Angel met Vai for the first time in front of the teleportation hall of the Sandworm Market.
Vai was wearing a black hooded robe and stood motionless on the side of the teleportation hall. From a distance, he looked like a black pillar. It wasn't until he noticed Doakes and others approaching that Vai moved to greet them.
.
After walking closer, Vai took off his hood and saluted Doakes and Angel.
Only then did Angel see Vai's face clearly.
He has a head full of green curly hair, dark green eyes, a little freckles on his face, and his eyes and appearance are full of youthfulness.
However, since he has been friends with Doakes for many years, he knows that his age has definitely exceeded the "teenage" category.
After Vai saluted, his eyes would glance at Angel from time to time, as if trying to figure out his identity. As for Kael, Vai simply ignored him. He was just an apprentice, so he didn't pay much attention to him.
Angel didn't say anything, but nodded politely to Vai, and then said to Kael: "It's time to go."
Kael nodded in understanding, walked into the teleportation hall first, and took the initiative to handle the teleportation task.
Although their destination, the Garden Maze, is in the Guman Kingdom next door, the Guman Kingdom has a vast territory, and the ruins of the Garden Maze are in the hinterland of the kingdom. Even if Angel opens the gondola at full strength, it will still take him at least a day and a half to fly.
To about two days.
However, it only takes a few minutes to use the teleportation array to go to the Bilon Tree Garden Market near the Garden Maze Palace. As for the cost, since Kael reimbursed it, Angel was naturally happy and relaxed.
While Kael went to handle business, Angel and others walked into the waiting area in the teleportation hall.
When Angel wasn't paying attention, Vai kept hinting to Doakes with his eyes. The meaning was very clear, which was to introduce Angel's identity.
Angel still has red hair and golden eyes. He is a wizard that Vai has never seen before.
Doakes also received Vai's signal. He also understood what his friend meant. However, he was a little hesitant. Should he introduce him? Or rather, how should he introduce him?
Just when Doakes was hesitant to speak, an obvious sound of breathing came from Vai's abdomen.
Angel turned around and stared straight at Vai's abdomen.
Vai hesitated for a moment, then took out a slate from the belt inside his black robe. There was a nose embedded in the slate, and the sound of heavy breathing came from this nose.
The position where the nose is breathing is exactly in the direction of Angel.
Angel thought for a while, then stepped forward and saluted: "Good afternoon, Your Excellency, the Black Earl."
The nose stopped breathing.
Vai closed his eyes. After a while, Vai said, "My lord said that you smell like Lord Phantom."
Vai's message was actually embellished. In fact, what he heard was: this little guy smells exactly like that damn Sanders, and it is definitely inseparable from Sanders. What a bad luck!
Angel smiled and nodded: "Lord Black Earl is right, Master Illusion is my mentor."
When Angel said this, Vai's mind immediately thought of Sanders's disciples. Flora is a woman, so exclude it; Sumishi is already a true wizard, exclude it; then the only answer is
one.
That is, the most famous, mysterious and low-key new wizard: Angel Pat!
After guessing the identity of the person, Vai's expression was very surprised. He had always thought that the leader Doakes mentioned was also a wandering wizard; but he did not expect that he would actually be a famous extra-dimensional wizard.
"Master Chao Dimension." Vai bowed quickly.
Angel didn't pay attention to Vai's salute, but kept his eyes on the Black Earl's nose.
Recalling some of Lord Rhine's comments about the Black Earl in his mind, Angel thought of some interesting things and was about to say them out, but just at this moment, Kael came over.
"Sir, it's been done. The teleportation array can be activated now. However, there are two apprentices who are also preparing to go to Bilen Tree Garden, but they haven't waited for the patron, so..."
Angel withdrew his gaze and looked at Kael: "It doesn't matter, Doakes is here, we can protect him together."
Doakes said angrily: "Obviously you can also protect me, how can you push it to me?"
Angel: "This is recognition of the strong."
Doakes was silent for a moment: "...Okay, I'll do it."
When they arrived at the teleportation array, the other two apprentices who were seeking shelter were already there. They seemed to be a couple, cuddling up to each other intimately. It wasn't until Angel and others walked in that they separated and saluted respectfully.
