Chapter 1434: Inside and Outside the Market
Two and a half moons were in the sky, and in the center of a valley with a wide view, a huge, brightly lit dark brown city stood there, exuding an unshakable aura.
At this time, the gate of the city has been opened, and the bustling neighborhoods are looming.
However, although the city gate is open, there are strong magical streams flickering from time to time in the city gate area, which is obviously blocked by an invisible barrier. Groups of burly heavy-armored guards also stand neatly, which undoubtedly shows that there is still an extremely strong presence here. Complete defense measures.
Needless to say, this is our administrator's cinephile market. The opening of the city gate also means that the high-end market has officially opened.
The valley where the market is located is called Yingming Valley, and it is located at the junction of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, the Deserted Sand Alliance, and our Flower Fairy territory. This is also the place that Lei Xiao and the managers have specially discussed.
At the height of Yingming Valley, as an imperceptible gust of wind passed by, a group of figures faintly exuding majestic momentum emerged.
The burly humanoid figure at the head took off his hood, revealing a rough animal face that was no different from that of a lion. Especially the thick dark golden hair and the scarf-like mane on his neck were extremely attractive. Attention.
This person is the leader of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the leader of the Lion Clan, Loris, one of the leading forces within the alliance.
The light sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and beside Loris, an equally burly centaur stepped forward and looked down at the majestic Miying Market in the valley, his eyes deep and spiritual.
This is Thomas, the deputy leader of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the leader of the Centaur tribe.
As the strong team headed by the two appeared, even the surrounding space became slightly distorted, and a dangerous aura mixed with wildness and violence filled the air.
"Chief, the high-end cinephilia market held this time is obviously extremely abrupt and hasty. Why did you accept the invitation?"
Thomas' face covered with thick beard showed a hint of confusion, and he frowned.
"Of course I know that there must be a mystery in this, but the invitation letter clearly states that the final item this time is the sixth-level magic weapon that I have dreamed of! There is even a sixth-level armor! This is the best thing in our world. The manager personally proved it and highly recommended this leader to come.”
Loris's lion face was full of desire, and he licked his lips and said: "No matter who the original owner of the sixth-level magic weapon and sixth-level armor is, this time, this leader is determined to win!"
"After all, my leader accidentally got a good item that is comparable to it not long ago. If its owner knows the goods, he may be able to exchange it for a set directly."
"As for the mystery behind this, I don't care. In any case, this is a cinephile market with complete defense measures. Although the manager who sent the invitation is said to be the least qualified one, he still doesn't care. As for what problems may arise?”
At this point, Loris's beastly face showed a trace of disdain again, and continued: "Furthermore, even if there is some conspiracy in this, is this leader still afraid of them?"
"Haha, the leader is indeed mighty."
A hoarse and old female voice sounded. Among the strong men at the rear, a thin figure slowly floated out. The silver moonlight reflected her wrinkled old face, and also reflected two pairs of wrinkled heads. The translucent wings are flapping slowly, just like a pocket version of the old witch.
This person is Old Susan, an elder from the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the leader of the water goblins.
I saw old Susan's eyes flashing with cunning light, "Giggle" and said with a strange smile: "The leader has secretly transferred all 30 of our most elite fourth-level legions to the vicinity, which is enough to rival 300 third-level legions." With the huge combat power of the Tier 3 legions, we are not afraid at all even if the army is overwhelming us. Moreover, there are a massive number of Tier 3 legions on standby at all times, not to mention our secret weapons are also on standby at all times.”
"But I always feel that we, Founder, are currently at war with the forces headed by the Human Emperor, and yet we are convening a high-end market at this time. It is hard not to make people suspicious."
Thomas' brows frowned even more, and even the ponytail behind him swayed slightly.
"Deputy leader, do you think it was the human emperor who led this cinephile fair and that the sixth-level equipment was brought out by the human emperor?"
Loris's lion face was full of contempt, and he said dismissively: "It's ridiculous. At best, he is just a lucky guy who accidentally discovered an ancient secret treasure. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Haha, what the leader said is absolutely true. The reason why we set up our troops this time is not just to deal with the insignificant human emperor. The Desolate Sand Alliance is our biggest opponent."
Old Susan's wrinkled old face was filled with a bit of venom, and she echoed: "It would be great if the human emperor could start a fight with the Huangsha Alliance as soon as possible."
"In addition, the venue chosen for this high-end market, Yingming Valley, is also extremely intriguing. I am afraid that people from the Desolate Sand Alliance will definitely be invited."
Thomas still frowned, and said again: "They are all extremely difficult to deal with, and they must have secretly accumulated a large number of troops at the border."
"Deputy leader, I highly approve of your strength and strategy, but you are a little too cautious."
Loris took over the conversation and shrugged helplessly, saying: "Even if the people from the Desert Alliance come, so what? If they dare to make any unusual moves, then this leader will naturally accompany them to the end."
"As for the human emperor, there is even less to worry about."
Loris' beast face was full of ferocity, and he concluded: "In short, our goal now is just to obtain the sixth-level equipment. If anyone stands in our way, just wipe them out."
After saying that, Loris' figure flashed and disappeared instantly, and the other strong men around him followed closely, making this high ground empty again.
Not long before the strong men of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance rushed towards our Mirage Market, our managers had already met another group of "guests" at the gate of our Mirage Market.
"Dear distinguished guests, I am the manager of this Shadow Market."
Our manager looked at the "guests" in front of him and smiled, "I am honored to be invited to patronize my market."
"Your Excellency the manager is too polite."
