The Wizard World

Angelet and the others chatted along the way. I also learned the names and origins of these people.

The only girl is Asuna, the only long-range player in this team, and a knife thrower.

The man who took the lead was called Xi Lan. Unlike the others, he was born in a wizard family. The rest of the members are apprentices who came to join Nora.

"Your name reminds me of a friend of mine." Angelet said with a smile.

"Really?" Xi Lan also smiled, "My grandfather once gave me this name. In my native language, it means hope. Green, what are you going to do when you come to Nola? It's convenient. Tell me? I think maybe we can help you a little bit." He seemed very enthusiastic and sincere, with almost no sense of scheming.

"I just came here to look for the materials I need. I've been looking for some things for a long time without any results. If possible, I might really trouble you. Of course, the reward will not be small." Angelet nodded.

"That's no problem. Xilan's family is a local family here, and everyone is familiar with it." Asuna added with a smile.

Walking along the gravel road, there are more and more horse carts and ox carts on the road. Some passers-by with backpacks and boxes on their backs also gradually gathered. The sounds of wheels and the occasional calls of livestock seemed a little noisy.

The road ahead gradually turned into an upward slope, and clusters of white snow gradually appeared on the surrounding ground. The green grass became more and more sparse, and the gray stones and white snow powder became more and more numerous.

Angelet rode a horse and looked up from a distance.

At the end of the road in the distance, an invisible white snow mountain range slowly emerged in the distance. The place connecting the gravel road is the entrance, and a black cuboid stone tablet stands tall at the entrance, dividing the flow of people and vehicles into two streams.

Looking from afar, the surface of the stele reflected a faint glass-like luster, which seemed extremely smooth.

Angelet pulled the reins and carefully looked at the distant stone tablet. The compressed and more condensed mental power allowed him to detect the hidden fluctuations on the stone tablet.

The entire stele is like a signal tower, constantly emitting faint water ripples in all directions. I don't know what it is for.

"Xilan, what's that?" Angelet pointed to the stone tablet in the distance and asked.

Xi Lan on the carriage looked along and smiled immediately: "The black crystal pillar, I heard it is used to detect any violent fluctuations in mana energy within a certain range. It is one of the main means to prohibit fighting here."

"It is said that there are other functions." The middle-aged man on the side said with a smile, "By the way, Asuna, your father told you to go back and go to his place."

Asuna was taken aback: "What's the matter? I have to deal with the materials later?"

"It's enough for us to deal with the materials. You go back first, I guess your father may have something urgent." Xi Lan took out two magic stones from his waist pocket. It looks like a medium magic stone. A piece of inferior magic stone equal to about ten pieces.

He handed the magic stone to Asuna.

"This is your share. I paid the market price first, and I will get the price if I sell it later. Hehe." He deliberately made a satisfied expression.

Too much. I can't take so many shares." Asuna hesitated, but Xi Lan threw the magic stone over, and she could only catch it quickly.

The others also laughed lightly. Immediately, the topic changed to other aspects, and the price of magic stones and materials was no longer discussed.

Angelet also noticed that this Asuna was probably short of money, and everyone in the team seemed to treat her like a younger sister and took good care of her. The atmosphere of this small group was simply beyond his expectation of harmony.

"By the way, I might have something to do later, why don't you introduce this place to Mr. Green for me, Asuna?" Xi Lan said suddenly.

"I have to go back first..." Asuna hesitated.

Angelet also laughed, reached out and took out a medium magic stone from his waist pocket and threw it over.

"This is the fee for leading the way."

Asuna hurriedly caught it. "It's too much, as long as two magic stones are enough. I'm looking for you." She hurriedly took off her waist bag.

"No need, these magic stones are nothing." Angelet smiled. He quickly skipped this period of primitive accumulation because of the chip, and he naturally knew how important the apprentice's demand for magic stones was at this stage. Now he still has a black crystal card in his waist pocket, which is an elite card extracted from magic stones. One card is worth thousands of magic stones, and there are a few top-grade magic stones for pocket use. And I have arrived in this strange environment that I have never met before. It is completely possible to make potions by yourself, and there is no shortage of magic stones.

Perhaps Asuna was really short of magic stones. After some persuasion, she finally took the medium magic stone, that is, ten magic stones, with a face of shame. The magic stones they talk about are inferior magic stones by default.

And the throwing of these ten magic stones made all the team members look at Angelet slightly changed. People who can casually throw ten magic stones without taking it seriously are not ordinary people.

