Meet the principal

Sedna Grand Bazaar, the largest goods distribution market among the many demiplanes, was already a prosperous commercial and trade center during the ancient Magic Empire. Its architectural designer was the famous mage Thales 1,800 years ago. Anakshi, which has stood unscathed for nearly two thousand years, the Grand Bazaar of Sedna is outstanding even from a purely architectural point of view.

Although it looks eclectic in shape, if you look closely, you can find that the Sedna Grand Bazaar uses a large number of triangular building structures. Since triangles are the most stable shapes, they can withstand stress from all directions. In addition, Regular magical inspections and reinforcements make Sedna's Grand Bazaar more stable than ordinary buildings.

The train slowed down and slowly entered the lower level of the Grand Bazaar.

This seems to be a living area, no different from other cities on mountain peaks.

Reiner walked out of the carriage and saw the empty rail train continuing to travel into the distance. He raised his head and realized what he had ignored just now.

Originally, in this kind of layered structure, the area on the ground floor would easily encounter a problem, that is, lighting.

When he saw the structure of the big market just now, Reiner was a little confused. Although the six-story platforms were rotated to stagger them, they would eventually block the sunlight. In this way, the area in the middle would be extremely dark. Not suitable for habitation.

But unexpectedly, Reiner, who was at the bottom, still felt the dazzling direct sunlight. When he looked up, he saw a blue sky and thin white clouds.

If you observe carefully, you can find that there are several cracks in the sky, and the colors on both sides of the cracks are different. Looking at the overall situation, you can see that the sky above your head is not the real sky, but the upper platform.

However, special projection magic is applied to the bottom of the platform, which can project the sky above. In this way, sunlight can reach the lowest level after being projected many times.

"This magic was set up after the Sedna Grand Bazaar was built, so that people living on every floor can enjoy the sunshine."

Agnes explained to her two students.

"The Sedna Grand Market is divided into six floors. The lowest floor is the transportation hub and living area. Most residents live on this floor. The four floors above are the market area, which sells various commodities. The uppermost level is the administrative area, where the management organization of Sedna's demiplane is located. At the same time, it is also the area with the best scenery and the most complete preservation of the ancient Magic Empire buildings."

Their residence was on the bottom floor. After Agnes mentioned it, the group first came to the hotel located in the middle of the first floor.

In the middle of the platform, a huge stone pillar stands here, connecting the upper level. According to the introduction, this pillar is directly carved from the original mountain peak, which not only maintains the stability of the Sedna Grand Market, but also creates a When it comes to moving between platforms, the elevators can allow people to move across platforms in a short time.

And the hotel located near the core pillar will naturally not be cheap.

The decoration of this six-story building is quite exotic and magnificent. The words "Sand House" are written in exquisite fonts on the signboard, which seems to be the name of this hotel.

As soon as you walk into the hotel lobby, you can see a small fountain. In the pool, a big golden fish is spitting out water and falling into the pool.

The waiters in the lobby were all wearing dark yellow robes. At first glance, they looked like mages, but soon, Reiner could see that they were from a country in the western part of the continent where most of the country is desert, and they were in line with the style of the hotel. The name is probably because the boss likes the culture there, or maybe he is from there.

"Dear Master Mage, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

As soon as he entered the hotel, he saw a tall waiter who bowed slightly to everyone.

"You know us?"

Jane asked behind her teacher, looking at the dark-skinned waiter carefully with wide eyes.

"Of course, our Sand House will pay attention to every distinguished guest. What's more, Ms. Wildfield has been here before and has long been on our VIP list."

His words made everyone look at Agnes. Unexpectedly, this mage was also a travel enthusiast.

"Ahem, it's all business, business."

Agnes cleared her throat and brushed the matter off, then glanced at the lobby counter and asked the waiter.

"Where's your boss?"

She didn't see the maverick boss and frowned.

"My boss went upstairs to buy ingredients for tonight. He said he would be back before evening."

The waiter pointed upward. It seemed that the food source of this hotel was also the big market.

"Okay, take us to the room. I remember that I requested a separate superior room for each person. Is that okay?"

Anyway, this magic expedition team is traveling with public funds, so Agnes simply chose the most comfortable accommodation.

In this place close to the transportation hub, the price of the hotel is not cheap. Reiner saw a public price list behind the front desk. An ordinary single room costs eight silver coins a night, a double room also costs ten silver coins, and the superior room is better. , a single room costs twenty silver coins, and a magic expedition team of nine people will cost close to two gold coins, which is enough for Claire to eat twenty meals.

From this price, we can understand why this hotel is obviously right next to the core pillar and has convenient transportation, but there are still many empty rooms. After all, it is too expensive.

Although Reiner is rich, he doesn't like to spend lavishly. If it were him, he might not choose such an expensive hotel in the first place. A single room in an ordinary hotel is fine. As long as it is clean and quiet, he is not that picky.

But since Agnes has already booked the room with public funds, Reiner has nothing more to say, and the enjoyment is over.

Several people completed the check-in procedures, got the keys, and were about to take the elevator upstairs when a rough voice came from behind.

"Hey Agnes, is this the co-worker you're talking about?"

The other person had a strong desert accent, and it took Reiner a while to understand the meaning of his words.

Turning his head, Reiner saw the owner of the voice.

It was a man with a turban on his head and wheat-colored skin. His lips were slightly thicker and his eyebrows were a little red. He wore a robe in the same style as the waiter, but the color was mainly purple. There were three on the fingers of his left hand. He has a ring, another one on his right thumb, and a shiny golden chain hanging around his neck. He looks like a rich guy at first glance.

"Long time no see, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, you look good."

Agnes waved her hand and then whispered to Reiner and others.

"This is the owner of this hotel, Kareem Kap."
