"Let's go." Silen jumped off the carriage and started walking with the two horses.
"There are five of them in total. Each of the three major organizations has one, and they're used to exchange their unique resources with the outside world. The other organizations also have one. Including this one, there are five of them. "Asuna pointed at the cliffs in the canyon.
Angele rode on the horse and looked at the cliffs.
"That's the fee for leading the way."
"Your name reminds me of a friend of mine." Angele smiled.
The road ahead gradually turned into an upward slope, and clusters of white snow gradually appeared on the ground around them. The grass was getting thinner, and there were more gray stones and white snow on the ground.
At the end of the road in the distance, a snow-covered mountain range that stretched on endlessly slowly appeared in the distance. The entrance was connected to the gravel road, and there was a black stone tablet in front of the entrance, separating the people and carriages into two groups.
The other members of the team looked at Angele in a different light after seeing the ten magic stones. They all knew that Angele was not a normal person if he could just throw ten magic stones at him.
"Well … I need to go back first …" Asuna hesitated for a second.
"That's the trading point for beans, including red beans, black beans, and mainly sea pod beans of the Merfolk." Asuna smiled and said, "The food here is mainly transported by the Merfolk."
"This is the entrance to Nola. On the other hand, there was an ordinary resource exchange. It sold flour, meat, fruits, and other daily necessities. Clothing, food, housing, and transportation could all be found here. It's a place for replenishing supplies. "Asuna jumped off the carriage and followed Angele.
"Do you see the stone houses on the top? That's a trading point for different resources. There are many trading points in each trading point, and different types of resources can be traded in different trading points. Also, the trading points are protected by strong forces. "
"The security of the trading point is maintained by all the organizations, but the other trading points are protected by the organizations that are responsible for them. Without enough power, it's impossible to maintain a trading point. Wizards don't need to spend much effort to force people to buy and sell. They can achieve their goals with some small tricks. "Asuna shrugged.
Several minutes later, the carriage arrived in front of the black tablet.
Angele heard the sound of flowing water as they entered the hall.
Angele could tell that Asuna was in need of money, and everyone in the team treated her like a sister and took good care of her. The atmosphere in the team was more harmonious than he expected.
Asuna noticed that Angele was looking at her.
"We'll take care of the materials. You can go back now. Your father might have something urgent to attend to." Asuna took out two magic stones from her pouch. They looked like mid-level magic stones, and each of them was worth about ten low-level magic stones.
"That's not a problem. Xilen's family is a local family here. They're very familiar with everything," Asuna added with a smile.
"It's fine, these magic stones are nothing." Angele smiled. Thanks to the chip, he had skipped the initial accumulation period, so he knew how important magic stones were to the apprentices at this stage. He still had a Black Crystal Card in his waist pouch. It was an Essence Card refined from Magical Stones. Each card was worth about a thousand Magical Stones, and he still had a few high-grade Magical Stones for pocket money. He still had a black crystal card in his pouch, which was the essence of magic stones. It was worth about 1000 magic stones, and he still had several high-quality magic stones.
The group of people blended into the crowd and went up the mountain road on the right.
On the left, there was a stone cliff. Outside a greyish-black stone house, a few oxcarts carrying goods were parked there. More than ten strong men were strenuously unloading the goods. Two supervisors were shouting loudly at the side. Their voices were covered by the sound of the waterfall, so Angele could not hear them clearly.
The surface of the tablet was smooth, and it looked like it was made of glass.
Angele chatted with the others as they advanced. He also learned the names and origins of these people.
The square was built on the side of the mountain, and the ground was covered with gray stone walls. Behind the tablet was the entrance of a canyon.
Angele slowly led the horse up the mountain.
"What's that, Asuna?" Angele pointed at the stone tablet and asked.
Asuna was surprised. "What's up? We need to take care of the materials later. "
Angele heard Green and Captain Asuna laughing outside the carriage.
Angele lowered his head and looked at the front.
Asuna bit her lower lip, but she did not say anything. She knew that the first time of a girl in the first place was not a big deal. However, she was different.
Asuna looked at Silvan and chuckled. "The Black Crystal Pillar. I heard it's used to detect strong energy waves within a certain range. It's one of the main methods to prevent people from fighting. "
The others also chuckled, and immediately changed the topic to something else. They no longer talked about the Magic Stones and the price of the materials.
