Chapter 2643 Wood Spirit Ring
Xixia: "Okay, I can not only let you see it, but if you want it, I can also give it to you directly."
Angel looked at Xixia warily: "What price do I need to pay?"
"You have already paid the price, so it is not necessary."
Angel: "What do you mean?"
Xixia also explained impatiently: "If you want to pass through here, according to the rules, each person needs to give me a treasure. I took your two gold coins with meaning, which are also two treasures. In theory, I can let the little guy pass through together."
"But if you want to exchange one of the gold coins for something left here by Mu Ling, I can give it to you through the transaction, but then only you can pass through. And the little guy outside has to stay here, or use other precious things to exchange for a ticket to pass."
"So I said that your price has been paid." Xixia Xia paused: "Also, don't think about letting me give it to you for free. This is the rule, I can't violate it."
"I understand that the teammate who came in just now didn't deliberately take out ten magic crystals. He was just testing the bottom line of the ticket. When it's time to pay, he will definitely pay, and I don't need to pay for him." Angle paused: "But I'm curious, Miss Xixia's box is subject to rules. Is it only for selling tickets?"
"The rules I'm talking about are set by the warden, not the rules of Xixia's box."
At this point, Xixia glanced at Angle: "As for what functions my box has, the changes in your thoughts and the different dimensions you are experiencing now are all the abilities of Xixia's box. However, these are only the basic abilities of the box. Its most important function..."
When it comes to the key point, Angle couldn't help but prick up his ears and lean over to listen carefully.
But after whetting people's appetite, Xixia did not reveal the answer, but said: "I don't want to say."
Angel: "..."
Xixia: "If one day I can leave this ghost place, I can tell you my real role at that time."
Angel smiled politely, but was speechless in his heart. Xixia herself hinted that she wanted to leave here, except for "the dead tree coming back to life", that is, the glory of Naraku City was restored.
And is there really a way to rebuild Naraku City? Angel is not optimistic. Now Naraku City is only supported by a few old monsters, and the strength of these old monsters is not necessarily very high. Even if Naraku City can be rebuilt, the final beneficiaries are probably not them.
"Then I look forward to that day." Although Angel thought it was impossible in his heart, he still expressed his expectation earnestly on the surface.
"Humph, perfunctory."
Xixia hummed a few times and did not continue the topic. Instead, she waved her hand and a gold coin appeared in her palm.
This gold coin is the demon gold coin given by Angel.
Xixia took the gold coin and sniffed it gently: "The demon gold coin has been handled many times and has been stained with the blood of the demon, but when it finally came into your hands, it became clean. It is mixed with your surprise, and you personally gave this gold coin a new meaning. It is no longer used for trading, but carried close to your body, and its value is getting heavier in your heart. Until, you gave it to me."
Angel was not surprised that Xixia could perceive the "meaning" in the items. Xixia had said before that these treasures with meaning could bring a little comfort to her lonely world. This actually revealed that Xixia has the ability to perceive the meaning of "treasures".
Speaking of which, this is actually related to prophecy. Xixia herself is a Baiyuan person, and it seems normal to have the talent for prophecy. Even if she becomes a box, this inspiration should be useful.
Xixia: "The time is too short, I can't sense what meaning you give it, but it is already precious."
Angel: "I didn't give it meaning, but the moment it came into my hands, it had meaning. Because this is the first demon gold coin I earned from the demon by legitimate means."
Xixia: "So, this is... commemorative."
Angel nodded without comment.
Xixia played with the demon gold coin for a while, and then threw it lightly, and the demon gold coin entered the dark fog.
As the demon gold coin entered the dark fog, a metal object fell from the fog and finally fell into Xixia's hands.
Because it came too suddenly, Angel didn't see it very clearly, but he vaguely felt that the color was a little familiar.
When Xixia spread his palm, Angel's pupils shrank slightly.
Now not only the color is a little familiar, but even the appearance is familiar.
This is a silver-white ring, which looks exactly the same as the silver circle that Su Ling found at first, but this one is a little bigger, and there is a circle of slender dark patterns of green leaves on it. This makes the silver ring look more delicate.
"This is..." Angel looked at Xixia in confusion.
Xixia threw the silver-white ring to Angel: "This is what I took off the wood spirit. At that time, it cried to me for a long time, saying how precious it was... Do you really think my identification ability is just for show? This thing is not worth anything at all, and it has no meaning attached to it."
