My shop! My products!
This is the sixth time in half a year!
On average, once a month! Your damn experiment doesn't make a single coin except for destruction, fire, and explosions! A month ago, an idiot paid for your invention, and it was blown to pieces before it even left the black market.
The people who were responsible for cleaning up the bodies and garbage complained to me that they spent four hours and still couldn't clean up the broken body parts and bloodstains."
The male dwarf grabbed the female dwarf by the collar and roared angrily.
The former was obviously not young anymore, with a beard as long as a human's chest, and his head was almost completely bald, with only a little hair on the back of his head, but it was also burned in the explosion.
In contrast, the latter looked quite young, wearing a garment that looked a bit like a robe with a lot of hard leather and rivets sewn on it, and had a faint arcane aura under magical vision.
Needless to say, it was the strange clothes that protected her from any harm in the explosion.
He also wore a helmet that looked like a leather flight cap and crystal goggles on his head.
"You can't blame me last time! It was that idiot who didn't follow the instructions! And my inventions are useful, it's just that no smart person has discovered the potential of these formulas yet."
The female dwarf called Manabu loudly retorted without showing any weakness.
However, the older male dwarf was obviously fed up with this kind of life of fear all day long. He pushed his fellow man to the ground and roared angrily: "I don't want to listen to your sophistry! I am not interested in those bullshit inventions!
Now you are fired.
Get as far away from me as possible.
You are no longer allowed in my store.
I really regret that I was so foolish as to agree to take in a dangerous person like you."
"Bah! Old stubborn, one day you will regret what you did today. My invention will make a lot of money one day."
Manabu struggled to get up from the ground, spat rudely at the old dwarf, then picked up some undamaged things that belonged to him from the ruins, limped away with a heavy backpack at the end of the dark waterway, and his lonely back looked quite desolate.
But considering the damage caused by the explosion, she deserved it to some extent.
The quarrel between the two dwarfs obviously attracted the attention of many people in the black market, but no one came forward to intervene. They just watched from afar.
In addition, the dwarves in the world of Greyhawk, like those in the continent of Faerun, are born with unique talents in illusion magic and creative inventions.
Especially in places like the black market, gnome wizards and craftsmen can often make very useful things.
For example, there are arrows and small continuous mechanical crossbows that can be filled with different magical effects after hitting the target. There are also special props that can produce smoke, poison gas, strong flashes, etc. when thrown, or carefully prepared fire glue, strong acid bottles and magic potions.
Many members of the Thieves Guild will purchase points in case of emergency when carrying out dangerous missions.
Therefore, all dwarves who can gain a foothold in the black market have close cooperation with local gang forces, and no one dares to cause trouble to them easily.
Just as Zuo Si was analyzing the cause of the explosion with great interest, the young thief who had disappeared for a while finally came back with a coin carved out of red crystal.
Without saying anything, he stuffed the coin into his employer's hands and warned him in a low voice, "In fifteen minutes, take this coin to the tavern west of the black market and give it to the thinnest-looking waitress. She will then take you to the auction site. Be careful, I heard there will be many tough guys at this auction."
"Magic items?"
Zuo Si fiddled with the crystal coin in his hand with a look of surprise.
Although it is only a magical artifact of the lowest level, as something with permanent and constant enchantment, its cost obviously cannot be too low.
What's more, this thing has no practical use at all. It is simply used as an anti-counterfeiting mark.
“You have good vision.
It is indeed a specially crafted magical item.
Generally speaking, the black market will only use this red crystal coin as an entry ticket when there are auction items of very high value.
The entrance fee of hundreds of gold coins can also eliminate those poor people with insufficient financial resources, allowing powerful sellers to bid.
Most importantly, the organizers of the auction will use the power of magic to hide the identity of each buyer to ensure that after the auction is over, no desperate criminals will take the risk of killing and robbing.
So in theory it is safe and you don't have to worry too much."
The boy lowered his voice and introduced some of the rules of the black market and auction.
