Gangland Fantasy 27 Naga's Supreme Hall

It's been two days since the incident with the scroll happened. Naga can't use his arcane mana reserve so he decided to train his physical body. He used the book's teachings as well in checking his basic Dragon Art scroll. He asked Old Samuel to take a look. He trusted the Magnus Clan but it is best to be always on guard. He wanted to make sure that the scroll is safe.

'At least, it's good that I used the pure flame since I learned that using it while still an Arcane Expert is dangerous.' Naga thought.

He can utilize his dragon mana so for the past two days, he trained both his dragon mana and physical body. He trained his spacial awareness too. This don't really require his mana reserve.

"My Lord, I have here now the recovery potion. This will help repairing your mana reserve." Bill said.

Naga smiled and thanked Bill. His reserve was damaged which is the reason why he can't utilize any arcane art. According to Old Samuel, this usually happen if the body is not use to any powerful magic art.

Naga continue doing this for a whole week. He trained with great vigor and momentum.

After that week of training, he noticed that his reserve was fixed and he can use his mana reserve again. He also felt that he improved overall. He will break through to Arcane Master anytime soon as well.

Naga is resting at his house when Old Samuel visited him to deliver some news.

"Naga, our shop will open in two ." Old Samuel said.

"I see. How about the weapons we created?" Naga asked.

"Superb! The mansion liked it. Old Drun is really great!" Old Samuel said.

"Good to know." Naga was happy.

"Our shop doesn't have a name." Old Samuel looked at Naga seriously.

He continued, "I asked them but they're all idiots. Specially those two. Old Drun recommended 'Demon Orc Destruction Shop' while Bill wanted to name it 'Naga Magical Item Store'. One wanted it to be named like a bringer of hell while the other one thought like we are opening a grocery store."

Old Samuel got irritated and walked out. It's the main reason why he visited Naga.

"Well, they tried. It's hard to name a store, you see?" Naga said and smiled.

"What name do you have in mind, Old Samuel?" He asked.

Old Samuel looked at him seriously. "I'm thinking of 'Thousand Myths God and Deity Super Shop', quite nice, right?

Naga almost fell down.

"..."

"Well, with that name... Demon Kings and Masters might attack us in thinking that we are directly going against them." Naga said after a while.

"What name do you have in mind, Naga?" Old Samuel asked.

Naga looked at him and thought that this old man is all out with this shop naming issue.

"I guess we should pay respect to this city. I'm not really into this naming shop issue but I think... Profound Sky Magic Hall will do."

He continued. "We will not sell just weapons and armors since we have a contract with the mansion for it already."

"We will also sell magical items and scrolls. I want to have an auction hall. You can help with appraising items and recruit people for it too. We will not stay in this city all the time. Well, that's specially for me. So I want us to have an auction hall for things we'll get in the future."

Old Samuel is listening to him seriously. He didn't expect it.

"Dilan can give pointers to aspiring mages. We will accept payments. We can be friends with those low rank noble who can't send their children to any arcane colleges by doing this. We can build more connections. We can look for talents from the commoners, this can help the city in the future and we will gain a lot of support too. Elves' magic comprehension is great so let's use them properly. He will be our Magic Hall's instructor and head magic researcher."

"Albert can provide tips in hunting magical beasts to those who can pay. He's a former ranger anyway. He can create and recruit his own team too. He will get raw materials for us by hunting magical beasts. As a hunter, he can secretly surveilance the areas around the city for our advantage without anyone questioning him."

Old Samuel started writing these information now.

"Nicholas will go with me. He can assist me with a lot of things. He's a good and honest man too." Naga smiled.

"Lastly, Oscar... He will be the backbone of our 'personal army'. He was a former squad captain. A good leader and a charismatic elf. He'll do great things. His main task is to manage the guards and the experts that will be under our banner." Naga stopped and closed his eyes.

Old Samuel was surprised. He didn't expect that this young boy has a huge dream for their store, no... it is a magic hall now.

"Nice. Nice. This is so grand but I think, we can do this. It's possible." Old Samuel was happy.

"Great. Help them with the recruitment. Make sure that no snakes will enter our banner." Naga said.

"Rest assured." Old Samuel smiled. He has plans now and he will execute swifly the needed arrangements.

"We need to make this a huge success. I want to create a group in the future, a gang, an underground family to be specific. The House Of Iron Crow will be a big help to me." Naga looked at Old Samuel seriously.

Old Samuel asked. "Are you reviving the Ghosthand Gang?"

"No. A Different one. A family that's powerful enough to overcome any difficulties." Naga said and looked outside the window. He saw how beautiful the night view of the lake is and he's thinking how nice it is to have a barbeque grill.

Old Samuel looked at Naga with sadness in his heart. He thought how Naga was sold as a young slave when the Ghosthand Gang was destroyed.

"Naga, Bill said that you will need to go with him to the city lord's mansion tomorrow. The city lord sent a personal invitation to you. Tomorrow is her grandfather's birthday, a former commander general of the empire." Old Samuel said.

Naga nodded and smiled. He remembered that tomorrow will be the first time for him to see the city lord.
