It was afternoon, and the streets were crowded with pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages.
Vendor stalls can be seen everywhere in the surrounding area, but when walking on such a street, Gray felt like there was cold air coming from the soles of his feet.
Because all of this seems to be very close to Gray, but in fact it is very far apart.
Not a single sound could reach Gray's ears. The person who seemed very close seemed to be thousands of miles away, and he couldn't hear a single sound coming from the other person's mouth.
Not only were they voices, these people didn't even have an entity, and they couldn't notice Gray. They passed by Gray, or in front of him, without any form at all.
Gray had been walking in the city for a long time, but what he saw and encountered was still this kind of phantom, which made Gray couldn't help but suspect that the other party had dragged the entire city into this phantom world.
After walking a few more streets, what he saw was still an illusion without exception. Gray was completely sure of his previous guess. The other party had definitely pulled the entire city into the illusion.
Terrible, terrifyingly powerful!
For such a strong man, Gray is sure that whether it is the King of Mercenaries or the King of Killers, these two king-level strong men that Gray has seen are absolutely no match for each other.
Being trapped in such an illusion, it is useless no matter how powerful you are, capable of destroying a radius of several thousand or even thousands of meters with one strike.
As long as you can't break the rice illusion, no matter what you do, it's useless.
After walking a few more streets, a simple stall with an old man next to it appeared in front of Gray.
Snap, snap, snap!
Seeing the old man in front of the stall, Gray subconsciously took a few steps back.
This is an old man with an extremely ordinary appearance. No matter how he is dressed or dressed, he is extremely ordinary. He is no different from the many old vendors on the street.
But within its ordinaryness, there is something extraordinary.
The other person's eyes were pitch black, like a bottomless abyss, as if they were trying to suck the whole person's mind in, which was extremely heart-stopping.
Ghost merchant, this person is the ghost merchant!
Gray, who had already experienced it once, naturally knew that the person in front of him was the extremely mysterious ghost merchant.
"grown ups."
After taking a deep breath and calming his mind, Gray braced himself, stepped forward, and addressed him respectfully.
The old man nodded slightly to him and then said.
"Three things, choose one."
Without any unnecessary words, the old man said mechanically.
Gray looked around and saw three things floating on the stall in front of the old man.
The first thing was a two-handed sword that was five feet long.
The sword body is green as a whole, as if it were polished from green jade, with complex and beautiful patterns carved on it.
It is more of an exquisite work of art than a sword. If it is placed in the hall of the castle, it will never look out of place.
But Gray did not dare to underestimate this sword, not only because the person who took out this sword was a ghost merchant, but also because when he saw this sword, he actually had a creepy and extremely dangerous feeling.
Obviously this sword is not as simple as it appears. It is definitely an extremely terrifying magic weapon.
The second thing is a floating flower, as delicate and beautiful as if it had just been picked.
The flower has seven petals, each one is as big as an adult's middle finger and has different colors.
There are red, green, blue... The seven petals have seven colors. The seven colors together are full of dreamy colors, giving people a feeling that they are not real things.
"s… "
Gray's pupils suddenly shrank, and he recognized the flower.
After learning that in addition to the conventional way of improving blood vessels by implanting higher-level blood vessels, Gray could also combine blood magic with some special magical medicinal materials. Gray read a lot of related books and made a special trip to Take a trip to the Sidney family.
With the help of the huge collection of books in the Sidney family, I finally got some understanding of this aspect.
Among them, the seven-color flower is a magical medicine that can cooperate with blood magic to promote the evolution and improvement of blood. In terms of value, it is equivalent to the fruit of evolution that the King of Mercenaries and the King of Killers compete for.
In other words, even a king-level expert would definitely snatch the flower in front of him with jealousy.
"You can even exchange for magical medicinal materials that have similar effects to the fruit of evolution. No wonder it can arouse the covetousness of the Nahum family brothers."
Gray took a breath and finally understood why the Nahum family brothers would buy and sell by force. If they couldn't buy by force, they would directly rob and kill.
He still underestimated the value of the silver metal ball. He could actually exchange it for something that even a king-level expert would covet.
"Sure enough, the Nahum family will never give up!"
A deep sense of crisis hit Gray's heart.
