Most Northland witches possess special prophetic divination abilities.

This makes them often have quite amazing intuition, and they can also vaguely feel some of the future clips. For example, Sauron had only been here for a day, and he noticed that the cities of the Northlands seemed to be preparing for war, and it looked like they had been going on for some time. The food, weapons, important supplies, etc., are now all under the unified management of the council under the High Witches' Council, and compared to the hindsight in other places, the Northlands' response is still quite fast.

Sauron is also calculating the start of the Year of Turmoil!

At the latest, the first batch of Divine Spirit Sages will appear around October this year, and now it is almost February, and who can better cope with the turbulent times in the future will depend on how the eight months of preparation are. Because once the war between the gods and spirits starts, all kinds of divine powers will be raging in the mortal world, and it will be difficult to produce at that time, coupled with the abyssal demons invading the material plane, and the purgatory demons sowing discord everywhere, the resources of the entire material plane will be in short supply at that time.

Sauron has been hoarding food, and Viper Island is now almost a big granary!

It can be said that the price of grain on the south coast has basically risen by more than 50% because of his large purchases, and the price of grain continues to rise, and it is estimated that it will more than double around March.

The next day at noon.

Sauron's pirates brought back news that his fleet had reached the Deepwater Harbor, but fearing Sauron's force, the Deepwater Port refused to allow Sauron's fleet to dock, and urgently informed the High Witch Council. If it weren't for Golia's identity here, I'm afraid that the High Witch Council would have directly expelled Sauron's fleet. The stronger the power, the more noticeable it became, and the fleet that Sauron ordered to bring over was a threat to capture a port city, so in the end, even if Golia was in the fleet, it could not be docked.

"Just let them stop at the sea."

Sauron took a topographical map of the north and glanced at it. He nodded at one of the spots, and then ordered, "Ship the first batch back first, I'm negotiating a deal with the Witches' Council at this time, and it may be two days late." ”

The one-eyed dragon standing in front of Sauron bowed his head when he heard this, and then said, "Your Excellency, don't worry, I'll ship the first batch of things now." ”

Soon, the one-eyed dragon left with a group of men.

Sauron stood in front of the balcony of the wizard's tower and looked at the departing caravan, then turned around and walked in the direction of the real yàn room, Golia, who had entered the research state, seemed very busy, and they had not been close much in the past two days. Because Goliath is busy, and so is Sauron. Sauron had never been a hypocritical person, and since he had such an intimate relationship with Golia, it would be a foolish thing not to use her relationship to seek opportunities to cooperate with the Witches' Council.

The Witches' Council is quite resourceful!

And they also have one thing that Sauron is very scarce, and that is a large number of extraordinary-level equipment.

That's right.

Any wizarding alliance council conducts a high-value arms trade, including alchemy weapons, supernatural equipment, puppet golems, etc., which is difficult to buy without connections.

The heavy footsteps of the Clay Golem rang out!

Behind Sauron, the clay golem's muffled voice spoke, "Your Excellency! There is a sorcerer named Saruman who wants to see you. ”

Saruman?

Sauron was slightly stunned when he heard the name.

Forthwith. He remembered that he had mentioned to Golia in his letter that he needed a wizard who was proficient in alchemy and could refine struvite into high-quality fertilizer in large quantities. Yesterday Golia mentioned to Sauron that someone would come and see him today. However, he didn't say his name, but he didn't expect it to be Saruman, a name that is not common in the Northlands.

It made him think he had misheard!

Sauron nodded lightly and said, "I see." Bring him in. ”

Soon.

Then a clay golem walked in with a young male wizard with a beard that was close to gray. The face looks quite old, but the wizard professional level is not high, probably only about level 10. This means that his talent is not very good. Not all wizards can go all the way, and many wizards have been stuck on the threshold of the third order all their lives. Otherwise, Golia, who was only about the fourth order before, would have been able to become a member of the High Witch Council.

There are also many male wizards under the Northland Witch Council, and Saruman in front of you is one of them!

He shouldn't be too young.

Even if he didn't use the special ritual of prolonging his life, his face was nearly sixty or seventy years old, and Sauron was observing the old wizard in front of him, and the other party was also observing Sauron. By any point, this is a wizard who can never advance to legendary strength, although he is fully dressed, he looks a little messy, his eyes are tired and bloodshot, it seems that he has not had a good rest for a long time, and he can see a part of the defect on his staff, but it does not look like it has been repaired.

