There are not many ways to get to the Demon Realm. The fastest one is probably to use the teleportation array from Bangal City to the Demon Realm.
Amos is not in a very good condition right now. Even though Qiao Nan knows that this may not be the Amos he knows, he is still worried to death and wants to go to the Demon Realm to see him as soon as possible.
He hung all the unnecessary things in the trading house, and then saw the auction items of Bangal City Auction House today in the trading house.
Except for the last few grand auctions, which do not have pictures, the others are all described in detail.
Qiao Nan saw the branches of the Elf Mother Tree in the booklet.
Dry version.
The branches of the Elf Mother Tree are good things. Not only are they good materials for making potions, but they are also extremely rare and excellent casting materials. Even if they are eaten raw, they can cure diseases. If you put them out there, they are hard to find. They are valuable but not marketable.
thing.
But the dry branches of the Elf Mother Tree have no function, and they only have the meaning of being beautiful.
But Qiao Nan is different. He has items that can restore life to the branches of the mother tree.
Before entering the auction house, Qiao Nan put on new clothes and wore a mask.
There were still bounties on those bandits. After Qiao Nan handed in the mission, he actually still had experience. He pushed the level 43 magic power forward again and was stuck on the edge of level 44. He only needed to complete two more main tasks.
Can break through level 44.
Qiao Nan smiled with satisfaction and signed his name on the task receipt.
Joe.
He uses the text in the game, a beautiful language similar to English.
Qiao Nan drew out the last stroke, and when he lifted the pen at the end, he habitually lifted it up.
The staff collected the receipt slip and put it aside, waiting for a while to hand it to the supervisor, then sent it to the acting city lord's desk, and then handed the bounty to the other party before letting him leave.
Satisfied, Qiao Nan took his equipment and went to a dome building behind the Municipal Square.
Bangal Auction House.
He wants to sell these two purple weapons, which can be used by game players and NPCs. However, compared to the players who search for them, Qiao Nan still wants to make a fortune from NPCs.
After all, the natives are the richest.
The power behind the auction that can be held in the main city is not small, and the background of the Bangal Auction that Qiao Nan came to is the city lord of Bangal City.
Even in the later stages, purple-level weapons are quite valuable. Not everyone can own orange and gold equipment. Purple equipment with good attributes is the weapon often used by advanced players, while most ordinary people still use green weapons and equipment.
Blue weapons.
Qiao Nan was not short of money, but he didn't resist making his wallet fatter, and he also wanted to see if there were any materials he needed here.
You can never have too much precious material.
Qiao Nan put on the mask and changed into new clothes. It looked like clothes that only nobles could afford. The waiter did not dare to neglect and took the people to the front row.
Usually there are not many people in the auction house, and it is better if more than half of them can be seated. But now because of the hunting season, the auction has become more lively. Qiao Nan came in the evening, just in time to catch up with the evening auction.
Not long after I came in, all the other seats were filled with people. Judging by their appearance, they were all wealthy people. They probably wanted to pick something up at the auction or something.
The auction started soon. At the beginning, it was just ordinary small pendants and the like, and the prices were not high. Qiao Nan was not interested in them.
The auction house is like this. First, a relatively precious item is used to heat up the atmosphere, and then some less valuable items are brought in. The useful ones are all later.
Qiao Nan watched boredly. He would only take action when materials he liked more appeared, and he would give up if the price was too high.
Time passed bit by bit, and as time passed, more than a dozen auction items were auctioned, and finally it was in the middle and late stages of the auction.
The branch of the Elf Mother Tree that Qiao Nan was waiting for was finally pushed out. When the people present saw that it was a withered branch of the Elf Mother Tree, they immediately gave up on bidding, and Qiao Nan successfully took the photo at a low price.
Then there are Qiao Nan's weapons.
A water-based wand and a dagger.
The starting price was 100,000, and the auction prices were 730,000 and 620,000 respectively. Qiao Nan only paid 5,000 gold coins for the branch.
There is no loss in blood.
Satisfied, Qiao Nan went backstage to collect the things she bought and the money she earned.
Qiao Nan didn't waste any more time and left his seat directly. The person sitting next to Qiao Nan made way for him.
The auction wasn't over yet, and the backstage was deserted, with only staff walking back and forth.
The staff was very efficient. They took Qiao Nan's sign and started to handle the procedures for Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan took advantage of the staff to collect the money and confirm it, and looked around in boredom at the backstage.
Against the wall was a half-person-high cage, covered with red velvet. There was heavy breathing inside, and it looked like it must be some kind of cherished magical beast.
"Just when Qiao Nan was guessing what was in the cage, the staff had already finished processing and handed the money and wooden box to Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan opened the two boxes and made sure that the contents inside were correct before he walked away.
Several strong men ran from the front to push the cage away.
"Give him another injection. The effects of the previous injection should have worn off." One of them said, "This is high-end stuff. It would be bad if he goes crazy."
A high-level monster?
That's really dangerous.
