Chapter 568 Lord Varro Wants Them All! (7K)

Tang Sen passed through the portal and looked behind, only to see an old, decaying wooden door.

In front of him was a cramped and dark corridor, where many people were crowded.

"Is this Sigil City?" Tang Sen heard someone next to him exclaim: "I heard that in the City of Ten Thousand Gates, portals exist in various forms, and some portals themselves are incredible miracles."

"Where is this portal? How does it look like it leads to a cellar?"

"Shut up, newcomer!" An adventurer who was queuing shouted at the man: "Don't block my way. You will know everything by yourself when you go up. Of course, you'd better bring enough money."

The newcomer obviously didn't have a good temper. He must have been a dominant figure in a certain plane. His eyes suddenly widened and he yelled back, "Say it again? Do you know who I am?"

"Who cares?" the adventurer mocked: "Shut your mouth and clamp your ass, you are nothing here!"

"You-" The man clenched his fists.

"What? You want to take action?" The adventurer laughed ferociously: "There are new people like this who don't know how to live or die every day. You can give it a try. I can guarantee that you will have a long time to regret this moment. impulse."

Another person next to him said: "This long time often means that no one will ever know what the lady is like in prison."

"Anyway, even gods, once they enter there, they never appear again."

The man then stared, gasped, and in his extremely angry state could only continue to be extremely angry.

The adventurer was obviously used to this kind of scene. He pushed the man away with a push and walked up to Tang Sen: "What about you? Are you planning to waste your time traveling to Silver Star Port?"

"Please." Tang Sen turned aside to get out of the way: "However, I have a kind reminder and I wonder if you are willing to listen."

"Get out." The adventurer opened the rotten wooden door and disappeared directly through the door.

"What a pity." Tang Sen said regretfully: "Now is not a good time to go to Silver Star Port."

"I hope you don't come face to face with an incarnation of a god."

The adventurer obviously no longer listened to Tang Sen's advice.

Squeezing through the crowd along the dim corridor, there is another broken wooden door in front of you.

But it was obvious that this was not a portal, because Tang Sen could already hear the very lively noise coming from behind the wooden door.

Squeezing out the door, everything outside the door appears before your eyes.

Surprisingly, it was not a bustling street, but a tavern.

That's right, that portal is actually in the tavern.

Standing next to the door was a lazy receptionist. He was a half-orc with furry skin and lit a pipe. He greeted people coming out of the door from time to time. When he saw the three of Tang Sen, he casually asked : "Newcomer?"

"First time coming to Sigil City." Tang Sen nodded.

"It is not uncommon for new people to come from the portal of Silver Star Port." The receptionist said: "Out of goodwill, I am arranged here to remind everyone who has just arrived in Sigil City."

"Follow the rules of Sigil, don't cause trouble for yourself, and don't cause trouble for us."

Tang Sen stopped and said patiently: "I would like to hear the details."

"First of all, you must have heard that fighting is absolutely not allowed in Sigil. The scope of this fighting includes any fist fight, spell release and even curse."

"Don't try to hide it from the lady. Maybe the lady won't appear in person most of the time. You'd better pray that He doesn't appear, otherwise not only you, but anyone who sees Him will have a bad end."

"Of course, I don't think you are that stupid."

"I'm not interested in being competitive," Townsend said.

"Wise choice." The receptionist said, "Except for not fighting, there are actually very few rules in Sigil City."

The person who had passed through the portal earlier than Tang Sen and the others came over and asked in a low voice, "Isn't that not allowed in Sigil City?"

The waiter glanced at him and frowned: "Newcomers like you are the type we hate the most. But you are lucky, you can do that."

"Of course, it must be consensual. I suggest you go to the ladies' area or the big market. There are many places where you can have consensual consent just by spending money. Of course, if you want to get the ultimate enjoyment, you can go to the Citizen's Happy Hall to join the feeling session. Those sensates are happy to let you experience a wide range of extreme sensations, including sensuality.”