After complaining a few words, Xixia said: "However, if you really have a prophet, it is no problem to use it to find the traces of the wood spirit."
"Okay, I'll use your demon gold coins in exchange for this wood spirit item. Although there's a difference in value, it's exactly what you need, so it's a fair trade."
"Do you have anything else you want to ask? Or, you want to exchange something else, that's okay." As Xicia said, she stretched out her white and slender hand and touched it lightly into the mist, and a faint figure appeared in the mist. There are a lot of items in various styles, bits and pieces, big and small...
"I still have a lot of items here that have a lot of history and stories. I'm tired of looking at them anyway. If you have other items with meanings, you can exchange them with me."
Angel did not respond, but frowned and squeezed the silver ring in his hand. Some seemingly related clues quickly passed through his mind, and his eyes changed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Sisia looked at Angel in confusion.
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect such a delicate thing on the wood spirit." Angel put the silver ring into his pocket and said nonchalantly.
"Exquisite? Your aesthetic level is a bit worrying... However, compared to the bare body of the wood spirit, this only decoration can be considered exquisite." Sisia said, and pointed to the looming items in the mist above her head. , said to Angel: "How, how do you think about it?"
Angel: "...Are you acting as a middleman? What you feel is the so-called price difference?"
Sisia: "That's okay if you want to understand it. Do you want to exchange it?"
Angel thought for a while, and if it really has a great background, it wouldn't hurt to exchange a few of them: "I don't know what kind of things you have, can you show them to me?"
Sisia waved her hand, and the outline of the items in the mist slowly disappeared: "This is not possible, it can only be exchanged randomly. Because the things of the wood spirit are ordinary things, I can control the use of them, but other things, Not ordinary."
Angel: "Forget it then."
Angel doesn't believe in "randomness". Xicia's randomness is 100% that she will give you whatever she wants to give you, whatever her mood chooses.
In terms of game terms in the holographic tablet, Angel and Sicia are not very close, and the randomness given by Sicia is definitely the worst.
If it were a living source worshiper, such as Duodorolai, the random selection given by Xixia would definitely be based on the highest standard of treatment.
Therefore, Angel will not be fooled by this.
"Are you sure you don't want to change it? Among these items, there are not only the treasures I want, but also some treasures that the warden who once hung the prison ladder wanted. If you are lucky, you might be able to get the warden. It’s also a treasure that’s thirsty for knowledge~” Xicia said in a seductive tone.
Angel: "I believe that Miss Sicia must have a very powerful treasure in her hands. Unfortunately, I am here to 'draw a lottery' with you today, so my luck will not be very good."
Sisia narrowed her eyes: "Are you implying that I will operate secretly?"
Angel: "Of course I don't mean that. I just said that my luck is not very good today. Next time we meet, I will bring a mascot to show luck. I believe my luck in the lottery will be much better."
There is no doubt that Angel's so-called mascot must be Dotolo. With Duduo Luo here, not to mention Sisia's attitude, Duo Duoluo's ability alone can guarantee that Angel will not suffer any loss.
Xicia didn't understand what Angel was thinking. She just looked at Angel suspiciously and waved her hand: "If you don't want to change, forget it. Speaking of which, you used 'lottery' to describe it, which is quite appropriate. From now on, I might be able to start a lottery service like this.”
As Sisia spoke, she was thinking happily. Angel reminded her that if someone wanted to pass by here in the future, they could exchange some items with little meaning and average value as "prizes" and exchange them for other treasures. . It’s euphemistically called “the lottery” and it’s perfect!
"It's a pity that there won't be many people coming to my place... Sigh." Xixia sighed, and she could only grab one as soon as it came.
"That's not necessarily the case. The Travel Merchant Organization has been following us, and they might be here soon. When the time comes, Miss Xixia can feel free to let them draw the lottery until they are satisfied."
When normal people understand this sentence, the so-called "draw until satisfied" definitely means to let consumers draw until satisfied.
But at this moment, the brain frequencies of Angel and Sicia happened to match, and their explanation was: Try to let the traveling merchant organization draw until "Sisia" is satisfied.
Although Angel doesn't have much dislike for the Traveling Merchant Organization at the moment, he won't refuse if he creates some obstacles for them. Besides, he just mentioned that the real stumbling block was Sisia.
What's more, maybe they themselves are happy to be tripped up. There will definitely be a lot of good stuff here in Xixia, and some bait will be put out before fishing. It’s hard to say who will lose and who will gain in the end.