If you accidentally go crazy and hurt someone after taking it back, that would be no small matter.
Before leaving, Qiao Nan looked back curiously, wanting to see what kind of monster it was.
The red cloth covering the cage was lifted, revealing the creature in the iron cage.
From this angle, Qiao Nan could only see a patch of white flowers, long silver hair pouring down like moonlight, and only a small section of pointed ears could be seen from hiding.
Qiao Nan moved his legs back again.
Demons, orcs... or elves?
They don't dare to capture the demons, so there are only orcs and elves. Humans have always looked down on the orcs, so the biggest possibility is...
Elf?
"What's this?"
Seeing that Qiao Nan was very curious, the staff patiently explained: "This is a male elf we captured before. It is level 53. If necessary, we can destroy his cultivation here.
To prevent injury to buyers.”
Seeing Qiao Nan's interest, the staff persuaded her, "If you are interested, you can come back to the venue to bid. The starting price is only one hundred thousand gold coins."
Qiao Nan's face was ugly. If it weren't for the mask, the staff would probably be able to see his extremely gloomy expression.
He didn't expect that the final auction item would be an elf!
The elves cannot escape the world and like to stay in the giant forest in the south of the continent.
The Giant Tree Forest occupies a vast area and is rich in resources. It is close to the south and has a warm climate. The Elf Mother Tree grows here and gave birth to the Elf clan.
The elves were asexually conceived by the Elf Mother Tree. Everyone's talents are extremely strong, and their appearance is also rare and stunning in the world. Coupled with the abundant resources, the elves have become a target of public criticism, and many people even want to sell them.
Elf.
Those aristocratic gentlemen love these beautiful children the most.
Qiao Nan has also studied the Elf clan, so he naturally knows how dangerous the Elf clan's situation is.
Although the elves are powerful, they stay in the clan all year round and have simple minds. They easily listen to other people's lies, and many of them are deceived and sold.
Qiao Nan had spent a lot of effort to educate them not to trust others, and even made a show about it, scaring the tribesmen so much that they no longer dared to move, and that was the end.
Even though Qiao Nan understood that everything he had done after the world restarted was useless, Qiao Nan still couldn't help but be angry.
Why can't you protect yourself properly?
Qiao Nan didn't want to go into details. If he hadn't discovered it, how would the elf be tortured?
It will definitely be painful.
It doesn't matter if I didn't see it and couldn't save the person. If I saw it today, I couldn't let them buy the person away.
Qiao Nan nodded, took the number plate again and returned to his previous position.
The elf auction has begun.
The elf was released from the cage by the auctioneer. It had a thin gold chain tied around its neck and was connected to a buckle on the ground. It was only wearing a white gauze robe.
Perhaps because it had just been injected with a medicine, the elf was in a very bad condition. He was kneeling softly on the ground, and all he could see was that his huddled body was trembling slightly.
Qiao Nan couldn't see the elf's face.
Qiao Nan was angry and felt sorry for this elf at the same time. He knew all the elves in the elves, but he just didn't know which ignorant elf this was.
The base price of 100,000 gold coins has now been called 560,000.
And depending on how popular the scene is, it is estimated that it will continue to increase.
Qiao Nan didn't move at first, but waited for fewer and fewer people to bid, then sat up straight and waited for the opportunity.
"First time for 680,000 gold coins!" Seeing that there were no more bids, the auctioneer began to count down.
"Six hundred and eighty thousand gold coins for the second time!"
The wealthy businessman who paid 680,000 gold coins had a look of pain and excitement on his face.
680,000 was indeed a bit expensive, but when he thought that he could buy a rare elf for 680,000, he felt that 680,000 was not so expensive.
You know, the opportunity to connect with the city lord cannot be bought with 680,000 yuan!
"One million." Qiao Nan only spoke when the auctioneer was about to say it for the third time.
The wealthy businessman's smile froze on his face.
"First time in a million dollars! Does anyone want to increase the bid?" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.
The wealthy businessman was so angry that the flesh on his face was shaking. He stood up suddenly and said, "Who dares to steal something from me!"
"I like it, so I want it, what does it have to do with you?" Qiao Nan was not afraid, but laughed contemptuously, "The auction house is where anyone with money can buy it, what, you want to break the rules of the auction house?
"
The rich businessman was so angry that the flesh on his face was shaking, and he pointed his trembling fingers at Qiao Nan, "Do you want money? Okay, let me see if you have the money to fight with me."
"This gentleman." The girl sitting next to Qiao Nan couldn't help but say, "He is the patriarch of the Hollas family. You can't compare with him."
Qiao Nan blinked and smiled at her, "Thank you for your concern, but no need."
Seeing that Qiao Nan didn't listen, the woman rolled her eyes.
If he doesn't listen to others' advice, he will be punished when he leaves the auction house.
"Our husband is the head of the Hollas family. I advise you not to rob us. Otherwise, you will have a good time."
Qiao Nan sneered, but leaned back, "I have never thought about quitting, and I am willing to cooperate at any time. Of course, I hope you will not regret your decision today."