Although he looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, his hands were covered with calluses from holding a dagger and a sword for a long time. His eyes occasionally flashed with ferocity, and it was obvious that he had killed people a long time ago, at least a dozen or twenty times.
"Do you think I'm worried about safety?" Zuo Si asked with a sneer.
Hearing this, the boy was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
“Haha, yes, how could a guy like you who loves to do evil things worry about his own safety?
After all, more than half of the rich and powerful men in Greyhawk City want to kill you, and the other half have already begun to take practical action in secret.
The cumulative bounty amount alone is almost reaching 50,000 gold coins.
To be honest, I really don't understand how you are still alive.
Under normal circumstances, if an ordinary person had provoked any of those families, his body would have been eaten by the fish in the moat by now.
By the way, how do the beautiful ladies and girls from famous families feel? There are rumors that you got some of them pregnant, so those men are so angry. "
Seeing the curiosity and gossip in the thief's eyes, Zuo Si immediately chuckled and shook his head: "Don't listen to the rumors outside.
My communication with those ladies was limited to pure language and spiritual aspects.
Otherwise, their fathers, husbands and suitors would have already taken legal action against me.
As for the taste you are interested in, I can only tell you that apart from the extra sense of conquest and possessiveness brought by identity, status, education and family, these ladies are not much different from the young and beautiful women among the civilians.
Of course, considering that sexual taste is subjective, everyone's XP will be slightly different, so you can only know the actual feeling after trying it yourself.
How about I take you with me to the next party? There are several older ladies who like young and wild handsome boys like you.
By then, you won't have to risk your life like you do now. You can easily get a generous reward by satisfying their desires."
"No, thank you. I don't want to be stabbed for no reason one day and then have my body found in the sewer or the moat."
The thief boy shook his head without hesitation to reject the tempting proposal.
What a joke! Although this kind of work sounds easy and exciting, it is actually many times more dangerous than working in the black market.
Once caught, those families who want money and power will inevitably choose to kill to vent their anger.
After all, for a cuckolded husband, killing his wife who has the same status as himself may lead to a series of serious consequences, but killing a "gigolo" who has no identity or status is quite easy.
The young thief didn't dare to bet that he would have the same good luck as Zuo Si.
Moreover, he had already inquired about it. The reason why no one in the underground forces in the city dared to accept the high reward until now was most likely a warning from Master Baye.
In this world, few people dare to ignore the Eight Leaves, especially the words of the supreme leader Mordenkainen.
"Hahahaha! I like your caution. It can help you avoid many dangers and survive longer in dangerous environments."
Zuo Si laughed and patted the boy on the shoulder, then walked straight towards the tavern where the auction was held.
Since the sewers in this area had long been dug into a maze-like underground town, they did not stink like normal sewers. There was not even any sewage. Instead, there was a thick layer of soil on the ground.
Some house owners also use magical light sources to plant a small number of plants and flowers in front of and behind their houses.
As for domestic garbage and sewage, they are transported to the garbage pipe next door through another pipe.
If you are a first-time visitor to Greyhawk City, it would be hard to imagine that underneath this prosperous and wealthy free city-state, there is a small town with thousands of people living there.
With the help of dark vision, Zuo Si saw the illegal transactions going on in those corners, as well as the crimes that were enough to make ordinary people feel horrified.
A necromancer even picked out a few skinny guys from the iron cages where slaves were held, and after paying, he killed them directly, resurrecting them as zombies or ghouls under his control.
Others bought the corpse of a four or five-year-old child with a sealed soul, and made it into some kind of small undead creature similar to a magical pet that obeys their orders.
The most terrifying thing is that the people around me don’t react at all to this kind of behavior. It’s obvious that they have become accustomed to it and don’t think there is anything wrong with it at all.
Just like in hell, whether it is the devil or other creatures, they often use souls as currency when buying things.
Obviously, this fully illustrates one point, that is, the Grey Eagle Council, which holds the highest power, is like many city rulers on the continent of Faerun, and the scope of its actual control is very limited, and most neighborhoods still have to rely on self-government.
