In an unusually dark forest path, a burly figure was slowly moving towards the center of the forest.
The night fog in the forest seed to be too heavy, and it was a bit humid. The air was filled with the sll of soil, grass, and so animal feces. A normal person would not co to this place in the middle of the night.
Tang Qi was not a normal person, but he didn't like it here either.
At this mont, he was walking on a path covered by wild grass that had almost beco invisible. His nose sniffed from ti to ti, there were many subtle odors in the air, and from his judgnt as a secret pharmacist, they were hallucinogenic, probably so poisonous mushrooms.
So mories about this forest ca to mind.
For the original owner to have mories of this place. It was clear that this forest had so reputation in Moses City, but not the good type of reputation.
The Rotten Truffle Forest was once a forest suitable for the growth of rare foodstuff like truffles. Later, an elderly rich man returned to his hotown and built a manor in the depths of the forest. He originally ca to enjoy his old age.
But later, an infectious disease broke out in the manor, and all the entire manor fell victim to it. Since then, the forest seed to be sick. Although the trees were still lush and leafy, they looked lifeless. Those rare truffles also rotted and couldn't grow out again. On the contrary, so poisonous mushrooms that were hallucinogenic broke out on a large scale. "
Since then, the na of this place has been changed to Rotten Truffles.
"A very appropriate na!"
Tang Qi said flatly, sniffing the faint stench in the air.
At the sa ti, the end of the subrged path in front of him suddenly opened up, and the corner of a broken manor was reflected in his eyes.
Here we are!
The temporary gathering place of this extraordinary trade fair!
Tang Qi deliberately slowed down his pace, and at this ti, so rustling sounds suddenly sounded around him. Figures appeared in all directions of the forest, and their target seed to be the abandoned manor in the center.
When Tang Qi stood at the open entrance, around a dozen figures also appeared around the manor at the sa ti. Obviously, Tang Qi was not the only one who walked on the entrance path.
And the number of people, presumably only a dozen people. However, because the manor covered half of Tang Qi's line of sight, the number of people should at least be double.
"There are so many wild extraordinary people in Moses City?"
When Tang Qi raised this doubt in his heart, those figures had already gathered towards the manor.
There was no need to show his difference, so as if he was "familiar" with these matters, he followed the crowd to the manor.
As they got closer, Tang Qi saw these people more clearly. Different from what he had expected, there were a dozen people, and most of them looked very ordinary, there were young n and won and so old people. There was also nothing special about their attire.
But there was a hint of excitent on their faces.
They seed to be still imrsed in the excitent of entering the market last ti. A few people who were familiar with each other gathered together and whispered while talking.
Most of the sentences floated into Tang Qi's ears.
"I'm so excited I wonder what eye-opening things I will see this ti."
"Yeah, who would have thought that there really existed a mysterious world? The last trade fair was too lively. I actually saw a centaur, which is a legendary creature."
"Unfortunately, most sellers only accept the conditions of bartering. I can't buy those magical items with Divine Grace Gold Coins."
"So sellers are willing to accept gold coins, but what they sell are so herbs with unknown effects. A guy bought them on the spot and ate them, resulting in his direct death. It was so frightening.
"We have to do a verification this ti, but I don't know with what thod. If by any chance we're eliminated, then"
Tang Qi followed the young n and won unhurriedly. They were all dressed in a non-mainstream manner. His eyes swept past, and the result of the feedback made him freeze for a mont.
Among these people, apart from a fat woman with purple eyeshadows, none of them were extraordinary.
He subconsciously looked at the other figures, and it turned out that not everyone glowed with a dim light.
There were close to twenty figures, but only half of them were extraordinary.
"No wonder the initiator of the market required verification of their qualifications. The information fragnt of the seal claims that the market which is about to take shape will only conduct extraordinary transactions, and only accept extraordinary human beings, or freaks and monsters with intelligence."
"But how can these people who can only be said to be enthusiasts or contacts get their seals?"
Tang Qi used a newly learned word. According to the summary of the Old Castle Bureau, people who had co into contact with the mystical side, but did not have the corresponding power, or only had one or two low-level mystical objects, were generally referred to as contacts.
At first glance, Tang Qi only saw a glow of light from half of the people, and the other half did not.
Perhaps they had obtained their seal from sowhere, so they regarded this market as the "entrance" to the mystical world.
Isn't this the plot in those fantasy movies and novels?
The ignorant protagonist entered the extraordinary market by accident, and then luckily obtained a treasure and embarked on a glorious road.
Unfortunately, reality was not a movie.
The organization that chose the venue to be in such a place did not seem to be biased towards the camp of justice and order.
The crowd walked through a courtyard full of fallen leaves, a dried-up pool, mossy floor tiles, and complex corridors. Soon, they entered the most central area of the manor, a lawn surrounded by high walls between two abandoned villas.
When the more than a dozen people stepped on the lawn, there were also more than twenty figures on the opposite side.
However, at this mont, the eyes of both parties were completely attracted by a tall figure on the lawn.
It was a big man at least two ters tall. Under the black robe, his strong body could not be hidden. Coupled with that haircut, one could imagine the power of oppression that he would have when he stood in front of you.
However, when the big man was wearing a pair of single-rimd glasses, the picture looked a little weird.
Like a gentleman, he gracefully clapped his hands, and then said, "Everyone, ti is precious, I think we should start the verification imdiately. This will determine how many people can catch upUh, the real market after an hour. "
This man with glasses pretending to be very elegant was very straightforward.
"There are two ways to verify, you choose one yourself."
"The first thod is to directly prove that you are an extraordinary human. You can try to show a little power and gain his recognition. Then you will be qualified to enter the market."
"Secondly, if you are unwilling to divulge your information, you can also find this man and follow him to a place, accept employnt, and clean up so contaminated low-level freaks. As long as you can co out alive, not only will you be eligible for admission, but also receive our rewards."
During the speech, he pointed to his left and right sides respectively.
There stood mysterious n in black cloaks.
As soon as his words fell, the crowd imdiately rioted.
Although everyone had a seal in hand, it was different from last ti. This ti, it needed to be verified, and both thods seed to completely eliminate the participation of ordinary people.
This made almost half of the ordinary people in the crowd naturally express their dissatisfaction and reluctance, and the big fellow seed to have foreseen this scene.
