Gu Huai told Xiao Tianluo about the destination, and then fell asleep in the car.

The car was rerouted to the original oasis.

In the near continent, Gu Huai gradually woke up, and he felt more refreshed.

Sure enough, it's a place where the power of the gods gathers. Gu Huai even fantasized about sleeping here every day, so that his soul injury would heal faster.

"Look, we're here. Taylor said.

Gu Huai sat up, rubbed his eyes, and looked outside, there was already a crowd of people around Bai Ji's navel. Outside the crowd, there are all kinds of cars, all kinds of strange beasts, running on the ground and flying in the sky.

Why is there such a crowd on this big night?

Look at the sky above the oasis, there are kites floating, not only big, but also absorbing the moonlight with mana, very bright, and the whole garden is scattered with a piece of Chanjuan.

Among them, four branches are particularly large, and each has a word on it, which are "stone", "carving", "big", and "race".

Stone carving competition?

"What's that?" Gu Huai asked Tailai.

"A grand event that is held every year in Shakun City," Tai Lai also looked out the window and said, "Meeting friends with stone carvings is also meeting friends with mana!"

Gu Huai remembered that if there were all kinds of expensive car dealers gathered in a certain place, then what they did was not only to buy and sell, but also to communicate. Because communication requires something to characterize one's identity, status, and financial resources.

Since it is a mage, it is a relatively rare profession in this Shakun City, and it cannot be held for a long time, but can only use its strength.

In other words, the use of mages is very expensive, and merchants generally do not sign long-term employment contracts with them, but only buy and sell their services.

During the event, the dealership will not be able to enter. The small snail stopped outside the continent, and Gu Huai and Tailai walked inside.

The oasis was filled with stones that night, the largest one was about three stories high, and even the small one was about one person.

These stones have either been formed, or have a general appearance, such as people—merchants, warriors, mages, headhunters, etc.—and some unnamed appearances—beasts—cows, horses, camels, sheep, and some unseen species, such as flowers—roses, moons, peonies, bauhinia, and some strange cores and petals, such as birds—as big as phoenixes, as small as chicks, and some unfamiliar wings, and like some microscopic landscapes—small streams, mountains, and sand dunes, which are lifelike and dizzying.

"There is a world of difference between a game and a game. Gu Huai sighed.

Similar works are concentrated in characteristic areas, where people, animals, flowers, birds, and scenery are separated, and the site is well managed and organized.

Tai Lai smiled and said:

"Usually it's a mess here, but when it comes to the big game, it's a different story. ”

Looking at the past one area after another, what is more colorful is not the various stones, but the earthy spells.

The stone is carved not by pretending to be men with knives, axes and hammers, but by mages who are gorgeously dressed but bare-handed.

A string of incomprehensible spells passed through Gu Huai's ears, and a set of unknown gestures flashed in front of Gu Huai's eyes, and then the little flashes flew out from the stones, and they were so colorful that they surpassed the stars in the sky. With those flamboyant spells, creatures and beautiful scenery gradually appeared.

Looking at the slowly forming work, the mages all had a look of pride on their faces.

"No wonder you have to come here," Gu Huai said to Tai Lai, "It's really a bit interesting." ”

He had also seen sculpture competitions in the Imperial City, but they were not as gorgeous as here.

"Tonight," Tai Lai said, "it's the time when the mages in Shakun City gather, how can you miss it?"

Yes, of course you can't miss it, Gu Huai thought to himself. He, like Tai Lai and many others in Shakun City, are just mortals, and tonight's focus in this oasis is a group of strange people.

If they came to see the stone carving competition, it was better to see the mage perform.

To say that they came to see the mage perform, it is better to experience what it is like to be a strange person out of thin air.

After all, in the Three Realms, it is too difficult, too difficult for mortals to become mages.

Next to the statue, in addition to the mage, there was also a referee who was judging and pointing, and a bunch of city-citizens watching the excitement.

Those who judge the judges, including the referees, are mortal.

Gu Huai can see that they like to comment, not because they really like to comment, but because everyone has a sour grape in their hearts, obviously they can't make a statue of themselves, and they have to say that others are good or bad.

"Although there are some awards for this tournament," Tay said, "these mages don't care too much. ”

"Of course," Gu Huai had already fallen into deep thought, muttering in his mouth, "Because they are mages......

"Little brother, what are you thinking?" Tai Lai asked when he saw Gu Huai's thoughts.

"How many times a year does this garden hold events of this scale?" asked Tayloriya.

Taylor thought for a moment and said:

"That's all I know, I don't think there's much. ”

"Who cares about this?" asked Gu Huai.

"Chengfu Tower. Taylor replied.

"Then why don't you charge the ticket silver?" Gu Huai asked again.

"Collect money?" Tai Lai tilted his head sideways and looked at Gu Huaidao as if he was looking strange, "It's just like this a year, you said that the city mansion still has a platform, just to collect a day's tickets?"

"Why not?" Gu Huai asked rhetorically, "Look at this number of people, don't say five taels of silver for one person, even one tael, it's incredible!, isn't it?"

"This ......," Tai Lai looked around as if he had been asked, and didn't know how to answer, "Maybe it's not like making money in the city mansion." ”

"If you don't want to make money, what kind of auction will you do?" Gu Huai asked, "Isn't the proceeds from the auction of Moyangfang also counting part of the income from entering the city mansion? Also, they gave the quicksand islands to Shopkeeper Qiu, isn't it also money?"

As soon as Gu Huai mentioned the quicksand islands, he had palpitations, and even recalled the poisonous smoke and the poisonous tea.

