Most Northland witches have special prophecy and divination abilities.

This often gives them a very amazing intuition and can also vaguely feel the future fragments. For example, after only one day, Sauron found that the city in the North seemed to be preparing for war, and it seemed that it had been in progress for a while. The food, weapons, important materials, etc. here are now all managed by the chambers under the High Witch Council. Compared with the lateness of other places, the North's reaction is still quite swift.

Sauron is also calculating the time when the turbulent year begins!

At the latest, the first batch of gods and saints will appear around October this year. It is almost February. Whoever can better deal with the turbulent times in the future depends on the eight months of preparation. Because once the war between gods begins, various divine powers will rage in the mortal world, and it will be difficult to produce at that time. In addition, the abyss demons invade the material plane, and the purgatory demons are sowed around, and the resources of the entire material plane will become in short supply.

Sauron has been hoarding food, and Viper Island is now almost becoming a big granary!

It can be said that the price of grain on the South Coast has basically increased by more than 50% due to its large-scale acquisitions, and the price of grain continues to rise, and it is estimated that it will more than double in about March.

The next day at noon.

The pirates under Sauron brought back a message that the fleet he ordered had reached the Deepwater Port, but because he was afraid of Soren's force, the Deepwater Port refused to let Soren's fleet dock and also urgently informed the High Witch Council. If it weren't for the identity of Golia here, the High Witch Council would have directly expelled Soren's fleet. The stronger the strength, the more eye-catching it. Soren ordered the fleet brought over to capture a port city, so in the end, even if Golia was in the fleet, he could not dock.

"Just let them park at the near sea estuary."

Sauron took the north topographic map and took a look. He clicked at one of the locations, and then ordered: "Transfer the first batch of things back first. I am discussing a transaction with the Witch Council during this period, which may be two days later."

The one-eyed dragon standing in front of Sauron bowed and said, "Don't worry, I will transport the first batch of things onto the ship now."

Soon, the One-Eyed Dragon left with a group of people.

Sauron stood in front of the balcony of the Wizard Tower and looked at the departing caravan, then turned around and walked towards the laboratory. Golia, who entered the research state, seemed very busy. They didn't get close to each other in the past two days. Because Golia was very busy, Sauron was very busy. Souron has never been a pretentious person. Since he had such an intimate relationship with Golia, it would be quite stupid to not use her relationship to seek opportunities to cooperate with the Witch Council.

The Witch Council has quite a lot of resources!

And they also have something that Sauron is very scarce, that is, a large number of extraordinary equipment.

By the way.

Any wizard-like alliance parliament is engaged in high-value arms trade, including alchemy weapons, extraordinary equipment, puppet golems, etc. This kind of trade is difficult to buy if it doesn't matter.

The heavy footsteps of the clay golem sounded!

The dull sound of the clay golem came from behind Sauron, and it spoke, "Oh, a wizard named Saruman wants to see you."

Saruman?

When he heard the name, Sauron was slightly stunned.

Then he remembered that he had mentioned to Goria in his letter that he needed a wizard who was proficient in alchemy and could refine struvite in large quantities into high-quality fertilizer. Goria mentioned to Sauron yesterday that someone would come to see him today. However, he did not say his name. Unexpectedly, it was called Saruman, which is not common in the North.

He thought he had heard it wrong!

Upon hearing this, Sauron nodded softly and said, "I get it. Take him in."

soon.

Then a clay golem came in with a male wizard who was quite old. He had a gray beard and looked quite old, but his wizard profession level was not high, about 10. This means that his talent was not very good. Not all wizards could make great progress. Many wizards were stuck at the threshold of the third level for their entire lives. Otherwise, Goria had only had the strength of about 4 levels before, and she could become a member of the High Witch Council.

There are also many male wizards under the Northland Witch Council, and Saruman in front of him is one of them!

He should be quite old.

Even if he did not use the special ritual to prolong his life, his face was almost sixty or seventy years old. Sauron was observing the old wizard in front of him, and the other party was also observing Sauron. From any point of view, this was a wizard who could never advance to legendary power. Although he was well-dressed, he looked a little messy and outdated, his eyes were tired and blood-filled. It seemed that he had not had a good rest for a long time. He could see a part of the defect on his staff, but it did not look like he was repaired.

