But the most important thing now is to go to the trade fair first and buy some manpower. Just hiring people is not enough. Those who can be auctioned here should basically be people with a certain degree of resistance.
In Nola, there is no charge for the forest land outside. As long as it does not cause large-scale conflicts, no one will care how much space and area you occupy.
The most worthless thing in this world is land.
Angelet can definitely expand his territory.
Establishing a botanical garden and establishing resource points are all plans he has long wanted to have. He can also cultivate some needed plants or species. However, the specific operations are still a bit inconvenient in Nola. The botanical garden is no problem, but he
Resource points still cannot be established in places where wizards are too densely populated. It’s just that Nora is either a public area or the territory of the three major organizations and a lot of small organizations. It is basically difficult to find the rest of the completely blank places. Resource points can only be dealt with later.
Say it again.
*********************
Seven days later.
At noon, the dazzling sun is faintly surrounded by a colorful halo.
In front of the white-painted red-roofed villa by the small lake, a gray-white carriage parked quietly outside the fence. The driver was a short fire elf. He was covered in short gray-black hair, his face was wrinkled, and he was holding a hand.
A black riding crop.
The side door of the carriage was open, and an old man wearing a green robe could be seen sitting inside.
The dazzling golden sunlight and the dark interior of the carriage are completely different worlds. They accentuate the shadows in the carriage.
The old man looked sideways at the villa, as if he had been waiting for a while and showed no sign of impatience.
Click.
There was a sound of closing the door of the villa. A brown-haired man wearing a white tunic walked out of the garden with a calm expression.
The white robe he wears is the most popular style at the moment. A white belt ties his waist, which is a bit like a skirt worn by women. He also wears black trousers under the robe.
"Green, get in the car." The old man in green robe said with a smile, "You have only arrived here not long ago. The slave auction here is one of the best in Nora. It will probably take us two days to get there from here."
Angelet smiled and put his hands in the two pockets of his robe, which felt a bit like a windbreaker on Earth.
"Walk from the ground?" He glanced at the carriage in front of him. There was a faint energy fluctuation on the carriage.
"Of course. You can't go to the sky." Siwa smiled mysteriously, "That place is not easy to find. This is a special carriage for the auction. Anyone who goes there once will be eligible to get one for free.
"
"oh?"
Angelet was slightly surprised, "One for each person?"
"certainly."
"What a great gesture." Angelet bent down and got into the car.
Nancy stood outside, looking at him expectantly, and seemed to want to go.
Angelet glanced at the interior of the car. It seemed quite big. "Do you mind if I bring someone else with me?"
Siwa glanced at Nancy and smiled.
"Of course. Young people are still full of energy." He meant it.
Angelet didn't care, but Nancy blushed all of a sudden.
Angele stretched out his hand, took the hand Nancy handed over, and pulled it gently.
"Ah!" Nancy was suddenly pulled into Angelet's arms, and her whole body was directly hugged by one of his arms.
"Okay? Then we should go." Siwa looked at Angelet's actions, shook his head and said.
"This is my first time attending a slave trade fair. Are there any rules?" Angele put his arm around Nancy, looking sideways at the small lake outside the car window and started to back up.
The fire elf in the carriage also whipped up his whip and shouted. The four horses' hooves of the two horses stepped briskly on the grass, making a slightly dull sound.
"Rules? You must pay a deposit, which is about the size of a high-quality magic stone. After the trade fair is over, you can return it with a voucher. There are no other rules." Siwa took out a piece of yellow parchment from behind the cushion and handed it to An.
Gree.
Angelet took it and glanced at it casually. The information on all the auction items was written on it. He browsed it for a while and then gave it to Nancy to read.
"As for the issue of the academy you mentioned last time Siwa, when will you take me to see your academy?"
"This can be done at any time." Siwa nodded and said, "The name of my college is Cross Cross. Although there are not many people..."
Angelet interrupted him and laughed: "Why are there not many people? Including you, there are less than twenty people in total."
"You know it clearly." Siwa chuckled twice. "But the people in our academy are all elites."
Angele was speechless and casually changed the topic to chat with Siwa about optimizing the spell model.
Nancy leaned in Angele's arms, looked at the auction list for a while, and then fell asleep leaning against Angele unknowingly.
Outside the carriage window.
The originally bright sunshine gradually became darker. The chirping of birds outside also gradually disappeared.
I don't know how long they chatted. Angelet suddenly raised his head and found that it was completely dark outside the window, and the only light source was the forward-facing lighting crystal on the inner wall of the carriage.
The white lighting crystals are all inlaid with small crystals, and the number is not large, so the light seems a bit dim.
"Where are we?" Angelet looked out of the car window. What he saw quickly receding outside the window was a black and somewhat wet stone wall.