The emptiness of the grassroots power structure will give rise to various guilds, especially the Thieves Guild that makes a living by committing crimes.
When these gangs and criminal organizations are fully integrated into the local communities, they will quickly settle down and become part of the city's economic and order ecology.
If anyone wants to touch them at that time, it will cause very serious social unrest, and even cause the civilian class to join in the fierce resistance.
Because these civilians are most likely relying on the work and order provided by gangs and criminal organizations to barely make ends meet.
This is why, during the expansion of the West Coast Empire, Zuo Si's first thing every time he occupied a city was to take action against the local Thieves Guild.
And they would rather kill until rivers of blood flow than compromise with those who join the resistance, and instead treat them as peripheral members of the Thieves Guild.
Only this most bloody, violent and cruel purge can completely eliminate the internal cancer without leaving any future troubles.
Otherwise, as the city develops and grows, the power of those criminal organizations will also expand, eventually infiltrating all aspects of society and becoming a member of the ruling class that is qualified to sit at the table.
Unfortunately, Mordenkainen apparently did not realize this, nor did he take advantage of the war to purge Grey Eagle.
Of course, it is not ruled out that this underground town is part of the "great balance" he advocated and was deliberately preserved.
After walking along the not-so-narrow pipe for about seven or eight minutes, Zuo Si finally arrived at the designated tavern.
It's different from the shabby and old one I imagined.
This two-story brick building, which was built on a whole section of pipe, is not only covered with tiles on the outside that flash blue, green and red fluorescent lights.
There were also several men and women who were scantily clad or naked, standing at the door, twisting their bodies and making all kinds of suggestive and provocative movements.
Half of them are humans, and the rest are elves, half-elves, tieflings, etc.
Perhaps it was because Zuo Si's recent actions in Grey Eagle City were too explosive, or perhaps there was a staggering bounty on his head...
Anyway, when he walked to the door, everyone stopped moving and stared with eyes wide open as if they couldn't believe what they saw.
"Please make way. I need to go in and participate in today's auction. Thank you very much."
Zuo Si held a red crystal coin between his right index and middle fingers and waved it in front of the other person's eyes. Then he carefully squeezed between the two curvy women, while deftly avoiding the thigh that another half-elf lady stretched out.
After entering the tavern, the first thing he saw was more than twenty tables made of hardwood, and more than forty warriors sitting nearby, some wearing armor and holding weapons, and some spellcasters wearing robes, cloaks and hoods.
But the interesting thing is that these guys neither drank nor chatted and boasted like ordinary guests. Instead, they sat quietly on the stools without saying a word, staring at each other with vigilant eyes, and their minds were obviously in a state of high alert.
With the help of Legilimency and other magics that can read memories and thoughts, Zuo Si easily figured out that all the people sitting in the tavern were tough guys like bodyguards and mercenaries.
Their task is to protect their employers so that they can bring the purchased treasures back safely after the auction.
"Welcome, would you like something to drink?"
Just as the atmosphere in the pub was becoming more and more depressing and tense, a thin woman who was a little over 1.5 meters tall near the bar forced a smile and took the initiative to ask.
"I suppose you recognize this?"
Zuo Si handed over the crystal coin in front of everyone, without any intention of concealing it.
His behavior instantly attracted the attention of everyone present. The thin woman standing in front of the bar froze in place. After a full minute, she raised her head and said in a very complicated tone: "You are really as bold and fearless as the rumors say.
He is indeed a madman who dares to seduce the female members of the twenty most powerful families in this city at the same time.
I'm very curious, what is your relationship with Mordenkainen? Why is he willing to warn everyone in this city again and again not to attack you?
It's not like him to be so tirelessly protective."
"You may not believe it, but Mordenkainen is not protecting me, but those who want to attack me. Because once they attack me, this city will be flooded with blood."
While saying this, Zuo Si looked around the entire tavern with a slightly playful look, especially at the mercenaries whose eyes were filled with greed and murderous intent.
