In a splendid bedroom, a middle-aged man wearing a gold silk nightgown sat quietly on the edge of the bed, staring at a letter in his hand and frowning in thought. The letter contained only a few simple words and no words.
It's encrypted and the handwriting is very illegible.
This bedroom is spacious and bright, much larger than the living room of an ordinary villa. The main decoration material of the entire bedroom is actually pure gold. There are countless complicated and deep line textures on the gold, and various colorful decorations are placed at the links between the geometric figures.
Gemstones, with some faint crystal light flowing from time to time.
Obviously this kind of decoration is not just for good looks. Although gold is a relatively common magic material for magicians, it is only for using gold thread to trace magic circles on arcane stone or magic parchment.
Use pure gold instead of arcane stones as the base of the magic circle. Apart from the top leaders of the Magic Council of each country, there are only those archmages...
Gold has excellent magical energy-conducting properties. Compared with those rare and abnormal magical energy superconducting materials, it is relatively common and common. Therefore, some very large magic arrays are often paved with gold. This is also the main reason why gold coins are used as currency.
It is an indispensable thing in magical civilization.
The plane teleportation array engraved on the Pillar of the Void requires hundreds or even thousands of tons of pure gold to be poured into the base alone. The gold content of a quicksand gold crown is about 5 grams. This gold can cast more than 200 million imperial coins.
Gold coins. And this only accounts for less than one-fifth of the cost of materials in the plane teleportation facility.
, so the high price of plane teleportation is not affordable by ordinary people. Only by learning the universal legendary magic - World Gate can you save this money. However, since World Gate cannot be engraved in the soul, some wealthy legendary casters
In a hurry, I will still choose the teleportation network of Pillar of the Void.
A knock on the door interrupted the middle-aged man's contemplation. He frowned, and the letter in his hand was blown to dust by a gust of wind. "Come in, Sergey." As soon as he finished speaking, the geometric shapes on the gold frame of the bedroom door
The lines flashed at the same time, and the door automatically moved back.
Sergey walked in cautiously. Although he had just become a ninth-level high-level mage, he was even more frightened when he entered his boss's bedroom. As his mental power increased, he felt more deeply than ever before.
To the danger of those gold decorations around.
Regarding his boss, Sergey only knew that he was from the United Andean Emirates, south of the United Commercial Republic. As for which tribe Sergey was not clear about.
The land area of the Andes is more than twice that of the United States. It is located near the middle line between the north and the south of the Pancontinent. There are swamps all over the country. Not to mention cities, even slightly larger villages need magic to solidify their foundations, so most of that place has
It is a village where tribes gather. It can be said to be the most backward country in the Pancontinent. However, due to long-term coexistence with dangerous and powerful swamp creatures, blood people are quite common among the Andes, and many of them have strange abilities that are very adaptable to the harsh environment full of poisonous miasma.
environment.
Because the Andes is rich in some rare monster resources, although the magical civilization is backward, it is not poor. The villages can earn a huge income just by hunting and domesticating swamp creatures every year.
In fact, the Andes can be richer. Unfortunately, it is adjacent to the east of the most powerful country in the high plane of Anfalon - the Amarr Golden Empire. That country even fought several plane wars with the Roy Elemental Empire. In
Under the half-coercive and half-threatening monopoly of Golden Emma, most of the Andean Warcraft resources flowed into Emma at low prices.
Until decades ago, a young man from the United Emirates of the Andes visited the Ziero Chamber of Commerce and brought samples of various Andean specialties. The Chamber of Commerce was very cautious about it at first, and the influence of Golden Emma in Anfalon
It was too big, and Ziero did not dare to face the diplomatic pressure of that ancient empire.
After quietly reaching a small smuggling deal, Ziero discovered that the goods circulating in their hands did not affect the annual transaction volume of Andes and Aima. The Chamber of Commerce was keenly aware that the young man might have his own unique source of goods.
The Andean chiefs may not have known where these goods came from...
Since then, the specialties of the swamp have been circulated outside of Amarr for the first time, appearing in the black market through various hidden channels. Amarr has no power to interfere with the underground transactions of other countries. As long as it does not affect the import of resources from the Andes, that is fine.
I don’t want to delve into it any further.
Although the person who facilitated these high-value smuggling transactions was not made public, Sergey knew full well that he was his boss, Orikom.
With these smuggled goods that slipped out from under Emma's nose, Orikom became one of the major shareholders of the Ziero Chamber of Commerce. Sergei worked with his boss since he had just become a formal mage, and won Orikom's favor.
Trust, and with the support of his boss's massive resources, he was able to advance to level nine.
"Boss, is there anything worth delaying your lunch break to tell me in person?" Sergey saluted respectfully. Decades later, he has become a bit older. Orikum has also changed from a teenager to a
He is a stable and mature man, but his title as boss has not changed since the first day he followed him.
