Noticing each other's silence, Lei Xiao and his subordinates couldn't help but look at each other.
There were no other participants, and the "explanation" from the other party made things very clear.
I'm afraid I am the only participant this time. As for why the other party did this, that is the truth that we need to find out next.
After a while, the manager's deep and hoarse voice sounded again.
"Your Majesty is worried about the safety of entering the city, right? It's no wonder. I am indeed a little abrupt. I understand. Let's use the city gate as the boundary. I will explain everything to you in person. Please wait a moment."
Not long after, the sound of heavy footsteps and the collision of armors was heard, and three more burly figures wearing brown heavy armors and fully enclosed helmets came over.
Compared with the two teams of market guards guarding the door, the brown armors of these three burly figures were engraved with deep black lines, and the splendor they exuded was obviously much richer than that of the market guards.
Especially the leader, whose brown heavy armor is almost completely covered with black lines, exudes an extremely dangerous aura in his movements, and the unknown face that is still covered by the fully enclosed helmet adds a bit more to the opponent.
Mysterious.
"A sixth-level peak powerhouse and two sixth-level ordinary powerhouses?"
Feeling the energy fluctuations that shook the air, Yoniel and Hui Lao immediately protected Lei Xiao, their faces full of vigilance.
The two ordinary sixth-level strong men were still within the range that they could compete with, but the aura exuded by the leading sixth-level strong man was already comparable to that of the son chosen by the evil god, and he was obviously an overwhelmingly powerful existence.
Following the actions of the two old presidents, other subordinates present also tightened their weapons in their hands, looking solemn and ready for battle.
"Don't be nervous, the cinephile market will never harm anyone invited to the event."
The low and hoarse voice sounded again, and the burly figure of the sixth-level peak leader was seen standing in the city gate, waving his hands and saying: "Your Majesty, please allow me to introduce myself. I am the manager of the Miying Market.
He is also the one who sent the invitation letter to His Majesty."
After saying that, the other party nodded slightly and made a friendly gesture of nodding.
"I've met the manager."
Seeing that the other party had no ill intentions, Lei Xiao also waved his hand to signal his subordinates not to be too nervous, and then walked forward surrounded by everyone.
With the blessing of the fifth-level star-raising potion, Lei Xiao's strength has reached the peak of double-level fifth-level materials. Not only does he have the protection of Olandine to resist sixth-level attacks, but he also has some sixth-level protective scrolls as trump cards, which is enough to
Ensure your own safety within a certain period of time.
Lei Xiao nodded slightly in return and said, "Since the manager is willing to come forward in person, can you tell me what is going on?"
"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I need to do next."
The manager maintained due respect for Lei Xiao and responded: "As your majesty can see, the only participants in this meeting are indeed the human world represented by your majesty and the guards. This is also the case of the cinephile market since the blank era.
This is the first time that the human world has been officially invited to attend the conference.”
"Because after my careful evaluation, under the leadership of His Majesty, the human world has reached the minimum threshold for participating in the cinephile market."
There was a bit of pride in the manager's voice, and he added: "As for why I chose this destination, it certainly has a profound meaning."
"Oh? Then please explain to the manager, why only the human race is invited this time, and why the venue of the meeting is chosen here."
Lei Xiao crossed his arms and looked at the opponent covered in a fully enclosed helmet with great interest.
"To be honest with Your Majesty, the answer actually only has two words, and that is trial."
The manager's voice was calm and he began to explain: "Although the human race has reached the threshold to participate in the market, as the manager of the cinephile market, I have the responsibility to confirm whether the human race has the strength to match the qualifications to participate. After all,
This is the first time that the human race has participated in the meeting at an official level."
"A trial?"
After hearing the other party's words, Lei Xiao looked at Gars behind him in confusion, and the latter had a confused look on his face. Apparently he didn't know that he needed to go through a trial to participate in the enchantment market.
"Your Majesty may not know something, but there are two types of invitations to the Movie Fair."
The manager obviously noticed Lei Xiao's hesitation and began to introduce it seriously.
"The first is a personal invitation. The market will invite some well-known powerful people from the outside world to participate in the meeting as individuals, and they are allowed to bring a companion. Presumably, your subordinates who have participated in the meeting entered in this way.
Market.”
"The second type is the official invitation, which is the invitation letter received by His Majesty. The official invitation letter not only allows more travelers and guards to attend the meeting, but also allows them to enter the core market if they are qualified.
That’s where the official powerful men of all races gather, so your Majesty must know the benefits, right?”
There was a smile in the manager's voice, and he continued: "There, not only can you exchange things for things, but you also have the opportunity to get to know the senior leaders of powerful tribes. This is the best way for informal diplomacy. After all, from
Judging from His Majesty’s actions in the past few days, it is obvious that He will not stick to this corner of the human world.”
"I understand what the manager means."
Lei Xiao looked directly at the faceless fully enclosed heavy helmet and asked: "So, only after passing the trial can the human race be truly qualified to enter the cinephile market?"
"As expected of your Majesty, you really do get it right."
There was a touch of appreciation in the manager's voice, and he responded: "As for why the location was chosen here, I don't need to say more? Because the content of the trial is related to the Upside Down Canyon."
"Then please tell me, the manager, the specific content of the trial."
Lei Xiao's face did not show any expression, and he nodded slightly.
"That is to go to the central area of the Upside Down Canyon and look for a resource called gravity prisms. The more the better."
Although the manager's hoarse voice did not show any ripples, the speed of his speech was obviously accelerated, and he replied: "How is it? The content of the trial is very simple, right?"
