Chapter 509
The Warlock Ladder had to rise again, cursing in a state of extreme agitation.
The distance was too high to hear what they were cursing, but the Dragon Liches clearly heard it, yet they had no reaction and continued to circle. When the ladder rose, they moved away a bit; when the ladder descended, they closed in. If the ladder released an airship, that would be exactly what they wanted, and they would immediately pounce on it.
Clearly, it was impossible to land safely under the interference of the Dragon Liches; not a single airship could land.
Of course, if they disregarded casualties and the airships swarmed down, they could definitely land a batch, but it wasn't necessary.
Aisha Ni breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "Fortunately, fortunately, they didn't fight. As long as they didn't fight, my money won't be deducted. But if the trade fair loses the Warlock Alliance, I guess they'll lose money, right? I hope the boss doesn't go bankrupt."
Negris asked curiously: "Who is hosting this trade fair? Was the Warlock Alliance invited? To be able to move the Warlock Alliance, it shouldn't be a small force, right? Would it go bankrupt so easily?"
Aisha Ni shrugged: "A chamber of commerce I've never heard of, I guess it can't be that big. It's called the Silver Chamber of Commerce, and the boss is a goblin..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Negris: "Pfft—Silver Chamber of Commerce? Goblin? It couldn't be that coincidental, right?"
The group, led by Aisha Ni, arrived at the venue of the trade fair and sure enough saw the worried-looking Silver Coin, surrounded by a crowd, looking up at the entanglement in the sky.
Just as they were about to walk over, two swordsmen vigilantly stopped Ang's group and said, "Sorry, the entrance is over there, please go that way."
Negris's eyes rolled, and a sense of mischief arose. It smiled and said, "No, I see the goblin who owes me money. I'm here to collect a debt." As it spoke, it pointed in the direction of Silver Coin. In that direction, there was only one goblin, Silver Coin.
The two swordsmen looked Negris up and down, and finally, their eyes fell on the pet tag on its neck. They frowned and said, "Pets are to be deposited next to the stables. Pets are not allowed inside the trade fair."
Lu Se burst out laughing, grabbed the little Golden Dragon that wanted to go on a rampage, and shouted with energy: "Lord Silver Coin, here, here."
The battle aura suppressed Lu Se's voice, transmitting it steadily to Silver Coin's location, but in other directions, one could only hear a little echo.
This superb technique of focusing sound with battle aura shocked the two swordsmen. However, they were still very responsible and drew their swords, wanting to stop Lu Se's act of disturbing the boss. But their swords were only drawn a little before they were tapped twice by Lu Se, and two strands of battle aura knocked their swords back into their scabbards.
"Battle aura leaving the body, a Sword Saint?!" The two swordsmen were shocked.
Silver Coin heard the shouting, looked back, and its eyes lit up with surprise. It hurried over with a trot: "My lords, why are you here?"
After soothing the two responsible and diligent swordsmen, Silver Coin welcomed everyone into the venue.
"Just passing by. Why are you here? Did you organize the trade fair?" Negris asked.
Among Ang's group, Anthony and Silver Coin had 'proper' jobs and were busy every day, so they were often not seen. Everyone was used to it and wouldn't look for them if they didn't see them; anyway, they would scream for help if something happened.
"That's right. In my contact with the Warlock Alliance, I discovered they have many good things. For example, their steel, steel smelted in the Void, can easily control the ratio of elements. It's as hard as you want it to be and as soft as you want it to be. The quality is very good."
"And their flying cars and airships, the performance is much better than these flying cars on the ground. The acceleration performance is strong, taking only ten-plus seconds per hundred kilometers. With a little modification, they can be sold as luxury flying cars."
"So I discussed it with them and prepared to hold a trade fair to promote some suitable products to everyone and incidentally purchase things they can use. Unfortunately, it's highly likely that it's ruined now," Silver Coin said regretfully.
Negris asked with schadenfreude: "Then will you go bankrupt?"
"Bankrupt? Why would I go bankrupt?" Silver Coin asked in confusion.
"She said so." Negris pointed at Aisha Ni.
Aisha Ni shrank her neck with a sheepish smile and greeted them. She was invited by the city, so she hadn't seen the organizer of the trade fair. If she had known the goblin of the Silver Chamber of Commerce was Silver Coin, she wouldn't have said so much.
Silver Coin looked at her suspiciously twice and asked hesitantly: "Aisha Ni?"
Silver Coin had seen Aisha Ni. When she was reborn, Silver Coin was on the side and had seen her restored to youth.
But a young body of sixteen or seventeen years old with a soul of over one hundred and thirty years old—as long as she dressed up, it could immediately make many people who weren't very familiar with her fail to recognize her.
The current Aisha Ni was dressed like a mature young lady in her thirties. Whether it was the color of her clothes, the style of her jewelry, or her hairstyle and posture, she didn't look like a teenage girl. Of course, Silver Coin had to look a few more times to recognize her.
After figuring out Aisha Ni's situation, Silver Coin immediately said: "What a coincidence, you're working for the city government now? That's a waste of talent, a waste of talent. Do you want to come to our Silver Chamber of Commerce? The treatment is excellent, and if you want to be reborn again in a hundred years, you can have priority."
Hearing the first part, Aisha Ni instinctively wanted to refuse. If she wanted to find a job, what kind of treatment couldn't she get? A sixteen-year-old Arcane Master! She didn't even dare to go to the Mage Guild to take the test now. She just casually demonstrated the level of a Great Mage and got into the city government, and for this, she even dressed up to look older.
But hearing the last sentence, Aisha Ni changed her mind instantly: "No problem, Lord Silver Coin, I'll go resign immediately." Then she turned around and ran away.
Priority for a chance at rebirth—this was more important than any treatment. Silver Coin didn't lose out either; spending money to recruit an Arcane Mage—this was something that couldn't be recruited with money in any plane. For a mage of this level, making money was too easy.
Profit! Silver Coin rubbed its hands happily and returned to the previous topic: "How could I lose money? You're insulting me. I signed a contract with the Warlock Alliance, and there are constraints for this situation. If they can't participate in the fair on time, they have to compensate me. Anyway, I won't lose money, but it's just not as profitable as if it had been successfully opened."
Having said this, Silver Coin seemed to remember something and said: "By the way, I specially set up a Strange Seed Competition in the corner of the fair, preparing to collect some peculiar seeds for my lord. I originally wanted to collect them all before giving them to my lord. Now that you're here, do you want to go to the scene and take a look?"
This had become a habit of Silver Coin. Every time it arrived in a new place, it would collect local specialty seeds. If it really couldn't find new ones, it would think of new ways.
The competition was a new way. Just like the Grain Seed Assembly, it would evaluate a series of good seeds and new seeds and give high bonuses. Naturally, people would scour the world for seeds, and even cultivate them themselves. As long as the quantity was large, it would always be able to collect seeds that Ang liked.
loubiqu.
Negris rolled its eyes at him irritably: "You've already said it, can we not go? Can Ang still move his legs?"
Sure enough, Ang, who had been listless along the way because he couldn't reach into his space to plant vegetables, now had his eyes wide open, eager to move. If they didn't leave, he would be urging them.
Led by Silver Coin, the group entered a corner of the venue. Just as they got close, they heard a voice shouting: "Tree rice, tree rice! Rice growing on a tree, have you seen it? Have you seen it? This champion strange seed, nobody is allowed to fight me for it!"