Obviously, these guys were very jealous of the reward of tens of thousands of gold coins on the black market, and they wanted to rush up and chop off his head to exchange for money.
But the problem is that no one knows whether he can escape the hunt by powerful wizards such as Mordenkainen and Baye after doing this.
"Rivers of blood? You are so humorous."
The woman obviously thought the young man in front of her was bragging. She rolled her eyes in annoyance, then walked straight out of the bar and hooked her finger for Zuo Si to follow her.
The two walked along the narrow corridor through the kitchen and wine cellar, passed through several doors and rooms, and finally came to an empty secret room deeper in the room.
She simply handed the coin to a man with a goatee and whispered something in his ear.
A hint of shock flashed across the latter's eyes. He glanced in Zuo Si's direction, and finally nodded to indicate that he understood.
After the woman left, the man with a goatee came over with a cloak and a mask, and said with a smile: "Before entering the auction site, please wear the magic cloak and mask that can conceal your identity."
But Zuo Si waved his hand and refused: "No, no need, I don't think I need to hide my identity."
"Are you sure? You know, if your identity is exposed, if someone with bad intentions sets his eyes on you and the things you bought..."
Before the man with the goatee could finish his words, Zuo Si interrupted him bluntly, "I said no. I'm a bit bored lately, and if there are any reckless guys who dare to pay attention to me, it's a good way to kill some time."
"Well, since you insist, I have nothing more to say."
The man shrugged helplessly, then raised his arm and pointed at the black velvet curtain on the right side of the room.
Zuo Si opened the door and walked in without saying a word.
moment!
He then noticed that more than a dozen eyes were directed at him at the same time.
The owners of these gazes were obviously here to participate in the auction, and each of them was wearing a magic cloak and mask to conceal their identity.
They were obviously very surprised that someone dared to come in so brazenly without any cover.
Fortunately, the organizers did not give the buyers too much time to observe and test each other.
With the arrival of the last person, the secret underground auction soon began.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for coming.
In order to save your precious time, I will cut to the chase and directly introduce the first item for sale today, a ring with powerful magical powers.
Although it looks very ordinary, like a crudely crafted silver ring, if you look closely you will find eight stars shaped by arcane power on it.
According to experts' identification, this should be a Seeker's Signet Ring, belonging to Eli Tomorast, Mordenkain's former enemy.
After wearing it, you can cast Legend Mastery once a day.
The current base price is 5,000 gold coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 gold coins."
The host was a male tiefling wearing a gorgeous dress and with a slightly shrill voice.
He was obviously well aware that people who came to participate in such auctions often had strong purpose, and he did not need to make any exaggerated descriptions of the items for sale. He just read out the name of the first item for sale, as well as its origin and possible use, and then began to bid.
"Five thousand!"
"Eight thousand!"
"Ten thousand!"
"Fifteen thousand!"
…
With the voices coming one after another, the price of the ring was quickly raised to around 25,000.
After a short while, it was finally sold for twenty-eight thousand.
However, Zuo Si felt that the person who bought the ring was probably betting that its previous owner, Eli Tomorast, might have hidden some secrets in it.
He was a well-known and ruthless character in the world of Greyhawk. He had fierce conflicts with famous wizards such as Mordenkainen and Bigbai, and eventually died at the hands of Mordenkainen.
But later there were rumors that he was resurrected by the priests of Yeenoghu, the King of the Gnolls.
As to whether it is true or not, it is still unclear.
After all, there is a very important law in the universe where Toril is located, that is, the more important people are, the more difficult it is to completely eradicate them. Even if they die accidentally, there is a high probability that they will be resurrected at some time in the future.
Therefore, the hidden value of the Seeker's Ring and the Seeker organization behind Eli Tomorast are the real highlights.
Casting Legend Mastery once a day is just a bonus.
But Zuo Si was obviously not interested in this, so he was too lazy to even make a bid.
The second auction item is a +3 broadsword made of a special magical material called "Night Forge".
