In a golden bedroom, a middle-aged man in a gold silk nightgown sits quietly on the edge of the bed, staring at a letter in his hand and frowning in contemplation. The letter contained only a few simple sentences, unencrypted, and scribbled.

This bedroom is spacious and bright, much larger than the living room of the general villa, the main decoration material of the whole bedroom is pure gold, there are countless complex and deep lines and textures all over the gold, and the links between the geometric figures are placed with various colored gemstones, and there are some faintly visible crystals flowing in it from time to time.

Obviously, this decoration is not just for the sake of beauty, although gold is a relatively common magical material for magicians, but it is for drawing circles with gold thread on arcane stone or magical parchment. And using pure gold instead of arcane stones as the base of the magic array, except for the high-level leaders of the magic councils of various countries, there are only those ** masters

Gold's magic conduction is very good, and it is relatively ordinary and common compared to those rare and abnormal magic superconducting materials, so some super-large magic arrays are often paved with gold, which is also the main reason why gold coins are used as circulating currency, and it is an indispensable thing in magical civilization.

The Plane Teleportation Array engraved by the Pillar of the Void required hundreds or even thousands of tons of pure gold to be poured on the pedestal alone, and the gold content of a quicksand gold kronor was about 5 grams, and these gold could mint more than 200 million Imperial Gold Coins. And this only accounts for less than one-fifth of the cost of materials in the dimensional teleportation facility, so the high price of dimensional teleportation is not affordable for ordinary people, unless you learn the universal legendary magic - the gate of the world, you can save this money. However, since the Gates of the World cannot be engraved in the soul, some wealthy Legendary Spellcasters will still choose the teleportation network of the Pillars of the Void in their hurry.

A knock on the door interrupted the middle-aged man's musings, his brow furrowed, and the letter in his hand was blown away into dust by a gust of wind, "Come in, Sergey." As soon as he finished speaking, the geometric lines on the golden border of the bedroom door flickered at the same time, and the door automatically retreated and opened.

Sergei cautiously walked in, although he had just become a ninth-level high-level mage, he was even more frightened when he entered his boss's bedroom, and as his mental power increased, he felt the danger of those gold decorations around him more deeply than ever.

As for his boss, Sergei only knew that he was born in the Andean United Emirate, south of the United States of Commerce, and it was not clear which tribe Sergei was.

The land area of Andes is more than twice the size of the United States, and its geographical location is near the middle line between the north and south of the pan-continent, and the country is full of swamps, not to mention cities, and even slightly larger villages need magic to solidify the foundation, so most of that place is a village where tribes gather, and it can be said that it is the most backward country in the pan-continent. However, due to their long association with dangerous and powerful swamp creatures, bloodline people are quite common among the Andeans, and many of them have strange abilities that are very well adapted to the harsh environment full of poisonous miasma.

Because the Andes is rich in some rare magical beast resources, although the magical civilization is backward, it is not poor, and the village can earn a good income only by hunting domesticated swamp creatures every year.

In fact, the Andes can be much richer, but unfortunately it is next to the most powerful country in the Anphalong Supreme Plane to the east, the Emma Golden Empire, which has even fought several plane wars with the Roy Elemental Empire. Under the half-coercive and half-threatening monopoly of Golden Emma, the Andean Warcraft resources basically flowed into Emma at a low price.

It wasn't until decades ago that a young man from the United Andean Emirates visited the Ciero Chamber of Commerce and brought samples of various Andean specialties, and the Chamber of Commerce was very cautious about it at first, because the influence of the Golden Emma in Anfaron was too great, and Ziero did not dare to face the diplomatic pressure of that ancient empire.

After quietly settling a small smuggling deal, Ziero discovered that the goods that circulated to them did not affect the annual turnover of Andean and Emma, and the Chamber of Commerce was keenly aware that the young man might have his own unique source of goods, and that the Andean chiefs might not know where these goods came from

Since then, the Swamp's specialties have been circulating outside of Emma for the first time, appearing on the black market through various hidden channels. Emma is also powerless to interfere with the underground trade of other countries, and as long as it does not affect the amount of resources imported from the Andes, she does not want to delve into it.

Although the person who facilitated these high-value smuggling deals was not made public, Sergei was fully aware that he was his boss, Olikham.

With these smuggled goods slipping out from under Emma's nose, Olicum became one of the majority shareholders of the Ziero Chamber of Commerce. Sergei has been following the boss since he was just becoming a full-fledged mage, and he has won the trust of Orichum, and with the support of the boss's massive resources, he was able to advance to the ninth level.