A crisp and sticky female voice sounded, and the "guest" in the lead took off his hood, revealing a delicate white face, and smiled, "We are very honored to be invited by your Excellency the manager."
However, although the face of this female warrior is outstanding, her thick and braided hair is scattered like a group of snakes, and even occasionally there are bright red snake tongues spitting out, making it difficult to distinguish whether it is real hair or a real group of snakes, which makes people's scalps numb.
Not only that, the lower body of this female warrior is also snake-shaped, and the undisguised thick black snake body is covered with scales, reflecting a strange black dark light under the moonlight. This person is Xi Na, the leader of the Desert Alliance, and also the queen of the Gorgon.
"Your Majesty is very polite. I have heard of your great name for a long time. Today I see that you are indeed extraordinary."
Our manager laughed and started to be polite with the other party.
However, while speaking, our manager clearly understood that although the Gorgon Queen in front of him looked well-mannered, she was actually a terrifying existence like a killing god.
Over the past thousand years, it is difficult to estimate the number of strong men who have fallen under her hands, including many well-known sixth-level figures from second-rate forces. Even if a strong man is proficient in magic defense, if he is not careful, he will be petrified in an instant and then turned into pieces on the ground.
After some polite exchanges, the manager looked at the team of strong men from the Desert Alliance behind Xina and asked, "Your Majesty, didn't the deputy leader of your alliance come? I have specially prepared the tea that the deputy leader likes."
"The deputy leader has important matters to attend to, so it is inconvenient for him to attend. Please forgive me, manager."
Xina's fair face was still filled with an indescribable smile, and she responded, "I have to say that this high-end market is really lively."
After that, Xina looked at the prosperous street behind the manager. On the brightly lit and spacious street, there were not only groups of market guards patrolling, but also various stalls. Many other guests were either stopping to check or bargaining and exchanging.
"Yes, Your Majesty. In addition to dwarves, goblins, dragonborn, tauren, trolls, and tree people, I also saw dark elves and light half-elves."
A nimble black shadow descended from the sky and reported to Xina in a disguised hoarse voice: "By the way, there are also humans and forest half-elves, but because their presence is too weak, I almost ignored them."
Because his action was too abrupt, the two sixth-level market guards around the manager involuntarily put their hands on the swords at their waists.
Listening to the other party's contemptuous tone, the manager frowned slightly, waved his hand to signal the guards not to be nervous, and turned his head to look at the black shadow.
He was thin and small, not only wearing a hood, but also a colorful and weird mask. His specific appearance could not be seen at all. However, judging from the vast momentum emanating from his body, he was obviously a genuine sixth-level strongman, and he was very good at hiding his strength, so it was difficult to tell his specific level.
As for the other guests in the market, they were naturally our strongmen arranged by Lei Xiao.
"Sharp Teeth, you are not allowed to jump up and down here."
Xina also frowned, and then smiled at the manager and said, "Sorry, Mr. Manager, this guy has not been to the market many times and does not understand the rules here."
However, although Xina's words seemed to express apology, in fact, she only maintained the minimum respect and was not very sincere.
This is no wonder. After all, our managers are ranked too low and have almost no dealings with the Desert Alliance. The other party with a high spirit will naturally not take it too seriously and just say some polite words.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? As long as it's not the iron rule of the market, I won't care about the rest."
Our manager waved his hand again and responded with a smile.
If this situation happened before, our manager might have directly blacklisted the other party and never invited them again. But this time Lei Xiao was the host, so our manager undoubtedly had to put the overall situation first.
"By the way, Mr. Manager, the guests attending the market this time seem to be related to the human emperor who has become more and more famous recently."
Xina gently twisted a strand of hair that was hard to tell whether it was a real snake or not, and said with a smile: "This is really a coincidence. Do you think there is any connection between them?"
"Haha, to be honest with Her Majesty, the scope of the invitations I can issue is only the strong people in this area."
The manager laughed and did not directly answer the other party's question.
"That's right. If the human race can come up with such equipment, it will really make us who have been fighting against second-rate forces for many years feel ashamed."
Xina raised her eyebrows slightly, and there was a bit more contempt in her voice.
"Your Majesty is right. Although we did find some cases where the human emperor and his forces were suspected of using sixth-level equipment, what Her Majesty needs is the rarest sixth-level staff and sixth-level robe. This is a secret treasure that even ordinary second-rate forces regard as national-level equipment. How can it be something that a mere human race can get?"
The masked man smiled and echoed again.
"Mr. Manager, when can I see the equipment mentioned in the invitation? I can't wait."
Xina's eyes were full of love, and she asked the manager: "The low-level things here are hard to arouse my interest."
"Please wait for a moment, Your Majesty, there are still a group of distinguished guests who have not arrived yet."
Our manager is very professional and smiled: "When the distinguished guests arrive, I will immediately guide you to the designated place to check."
"It seems that the other party has arrived."
Before the manager finished speaking, Xina looked in the direction of the gate, frowned and said: "It is indeed the group of guys that I want to get rid of day and night."
Accompanying Xina's words, a group of figures really appeared in front of the majestic gate of the market. They were the leader of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, Loris and others.
"This leader said that there is a disgusting stench here. It turns out that some despicable guys came here in advance."
Seeing Xina and others from the Desert Alliance, Loris's lion face was full of disdain and snorted coldly.
"Haha, the leader is right. I can smell a bit of stench."
Old Susan glanced at Xina and echoed.
"Where did these flies come from? They are buzzing here."
Xina's fair face suddenly darkened, and she led her men to meet them. (End of this chapter)
