Chapter 900 Black Market Reception
At the time agreed with Mr. Qiang, Xia Ping'an, wearing a black coat and a velvet hat, stood in front of the door of Room No. 1609 of the Tulip Hotel, finally sorted out his bow tie and took a look at the time on his hands. The time on his hands was 5:55, 5 minutes ahead of the time agreed by Mr. Qiang.
Xia Ping'an attached great importance to this party. He still had a bunch of divine thought crystals in his hand. If he exchanged all these divine thought crystals, the realm beads he exchanged for should be enough for him to advance from the second level to the third level.
Just like a mature man who has experienced hardships, he only wants to make money with all his heart, Xia Ping'an at this moment only wants to make money with all his heart.
Because Xia Ping'an didn't know when the accident would come!
Xia Ping'an didn't know whether the pursuit of the Lord Demon God would appear again, but he had a vaguely strong premonition that the Lord Demon God must know that he was still alive, and the pursuit of the Lord Demon God would not just forget it.
Everything seems to be fine now, but the urgency of the fire-burning eyebrows is like a storm that will come at any time, only Xia Ping'an can experience it.
The Prodigy of Fortune was sitting on Xia Ping'an's shoulder, happily jumping around with Xia Ping'an's ears. The missionary wizard of Life Muge is still hidden in the swamp until now. Xia Ping'an was convinced, but that guy was already marked by the Prodigy of Fortune and could not escape, so Xia Ping'an called the Prodigy of Fortune and attended today's party with him.
These two days he spent in the library of Curland to check information related to the Blood Emperor, and finally confirmed one thing: his so-called Blood Emperor treasure map is probably fake.
The treasure of the Blood Emperor is real, and it is an unsolved mystery for thousands of years. But the problem is that in the past thousand years, many people and forces have made many rumors and treasure maps related to the Blood Emperor's treasure for various purposes. Although the treasure map he obtained seems to be a few years old, it is likely to be one of the pieces that were made. They were accidentally obtained by Sigscarnel. Sigscarnel thought this thing was valuable, so he hid it.
Moreover, the treasure map also has a logical flaw. When the Blood Emperor was in power, he did not call himself the Blood Emperor, but called himself the "Sacred Emperor of the Ortis Empire who protects the saints and Chings of the Gods". The Blood Emperor was the title given to him by descendants after the collapse of the Ortis Empire. The Blood Emperor himself could not create a map with a standard treasure of the Blood Emperor. Since the person who made the map knew where the Blood Emperor's treasure was, why did he let others know?
Thinking of this, things are simple.
"Dongdong..." Xia Ping'an knocked on the door lightly.
A few seconds later, footsteps rang out in the room, the door opened, and Mr. Coin stood in the room.
Mr. Coin's face at this moment was the same as when Xia Ping'an first saw him. His hair was gray and beautiful bearded, he wore a dress and dressed in exquisite style, just like a rich gentleman.
"You are very on time..." Mr. Qiang smiled and let Xia Ping'an enter the room.
The Tulip Hotel is one of the most luxurious hotels in Corlandone. Room 1609 is the hotel's most luxurious double-storey suite. The furnishings in this room are also extremely luxurious.
In the room, there was no one except Mr. Qiang Coin. Mr. Qiang Coin took Xia Ping'an directly to the locker room in the hotel room.
"Switch to this set of magic robes and use three more divine power to activate it, and we can go..."
In the locker room, two black burqas were hung. The burqas were decorated with divine patterns pierced with golden silk that could be seen on the burqas.
Mr. Qiang said, taking out a burqa to put it on, and then activate the divine pattern of the illusion vest. In an instant, Xia Ping'an saw that Mr. Qiang's entire body turned into a cloud of fog under the illusion vest, and he could no longer see his true appearance. Even the hand he stretched out was composed of a cloud of fog. Of course, this is not really turning a person into a fog, but the effect of the illusion can completely cover up a person's physical characteristics, making it impossible for men and women to distinguish them.
Xia Ping'an also took a burqa to wear it. He used three divine power to activate it. The illusion velvet also changed Xia Ping'an's appearance with illusion. Xia Ping'an discovered that he had become a wooden man. His hand stretched out was like the branches of a tree, which was quite interesting.
"Okay, come with me..." Mr. Coin spoke, his voice as misty as fog. As he was talking, he moved his hand and pushed open a partition wall in the locker room. There was a closed secret passage behind the partition wall, which didn't know where it led.
Xia Ping'an was a little surprised. He originally thought that the Black Market of Curls of the Gods would be in other places, but judging from the current situation, the black market should be in the hotel, otherwise Mr. Coin would not take him to such a passage.
“The black market is in the hotel?”
"Of course, do you think the Divine Scrollers are all mice and like to move in dark places?"
"I thought I was in some more hidden place!"
"It's also very hidden here. There is a secret club in the Tulip Hotel. Generally, only the divine scroller can come in. Remember, in such a black market, there are several rules to pay attention to. First, do not ask about other people's identities, second, do not open other people's illusion vests, third, do not use force, fourth, except on-site transactions, do not agree to meet and trade with anyone, and here to agree to meet and trade in private, many times, what comes are murders and traps, and such tragedies have happened too many!"
