Chapter 900 Black Market Reception
At the time agreed upon with Mr. Coin, Xia Pingan, wearing a black coat and velvet hat, stood in front of the door of Room 1609 of the Tulip Hotel. He adjusted his bow tie one last time and glanced at the time on his hand. The time is 5:55, 5 minutes earlier than the time agreed by Mr. Coin.
Xia Pingan attaches great importance to this gathering. He still has a bunch of spiritual crystals in his hand. If he exchanges all these spiritual crystals, the exchange beads should be enough for him to advance from the second level to the third level.
Just like a mature man who has gone through hardships and only wants to focus on making money, Xia Pingan at this moment just wants to focus on making money.
Because Xia Ping'an doesn't know when the accident will come!
Xia Ping'an didn't know whether the Demon Lord's pursuit would happen again, but he vaguely had a strong hunch that the Demon Lord must know that he was still alive, and that the Demon Lord's pursuit of him would I won't let it go.
Everything seems to be fine now, but the burning sense of urgency, like a storm that will come at any time, can only be felt by Xia Pingan.
The God of Fortune boy sat on Xia Pingan's shoulder, happily jumping around holding Xia Pingan's ears. The preaching mage of Life Mu Ge is still hidden in the swamp. Xia Pingan is also convinced, but that The guy has been marked by the God of Fortune boy and cannot run away. Xia Pingan also recruited the God of Fortune boy to attend today's party with him.
He spent the past two days in Colander's library looking up information related to the Blood Emperor, and finally determined one thing. His treasure map of the so-called Blood Emperor's treasure was most likely fake.
The Blood Emperor's treasure is real and has been an unsolved mystery for thousands of years. But the problem is that in the past thousands of years, many people and forces have created many treasures related to the Blood Emperor for various purposes. There are various related rumors and treasure maps. Although the treasure map he got looks a bit old, it is most likely one of the ones that was brewed. It was accidentally obtained by Siggs Canel. Siggs Kanel thought the thing was valuable, so he hid it.
Moreover, there is a logical flaw in the treasure map. When the Blood Emperor was on the throne, he did not call himself the Blood Emperor, but called himself "The Holy Otis Empire of Gods Blessing All Saints" "The Great Emperor", the Blood Emperor is the title given to him by his descendants after the collapse of the Otis Empire. It is impossible for the Blood Emperor himself to create a map that standardizes the Blood Emperor's treasures, and the person who made the map knows where the Blood Emperor's treasures are. , then why would he let others know?
If you think about it this way, things become simple.
"Dongdong..." Xia Ping'an knocked on the door gently.
A few seconds later, footsteps sounded in the room, the door opened, and Mr. Coin stood in the room.
Mr. Coin's face at this moment was still the same as when Xia Pingan first saw him. He had gray hair and a beautiful mustache. He was dressed in a formal dress and dressed up exquisitely, just like a wealthy gentleman.
"You are very punctual..." Mr. Coin smiled and let Xia Pingan enter the room.
The Tulip Hotel is one of the most upscale hotels in Corland. Room 1609 is the most luxurious double-storey suite in the hotel. The furnishings in this room are also extremely luxurious.
There was no one else in the room except Mr. Coin. Mr. Coin took Xia Pingan directly to the dressing room of the hotel room.
"Put on this set of illusion robes, activate it with three points of divine power, and we can go..."
In the dressing room, there are two black burqas hanging. The burqa covers from head to toe. The burqas are also decorated with divine patterns embroidered with gold threads that are visible to the naked eye.
As Mr. Coin said, he first took out a set of robes to put on, and then activated the divine patterns of the illusion robe. In just a moment, Xia Pingan saw Mr. Coin's entire body transformed into a robe under the illusion robe. It was like a mass of mist, and it was completely impossible to see his true face. Even his outstretched hand was made up of a mass of mist. Of course, this did not really turn people into mist, but the effect of illusion, which could completely cover it up. A person's physical characteristics make it difficult to distinguish between male and female.
Xia Pingan also took a set of robes and put them on. After activating it with three points of divine power, the magic robe also used illusion magic to change Xia Pingan's appearance. Xia Pingan found that he had become a wooden man. He stretched out The outstretched hands are like the branches of trees, which is quite interesting.
"Okay, come with me..." Mr. Coin spoke, his voice as misty as mist. As he spoke, he moved his hand and pushed open a partition wall in the dressing room. Behind the partition wall was A closed secret passage, I don’t know where it leads.
Xia Pingan was a little surprised. He originally thought that the Black Market of Kolander's Scroll Master would be somewhere else, but judging from the current situation, this black market should be in the hotel. Otherwise, Mr. Coin would not take him away. Such a channel.
"The black market is in the hotel?"
"Of course, do you think that the Scroll Masters are all rats and like to operate in dark places?"
"I thought it was somewhere more secluded!"
"This place is also very hidden. There is a secret club in the Tulip Hotel. Generally, only those with divine scrolls can enter. Remember, in such a black market, there are several rules to pay attention to. First, do not inquire about other people's identities. Second, Second, do not lift other people's magic robes. Third, do not use force. Fourth, do not agree to meet in private with anyone except for on-site transactions. Those who agree to meet in private to trade here often end up waiting for them. It’s murder and a trap, too many tragedies like this have happened!”
