"Looks like I'll have to keep this cousin for a few days …" Lin Yun smiled and ordered the servants to take care of that cousin before leaving for the Gilded Rose with the old butler.
The Gilded Rose had been developing very quickly in recent times. The old butler had expanded thirteen branches in ten days, almost covering every corner of Thousand Sails City. But most of the time, people would call these branches the Gilded Rose of the Lion Monarch Street or the Gilded Rose of the Charlie Street. Only the branch on the Victorious Return Street would be directly called the Gilded Rose.
The current Gilded Rose was already a colossus on the Victorious Return Street, occupying an entire street. In terms of scale, it was already comparable to the Sage Tower on the other side.
But whether it was the old butler or Lin Yun, they both felt that selling too many alchemy items in one place wasn't a good thing.
Thus, the entire street had been transformed into a technology center, with a large number of alchemy workshops and laboratories, giving every Alchemist the best working environment. As for the store, only the original Gilded Rose remained. Many people wouldn't be able to tell that this was the number one alchemy store of Thousand Sails City when they first came.
After entering the Gilded Rose, Lin Yun first greeted a few Alchemists before heading to the laboratory on the 2nd floor.
Ever since the Gilded Rose's business was on the right track, Lin Yun hadn't personally crafted any alchemy items for a long time. Even when he occasionally obtained some precious magic materials, Lin Yun would hand them over to Faleau, not caring whether Faleau would waste them or not.
This way, Lin Yun saved a lot of time and Faleau accumulated a lot of experience.
Two days ago, that young Alchemist finally broke through his bottleneck and became a true Great Alchemist.
This was the first Great Alchemist the Gilded Rose had besides Lin Yun.
Lin Yun had come today to talk to Faleau and plan a path for him.
After all, the Great Alchemist Realm was very important. At the peak of the magic civilization, stepping into the ranks of the Great Alchemist Realm was considered to have truly entered the world of alchemy. If one took a detour at that level, it wouldn't be as easy to remedy as before. Some detours might make a Great Alchemist with boundless prospects unable to reach higher heights for the rest of their lives.
Lin Yun waited in the laboratory for a while before someone knocked on the door. But when Lin Yun opened the door, he discovered that it wasn't Faleau, but Remy.
"Remy, why are you here?"
"It's like this, Boss Merlin, there is a guest outside. He said that he is your cousin and wants you to go down immediately … Go down to see him …" Remy, who was already an official Alchemist, couldn't help feeling nervous when facing Lin Yun.
As one of the earliest employees of the Gilded Rose, Remy's understanding of the young boss far surpassed that of the Alchemists who came later. Remy had seen Mason eat a glass bottle with his own eyes, and then he had seen a Great Mage being slapped silly by the young boss.
Remy knew better than anyone that this smiling young boss was far from being as good-natured as he looked on the surface.
"…" Lin Yun suddenly felt a vein throbbing on his forehead. 'Is this William Merlin finished!?'
After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Yun suppressed the urge to curse. He only said with a gloomy expression, "Alright, Remy, I understand. You can go down first."
Lin Yun quickly reached the lobby downstairs and discovered that there were already many people there. Faleau, Hauss, Remy, William Merlin, as well as a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a black robe.
William Merlin's expression was quite unsightly, and when he saw Lin Yun coming down, he coldly snorted. "I'll say it again, my time is very limited. You already made me wait twice, I don't want a third time."
"…"
"In short, I don't want it to happen again. Otherwise, I'll directly leave Thousand Sails City and no longer care about your life or death." After William Merlin finished speaking with a stern expression, he sized up the Gilded Rose with undisguised contempt. "Mafa Merlin, I have to say that your management of the Gilded Rose is terrible. Take a look, your father left you a shop in a prime location, but you can barely maintain it. Let me ask you, do you even have a hundred alchemy items in this shop?"
"Probably over a hundred …" Lin Yun seriously thought about it. It seemed that there really wasn't much left. Ten days ago, a dozen carriages of Nether Iron Ores and magic gems had filled the Gilded Rose's warehouse. In order to make room, the old butler even commandeered the Gilded Rose's lobby and sent most of the alchemy items to the various branches. Now, there really seemed to be only a hundred alchemy items left.
"You also know that there are only a hundred?" William Merlin looked at Lin Yun with a stern expression, a bit resentful that Lin Yun didn't live up to his expectations. "I already investigated. This is called the Victorious Return Street, the most prime location of Thousand Sails City. You are guarding such an expensive place, yet you only have a hundred alchemy items in your shop. How weak is your Gilded Rose's alchemy skills?"
"Hey, be careful with your words!" Before Lin Yun could say anything, Faleau couldn't help retorting.
The current Faleau was the youngest Great Alchemist in Thousand Sails City, apart from Lin Yun. On the day he advanced to the Great Alchemist realm, almost all the forces of Thousand Sails City congratulated him through various channels. Many of them directly expressed their intentions to rope him in, offering all kinds of conditions. Even Faleau, who had worked in the Black Horn Auction House for a few years, couldn't help gasping in amazement.
But after gasping in amazement, Faleau didn't hesitate and directly refused the invitations of all the forces.
Because Faleau knew that the reason he could become a Great Alchemist in his twenties wasn't because he was talented, nor was it because he was diligent. It was all because he worked in the Gilded Rose, and the boss of the Gilded Rose was called Mafa Merlin, nothing more.
