That's a fake elf

"What happened?" Lei Lei looked at the frowning Li Ang and asked with confusion.

"I received a commission from the Druid Temple to protect a girl, but because she had just been kidnapped, she doesn't trust other strangers."

Li Ang smiled bitterly and said:

"I originally thought that she would trust Diona more, so I left her in the hotel without worries, but I didn't expect that she actually ran away."

The assassination he encountered last night has made Li Ang deeply understand that Xiongyue City is now a big whirlpool, and if he is not careful, he will be shattered into pieces.

It was too dangerous for Keli to be alone outside at this time. No matter what, he had to find her as soon as possible.

"Do you have that child's personal belongings?" Lei Lei frowned and asked softly.

"Diona?" Li Ang looked at Kitten Girl.

"Yes, yes, I haven't dealt with the clothes that Keli changed out yet." After saying this, Diona ran to the backyard in a panic. Not long after, she ran there holding a ball of wrinkled clothes. In front of Thunder:

"Can you take a look at this?"

"This kid looks like he's underage, but you didn't stop him?" Lei Lei looked at his clothes for a while, looking surprised.

"Keli just looks young, but she is actually older than me. She is a night elf and can become invisible at night, so we can't stop her at all."

Diona's ears instantly drooped and she said listlessly.

"If it's a night elf, it's really difficult to stop it. Without skills like reconnaissance, it's probably hard to even find traces."

The genie of the lamp lay behind Lei Ting and said with a smile:

"It's going to be dawn soon. When there are more people, she will find an inconspicuous place like a cat. It will be harder for you to find her in Xiongyue City."

"What should we do?" Diona said in panic.

"Finding the missing is what we are good at. Since you helped us twice before, we won't charge you money this time." The Deng Shen turned his head and looked at Li Ang, saying with confidence.

"..." Li Ang was speechless.

"Mr. Li Ang, don't worry. My sister is a white witch and is proficient in divination and stargazing. With this medium, we should be able to locate the child's approximate location very quickly." Lei Lei took the clothes in Diona's hands and said.

"Thank you." Li Ang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"In this case, Diona should also help. After all, I am also responsible for Keli's disappearance." Kitten Girl became energetic and said quickly.

"You? No problem?" Li Ang looked suspicious.

"Don't underestimate Diona. Diona's friends are all over the streets of Pegliano. As long as they determine the approximate location of Keli, they will definitely be able to help."

Kitten Girl took out a whistle and blew it. The kittens who were sleeping in the hotel suddenly jumped up and quickly gathered at Kitten Girl's feet, like an army with orders and prohibitions.

"Take her with you. The prophecy technique can only locate a rough location, but if you want to search accurately, her ability is really useful." The Djinn glanced at Kitty Girl, with a smile on his face.

"Then let's go together."

. . . . . . . . . . .

The western part of Pegliano is backed by the Elpuna River and has a natural water transportation channel, so many businessmen and workers choose to buy or rent houses here.

Before dawn, workers were already seen and seen on the pier, and smoke was rising from some breakfast shops.

Not long after, carriages filled with goods began to deliver various supplies to this huge city.

Lei Lei, who walked into the association with Li Ang and Diona, knocked on the table and woke up the dozing brown-haired girl.

"Catherine."

"Eh, Thunder? I'm not lazy. It's only 6 o'clock, and it's not business hours yet!" Catherine wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth in a panic, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the clock in the lobby.

"Be careful about your image next time. If the branch president sees you like this, I'm afraid he will make you wash the toilet for a month." Lei Lei glared at Catherine angrily.

"understood."

Catherine yawned, dealt with it casually, then turned her eyes to Leon and Diona, her eyes lit up:

"Welcome to the Merchant Association, how can I help you?"

"Okay, they're not here to find you." Lei Lei frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Hey, just because it won't happen now, doesn't mean it won't happen in the future."

Catherine said with enthusiasm:

"This gentleman, you can tell at a glance that he is not simple."

"Clothes made of moon-patterned cloth, shawls tanned by the fur of the Storm Wolf King, and accessories made of lapis lazuli and diamonds are all treasures. Generally, only some top nobles are qualified to wear them."

"Now the Merchant Association is holding an event where old people lead new ones. You are brought here by Lei Lei. If you are willing to become our member, you can enjoy free handling fees within one year."

"In addition, we also give away..."

"That's enough, now is not the time for you to recommend business to them. Where is my sister?" Veins popped up on Lei Lei's forehead.

"She is probably sleeping in her room at this time!"

"Ask her to come to the workshop. I need her help with something." Lei Lei nodded to Li Ang, and then walked towards a room in the southeast corner of the association.

"Hey, hey, are you sure? She's angry when she wakes up. If she doesn't get enough sleep, it's easy to cause accidents when casting spells."

"I'm sure, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm still asking, does this gentleman really not consider becoming our member? There will be no membership fee for the first year!"

"Catherine!"

"Ah ah, I know, I know, go and call now."

. . . . . . . . . . .

From the outside, the room seems to be only a dozen square meters, but once you enter, it is over a hundred square meters. It is not only filled with props required for various mysterious rituals, but also scattered with a large number of elemental crystals and precious potion materials.

"Wow, this...this is meteor grass, dragon snake orchid, yacon...all are the ingredients that winemakers dream of!" Diona said in shock:

"If I have these materials, I will definitely be able to brew a wine that even the gods will praise and become a legendary winemaker."

"Diona, these are stored here by my sister's friend. If you are interested in them, you can discuss it with their owner later." Lei Lei grabbed Diona who wanted to touch the potted plants and quickly explained.

"Oh!" Diona looked at the plants in the pot eagerly, her eyes sparkling.

"Thunder, is this room filled with space magic? I seem to have seen many similar ones just now?"

Li Ang looked around the room, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Well, the Merchant Association branch in Xiongyue City was funded and built by Miss Sindra, the president of the Ice Mist Flower Chamber of Commerce, who is also the North District Director of the Merchant Association. The rooms you just saw are the same as this one. .”

Lei Lei nodded and said with a smile:

"A room like this only costs 50-200 gold coins a month to rent."

"For those mages and nobles who don't have enough money to buy land and hire guards, this is completely good news for them."

"Many Pegliano nobles who want their children to become priests will rent a room for their children to use as a meditation room, even if they are frugal."

"..." Li Ang was speechless.

Not all land is suitable for a mage's workshop.

As a place for mages to meditate and experiment, the workshop has very high requirements for earth veins. It is usually either on the dragon vein node or near the dragon vein node.

These places are often occupied by temples.

Therefore, even a few hundred square meters of high-quality land will often be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins.

The land occupied by the merchant association is a piece of Chongling land close to the Holy Church, and its ownership is in the hands of the royal family of Pegliano.

Originally, the merchants' association had to pay a large rent to the royal family of Peliano every year, but now this fee has been turned around by the merchants and re-grafted to the nobles of Peliano.

As for whether the nobles are willing to pay this money, the answer is of course yes.

Because if conditions permit, no one wants their children to be weaker than children from other families.

"Ah, sister, why did you wake me up so early? I just fell asleep after reading a novel all night last night!" While Li Ang was still thinking, a girl's voice appeared at the door.