I have to say that the receptionist seemed lazy, but at least he was very conscientious.

"Do you think so?" Tang Sen asked, "Is this some kind of club?"

"To be precise, it's a faction." The waiter was very satisfied with Tang Sen's polite attitude. He took a sip from his pipe and blew the smoke into the man's face. Then he said to Tang Sen: "There are many factions in Sigil City. Factions, my friends, each of these factions has its own opinions, and because they cannot fight, the confrontation between them is more ideological."

"That's why they often call themselves philosophical factions."

"Feeling is one of them. Sensators believe that feeling is the only evidence of existence. If a thing cannot be experienced and felt, then it does not exist. And the only way to truly understand things is through feeling. Only when a thing Only after man has experienced the entire multiverse will the great secrets be revealed to him."

"It sounds reasonable." Varro nodded in agreement: "Feeling is indeed very important, although I think the statement that feeling is the only evidence of existence is a bit too absolute."

"Newcomers, the core views of each faction in Sigil City have their own basis. If you plan to join a faction, you'd better understand what the faction is doing specifically." The receptionist said disdainfully: "For example, perception The members of the society are all madmen, and they are crazy about pursuing all new perceptions. For example: if a perceiver has never experienced bloodlust, then he will never mind creating a cruel massacre to create this feeling. A feeling. He will definitely do it."

"In other words, if a perceiver tries to experience guilt, then betraying one's friends, killing one's relatives, etc. will definitely be effective."

Varro trembled when he thought of those scenes: "It was too chaotic and evil."

"Perception will be the most open faction. There is no threshold and everyone can join. This means that many people will enter there because of the early temptation, and the Perceptions are really enthusiastic and happy to bring new people there. Experience a variety of sensations.”

"Speaking of which, are you interested in immorality? It seems that they are using this as a gimmick to recruit people recently."

"No, no, no!" Varro waved his hands repeatedly: "I'd better stay away from this evil faction."

"Evil?" The waiter sneered: "This is Sigil City."

"Here, there is no distinction between justice and evil. Those gods who uphold justice or stir up chaos cannot interfere with the lady's territory. Here, we uphold neutrality. Of course, there are also interests."

"Believe me, if you can't get used to this, leave as soon as possible. People in Sigil probably hate order and good more than chaotic evil."

Tang Sen can understand the receptionist's argument. After all, chaotic evil can't cause any trouble in Sigil City. Even if you don't like it, you can at most just ignore it. But for people of order and kindness, it's true that when they encounter things they don't like, it's true. If you want to go up and meddle in other people's business, in such a place where you can't fight, you will be annoyed to death.

"What about the other rules?" Tang Sen asked about the factions in Sigil City.

"What other rules?" The receptionist rubbed his fingers cheerfully: "Besides what I mentioned above, as long as you have money, you can solve it."

"For example, you'd better not try to sleep on the street. If you want to rest, it's better to find a guest room or rent a house."

"Otherwise, when you wake up, with good luck you will find that you have been forcibly included in a faction and forced to accept their strange philosophical ideas. If you are unlucky, you may be thrown into eternity by the wandering lady. In a cage.”

"I don't have a habit of sleeping on the streets," Townsend said.

"This is a good habit." The waiter smiled: "It just so happens that Silver Star Tavern provides guest rooms. You only need to pay two thousand gold coins a day to get a bed that is good enough for a sound sleep. Breakfast is not included of course."

"Hiss—" Tang Sen heard Varo take a breath.

"Why, it's too expensive?" The waiter also heard Varro's movements, and he said unhappily: "Believe me, this is cheap enough. This is Sigil City."

"Do people here really not regard money as money?" Varro sighed.

"No, the most important thing about Sigil City is money." The receptionist said: "But, my friends, this is the center of the multiverse. Here you can find all the goods you can imagine, and you can find out everything you need to know. Intelligence, the ability to go wherever you need to go.”

"The richest people in the entire multiverse are gathered here. Think about it carefully, is it possible that any spellcaster who can use teleportation, or any lucky person who happens to find the portal leading to Sigil City, is qualified to be here?" Can this city survive?”