"Sergei, you are already considered a high-ranking member of the United States Magic Council." Orikum said, looking at his loyal subordinate.
"Yes, after becoming a ninth-level mage, I have been able to access many of the council's high-level secrets." Sergey said with emotion. When his boss put him on the council, he didn't expect him to develop much. Until now.
At this point, in addition to the cultivation of the boss, there is also the unremitting efforts of oneself.
Orikum nodded and said slowly: "Do you know why I spent a lot of money to decorate the bedroom like this?"
Before his subordinate could answer, he continued: "Because I lack a sense of security. Otherwise, I can't sleep..."
Sergey sighed sadly. He could guess that his boss must have experienced some unforgettable fears when he was a child. In the past, Orikum woke up hastily from his dreams more than once. Until he was rich enough to decorate such a bedroom, he
sleep became more peaceful.
"If you can handle this matter well, then I will definitely be able to sleep more peacefully." Orikum said with a smile.
"Within the next week, a group of people will be teleported from the United Andes to the Principality of Bolati. During this period, they must pass through the Banjara Teleportation Array. If there is a young girl among them, there will be a purple mark on her forehead that cannot be concealed.
diamond mark, you put the coordinates
Change it to this." As he spoke, he picked up the pen and paper on the bedside table, quickly wrote a coordinate and handed it to Sergey. "This is the coordinate of a temporary teleportation array, which can only be used once. Will space fluctuations and fixed teleportation arrays affect the situation?
It's the same, if they notice it, just stop them."
Sergey took it and felt that the thin piece of paper was a bit heavy. "How to explain to the Chamber of Commerce and the Magic Council?" The serious consequences of doing so would be enough to cost him his life.
"There is no need to explain. Regardless of success or failure, you must leave the Magic Council immediately. I will explain to the Chamber of Commerce." Orikum waved his hand lazily.
After Sergei memorized the coordinates, he immediately burned the piece of paper. He bowed respectfully and was about to leave. Orikum said behind him: "But I can't always protect you, Sergey. In the end, you
You still have to rely on your own strength. After you finish this, I will support you to study at the Pillar of the Void."
"Thank you for your generosity..." Sergey turned his head and saluted again, and the corners of his eyes were even a little moist. The cost of training for the Pillar of the Void is extremely high, even for the rich, it is a huge sum of money.
Meeting such a boss has been the greatest luck in his life.
The carriage climbed on the crowded main road for a long time, and Heras finally saw the buildings of the United States Magic Council Headquarters. Compared with the solemn and mysterious headquarters of the Quicksand Magic Council, it was like a building of randomly stacked abstract art.
It's unique, weird and novel. None of the tall towers with spires is upright, and the lines and corners of the buildings are all bent at will.
, the exterior walls also undulate like waves. Even the window sills are made of twisted glass and frames. The person in charge of each tower built the building into what he thought was the most fashionable look. One tall tower even lay end to end.
On the ground... Judging from the crowds coming and going inside, it was not that it collapsed, but that it was deliberately built like this.
"Only in the United States can such a thing appear... If any country's council dares to play like this, it would be considered a light thing to dismiss the president on the same day..." Herath looked at those who looked like
The buildings were distorted by time and space, and my eyelids couldn't help but tremble a few times.
The Magic Council of the United States is undoubtedly the most autonomous among all countries. In a loose and chaotic country, as long as it does not hinder other people's financial paths, no one cares what they do.
After getting up and leaving the carriage, Heras threw a gold coin to the coachman and was about to leave. The coachman shouted from behind: "Sir, one gold coin is not enough... You also need thirteen silver coins!"
When Sally heard this, her eyes immediately widened. "This is a gold coin!" she shouted to the coachman.
"This is Bangala...the beautiful elf lady." The coachman spread his hands innocently.
Heras was also a little surprised. It seemed that the price level in this city was far higher than he expected. But it is understandable if you think about it. Rich people are everywhere here, and not many of them are willing to endure the crowds. Demand determines
market.......
After throwing another gold coin to the coachman, Heras walked up the steps of the Magic Council. After a while, he found that Sally had gone somewhere, and the dense flow of people around blocked his sight. He stood there
After watching for a while, Heras wanted to leave on his own. Anyway, he brought her to Bangala. There are plenty of regular pubs here for her to play... Survival should not be a problem.
Just when he wanted the female elf to fend for herself, he saw Sally squeeze out from the crowd, trot up to him, holding a pile of silver coins in both hands and said: "If you don't want it, just give it to me, don't waste it! Sometimes I
You have to deal with several customers to earn this little money..." Then she treasured the money and stuffed it into her arms.
