhart brought Sunny to the Vientiane Book Cafe before, and Sunny's cute face aroused the love of many Sorcerers.

As a result, Sunny returned to his old habit of begging for food.

This is very handy for a foodie who purely relies on being cute.

Then Sunny became fat again, which made Lockhart feel helpless.

This is a pure foodie, but he has a lot of things to do. He has to study every day and do magic research, so he can't manage it at all.

He wanted Coffy to take care of Sunny.

But Coffy had many work to attend to, so Coffy could not fully invest in Sunny's workout.

Everyone else has their own things to do, including Lockhart, who has a lot to do.

If he wanted to supervise Sunny, he couldn't find the manpower at all.

In the end, Lockhart could only solve the problem at its source and let Sunny stay at home or in his suitcase.

Only maintaining a certain amount of food every day prevented his body from continuing to grow.

"Cuckoo!"

Wandering on the lawn again, Sunny expressed that he was very unhappy and wanted to go out to play and eat delicious food.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Sunny shook the collar around his neck and was very angry when he heard the dinging sound.

The bastard keeper actually restricted his abilities and he couldn't get out even if he wanted to.

Ding! Ding!

Puff! Puff!

As soon as he heard the dinging sound, Sunny shook his wings unhappily and rolled on the ground, as if he wanted to get rid of the collar quickly.

Sunny, who was rolling on the ground, suddenly saw two strange figures appearing on the lawn.

Huh!

Are there other people coming to his territory? Why didn't the keeper tell him?

Sunny looked at the two figures that were close to each other with some curiosity.

He shook the collar around his neck, his two little eyes lit up, and he flapped his wings excitedly, as if he had thought of some good idea in his mind.
