"The camel bell is the dream, and the sand is the final destination. Where is the traveler's heart?"
A gentle voice came from the Camel Squad. He could still hear the voice despite the flying dust. Clearly, the man was talking to him.
Angor was puzzled. What was he talking about? Was this a secret signal?
He never heard of any secret signal needed to go to the Wizard Fair of Laksum Duchy.
The Camel Squad stopped not far away. Seeing that Angor did not respond, the woman who spoke was about to turn her camel around and leave.
However, at that moment, the leader of the Camel Squad called out to the woman and said in a low voice, "Look at that person's shoulder."
Everyone in the Camel Squad was looking at Angor's shoulder. Dangros' broken arm was walking back and forth on Angor's shoulder.
They all sighed in relief when they saw Dangros.
The leader of the Camel Squad slowly approached Angor.
"Are you going to the Sandworm Fair, mister?"
Angor nodded.
"We're the guides for the Sandworm Fair. Please get on, mister. "An empty camel slowly walked to Angor's side.
Angor was going to say that he could use Gondola, but he thought better of it and got on. He had never ridden a camel before, so he might as well take it as an experience.
Everyone sighed in relief when Angor got on the camel.
The leader saw Angor's puzzled look and explained, "Many supernaturals have their own vehicles, so most of them would refuse to ride a camel. We can only explain it to them. Some of the more hot-tempered ones would even fight with us. We also hope that they can ride their own vehicles. However, camels are the only way to enter the Sandworm Fair."
"You're saying we can't enter the market if we use a vehicle?" Angor was puzzled.
The leader smiled mysteriously. "You'll know the answer to that later."
The Camel Squad started moving again?
The camel seemed to be moving slowly.
Angor was surprised to see that every time a sandstorm blew by …
The camel bell rang.
The Camel Squad traveled through the sandstorm as if they were teleporting to an unfamiliar place.
After teleporting several times in a row?
Now he understood why they had to ride a camel.
Every time the sandstorm came, the camel would travel through a space of unknown length.
Was he really going to use his own vehicle?
In the boundless desert, it was almost impossible to keep up with the camel.
Now that he knew how the camel could travel through space, his interest was piqued.
Could he be sure?
Although the camel he was sitting on had a bit of supernatural properties?
However, these supernatural properties were not enough for them to jump through space.
He looked away from the camels and saw the bells tied to their necks.
Although the camel bell was camouflaged, he could vaguely feel that it was quite extraordinary.
Seeing Angor looking at Camel Bell, the leader smiled. "You have a good eye, sir."
The leader had been following Angor all this time?
The other party was wrapped up from head to toe, making it impossible to see his appearance.
She only knew that it was a man.
"Those bells … they should be the truth behind space jump, right?" Angor asked.
The leader generously admitted, "That's right.
Every camel in our team has a camel bell like this. Inside it is a positioning teleportation device carved by a master of space. As long as he encountered sandstorms?
He could absorb energy from the outside world.
Teleport him. "
He paused.
"Each bell has a blood contract inside, which can only be used by camels with blood contracts. These camels are from the Lawrence Family in the Sandworm Bazaar."
It sounded like an explanation, but it was also a warning to Angor that he should give up on the camel bells.
The leader's words were quite timely. Angor really did want to take apart a camel bell to study it.
The camel team walked for several minutes and jumped through space several times before arriving at the second platform.
Two people dressed similarly to the camel team were standing on the platform. They were covered from head to toe, including their hair.
Clearly, they were also going to the Sandworm Bazaar.
"Camel bells are dreams, and sand is the final destination. Where is the heart of a traveler?" The gentle voice came from the camel team again.
The person in front of the platform looked around nervously, not knowing what to do.
The person behind him stepped forward and half-knelt on the ground. He spoke in a sincere tone, "Our heart is in the sky, and the glory of Mesopotamia shall never fall."
"You can come. The other one can leave," the gentle voice said.
The person who answered the secret signal quickly said, "She, she is my follower. Can she come with me?"
The camel team members remained silent for a moment. The leader considered and nodded. The person who answered the signal didn't look too strong, but who knew if he had a powerful background in the Sandworm Bazaar? It would be better not to offend him.
The two people climbed onto the camels and followed behind the camel team. They were tense, which meant they were very nervous.
The strongest person in the team, the leader, was a level-2 apprentice. Angor couldn't tell how strong they were, but he could tell that they were just mortals. However, they seemed to have some supernatural items on them. It was probably the blood of some kind of monster, which could temporarily trigger supernatural energy waves.
Angor didn't know why mortals were going to the Sandworm Bazaar. Maybe they were looking for a destiny and wanted to enter the supernatural world.
He didn't point out their identities. Instead, he turned to the leader and asked, "Was that a secret signal?"
The leader nodded. "Yes. To prevent mortals from entering the Sandworm Bazaar, the Lawrence Family issued an order that only those who know the secret signal can get on the camels. This secret code is actually very popular in the Magus Bazaar of the Laksum Duchy. Every Magus Bazaar has a different secret code. "
"How can you be sure that an outsider knows the secret code?" Angor wondered. He had no idea what kind of secret code they were talking about.
The leader gave Angor a thoughtful look. "I suppose you didn't pay attention to this place before coming to Laksum Principality, mister."
Angor nodded.
"As long as you pay attention to the supernatural world in Laksum Principality, you'll definitely read The Good Man of Mesopotamia. It's a monthly newspaper published by the government of Mesopotamia, which contains the secret signal of every bazaar in Laksum Principality.
"Due to various reasons, The Good Man of Mesopotamia might fall into the hands of mortals, so many bazaars often change their secret signals. If you want to travel around Laksum Principality, it's best to subscribe to this monthly newspaper. "
When the leader of the group said these words, the two people who had mounted the camel behind him trembled visibly.