Without a protector, apprentices would not dare to enter the teleportation array easily.
Angel glanced at them and confirmed that they were all second-level apprentices, so he stopped paying attention.
Kael, on the other hand, seemed to know them, greeted them, and started chatting with them.
From the conversation between Kael and them, Angel got a general understanding of the situation. The two of them were customers who had purchased items in Kael's store. They had a relationship. Kael said "I sell things"
"Is it easy to use?" as the topic, and gradually talked about the identities of the two of them and the purpose of going to Bilen Tree Garden.
Although Kael himself felt that it was very tactful, the two people opposite him were not stupid, and they obviously knew that Kael was asking for information from them.
Anyway, they didn't have anything to say, so they pretended not to know anything and told everything they could.
They originally came from Biron Shuting and were children of a big family in Biron Shuting. Their purpose this time was to go home.
It is considered as useless and insignificant information. The only thing worth mentioning is that these two people are indeed lovers and cousins at the same time.
Of course, Angel didn't listen, but Doakes glanced at them with a fascinated smile. It could be seen from his expression that this guy was probably thinking about some ups and downs story again.
Two minutes later, the teleportation array started.
Doakes activated the shelter and enveloped everyone in the force field to avoid damage caused by space fluctuations.
Only Kael took the initiative to leave the shelter, enjoying the space distortion brought by the teleportation while collecting the broken space power.
This is a normal operation of the space system. Kael is an apprentice and can only do this. If he were a formal wizard, he would even dare to directly condense space magic materials during teleportation.
This is the charm of the wizarding world, with three major structures, countless branches, and a hundred flowers blooming. Each department of wizards has its own special skills.
A few minutes later, the space teleportation stopped, and without any accidents, it arrived at the Billon Tree Garden smoothly.
The couple apprentices were very lucky to have arrived successfully; while Kael was complaining that the transmission time was too short, and the space power collected was not enough to pay for the transmission fee.
After the couple's apprentices respectfully bid farewell to Angel and others, they also left the teleportation array and formally entered the once prosperous but now slightly lonely wizard's market - Bilen Tree Garden.
Although Angel came here for the first time, he had heard of the name of this market.
When the Biron Tree Garden was first established, it was because of the ruins of the garden maze that appeared here. A large number of extraordinary people came to explore it, including those who had been stationed here for a long time. It was first a small settlement, and then gradually grew larger and developed into a wizard.
market.
For at least several thousand years, the Beeren Tree Garden has been popular for its garden maze.
It wasn't until the ruins of the garden maze were explored that the place slowly declined. However, the location chosen by the Biron Tree Garden was good. There were large tracts of verdant forest nearby, and the natural atmosphere inside was very strong. Later, the Bilos family simply surrounded it.
He created a lush forest, carved a large magic energy array, and began to slowly cultivate this fertile soil.
In the end, they not only raised a large amount of plant-based magic materials in the forest, but also because of the strong natural atmosphere, natural elves were occasionally born.
With this signboard, although the Bilen Tree Garden is not as crowded as before, it is not completely in decline.
At least in Angel's opinion, there are obviously a lot more people here than the Sandworm Market.
There are also more Wandering Apprentices than in Sandworm Market.
The reason is also very simple. The strong natural atmosphere means that the original magic power is also very pure. Compared with the market in the desert, this place is obviously more livable.
Bilon Tree Garden is full of tall green trees. It can be said that the entire market is built among the trees. Tree houses and tree bridges can also be seen everywhere.
It feels a bit like the Fairy Forest in the Wunong Principality. However, the Fairy Forest is inhabited by flower fairies, while this place is basically populated by humans.
Ever since they entered the Bilon Tree Courtyard, they had been hearing passers-by mention the "Bilos Family", and even a large number of shop signs started with "Bilos".
"If these are all run by the Bilos family, then they span a lot of industries." Standing in front of Bilos Cake House, Kael sighed.
"Aren't all wizard families like this?" At this time, Vai said.
"Is your Noah family like this too?" Kael asked in surprise.
