Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 51 The Magical World 11

That night, Lin Xiaoqian was still asleep when she suddenly heard a noise downstairs.

She was so startled that she sat up abruptly.

"System, what's that sound? Are there rats in the store?"

The system's cold, indifferent voice was reassuring: "Someone broke the lock on the door and entered the store, but I've already been electrocuted."

Lin Xiaoqian quickly turned on the light and ran downstairs.

When she turned on the lights in the shop, she saw that the shop door was open and a bunch of people were lying haphazardly on the ground.

Upon closer inspection, these were all students from Starlight Magic Academy who had come here for lunch with Miss Norfolk during the day.

“Miss Norfolk is so malicious. I didn’t want to be her cook, so she sent someone to break in and pick the lock.”

After cursing a couple of times, Lin Xiaoqian easily grabbed the group of people by the collar and threw them out the door.

Picking up the lock from the ground, I discovered that it had been damaged by magic and was no longer usable.

Lin Xiaoqian was furious.

He ran to the door and dragged the group of people who were still unconscious back to the door, then stripped them of their magic robes.

Seeing that they still had money pouches on their bodies and several gemstone rings on their hands, Lin Xiaoqian stripped them all off, even taking their magic wands.

Then they grabbed them by the collar and threw them out.

We can't let them get away with this. At the very least, we should compensate her for the money she lost and for her emotional distress.

After closing the shop door and instructing the system to keep an eye on things so no one else could come in, he went back upstairs to continue sleeping.

When Lin Xiaoqian woke up, went downstairs and opened the shop door, she found that the group of people had woken up and left sometime earlier.

Lin Xiaoqian shrugged and pursed her lips.

I went to the kitchen and made myself a delicious breakfast.

Starlight Magic Academy.

Inside a beautiful, luxurious villa.

Miss Norfolk sat on an exquisite sofa, her face contorted with rage, while a row of people knelt before her.

"With so many of you being magic apprentices, you can't even bring back a Muggle who can't use magic?"

She learned the word "Muggle" from the Harry Potter movies, and now anyone who has seen Harry Potter knows that people who don't have magic are called Muggles.

One of the students spoke up: "Miss Norfolk, that store is so weird. We just opened the door and we were all in pain and fainted. It felt like we were attacked by Renault."

Reno, who was also kneeling on the ground, was startled by what he heard: "Mike, don't talk nonsense! I didn't attack you. I was with you right now, and I also passed out."

This is too strange; nobody knows what happened.

Miss Norfolk's anger subsided slightly.

She said to the brown-haired girl, "Vivian, send a few novice mages to bring that woman back. Go now, don't let her get away."

Vivian respectfully accepted the order and left.

Miss Norfolk looked at the row of kneeling people in front of her, a flash of disgust and disdain in her eyes.

"Alright, get out of here, you bunch of useless trash."

The group of people felt as if they had been granted a pardon and hurried out.

After Lin Xiaoqian finished breakfast, Old Henry came to her door to deliver the magic books he had bought for her.

"Boss, can you take all this stuff with you?" Old Henry helped Lin Xiaoqian unload the books from the car.

Lin Xiaoqian took it, put it on the floor of the shop, and said with a smile, "I'll find a way to take it with me."

Old Henry glanced at Lin Xiaoqian, wondering to himself, "Could it be that this boss has a spatial ring?"

He then shook his head inwardly. Only archmages could possess spatial rings, since there were very few mages who knew spatial magic; only high-ranking archmages had the ability to create space.

The boss is just an ordinary person with average fire magic talent who has just started learning magic; it's impossible for him to have a spatial ring.

Once all the magic books were moved in, Lin Xiaoqian happily patted the books beside her and said to Old Henry with a smile, "Thank you, Old Henry. I'll buy you a drink; you can drink whatever you want in the shop, or take it with you!"

Old Henry was overjoyed to hear this, and without being polite to Lin Xiaoqian, he grabbed a few bottles of his favorite drinks and prepared to return to his shop.

Just as he reached the store entrance, a water balloon hurtled towards him.

Startled, old Henry quickly took a step back.

Lin Xiaoqian looked up and saw seven or eight unfamiliar people standing at the door.

"Beginner magicians?" Old Henry frowned as he looked at the magic rank badges on the chests of the group of people.

The man in the lead asked, "Who is Lin Xiaoqian?"

Lin Xiaoqian frowned and said, "I am. Who are you?"

The leading man said arrogantly, "Miss Norfolk requests your presence."

Lin Xiaoqian frowned even more deeply and refused, "I'm not going."

The leading man snorted coldly: "That's not up to you."

After saying that, he cast a spell on Lin Xiaoqian, intending to bind her and take her away.

As a result, the magic failed, and Lin Xiaoqian was standing there perfectly fine.

The leading man looked somewhat surprised and turned to look at old Henry.

The only person in the shop who knows magic is old Henry, a mid-level magician.

He raised his chin and said to old Henry, "Mind your own business and get out of here."

Old Henry felt a pang of pity seeing Lin Xiaoqian all alone, but the Norfolk family was indeed not someone a small-time merchant like himself could afford to offend.

Lin Xiaoqian could see Old Henry's dilemma. He was willing to offend people and leave without fear, but Old Henry still had to live here, and he couldn't drag others down with him.

So he said to old Henry, "It's alright, old Henry, they can't do anything to me, you can go."

Upon hearing this, the leading man snorted coldly.

Old Henry still looked somewhat conflicted, and Lin Xiaoqian pushed him out of the store.

Hurry up and get out so those people can come in, so she can make one last windfall before she leaves.

Old Henry was pushed away by Lin Xiaoqian, but he didn't leave. Instead, he stood aside, waiting to see when he could find an opportunity to help Lin Xiaoqian.

Lin Xiaoqian casually pulled up a chair in the store and sat down, then provocatively beckoned to the leader with her index finger: "Come on over if you dare!"

The leading man's face turned red with anger, but he did not rush in directly.

"Lin Xiaoqian, you are provoking the Norfolk family's authority," the leader said coldly. "I advise you to come with us obediently, or you will bear the consequences."

Lin Xiaoqian remained unmoved. With the protection provided by the system, these novice magicians were no match for her.

She sat calmly in the chair, even picking up a book and starting to read it.

The leader became even angrier upon seeing this.

He winked at the other magicians, signaling them to cast a spell together, attempting to forcibly take Lin Xiaoqian away.

No matter how they cast their spells, Lin Xiaoqian remained unharmed.

Lin Xiaoqian scoffed, "What are you all standing there like idiots at the door for? Get out of the way if you have nothing to do, I still have business to do."

Everyone was enraged by Lin Xiaoqian's taunts, and the leader's face turned gloomy.

He knew that if they couldn't bring Lin Xiaoqian back, Miss Norfolk's wrath would befall them.

"Lin Xiaoqian, you're courting death!" the leader said through gritted teeth.

Then he said to the others, "Let's go in together. I don't believe she can control seven novice mages at once."

After saying that, he led his men and rushed into the store.

As the last person stepped into the store, Lin Xiaoqian smiled slightly at them.

The man in the lead suddenly realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

A group of people began to convulse and then collapsed to the ground.

Lin Xiaoqian excitedly put the book on the table.

Haha, I'm rich! I'm rich!

A novice mage must be much richer than a magic apprentice.