However, he was right to look at these directions. Although the quicksand islands themselves are a place for the fittest, it does exist to bring some income to the city mansion.

To say that the yamen does not want to increase their income is that people do not know the yamen.

If they really want to manage it for the public good, why do they want to sell the auction venue? Isn't it to save money and make more money?

Gu Huai flipped over his words, and said that Tailai kept nodding:

Perhaps, they just think that they only do it once a year, and it seems that they can't make money, so they don't care. ”

"It's a bit interesting to say that," Gu Huai also nodded, and then said with a little sarcasm, "I'm afraid there isn't a capable bookkeeper in this yamen." ”

Tai Lai could also hear that Gu Huai, like Boss You, didn't seem to like the people in the yamen very much.

It's no wonder that he himself was driven out of the imperial city of the largest "yamen" in the human world and thought he was left to fend for himself?

"But ......" Gu Huai looked at a mage in a white robe in front of him, waving his hands, and just as he was casting a spell, he asked Tai Lai, "Why did they come to this realm, there is no money without ticket revenue!"

"This ...... You'll find out later. Taylor smiled.

About the time of the three pillars of incense passed, and as far as the eye could see, almost all the stones in the entire oasis were carved into shape by spells.

Suddenly, there was more artistic atmosphere in the garden.

"Let's start voting!" After a while, the boys in charge of watching the stadium began to shout.

With a "jingle bell", a coin flew out from Gu Huai's side and fell directly to the feet of the white-robed mage just now.

Gu Huai's eyes also flew over, first following the silver coin to the ground, falling to the mage's feet, and then seeing the mage's face, he found that he was a little proud.

After that, more coins flew in and smashed in front of the audience's favorite work, and smashed into the mage's feet.

Gu Huai was stunned by this scene. At first, he thought that those mages were not arrogant, but now, aren't they all like beggars who give alms?

It is said that this mage is an almost aristocratic profession in Shakun, but at the moment, it is a scene that is not weird.

Tai came to look at Gu Huai, found him with a look of disgust, and explained:

"The mages are just a name, and whoever gets the most coins thrown at them proves that their stone carvings are better. ”

Gu Huai smiled. He really thinks that these so-called noble professions are not eating the fireworks of the world at all, and he is afraid that he has never even seen beggars.

Another while passed, and the coins were almost gone. The boy who took care of the yard began to count. One money, two money...... One-two, two-two......

At this moment, Tai Lai suddenly thought of something, and said to Gu Huai, "You are not thinking about making money, do you want to ask these mages if they can take over your small object business?"

Gu Huai was reminded by Tai Lai, his eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh, as if he was a little annoyed why he remembered this.

I'm afraid I paid too much attention to mages and how to make a lot of money before.

Because when he first entered this garden, he first thought of a big plan, which should be more profitable than the trading of Liusi beans and so on, so he forgot some things.

At this moment, he was reminded by Tai Lai, and he felt extremely urgent in his heart.

He thought that no matter what, he would find the source of goods first, and then talk about whether there was money or not. Otherwise, if you are overtaken by Sha Wuliu again, you will fall into a passive place.

"There are so many mages, is it possible that there is no one who has taken over the sale?" Gu Huai muttered, approaching one of the mages as he spoke.

"Hello, mage!" Gu Huai politely asked the white-robed mage who was closest to him just now. But before the questioning could be made, he was interrupted.

"Don't I have a name, is that the title of mage called by you boys?" The white-robed mage was not very old, about thirty years old, and had an arrogant tone.

"Dare to ask your honorable name!" Gu Huai was like a slap in the face, his brain was a little confused, and he didn't know what the mage was called, so he asked.

"Wei Changqing. The white robe's tone was still very arrogant, and he stared at Gu Huai with his chin and said, "What are you looking for me?"

"I want to talk about some business. Gu Huai said, thinking that if there is a business, he will not do it, unless this person is stupid.

Unexpectedly, the other party's attitude was still arrogant:

"We usually only have contact with the shopkeeper, and if you can't say something worthwhile, don't get in the way of our game!"

Gu Huai seemed to have eaten another slap in the face, and his heart was blocked.

I thought that now that the game was almost over, this guy was still there, and it was really necessary? Besides, how did he know that he didn't have a good deal with him?

So, Gu Huai said what he was going to do.

Basically, I want to ask this mage named Changqing to make a tornado in a small wooden box and send the qi inside outward.

Wei Changqing listened for a while, and then said:

"What my Dao is, it's just the power of qi. ”

"That big brother Changqing," Gu Huai thought that he had found the right master, "will you do it?"

"Boy, I'm afraid you've just come to Shakun City. Wei Changqing said this, and blocked Gu Huai back for the third time.

"Why do you say that?" Tai Lai couldn't look at it, and leaned up and said.

"Yo, there's also a fellow coachman," Wei Changqing glanced at Tai Lai and said, "I'm afraid I don't know anything about this spell world." ”

"I want to hear it!" Gu Huai was a little annoyed when he saw that Tai Lai, held him down, and said to Wei Changqing calmly.

"Say you're shallow. Wei Changqing said, his tone was a little annoyed, "I'm just a white robe, and I can't control the power of qi magic yet!"

Gu Huai heard it, it turned out that this guy didn't know it, so he was so angry, but it was just a sour grape.

Gu Huai didn't bother with him too much, and continued to ask:

"Then dare to ask Brother Changqing, who can be controlled here?"

"In this garden, I'm afraid there is no one to make your things!" Wei Changqing didn't answer, but a familiar voice came from behind Gu Huai.
