Chapter 2656: Number 18 Meilong Market

Very quickly, Xia Duo controlled his avatar to arrive at Seventon. After obtaining the relevant authorization documents from the Seven Towers, he set off again, arriving at Evereska through the Permanent Teleportation Portal of the Arcane Union.

This time, his identity was not that of a Seven Towers Envoy, but rather a friend of the Netherese uncle of Misailaitiao, who had been caught in the reconnaissance team's ambush, entrusted by Uncle Misailaitiao to investigate the truth behind his nephew's death.

The Seven Towers only provided a convenience, allowing him to apply to view the previous investigation report; other things, such as protesting or issuing a mandatory order to reinvestigate, were not included.

Of course, if he could discover suspicious points in the investigation report that had not been noticed before, and convince the Seven Towers that there were problems, then the Seven Towers would certainly take action.

After all, an Arcanist had died inexplicably within the borders of Yierlan; if this matter were not cleared up, who would be willing to work for the Seven Towers in the future?

……

Arriving once again in this city that held a somewhat special significance for him, and looking at the familiar yet strange streetscape around him, Xia Duo sighed silently in his heart, then sent a Sending to Aoruipusi to ask for his location.

"Lord Territory Owner, we are at Number 18 Meilong Market; this is a new storefront the Chamber of Commerce has rented."

Xia Duo was no stranger to Meilong Market, but what surprised him was that Aoruipusi had actually managed to rent the Number 18 shop; he vaguely remembered that it had previously been a magic supply store with decent business.

Could the commercial environment in Evereska be so sluggish?

"The Mage Tower organization from the Xia Ling of the Netheril Nan Jing, the organization originating from Xia Shao—the Sword Master, Arcane Controller, Mediator of Ashofier, Destroyer of Tuokesente, and creator of the Great Xia Code."

Within the borders of Netheril, not many people addressed Xia Shao that way; the reason was complex, as the title of Destroyer was not pleasant to hear, and the destruction of that city had caused at least 700,000 casualties.

As an old-established commercial area in Evereska, let alone the Number 14 shop, even the Number 44 shop would not be easily rented by ordinary people.

"Mediator of Ashofier" referred to the feat of Xia Shao intervening in the Siluwende war, mediating between both sides at Ashofier, and finally stopping the fighting.

But among the Elves, they perhaps did not care how much he had achieved; what they truly cared about was that he actually had the determination to put his power into practice, which was very terrifying.

If one were to let their gaze linger on the position of the mark, they would find that the mark would transmit a piece of information, prompting the viewer with the meaning of the mark. The information Xia Shao received at this moment was—

This was just a most ordinary commercial area, not some minor place that determined the fate of a country or even the Northland, unless one specifically performed divination targeting this place; otherwise, under normal circumstances, it would not be divined.

Xia Duo could understand this approach, but it was indeed quite helpless. Human Chambers of Commerce were very difficult to receive respect in the Elf World, and it was impossible to receive the same treatment as Elf Chambers of Commerce.

To the Elves, Xia Shao's own name might be even more resounding!

That was obviously impossible. Ever since the Northland Alliance Headquarters settled in Evereska, plus the neutral path Evereska chose later, it had increasingly become the center of the Northland.

As the person involved, seeing this information, Xia Shao was still somewhat embarrassed. However, it was an advertisement, and the most important thing was to make a name for oneself.

Aoruipusi had put out such a title without discussing it with Xia Shao beforehand, but Xia Duo guessed that Aoruipusi doing so was to a large extent to deter local forces, so they wouldn't come looking for trouble, otherwise they would have a hard time!

The name of the Tower of Time was not unheard of in the Elf World, but at most it was not something most Elves were familiar with; they could only see it in some newspapers and magazines, but that was limited to that—they might forget it after seeing it.

After all, who would be willing to sell the goose that lays the golden eggs!

As for the Destroyer of Tuokesente, it was when Xia Duo destroyed Tuokesente, one of the seventeen main cities of Zhamu Dasi in the south; that should have been the first time a Floating City displayed pure, extreme power of destruction.

The location of Number 14 was very easy to find, right in the north district of the market; the entrance was the necessary path to the Rose Garden in the north, and further north of the Rose Garden was the Cloud Top Community.

Meilong Market was not on the ground, but spanned multiple layers; the first layer and even the underground were mainly used as warehouses, and only from the Seventh Layer up was it the true market, while the third layer was more for dining and entertainment areas.

Xia Duo felt that there might be some stories in this; I am afraid it could not be explained by Aoruipusi's mere Elf identity.

Subsequently, he walked along the main road outside the teleportation hall for a distance, then got on the Xuan Kong Budao, and after walking a short distance to the east, he arrived at Meilong Market.

The top-tier clients of all of Evereska lived there, so almost any merchant who wanted to do business in Evereska racked their brains to open a shop in the north district of Meilong Market.

When any human could be looked at squarely by an Elf, that would be the correct and reasonable time!

But few Elves called human Spellcasters "Great Ones"; it could be considered a unique title for Elves!

He mainly looked at the methods other goods used to advertise; the vast majority only had a simple sign, on which they would use Magic Permanence to create some changeable fonts or images to introduce the goods inside the shop.

At this time, the photo here had already been changed to the logo of the Void Warehouse, and at the same time, there was also the mark of the Tower of Time on it.

Arcane Controller was a title for Mages with attainments above the master level; in the Elf World, it was generally used to call high-level Mages. Of course, high-level Mages also had another title—Great One.

After roughly strolling around, Xia Duo also had a count in his heart for the subsequent goals, and very quickly he arrived at the Number 14 shop rented by Aoruipusi.

The titles mentioned in the advertisement information were all the few things Xia Shao was most widely known for in the Elf World. Sword Master referred to the time he had defeated an Elf Sword Master at the Cloud Crown Palace in Evereska.

……

Now he could indeed use this method to change the situation of the Void Warehouse Chamber of Commerce, but the improvement to the situation of other human Chambers of Commerce was negligible.

To be able to defeat a Sword Master, one must naturally be a Sword Master oneself; Sword Masters enjoyed a quite lofty reputation in the Elf World.

Or rather, it was not just Sword Masters; any existence with master-level attainments in any field could enjoy a lofty reputation, such as literary masters, sculpture masters, and so on.

In this way, Xia Shao's Cloud Pattern Announcement could at least be displayed here in Meilong Market, but that was far from enough, because Meilong Market was almost impossible to appear in any divination images.

A few would package the overall exterior of the shop, making it into something like a phantom realm, which had a unique charm.

However, after entering Meilong Market, Xia Duo did not head to the Number 14 shop immediately, but instead strolled around in every sub-district.