"Threshold! My friend! Money is the threshold here, otherwise you won't be able to stay here for a long time."

"But -" the person before said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you can join various factions? For example, there is no threshold for the Perception Society."

The receptionist looked at him with a faint smile: "Joining a faction does not mean that you can stay in Sigil City forever. Unless you are special enough, otherwise, do you think that the factions in Sigil City only operate in Sigil City? For the Perception Society, the Wilderness of the Unrestrained That is their main scope of activity.”

"Ahem." Tang Sen coughed lightly, interrupted the topic, and said: "If I need it, I will definitely consider staying at the Silver Star Tavern, but now I can't wait to see what Sigil City is like. What does it look like?"

"Of course." The receptionist did not force him to stay, he just said: "As a newcomer, you will definitely be shocked by this place. Of course, after you search the whole city, you will eventually find that two thousand gold coins a night is a very reasonable price. price."

Having said this, the waiter glanced behind the door and showed a strange expression: "We have been chatting for so long, but no one else has come in yet?"

"There is usually an endless stream of people coming from Silver Star Port."

Tang Sen had no way to answer this question, so he nodded politely and led the two of them towards the door.

Pushing open the door, a long street appeared in front of everyone.

There are not as many people on the street as expected, probably because the Silver Star Tavern is not located in the busiest areas of Sigil City, but you can still see various races, some of which even Varro has never heard of. .

The styles of the buildings on the street are also all kinds of strange. Next to the wooden buildings are pure steel buildings, and next to the steel buildings are tree houses.

Sigil is literally a multiverse architectural style exhibition.

Of course, this isn't the most stunning view of Sigil.

The three of them stood on the street, looking along the end of the long street, and then involuntarily, they slowly raised their heads.

I saw that both the streets and the houses were rolled upward at the end until they became vertical at the far end. The sharp-eyed Tang Sen could see that there were still pedestrians walking on the vertical street as usual.

Looking up along the vertical streets and houses, there is a more prosperous building above the sky.

They stand upside down, like mirror images - but judging from the completely different architectural patterns and pedestrians, they are all real.

"Sigil is a ring!"

Varro let out a sigh of relief: "Now, I understand the meaning of what Elminster said."

"Sigil City is located in the center of the Outland, hanging at the top of the Wuji Peak, like a ring suspended in the air, and all the buildings are built inside the ring." Tang Sen recalled what he thought about in his mind. Everything about Sigil: "No one has ever been outside the ring of Sigil. Some people have tried to walk to the end of the inner ring and climb toward the outside, but their consequences are often lost forever."

"There is only one way to enter and leave the City of Ten Thousand Gates, through the teleportation gate." Varro took over: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't imagine such a city."

"It seems that the gravity here is different from other places. At least, we don't have to worry about falling down when we walk to the area on top of us."

"For those at the top, we are the top." Townsend said.

"Although I really want to visit the City of Ten Thousand Gates, considering the cost here -" Varro said with a grimace: "Mr. Tang, let's quickly find the portal to Faerun."

"This is not an easy task. Who knows where the portal to Faerun is hidden? It may not even look like a door."

"Mr. Navarro, how do we find the portal to Faerun?" Tang Sen asked.

"The three of us will definitely not be able to find it if we look for it foolishly. Who knows what secret place the portal is hidden in? Or maybe it is not a door at all, but a mirror or a sculpture - I I heard that many portals require passwords or keys. If the portals in Faerun are like this, it will be even more troublesome."

Varro thought hard: "The best way is probably to buy information directly."

"So, where does the money come from?" Tang Sen asked seriously: "In a place like the City of Ten Thousand Gates, even the most ordinary accommodation costs two thousand gold coins a night, and the information about the portal is probably in Ten Thousand Gates." Prices in the City of Gates are not cheap.”

"After all, the portal to Faerun is not as popular as the portal to the Silver Star Port. If I were an intelligence dealer, any portal to the main material plane would have to be sold for a big price. .”

