Liu Xiao was almost certain that he had fallen under someone's illusion just now without being aware of it at all. However, everything in the illusion was so real that he was unaware of it.
Now think about it, on the street in front of the house, there are always guards from the Quinan Doyle Chamber of Commerce, but in the fantasy, there is no such obvious difference, but I can't see it. How to say, I can only say that it's good that the other party didn't want to
Take your own life, otherwise it will be very dangerous.
Wait, logically speaking, there is always a subtle transition between reality and illusion. In the past, I could vaguely grasp it, but this time, there was no such thing.
Liu Xiao looked at the paper crane in his hand. Perhaps, because he was attracted by this small thing, he missed the sudden change.
Quite interesting.
Blood Lotus, House of Dark Words.
...
In the word room, the Four Hoof Chamber of Commerce's materials have been counted and even the valuations have been completed.
The head of the Yu clan gave an overall quotation of 28,870 souls. Liu Xiao, who was already interested in becoming a hands-off shopkeeper, naturally let Tanya make her own decision.
In fact, there was no consideration. She just asked her to say the word "deal". Anyway, there was no place to check the price now.
After staying with him for a long time, Tanya's personality will be affected to some extent, and she will become well-behaved and docile. This is a good side, but there is also a bad side, that is, she will lose her opinion and gradually bury and hide the elf princess.
.
This is not what Liu Xiao wants to see, so now that he has returned to the world of order, he leaves many things to Tanya to make her own decisions.
As for why the Four Hoof Merchant Guild emptied their fortunes into supplies worth less than 30,000 souls, the reason is that their inventory is mostly hard-selling goods, which are easy to sell and cash out quickly, which also means that the value of each individual item is not high.
, it is impossible to compare with a pervert like Liu Xiao who gathers evil wool.
After completing three transactions, not only did I get the medicines, pills, herbs, books, skill star stones, and formulas I wanted, but I also had a surplus of more than 64,000 essences.
Energy crystal is not money, it is just an exchange of equal value, it is the energy that all living beings need, but it is indeed wealth.
After all the money was cleared, the head of the Yu clan was very considerate and gave the three elves a lot of gifts, including hundreds of sets of clothing of various styles and materials, a whole box of accessories, and a box of perfume for each person, with all kinds of scents.
There are also all kinds of weird headwear, hats, boots, etc.
There are no cosmetics or skin care products in Sloan because they are not needed, and no one puts toxic things on their bodies.
In addition, a large table of delicious food is being prepared on the second floor. Yana and Rem have been very hungry for a long time. They had been reserved and silent before, but now they have delicious food and wine in front of them, and they have been with Tanya for a long time.
The contact was no longer so raw. Finally, I no longer had any scruples and started eating and drinking freely.
Liu Xiao's food is indeed delicious, but he eats it with a purpose. Sitting at the dining table, he only occasionally takes a pill to increase his energy level.
During this period, Shi Nuo finally came back.
Dudu Rou, who sat at the dining table together, ate happily and brought back news about the meeting.
The process of the meeting was just as Liu Xiao expected. It was really like a hundred schools of thought contending, and the atmosphere was chaotic. The twenty-one forces went from questioning each other, suspecting that certain forces were involved in the strangulation against Four Hoofs, to ridiculing two chambers of commerce.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Si Hoo's warehouse was evacuated, and the issues of damage to the city and compensation from the battle were discussed, as well as possible subsequent retaliatory actions by Qi Xiao.
There was a lot of noise and swearing, but some of the agenda items still came to fruition.
Taken together, we came to a consensus on five points:
1. Set up an investigation team with members appointed by various forces to figure out the causes and consequences of the collapse of the Four Hoof Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, each company uses its own intelligence network to provide intelligence for the investigation.
Second, the two chambers of commerce, Assad and Soko, who looted the Situ Warehouse, are responsible for rebuilding the destroyed city.
3. Inform the living beings in the Tomb of the Dead that the riots in Moro City have ended.
Fourth, seal the free door of the Four Hoof Chamber of Commerce, and all forces will send combat forces to guard it.
Five, immediately resume all business operations,
Somewhat perfunctory, but in the end some conclusions were drawn.
What surprised Liu Xiao was that no one planned to give an explanation to Qi Xiao, nor did they say what they would do after the investigation results were obtained.
Shi Nuo quickly answered his two confusions. The Qixiao race itself is just a branch of Tailong and has little strength. Since the matter was not done by the forces here, there is no need to give any explanation. If it is gone, it will be gone. The so-called
The investigation was just for peace of mind. Everyone knew that a holy beast was involved in the attack. Even if such a strong man was found out, he would only be fawning over him.