Angor finally understood what was going on after listening to his explanation.
Mesopotamia was a supernatural city. Almost all of the Magus Bazaars in the Laksum Duchy revolved around this supernatural city. Even the secret signal of a bazaar was published by Mesopotamia's monthly newspaper.
"But I didn't know the secret signal …" Angor thought about why the man asked him to get on the camel.
The leader pointed at Dangros on Angor's shoulder. "That's a fire creature, right?"
"Anyone who can control an elemental creature is a powerful wizard."
They weren't sure if Angor was a wizard, but they didn't dare to underestimate an elemental creature.
The secret signal was meant to filter out mortals, not to embarrass supernaturals.
This was why the leader welcomed Angor.
If Angor used his original appearance, the leader wouldn't just greet him. He would treat him with respect. After all, a super dimensional wizard was already well-known in the southern wizarding region. Even truth-finder wizards weren't as famous as Angor.
The Camel Squad kept moving forward. They would go to each fixed station to pick up the people entering the bazaar.
After going to four stations and picking up a dozen more people, the squad finally returned to the bazaar.
They returned to the bazaar faster than Angor expected.
A cloud of black sand rushed toward them. The bells on the camels' necks all glowed red, and a teleportation array was formed under their feet.
About ten seconds later, everyone disappeared from where they stood.
When they reappeared, they were in a large oasis with warm sunlight and fragrant flowers.
This was the Sandworm Bazaar.
…
After bidding farewell to the Camel Squad, Angor entered the bazaar that looked like a garden city.
All kinds of strange flowers and plants bloomed along the streets. Specially bred bees and butterflies were flying in the sky. This place didn't look like Laksum Duchy at all. Instead, it looked more like Renaya's City of Fairies.
As a matter of fact, this wasn't Laksum Duchy. It was an alternate dimension.
In the entire Laksum Duchy, apart from Mesopotamia, which was in the real world, the other Magus Bazaars were all in alternate dimensions. After all, the outside world was too harsh. Even wizards didn't want to live in such a messy environment.
The bazaar was built in the style of a desert city. Most of the buildings were built with yellow bricks and rocks.
The overall style was the same, which gave the place a unique flavor.
However, there was a downside to looking at the same color for a long time. Well, it wasn't surprising since there were colorful flowers planted beside the buildings. They were probably used to wash the eyes.
There were supernatural shops on both sides of the main road. However, Angor only glanced at them and lost interest.
The items in these shops were mostly for low-leveled apprentices. They were useless to Angor. Still, Dankros was very curious about everything. It walked around Angor's shoulder and looked around. Angor didn't want to talk to it. He just wanted to find Aesop's disciple and finish the quest as soon as possible.
About half an hour later, Angor looked at the name of the street next to him — Prickleskin Street.
Then he looked down at the address on the envelope: "Sandworm Market, Sandworm Street, Eighth Lane, Room 818."
He originally thought that since it was named Sandworm Street, it should be the main road. He walked along the main street for a long time, from Green Street to Yellow Street, then Prickleskin Street, but he didn't see any sign of Sandworm Street.
Angor had no choice but to go to a shop nearby and ask the shop assistant.
Perhaps because the shop assistant sensed Dankros' hot aura, the shop assistant was very polite. Angor finally learned that Sandworm Street was the most important place in the bazaar. It wasn't located in the outside world at all.
To enter Sandworm Street, Angor had to find a sandworm statue at the entrance of the bazaar. Only by passing the statue's test could he enter.
Angor sighed and walked back from Prickleskin Street until he reached the entrance of the bazaar.
Just as the shop assistant said, there was a giant statue of a sandworm lying on its stomach. When Angor first came here, he thought it was just a long rock.
Angor walked to the statue.
The ugly creature's eyes began to turn red as if it sensed the presence of a living person. A buzzing sound came from its nose.
"Stranger, this is your first time on the Street of Sandworms. You have to tell me why you're here and answer my three questions."
According to the shop assistant, the sandworm statue was a sentient creature, and anyone who entered the bazaar for the first time would have to go through its test. However, the test wasn't too difficult. As long as you followed the rules, the statue would let you pass.
Angor looked at the sandworm statue without saying anything. Instead, he slowly released a wisp of wizard-level aura.
After a moment of silence, the sandworm statue said, "Unknown expert, welcome to Sandworm Street."
After saying that, the sandworm statue opened its huge mouth. The densely packed ring-shaped teeth inside made people shudder. However, Angor didn't mind at all. He walked straight ahead.
After taking a few steps forward, the sandworm behind him closed its mouth, while the path ahead lit up by candles.
A winding staircase appeared in front of him.
He soon reached the bottom of the stairs and pushed open a stone door. Immediately, he heard the clamor of people selling their wares.
Behind the door was a large underground space that was as big as the outside world.
As far as Angor could see, he had already surpassed the underground bazaar under Brute Cavern's apprentice town.
The underground space was quite lively. People were coming and going, which was in stark contrast to the desolation on the surface. The buildings here were no longer confined to the style of the desert. There were all kinds of them, which reminded Angor of when he first built Foundation City. However, the buildings here weren't messy. Instead, they were harmonious, which was completely different from Foundation City.
Angor walked into the underground bazaar with great interest.
As he learned more about the bazaar, he also learned about its layout. The entire place was called Sandworm Street. Sandworm products were mainly sold here. Other items were sold here, but they were very rare.
There were twelve alleys in total. The further the alleys were, the higher the level of the sandworms sold.
Only the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth alleys could be entered without a qualification check. The front alleys could be entered and exited at any time.
Aesop's student lived in the eighth alley, so he didn't have to go through the check.