As Golia said, this is a wizard who is very tight on his hands and has a little down-and-out life!

The wizard is very rich.

But many times they are short of money, and even the funds that Gloria can move in her hands may not be as much as one-third of Sauron’s!

Otherwise, the girl wouldn't have left more than 30,000 Jindlers from Soren when she was intimate last night.

She needs a lot of expensive alchemy materials!

Anyone who has managed trade knows that the proportion of working capital is actually quite tight. If Sauron hadn't done a business without capital, he would probably not have been as abundant as he is now.

Such a wizard happens to be what Sauron needs!

Because wizards with too promising potential are not easy to control, wizards with advanced potential may not be willing to work under Sauron.

It just so happens that this kind of wizard profession is not high, and it is not young at the same time. He may not have much ambition to advance to legends. At the same time, he has a lot of alchemy experience, the kind of subordinates that Sauron needs.

"Before they came, they should have told you about the incident?"

Sauron looked at the old wizard named Saruman in front of him and said slowly: "Your job in the next three years is to serve me. I will pay you 12,000 Jindlers a year, and you can also pay the price to exchange spells, knowledge, and materials from Goria. She will give you higher authority."

The wizard's debts are allocated layer by layer.

The expensive cost of spell learning must be distributed to middle and low-level wizards in the end, otherwise the cost of cultivating high-level wizards would be too amazing.

The time for Sauron was three years.

Three years is enough for him. At that time, the wizard in front of him will stay if he is willing to stay. If he is unwilling to stay, he will get out if he is unwilling to stay.

It should be no problem for a wizard like this who has no possibility of upgrading to a legend. An An-Standard will give him a year or two to work.

"Can."

The old wizard named Saruman looked at Sauron. He was a little confused about the other party's identity, because Sauron looked like a wizard, but was obviously as sharp as a wanderer. This might be a part-time adventurer. He bowed his head slightly and leaned over to express his respect. From any angle, Sauron could stand in the wizard tower and talk to him, his status was undoubtedly higher. The middle and lower wizards basically maintained respect for the high-level wizards.

He nodded slowly and said, "According to the contract, I will go to the Overseas Islands to work for you for three years. You will pay me 12,000 Jindlers a year. After three years, I can decide on my own whether I will stay or not."

Sauron glanced at him and replied, "Yes."

"If there is no problem, just set up the contract. You can prepare it. We will set off in three days."

Hiring a wizard is expensive.

Although Galia also knows alchemy, she definitely cannot convert struvita into fertilizer.

Saruman in front of him was also a wizard who knew alchemy. Goria said that he had a good level of alchemy, and such a thing should not be a problem for him.

When high-quality fertilizers are produced, Sauron will have one more way of wealth, and farming in overseas archipelagos will also rise strongly.

Basically, self-sufficiency will be easy.

Because of Goria, Sauron was not worried that the wizard in front of him would play any tricks, so he readily paid half a year. Anyway, after killing the adult White Dragon, his value increased a lot. He had a lot of money in his hands, and goods from the East were easy to get rid of in the Northland. The witches had no way to refuse exquisite silk and porcelain. No matter in any era, women's consumption potential was quite amazing. These rich witches bought them casually and sold them for more than 100,000 Jindler's sales.

There are not many things that can be taken away in the Wizard Tower.

Because although Golia manages this wizard tower, it is not her private property.

……………………

Hiring an alchemist is only part of Sauron's plan.

In addition, he also needs a batch of extraordinary weapons to arm his elite guards. The limit that the South Coast can buy is military weapons forged by Seiko. This weapon is still quite different from first-level extraordinary equipment. Sauron wants to buy more than 100,000 first-level extraordinary weapons worth Jindler from the Witch Council at one time to arm his pirate army. This +1 extraordinary weapon can only be equipped with the elite army on land, so whether it can be bought depends on Goria's voice.

This big arms deal must be approved by the Witch Council!

According to the current market price, the price of a first-level extraordinary weapon is about 200 Jindlers. This time, Soren is preparing to purchase equipment that arms 500 elite troops.

The elite troops in a small city may not have such high armed equipment.
