Chapter 137: Acquaintances
The Turbulent Canyon is said to be a large canyon, but in fact it is actually a complex area sandwiched between two mountain ranges, not a canyon in the literal sense, but because the two mountains are very high, and the middle zone of the two mountains can be seen from anywhere, as if they are in a canyon, hence the name.

In fact, although the geographical location of the turbulent canyon is somewhat remote, it is not very barren, if there is a condition, it is possible to build a small city here, but because this place is good and immortal, it is at the junction of the Platinum Ring Tower and the Crow Hut, so there are often frictions and conflicts in this area, and there is no way to develop a city well.
As the so-called immortals fight mortals suffer, not to mention that the immortals also die a large number of them, every year a lot of apprentices die in this place, the situation of mortals can be imagined, almost every time there are unlucky guys who are affected and die, this place can be regarded as a place full of unjust souls.
Therefore, the Turbulent Canyon is only a few small towns and villages at most, there are no larger cities at all, and even the gathering place of wizards is only a few small wizard bazaars, which can be said to be very desolate compared to the internal areas of the major powers.
But it was such a sparsely populated and desolate area, and wizards from both sides of the Platinum Ring Tower and the Raven Hut were constantly entering it, nay, not only these two forces, but also a large number of wild wizards, wizard fugitives, hired wizards, and some alien races have poured into this area, and the number is much greater than the apprentices of the two powers.
The reason why so many people flock here without hesitation is because this place used to be an ancient battlefield, and every year many lucky people dig out treasures here, either lost ancient technology, or some kind of inheritance that has been lost for a long time, if there are only one or two, it would be fine, but as more and more people benefit here, the fame of this place grows.
The area of the Turbulent Canyon, in the ancient Arnornd period, was once a strong stronghold, many ancient wizards gathered here, and built wizard towers and various school forces, but as the plane war intensified, one day a plane that was fighting with the wizarding world suddenly launched a surprise attack and descended on the wizarding world, which happened to appear in the Turbulent Canyon.
The local wizards and the warriors of the other world fought in the dark, although the warriors of the other world were sneak attacked, but the Turbulent Canyon itself was a strong stronghold, so the two sides fell into a state of pulling, and countless lives disappeared here, and finally with the arrival of more and more warriors from the other world, the Turbulent Canyon was finally defeated, and a large number of wizards and creatures from the other world fell here, and today, this has all become an extremely coveted treasure!
Not to mention those apprentices who dream of soaring to the sky all day long, even the official wizards can't sit still, and even second-level wizards are not unheard of here.
After all, most of the ancient wizards who fell here were second- and third-level, and even a few of them had died at the fourth-level legendary level, not to mention second-level wizards, it was not surprising that they attracted legendary wizards.
It is such a treasure land, good and immortal, it is located at the junction of the two major forces, this is terrible, the wizards of the two forces are not pleasing to each other, and when they are looking for treasure in the turbulent canyon, they are even more eager to kill each other, so there has always been friction here, plus the wild wizards and the hired wizards hired by the two forces, this place is indeed like a pot porridge.
Yenifa took his "bodyguard" Delia to get off the magic energy carriage in the nearest town outside the Turbulent Canyon, he was not going to enter the canyon now, but was ready to find out the information over there now, after all, he would definitely die a miserable death if he recklessly broke in, and if he asked for information, at least he would die clearly.
The place where the two of them are now located is a medium-sized city, with a wizarding bazaar, which is very popular due to its proximity to the Turbulent Canyon, where treasures often flow out of the Turbulent Canyon, and many wealthy wizards who don't want to venture into it gather.
"Delia, have you been here before?" Yenifa got out of the carriage and was not sure where to go, when he saw that Delia had gone in one direction.
"Come with me, I came to this city to do a mission when I was a junior apprentice, and I almost died that time, and the mission failed, but I still have acquaintances. Delia said as she seemed to puff up her chest proudly, and led the way ahead with great confidence.
Acquaintances? Yenifa had some doubts in his heart, did Delia still have acquaintances here? If there were really acquaintances here, then the intelligence gathering work should be easier to do, but it feels very strange, did he make acquaintances just by coming here on a mission?