The stone wall is uneven, and you can faintly see the light reflecting from the carriage on the stone wall.
"If you want to go to the auction, you have to enter through some underground passages that extend in all directions." Siwa said unhurriedly, "The main location of the slave auction will be moved every time, but the carriage will automatically take us where we should go.
It’s local. You don’t have to worry.”
"Really?" Angelet looked at the stone wall outside. The wet stone wall gradually became farther and farther away. The passage seemed to become wider.
He opened the carriage with a clatter. It was pitch black outside. The lights of the carriage shone out and fell on the ground, making it appear extremely bright.
"It's really mysterious." Angelet frowned. "But in this case, how can the auction ensure the safety of buyers?"
"The auction is very safe. The slave auction is the result of compromise and negotiation between all forces. Everyone will have to deal with prisoners of war, so no one will be idle and care about it," Siwa explained.
The two chatted casually.
As time passed, the carriage traveled in the dark underground cave for an unknown length of time.
Angelet and Sivanance had several meals in the car, and finally, a glimmer of light gradually appeared in front of the dark cave.
Some lighting crystals were gradually hung on both sides of the stone wall. Although the light was dim, it was much better than before.
Gradually, we advanced some distance. Finally, a tall crack in the sky appeared in front of us.
Hu~~
The fire elf drove the carriage to a slow stop. The carriage came to an open space next to a crack in the rocks.
Angelet pulled Nancy and jumped out of the carriage. Suddenly, a damp and cold air hit his face, mixed with a bit of musty smell.
He frowned and looked around. There were unusually wide black stone walls above and below. Looking up, he could only vaguely see a blur of black. On the surrounding stone walls, the light of the lighting crystal became brighter and brighter.
.
"Let's go." Siwa also got off the carriage.
Angelet nodded and followed him into the gap between the sky and the sky. Nancy and the fire elf followed closely behind.
The four of them walked in the gap for a few minutes, then walked directly through it and came to an open space similar to a hall.
A huge brass-colored stone door is quietly embedded in the stone wall in front of it, in the shape of a round arch.
The stone gate occupies most of the area of the stone wall that is more than ten meters high. A small door is opened below. At this time, some people wearing different colors are leading people to walk in. There are two extremely guarded by the small door.
The strong guards were all wearing black heavy armor, holding spears, with dark skin and a white mark on their foreheads.
As soon as Siwa, Angelet and others walked out of the crevice, they heard a high-pitched voice coming from the right.
"Hey~ Isn't this dear Lord Siwa?" The voice was neither male nor female, a bit harsh.
Angelet followed the sound and looked over, only to see a man in a tight-fitting red robe looking at him and the others with a mocking look on his face.
This person said he was a man, but his figure was extremely voluptuous. Except for the fact that he had no breasts, his waist and hip curves were more feminine than those of a woman. His face was delicate and coquettish, his eyes were a dull dark red, narrow and sharp. He had long red shawl hair.
Scattered casually over the shoulders.
He put his hands in his robe and walked slowly towards this direction with four people.
"Siwa, I've been an old friend for hundreds of years, and you don't even say hello to me? How rude."
Siwa snorted coldly: "Nicholas, you old immortal, you are lucky that you didn't die on the Crimson Plateau. Why didn't those dark wizards who wander around all day kill you?"
"You're not dead, how could I die first?" Nicholas glanced at Angelet on the side. "Okay, I'll go in first. It's really unlucky to meet you at the same entrance today."
He turned around and walked toward the door with the others.
"It's really unlucky to meet you. I feel the same way." Siwa stared at Nikolai fiercely like a child.
He turned his head towards Angelet, with an apologetic expression on his face.
"I'm sorry. This person is an old enemy of mine in the academy. He will oppose me no matter what. The relationship goes back hundreds of years."
"It's okay." Angelet smiled. "We'd better go in first."
At the entrance, there were scattered wizards and people walking in. Some were still parking their carriages. Some were chatting and walking with each other. It seemed that the number of people was barely enough.
The four Angeles walked over together, paid a magic stone, received a small wooden sign, and walked in through the door.
After passing through a somewhat dark corridor, only a dozen steps away, I turned a corner and suddenly there was a bright yellow light coming from the front. It was coming from a small open door.
As soon as I walked into the small door, there was a burst of noisy voices.
A venue like a grand theater appeared in front of you. The vaulted golden ceiling was glowing with bright yellow light. There were also circles of arc dividing lines.
The floor is covered with a red carpet with a white circle pattern. Rows of high-backed mahogany chairs are neatly arranged in a fan shape. There are some wizards sitting sparsely on them, and some are walking inside to choose seats.
Most of these wizards are in white robes, and the rest are in red robes, blue robes, and green robes. Only there are no black robes. (To be continued)
