Qiao Xiu sat in a carriage, opened the curtains of the carriage and looked to the sides.

This carriage was 'borrowed' by Qiao Xiu from the Skeleton Gong, the coachman was Zenas at first, but after entering the human world, Qiao Xiu specially hired a villager to serve as the coachman, and Zenas stayed in the territory of the Skeleton Prince.

It took about three days for the carriage to finally get out of the snow-blocked forest, and the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased.

"Is Nolan so trafficked?"

Qiao Xiu looked at the crowd on the road, there were many carriages with luxurious decorations that did not look like items owned by civilians, and Qiao Xiu also saw many caravans transporting goods along the way.

Just from the scenery presented from this road, Qiao Xiu could already imagine what a prosperous city Nolan was.

"Foot traffic? I think they are envoys from all over the world, Mr. Qiao Xiu, didn't you come to Nolan from other countries to attend the 'World Exposition' in two months' time? ”

Marina and Ino sat across from Josiu, and as a qualified businesswoman, she quickly guessed the meaning of some strange words in Josiu's mouth.

The businesswoman's eyes glanced at the caravan outside the window, and remembered that her goods had been wiped out half a month ago, and couldn't help but sigh.

"No... I just went to Nolan with Ciri to visit a friend, but maybe I'll be at this fair. ”

Joshua remembered the name, and there were similar gatherings on Earth, where Britain hosted the first 'Universal Industrial Exposition' during the Victorian era in 1851, when Imperial England, where the sun never set, invited the nations of the world to participate in the fair.

"It's a bit abrupt, Mr. Josiu, can you tell us what you want to show? Of course if it's inconvenient......"

Marina instantly sniffed something called a business opportunity.

Since Nolan promulgated a law called the 'Patent Law' thirty years ago, the magicians of Nolan have realized that the improvement of their own power cannot change the world at all, and many ambitious magicians have begun to study the manufacture of magic machines, and a kind of place called 'Alchemy Workshop' has sprung up in the whole country.

This also led to Nolan's already world-leading position in magical research taking another big leap forward.

Of course, this small country based on students and teachers cannot be compared with the vast surrounding powers, so Nolan has always been in a neutral position.

And the reason why countries do not dare to act rashly against Nolan is because Nolan welcomes intelligent life all over the world to share knowledge with them.

This leads to a situation where the king of an empire is likely to be an alumnus of a school in Nolan, and his father was a professor at a higher school in that country.

And Nolan's 'Wizard Level Certificate' is the standard for spellcasters in countries around the world.

However, the reason why the countries of the world are really balanced is because there are too many great magicians with extraordinary existence in Nolan.

Marina also knows some superficial magical knowledge, she clearly knows how valuable a new type of magic guide machine is, if Qiao Xiu really has the existence of this kind of machine, Marlena doesn't need to mind those goods that have come to naught.

But the premise of all this is that Qiao Xiu is willing to give her this technology as a commodity.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, what I'm going to exhibit is here."

Qiao Xiu pointed to his head, but the businesswoman looked confused.

"Don't worry, Lady Marina, I'll talk to you about a deal when the time comes, a business that will give you untold wealth."

What Qiao Xiu wanted to express was of course the form that appeared in front of his eyes, and Marina had not learned the magic of the God of Order, so she could not see the program that Qiao Xiu had written.

"Then I'll wait for news from Mr. Qiao Xiu."

Marlena originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity of this World Exposition to find a way to make a fortune in Nolan, but that unwarranted disaster completely shattered Marlena's thoughts, but Marlena did not feel so lost.

She reached out and touched Ino's long silver hair beside her, now the succubus was wearing a men's dress, and her hair was tied into a single ponytail, but unfortunately this did not bring a trace of heroism to Ino, but looked more like a weak girl.

However, Ino has already confessed her name and gender to Marina, and after Marlena found out, she still accepted Eno selflessly and prepared to raise her.

And if you want to live in Nolan, it's not enough to have a house, Marlena needs a stable financial source, and doing business is the only thing she knows, but without principal and goods, Marlena has no way to start, but Qiao Xiu's answer gave her a glimmer of hope.

As we talked, the carriage had slowly driven to Nolan's door, a city that had no walls, but a transparent magical barrier that replaced them.

'Nolan was built on the ruins of an ancient civilization that built untouchable walls that made Nolan the strongest fortress in the world. ’

This is a narrative that Qiao Xiu had seen in the "General History of the World", and he had to go through immigration inspection before entering the barrier.

Marlena didn't have any goods with her, so the customs duties were only a few silver coins.

But the tariff is heavy enough for civilians.

After crossing the border for nearly two hours, passing through several small towns and villages along the way, the carriage finally entered Nolan, the most prosperous city in the world.

Qiao Xiu pushed open the door of the carriage and stepped out of the carriage, the air around him was much fresher than the Demon Realm, and the architectural style of the whole city did look a little like the Victorian architecture of the nineteenth century, but the pedestrians on the street could be regarded as a hodgepodge.

Sandfolk, lizardmen, elves, dwarves, gnomes, goblins... Qiao Xiu was able to easily find these races on the streets.

The streets are populated by the most robed magicians.

"This is the address of my residence, Mr. Jossiu... If there is any good news, please come here and find me. ”

Marina handed Josiu a piece of paper with an extremely accurate place name.

"I will, Ino hopes you can adapt to life in the city as soon as possible."

Qiao Xiu's words were in the form of an order, and although the tone sounded like a blessing, Ino immediately nodded in understanding.

Qiao Xiu picked up his suitcase and closed the door of the carriage.

"Where do we go next?"

Ciri stood next to Qiao Xiu, and his tone sounded a little weak.

During the trip, her Ping Pong record with Qiao Xiu was 1:210, and Ciri once suspected that Qiao Xiu was definitely cheating, but unfortunately no matter how much she protested, it had no effect.

"Didn't you say you came here to see your sister?"

The city is now the most mixed, before going to find the theater that the skeleton man said, Qiao Xiu first has to find a way to find a map of the city, but the guidance of the locals is far more useful than the map.

"Well, I..."

Leaving the Demon Realm and returning to the human world should have been a happy thing for Ciri, but when she thought that she was going to meet her rich sister in this manner, Ciri couldn't raise her head at all.

Ciri tugged at the 'collar' around her neck, and she had gone too far by playing that game with Qiao Xiu on the way, and she almost forgot that she was Qiao Xiu's prisoner.

"Okay, I think about it, it should be over here."

It was not the first time for Ciri to come to Nolan, she was very familiar with the surrounding city, so under the leadership of Ciri, Qiao Xiu officially started this trip to Nolan.
