Chapter 559 Key?
City of Armandu,
As the holy city of the Church of the God of War, a large part of the God of War believers gathered in Amandu City are extraordinary professionals, among whom the largest number are adventurers.
In the Western Desert, a land with more chaos, the people living here are more tough and tough compared to the people in the central and eastern part of the Fanor continent. The God of War, who advocates war and strength, also has the most believers in the Western Desert. God.
It is also because of this reason that adventurers from all over the desert come to Amandu City for pilgrimage every day. The number of extraordinary professionals in Amandu City is also the largest in the Western Desert.
With so many extraordinary professionals gathering in Amandu City, it is natural that there are many markets dedicated to extraordinary professionals in Amandu City. Adventurers trade adventure earnings and extraordinary items in these markets, and exchange what they need. .
The Church of the God of War is happy to see this happen. As long as those extraordinary professionals abide by the rules they set and do not offend the majesty of the God of War, they will let it go.
After all, this is also beneficial to the Church of the God of War, making Amandu City the most prosperous and sacred city in the Western Desert in many people's minds.
The God of War Karis is different from other gods. This great being does not care about the so-called ascetic practice, and there are no similar requirements for believers in the doctrine.
Instead, they advocate limited indulgence of desires and more intense and powerful battles.
In the city of Amandu, there is even a flesh and blood business, which shows what kind of style the Church of God of War is like.
Li Si stood in Cass Street in Armandu City. This is the busiest market in Armandu City. It is half a city away from the Church of the God of War. There is almost no place to stay amid the crowds of people.
This broad and lively market street stretches like a giant dragon, and the densely packed stalls on both sides look like two gorgeous ribbons, inlaid with countless bright gems. The sun shines through the gaps between the densely packed but well-proportioned stalls, giving this bustling place a golden glow.
On one side of the road, vendors shouted loudly, and their voices intertwined into a vibrant market symphony. People shuttled back and forth, bargaining, and carefully selecting the items of their choice.
The stalls are filled with a wide variety of products, ranging from daily necessities to rare treasures. The fresh fruits are piled into hills and are colorful; the delicate gold shines with a warm luster in the sun; and the spices from far away countries exude an alluring fragrance, attracting passers-by to stop.
But what is more eye-catching, and the most numerous in the market, are the extraordinary items and props on the stalls.
Countless monster furs were spread out in some stalls, some were covered with strange patterns, and some shone with a metallic luster. The lost traders surrounding the fur stalls came from all over the world.
Some stalls are filled with vials of various shapes, containing colorful potions. Some can heal serious injuries, while others can temporarily increase physical strength, or be used to deal with various abnormal environments. These are all adventurers' An indispensable auxiliary item for adventure.
The weapons and equipment area is even more lively, with all kinds of swords, shields, bows and arrows, and staffs arranged in an orderly manner. Each piece emits a different light, some are cold and cold, and some emit a jade-like light. Glossy color.
Li Si was wandering around the market. The equipment or alchemy potions that were important to adventurers had little appeal to him.
The potions and equipment he made with his own hands were of much better quality than those sold at these stalls.
His attention was focused on the more special stalls in the market.
Those stalls selling the harvest from exploring the ruins!
Buried under the endless yellow sand of the Western Desert are those countries and city-states from countless years ago. No one knows how many once-glorious existences are still sleeping under this vast desert.
As the years go by, new ruins will reappear in the world from time to time and be discovered by people.
Although the countries and people that once existed have passed away, the wealth they created has not disappeared but remains.
This also makes those adventurers who are keen on exploration willing to go deep into the western desert to find those lost ruins.
As long as you find a ruin that has not yet been explored, it may represent wealth that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Gold, jewelry, and all kinds of otherworldly items may be found in these desert ruins.
There have always been stories circulating in the Western Desert about adventurers discovering a ruins and becoming rich, which has attracted countless people to explore the Western Desert.