Varro was stunned.

"I have some wealth in Faerun." He glanced at Tang Sen: "But I didn't bring it with me."

"So, I'll pay for it?" Tang Sen's lips curled up slightly.

"It's unreasonable for me to pay. Mr. Tang has already paid too much for me." Varro said quickly: "It's just a loan. When we return to Faerun, I will definitely pay it back to you."

"Of course I believe in Mr. Varro's credibility." Tang Sen nodded: "But it doesn't have to be so troublesome."

"Why don't you do me a small favor, Mr. Varro?"

"What's the matter?" Varro felt something bad in his heart.

"It's a rare trip to Sigil City. I plan to purchase some things." Tang Sen said: "How about Mr. Varro do it for me?"

"Purchasing?" Varro was stunned for a moment: "What's so difficult about this? If Mr. Tang wants to purchase anything, just tell me directly. However, I, Varro, must repay the kindness I owe Mr. Tang, otherwise I wouldn't Aren’t you becoming an ungrateful person?”

Tang Sen just laughed.

Mr. Varro, you are still young.

Tang Sen came to Sigil City not just to purchase "some" things.

Sigil is the commercial center of the multiverse, at least for now. It is home to all kinds of rare products from the multiverse, many of which are simply unavailable elsewhere.

But in Sigil, you only need money to buy it.

Although, their prices will be sky high that normal people cannot accept.

But what does that matter?

"Then, let's go find a store first and take a look at the market conditions." Tang Sen patted Varo's shoulder and said, "I hope there will be some surprises that will make people's eyes shine."

There is a shop not far away. Judging from the architectural style, it is probably an elf shop.

The three of them walked into the door. An elf was sitting on the counter. He was wearing extremely gorgeous clothes. He didn't look like he was looking at the store at all, but as if he was going to attend a grand banquet.

The other party completely ignored the three of them.

Tang Sen stepped forward, straightened his body, and coughed lightly: "What good things do you have here?"

"Guests, please see for yourself." The elf said without raising his head: "They are all at the counter."

Tang Sen raised his chin: "How could the noble Lord Varro be interested in such a thing on the counter?"

Varro was stunned for a moment and looked at Tang Sen dumbfounded.

What is this doing? Lord Varro? I can't bear it.

But thinking of Tang Sen's previous request, Varro moved his lips and chose to shut up.

The elf raised his head and glanced at Tang Sen, then looked at Varo beside Tang Sen: "Don't you like him?"

He showed a contemptuous but polite smile and said: "You two must be newcomers who have just arrived in the City of Ten Thousand Gates, right? Please allow me to introduce you to them."

He pointed to a long sword placed next to him and said: "This is a flying sword. It is an extremely rare treasure. It can be controlled by the mind at will, fly, attack, recover, and even release spells. I will tell you specifically. Not to mention, the price of this magic sword is five hundred thousand gold coins."

He stared at Varo and said: "Of course, we recommend trading with diamonds or gems. After all, gold coins take up too much space, and it is not easy to spend them at any time in the City of Ten Thousand Gates."

Varro was frightened by the price and froze in place.

He might be able to spend half a million gold coins with all his wealth, but to buy a magic sword? Although this sword sounds good, Varro can confirm that if this sword were placed in a shop in Faerun, the price would be at least twice as low!

"Lord Varro, what do you think of this thing?" Tang Sen turned around seriously and asked Varro.

Varro looked at Tang Sen, not knowing what to say.

How about it? He just wants to leave this damn store right now! It’s simply a scam!

So Tang Sen's face immediately showed a hint of anger, he looked at the elf and said:

"Elf, who do you think Lord Varro is?"

"Is this thing worthy of Mr. Varro's personal inspection?"

The elf's face turned cold, and he stood up slowly, straightening his back: "This is the best craftsmanship produced by the elves, you--"

Before he finished speaking, Tang Sen had already thrown a money bag over. The money bag clinked on the table, and gems of all sizes spilled out.