Asuna lowered her head, sat in the carriage, and whispered through the window: "We are on a mission, with some materials mixed in, and only an average of 10 or 20 magic stones per person after working hard. People can easily make ten yuan. Toll"

"Maybe it's the heir of a big family or something." A companion nodded, "Asuna, find a chance to learn more about him, maybe it's not clear when your family's debts will be paid off. Didn't you keep saying Do you want to find someone rich to pay off your debts?"

Asuna bit her lower lip, but said nothing. She knows that the team is the same as the outside, and it's more casual for girls' first time. but she is different

Outside the carriage, Captain Green and Xi Lan came to laugh from time to time.

Soon the carriage came to the black stone tablet.

The stele was built on a small round white square, and the ground was a whole piece of smooth stone surface, showing off-white color. Vehicles and trucks go in along the left side of the stele, while the outbound traffic flows out along the right side.

Angelet sat on the horse with his head turned sideways, looking at the black stone tablet beside him.

The stele is made of crystal, with a smooth surface like a mirror and rectangular four sides. Continuously exudes a circle of transparent ripples.

Looking back, Angelet looked forward.

The surrounding squares are built in the grooves of the snow-capped mountains, with gray and white stone walls on all sides and on the ground. Behind the stele is the entrance to a canyon.

As the flow of people walked in, a roar of water flowed into the ears immediately.

What came into Angelet's field of vision was a huge cup-shaped canyon. Directly ahead, two white water streams fell vertically, looking like two white cloths from a distance. The roar of the water came from there.

The four sides around the canyon are all gray and black, and the steep stone walls are full of dense, protruding sharp-mouthed stone cliffs.

Some old gray-black stone houses are built on the protruding parts of these gray-black stone cliffs, and the stone houses can be seen from a distance. The surface is slightly greenish. Overgrown with vines and moss.

On the stone wall on the right, a zig-zag gray-white mountain road zigzags upwards along the mountain wall, and the flow of cars and people follows the mountain road. Converging into a gray line, it slowly flows up and down.

"Let's go." Xi Lan turned over and got out of the carriage, leading the two horses forward.

Angelet also noticed that the ground of the canyon was a bit uneven, which was not suitable for dragging the carriage quickly. He also jumped off his horse. Lead the horse rope and follow in.

The entrance is very wide, enough for five or six carriages to squeeze in together.

"This is the entrance to Nora's canyon. Instead, there is an ordinary resource exchange, which is full of daily necessities such as flour, meat, and fruits. You can find basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation here. It is a place specially used for supplies." Asuna got out of the carriage and followed Angelet.

"The main traffic point of Nora is the exchange. Many families have a point around the exchange. The exchange is a resource exchange point established by various organizations. All resource exchanges must go to the exchange. And this is a public exchange. , does not belong to any organization." Asuna introduced to Angelet.

"So how many exchanges does Nora have?" Angelet asked.

"A total of five large and small. One for each of the three major organizations, as a point for exchanging their unique resources, and other organizations jointly built one as an exchange point. Including this public exchange, a total of five One." Asuna pointed to the protruding cliffs of the canyon.

"Did you see the stone house on the top? That's a trading point for different resources. There are many trading points in each exchange, and different types of resources are carried out in different trading points. And they all have powerful force as a security and fair guarantee."

"Public exchanges are jointly maintained by all organizations, while other exchanges can only be maintained by responsible organizations. Without strength, it is naturally impossible to maintain an exchange. Buying and selling openly and secretly, for wizards For us, it doesn’t take much energy, just a few small tricks can achieve the goal.” Asuna shrugged.

"That's true." Angelet himself knew that there were more than a dozen hallucinogenic methods that could perfectly disguise a fair transaction. "So are there any spell-casting materials or something here?"

"The public exchange only exchanges daily necessities. The materials needed to cast spells cannot be bought here, but there are the most clothes and food here. Of course, they are all ordinary, not enchanted items."

A group of people mixed in the crowd and went up the mountain road on the right.

The humid warm wind swirls continuously in the canyon. It is obvious that the outside is the freezing cold of the Daxue Mountain, but it looks unusually warm here.

Angelet led the horse and slowly moved up.

In the front direction on the left, on a rocky cliff, outside a gray-black stone house, some ox carts carrying goods were parked there, and more than a dozen strong men were laboriously unloading the goods, while two supervisors shouted loudly. The sound was covered by the sound of the small waterfall, so I couldn't hear it clearly.

Asuna caught his gaze.

"That's where beans are traded, including red beans, black beans, and mainly the sea pod beans of the sea tribe." Asuna said with a smile, "the food here is mainly brought in by the sea tribe."

"Sea Clan?" Angelet was slightly taken aback.

"Yes. Pay attention to the faces of those moving goods." Asuna whispered.

Angelet nodded and looked carefully at the men carrying the goods.
