Three days later, Noland.
Josiah was invited by the man in gray to visit Noland's mail delivery organization, the Owl's Nest.
In fact, when Josiah came to this organization, he was more like an owl keeper than a mail delivery organization.
The layout of the entire hall was almost the same as Noland's patent conference. The only difference was that apart from the staff below, there were owls watching from various vantage points in the room.
"This organization has been in charge of the transportation of letters and goods since Noland was established."
The grey-robed man walked around the 'eagle's nest' with the help of his walking stick. The humans working there seemed to have gotten used to the grey-robed man's visits. After bowing slightly to the grey-robed man, they went back to their own work.
"After the magic net appeared, fewer and fewer people wrote to Noland. I originally suggested to the person in charge here to dismiss some of the apprentices." The man in gray sighed as he said this.
He really liked the feeling of being able to communicate freely in the spellcaster forum, but as one of the founders of the Owl Pen Club, he had a special feeling for this organization.
"There are already more than twelve registered shops in the magic net, and there will only be more in the future. So these owls will be very busy in the future."
Josiah had been busy with the audit of the magic net shops recently, so Josiah asked Madam Marina to hire a group of people to do the audit.
"It's already busy now." The man in gray led Josiah to the warehouse at the back.
The space inside the warehouse was very large. There were many goods piled up on the ground, and above it was a place specially provided for the owls to rest.
This warehouse should have been specially built with some kind of magic to remove smell.
Josiah did not smell the strange smell that a group of owls would have when they gathered.
"What if these owls are maliciously stopped by someone?"
Josiah looked at a staff member wrapping up a palm-sized item.
There was a wooden handle provided for the owls to hold on to at the top of the package.
A brownish-grey owl with a wingspan of nearly one and a half meters wide grabbed the package and flew into the sky.
"Those who violate the laws of Noland will be punished accordingly."
The man in gray tapped the ground with his staff, and a special inscription mark appeared on the owls standing on the roof.
"If they are attacked, these marks will give the one who released them a warning," the grey-clothed one said.
"Magic sure is convenient."
Josiah had lost count of the number of times he had sighed like this.
The man in gray once again took Josiah to see the other facilities here, which made Josiah more and more certain that this building was a breeding ground for owls, and delivering parcels was just a side job.
When Josiah followed the grey-clothed man back to the delivery hall, something unexpected happened.
A spellcaster in a red mage robe was arguing with a servant in the mail delivery hall.
"The item I bought last time arrived within a day. Now that a day and a half has passed, the second item must have arrived!" The young spellcaster was clearly agitated, "Why must the owls deliver it to my house? Can't I pick it up myself? "
"Please wait patiently at home. If the item you ordered arrives in Noland, we will definitely deliver it to you as soon as possible," the servant tried his best to explain.
"There isn't enough time! Please make an exception. I need to make an inscription stone immediately, and the parcel contains a very important alchemy material, "the spellcaster said loudly.
"Judging from his attire, he should be an apprentice of the red-clothed man."
The grey-clothed man immediately recognized the identity of the spellcaster who was shouting in the hall.
"The red-clothed man is known for being strict with his apprentices. Every once in a while, he will conduct an examination. If they don't pass, they will be expelled from the Philosopher's Tower."
The grey-clothed man looked at the spellcaster's pleading expression and finally sighed softly. He waved his hand to summon a servant.
"Please help me find his parcel," the grey-clothed man said softly to the servant.
The servant nodded and immediately walked into the warehouse at the back. Not long after, he returned with a palm-sized parcel.
"Wait a moment! Can you … let me see the parcel first? "
Josiah, who had been watching from the side, called out to the servant after seeing the insignia on the parcel.
With the grey-clothed man's tacit consent, the servant first handed the parcel to Josiah.
On the surface of the parcel were words written with magic-imprinted ink. On it were the sender and recipient, as well as the parcel number that Josiah had specially provided.
"So it really is from the Demon Realm?" Josiah looked at the words' Demon Realm Alchemy Workshop 'written on the parcel's sender.
Three days ago, when the prophet told Josiah that his sister had decided to open an online shop, Josiah didn't really believe it. In the end, the prophet applied for a shop on the Mana Net the next day.
The shop called 'Demon Realm Alchemy Workshop' had only completed four transactions on the Mana Net. This seemed insignificant compared to the nearly 2,000 transactions on the Mana Net.
Perhaps it was because the shop's reputation had not been completely established.
"Give it to him," Josiah returned the parcel to the servant.
He also hurriedly took the parcel and handed it to the even more impatient spellcaster.
After receiving the parcel, the spellcaster opened the interface of his Mana Net and verified that he was indeed the owner of the parcel before being allowed to leave.
"Can I request for my subordinate to build a portal under Noland?" Josiah asked the grey-clothed man softly after watching the spellcaster leave.
"Your subordinate? Sinful demons … The Sage Council is still wary of the Demon Realm, especially the red-clothed and yellow-clothed ones. " The grey-clothed man stroked his beard that had an owl hidden in it. "But if you are willing to open the portal to the public and accept the Sage Council's supervision, I can propose to the council to agree to your request."
"Alright."
Josiah was glad that the grey-clothed man had tacitly agreed to build a portal under Noland, and the other sages knew nothing about it.
But if the alchemy materials in the 'Demon Realm Alchemy Workshop' were as effective as described, Josiah felt that it was only a matter of time before the transaction volume of the 'online shop' skyrocketed.
By then, the sinful demons would not only have to transport one or two parcels, but thousands and tens of thousands.
Josiah opened the Mana Net website and entered the 'Demon Realm Alchemy Workshop' shop. There was only one item in the shop called 'Sinful Demon's Scale', priced at 15 gold coins.
This price was very expensive for some poor alchemists.
That was why the shop only sold three copies, and there was only one comment.
The content of the comment was' I hope this scale can pass today's inscription test! Lord Zenas bless me! '
So that red-clothed spellcaster was a fan of 'Beauty and the Demon'?
Josiah looked at the introduction and pictures below the product. It was all too formulaic, and it did not make people want to 'buy, buy, buy' at all.
In terms of business methods, the prophet was still too young.
