"Let's not even talk about how going solo would offend Wizard Archi; I can't even afford a shop in the market," Simon said.
"The cheapest shop in the market costs at least 10,000 Magic Stones, not to mention taxes and stocking inventory.
"Without 20,000 or 30,000 Magic Stones, it's simply impossible to start a business.
"And that's for a shop in some remote corner. If it's near Wizard Archi's pharmacy, opening a shop would probably require 50,000 or 60,000 Magic Stones.
"Besides, doing business privately is hard to scale. I've tried before but ended up just working for others."
"What are you worried about?" the burly Fela asked, "Wizard Archi?"
"He's about to leave. Besides, there are far more Official Wizards in Leipzig Market than just him; finding a backer is quite simple."
Reaching this point, he finally revealed his purpose. "You know I've been following the young master of the Kape family, and the young master has always wanted to have his own business."