With a little doubt, Yenifa followed behind Delia, and the two of them, dressed in ordinary and inconspicuous black robes, walked back and forth through the streets and alleys of the city.
Along the way, there are many ordinary people and secular nobles, but surprisingly, there are not a few mysterious people in black robes, although they can't see their specific situation, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with wizards, not even black robes, even high-level apprentices in gray robes, and occasionally even one or two official wizards in white robes.
Yenifa couldn't tell if he was shocked or bitter, the shock was because the city was not big but there were so many wizards, and the bitterness was because there were already so many high-level apprentices and official wizards here, so if he really entered the Turbulent Canyon, would there be no more of them?
Speaking of which, the elders of the family are also very strange, knowing that he is now in the period of mental activity, but they have a very strong attitude to ask Yenifa to go out on a mission, if Yenifa hadn't asked Mentor Renault, he still thought that someone in the family wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of him.
However, after talking to Mentor Reynolds, Yenifa knew the deeper core purpose of the mission, which was why he was so anxious now.
The follower Deria, Yenifa and her came to the storefront of a dilapidated grocery store, the grocery store looked in disrepair, even if Yenifa sneezed at it outside and shook it down, it was not surprising at all, just looking at it felt like a "dilapidated house", I really don't know how the old woman sitting behind the counter in the store sat so confidently and boldly.
When Delia walked into the grocery store first, the old woman behind the counter waved her hand impatiently: "The goods haven't arrived today, no business, hurry up! Don't make me sleep!"
Yenifa was not happy at that time, how are you doing business! I, a noble wizard, dare to be so rude to me? Do you know what happens to mortals who insult wizards?
Yenifa was about to teach this blind old bastard a lesson, but saw Delia spit out a few characters faintly in her mouth, although her voice was very soft, but it was loud, and the old woman behind the counter who was about to fall asleep suddenly straightened up, swept away the appearance just now, and her cloudy eyes also became bright.
"Miss...... Is the eldest lady back......" The old woman hurriedly stood up, came to Delia's side with astonishing agility, and lifted her hood to reveal Delia's beautiful and charming face.
"Miss...... It's really a big lady...... You're finally back again......" The old woman burst into tears when she saw Deria, and stretched out her hand like a dead tree to gently caress Deria's face, "It's good to come back...... We all miss Miss so much, I'll take you down to see Miss Second now!"
Yenifa looked a little confused from the sidelines, why did Delia suddenly become a young lady? Isn't she a civilian apprentice? And what is the matter with this old woman? Such agile skills, and magic radiation...... It's a primary apprentice!
Just when Yenifa was full of thoughts in her heart, Delia held the old woman's hand: "Granny Mei, don't be excited, aren't I here, this time we have a mission to do, is my sister here now?"
"Yes, yes, I'll take you to the second lady now, but who is this?" said the old woman, looking at Yenifa with an inquiring eye.
"Hmm...... I'm hers...... Boyfriend!" Yenifa thought about it, anyway, that kind of relationship had already happened, so it was okay to say that it was a boyfriend.
"Miss is also at this age, hehe...... I don't know what the identity of this little brother is?" the old woman smiled, but still looked at Yenifa with a stern scrutiny.
"He is a descendant of the Earl family, and the famous family of the Platinum Ring Tower!" said Delia suddenly covering her mouth and chuckling, pointing at Yenifa in a mocking manner.
"That's great! You've finally made it to the top of the list...... Your life is hard, you should have been a rich daughter, but you ended up like this...... Hey......" The old woman's mouth was very broken, and she said in a longing voice, "You must seize the opportunity and take advantage of this man's momentum to cultivate hard!"
As she spoke, the old woman quickly closed the door of the grocery store, and then saw a few quick pats of the miscellaneous items on the counter around her, and Yenifa immediately sensed that the grocery store was surrounded by several techniques, isolating sound and light, and could isolate detection.
"Come with me, let's go down. The old woman held out her hand and took Delia and led them to the backyard of the grocery store.
The big backyard of the grocery store is really a deplorable, dirty and messy, debris is thrown everywhere, the backyard is already overgrown with weeds, everything looks very dilapidated, obviously in the city, but it looks like it is in the slums.
There was a dilapidated dry well in the middle of the courtyard, and the old woman guided the two of them to climb down the dry well.
