Chapter 21 Behind the Scenes
As soon as Huiqiu finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent. The eyes of the gathering were all focused on the box in front of him. In these eyes, there was eagerness, desire, confusion, and anxiety...
Can you teach people how to control dreams and enter the secret teachings of the dream world? Is there a chance to gain secret knowledge in the dream world?
To be honest, the "Dream Exploration Record" given by Huiqiu moved most people at the scene. Almost all of them were mysterious explorers and people associated with the secret world. They all hoped to obtain more secret knowledge and find the real path to the extraordinary.
But...500 pounds is too expensive...
You should know that it only costs about 300 pounds to buy a detached house in the suburbs of Igwynte. These 500 pounds are enough to buy a detached house with a garden and complete decoration.
Is this the price of knowledge?!
The price offered by Huiqiu stumped most of the participants. Although everyone present had some financial strength, they were not all aristocrats or wealthy people. Previously, most of their transactions were within 100 pounds. At this time, Huiqiu asked for 500 pounds. Many people could not afford it. Even if they could afford it, they would have to seriously consider whether it was worth spending so much money in exchange for a secret book. After all, it only teaches you to enter the dream world, and whether you can gain anything in the dream world is completely unknown.
This is an uncertain investment, and even those who can afford it are temporarily discouraged.
Only truly rich people can afford this kind of thing...
At this time, most of the eyes in the gathering were focused on the gentleman wearing a mask. His code name was "Shepherd Dog" and he had bought a lot of things before. People who had participated in the gathering for a long time knew that he was a big money sponsor.
Seeing many eyes focused on him, he held his cane with both hands and spoke slowly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Huiqiu, although this secret teaching is indeed attractive, it also means additional poison knowledge. I haven't finished practicing the secret teaching I bought before. If I ignore the contamination of poison knowledge and force myself to practice the new secret teaching, I'm afraid that the accumulation of poison knowledge will get out of control..."
Looking at Huiqiu on the main seat, the gentleman said apologetically. After hearing what he said, Huiqiu nodded silently, then looked around at the other participants, and when he saw that no one had made a bid, he raised his hand.
"In that case, today's gathering will be..."
"Well, please, please wait a moment~"
Suddenly at this moment, a childish, sharp voice was heard in the conference room. Upon hearing this voice, everyone in the conference room turned their heads to look at the location where the voice came from, and then they saw a short figure sitting in a seat with his hand raised.
Seeing this scene, the protesters at the scene couldn't help but be shocked.
What the hell? With that figure and that voice, isn't this a child? How come a child is also attending this kind of party?
"Mr. Grayhill, I want to trade, um, trade your secret message!" Dorothy raised her voice, trying to make her voice and tone more delicate, and said to Grayhill.
"Where did you come from, little brat? How did you get in here? Get out now!" At this time, a masked servant beside the gray hill pointed at Dorothy and shouted loudly. At first they just thought that Dorothy might be just a normal person with a shorter stature, but they didn't expect that she was a real minor.
Just as the masked servants were about to take action, Huiqiu waved his hand to stop them.
Then, Huiqiu spoke slowly amidst everyone's confused gazes.
"No matter who she is, as long as she sits at this table, she is a member of this gathering and is qualified to participate in the transaction..." Huiqiu said slowly. After listening to his words, the servants who were about to take action stepped back, and then Huiqiu turned his gaze from behind the stone mask to Dorothy.
"Well, young lady, you say you want to trade me for this secret, but can you afford five hundred pounds?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Huiqiu, I don't have so much money, but I also have items, we can exchange!"
Dorothy spoke in a deliberately babyish voice, trying even harder to make herself look younger.
"Something? You mean...something that can match the value of this secret book?"
"Yes, look at this..."
At this time, Dorothy took out a small cloth bag from under her robe and placed it on the table. When she opened the bag, a glass bottle filled with dark red liquid appeared inside, with two miserable severed fingers soaking in the glass bottle.
When Dorothy placed the bottle on the table, the atmosphere at the scene froze. Grayhill's body couldn't help but lean forward slightly. The attendees who were originally preparing to laugh at Dorothy couldn't help but hold their breath. They all knew at this time that the kid in front of them was not joking.
"This, this is... um... let me see..."
When she had taken the bottle out, Dorothy looked as if she were about to say something but had forgotten it. Then she scratched her head, took out another slip of paper from her cloak, and began to read from it.
"What is contained in this is the spiritual limb created through a ritual. These two fingers contain abundant "cup" spirituality. As long as you eat them all, you can take a big step forward on the road to extraordinary life. If you absorb a little more "cup" spirituality, you can satisfy your spiritual accumulation as a 'thirsty person'..."
