Chapter 156 Procurement

In the early morning, the deep morning light shone on the town of Motril and the Nova Forest outside the town, and two leather-armoured, heavily armed guards rang the bronze bell at the gate of the city to announce the end of the curfew, lowered the east gate of the town, and yawned boredly.

With the sound of unhurried horses' hooves, a boy dressed in a white linen mage robe and leading an old white horse appeared outside Motril, attracting the attention of the somewhat sleepy guards.

"Oh? Dane, are you here to buy something today?"

The guards were obviously familiar with the boy, and greeted him when they saw him.

The town of Motril is located on the border of the central, southern and eastern borders of the Sassen Empire, a distance of more than 400 lands (about 500 kilometers) from Hurgana, and to the east of the town is the Nova Forest and the winding Dawa Mountains.

In the depths of this rarely developed forest and mountain range, there are many beasts and magical beasts, and countless magical plants with magical effects, so it attracts countless adventurers to stay here, and naturally there are countless caravans of chambers of commerce, which are called small towns, but the scale is not much different from some small towns.

And in the six-story tower in the Nova Forest just outside the town, there is also a mage who has escaped from the world and immersed himself in the study of mysterious magic.

The boy, Dane Pisa, was a resident of the town who was lucky enough to be tested by the mage Crilent and became his apprentice.

In the town of Motril and the surrounding area, there are more than a dozen children like him, who, in addition to learning the desirable power of magic from the mage Crylente, are also responsible for handling some trivial tasks in the mage's residence, such as regularly coming to the town to buy food, magic materials, and so on.

"Well, good morning, Uncle Cali!"

Dane greeted the guards, and walked through the wide gate into the familiar town of Motril.

As the sun rises, so does the massive Motril, and the shops lining the streets remove their door panels one by one, revealing a wide variety of goods inside.

When the guys at the store were done, they picked up their brooms and began to sweep the floor in front of the store.

In the faint morning light, the heat exhaled from their mouths and noses turned into a cloud of white mist, and the proprietor of the shop sat behind the counter in his coat, settling the cost of today's purchase with the cheap paper that had recently become popular.

He vaguely smelled the aroma of freshly baked bread from the bakery, and although he had eaten breakfast before leaving, Dane couldn't help but swallow.

In his rabbit skin purse was three gold lundes, but the money was used to buy the food and magic materials that the tower would need for the next ten years, and even if there was any leftover, it had to be returned to the tower's butler in equal amounts.

So he tried to ignore the temptation of the bread and continued on to his destination, eventually arriving at a shop with a sign painted with a six-pointed star coat of arms in the center of Motril, just off the main square.

This is the façade of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, with which the Tower has signed a supply contract decades ago, and for decades, all of the Tower's goods have been purchased through this store.

"Good morning! Gen Dane, are you in charge of the purchase today?"

Like other shops, the Eugene Chamber of Commerce's store was also busy at this point in time, and the various potion materials that had been processed from around Motril were carefully weighed and transported to the warehouse at the rear by the able-bodied Chamber of Commerce guys.

"Yes, Steward Charlie, do you have all the goods we need for our tower?"

Dane asked, taking old Mab by the hand.

"Of course, as usual, I will benefit two gold and forty-nine silver mars, the quality of the magic copper this time is quite good, and the blood of the demon beast is also very fresh, I believe that Master Crylent will be very satisfied!

But I've got some things to keep busy, Apprentice Dane, and I'll have things loaded onto the old horse later, so come and sit in the shop for a while! The latest issue of the Imperial Capital Newspaper has been published

Alright!"

Steward Charlie quickly wrote the data from the person in charge of weighing in the book, and beckoned Dan to him.

"Then please!"

It is already customary for the apprentice in charge of procurement to wait in the store when loading the goods, and when he heard the news of the "Imperial Capital Xunbao", Dan handed the reins of the old Mabulai to a fellow of the Chamber of Commerce, followed another fellow to the Chamber of Commerce, and went up to the second floor to the reception room inside the Chamber of Commerce.

In the reception room, Dann unsurprisingly saw several large sheets of paper spread out on the coffee table, which was the "Imperial Capital Xunbao", the newspaper that had recently swept the surrounding area of the imperial capital.

There is a story called "Holy Grail Wars", in which the various magic sets in it amazes many mages.

One of the Tower's apprentices happened to hear an epic poem sung by a bard on the side of the road, and then inquired about the existence of the "Imperial Capital Newspaper", and through the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, he obtained a copy of the current issue of the "Imperial Capital Newspaper" and brought it back to the Tower, and later more than a dozen apprentices in the tower were fascinated by the story.

Even their teacher, Master Crilent, occasionally read the news and the story in his spare time, and later he directly allocated a sum of money to subscribe to the annual "Imperial Capital Newspaper" through the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, and since then, everyone no longer complains about the hard work of getting up early to travel, but looks forward to it.

Because when it was their turn to go to Motril to buy, they would be able to see the latest issue of the Holy Grail War story almost half a day in advance.

In the previous eleven episodes, the storyline of "Holy Grail Wars" has progressed to the blood-boiling King's Wine Banquet.

In the castle garden of the Einsbelen family, three kings from different eras gathered to talk about their thirst for the Holy Grail.

The reason why the Sun King, Albis Ahlica, wanted to obtain the Holy Grail was to defeat the six northern kingdoms and completely free mankind from the shackles of the gods and the church, and truly embark on the road to freedom.

On the other side, Caster, who had been betrayed and burned to death by the Church for guiding his holy daughter, decided to make the kingdom ruled by the gods and the Church feel pain, and used his Noble Phantasm to summon a huge and terrifying sea demon and began to kill and destroy in Vultok with impunity.

Hundreds of lengths tall, covered in tentacles, and extremely capable of regenerating the Sea Devil worries countless readers just by describing it, and they are looking forward to how the three knights of Saber, Laer, and Rider will defeat this formidable foe.

And the author Mushroom Gu did not disappoint these readers, after a hard battle, after finding that ordinary attacks were completely ineffective against a sea demon of such size and such resilience, the three knights formulated a battle plan centered on Saber.

In response, Dilumudo broke off his treasure, the Perishable Yellow Rose, and the Rider Sun King Albis ordered his dragon companion Cromburnwell to contain the massive sea devils.

At the same time, Saber, the Knight King of Britain, used her sword of victory, the holy sword of the oath of victory, which was given to her by the elves, and the holy sword forged by the gods emitted a dazzling golden light, and the light cannon that was almost as powerful as the forbidden spell successfully reduced all the sea demons to ashes.