This is why even though the environment in the Western Desert is so harsh, there are still a large number of adventurers coming here.
Among adventurers, there are quite a few people who believe in Karis, the God of War.
In order to obtain more news and intelligence related to the ruins, and to sell the treasures obtained from the ruins, Amandu City has become the best choice for these adventurers.
The Church of the God of War does not prohibit fighting, but in order to maintain the order of Amandu City, those who have conflicts with each other are strictly prohibited from fighting in private and must go to the Amandu duel field specially set up by the Church of the God of War.
In the city of Amandu, the Church of the God of War is the unquestionable master.
For this reason, more and more adventurers come here to sell the treasures they find while exploring the secret realms of the ruins. It is safer and more reassuring for them.
What Li Si was looking for was the stall selling these relics and treasures.
In fact, players also have opportunities to benefit from Amandu City, and Li Si still remembers a few of them.
But that would be a few years later. The relics and treasures discovered were also on mobile stalls. Li Si had no way of finding the adventurer for sale now.
Or, it was in the shops in the market, but the harvest was just gold-level props and weapons and equipment, which was nothing to Li Si now.
There is no treasure of the same level as Li Si's previous [Shapeshifter's Mask].
Rather than taking those away now, it is better to treat them as mission rewards to the players in the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce and let them explore on their own.
Of course, there is a reason for this. Being able to have a fixed shop in Amandu City, specifically to purchase relics from adventurers, naturally has a different perspective.
If there are some special or wrong items, they will take action long ago.
After all, there are not only various treasures and wealth in the ruins, but also various dangers.
But for the Church of God of War, those dangers are not a troublesome matter.
Li Si planned to wander around those stalls today and try his luck to see if he could miss something.
Li Si looked at the 10 points of luck on the system panel, feeling extremely confident!
"Boss, how much do these cards cost!"
Li Si was wandering around the market with a large skewer of barbecue, and he really found something good at a corner stall.
Arcane cards!
The [Shapeshifter's Mask] he obtained in the Emerald City before was obtained from arcane cards.
But that's just a special case.
If you want to open legendary items from arcane cards, it can only be said that it is possible, but there are really not many people who can do it.
Most of the things stored in arcane cards are useless trivial items, or some outdated and useless research notes.
If something is truly important, it is rarely stored in a disposable secret box like arcane cards.
"This"
The stall owner is a middle-aged man in his thirties dressed as a mercenary. A rag is laid out casually in front of him, with many dim-colored, antique items placed on it.
He raised his head and looked Li Si up and down, took a strong puff of the cigar in his mouth, and said with a smile:
"If it were anyone else, I might want one hundred gold coins for each of these arcane cards."
"But if you ask me, brother, for fifty gold coins each, you can take away these cards."
"It's expensive." Li Si glanced at the mercenary in front of him who was obviously selling his adventure gains, and shook his head.
The stall owner in front of me is not a mage professional, but he actually knows that these cards are arcane cards. He seems to be an experienced adventurer.
"Forty-five gold coins."
The stall owner said cheerfully:
"No matter how low it is, it won't work. Then I might as well sell it directly to the store that buys it."
"Okay."
Li Si nodded and did not lower the price any further. He reached out and took out all the arcane cards on the stall in front of him, ten in total.
In fact, the price of arcane cards is relatively stable, especially in the Western Desert where there are many ancient ruins.
Most of the arcane cards have been acquired by those large extraordinary forces. After all, with the size of the extraordinary forces, as long as they can produce something useful, they can basically be put to use.
This is not the case for ordinary extraordinary professionals. The probability of producing good things from arcane cards is not high. If you get something that is not suitable for you, you have to sell it or exchange it with others.
Therefore, adventurers who generally act alone or in a small group will choose to sell arcane cards directly at a price higher than the market price.
After handing the gold coins to the stall owner, Li Si picked up the arcane cards on the stall in front of him without leaving, preparing to activate these cards on the spot.
