Chapter 530: Nicholas
According to Theon, in the Crystal Islands, black and white wizards are not very opposed, and they act in different ways, but although dark wizards sometimes do research that is considered terrible to white wizards, they rarely harm the natives...... This is probably what the so-called 'rabbits don't eat the grass around the nest'.
To Merlin's surprise, the Black Tower is a White Wizard Organization, while the White Fang Valley is a Dark Wizard Organization, and these two names are quite joyful in her opinion.
The Theon family has been running the fleet for generations and is well-known in the local area, which is why it has a place in such a large-scale auction...... An exclusive private room.
Although the ships suffered losses on the 200-mile sea route, Merlin only used the power of the wind element to bring the ships as fast as possible, and in the evening, they had already landed in Mindanao. That night, Merlin stayed at Theon's house, declined Theon's offer of a feast, and returned to her room to rest...... Now she hasn't found a suitable cover identity, and if she makes a big splash, if those old monsters find out, she will have to embark on a fugitive journey again.
Early the next morning, Merlin and Theon went to the market together, although her face changed slightly, but she did not hide her strength, Mindanao is the third largest island, the strong are like clouds, although the second-level wizard is not enough to carry the bucket, but at least walking in this kind of place, it is not enough to attract attention, not to mention that Merlin's changed appearance is ordinary, like a small jasper, which belongs to the kind that is easily forgotten if thrown into the crowd.
The scale of this bazaar is not large, and the furnishings are quite simple and modest, but there are many wizards and wizard apprentices who come and go, and it is very popular, and it seems that there are no great forces nearby, or it is located on a major transportation route.
Now that she has come here, Mei Lin is not in a hurry, even if the skills of those old monsters are thorough, it is impossible to pursue it here, and she can take her time by herself. Along the way, Merlin learns a lot of useful information from Theon. It turns out that in the center of Mindanao, there is a mountain range that runs from east to west, dividing it into two, and the two sides are about the same size, and the White Tooth Valley and the Black Tower are also bounded by this mountain.
And now the market he is in is one of the industries of the Black Tower, that is to say, it belongs to the sphere of influence of the White Wizard.
Merlin listened with a faint expression, but kept this information in her heart. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Theon led Merlin into an inn.
The inn was ordinary, no different from the shop next to it, but Theon was obviously a regular customer, and glanced at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper understood, nodded, and immediately a servant led Merlin to the back.
The backyard of this inn was not small, the servant was not very old, and he was also a second-level apprentice, respectfully in front of Merlin, and a look of awe flashed in his eyes from time to time. Outside the courtyard, there was a witch array that was isolated from detection and vigilance, and the second-level apprentice handed over the pass token and left.
Merlin wore the token, and when she walked into the courtyard, her eyes suddenly opened up, and there was a white stone path at her feet, and the ground around her was covered with green velvet grass, like a huge green carpet.
The whole courtyard is about more than 1,000 square meters, and there are thirty or forty wizards standing sparsely, although the number is not much, but there is not a single wizard apprentice, and the lowest cultivation is also a first-level wizard, and there are even a few third-level wizards.
Mei Lin's face couldn't help but show a hint of solemnity, after all, the people who were able to hold the secret market auction were all well-established forces, and now she wanted to find a place to live temporarily, so she naturally didn't want to make a big deal and find trouble.
Mei Lin's arrival has also attracted the attention of many well-intentioned people, not because of how great her strength is, but because she is too young.
However, these people quickly withdrew their gaze, and without it, except for being too young, on the surface, Merlin was too ordinary.
There were so many wizards gathered here, but there was not a single chair on the ground, but in front of the clearing, there was a stone table that was a long one, and it was also very simple.
But Mei Lin not only did not despise it, but her vigilance became more and more high.
After waiting for another half an hour, several third-level wizards came one after another.
Just as Merlin felt a little irritated, a rough-looking wizard walked up to the front of the stone table and gave a wizarding salute to everyone: "Sorry to keep you waiting, the auction is now officially open." ”
"Wait, I haven't even arrived, why are you in such a hurry to start this auction?"
A somewhat sharp voice sounded suddenly, and there was a faint mockery in it, and everyone was stunned, so loud, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look in the direction where the voice came from.
I saw that from outside the door, a thin old wizard slowly walked in, this old wizard's voice was not small, but his appearance was so distinctive, there was almost no flesh on his body, as if a human skin was wrapped around a bone.
Mei Lin can be regarded as well-informed, but when she looks at this person, her face can't help but show a strange look, but the next moment, her expression becomes very serious.
As the saying goes, people can't look good, and the sea can't fight, this wizard is ridiculously tall, but his cultivation is overwhelming, and he is actually a third-level wizard.
"Lord Nicholas. ”
"It's Nicholas's old monster, why did he come to this auction too?"
Merlin is unfamiliar with life, but among the wizards in this room, there is naturally no shortage of well-informed people...... It can be heard that in this courtyard, whether it is a low-level wizard or a high-level wizard, they are very jealous of this person, and Mei Lin naturally regards him as the first person to guard against.
In front of this wizard, everyone had a lot of scruples, so naturally they didn't dare to talk about him nonsense, but from some words, Mei Lin also learned some information, although this person's cultivation is high, he does not belong to any of the forces, he is a wandering wizard, usually seems harmless, but his actions are extremely vicious, and he has the reputation of a smiling tiger.
Smiling Tiger, Mei Lin chewed twice in her heart, and then laughed at it, no matter how famous he is, it has little to do with him.
The others also withdrew their gazes, lest they should be targeted by the old monster.
You must know that a third-level wizard is already a high-end combat power, even if it is a wandering wizard, there is absolutely no force willing to provoke ...... On the contrary, many wizarding organizations have thrown an olive branch to him, but he has refused.
"It turned out to be Lord Nicholas, which really added to the auction. The wizard who presided over the auction glanced at the notorious wizard with a strange expression, as if surprised, as if dissatisfied, but on the surface he did not dare to reveal the slightest outcome.
