Angelet and a few others chatted as they walked forward. At the same time, he learned the names and origins of these people.
The only girl's name is Asuna, she is the only long-range position in the team, and she is 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 were apprentices who joined Nora from outside.
"Your name reminds me of a friend of mine." Angelet said with a smile.
"Really?" Xilan also smiled, "This name was given to me by my grandfather. In my native language, it means hope. Green, what do you plan to do when you come to Nola? It's convenient.
Tell me? I think maybe we can help you a little." He seemed very enthusiastic and sincere, with almost no sense of scheming.
"I'm just looking for the materials I need. I've been looking for some things for a long time with no results. If possible, I might bother you. Of course the reward will not be less." Angelet nodded.
"That's no problem. Xilan's family is a local family here and they are familiar with each other." Asuna added with a smile.
As we walked along the gravel road, there were more and more horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts on the road. Some passers-by carrying backpacks and boxes gradually became denser. The sound of wheels and the occasional braying 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 grass became sparser, and there were more gray stones and white snow powder.
Angelet rode his horse and looked up from a distance.
At the end of the road in the distance, an endless stretch of white snow-capped mountains slowly emerges in the distance. Connecting the gravel road is the entrance. A black rectangular stone tablet stands tall at the entrance, dividing the flow of people and vehicles into two.
share.
Looking at the stone tablet from a distance, the surface reflects a light glass-like luster and seems extremely smooth.
Angelet pulled the reins and looked carefully at the stone tablet in the distance. His compressed and more concentrated mental power allowed him to detect the hidden fluctuations on the stone tablet.
The entire stone monument is like a signal tower, constantly radiating light water ripples in all directions. I don't know what its purpose is.
"Xi Lan, what is that?" Angele pointed to the stone tablet in the distance and asked.
Xi Lan on the carriage looked along and smiled immediately: "The black crystal pillar is said to be 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 it has other functions." The middle-aged man on the side said with a smile, "By the way, Asuna, your father asked you to go back and go to his place quickly."
Asuna was stunned: "What's the matter? I have to deal with the materials later?"
"We are enough to handle the materials. You should go back first. I think your father may be in a hurry." Xilan took out two magic stones from his waist bag. They looked like medium-sized magic stones. One piece is worth about ten yuan.
Inferior magic stone.
He handed the magic stone to Asuna.
"This is your share. I paid the market price first, and I will get the extra price after a while. Hehe..." He deliberately made a satisfied expression.
"This... is a bit too much. I can't take so much..." Asuna hesitated, but Xilan threw the magic stone over, and she could only catch it quickly.
The others also laughed lightly. Immediately, the topic diverted to other aspects, and they no longer talked about magic stones and material prices.
Angelet also saw that Asuna was probably short of money, and everyone in the team seemed to treat her like a sister and take good care of her. The atmosphere in this small group was beyond his expectation.
"By the way, I may have something to do later. Asuna, why don't you introduce this place to Mr. Green for me?" Xilan suddenly said.
"Well...I have to go back first..." Asuna hesitated.
Angelet also laughed, reached out and took out a medium-sized magic stone from his waist bag and threw it over.
"This is the cost of leading the way."
Asuna hurriedly caught it. "This is too much. Just two magic stones are enough. I'm looking for you." She hurriedly took off her waist bag.
"No need, this magic stone is nothing." Angelet smiled. He quickly skipped this primitive accumulation period because of the chip. Naturally, he also knew how important the apprentice's need for magic stones was at this stage. Now
He still has a black crystal card in his waist bag, which is an essence card extracted from magic stones. One card is worth almost a thousand magic stones, and he also has a few high-quality magic stones for pocket money. And he arrived in this unknown place.
In an unfamiliar environment, you can completely make potions 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-sized magic stone with a look of shame, which was ten magic stones. The magic stones in their mouths were all spoken of by default.
Wait for the magic stone.
Throwing out these ten magic stones also made all the team members look at Angele slightly differently. People who can throw away 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 worked hard for one mission, mixed in some materials, and only got an average of ten or twenty magic stones per person. Others can just make it for ten."
Bring travel expenses..."
"Maybe he is the heir of a big family or something." A companion nodded, "Asuna, find a chance to get to know him better, maybe... Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take to pay off your family's debt.
Haven’t you always said that you want to find a rich man to pay off your debt?”
Asuna bit her lower lip and didn't say anything. She knew that in the team, just like outside, they were more casual about a girl's first time. But she was different...