"It is said that the special energy vortex generated in some parts of the Upside Down Canyon can easily tear even a fifth-level powerhouse into pieces. At least for the current human race, this is not easy."
Lei Xiao bluntly expressed his opinion, and then asked: "Besides, the manager's description of the gravity prism is too general. What kind of resource is it?"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the trial, I have collected a gravity prism in advance."
??????55.??????
The manager's thick gauntlet was turned up, and a translucent brown crystal the size of a fist emerged.
"Your Majesty, this is an energy-depleted gravity prism, while the one located in the Upside Down Canyon is full of energy. It is like those rocks suspended several meters above the ground. It should be easy to find."
The manager's voice became a little more urgent, and he continued: "Then without further ado, please Your Majesty, please start the trial immediately."
"It took a long time, but it turned out to be just a trial."
I saw Louise eagerly walking forward, grabbing Lei Xiao's lapel and saying, "Lord, let your subordinates find those brown crystal stones for you!"
"Haha, this lady is the true ancestor of the blood clan, right? I didn't expect that His Majesty could even take such a mysterious figure under his command."
There was a touch of approval in the manager's voice, and he nodded and said: "With the help of the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan, Your Majesty will definitely be able to capture it."
"That's natural. Although my strength is only half a step to the sixth level, I am working hard to become a real sixth-level powerhouse!"
Louise puffed up her chest, raised her face towards Lei Xiao and said, "Lord, just look at your subordinates!"
"Not urgent."
Just when Louise was eager to give it a try, Lei Xiao just touched the former's head, then turned to the city gate and said: "Your Excellency, manager, before leaving, I still have two questions that you need to answer."
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter."
The manager coughed lightly and returned to his original calm state.
"First question, after the human race passes the trial, when will the real cinephile fair be held? Have other races been invited?"
Lei Xiao didn't hesitate and asked quickly: "Second question, does every force that is officially invited need to complete the trial?"
"If the answer is yes, why did the administrator send us an invitation letter to attend the meeting instead of a special invitation letter for the trial or other trial letters?"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the manager was speechless. Even the two sixth-level market guards behind him who had been silent for a long time began to look at each other, obviously not expecting Lei Xiao to ask questions continuously.
After a while, just when the manager's hoarse voice came out, he was interrupted by Lei Xiao.
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Your Excellency, Manager, we should wait until we pass the trial to reveal the answers to these things. What do you think?"
"Since Your Majesty agrees to conduct the trial, everything will be at your Majesty's discretion."
The manager seemed to be relieved, and did not say anything else. Instead, he turned around and walked towards the city, and said non-stop: "I look forward to good news from your majesty. The market will make way for your majesty."
As the manager's words fell, other market guards followed closely, and the giant gate began to close quickly.
The moment the giant gate of the city closed, the entire city disappeared completely. In another flash, it had moved from directly in front of us to directly behind us, completely revealing the entrance to the Upside Down Canyon.
"Let's go."
Lei Xiao nodded to his subordinates and took his own steps first.
Not long after the group left, Louise tilted her head and said with confusion on her fair face: "Lord, why was that big brown guy speechless in the end? It's because the Lord was talking about two questions.
, and ended up asking four questions?”
As soon as Louise said this, everyone in the group couldn't help but smile.
Yoniel was seen gently stroking his gray beard, and after obtaining Lei Xiao's consent, he explained: "Of course it's because His Majesty asked about the other party's vital points, so the other party was at a loss for words."
"Vital point?"
Louise's delicate face became even more confused as she asked, "What's the harm?"
"Judging from the other party's explanation, although the reason for the trial sounds very reasonable, there is one thing that is confusing, that is, the hints given by the other party seem to be too many."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and explained: "Since the gravity prism exists in the Upside Down Canyon, then the other party only needs to tell us its shape. But the other party not only told us that it is specifically located in the center of the canyon, but also took out
We were shown specific crystal stones as if we were afraid that we wouldn’t find them.”
"Your Lordship is right, and in the process of describing it, although it is not easy to detect, the speed of speech has obviously accelerated. It is obvious that he is extremely eager for this kind of gravity prism."
Ye Cang nodded thoughtfully, pushing up his gold-rimmed glasses and echoed: "From this point of view, rather than saying this is a trial, it is better to say that the other party specifically asked us to help find this kind of resource."
"Ah? Then aren't we treated as free labor by the other side? These cunning big brown guys!"
Louise looked like she suddenly understood, and said to Lei Xiao: "Lord, since you have already thought of this level, why do you still agree to them?"
"The answer is simple. Since the other party is so desperate for this resource, and once we find it, the next initiative will naturally be in our hands."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly and responded: "So we still have to go on this trip."
"My subordinates understand completely. It was the lord who had seen everything in advance. That's why he didn't listen to the other party's last words, right?"
Louise nodded her head in sudden enlightenment and blurted out: "Because it can be confirmed from the other party's speechlessness that there must be something fishy in this! Everything is just as the Lord expected. This is obviously not a real trial, but
The other party asked us to help them find the crystal stones under the guise of a trial!"
"That's right, so even if we listen to the other party's last words, it is just the other party's temporary excuse and has no practical significance. It is better to listen to the other party's inner thoughts after we find what the other party needs.
"
Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile and gave an affirmative answer.
"As expected of the lord, my subordinates have already fallen under the lord's boots!"
Louise nodded excitedly, and immediately there was a trace of confusion on her petite face, and she said doubtfully: "But Lord, the opponent is obviously stronger than us, why do you have to go to all the trouble to let us come here to find Crystal?"
stone?"
As Louise's words fell, the chaotic energy particles in the surrounding air became more active, and the group was already very close to the Upside Down Canyon.
