October 30th, early morning.
After getting up and washing briefly, Lear enjoyed a hearty breakfast prepared by Brando.
Although he enjoyed the best in the City of Dew, it has to be said that the gap is still huge.
A simple breakfast can be full of fun, and there will be no repetition of twenty or thirty items.
The swamp has no time to do this, it would be nice to be full.
After breakfast, Lear took Brando and two clever staff members and went out directly.
There are two goals today. The black market and the slave market.
In the past few refreshes, a piece of 4-star purple intelligence broke out——
The black market in Luolan City, the second sub-street, the seventh street stall, in the next month, There will be a man in black clothes and silver hair selling goods here. The silver mask in his hand is the key to the ancient ruins - the bloody arena.
Ancient ruins!
I didn't feel much about this name before, but after exploring the ruins twice, Weilu City took off immediately. Now my eyes light up when I see the ancient ruins.
Must get it as soon as possible.
This thing can only be his! !
In addition, there is a piece of 3-star information in Luolan City——
A void shadow has appeared in Luolan City recently. He will talk to the first person he meets every day. Through trade, you can buy any treasure from them as long as you can get something they are interested in.
This piece of information is also very tempting. Just telling him about the shadow is worth 3 stars.
If you look into it further, you may be able to catch a big fish.
Unfortunately, the news is too general. The city of Loland is so big, and trying to meet that shadow based on this news alone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
While thinking, Lear rode the giant-antlered deer king of the swamp and took Brando, who was carried by the unicorn horse, straight away from the seventh block.
The giant-antlered swamp deer king with a shoulder height of four meters is too eye-catching. Pedestrians on the road immediately stop when they see it from a distance, step aside, and do not dare to approach it at all.
The ferocious giant horns, distinct muscles, and plum blossom-like patterns on its body all illustrate the extraordinary nature of this stag.
As for its owner, it doesn’t take much thinking to know that he must be a big shot.
The surrounding crowd looked up secretly, but were surprised to find that the figure behind them seemed to be obscured by the fog, making it impossible to see the specific face.
This makes it look more mysterious and majestic, making people dare not look directly at it.
Lear felt the surge of people and was in a good mood.
Weilu City will also have this kind of scene in the future!
An hour later, the familiar ruins of the wall came into view.
The sun has not yet come out, and the air is filled with light mist, lingering around.
It makes this broken building complex look a bit mysterious.
There is a constant flow of people, and wherever you look, they are all densely packed with heads.
A large number of mysterious people wearing dark veils or cloaks move among them, and the streets are lined with stalls.
The mounts were temporarily placed in the place where the horses were stored. Lear led a few people into it with some familiarity.
Watch while walking.
There are all kinds of things on the stall, including ores, beast heads, standard armor, gems, magic plants and all kinds of strange things.
Lear looked around, and the properties of various goods appeared in his mind, and there were a few good treasures among them.
Unfortunately, when I asked about the price, I got an extremely high price, even one or two percent higher than the selling price of similar treasures outside.
This happened several times, which made him a little puzzled.
Brando noticed Lear's doubts and whispered.
"Sir, the black market is not an antique market. Although the goods here cannot see the light, most of the sellers know their value."
"You can still spend money even if you don't understand. Find someone to authenticate on the black market, and the black market management provides such services.”
"Coming to the black market is more about convenient transactions, and the source cannot be traced."
"The prices of some high-end goods such as armor and equipment are generally higher than those in the outside world, because outside, many things go through formal channels. It’s impossible to get.”
This is when Lear understood.
Before, I only relied on intelligence to harvest here, and did not inquire about the black market in detail.
I put down the idea of picking up leaks and waved my hand.
"You lead the way to Second Vice Street."
Brando nodded immediately and led the way very familiarly. It seemed that this guy was also a frequent visitor.
"Are you familiar with the black market?"
"Sir, I have been selling goods at a stall in the black market for a period of time. Many outsiders came here because of their stupidity and rich money. It’s easy to cheat. Ahem, it’s easy to make a deal.”
Lear couldn’t laugh or cry. Is this the black market as a tourist attraction?
Still playing this set
I also thought about the first time I came here, it seemed that I was also treated as a fat sheep and slaughtered.
The water here is a bit muddy.
Gradually going deeper, Lear walked through the stalls and shops one after another, and unknowingly he was walking ahead.
The people who crossed paths with him would inexplicably move away.
He was like an arrow breaking through the waves of the crowd.
Although their faces were covered by fog and their soul aura was not emitted, the silent pressure of the gods that penetrated deep into their souls still exerted a subtle influence on the surroundings.
Brando looked hotly from behind, holding his chest high and his eyes full of pride.