It is true that in a Xiaoqian world, sages are already regarded as super bugs. Think about the Yaden Xiaoqian in the past. A high-level practitioner can call the wind and rain, suppressing the local creatures and unable to lift their heads, that is, the Tomb of the Dead Xiaoqian
The ingredients are relatively complex, otherwise there would not be so many messengers at all.
With these bloody skulls setting the tone, the story of the Four Hoof Merchant Guild has turned a new chapter.
Soon, the streets became lively again, and the creatures who had escaped from the city returned in droves.
Since entering Moro City, Tanya has almost stayed in the Danzi House and has never left the house. Liu Xiao asked her to take the two elves out for a walk. If she met any novelties she liked, she bought them all. It was easy to leave the dangerous wasteland.
You also have to go out and soak up the smoke. Life can't always be content with what's in front of you.
Tanya was really bored and agreed readily.
Shi Nuo asked the leader of the Yu Clan who was familiar with Moruo City to accompany him, and the guards were naturally indispensable. It was not that he was worried about being attacked and killed, but mainly because he was afraid that some lustful people would make rude remarks, and if something unexpected happened to make someone angry.
, and a bloody storm is inevitable.
.......
In the center of the city, under a spire hundreds of meters high, is a huge black-gray building. From a distance, it looks like the shape of St. Edward's crown.
This is the Dark Word House and the place where Xiaoqian of the Dead Tomb originated.
A sailboat slowly landed in front of the door of the Dark Word House.
Two members of the Yu clan carried an open-topped sedan and jumped off the windboat. On the sedan, sat Shinuo, the head of the Kuinan Doyle Chamber of Commerce.
"Aren't you being a little too exaggerated?"
Liu Xiao followed on one side, and behind him was Heizi who covered his face with a hood.
"I can't help it. It's too big inside. If I have to walk with you all the way, you will probably be annoyed to death before I tire myself to death."
Shi Nuohan said with a smile.
There were only two Orc guards in front of the gate, and the emblem of the Quinan Doyle Chamber of Commerce was hung on their armor. They were obviously Shinuo's people.
The two orcs beat their chests with their fists to show their respect for Shi Nuo, and then, without asking anything or checking anything, they let the group of people pass.
"There is no defense in Moro City, and each family takes turns guarding the Dark Word House. It happened to be our turn to be on duty."
Shinuo explained.
"Just two guards?"
Liu Xiao did not expect that such an important building would have such lax defenses.
"The two of them just pretended to take away the corpses of some intruders. They are not the ones really guarding the door here," Shi Nuo said, taking the bloody skull in his hand, "Take this out."
Liu Xiao took out a crystal skull and asked, "Does everyone need it?"
Shi Nuo nodded, "Must."
Seeing Shi Nuo's serious attitude, even the two feather men carrying his sedan were holding one each, Liu Xiao had no choice but to throw a golden skull to Heizi.
The moment he stepped into the door, the surroundings were dark, and even the Night Owl's skills were unable to see anything. He could only feel that the skull in his hand seemed to be radiating heat.
"Don't worry, this is the real power of the Dark Word House and the origin of the Dark Word."
Shi Nuo's voice came from the side. He was obviously very close, but he couldn't be seen at all.
"What's weird about this?"
After walking some distance, the vision returns to clarity.
"This building is made of soul stone. This kind of rock is not only hard, but can also produce a secret curse. If a person without a skull breaks in, he will die."
Liu Xiao looked at the skull in his hand and asked, "What exactly is this thing? Why won't it be affected by it?"
"The head of the Cave Light Monkey. This kind of monkey lives in the cave of Suohun Rock. It's ironic that two completely opposite beliefs are actually dependent on each other."
"Different skulls correspond to different secret spells?"
"Yes, that's right. All the treasures sold in the Dark Word House are treasures. Some come from forces like us, while others are put here for consignment by strong men. The further you go up, the rarer the items become."
"The entire Dark Word House is made of this kind of rock? Isn't it expensive?"
Liu Xiao raised his head and looked up. In the center of the more than twenty-meter-high ceiling, there was a dark circle, which should be the entrance to the upper floor. Obviously, people with only white skulls could not go up.
"Indeed, but it's worth it."
"How to say?"
"Think about it, if twenty-two forces send their strong men here to serve as guards, what will happen?" Shi Nuo asked and answered with a smile, "Haha, I'm afraid Moro City is long gone, can it be used?
If you can solve problems with energy crystals, don’t use your fists.”
Liu Xiao nodded in agreement.
It seems that the IQ of businessmen is still online.