"Stop talking nonsense, wrap it up, Mr. Varro bought it, let's start introducing the next item."

The elf quickly estimated the value of these gems, and his attitude became slightly better, with a smile on his face: "The customer is really discerning."

"Then please look at this. This is an efreet prison bottle -"

"As I said, don't waste Mr. Varro's time with these toys." Tang Sen waved his hand and interrupted the elf with an impatient expression: "I bought it, I bought it all, hurry up and get some good goods."

"What do you mean by buying?" Elf and Varro were stunned together.

"Mr. Varro, you are too lazy to look at these rags in the counter one by one. You want them all. Wrap them all up." Tang Sen slapped the counter.

"Guest guest must be joking. The price of these treasures of mine, I'm afraid——"

Tang Sen took out two sacks directly from behind.

One is bulging, the other is empty.

He opened the bulging sack to reveal the gems inside, then threw the empty sack to the elf and said, "Put them all in, Lord Varro is in a hurry."

After saying this, he frowned again: "You are not the only one in your store, are you? Find someone to take us to see the good products."

"Of course! Distinguished guest!" The elf's back bent completely, and a friendly smile appeared on his face: "I am about to introduce the treasure of our store to Mr. Varro."

He took out a box from the storage space, carefully handed it to Varo, and said: "Master Varo, please look at this, this is the legendary level of the Impermanence Card."

"Are you worthy of talking to Lord Varo?" Tang Sen stood in front of Varo and took the box: "What's the use of this thing?"

"There are twenty-two cards in this box. Whenever you draw a card, it will produce a special magic effect." The elf quickly introduced: "For example, if the guest draws the 'moon' with three diamonds, the guest will You will have the ability to make a big wish three times a day. If the guest draws——"

"Okay." Tang Sen waved his hand impatiently and put the box away: "It's interesting, Lord Varro wants it."

He kicked the sack next to him: "What else is there? Take them all out!"

"Lord Varro, I want them all!"

Coming out of the elf's shop, Varro's expression was still dull.

"Mr. Tangtang, what did you just do?"

He watched helplessly as Tang Sen took out a lot of gems and swept away all the goods in the elf's shop, even the counter was not spared - the material of that thing seemed to come from a certain elf tree. The tree of life is very rare.

"Purchase." Tang Sen said calmly.

"But...but" Varro stammered, really unable to say anything.

You call this purchasing?

Who purchases everything directly from their store?

And it’s too expensive, really too expensive!

Varro could no longer calculate the astronomical amount of money Tang Sen spent in this store. The only thing he was certain of was that when he left the store, the elf's expression seemed to be that he thought he was the goddess of wealth. I almost knelt down and prayed to myself.

"Don't worry, Mr. Varro." Tang Sen walked quickly on the street: "We are just checking the market situation. Sigil City is very big."

"This is just the beginning."

Varro jumped up immediately: "Just started? Mr. Tang, you are not planning to buy out the entire Sigil City, are you?"

After saying this, he suddenly laughed again.

How is this possible? Sigil City has gathered the treasures of the entire multiverse. If you want to buy out Sigil City, only the goddess of wealth can do it. No, maybe not even the goddess of wealth can do it. Wealth is not created out of thin air, let alone What's more, this goddess will not do such things that may affect the influence of her priesthood.

"Why not?"

This is what he heard Tang Sen say.

"Anyway, here we come."

Varro: "."

"But why do you need to use my name?" Varro already felt that something was wrong.

Tang Sen suddenly looked at him in surprise.

"Isn't this something Mr. Varro has promised?"

He smiled a little implicitly: "I don't like to be in the public eye. It is more suitable for Mr. Varro to do such a publicity thing. Anyway, Mr. Varro is a famous celebrity in Faerun."

"These are two different things."

Unfortunately, Varro has no room for regret.

He could only watch as Tang Sen walked into the next shop, took out a sack and slapped it on the counter.

"Quickly, wrap up all your goods for Mr. Varro!"