This is their master! !
What is deterrence? This is it! !
After bypassing a large number of shops, Lear came to the second sub-district, observed silently, and counted the seventh stall.
The steps stopped inadvertently.
This stall is a rare wooden stall. It is placed at chest height. People passing by can easily see the items on it without bending down.
The stall owner was wearing a black cloak, with long silver hair hanging down his back to his waist.
Seeing Lear, he slowly raised his head.
"What does the guest need?"
The voice was hoarse and hollow, no information could be heard, and the age, gender and even race could not be distinguished.
If the intelligence hadn’t informed him that he was a man, there would have been no way of knowing.
Not entangled in this, Lear glanced around and stopped at the goods.
There are only seven items for sale above.
3 fist-sized rocks as black as ink.
Three eggs as pure white as jade, half the size of a head, plus a very textured silver mask.
Black Gold Ore
Level: 4 stars
Characteristics: Can extract black gold, which can be used to draw inscriptions to greatly improve the effect
White Jade Swan Egg< br>
Level: 4 stars
Characteristics: Can hatch 4-star potential white jade swans.
Silver Mask
Level: Special
Characteristics: The key to an ancient ruin.
Good guy! !
These treasures are all 4 stars? !
Looked deeply at the covered silver-haired man.
The black market is really fierce, you never know what is hidden in it.
My heart put away the arrogance that unconsciously emitted as my strength increased, and my eyes became clear.
"Your goods are quite good, what's the price?"
"Black gold ore, 5,000 gold coins a piece, white jade swan eggs, 6,000 gold coins."
"This mask No money."
Lear's heart froze and he pretended to be very interested.
"Why are other treasures priced at a high price, but this mask is free?"
"I dug out the mask from a pit that was deep for thousands of people. It is entangled with the power of the curse. As long as you can remove it, The power of the mask's curse will be given to you for free."
The other party said and took out a broken sword and gently touched the section.
“The mask contaminates the sword and removes its power, and the sword can be restored.”
“Don’t you think that this mask is worth more than the sword?”
>
"Really? The mask is not made of high-grade materials, but the inscription on it is special. It seems to be a guide to open a forbidden area or ruins."
"I am not aware of the danger of exploring the unknown. Interested."
"This broken sword, when intact, is at least a 5-star treasure!"
"A thousand birds in the forest is worth one in the hand."
"No matter how good the treasure is, it must be used to make it work!"
"Otherwise, it will be no different from the garbage in the sewer if it rots in your hands."
Lear couldn't help but admired after hearing this. This guy's cognition is accurate.
The other party's tone became dark and unclear as he spoke.
"However, there are no less than 10 people who have tried the power of the curse. The result is that they are all haunted by the curse, and life or death is unpredictable."
"If the guest is not absolutely sure, no I suggest you try it." Lear narrowed his eyes.
This is not a lie? !
Subconsciously open the other party's property panel.
But it turned out to be a lot of question marks and no information was obtained.
Obviously there is some treasure covering the aura.
But he didn't hesitate at all.
"I answered"
The low voice fell and he slightly lifted the cloak behind him.
The night filled the air, instantly casting a layer of fog over the opponent's platform.
The silver-haired man was startled and subconsciously touched up, but found nothing.
Looking up, he saw the other party slowly putting the silver mask on his face.
In an instant, the silver mask seemed to come alive, with a black smiling face with bent eyes appearing on it.
It gives people a weird and evil feeling.
I was slightly startled. Just as I was about to speak, I immediately sensed that the power of the curse dissipated at an exaggerated speed.
With just a few breaths, the mutation disappeared without a trace.
The fog on the table also dissipated at this moment.
Ore, swan eggs, nothing less.
The broken sword in his hand now showed a cold light, and the evil energy entangled in it had been cleared away.
Before he could recover, he saw a mysterious figure whose face could not be seen clearly in front of him, turning and leaving.
"The payment is due, goodbye."
Looking at his leaving figure, the silver-haired man trembled and wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth.
Looking down at the broken sword in his hand, he remained silent for a long time.
Loland City is indeed like a sea of abyss, hiding countless terrifying existences.
The power of the curse cannot even be affected by a level 19 mage. The opponent can be cleared in just a few breaths!
Terrible! !
Could this be a transcendent existence?
Raised his head and looked deeply at Lear's figure, as if he wanted to remember it firmly.
Lear also didn’t expect to get what he wanted in such a way.
Take off the mask on your face and raise the corners of your mouth.
The key to unlocking the ancient ruins in the Bloody Arena - the silver mask, is available!
Beautiful.
And he got more than one reward, the other party also gave him a generous gift——
The power of the curse!