…
"Do you have any more questions?"
Angel: "I still have many questions I want to ask, but I don't know if Miss Sicia can answer my questions."
Next, Angel started asking macro questions: for example, the truth about the decline of Naraku City.
Then slowly focus on the reality: the role played by the worshipers in Naraku City.
In the end, the questions became more and more detailed, why did Cixiya need to be transformed into a casket? And what is Naraku City’s experiment? And how many masters are still in the underground labyrinth? Why don't they stop outsiders from plundering Naraku City? And what are they waiting for?
The above questions asked by Angel, for guards like Zhou, must involve oaths and cannot be answered. Although Xixia cannot answer many questions directly, she is better than Zhou in that she can make some hints.
However, Xixia's hints cannot be explained, and Angel needs to understand them by himself.
And it is really difficult to understand such hints without cause and effect.
Angel pretended to be calm and calm on the surface, but there were all kinds of question marks in his heart: What does this mean? What do you mean? Are you hinting or itchy skin? You tiptoed five times, is it a habit or a hint?
For most of the questions, Angel did not understand what Xixia hinted.
He only vaguely came to a few conclusions: First, the decline of Naraku City was a man-made disaster, but it was also self-inflicted, and all the masters and core figures knew that it would eventually decline.
Second, there is indeed some connection between the Baiyuan people and Naraku City. The specific reason is that there is a big man in Naraku City who has a close relationship with the Baiyuan clan. It seems that it was this big man who vigorously promoted the ethnic affiliation of the Baiyuan people.
This was also the only time that Xixia hinted with words: "Do you know when the Baiyuan people were classified as human?"
Angel naturally knew the answer to this question. Ten thousand years ago, the Baiyuan people were classified as human for the first time, enjoying the same treatment as other human beings, and could be called - human beings.
Although this seems to be just a change of name, it is actually of great significance. It means that extreme sects will no longer trouble them with ethnic issues, and it also means that they are qualified to embrace wizard civilization.
From Xixia's hint, the reason why the Baiyuan people and Naraku City are connected is because a big man here has promoted the Baiyuan people to be recognized as "human beings". This is a huge favor, so the involvement of the Baiyuan people and Naraku City has begun to deepen.
Third, there are indeed some "dominant"-level characters in the underground waterway, some of whom are in deep sleep, some are like Xixia, staying alone in the different space, and some are the wise masters, who often wander in the underground waterway and repair the magic array.
But Xixia doesn't know how many there are.
As for why they hid and did not show up, it was because they, like Xixia, were waiting for... the dead tree to come back to life.
Angel probably understood so much, and there were some insignificant little things that he would not mention for the time being. As for other questions, although Xixia hinted, Angel could not understand them, so he could only skip them.
"I have answered all the questions you asked. Now it should be your turn, right? You promised in person that you would let me meet my people. I hope you are not playing a trick on me." Xixia's voice was very calm, and her emotions were unexpectedly calm, but such a calm Xixia gave Angel a sense of oppression that he had never felt before.
Angel: "Of course I will not break my promise. Miss Xixia, do you plan to meet now?"
"Yes, I want to meet now." Xixia said without hesitation. She was friendly to Angel before just for this moment.
Angel: "Okay, but Miss Xixia may have to wait a while. I need to make some preliminary preparations."
Xixia: "How long will it take?"
Angel: "Twenty minutes?"
Xixia thought it would take at least hours or days, but she didn't expect it would only take more than twenty minutes.
Xixia can survive ten thousand years, so she can certainly wait twenty minutes.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Angel: "Before I make preparations, Miss Xixia, you should not mind taking this time to help my companions collect the tolls?"
Xixia: "Yes, but the premise is that they must have precious things. Also, don't take out things like magic crystals, they are of no use to me."
Angel: "Then please let me go first, Miss Xixia. After discussing with my companions, I will let them trade with Miss Xixia one by one. And I will come to meet Miss Xixia after I finish my preparations."
Xixia frowned and said, "You mean, you will let me meet my people in my box?"
Angel: "Miss Xixia can meet outside if she wants."
"No, no, if we can meet in the box, then we can meet in the box!" Xixia waved her hand quickly. She really thought that she had to go out directly to see her people, but once her mind left the body, it would become more fragile and the risk would increase. If she could meet in the box, it would be quite beneficial for her.
"Then see you later."
