Lu Li looked around at the ugly, hunched earth dwellers and chaotic miner slaves surrounding the platform.
"From the Main Continent to the desolate land, from evil spirits and evil gods to evil spirits and weird spirits, your reputation is known to everyone..." The elder of the earth dwellers grinned with crooked teeth.
Their only target was Lu Li, and other passengers were driven away from the platform by the relatively lawful earth dwellers.
"What's the matter?"
Lu Li stared at those abominable mining slaves who were like a ball of muscle growth. The contact with the Earth-dwelling Merchant Company was obviously not a friendly one.
“Diju people sincerely invite our customers and products to visit our business.”
"Is the evil spirit ritual related to you?" Lu Li connected the clues.
The smile of the elder Earth dweller made people shudder, and the young Earth dweller approached Lu Li with a newspaper.
"The person who rings the death knell of the evil god, the holder and controller of the cursed title, the lord of the land of light, the legendary exorcist, the dreamer, the lighthouse, the blood whisperer, the crown of knowledge, Your Excellency Lu Li personally visits the Midnight City Terminal"
The long title means that the Diju Ren Trading Company has already been prepared, waiting for Lu Li to run into the trap.
"You did the newspaper ceremony, are you related to the parchment?"
Lu Li suddenly realized the power behind the Dijuren Trading Company: Swampland.
"What is parchment?"
The parchment is the embodiment of the swamp, of course they don't know it.
Lu Li fell into silence. The Earth dweller trading company still didn't know that it knew - the deal between the Earth dwellers and the swamp.
"What does merchandise mean?"
"The stage we have laid for you - the entire Midnight City Main Station will know your arrival, and half of the desolate land will gather here because of your arrival to participate in this auction. And you will be the finale of this auction.
Taste."
The human language of the earth-dwelling elders was clear enough, and even seemed elegant because of the ancient accent that sounded like an aristocrat.
"We are allies."
Lu Li observed his surroundings. The dreamer might be able to escape the enemy, but this is an old sewer and there is no place to escape: "Are you so short-sighted?"
Of course the earth dwellers are so short-sighted, and that is why they betray Midnight City.
Lu Li didn't get an answer. Only the earth dwellers and miner slaves approached and controlled him. They took away the Crown of Thorns, the psychic gun, the stomach bag, the Doomsday Apocalypse Book, and searched everything except clothes.
When the ancient stone seal was taken away, Lu Li almost released the dreamer, but he still endured it.
"Who are you..."
Sensing the owner's change, the whisper of the Swamp Mother spread to the Crown of Thorns, which was destroyed as the mine slaves tore the branches apart.
Lu Li did nothing and allowed the earth dwellers to control him and leave the platform, heading towards their lair.
He must wait for the opportunity, and the dreamer who is not yet known is the only chance.
The local residents paraded along the way to promote the exorcist who was here as a "guest" and the auction three days later.
They entered through the main entrance of the Earth dweller trading house, and then it became meaningless to find the way. The Earth dwellers, who were good at drilling holes, took Lu Li up the mine ladder and descended into an abyss dungeon with an unknown depth.
The damp rock wall reflected the cold light as the earth dwellers escorted Lu Li through the dead and cold passage and locked him into the deepest cell.
"Please wait for a few days. We will take you out when the auction starts." The words of the local elder came through the iron door.
Lu Li asked it at this time: "Can I contact my allies to participate in the auction house?"
If the earth dwellers are really short-sighted... they won't refuse.
"Of course, of course." Lu Li could almost imagine the earth-dwelling elder behind the iron gate grinning with Hadesian joy: "Exorcist, you can also let your allies participate in the auction, and I will inform you on your behalf.
Allies."
The footsteps outside the cell faded away. Lu Li looked around the cell inlaid with fluorite, sat down and began to wait.
The mother of the swamp, who was waiting to know what had happened, told the merchant not to answer the call, and the short-sighted earth dwellers came back to ask him to contact his allies.
The Mother Goddess will definitely be able to save him, but at the cost of his life, Lu Li puts her last priority - even lower than the dreamer.
The plant habitats are too far away, and the sacred towns such as Storm Point and Coal Mountain Town will not travel across the land because of their weak connections. The worms may come to the rescue, but it is impossible for the Earth-dwelling Merchant Company not to protect the "finale auction".
The only ones who were willing to come here for Lu Li were his allies in the Land of Light, and neither the Swamp Mother nor the Twisted Shadow had the power to take him away.
Lu Li thought about the Lord of Dreams. Did it encounter this scene? Is what happened at this time "not a bad ending"?
For example, is the buyer a benevolent being?
In the end, Lu Li decided to contact the Land of Light, but only asked the Swamp Mother to send merchants to participate in the auction.
He has a way out of the predicament, but he may not be able to leave safely if they come.
There are advantages to being weak as original sin - being as insignificant as dust.
Just as Lu Li expected, the local residents realized that they could not use the eyes to contact his allies, so they returned to the abyss dungeon and gave Lu Li the eyes to contact him personally.
The Earth dwellers watched as Lu Li summoned the merchant Anthony and asked him to tell the Swamp Mother to prepare strange currency to participate in tomorrow's Earth dweller auction.
"In the evening, the first session."
Earth dwellers who are not familiar with human language add stiffly. Therefore, they need lots of sufficient weight, such as Lu Li.
The merchant Anthony disappeared, and the earth dwellers left the depths with echoing footsteps, but there was a footstep that lingered and never disappeared until the mine slave guards drove it away.
"Get out...go!"
The unknown ripples disappeared, and the dungeon returned to deathly silence.
If Lu Li wants to escape, now is a good opportunity.
But thinking about the sacred artifact that could confuse the Earth dwellers' perception, Lu Li continued to hold back and wait for the only chance to come.
The next day, Lu Li was taken out of the Abyss Dungeon. The earth dwellers took him to his room to freshen up, dress up, restore him to his exorcist image, and even returned the psychic gun.
Symbolic shackles clasped Lu Li's hands, and the locals led him onto the auction stage.
The auction house was in a warm atmosphere, and Lu Li came to the auction stage indifferently and greeted countless gazes. The atmosphere of the weird people in the hall was a strange mixture of greed, covetousness and desire.
It suddenly occurred to him that the survivors of Midnight City might appear here.
Are they the target of the Earth Dwellers?
Lu Li had no way of knowing, and a twisted shadow enveloped him. He closed his eyes to block the hallucination caused by looking at the evil spirit for too long.
Dong dong dong——
The pounding of the auction hammer suppressed the trivial hum of the auction house.
"From the Main Continent to the desolate land, from evil spirits and evil gods to evil spirits and weird spirits, his reputation is known to everyone! The person who rings the death knell of the evil god, curses the title holder and controller, the lord of the land of light.
, legendary exorcist, dreamer, lighthouse, bloodspeaker, crown of knowledge, Your Excellency Lu Li!"