"I understand..." Xia Pingan also spoke. As soon as he spoke, he found that his voice seemed to come from a tree hole, with the echo of wood.
At the end of the passage, there was a spiral staircase. Going up the stairs to the first floor, a black stone door appeared in front of him. There were traces of a sunken palm on the stone door. Mr. Coin stretched out his palm and placed it on the stone door. Above, as the divine power output surged, the stone door opened.
The light violin music and colorful lights came out from the stone door.
"The cost to open the stone door here, which is also the entrance fee here, is 20 points of divine power per person..." Mr. Coin said.
"The ticket here is the divine power input into the stone gate?"
"Of course, otherwise how could anyone be willing to spend money and effort to hold such a party? Even with the tacit approval of the Investigation Bureau, there must always be enough benefits..."
The two walked in, and Xia Pingan was surprised to see that in front of him, there was a huge circular hall. A lively cocktail party was being held in the hall. Summoners wearing illusion robes were coming from around the hall. People walked in through the stone doors, and then the stone doors closed again.
Those who are not wearing magic robes are summoned characters. There are bands playing music, waiters carrying drinks, and clowns performing acrobatics. Colorful light balls are hanging above the dance floor, spinning on the dance floor. On the other side, the long snow-white table was filled with all kinds of drinks and food.
The effects of the illusion robes are different, and the appearance of the summoners walking here are also different. The bodies of those summoners have mist of various colors, there are wooden figures like Xia Pingan, and They look like metal, stone, and even some illusion robes that directly turn the summoner into walking plants, flowers and animals.
Walking sunflowers, walking clovers, walking lilies, and those walking cat-headed men, kobolds, minotaurs, all kinds of people were walking around in the cocktail party holding wine glasses. It was very interesting and a bit... Like a scene from a children's anime.
"Enjoy it..."
In the blink of an eye, just as Xia Pingan was sizing up his surroundings, Mr. Coin left a word, took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, and walked into a chat circle composed of several misty people. When people chat, it seems like they have met their friends.
And the God of Fortune boy beside Xia Pingan was like entering an amusement park. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Xia Pingan's eyes, appeared on the chandelier above the hall, and the next second appeared on the head of a kobold, and then again. Then it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
A waiter walked past Xia Pingan with champagne. Xia Pingan took a glass of champagne and walked towards the people chatting next to him.
"...I heard that Life Muge has suffered heavy losses recently. Many people were killed by the Investigation Bureau. The Investigation Bureau is still offering rewards. The missionary mage of Life Muge is hidden in the Devouring Swamp. Are you interested in finding familiar friends to form a team? Go try it!”
As soon as he walked over, Xia Pingan heard a "cat-headed man" with a white head chatting.
Some of this information may have been deliberately released by the Investigation Bureau. Otherwise, how could these ordinary divine scrollers know that there is still life in Muge's missionary mage trapped in the swamp. This is because the Investigation Bureau wants to borrow the hands of others. Just get rid of the mage of Life Muge.
"Forget it... the missionary mages of Life Muge are at least third-level divine scrollers, and they are not easy to hunt. I have some divine crystals here, and I want to exchange them for an assassin world bead. I don't know who is interested... …”
"There is no Assassin World Pearl. If you are willing, I can buy it with money. The price is negotiable..."
"The reward offered by the Investigation Bureau this time is 5 world beads and 2,000 divine crystals..." the white "cat-headed man" was still talking.
…
After listening for a while, Xia Pingan probably understood that the black market of the Divine Scroll Master was the same as a drinking party, where everyone chatted and drank while looking for opportunities to exchange and purchase supplies. Those who agreed to the negotiation would directly make the deal on the spot.
In just a short while, the black stone doors opened one after another. More and more divine scrollers came to the reception, and the atmosphere of the reception gradually became more and more lively.
Xia Pingan saw a piano in the hall. He walked over, put the wine glass on the piano, gently stroked the black and white keys with his fingers, got familiar with the melody of the piano, and then sat on the piano bench.
The hall was still lively, and no one cared about a scroller sitting in front of the piano.
But the next second, when the passionate bass at the beginning of the first movement of Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny" swept through the hall like a howling storm, everyone in the hall suddenly turned their heads to look in the direction of the piano.
Just ten seconds later, all the sounds in the hall disappeared. It was quiet. Everyone had surprised expressions on their faces. Even the musicians in the hall stopped playing. In the entire hall, there was only the sound of "Symphony of Destiny". An exciting melody echoes.
Unconsciously, more and more people gathered around the piano, immersed in the artistic conception brought by the music.
Xia Pingan's hands and fingers were the source of the storm. Xia Pingan, sitting in front of the piano with his eyes closed, was like a magician of music. His hands and fingers danced flexibly and elegantly on the black and white keys, completely immersed in it.
A few minutes later, when Xia Pingan opened his eyes and lifted his fingers from the last key, the entire hall was quiet, and only the lingering sound seemed to be lingering in the hall.
Xia Pingan stood up, bowed slightly to the countless surprised looks around him, and then said calmly in a voice that everyone could hear, "Ahem, hello everyone, I have some spiritual crystals here. I want to Exchange world beads, if you need to exchange, you can come to me..."
Everyone was stunned...
But a few seconds later, a voice cursed angrily, "Asshole... you actually used such beautiful music to make such a vulgar advertisement for yourself..."