"I understand..." Xia Ping'an also spoke. As soon as he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was like a sound coming from a tree hole, with the echo of wood.
At the end of the passage was a rotating staircase. A black stone door appeared in front of him. There was a trace of a sunken palm on the stone door. The coin monk stretched out his palm and placed it on the stone door. As the divine power surged, the stone door opened.
The music of the brisk violin and colorful lights came out of the stone gate.
"The fee for opening the stone gate here is also the admission fee here. It is 20 points of divine power per person..." said Mr. Coin.
"The tickets here are the divine power input into the stone gate?"
"Of course, otherwise how could anyone be willing to contribute money and effort to hold such a party? Even with the acquiesce of the Bureau of Investigation, they always have to give people enough benefits..."
The two walked in. Xia Ping'an was surprised to see that in front of him, there was a huge rotunda hall, and a lively cocktail party was being held in the hall. Summoners wearing magic vestments were walking in from the stone doors around the hall, and then the stone door was closed again.
Those who were not wearing magic vests were summoned characters, including bands playing music, waiters carrying drinks, and clowns performing acrobatics. Colorful light balls hang on the sky above the dance floor, and on the other side of the dance floor, the snow-white table was filled with all kinds of wine and delicacies.
The effects of the magic vests are different, and the appearances of the summoners walking here are also different. The bodies of the summoners include various colors of mist, wooden people like Xia Ping'an, and metal-like and stone-like appearances. Some magic vests even directly turn the summoners into walking plants, flowers and animals.
The walking sunflowers, the walking clovers, the walking lilies, and the walking cats, dogs, taurens, and all kinds of people walking around the party with wine glasses. It is particularly interesting, a bit like the scene in a child's anime.
"Enjoy it..."
In the blink of an eye, just as Xia Ping'an was looking at the surrounding environment, Mr. Coin left a sentence, and had already taken a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, walked into a chat circle composed of several foggy people and chatted with people, as if he had met his own friends.
The lucky prodigy beside Xia Ping'an was like entering an amusement park. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in front of Xia Ping'an, appeared on the chandelier above the hall, and the next second appeared on the head of a dog-headed man, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
A waiter walked past Xia Ping'an with champagne. Xia Ping'an took a glass of champagne and walked towards the crowd chatting next to him.
"...I heard that Life Mu Ge has suffered heavy losses recently. Many people have been wiped out by the Bureau of Investigation. The Bureau of Investigation is still offering a reward. The missionary wizard with Life Mu Ge is hiding in the devouring swamp. Are you interested in finding familiar friends to team up and try it together!"
As soon as she walked over, Xia Ping'an heard a "cathead man" with a white head chatting.
Some of these information may have been deliberately released by the Bureau of Investigation. Otherwise, how could these ordinary divine scrollers know that there is still the missionary mage of Life Mu Ge who is trapped in the swamp? This is just that the Bureau of Investigation wants to use the hands of others to get rid of the mage of Life Mu Ge.
"Forget it... Life Mu Ge's missionary wizards are at least third-level divine scrollers, and they are not that easy to hunt. I have a little divine crystal here. I want to exchange for an Assassin's World Pearl. I don't know who is interested..."
"The Assassin's World Pearl is not. If you want, I can buy it with money. The price is easy to negotiate..."
"The reward from the Bureau of Investigation this time is 5 realm beads plus 2,000 divine crystals..." The white "cathead man" was still talking.
...
After listening for a while, Xia Ping'an probably understood that the black market of the Divine Scroller was the same as a cocktail party. Everyone was chatting and drinking here while looking for opportunities to exchange for purchases of supplies. Those who had completed the negotiations would directly make transactions on the spot.
In just a moment, the black stone doors opened one after another, and more and more divine scrolls came to the cocktail party, and the atmosphere of the cocktail party gradually became warmer.
Xia Ping'an saw a piano in the hall. He walked over and placed the wine glass on the piano. He gently stroked his fingers through the black and white keys, became familiar with the melody of the piano, and then sat on the piano bench.
The hall was still lively, and no one would care about a scroller sitting in front of the piano.
But the next second, when Beethoven's first movement of the Symphony of Destiny swept across the hall like a howling storm, everyone in the hall turned their heads and looked in the direction of the piano.
Only ten seconds later, all the sounds in the hall were gone and quiet. Everyone showed a look of surprise on their faces. Even the musicians in the hall stopped playing. In the entire hall, only the exciting melody of "Symphony of Destiny" was echoing.
Before I knew it, more and more people gathered around the piano, immersed in the artistic conception brought by the music.
Xia Ping'an's hands and ten fingers were the source of the storm. Xia Ping'an, who was sitting in front of the piano, closed her eyes, like a magician of music. Her hands and ten fingers were beating flexibly and elegantly on the black and white keys, completely immersed in it.
A few minutes later, when Xia Ping'an opened his eyes, his fingers also raised from the last key, and the entire hall was quiet, as if only the lingering sound was circling in the hall.
Xia Ping'an stood up, bowed slightly to the countless surprised gazes that came around, and then said calmly in a voice that everyone could hear, "Hehe, everyone, I have some divine thought crystals here. If you want to exchange the world beads, you can come to me if you need to exchange..."
Everyone was stunned...