This is a very evil material, and anyone of good alignment who merely touches it will immediately gain a negative level.
There is no way to get it back unless you let it go.
In addition, creatures killed by this weapon cannot be resurrected by ordinary means and can only be resurrected by making a wish or performing a miracle.
The origin of the "Night-Made" materials was most likely dug out near the destroyed Temple of Evil Elements in the Gray Eagle World.
The weapon was eventually bought by another mysterious buyer at a high price of 60,000 gold coins.
The third item was said to be a magic book once used by Vecna's apprentice, Arthurilak, which contained a large amount of evil and terrifying necromancy magic. It was eventually sold for 80,000 gold coins.
The reason why the price is so low is mainly because the spell book is attached with a large number of traps and curses.
Whoever wants to crack it will inevitably take a huge risk.
The fourth item is a vampire hand.
According to the host, it belongs to Vecna's former adjutant, Kes. It contains amazing necromancy power and is a divine artifact comparable to the Eye of Vecna.
But Zuo Si scoffed at this.
Stop kidding!
Do you really think that an artifact master can easily make something out of cabbages on the street? When Kes betrayed Vecna, he created three artifacts and a high-level magic item in one battle.
The three artifacts are the Eye of Vecna, the Hand of Vecna, and the Ear of Vecna, while the high-level magic item is the Robe of Vecna.
Yes, you read that right.
These things were not donated voluntarily by Vicna, but were chopped off when he was betrayed and destroyed by his subordinates.
Later, he became a god, and these things naturally gained extra power and turned into artifacts or sub-artifacts.
However, compared to the famous eyes and hands, not many people know about the Ear of Vecna.
But one thing is certain, that is, this vampire hand does contain quite amazing negative energy, which can increase the duration and power of necromancy magic.
It has to be said that these guys who rule the underground black market in Greyhawk City are indeed a bit wild.
Almost every auction item is of very good quality, no wonder even the admission ticket is sold for one hundred gold coins.
Just as Zuo Si was watching other buyers competing to bid with great interest, the second to last item was finally brought up.
It was an eyeball that had completely shriveled up, with only an oval lens left, and a slightly weathered optic nerve could be vaguely seen at the end.
Through magical vision, one can clearly see the dazzling arcane aura that symbolizes necromancy magic, as well as the undisguised evil aura.
Anyone who digs out their own eyes and stuffs them into their eye sockets can gain extremely powerful magical powers in a matter of minutes.
But at the same time, their minds, thoughts and consciousness will continue to be influenced by Vecna, and will eventually become completely what the Secret God wants them to be.
And the more you do this, the more powerful power you can get from your eyes.
"Everyone, I believe that this famous artifact does not need any further introduction. Let's go straight to the auction. This time there is no reserve price and no restrictions."
The host carefully held up the tray containing the Eye of Vecna so that everyone could see it clearly.
Just a second later, Zuo Si raised his hand and shouted, "Two hundred thousand gold coins!"
moment!
The entire auction site fell into silence.
Be it the stunned host or the sellers around who were bidding frantically, they all showed expressions of disbelief.
Because he had never made a bid before, many people thought that this young man who did not hide his identity probably bought a ticket to watch the fun.
But no one expected that he would actually aim at the Eye of Vecna, showing an attitude of being determined to win.
After a brief silence, the host immediately shouted excitedly: "Two hundred thousand gold coins! Someone has already offered two hundred thousand gold coins! Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
A guy with a deep and hoarse voice quickly chose to follow.
He raised his head, and his eyes hidden under the mask and hood seemed to flash a cold light, as if issuing some kind of warning.
"Five hundred thousand!"
Zuo Si and Lian Li didn't even stand a chance as the opponent directly doubled their attack.
After all, gold has long become a meaningless number to him, but there is only one Eye of Vecna, which is of great research value.
"Are you sure you can afford so much money?"
The mysterious buyer with a deep and hoarse voice sneered and questioned.
"Are you doubting my financial resources?"
