Manuel, the former Prime Minister, sighed and thought to himself, what is supposed to come has come, and the opening of the Secret Magic Market means that he is destined to not be in peace.
Slowly stepping out of the carriage, Manuel led a group of imperial cavalry towards the scene of the trouble. His face was very ugly. Although this was expected, he still felt that it was troublesome.
"What's going on? Who can tell me?" Manuel separated from the crowd and asked coldly.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are here. Our business is doing well. Who would have thought that someone would cause trouble for no reason." The dark elf girl said with a smile.
"Shameless! It was you who broke the rules first. Is it allowed in Aogu City to use your beauty to attract customers?" Hearing this, the pure-blood elf sharply accused him again.
"Huh? You didn't say you didn't allow it. Sister, you are ugly, so you can't take your anger out on your sister." The dark elf laughed, making many people look straight in their eyes.
Manuel gradually understood the whole story while talking to each other. It turned out that the dark elves were selling jewelry that they were proud of.
And the "shelves" displaying these are beautiful girls. Although there are many people buying them, more people come to feast their eyes on them.
The pure-blood elves sell rare perfumes produced in the Shimmering Forest. They are famous for their elegance, so naturally they will never fall into the cliché when selling things.
But the problem is that the two parties accidentally bought the shop across the street. The dark elves felt that the other party was very hypocritical, while the pure-blood elves thought that the other party was discrediting the elves.
As the chief steward of Augu City, Manuel naturally had a deep understanding of the feud between the two parties. But he did not expect that it would break out in one day.
He frowned and kept thinking about how to adjust. Because both parties are aliens, if one fails, it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the entire ethnic group and even trigger a war.
"First of all, this is neither a shimmering forest nor a whispering forest. Although the visitors are guests, guests must also abide by the rules." A voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd.
"Secondly, many hatreds are from the past thousands of years ago. It is also fate to be arranged by the gods to be neighbors." The man slowly walked to the center of the venue.
"Finally, both of you are beautiful women. Whichever one is injured in the duel will be the loss of all the men in Aogu City." As soon as these words were spoken, the tense atmosphere was instantly wiped away.
Everyone present bowed and saluted, and the person who came was none other than King Fernando of Ogu. As for the elves, both sides, although they did not follow human etiquette, they also expressed due respect.
"It turns out that the King of Humanity is here in person. You are a very mysterious and powerful person in the hearts of us dark elves." The dark elf girl kept smiling and even wanted to come forward.
"You are exaggerating. If I hadn't gotten married, I might have been eaten by a little girl like you today." Fernando took a step back without leaving a trace, neither being rude nor embarrassing himself.
"Great King Ogu, we pure-blood elves have lost face today. We will evacuate the secret magic market and never disturb you." The pure-blood elves said again.
Fernando was stunned, and Manuel was even more confused by the other party's decision. The stubbornness of pure-blood elves is as famous as their elegance.
"No, no, no, I think these perfumes are very special. I believe they will become popular in the royal city and even the whole world." Fernando smiled and took a small bottle of emerald green liquid.
Open the cork, shake it slowly, and instantly a mixed scent of flowers and new wood will fill the air.
"But if I say so, this substance should be sprayed on the most dazzling beauties, such as nobles wearing exquisite jewelry." Fernando took another crystal necklace, which reflected countless gorgeous ribbons in the sun.<

Not long after, the dark elves took the lead in returning to their own shop, putting away those suggestive expressions. The pure-blood elves also became busy, and people rushed to buy bottles of perfume.
"Let's go, my Lord Prime Minister, let's go to the Lion Bar for a drink." Fernando turned and left, and Manuel hurriedly followed after hearing this.
The Lion Bar is closed during the day, but this rule cannot restrict King Ogu and the Whip of the Empire. The owner, Achilles, brought out the best wine and then walked out of the bar door very wisely.
The two of them were drinking and thinking about their own concerns. No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere seemed a bit strange.
Fernando is in a good mood now because the excitement of the Secret Magic Market has greatly exceeded expectations. Manuel is in a bad mood now because he failed to solve the problem independently today.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to set up such an arcane bazaar to increase imperial tax revenue?" Manuel turned around and asked.
"Then tell me my real intention." Fernando laughed and replied with great interest.
"I feel that you want to increase the contact with the major foreign races. This will not only benefit the future development of Aogu City, but also get rid of the control of other principalities." Manuel replied with some uncertainty.
Fernando was still smiling, but he was a little shocked in his heart. Because it took a long time for even Yuri to discover these things.
I didn’t expect that I, the former Prime Minister, would guess most of my true thoughts in just half a day.
"If I were a narrow-minded emperor, I would never keep a smart person like you by my side." Fernando said with a smile.
"But you are not that kind of person, otherwise, after the Holy War, I will not let the old minister live." Manuel was stunned when he heard this, but his face was bitter.
"There are two reasons why I value the Secret Art Fair. The first is just like what you said. As for the second point..." Fernando started talking.
It turns out that King Aogu planned to take advantage of the opportunity of establishing the secret magic bazaar to integrate the major foreign races and principalities into Aogu City. Because instead of being on guard every day, it is better to open the city gates openly, and maybe you will receive unexpected surprises.<
/p>
Fernando always believes that no matter human beings or a clan, everyone is a creature blessed by the gods. Since we live together under the same blue sky, there is no reason to always be in opposition.
The way to get to know each other deeply is very simple. Everyone gathers in the Secret Art Market and stays there for three to five years. It is estimated that no matter how big the hatred is, it will be reduced a lot or even disappear.
"Your Highness, please accept my most sincere respect. You are the well-deserved King of Ogu and the wisest incarnation." Manuel stood up and saluted, and was completely impressed by the other person's words.
"Prime Minister, please sit down. Whether this matter can succeed depends on your daily management. The Secret Art Market is a tricky place." Fernando took a sip of wine and said.
"By the way, since you're so moved, you'll have to pay for today's drink. I'll leave first." Fernando stood up and left, but Manuel still lowered his head.
The last bit of grudge in his heart disappeared. King Ogu said very clearly that the success or failure of the Secret Magic Fair is related to the relationship between all major races. Who can let go of such a good opportunity to make achievements?