His intuition told him that even if he left the Nahum Dukedom, it did not mean absolute safety. The Nahum family would definitely try their best to find him.
Suppressing the worry in his heart, Gray looked at the third item.
This is a purple ring, made entirely of unknown purple metal, carved with many complicated patterns, simple and full of rhythm.
It looks extremely ordinary, but there is something extraordinary and mysterious about it.
Moreover, being able to be placed next to a powerful magic sword and a magic medicine that is comparable to the fruit of evolution is enough to show that he is extraordinary.
Among the three items, except for the magic ring whose specific value could not be determined for the time being, the other two items were of extremely high value, leaving him at a loss as to how to choose.
"Sir, could you please introduce three things to me?"
Gray glanced at the old man and asked politely.
The last time, he also asked the other party about the situation of those three items. Although the other party gave a "perfunctory" answer, he didn't seem angry, so Gray dared to ask boldly.
"Magic weapons, plant abilities."
"Seven-colored flowers, purifying medicinal materials."
The old man started with the green magic sword and introduced it from left to right.
The old man's voice was calm, and the content was extremely "simple", exactly the same as the last introduction.
He is definitely not a qualified businessman. Of course, for such a strong man, no one dares to ask him to become a qualified businessman, not even a king-level strongman.
The old man's introduction continued, and he pointed at the last item without any hesitation, which was the purple metal ring.
"Magic weapon, space ability."
"Space ability?"
Green's eyes suddenly opened wide, light burst out from them, and he stared at the purple ring without blinking.
This is actually a ring with space capabilities.
Space ability is a very rare ability, but any magic item with this ability must be of extremely high value.
One of the most common magic items with space capabilities is the rune space bag.
But even the most common ones are rare.
So far, Gray knows that those who possess rune space bags are either brutal warriors, such as the leader of the Shadow Serpent, Rob Tracy, or they are from marquis or even higher families, such as the Sidney family. This kind of thing can be seen of preciousness.
The thing in front of me is obviously not a rune space bag, so what are its abilities
Teleportation, or space blade, or other space abilities
No matter which one it is, it must be very unparalleled. After all, space ability is such an ability.
"Three things, which one should I choose?"
Staring at three things, Gray was faced with a decision.
Among the three things, Gray gave up after careful consideration.
For him, improving his bloodline is far less difficult than for others. There is no need to use seven-color flowers to improve his bloodline.
Even after his strength reaches the king level, he still has a way to improve his bloodline above the king level.
Although the seven-color flower is also a way to raise the bloodline to above the king level, just one flower is obviously not enough, which is a bit useless for him.
The remaining two things, the magic sword with plant abilities, can be said to be very suitable for him.
He himself has plant abilities, and if he holds a magic sword with plant abilities, the power he can exert will definitely be extremely powerful.
Now is the time when he needs strength. This magic sword that can enhance his strength is definitely an excellent choice.
And the other thing turned out to be an extremely rare magic weapon with space capabilities.
Although it is not yet clear what kind of space ability it is, there is no doubt that this is definitely a highly valuable magic weapon, and the space ability has already shown its value.
"A magic sword with plant power and a magic ring with space power, which one should I choose?"
Excluding the colorful flowers, Gray was stuck in a choice of 2 or 1.
Although he wanted to choose both things, it was obvious that he only had the right to choose one thing.
He didn't think about bargaining with the ghost merchant.
Without the corresponding strength, it is absolutely stupid to bargain with such a strong person.
After hesitating for a moment, Gray gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"I choose a ring with space capabilities!"
Space ability is an extremely rare ability. Every item with this ability is extremely precious. In the end, Gray chose a ring with space ability.
Snapped!
The moment Gray made his choice, something fell on Gray's hand, it was the purple metal ring.
Then Gray saw the old man, the stall in front of the old man, and the two remaining things on the stall becoming blurry and slowly disappearing.
The noise that had disappeared around him slowly returned and became clearer. In the blink of an eye, Gray returned to his original world.
"I haven't... given him the silver metal ball yet?"
Suddenly, Gray's expression became strange.
Because he was so nervous, he actually forgot to take out the silver metal ball. The silver metal ball was still in his rune space bag, and he hadn't had time to give it to the other party.
