The attacks of the small magical beasts on the Ladya Hills were very weak. In addition, the guards had prepared the feces of high-level magical beasts in advance to disperse them, so the journey was quite smooth for the time being.
Although Perron Nelly had a lot of troublesome things to deal with and they were delayed a lot of time, they still arrived at the mountain city of Bein three days.
The caravan rested in Bein for a night and replenished their supplies. Then, Tang En successfully met up with Hilton. Hilton, who had received the news early, had already prepared the caravan and was waiting for Tang En to arrive.
As the Datang Chamber of Commerce was doing very well in Bein, Hilton had already recruited a lot of people here. Now, these employees were already familiar with the job. When they heard that they were going to open a branch in Alinx with the big boss, they were very excited.
"My Lord, where are our goods?"
After seeing Tang En, Hilton was very happy, but she did not see the goods they had agreed on. This made her very worried.
Could it be that Ellington's production capacity was insufficient? Unable to supply?
"They're all with me. Don't worry."
Fiona had already revealed to Hilton that Tang En had spatial equipment, so Hilton was not surprised. Instead, she was pleasantly surprised.
With the support of Tang En's spatial equipment, the efficiency of the caravan's advancement would definitely be greatly increased. Moreover, there was no need to worry about losing the goods. Of course, Hilton was happy.
Tang En pondered for a moment and asked, "Do we have a stable private residence in Bein now? A safe place to keep it a secret. "
"Yes."
Hilton secretly glanced at Elsa and revealed an ambiguous expression. "My Lord, please come with me. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret from Miss Fiona."
"What secret?"
Tang En had a baffled look on his face.
Hilton smiled but didn't say anything. She had a look that said, "Don't explain, I understand."
Tang En, Elsa, and Elijah followed Hilton to a mansion. Hilton opened the door, and said in embarrassment, "In order to integrate into the circle of nobles here, I bought a house here after discussing with Miss Fiona. This is the inner city of Bein, which is the periphery of the nobles' area. As a merchant, I could only buy a house here at most. It cost me a total of 5,000 gold coins …"
"Five thousand gold coins?"
Tang En was shocked. Looking at the luxurious house with gardens and lawns, he suddenly had the urge to burst into tears.
Hilton said a little uneasily, "I know the price is a bit high, but the original owner didn't want to leave, so he asked for a thousand gold coins. Sorry, we will pay more in the future …"
"No, not much. When it's necessary to spend money, there's no need to be thrifty."
Tang En waved his hand and said, "Take us to the basement."
After arriving at the basement, Tang En waved his hand, and the junk piled up there was scattered around, leaving a large empty space. Then Tang En took out materials and began to make a teleportation formation on the spot.
Elsa and the others couldn't understand what Tang En was doing. They only saw those things quickly forming a circular platform in front of him, and Tang En also engraved very complicated runes on it. Elsa only looked at it for a while and felt dizzy. On the other hand, Elijah observed Tang En's movements with interest, and a purple light flashed in her eyes.
Tang En, who was focused on his work, didn't notice this.
Soon, the teleportation formation was set up. After engraving Ellington's spatial coordinates, Tang En activated the teleportation formation and disappeared in an instant.
"Eh? Where did the Lord go? "
Elsa asked in a daze. She hadn't come back to her senses yet.
"This, this, this is —"
The knowledgeable Hilton had long heard that there was something called a teleportation formation in this world, but this was the first time she saw it with her own eyes!
Didn't they say that the teleportation formation technology was lost!?
How could the Lord!?
Soon, the teleportation formation shone again, and Tang En appeared again with a smile on his face.
Hilton looked at Tang En very excitedly, "Lord! Could this be — a teleportation formation!? "
"Yes, you've heard of it?"
Tang En's face was full of surprise.
"Of course! In those bards and in the stories that spread everywhere, teleportation formations often appear, but I didn't expect the Lord to have the long-lost teleportation formation! "
Hilton was so excited that she didn't know what to say. With the teleportation formation, why would the Datang Chamber of Commerce still need a caravan!? After Ellington finished producing the products, he could directly transport them through the teleportation formation, put them on the shelves, and sell them!
Reducing the cost of transportation and time, even if the price was reduced, the profit would increase a lot!
This was simply a heaven-defying artifact!
"No!"
Hilton's expression suddenly changed, and she paced back and forth a little anxiously, "The teleportation formation is built here, but the anti-counterfeiting measures here are too weak. If others discover our secret, it will be too dangerous! From tomorrow onwards — No, from tonight onwards, this place must be strictly guarded! "
"No need, don't worry, I'll take care of the security work later."
Tang En waved his hand and took out an ordinary magic crystal. Under the burning of the transparent flame, the magic crystal quickly twisted into a few thin crystal cards. An icon of the Datang Chamber of Commerce appeared on the crystal cards, and the names of Hilton and the others appeared in the lower left corner of the crystal cards.
