Chapter 155 The Hidden Magician

Dorothy was quick; once she had gathered all the ingredients, she immediately began cooking.

Based on the evaluations of several taste testers.

They all gave affirmative answers from Elor, Lyons, and Anna.

This moment greatly boosted Dorothy's confidence.

So she immediately spent money to rent a shop and hire a chef. After a short ten-day training period, Walnut Restaurant, owned by the Carter Chamber of Commerce, officially opened.

Dorothy prepared two menus for the newly opened restaurant.

One is just like any other ordinary restaurant outside, and of course, the price is the same.

The other type is what is known as exclusive cuisine.

And Dorothy's playing style is still the same old one.

On the day the restaurant opened, people were hired to spread the word that Walnut Restaurant served delicacies that even nobles raved about.

Legend has it that the great magician visited the chef's house many times just to taste a bite of the delicious food.

After a brief promotional campaign, the newly opened Walnut Restaurant became an instant hit.

The initial customers may have come simply out of curiosity.

But when the waitresses recommended the hidden menu, they were instantly captivated by the delicious food.

Later, they would spontaneously promote the restaurant and take pride in bringing their friends and loved ones to dine there.

"Sister, I'm feeling great right now!" Dorothy held a small fan in her hand and leisurely fanned herself.

Although the Carter Chamber of Commerce only owns one clothing store and one restaurant, both of these stores are extremely profitable.

Dorothy felt she was very close to realizing her dream of becoming a great businesswoman.

Angel, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, stood next to Dorothy.

Dorothy's eyes darted furtively towards Angel's legs.

The maid's skirt barely covered her knees, and her slender legs were covered in soft, smooth white stockings.

Then Dorothy felt a strong gaze directed at her.

Dorothy looked away, blinked, and smiled at Anna sitting not far away.

"hey-hey----"

At this point, Dorothy could only manage an awkward smile.

Anna clicked her tongue and gave a disdainful look.

Upon hearing Anna's voice, Angel lowered her head, her face flushed red to the roots of her ears. She placed her hands in front of her, gripping the hem of her skirt and pressing it down.

Angel is the most awkward one here.

She's wearing this maid outfit now, specifically to please Rosie.

And she usually only changes into it when there are only two people around.

But Anna suddenly came over today, and she hadn't had time to change her clothes back.

"Um, Anna, is there anything I can help you with? We'll head out of the city once we've finished dealing with things here."

Dorothy and Anna made a pact to train outside the city every day.

But it wasn't the agreed time yet, and Dorothy wondered why Anna was already looking for her when she hadn't been late.

Anna looked at Dorothy calmly.

"You seem so busy; you probably don't pay attention to your surroundings."

"Hmm?" Dorothy tilted her head slightly, not understanding what Anna meant by that.

Anna didn't mince words and said directly, "A lot of people have come to the City of Apprentices recently."

Dorothy thought about it.

"The city of apprentices is usually quite populated."

Moreover, besides magicians, the City of Apprentices also has all sorts of novel items, making it a popular place for merchants to do business.

Therefore, the daily foot traffic is enormous.

But Anna clearly didn't mean that.

Seeing that Dorothy didn't understand, Anna looked out the window.

"If they were just ordinary people, it would be fine, but they are all magicians."

This news made Dorothy raise her eyebrows.

Many magicians have arrived.

Is there going to be another event like last year's magicians' exchange meeting?

Dorothy is now in a no-man's-land.

The City of Apprentices isn't looking for her, Raffi isn't paying attention to her either, and Renee isn't in the City of Apprentices right now.

At other times, Elor and Lyons also teach at the Magic Tower.

Therefore, Dorothy did not know much about what was happening in the Apprentice City.

Furthermore, the City of Apprentices is not a closed city, so it is not surprising that magicians enter it from time to time.

Anna shook her head slightly as she looked at Dorothy, who still hadn't figured it out.

"Those mages all came in hiding their identities, and I also found two sorcerers who were also hiding their identities."

It's clearly suspicious that a mage would infiltrate the City of Apprentices while concealing their identity.

Seeing Dorothy's expression finally change, Anna muttered to herself, "She can still react. Looks like your brain hasn't gotten too stupid yet."

"Hey, don't talk badly about people in front of them," Dorothy retorted helplessly.

Anna turned her head away, pretending not to hear Dorothy's words.

"But Anna, how did you find out?" Dorothy asked, somewhat curious.

Upon entering the City of Apprentices, there are always mages who conduct checks, and there are also magic circles for identification. If an unfamiliar mage enters, the City of Apprentices cannot possibly remain completely unaware.

Dorothy is now wondering if anything has been discovered in the City of Apprentices.

In response to Dorothy's question, Anna pointed to her eyes.

"Our elven race has many reconnaissance spells that can be used to discover enemies hiding in the shadows."

"Some of those magicians came in disguised as merchants, and some disguised themselves as commoners, but I could still detect traces of magic on them."

Then Anna told Dorothy how she discovered those people.

Anna's daily life is basically a routine of going between two points.

During my rest time, I stay at Elor's house, and then I go outside the city to hone my magic.

Sometimes she would help Elor by going out to buy him meals.

That afternoon, as Anna was walking home with a shopping basket in her hand, she suddenly noticed a hint of magic emanating from a merchant who was haggling with a seller not far away.

The merchant and seller argued heatedly, a scene that is quite common to see.

Merchants often argue to earn more profit, while sellers argue to sell for more money.

What's unusual is that the seller was just an ordinary person, while the merchant was a high-level magician.

It's not uncommon for a high-level mage to become a merchant.

The problem is that the merchant wasn't wearing any items that would indicate he was a magician, and he was also concealing his magical abilities.

It was only because he was emotionally agitated and couldn't control himself that Anna noticed a trace of magic that he accidentally leaked; otherwise, from an external perspective, there would have been no flaws.

From then on, Anna became more observant and would quietly observe passersby when she walked on the street.

This observation actually led her to discover many suspicious things.

Many hidden magicians have appeared among the pedestrians.

Most of the residents in the City of Apprentices, even those who possess magic, are only at the apprentice level.

True magicians are very rare.

The sudden appearance of so many magicians is clearly abnormal.

Moreover, through Anna's observations, she even discovered a mage-level magician.

The fact that a magician of this caliber could be hidden among the crowd clearly indicates that someone is plotting something.
