The appearance of Cruz's men in the Green Tower had more or less alerted Brando, but the Eagle Empire was still too far away for him. Besides, he knew that Veronica, the commander of the Azure Firmament, was unlikely to come after him.
The conflict at the Centaur's Hoof Market did not affect the two ladies' interest in this magnificent city on the tree. Under Veronica's suggestion, the four of them strolled along the streets of the Green Tower near the Loop of Trade Winds.
The magnificent scenery between the towering trees could sometimes make one forget all their troubles.
Ever since he bought the Stone Key, Brando began to pay attention to the inconspicuous little shops. He had to admit that the Black Forest was indeed rich in resources. After a round of strolling, he managed to get his hands on quite a few good items.
Not to mention most of the precious magical materials, there were even Binding Wind, Ancient Tree Branches, Wyvern Blood, and other rare high-grade items with Brass tags.
Unlike equipment, most materials were White in quality before they were extracted and recast. After the extraction process, most materials would be Alchemy (Black Iron). Meanwhile, materials that were born with Mana, such as Magic Crystals, were extremely rare.
Brando thought that he was lucky enough to get the blood of a Five-Headed Basilisk and 20 Blessed Scales. He did not expect the Green Tower to have so many unexpected benefits.
Binding Wind could be used as the core material for strengthening crystals. However, unlike the Ghost Knight's crystal, Binding Wind could allow one to master a wind-related spell.
The Ancient Tree Branches were a good material for crafting an Ancient grade staff. Although Brando had no use for it, he could sell it to others or exchange it for something more useful in Ampere Seale. Besides, he also had a backup Priest who would be a great help in grooming him.
Healers were highly sought after in any game. If it was not for the fact that he was unsure of her reliability, he would have considered making a set of equipment for her. Even if it was not top-notch, it would at least be top-notch equipment.
As for the Wyvern Blood, it was also a high-grade material for the Dragon's Strength Potion. Brando had already refined a large batch of Dragon's Strength Potions and was just waiting to distribute them to his subordinates.
However, the unexpected harvest he received from the Green Tower left him puzzled. He had never bought anything good from these shops in the game before. Although there were plenty of materials available, he didn't get much of a bargain. Those centaurs were not natives of the countryside. Each of them was as smart as a ghost.
However, Brando suddenly realized that this was not a game after all. In the game, he was just a newbie who started out late. By the time he arrived at the Black Forest south of Tónigel, the place had already been explored by other players.
And now, this was still a virgin land that hadn't been reclaimed. Perhaps some adventurers would occasionally visit, but overall, it was still in a primitive and uncivilized state.
After figuring this out, Brando couldn't help but feel elated. He couldn't wait to visit all the markets in the city within a day.
And it turned out that he was right.
It didn't take long for Brando to find some really good stuff.
A wandering magician from Tanya was openly selling a strange card to passersby. Brendel almost thought he was seeing things when he saw the card that no one was interested in.
But it was indeed a Card of Fate.
A basic land card called 'Draa's Wilderness'. It was a mature land card that gave 2 Earth EP and 1 Light EP when tapped.
After a short negotiation, Brando agreed to exchange a Lesser Moon Crystal for the card. The wandering Magician was overjoyed. As if afraid that Brando would go back on his word, he repeatedly told Brando that the card must contain some secret, but he couldn't detect any magical reaction from it.
But the wandering Magician solemnly stated that just because an item didn't contain any magical power, it didn't mean that it was worthless. On the contrary, he even released a small flame from his fingertips and set the card on fire. Naturally, the Card of Fate was not damaged in the slightest.
"You've seen it for yourself, Sir," the roaming magician boasted, treating Brendel as a fool: "Ordinary objects would be burnt to ashes in the fire, but this thing didn't move at all. This means that there's something strange about it."
"You see, although you and I can't see any clues, but for the price of a Moon Crystal, it's just a small gamble." The wandering Magician replied mysteriously. "What if you win?"
Brando nodded and took the card. He released a small flame from his hand to burn it. He didn't know that the Card of Fate had this characteristic.
The wandering Magician was shocked by Brando's action. Although Spark was just an Elementalist's cantrip, it was still not something a third-rate Magician like him could do without a spell.
This meant that Brando was an Elementalist, and he wasn't one of those common acolytes. He was a genuine Iron-ranked Elementalist. Judging from the casting speed, he was at least a two-ring Magician.