Outside the carriage, Captains Green and Xilan came and laughed from time to time.
Soon the carriage came to the black stone monument.
The stone monument is built on a small circular white square, and the ground is a smooth stone surface, which is gray-white. Vehicles and trucks go around the left side of the stone monument, while the outgoing traffic goes around the right side.
Angelet was riding on the horse with his head tilted sideways, looking at the black stone tablet beside him.
The stone tablet looks like it is made of crystal. Its surface is as smooth as a mirror, and it is rectangular with four sides. It is constantly emitting circles of transparent ripples.
Withdrawing his gaze, Angele looked forward.
The surrounding squares are built in the grooves of the snow-capped mountains. They are surrounded by gray-white stone walls on all sides and on the ground. Behind the stone monument is the entrance to a canyon.
As people walked in, the roar of water suddenly reached my ears.
What came into Angele's field of vision was a huge cup-shaped canyon. Directly in front, two white streams of water fell vertically, looking like two pieces of white cloth from a distance. The roar of the water flow came from there.
The canyon is surrounded by a gray-black landscape on all sides, and the steep stone walls are dotted with dense, protruding, sharp-mouthed stone cliffs.
The protruding parts of these gray-black stone cliffs are built with somewhat old gray-black stone houses. When viewed from a distance, the stone houses have a slightly green surface and are covered with vines and moss.
On the stone wall on the right, a zigzag gray-white mountain road zigzags upward along the mountain wall. The flow of cars and people flows along the mountain road, forming a gray line that flows slowly up and down.
"Let's go." Xi Lan got out of the carriage and led the two horses forward.
Angelet also noticed that the ground in the canyon was somewhat uneven, which was not suitable for quickly dragging the carriage. He also turned over and dismounted, holding the horse's rope and followed him inside.
The entrance is very wide, with enough space for five or six carriages to squeeze in.
"This is the entrance canyon of Nora. There is an ordinary resource exchange, which is full of daily necessities such as flour, meat, fruits, etc. You can find food, clothing, housing and transportation here. It is a place specially used for supplies."
Sina got out of the carriage and followed Angele.
"The main traffic point in Nora is the exchange. Many families have their base around the exchange. The exchange is a resource exchange point established by major organizations. All resource exchanges must be carried out at the exchange. And this is a public exchange.
, does not belong to any organization." Asuna introduced Angelet.
"So how many exchanges does Nora have?" Angelet asked.
"There are five in total, large and small. One for each of the three major organizations, as a point for exchanging their unique resources with the outside world, while other organizations have joined forces to build one as an exchange point. Together with this public exchange, there are a total of five
One." Asuna pointed at the protruding cliffs of the canyon.
"Did you see the stone house up there? That's a trading point for different resources. There are many trading points in each exchange, and different types of resources are traded in different trading points. And they all have strong force as a security and
A guarantee of justice.”
"Public exchanges are jointly maintained by all organizations, while other exchanges can only maintain security by responsible organizations forming escort teams. Without strength, it is naturally impossible to maintain an exchange. Buying and selling by force, overtly and covertly, for wizards
For us, it doesn't take much effort, and some small means can achieve the goal." Asuna shrugged.
"That's true." Angele himself knew that there were more than ten hallucinogenic methods that could perfectly disguise a fair transaction. "So are there any magic materials or anything like that here?"
"The public exchange only exchanges daily necessities. You can't buy the materials needed to cast spells here, but you can find most of them here such as clothes and food. Of course they are all ordinary, not enchanted items."
A group of people mixed in with the crowd and went up the mountain road on the right.
The moist warm wind is constantly swirling in the canyon. Even though it is freezing cold in the snowy mountains outside, it seems unusually warm here.
Angelet led the horse and moved up slowly.
To the left and ahead, on a stone cliff, outside a gray-black stone house, some cattle carts were parked there. More than a dozen strong men were laboriously unloading the goods. Two supervisors were shouting loudly.
The sound of the small waterfall was covered up and could not be heard clearly.
Asuna noticed his gaze.
"That's a trading point for legumes, including red beans, black beans, and mainly sea pod beans from the Sea Clan." Asuna said with a smile, "The food here is mainly sent in by the Sea Clan."
"Sea Clan?" Angelet was slightly startled.
"Yes. Pay attention to the faces of those who are moving the goods." Asuna whispered.
Angelet nodded and looked carefully at the men moving the goods.