As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
"Pop! " With a crisp sound, a cross-dimensional portal was instantly opened, and piles of gold coins poured out from the other side like a tide, colliding with each other and making a crisp and pleasant sound. After a while, a small mountain of gold was piled up on the ground.
Although it does not look very high or large, anyone who has an idea of the density of gold will understand that the number of gold coins here is definitely over one million.
Many countries may not have that much money in their coffers.
For a moment, many people were staring at the golden light and swallowing their saliva, but no one dared to act rashly.
Most of them have recognized that the inter-dimensional portal just now was the [Gate to Another World] in the Nine-ring Spell Magic.
As to whether it is divine magic or arcane magic, and why there is no chanting of spells or casting actions, it is unknown.
Being able to cast nine-ring spells, he is definitely the most powerful spellcaster.
Moreover, the magic of [Gate to Another World] is not just about connecting two planes, it can also summon legendary creatures like the Balrog and the Hell Fiend.
"How about this, is it enough?"
Zuo Si picked up a few gold coins and threw them to the host.
The latter hurriedly took it and did a simple identification of its casting process, weight and gold content. After a few seconds, he nodded with his eyes slightly shining: "Of course! The gold coin you provided is of very good quality. We are very happy to accept it."
"In that case, let's continue."
After saying that, Zuo Si deliberately stared at the guy who was competing with him for the Eye of Vecna with a slightly provocative look.
The latter was silent for a while, and finally said nothing more, let alone continue bidding.
Since he obviously couldn't come up with millions of gold coins, he could only choose to remain silent and give up.
After confirming that no one else was bidding, Zuo Si finally bought this artifact, which was quite famous in the entire universe, for a high price of 500,000 gold coins.
He ignored the host's almost flattering flattery and instead carefully examined the magic eye and the power contained within it.
It was pretty much as expected, as long as ordinary people put on this eyeball, their first and second level spell slots would immediately double, and their magic resistance and immunity would be greatly improved, as well as immunity to instant death spells.
Moreover, as time goes by, the effect of doubling the spell slots will gradually increase from the first and second rings to the third and fourth rings...
As for where the upper limit is, it is still unknown.
But if Zuo Si himself uses it, he can instantly double the spell slots from one to six levels, and it doubles both the mage and warlock professions at the same time.
In addition, this eye can see and recognize many words related to magic.
The only problem is that to equip it you need to dig out one of your own eyes, and not just once. Instead, every time your soul and consciousness change bodies you need to dig out a new eye and replace it.
In addition, this eye is suspected to have some connection with Vecna, so it needs to be cut off first.
Just as Zuo Si was stroking his chin and thinking about how to use this artifact, he suddenly felt a black shadow filled with chaotic evil power appear behind him out of nowhere.
Before he could react, he heard a familiar voice in his ear.
"Relax! Don't be nervous, it's me."
A dark elf woman with stunning beauty walked out of the darkness and put her hands on Zuo Si's shoulders.
She was obviously none other than Rose, the spider goddess who monopolized the faith of the dark elves.
"Why are you here?"
Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise, and noticed that the goddess had obviously used some ability to block the perception of other people around her. Neither the buyer nor the host noticed her arrival.
"Haha, have you forgotten the gift I mentioned last time we met? I have successfully deceived all the spies and sneaked it into this auction.
Now all you have to do is buy it.
Remember, no matter the cost.
Otherwise, if it falls into the hands of others, the world may be completely destroyed, and even the gods will be powerless to stop it. "
Rose's lips curled up slightly in a playful smile, and she pointed to a book wrapped in a piece of silk on the table.
You don't need to ask to know that this is the finale item of today's auction.
"What is that?"
Zuo Si asked in an uncertain tone.
Because the silk blocked almost all of the book's arcane aura and light, not even a trace of it leaked out.
Rose replied meaningfully: "That is a fragment that carries the supreme will of the Abyss.
It is filled with knowledge and power that you cannot imagine, and it is a taboo that even the gods cannot touch.
I really want to know what will happen when you touch and open this book.