This terrible power is emitted by people on the eve of death, amid extreme fear and resentment.
It was formed by the intertwining resentment of tens of thousands of people.
If ordinary people come into contact, they will be subject to the most terrifying erosion, their souls will rot, and they will live under the curse all day long until death.
But this power is a great supplement to the Shadow of the Mist.
The Shadow of Mist can swallow up all energy and doesn't care about the curse of resentment at all.
After swallowing it, you can clearly feel that the aura of the Shadow of the Mist has soared upwards.
We are only one step away from reaching level 16!
This may be as comfortable as the energy provided by swallowing the flesh and blood of tens of thousands of fallen demons
It's so comfortable.
Learing from the black market, Lear, who was in a happy mood, retrieved the Swamp Giant-Antlered Deer King and headed straight to a more prosperous area.
Slave Market.
There was no words along the way. Half an hour later, a Gothic building came into view.
Reliefs hollow out the walls, heroic knights lead a team to resist demons, angels wave their swords and cast holy light to save the world, and griffins swoop down from the sky to defeat the orcs
Various lifelike and magnificent scenes are painted on them.
The rose-shaped colorful windows are in full bloom, exuding a dark and mysterious atmosphere that makes people look sideways.
The road was unusually wide, and Lear rode straight in on the giant-horned deer king of the swamp.
Slave markets are mostly fixed shops, with iron cages stacked up at the door.
Slaves for sale are displayed inside.
Orcs, dwarves, half-elves, harpies, hippomen, tauren. There are so many races that it is difficult to count.
Only carriages are prohibited in the slave market, and ordinary mounts are not restricted.
But there were crowds of people, it was very lively and crowded.
The sound of bargaining can be heard like a vegetable market.
Lear walked around for a while, and suddenly thought of the place where he bought the wetland lizardmen before - the Dragon Fang Chamber of Commerce.
He was deeply impressed by the chubby businessman with a kind smile on his face.
According to memory, after a long circle, we stopped in front of Longya Chamber of Commerce.
Take Brando, the tool man, and get down, letting the Swamp Giant-Antlered Deer King and the Unicorn stop at the door.
At this time, a smiling, kind-looking businessman with a big belly came out to welcome him.
The fog that covered Lear's face disappeared at this moment.
The moment the other party saw his face, he was stunned at first, and then he was surprised and happy.
"Lord Li Leer?"
Lear smiled happily.
“President McCann, long time no see.”
The other party immediately burst out with great enthusiasm.
"Lord Lear, welcome!"
"It has been almost four months since we last saw each other!"
"Praise to the goddess, you Returned safely."
"Quickly, bring out my best elf tea. I want to entertain the distinguished guests!"
McCann did not expect that Lear would return to Luo so soon. Lancheng.
When I left last time, I was going to explore the wilderness. I also purchased two squadrons of wetland lizardmen.
He still clearly remembered those ferocious beings who could not be suppressed even by the ring of slavery, but were as docile as lambs in front of them.
This made a deep impression on him.
What’s more important is that the gold coins used by the other party to pay for the wetland lizard people were given by the princess of Luolan City!
This is a pioneering lord with a strong background!
Now it seems that the original guess was indeed true.
He glanced at the huge-antlered swamp deer king parked at the door, without delving into it. Although the mount was extraordinary, it still couldn't move him.
What amazed him was that the other party's temperament had changed drastically from a few months ago.
Iron-blooded, calm, chill, and wise.
Every move he makes shows the aura of a superior person that makes people heart-wrenching.
External things are always external things. They can be obtained by chance or as gifts from elders. What is internal is the core of a person's nature.
McCann led Lear to the living room.
After sitting down, he was full of surprises.
“Lord Lear, it goes without saying that you must have experienced storms during this period that outsiders cannot imagine.”
"Nice to see you again."
"Can you tell me what Longya Merchant can do for you?"
Lear smiled.
It is indeed very comfortable to do business with this kind of person.
"I need to buy a group of slaves. Do you still have any wetland lizardmen?"
"Wetland lizardmen? How many do you want?"
Lear raised a hand.
McCann's face was filled with joy.
“Five squadrons?”
That’s a big deal.
"Five teams."
Gudong~
McCann immediately swallowed and his eyes became extremely bright.
"Sir, are you planning to form an expeditionary army?"
For a lord who just went to the wilderness to explore a few months ago, an army of 5,000 people is too exaggerated. .
The amount of food consumed every day is an astronomical figure, not to mention that it must be equipped with enough weapons and armor, and sufficient logistical support must be provided.
Even the veteran pioneer lords can’t stand the expansion of so many armies at once! (End of this chapter)