"Boss, what is it worth your time to take your lunch break to tell me personally?" Sergei saluted respectfully, decades have passed, and he has become a little old. Oliver has also changed from a teenager to a steady mature man, but since the first day he has been with him, the title of boss has not changed.

"Sergey, you're already a high-ranking member of the United States Magic Council. Olicum said, looking at his loyal subordinates.

"Yes, I've been able to access a lot of the Council's top secrets since becoming a ninth-level mage. Sergei said with a general feeling that the boss had placed him on the board of directors and did not expect him to develop much. In addition to the cultivation of the boss, there is also his own unremitting efforts to get to this point.

Olicum nodded, and he said slowly, "Do you know why I paid a high price to furnish the bedroom like this?"

Before his subordinate could reply, he continued, "Because I am insecure, I can't sleep without this."

Sergei sighed sadly, he could guess that his boss must have experienced some kind of unforgettable fear as a child. On more than one occasion before, Orick had woken up from his dreams in a hurry, and it was not until he had enough wealth to furnish such a bedroom that his sleep became restless.

"If you can get this right, then I'll be able to sleep better. Olicham said with a smile.

"In the next week, a group of people will be teleported from the United Andean Emirates to the Principality of Borati, and they will have to transit through the Bangala Teleportation Array. If one of them is a young girl with a purple diamond mark on her forehead that cannot be concealed, you can change the coordinates to this. With that, he picked up a pen and paper on the bedside table, quickly wrote a coordinate and handed it to Sergey. "This is the coordinates of a temporary teleportation array, and it can only be used once. Spatial fluctuations are not the same as fixed teleportation arrays, and if they detect them, you can block them. ”

Sergei took it, and he felt that the thin sheet of paper was a little heavy. "How do you explain to the Chamber of Commerce and the Magic Council?" the consequences of doing so would be enough for him to pay with his life.

"There's no need to explain, whether you succeed or fail, you have to leave the Magic Council immediately, and I will explain it to the Chamber of Commerce. Olicham waved his hand lazily.

Sergei memorized the coordinates and then burned the paper. He saluted respectfully and was about to leave. Oricum said behind him, "But I can't always shelter you, Sergei, in the end you still have to rely on your own strength, and after doing this, I will support you to study at the Pillar of the Void." ”

"Thank you for your generosity" Sergey turned his head and saluted again, and the corners of his eyes were even a little moist. The cost of the Void Pillar's further education is extremely high, even for the rich, it is a huge amount of money, and meeting such a boss is already the greatest luck in his life.

After a long day of carriage climbing along the crowded main road, Heras finally saw the complex of the headquarters of the Magical Council of the United States, which compared to the solemn mystery of the headquarters of the Magical Council of the United States, it looked like a random stack of abstract artworks, grotesque and new. None of the tall towers with spires were upright, the corners of the buildings were all curved at will, and the facades were undulating like waves. Even the window sills on it are made of twisted glass and frames. The person in charge of each tower made the building as he thought it was trendy, and one of the towers was even lying on the ground next to each other, and the crowds coming and going inside could tell that it was not collapsing, but that it was built on purpose.

"Only the United States would have such a thing, and if any country's council dared to play like this, it would be light to dismiss the president on the same day," Heras's eyelids twitched a few times as he looked at the buildings that seemed to be distorted by time and space.

The United States' Council of Magic is undoubtedly the most autonomous of any nation, and in a loose and chaotic realm, no one cares what they do, as long as it doesn't get in the way of other people's financial resources.

Getting up and leaving the carriage, Heras threw the coachman a gold coin and was about to leave. The coachman shouted from behind, "Sir, one gold coin is not enough, and you need thirteen silver coins!"

When Sally heard this, her eyes immediately widened. "It's a gold coin!" she called out to the coachman.

"This is the beautiful elf lady of Bangara. The coachman spread his hands innocently.

Heras was also a little surprised, as it seemed that the price level in the city was far higher than he expected. But it's understandable that there are rich people everywhere, and not many of them are willing to endure the crowds. Demand determines the market

After tossing the coachman another gold coin, Heras made his way up the steps of the Council of Magic. After a while, he noticed that Sally didn't know where to run, and the dense flow of people around him blocked his view. After standing and watching for a while, Heras wanted to leave on his own, anyway, he brought her to Bangala, and it shouldn't be a problem for her to survive in a regular tavern here.

As soon as he tried to fend for the elf, he saw Sally squeeze out of the crowd, trott up to him, and said, "Give it to me if you don't want it, don't waste it!" Sometimes I have to deal with several guests to earn this money," and she shoved the money into her bosom.
