It can only be said that this is indeed the Su family, a large family of monster enforcers with a history of thousands of years. The collection here is countless. Even if you have seen the collection of the Golden Cave, it is just a drop in the ocean compared to this.
Seeing Su Luo's appearance, the elders of the Su family exchanged glances and understood.
It's safe!
Knowing that ordinary money would never sway Su Luo, after all, the Golden Cave alone was a huge money-making tool, and money was something he could always earn; he had no shortage of it.
Therefore, if you want to keep Su Luo and complete the task given by that person, you have to offer something that even the Golden Cave cannot obtain.
Unbeknownst to him, Su Luo walked through the bone door and looked at the huge collection pavilion. He scanned the contents and finally stopped by a cabinet or shelf that looked like both weapons and decorations.
From these things, Su Luo sensed strange fluctuations, some of which even contained an aura similar to a domain.
These are...
Noticing Su Luo's gaze, the elder of the Su family stepped forward, looking at his family's collection, and introduced with a hint of pride, "These are the strange artifacts collected by our Su family."
"A hidden weapon?"
Sensing Su Luo's puzzled expression, the Su family elder paused and added, "The names may vary from place to place. In the capital, these things are called 'mingqi' (冥器). In other places, to avoid using the word 'ming' (冥), mingqi is called 'mingqi' (明器). Anyway, there are all sorts of names. But in Bailing City, we call them all 'guiqi' (诡器)."
If the term "mysterious artifact" was still unfamiliar to Su Luo, he suddenly understood it after hearing the word "underworld artifact".
There's actually such a thing. Well, thinking back to the human dagger he used before, Su Luo hasn't used it since entering the Abyss.
There's no other reason than that it's completely useless.
Human weapons cannot harm the strange creatures in this place. For example, when Yang Zijin first met her, the bullets fired were not ordinary bullets.
Currently, Su Luo is at the top of the field, but she has very few weapons, and the system doesn't seem to like giving her any.
"This is a stone found in the forbidden area of the capital. I heard that if you throw it, you can kill a group of seven-star monsters."
"That is the bone bow and arrow passed down through generations of our Su family. I heard that when the eighteenth generation patriarch was in power, he was very fond of bow and arrow weapons, so he spent a lot of money to create a peerless bone bow. With one shot, if the user is strong enough, it can even kill beings at the nine stars."
"And this, don't be fooled by the fact that it's a necklace, a bit girly, even gaudy and colorful, but it's a top-tier defensive artifact. Once it recognizes its master, it can withstand an attack from a supreme being."
An attack from a supreme being?!
Su Luo's eyes lit up when she heard that.
The supreme being—is this the legendary title for the top beings above the Nine Stars? The Su family is indeed a powerful and deeply rooted family, with each collection more formidable than the last. Even if I were to actually make a move, even the Time Realm above the Nine Stars wouldn't be enough to contend with it.
It's fortunate that most of the people in the Gold Cave are wealthy; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to take over the Gold Cave without bloodshed.
Seemingly sensing Su Luo's interest in the artifacts, the old men of the Su family exchanged glances, chuckled, and rubbed their hands together, saying generously, "Dr. Su, our collection has always been open to our family's artifacts..."
Su Luo hesitated for a moment, "I'm a person of great principle..."
"A nominal appointment is fine too. We don't ask for much. As long as Doctor Su is willing, you can pick one item from here to take with you!"
Is it just a nominal appointment?
That doesn't seem like a bad idea. But being able to choose only one item makes it a bit difficult!
"I'm a person of great principles..."
"all!"
Before Su Luo could finish speaking, several eccentric old men from the Su family spoke up first, gritting their teeth and showing their utmost sincerity, "As long as Divine Doctor Su is willing, you can choose any of the collections here!"
If this still doesn't move Su Luo, then they have no other choice.
"Good, Patriarch Su is very generous!"
As for principles, principles are all subject to change.
Hearing Su Luo's reply, the old men of the Su family breathed a sigh of relief. Although it hurt, if what that lord said was true, they would have made a huge profit this time!
“I want to choose one by myself.” As she spoke, Su Luo looked at Yang Zijing again. “He is my pet, not a person.”
The implication is that Yang Zijin is neither a person nor a ghost, so he is not within the scope of being considered alone and can be allowed to stay.
Upon hearing this, the several old men from the Su family gave him a knowing look and made excuses to leave the collection pavilion.
I thought to myself, this Dr. Su looks quite serious, but he's actually quite adept at playing tricks. Is this some kind of new kind of play?
Without exception, Yang Zijing received thoughtful scrutinizing gazes from all the old men of the Su family. Completely bewildered and displeased, she looked back at them.
After all the ghosts had left, Su Luo casually told Yang Zijin to wander around and take a look, and then he slowly strolled around the collection room.
He picked up the necklace, held it up against himself, and shook his head with some regret.
The item is good, but it's too flashy. It's like wearing a string of glowing, five-colored crystals around your neck. It's clearly visible even in the dark. It provides strong defense, but it also makes you an easy target.
As for bows and arrows, Su Luo had no interest in them and no talent for them. These things require a foundation and practice, and they are not suitable for someone like Su Luo who is quick-handed.
As Su Luo looked around, he went deeper and deeper, finally stopping at the innermost part of the collection pavilion. Beneath the wall and above the shrine, a dusty, oil-paper umbrella-like object sat quietly.
Compared to the strange and unusual artifacts outside, this umbrella seemed rather plain and worn, as if it hadn't been touched or cleaned for many years.
It stands out from the other glamorous and dazzling artifacts.
But after Su Luo only glanced at it once, she couldn't take her eyes off it again.
It was an ordinary-looking umbrella, yet something seemed to be drawing Su Luo closer, beckoning her to come forward.
Subconsciously, it was as if she had spent a long time with this umbrella.
"call……"
Shaking his head abruptly, Su Luo rubbed his temples, took a few deep breaths, and slowly came back to his senses.
This umbrella is a bit eerie, as if it wants to absorb people's consciousness; she was almost bewitched just now.
No wonder it was placed in such an inconspicuous location and never cleaned; it was indeed extremely dangerous.
Let's try searching in other areas. If all else fails, there's a solid black, invisible dagger not far ahead that would be quite good. An unseen dagger, it strikes unexpectedly and kills without a trace, which would be perfect for her...
Just as Su Luo turned around, she didn't see the oil-paper umbrella behind her. Her body trembled slightly, and a flash of red light disappeared.
