The priestess hurriedly ordered her subordinates to prepare the carriage and brought Feng Chou east along the main road north of the dock.
To the east of Manta Harbor, which was the depth of Manta Bay, was the location of the Manta Harbor naval port. There were also several regiments of elite female Amazons stationed in the north of the military port. In the eyes of the Amazons, this place was the center of Manta Harbor.
As the new governor of Manta Harbor, Princess Nala's palace was between the military port and the army barracks.
The governor's mansion looked more like a fortress. It had a solid stone wall, and on each section of the stone wall, there was a defensive stone tower that protruded out of the wall.
Inside the walls was a huge square stone building. From that building, you could see all the characteristics of Amazonian architecture: rough, solid, simple, and unadorned.
The south gate of the governor's palace was only separated from the Manta Harbor by a main road, while the north gate was deep into the Manta Army's barracks.
Priestess Ella took Feng Chou straight to the south gate of the governor's palace along the main road of the port. The guards of the governor's palace obviously recognized Ella and her carriage and quickly let them go.
Between the square fortress inside the governor's palace and the outer wall, there were some simple and sturdy barracks. The rest of the place was a large open area. Judging from the archery targets and other equipment placed in the open space, these places were obviously the training grounds of the governor's palace guards.
The carriage stopped outside the south gate of the square fortress inside the governor's palace. Priestess Ella took Feng Chou into the fortress and asked Feng Chou to wait for her in a reception room not far from the gate.
There were also Amazons in charge of entertaining guests in the reception room, but with the usual discrimination of the Amazons against men, no one came to greet Feng Chou. Fortunately, no one came to harass him. It seemed that the seventh princess's guards had good military discipline.
Ten minutes later, Priestess Ella returned to the reception room and took Feng Chou through a huge hall. They went up the stairs in the corner of the hall to the third floor of the building. The two came to a heavily guarded gate in the middle of the third floor.
After the guard went in to report, he motioned for the two to enter.
Inside the gate was a huge hall. On the central axis of the back of the hall, there was a high platform with a huge throne on it. There were several people standing on both sides of the throne.
Judging from their attire, four of the five people on the left were Master-level storm priests. The remaining one was wearing a blue robe without armor, which was very rare among the Amazons.
Qiankun Pagoda told Feng Chou that this was a level 18 mage.
There were nine people standing on the right side of the throne, all master Amazons.
Next to the throne stood a tall middle-aged female Amazon warrior. In Feng Chou's perception, the woman seemed to be shrouded in a terrible storm, giving him a sense of danger that made him shudder. When Qiankun Pagoda told him that his scan could not get close to the woman, Feng Chou had already determined that she should be a legendary female Amazon warrior.
Sitting on the throne was a tall red-haired woman. Unlike most of the rough Amazons, this red-haired woman had a delicate and beautiful face with an exuberant heroic spirit. She had a noble temperament and beautiful and wise eyes.
When he saw the appearance of the woman on the throne, Feng Chou was even lost for a moment. In terms of appearance and temperament, among the women that Feng Chou had seen, only the High Elf Princess Orantia could be compared to this woman in front of him.
Ella walked up to the throne and bowed. She pointed to Feng Chou and said, "Princess, this is the northern continent's merchant that I was talking about."
Feng Chou took off his hat and bowed to the princess on the throne.
Princess Nala looked at Feng Chou for a moment and asked, "I heard that you're willing to use three thousand sets of + 5 level suits to exchange for all the senior-rank arcana materials and master arcana materials of 'alchemy' and 'evocation'?
“”
Feng Chou said, "In addition, I have six ships of goods that can be sold to your Chamber of Commerce."
Princess Nala said, "As a sorcerer, you should know that the trade of arcana materials must be signed by a god or a devil to prevent the materials from being leaked to a third party."
Feng Chou said, "Of course I know, and I'm also willing to sign a contract with a devil."
Princess Nala looked at Feng Chou and frowned. She did not seem to understand why he wanted to buy a full set of senior-rank arcana materials if not to enrich his magic library.
Once the confidentiality agreement was signed, these materials could only be read by Feng Chou alone and could not be shared. Naturally, they could not be used to enrich his magic library or to train other sorcerers.
However, Princess Nala did not dwell on this matter for too long. As long as the other party was willing to sign the confidentiality agreement, the conditions he offered were quite generous. She had no reason to refuse.
Thinking of this, Princess Nala said, "Okay, I agree to your request. When our trade is completed and I get the three thousand sets of + 5 level suits that you promised, I'll take you to the arcana tower and you'll get the materials you need."
Feng Chou said, "Of course, Your Excellency, it's not that I don't trust you, but this trade is really too important for me.
So, I think we should sign a devil's contract to guarantee that you can get the three thousand sets of + 5 level suits and I can get the arcana materials I want. "
Feng Chou's obviously distrustful request immediately angered the princess's vassals. Several irascible Amazon warriors could not help but scold him.
Princess Nala did not seem to be surprised by Feng Chou's request. She smiled helplessly, waved her hand to stop her subordinates' scolding, and said, "As you wish."
At this time, the legendary female Amazon warrior, who had been standing motionless beside the throne, finally spoke. "Nala, this is not worth the risk."
Princess Nala looked at the legendary female warrior and said, "Teacher Prothor, if we don't intend to break the contract, there won't be any danger, right?"
The legendary female warrior still objected. "But what if the queen doesn't allow your trade?
We don't have the final say about the arcana tower. "
Princess Nala smiled. "Mother will agree. Can she refuse the temptation of a thousand + 5 level suits?
It doesn't matter if she can refuse. If a thousand is not enough, then 1,500.
Even if I can't persuade her in the end, it doesn't matter. We'll return the three thousand sets to her, won't it not be a breach of the contract?
As long as it's clearly stated in the contract that the contract can only be established if we take her things. "
At this point, the princess looked at the only Amazon below who did not have a ship armor and said, "We still have Master Antie. She's very good at this."
The legendary female warrior thought for a moment and finally nodded.
Seeing the legendary female warrior nod, the others no longer objected.
Master Antie quickly drew up the contract. Feng Chou looked at the contract, and after Qiankun Pagoda confirmed that there were no loopholes, Feng Chou nodded and returned the contract to the other party.
The archmage simply set up a sealing circle and quickly summoned the projection of a lesser demon lord.
The contract was fair and went smoothly. When the demon's projection left, Feng Chou also bid farewell to the princess. He was going to lead the other six merchant ships to Manta Harbor.
Four days later, Feng Chou led the Pioneer Knight and Warrior, as well as four other armed merchant ships to Manta Harbor.
Under Alcapar's guidance, the six merchant ships arrived at the private harbor belonging to the princess' merchant group.
This time, even the princess was waiting for him at the private harbor. Jing was not surprised. He knew that the princess had used a spatial magic item.
However, to be able to hold so many large boxes, the princess' spatial item was probably a high-grade spatial item with a volume of over a thousand cubic meters.
After putting away the magical equipment, the princess hurriedly said goodbye.
In the next ten days, Priestess Ella put together a lot of effort but still could not gather enough southern specialties to exchange for Feng Chou's six new ships of goods.
This was because Feng Chou had brought too many goods this time. The total value of the seven ships' goods was almost a billion crowns. With the financial resources of the princess' merchant group, it was difficult to gather so many goods on their own.
In the end, the princess joined forces with many other merchant groups to buy Feng Chou's goods.
Feng Chou had also been waiting patiently at the Seventh Princess' private pier.