Even though the wandering Magician was satisfied, his eyes were not bad. "So Master Brando is an Elementalist." He was in awe, and secretly looked at Brando's expression: "Is Master Brando interested in this thing?"
"What is it?" Brendel put away the card, unsealed it and asked.
"I still have a lot of them."
"You still have a lot of them?" Brando asked: "How much do you expect me to buy? It's just a temporary interest. "
Scarlett pursed her lips slightly when she saw her lord's serious expression, but Amandina tugged at her hand from behind to warn her to be more careful. She did not want Brendel to discover any clues.
"Of course." The wandering sorcerer had been studying these cards for some time. He found them in the attic of a second-hand old house, but after all, he was not a professional scholar. After a period of fruitless research, he lost his patience. "It's okay. If you are interested in the rest of the cards, I can buy them for you at a cheaper price."
"How much cheaper?" Brando pretended to hesitate for a moment and asked.
"There are a total of five cards. A total of four Moon Crystals. What do you think?"
"Four?"
"Alright, alright, three!" The wandering Magician felt that three Moon Crystals was already a profit for him. He was afraid that if he stubbornly offered a price that was too high, Brando would leave in a huff. After all, he had tried to sell these cards in many places, but no one was interested in them. It was rare to meet a spendthrift.
Brando immediately nodded. Sometimes, one had to know when to stop. The incident at the Centaur's Hoof market was a warning. "Let me take a look at them first."
The wandering Magician hurriedly nodded: "Then Master Brando, can you wait for a moment? I'll leave the cards in my residence. It's not far from here, I'll be back soon."
Brando looked at him and replied: "Then I'll wait for you here. I'll give you half an hour."
If Brando was just a noble, even if he was a golden Magician, the wandering Magician would not be so obedient to him. However, Brando was an official Elementalist, so it was different. The wandering Magician quickly left, and Amandina watched him disappear into the alley. She could not help but sigh: "I finally understand why the Roman lady and Lord Brando are together."
"Those cards are useless to him." Brando shook his head. He did not see it that way. He had earned a lot from the Stone Key, but these cards were useless to anyone except for Planeswalkers. Tuman had told him that there was only one Planeswalker in ten thousand in this world.
According to Brando's example, there might not be a second Planeswalker in the whole of Erouine. As for whether Cruz had one, that was another story. In other words, if he did not want the wandering Magician's cards, he might not be able to sell them at all. Perhaps some scholars would be interested, but they would not be able to pay as high a price as he did.
Therefore, Brando did not think that he had profited from this transaction.
Moreover, in his opinion, there were many Cards of Fate in this world. It was just that the rare cards were rare.
Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled: "Compared to this, the next business is more important."
"Next business?" Amandina did not understand.
"I plan to buy that guy."
"Ah?" Amandina was taken aback, wondering when this young lord became a human trafficker.
"That guy is an Elementalist, and he has a good foundation," Brando replied: "In the future, I plan to separate the Spellcasters from the Knight Guards to form a young group of Magicians. But this group only has Meria and Mordenkainen, so it's not enough."
"Official Wizards will not be interested in a small temple like mine, and even if they join, they won't be able to control it in a short period of time," the young lord did not hide his thoughts in front of his aides: "But this kind of third-rate spellcaster is much easier to deal with."
"Is this okay?" Amandina was a little worried that her lord's method of picking up trash would leave behind any hidden dangers, but she did not know that Brando had a way to train a normal person into an official Wizard, let alone someone with talent.
"And the point is, the other party might not be willing, right?" She asked again.
Brando shook his head. Amandina did not understand much about the world of Spellcasters. There was no spellcaster who did not want to remove the word "apprentice" behind their title.
In Wohnde, there were all kinds of apprentices everywhere, but official Wizards were rare. Once one stepped into the real Wizarding World, it meant that they were a cut above the rest.
So he pointed at himself: "I'm also an official Elementalist. With this opportunity, the other party will not give it up. They can't wait to be happy."
Amandina was stunned for a moment.
Scarlet smiled at the side: "That's why you must be careful when doing business with my lord. Otherwise, you might accidentally put yourself in danger." When she said this, she glanced at Brando.
"That's right." Amandina nodded.
Of course, Brando knew that the two of them were making fun of him, but he did not mind enjoying this rare leisure time. He shrugged and did not mind.