"Take it."
Tang En also handed Thomas' crystal card to Hilton, "Give Thomas' card to him later. Drip a drop of blood on your card. This teleportation formation requires the owner to hold this crystal card to teleport. With the distance between Bein and Ellington, the energy of an inferior magic crystal is enough to teleport ten people."
"Understood! I'll definitely protect the crystal card well! "
Hilton solemnly put away the crystal card. Tang En was willing to give it to her, which proved his trust in her. She would not foolishly talk nonsense.
"Sir Lord …"
Elsa suddenly looked at Tang En with a bitter face.
"What's wrong?"
"I can't cut my finger, so I can't drip blood …"
Tang En was suddenly embarrassed. Elsa actually had such a happy worry, it was simply too much!
Tang En took out a dagger and helped Elsa cut her finger. As a result, as soon as Elsa squeezed out a drop of blood, the wound healed in the blink of an eye. This incomparably strong physique simply made Tang En jealous.
"Big brother, big brother!"
Elijah pulled Tang En's hand hard, "Where's Elijah's!?"
"Ah? You want it too? "
Tang En was dumbfounded. He did not prepare it for Elijah at all.
Seeing Tang En stunned, Elijah was stunned. A layer of mist quickly appeared in her eyes, and she was about to burst into tears. Fortunately, Tang En was quick-witted and instantly gave her a crystal card. Moreover, in addition to the Datang Chamber of Commerce pattern, there was also a very beautiful cartoon pattern.
After getting this card, Elijah was beaming with joy and proudly showed off her crystal card to Nola. Unfortunately, Nola disdained it, and Hilton was still here, so she was not even interested in showing off.
"Sir Lord is really good at dealing with children."
Hilton looked at Tang En meaningfully.
Tang En smiled and said, "Don't you think Elijah is very cute?"
Hilton nodded, "Of course."
Tang En withdrew his gaze and said, "I will set up a compound magic array here. People without a crystal card can't see the teleportation array. Even if they find something strange here, it won't be so easy to break in, so you can rest assured."
Hilton breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great!"
After Tang En set up the complex magic array, they left the basement.
After leaving the basement, Hilton was very smart and did not mention anything about the magic array. She found an excuse and left, leaving "private space" for Tang En, Elsa, and Elijah.
Of course, even though Tang En and Elsa had a long talk until midnight, even though Elijah sneaked into Tang En's bed in the middle of the night, and even though Tang En hugged Elijah and slept through the night, it was very regrettable that what Hilton thought did not happen that night.
Of course, Hilton would not know whether it happened or not. Although the private life of Sir Lord was very interesting, as an employee, it was obviously not a good habit to gossip about the private life of the boss.
As long as she did what she should do and satisfied the boss, then it was right.
The next morning, after breakfast, Hilton gathered the people.
Hilton whispered in Tang En's ear, "I have already told Thomas about the teleportation array and handed the crystal card to him. He will be in charge of Bein now."
Tang En nodded slightly. After chatting with Thomas for a while, he led the people to meet up with Perron at the city gate.
After the two groups of people met up, the convoy directly left Bein, bypassed the mountain road, and continued to drive east.
A few days after leaving Bein, the number of villages on the road gradually increased. Often, they would pass by a village every tens of kilometers. It was no longer like the Ladya Hills where there were no traces of people for tens of kilometers. There were also more convoys coming and going. For example, from the last village, there was a very luxurious convoy traveling with Tang En and the others all the way. After a rough observation, the convoy had at least a hundred people, and most of them were fully armed guards.
However, the two sides did not get too close and only greeted each other. It was beneficial for both sides to maintain relative vigilance because no one could guarantee whether the other party was kind or malicious.
Along the way, the scenery that was completely different from Ellington's was a feast for the eyes for Elsa and Elijah. Even Tang En, who had been tested in the game for a long time, was unknowingly immersed in the scenery.
That evening, the two convoys stopped in a small town one after the other.
As the previous journey was more bumpy, everyone was very tired from riding in the carriage, so they did not continue their journey. Instead, they decided to spend the night here.
"My buttocks are about to split open … I hate the roads around Morning Mist Town!"
Ever since Ellington's departure, Perron's buttocks had not been well. In particular, the bumpy carriage made his buttocks very painful, so much so that he sometimes had to lie on the seat on the road.
Perron viciously cursed the road outside, "This damn road, I will never leave Alinx again!"
Tang En's mouth curved, and said faintly, "Viscount Nali, please mind your manners."
"Hmph!"
Perron snorted coldly.
At this time, Tang En noticed that the convoy that was traveling with them had stopped in the town before them.