As Goliath said, this is a wizard who is a little depressed with a lot of money!

Wizards are rich.

But many times they are short of money, and even the money that can be liquid in Golia's hands may not be as much as a third of Sauron's!

Otherwise, this girl wouldn't have taken more than 30,000 Jindeler from Sauron when she was making out last night.

She needs a lot of expensive alchemy materials!

But anyone who has taken care of the trade knows that the proportion of liquidity is actually quite tight, and if it weren't for Sauron's lack of capital, I'm afraid the capital chain would not be as abundant as it is now.

Such a wizard is exactly what Sauron needs!

Because too promising wizards are not easy to control, wizards with advanced potential may not be willing to work under Sauron.

It just so happens that this kind of wizard professional level is not high, and his age is not too young, and he may not have much ambition to advance to the legend, and at the same time has considerable experience in alchemy, is the kind of subordinate that Sauron needs.

"They should have told you what had happened before they came, right?"

Sauron looked at the old wizard named Saruman in front of him, and said slowly: "Your job for the next three years is to serve me, I will pay you twelve thousand Jindler every year, and you can also pay the price to exchange spells, knowledge, and materials from Golia." She will give you higher exchange privileges. ”

The debts of wizards are all spread down layer by layer.

The expensive cost of spell learning must be shared with a part of the middle and low-level wizards in the end, otherwise the cost of training high-level wizards is too staggering.

The time of solendine is three years.

Three years is enough for him, and when the time comes, the wizard in front of him will stay if he wants to stay, and if he doesn't want to stay, he will leave.

For a wizard like this who has no possibility of advancing to a legend, it should be no problem for An An to give him a year and a half of work.

"Yes."

An old wizard named Saruman looked at Sauron, a little confused about the other party's identity, as Sauron looked like a wizard but was visibly as sharp as a wanderer, probably a part-time adventurer. He bowed his head slightly and leaned over to show his respect. No matter from which point of view, Sauron's status is undoubtedly higher than that of being able to stand in the wizard tower and talk to him, and the middle and lower level wizards basically maintain respect for high-level wizards.

He nodded slowly: "According to the contract, I will go to the overseas islands to work for you for three years, and you will pay me 12,000 Jindel every year, and after three years, I can decide for myself whether I want to stay or not." ”

Sauron glanced at him and replied, "Yes." ”

"If that's all right, let's make a contract. You can prepare. We set off three days later. ”

Hiring a wizard is expensive.

Although Goliath also knows alchemy, she must not be allowed to convert struvite into fertilizer.

Saruman in front of him is also a wizard who knows alchemy, and Golia says that he has a good level of alchemy, and such things should not be difficult for him.

Wait until the high-quality fertilizer is produced. Sauron will have one more way to make money, and at the same time, the cultivation of the overseas islands will also rise strongly.

Basically, self-sufficiency would be easy.

Because of Golia's deposit, Sauron didn't worry about what tricks the wizard in front of him would play, so he happily paid half a year's salary. Anyway, after killing the adult white dragon, his worth has increased a lot. The money in hand was relatively abundant, and the goods from the East were easy to get rid of on the Northland, and the witches had no way to refuse fine silk and porcelain. No matter in any era. The consumption potential of women is quite amazing, and these rich witches can buy more than 100,000 kindler sales.

There's not much to take with you inside the Wizard's Tower.

Because although Goliath manages the wizarding tower, it is not her personal property.

………………

Hiring an alchemist was only part of Sauron's plan.

In addition, he also needs a batch of transcendental-level weapons to arm his elite guards, and the limit of what can be bought on the south coast is the military weapons forged by the fine craftsmen, which are still far from the first-order transcendent equipment. Sauron wants to buy more than 100,000 Kindler worth of first-order transcendent weapons from the Witches' Council at once to arm his pirate legions. This +1 transcendent weapon can only be equipped by elite legions on land, so whether or not you can buy it depends on Goliath's right to speak.

This kind of large-scale arms deal must be approved by the Guò Witches' Council!

According to the current market price, the price of a first-order transcendent weapon is about two hundred kindlers, and Sauron is ready to buy equipment armed with five hundred elite people this time.

The elite troops in a small city may not have such a high level of armament.