On the right side of the cliff, there was a winding path that led up the mountain. The carriages and people were moving slowly along the path.
On the protruding parts of the greyish-black cliffs, there were old, greyish-black stone houses. From afar, the stone houses were slightly green, covered in vines and moss.
Angele could see a humongous canyon in front of him. Two streams of white water were falling down from the top of the canyon. They looked like two pieces of white cloth from afar. Angele could hear the noise coming from the water.
"Is that so?" Xilan also smiled. "This name was given to me by my grandfather. In the language of my hometown, it means hope. Green, what do you want to do in Nola? Can you tell me? I think we might be able to help you a little. "He seemed very warm and sincere, almost without any ulterior motives.
Perhaps Asuna was really in need of Magic Stones. After some persuasion, she finally accepted the mid-grade Magic Stones with a guilty expression. That was 10 Magic Stones. The Magic Stones that they were talking about were Inferior Magic Stones.
Angele nodded and looked at the workers carefully.
Angele pulled the reins and observed the stone tablet carefully. His mentality wave was much denser than before, so he could sense the energy waves coming from the stone tablet.
The girl was called Asuna. She was the only one in the team and she was a knife thrower.
The canyon was surrounded by grayish-black walls. The steep walls were densely packed with protruding cliffs in the shape of sharp mouths.
"Merfolk?" Angele was a bit surprised.
"This … is a little too much. I can't take up so much …" Asuna hesitated, but Silen threw a handful of magic stones at her. She had no choice but to catch them.
"Yeah. Look at the faces of the workers, "Asuna said in a low voice.
The entrance was wide enough for five or six carriages to enter at the same time.
Angele noticed that the ground of the canyon was uneven and it was not suitable for the carriages to move quickly. He jumped off the horse and walked into the canyon with the reins.
He handed the magic stones over to Asuna.
"Maybe he's the heir of a big family." One of Asuna's companions nodded. "Asuna, find a chance to learn more about him. Maybe … I don't know how long it'll take for your family to pay off the debt. Didn't you say you're going to find a rich man to pay off the debt? "
The stone tablet looked like it was made of crystal. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, and it was rectangular with four sides. The stone tablet was surrounded by translucent energy waves.
"The public market only sells daily necessities. You can't buy the materials you need to cast spells here, but you can buy clothes and food here. Of course, they're not enchanted items. "
"How many public markets are there in Nola?" Angele asked.
Asuna lowered her head and sat in the carriage. She spoke in a low voice through the window, "Every time we do a mission, we only get about 20 magic stones per person. He's just giving me 10 magic stones as a guide …"
The stone monument was built on a small, round, white square. The ground was a smooth, greyish-white stone surface. The carriages and carriages would enter the stone tablet from the left side, while the other carriages would exit from the right side.
Angele chuckled. He took out a mid-level magic stone from his pouch and threw it to him.
The warm and humid wind continued to swirl in the canyon. Even though it was the cold temperature of the Great Snow Mountain outside, it was unusually warm inside.
The leader of the group was called Silen. Unlike the others, he was born in a Wizard family. The rest of the members were Wizard apprentices who joined Nola.
Asuna quickly caught the magic stones. "That's too much. I only need two magic stones. I'll talk to you." She quickly took off her pouch.
The stone tablet looked like a signal tower. It was releasing energy waves in all directions, but Angele had no idea what it was used for.
"I heard it has other uses." The middle-aged man smiled. "Asuna, your father wants you to go to him as soon as possible."
"Here's your share. I'll pay the market price first. I'll keep the extra money later. Ha … "He purposely put on a satisfied expression.
"Also, I have something to do later. Asuna, can you introduce this place to Mr. Green?" Silen suddenly opened his mouth.
Walking along the cobblestone road, there were more and more horse and ox carts on the road. There were more and more people with backpacks and boxes on their backs. The noise made by the carriages and the animals were making noises.
"I'm just looking for the materials I need. I've been looking for some of them for a long time. If it's possible, I'll need your help. I'll pay you for it. "Angele nodded.
"You're right." Angele knew more than ten ways to create illusions that could perfectly disguise a fair trade. "Are there any spellcasting materials here?"
Angele raised his head and looked at the black stone tablet on the side.
"Nola's main market is the trading center. Many families have branches in the trading center. The trading center is a resource exchange center built by the major organizations. This is a public trading center. It doesn't belong to any organization, "Asuna explained.