The stall owner's eyes lit up when he saw this, he came over with a smile, and handed Li Si a torn coconut, ready to watch the show.
Although you cannot open cards yourself for the sake of profit, watching others open them is also a different kind of fun.
Many people around noticed it and gathered around.
Who doesn’t like to watch the excitement?
If something good comes out, there will be something new to talk about in the tavern at night.
Li Si didn't care. Even if he wasn't in Amandu City, no one could snatch the things from his hands.
Without hesitation, Li Si picked up a gray card and input magic power into it.
Zheng~
The first one. White, a fireball scroll
Second picture. White, several glass reagent bottles
The third picture. Blue, Silver level mage research notes
The fourth one.
Oh~
As the arcane cards were opened one by one by Li Si, the eyes of the people around him became more and more strange, and they all let out calls of comfort.
Li Si felt his face turn blue and white.
Holding the last card tightly, Li Si resolutely opened up this last hope,
This time the light is stronger!
After the light disappeared, Li Si found a statue as tall as a man appearing in front of him.
It is obvious that this is a statue of a mage, lifelike, and the carving craftsmanship is quite good.
But there is no special fluctuation on it, this is really just a statue.
Why is the statue also placed in the arcane card? Isn't this too ugly?
Li Si looked at the number in the lucky column on the system panel again. Is it correct?
Is the "1" on the left of the number fake?
When the people who were originally surrounding Li Si saw this, they also dispersed, laughing and whispering something.
It's eye-opening to watch others open good things, but it's even more pleasing to their souls to see others open a bunch of junk.
"It's okay, I'll definitely get something good next time."
The stall owner comforted Li Si with a tense face, and said with lingering fear while holding back his smile.
Fortunately, he resisted and didn't open it himself, otherwise it would be a real loss of blood.
Li Si looked calm and put away all the things he had opened in front of him.
Throw it back into the White Pigeon Merchant Guild as a reward!
As the sun sets, the market is gradually covered with a layer of soft twilight, but the liveliness and hustle and bustle have not diminished by half. On the contrary, the falling of night has added a bit of mystery and romance.
"Brother, do you want to buy anything else?"
"I'll give you a discount on the rest. If you don't buy it, I'll go to the pub."
The stall owner said to Li Si that the people watching Li Si's lottery had noticed his small stall and sold a lot in a short time.
Li Si took good care of his business, and he didn't mind reciprocating the favor.
Mainly because Li Si was very generous and just helped him clear his inventory so as not to waste his drinking time.
".Let me see."
Li Si was about to leave directly, but when he glanced at some jewelry on the stall, he squatted down.
Taiya is still sleeping, so it would be nice to buy some jewelry as a gift.
Among these jewelry, the most eye-catching ones are those made of gold. Although the color of gold has gone through the baptism of time, although it is no longer as dazzling as before, it seems to have been given a layer of calmness and restraint by time, exuding a kind of Understated yet profound charm.
The various gemstones inlaid on this gold are like the brightest stars in the night sky, still shining with charming brilliance even against this slightly dim background.
Li Si picked up these jewelry casually and paused slightly when he passed a gold brooch set with pigeon blood ruby.
"Just these few."
Li Si randomly selected three pieces of jewelry, including the ruby brooch.
"No problem, 500 gold coins."
The stall owner took a look and gave a fair price.
He has inspected all these jewelry, and there is nothing special. They are also inlaid with ordinary gemstones, otherwise they would not be at this price.
Li Si collected the jewelry and asked with a smile after paying:
"Which ruins did you find these treasures from?"
"Can't I tell you this?"
The stall owner glanced at Li Si suspiciously, shook his head and said.
Something's wrong, is there something good I haven't discovered?
"Okay."
Li Si shook his head, secretly left a mark on the stall owner and turned around to leave.
If you guessed it correctly, that brooch is a special "key".
That ruins are not simple!