----------------------------------------
In the lounge of the Lord of Bangal City, an elegant man with long white hair is sitting at the table. There are many piles of parchment on his right hand, which are today's affairs of Bangal City.
The carved wooden door of the main room of the city was wide open, and the open windows and doors let in the cool breeze, sweeping away the heat in the room.
"Mr. Noel." A middle-aged man in a black suit knocked on the door holding a stack of documents and reminded the young man, "The bandit group outside the city was solved and the bounty was just collected. Here are today's documents. Please
You take a look."
"Oh?" The man raised his head, revealing an elegant and handsome face. He also wore a pair of single-sided round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. His eyes were narrow and long, and his hair was neatly combed back, without even a trace of broken hair.
He was wearing a white stand-up collared robe with gold trim. He was neat and spotless from head to toe. His clothes had also been ironed. There were no other creases except for the necessary folds when sitting down. The stand-up collar shirt was neatly pressed against his neck.
Only a small section of his neck and face were exposed, and even when correcting documents, he wore a pair of snow-white gloves on his hands.
"Who is it?"
"It's a swordsman named 'Qiao'."
When he heard the name Qiao, the hand of the man named Noel who was correcting the document paused. The ink left an ugly black spot on the parchment due to this momentary pause, and his gloves were accidentally stained with black stains.
Stains.
Noel frowned, put down his quill, took off his gloves and threw them into the trash can. He then took new gloves from the storage ring and put them on. Then he continued to ask, "Has your identity background been checked?"
"It's the people from Malden town who came here with the adventurers."
"There have been a lot more adventurers recently." Noel pondered, "Do you have a portrait of him?"
"No." The middle-aged man shook his head, "But it should be good to be able to deal with Jia Tu and the others."
Jia Tu and the others have been wandering around outside the city and wreaking havoc for a long time. The city lord's palace has never been able to find time to deal with them, so they can only be put on the wanted list.
It would be best if there are adventurers willing to take action. If not, they will deal with these bandits after the hunting season ends.
The previous city lord didn't care about this and only cared about eating, drinking and enjoying himself. Now there is a new acting city lord. He originally planned to deal with them in the next few days, but he didn't expect that an adventurer would do it for them.
The supervisor came here just to inform this senior official from the imperial capital of the matter. After the report, he placed the document on the table in front of him, then bowed and left. When he left, he reached out and closed the door to give Noel a clean slate.
space.
Now everyone in the city lord's palace is busy. The previous lord of Bangal City died during the hunting season not long ago, and the main city cannot be left without someone to take care of things. Therefore, the imperial capital sent Mr. Noel here to temporarily manage Bangal City.
Mr. Noel, who came from the imperial capital, is very individual, very strong, and has good business skills. He quickly reorganized Bangal City in the few days he came here.
The requirements for hygiene and symmetry have reached a terrifying level, which is really unbearable.
Norman looked at the document with a black dot irritably. After holding back for a long time, he quickly scanned the document, signed it and put it aside.
After doing all this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Coming here was his own choice.
The Imperial Capital was too depressing, and staying in that residence full of traces of his teacher would only make it impossible for him to escape from the past.
Instead of dwelling on the past, it's better to change the environment.
So Norman changed his face and name, and came to the remote city of Bangal.
Norman rubbed his eyebrows, then closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair to let his sore brain take a rest.
These tasks shouldn't have made him so tired, he just found it boring to deceive himself and others like this.
Although he knew that such hopeless waiting would be fruitless, he still held on to a trace of luck, thinking that maybe the teacher would be reincarnated and appear in front of him again.
He has learned the knowledge given to him by his teacher and has become the greatest outstanding magician in the human race besides his teacher. He can confidently say that he is the most knowledgeable person on this continent besides his teacher.
But what can happen? Even the most knowledgeable people cannot resurrect the teacher. They can only look for the subtle hope day after day.
Norman just took a short rest and then started working again. Maybe he was thinking about something. After finishing all the work on the table, he put his eyes on the parchment brought by the middle-aged man.
Called Joe...?
Norman spread out the brown paper. On it was the most common mission report, as well as the final information about the person who completed the mission.
And the one at the bottom is the signature of the person who completed the task.
Norman's originally calm gaze was suddenly shocked when he saw that name.
There are many people named Joe in this world. In the more than a hundred years he has lived, he has seen countless guys named Joe, including men and women, old and young, but none of them are his teachers. But when Norman saw
This man's handwriting is extremely sure.
When the teacher writes, he always likes to slightly mention the word at the end of each sentence, and the font he writes in is also what he calls a cursive font.
When the teacher first wrote this type of font, it led to a trend across the continent. Anyone with some capital would use cursive fonts to write letters and documents.
But Norman just found the teacher's handwriting among the countless cursive characters.
This is the handwriting of my teacher who has been dead for many years!
Norman had imagined countless times that his teacher could come back to life, but now that he had really come back to life, he felt unbelievable.