Vai nodded: "Yes, but our operations are scattered in various places. I opened a 'Noah Divination Shop' in Mesoemia. Other members of the family also have their own operations."
Doakes spoke up and confirmed Vai's statement. Vai did indeed open a fortune telling shop, but he only divined death, so more people called it the "Death Shop".
"It's really rare for the Bilos family to open a large number of shops in different industries in one area." Vai said with emotion.
Doakes: "...Actually, the behavior of the Bilos family is normal, and your Noah family is rare."
Vai looked shocked: "Are you telling the truth? Why didn't I know?"
Doakes was speechless, and Angel and Kael finally understood, and Doakes complained that Vai was an otaku.
To put it mildly, it is called having little experience. To put it bluntly, he is a frog at the bottom of a well, thinking that the sky is only as big as the mouth of the well. Of course, this may be a bit exaggerated, but it is indeed difficult to match Vai's experience with his own strength.
It's nothing more than that he and Doakes are old friends, but he hasn't been promoted yet. The family situation is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it may be the lack of experience.
Doakes had obviously been to Biron Tree Garden, and he was familiar with the road, so he brought them to a tall building.
——Bilos Mission Hall.
Although this place is named after Biluos and is indeed Biluos's property, basically anyone can take on the tasks here.
Doakes brought them here, but not to accept tasks. In addition to accepting tasks, this place also undertakes the sale of intelligence.
"Don't you want to know the distribution map of the garden maze today? They are sold here, including topographic maps, aerial views, and crystal balls that specifically record the scene of the garden maze." Doakes looked at Angel: "
Which one are you going to buy?"
Before coming, Angel asked Doakes to prepare the distribution map of the garden maze. Unexpectedly, Doakes would take him here directly to buy it.
"The ones you buy at the Sandworm Market are from I don't know how many years ago. The newest ones are definitely the ones here. It's up to you to decide which one you want." Doakes said with a sincere face.
Angel felt that perhaps Doakes just didn't want to pay for it himself... After all, the garden maze had not remained the same for so many years, and there had been no earth-shaking geological changes, so how could it be updated?
Although he thought so in his heart, Angel still started to choose honestly.
Soon, Angel picked out a rough topographic map and a hand-drawn aerial view. It is worth mentioning that the aerial view is the artist's restoration of ancient buildings, not pure ruins, although some have been restored.
It's wrong, but overall it's very similar to the real Naraku Castle.
After selecting, Doakes said from the side: "If you still have any information you want to know, you can also go into the small room over there and ask. There is information for sale inside. By the way, the pair of close relatives who used our teleportation array before
Couples, aren't they from the Bilos family? You can try to quote their names when you pay for the magic crystal, maybe you can get a discount."
Angel was too lazy to pay attention to Doakes. He was a formal wizard and signed up the names of two apprentices for a discount. He really couldn't afford to lose this person.
"The information is no longer needed. Let's leave now." Angel said after paying for the magic crystal.
Doakes: "Why are you working so non-stop? Why don't you take a break? I heard that the forest project in Billen Tree Garden has a complete set of procedures and the service is very good. They are all beautiful apprentices. Maybe you can catch a natural elf in the forest."
That would make a lot of money.”
Angel subconsciously wanted to refuse, because these things were really boring and not as good as sex. But when he saw Doakes winking at him, Angel remembered that Doakes had said before that he would tell Wa without leaving any trace.
Yi asked for information...
Thinking of this, Angel was silent for a moment and said: "Okay, but you go ahead, I still need to study this map."
Doakes didn't care about Angel's unsociability. He cheered and put his arm around Vai's shoulders: "Let's go, let's take you to see the forest project here. I'm sure you'll remember it in the future and won't want to stay home again."
Already."
Vai didn't want to go either, but being dragged hard by Doakes, he couldn't refuse.
However, just when Vai was about to be dragged away, the stone slab with the Black Earl's nose embedded in it flew out of Vai's hand and hung directly behind them.
Vai was stunned for a moment and immediately closed his eyes to sense what the Black Earl meant.
After a while, Vai opened his eyes with a strange expression and said, "My master doesn't want to go either. He plans to stay here, but I can go with you."