I'm sure it will be very, very interesting."
Looking at the expectation and evil amusement revealed in the Spider Goddess's eyes, Zuo Si frowned subconsciously.
Because the original body is still asleep and is just an insignificant projection at the moment, he is not sure whether the power of this projection alone can deal with the Book of the Abyss.
Just as he was stunned, the host walked to the front again, carefully picked up the silk-wrapped book on the table, and explained with a smile: "Next is the last treasure of today's auction.
Although so far we still don't quite know what it is and what power it has.
But the outermost layer of silk alone is invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire. Neither physical nor magical attacks can cause even the slightest damage to it.
So we have reason to believe that this book must contain amazing power.”
In order to prove his point, the host grabbed a dagger with an enchantment level +2 and stabbed it hard into the silk.
Bang! The moment the dagger touched the silk, he was thrown back by an invisible force and slammed hard against the wall behind him.
This scene immediately aroused strong curiosity among those who were originally not interested.
After all, even if the book inside is worthless, the silk that wraps it can definitely be used to make the most powerful and perfect armor.
"Look at these ignorant, ridiculous mortals.
They had no idea how dangerous and terrifying the thing wrapped in that piece of silk was.
Once the silk is opened, with the power of the abyss contained in the book, the city will be completely turned into the abyss in a few hours at most.
The entire continent will be assimilated in two or three weeks, and in about half a year the planet will be dragged into the abyss and become a new layer.
By then, all humans and other intelligent creatures will become part of the devil."
Rose taunted in a gloating tone.
"So you are looking forward to seeing the destruction of this world?"
Zuo Si asked back casually, and finally understood why the other party did not choose to conduct the transaction in Faerun.
As for something so dangerous, Io, the God above all gods, would never allow it to enter the crystal wall that he created and managed.
Rose licked her lips with her tongue and responded in a slightly excited tone: "No, I just want to simply appreciate the powerful and unrivaled power of the Abyss Will. People like you who tend to be lawful will never understand the pleasure and beauty brought by chaos."
"Perhaps."
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and didn't dwell on this topic any further.
Because he knew that Rose was one of the very few gods who truly understood the true meaning of chaos, and it was for this reason that she won the favor of the will of the abyss.
You know, even the demon prince Demogorgon has not been able to confirm what the Will of the Abyss is.
But the Spider Goddess can already represent the will of the abyss to negotiate and trade with herself.
While the two were talking, the price of the book had officially exceeded the 300,000 mark.
In particular, the previous buyer who competed for the Eye of Vecna obviously realized the extraordinary nature of the book and began to bid at any price.
We even discussed with the organizers to mortgage some magic items and other properties.
Just as the auction was about to reach its climax, there was a sudden violent tremor above their heads, followed by several people in blood-stained armor rushing in, shouting breathlessly: "No... No! It's the followers of the old man Iuz! They suddenly rioted and came over here."
"What? Followers of Iuz! Why? Haven't we always kept our distance from them?"
The host was obviously a little panicked, and subconsciously wanted to touch the rapier hanging at his waist.
Unfortunately, before he could pull it out, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from a dark corner.
Whoosh! "Ah!!!!"
He fell to the ground, holding his pierced chest to stop the blood from flowing out, and then looked at the others for help.
Unfortunately, this sudden attack has completely disrupted the order at the scene.
After realizing the danger, the buyers almost immediately chose to flee. No one cared about the life or death of a mere host.
Only Zuo Si stood still and asked the Spider Goddess beside him directly: "Why did Iuz's followers suddenly appear in Greyhawk City? Did you reveal some information to him that shouldn't be disclosed?"
"You are really smart. You guessed it right away. In order to add some fun to this game, I spent a lot of time and effort to build a spacious enough stage. How about it, do you like it?"
Rose picked up the heavy book wrapped in silk and stuffed it into Zuo Si's hand, and whispered in the latter's ear: "If I were you, I would summon the real body right now, otherwise one projection alone cannot solve so many enemies..."
