The next week was turbulent in Lemoria. Everyone was curious and scared about the recent deaths in the nearby forest, which had beco a forbidden zone like the canyon area. To make matters worse, there were also reports of other demonic attacks in different cities. Damian suspected that Miller's army was behind them.
Damian was busy helping the others make the temple decent to live in, and after one week, the place was much better! They had installed lights to brighten the place up, brought new furniture, and cleaned the dust. They had also drained the water from the fissure, and the only thing left was to make a secret entrance to the temple, but that would take so more ti to complete.
It was not a big deal that they didn't have a secret passage yet. No one dared to go to the canyon area, and even if they did, only those who Damian allowed could open the temple's doors.
Despite the good news regarding the temple, there was another situation that Damian had to deal with: his debt.
With the current chaos in Lemoria, the illegal fights in the coliseum were not happening, and Damian was counting on them to make so profit.
'I don't want to take Frederic's money… Maybe I should start my own business?'
Damian went to the potion shop to see how it was going, and he was surprised by how many custors there were! There were so many that they had to form a line outside of the shop, waiting for their turn.
"Hey, you! Don't you see the line? You can't just skip it!" soone yelled at Damian.
Obviously, he didn't care. Why should he wait in line if he was one of the owners of the store? Frederic and Raikono were the ones who spent most of their ti there, but Damian was also an owner, and it was with his money that the shop was running.
The person who yelled was angry after seeing Damian skip the line like that, but did nothing. Lemoria had strict rules after the recent incident, and anyone who committed cris like fighting inside the city would go to prison.
"Damian!" Frederic said, hugging Damian.
"Old bones! You look happy taking care of this shop."
"I am, yes. This is a peaceful thing to do, unlike fighting."
They chatted about so casual stuff until Damian asked Frederic about a business opportunity. They were speaking inside the back area of the shop where only authorized people could enter.
"Rember the enchantnt shop I told you about? There's not a single one in Lemoria, and I think you have talent with magic considering the spells you know, so maybe it can work?" Frederic said.
That was the idea that Damian had in mind, but he wasn't sure if it would work or if it would only make him lose money.
"You can start by renting a small place. It's not like you need that much space for an enchantnt shop. I can help with the promotion, and I can get you so books about enchantnt as well. I rember seeing them in the library."
"Thank you, Frederic."
Frederic was very helpful. Damian was truly happy to have him by his side. Anyway, after their talk, Damian went looking for a place to rent while Frederic went on to get the books about enchanting.
Lemoria was divided into several areas, and Damian decided to put his shop in the richer area instead of the central area where Frederic's shop was.
Why? Because an enchantnt service was much more expensive than potions, and for that reason, Damian believed that the best place to have his shop was among the wealthiest people of the city.
The main challenge was the price. Renting a shop in the richer area of the city was much more expensive, but Damian was willing to take the risk.
'This is the only way to make so big cash, or else I will be in trouble when they co to collect the money…'
Damian rented a small but cozy place, with marble white walls, huge windows, and a private room for his enchantnt process. It looked more modern than the other simple buildings in Lemoria's central part.
The price was steep, but Damian was confident that he could make the money back soon. He t with Frederic after that, and got the enchantnt books from him.
"These are the books," Frederic said, giving Damian two books, "you can start by buying a few simple weapons to enchant them. Let know if you need any help."
Damian's idea was to offer his services to enchant specific weapons that the custors requested, and also to sell so pre-enchanted weapons in his shop for a lower price.
That way, the rich people would pay more to get a unique and specialized enchantnt on their weapons, while those with less money still had the opportunity to buy good weapons.
Of course, that depended on Damian's ability to learn how to enchant, as it was not an easy task. Moreover, Damian had little ti before they ca to collect the money.
'I will spend all of my waking hours trying to get good at this!'
And that's what Damian did. The process of enchanting an item was harder than Damian expected. He needed a weapon or another type of item, the chant for the enchantnt, and control over the mana flow to make it work.
Not only that, but he also needed sothing called 'Elental Crystals', which were basically mana in an elental form, to use to imbue the weapon with it.
The first items Damian tried to enchant were a total failure, but after many attempts, he succeeded in making an iron dagger with poison on its blade!
It was a good weapon. Damian could tell that there was room for improvent, making the enchantnt more powerful, and that was what he aid for!
After two weeks, he started selling so weapons in his shop, and offering his services to others. The first custor who stepped into his shop was a woman with red hair and an important identity.
