The ghost merchant is a mysterious merchant whose earliest history can be traced back to the empire. When someone who has what he needs appears in the ancient city, he will appear to trade with him.
Although this kind of transaction is somewhat suspected of forced buying and selling, the nature of the other party is not bad, or not too bad, at least they are willing to pay a price for the transaction, rather than directly robbing them by force.
As a strong man, when he sees what he needs, he does not snatch it but obtains it through trading. Such a strong man is worthy of praise, at least in Gray's view.
Gray has seen too many strong men relying on their own strength to rob the weak. He has experienced it himself. The Nahum family originally targeted him because of a silver metal ball.
"You have that silver metal ball on you?"
Sophia looked at Gray and asked. There was no silver metal ball on her body, so the problem must have appeared on Gray.
"Um."
Gray nodded, touched the purple ring, and a silver metal ball the size of a ping pong ball, and a silver metal ball slightly larger than a ping pong ball, a total of two silver metal balls appeared in his hand.
The silver metal ball the size of a table tennis ball was obtained by Gray from the imperial cemetery. The silver metal ball slightly larger than the table tennis ball was given to him by a family at his 25th birthday party a few days ago. .
Holding two silver metal balls in hand, Gray and Sophia walked along the street, looking for the ghost merchant.
After passing through several streets, Gray and Sophia met the ghost merchant in front of an extremely ordinary stall.
This is an old man who looks very ordinary at first glance. He is wearing a coarse cloth and has gray hair. The traces of years of experience can be clearly seen on his face.
But if you look closely, your scalp will feel numb and your back will feel cold, because there are no eyeballs in the old man's eyes, and it is pitch black, as if it is an endless abyss.
"senior!"
When they saw the old man, Gray and Sophia called him respectfully.
After interrogating the people who came to the Temple of Light, Gray and Sophia gained a lot of knowledge. They already knew that space ability was also one of the regular abilities, and they had new guesses about the old man's identity.
Originally they thought that the old man was a member of the empire from a thousand years ago, but now they have rejected this speculation. Although the empire from a thousand years ago was stronger than the Ziyue Kingdom, it was absolutely impossible to have a strong man like the old man.
Rule-level abilities, even in the vast original world with many powerful forces, are only abilities that a very small number of people can master. Only the strongest people can master this level of ability in the empire. , just like a beggar controlling a fighter jet, absolutely impossible.
To take a step back, if someone could really master this level of ability, it would have been impossible for the Temple of Light to invade this plane thousands of years ago and use this plane as an ovary for incubating magical weapons.
Even if the Temple of Light also sends out strong men with regular abilities, there will definitely be no benefit. After all, due to the suppression of the plane, the strongest strength of the descendants is only the first level of magic light.
According to Gray and Sophia's guess, the other party is probably a person from the original world, and probably does not live in this plane. It is just that a certain trigger mechanism was set up in some cities in this world many years ago. Once someone takes it with him, When what he needs appears in this city, he will feel it coming to this plane.
To be able to descend from the original world without the help of plane barriers, the opponent must be extremely strong, at least not at the level of magic light. This can be proved by the fact that the opponent can live from more than 1,000 years ago to the present.
Moreover, except for a small number of people with extraordinary talents, rule abilities are usually extremely powerful people who can try to suppress the blood replenishment ability in the body to form rule abilities.
As for why the opponent's realm is obviously higher than the magic light, but he can still come to this plane, it should be because the opponent has the ability of space rules, and the ability of space rules should have the ability to shield the rules of the plane.
The only thing that made Gray confused was that he appeared in the ancient city some time ago. Why did the other party not appear and appear now, and what caused this difference.
Thinking about it carefully, the biggest difference is probably that he prevented the blood sacrifice and the collapse of the plane. I wonder if it was because the plane was about to collapse at that time and some kind of change occurred, which prevented the other party from coming to this plane.
"Six things, choose two."
Hearing the names of Gray and Sophia, the old man seemed to have nodded slightly, but he didn't seem to. He waved his hand, and six items appeared in front of the stall, half hanging in the air.
In the past, it was one of three choices, but this time Gray had two silver metal balls, so it became two of six choices.
Gray and Sophia couldn't help but look at the six suspended things.
The thing on the far left is very huge, nearly 10 meters tall, and is covered in blue. The material should be metal.
This is a rune puppet that has a similar appearance to a human, but it has four hands, two on each side.
The second thing was a three-inch transparent crystal bottle. The crystal bottle contained more than half of the purple liquid. The liquid was slightly viscous and looked like blood.
The words "Purple Flame Disaster Beast" engraved on the bottle also prove this. This is indeed the blood of a blood beast, and it is probably the blood of a disaster-level blood beast with combat power comparable to the Doom Slayer, because the other party's name It contains the word "disaster".
The third thing is a book made of leather paper. The color of the leather paper is light yellow. It is made of the leather of an unknown blood beast. The purple fire beast sequence blood method is written on the cover.
Gray hesitated slightly, but after seeing that the ghost merchant did not stop him, he quickly flipped through the book. He found that this book contained blood spells ranging from vicious to destructive levels, and the blood beasts corresponding to the destructive level blood spells in this book, It was the Purple Flame Disaster Beast in front of him.
The fourth thing is a cyan thin sword with a long and narrow blade. There are exquisite pale gold patterns on the surface of the sword, making the whole sword extremely exquisite.
The fifth item is a blue battle suit. The battle suit covers the whole body, including the head, torso, hands, legs, and feet. After wearing it, you will get all-round protection.
The sixth item is a wooden box. The wooden box is open. The box is padded with cotton cloth. There are four crystal balls inlaid on the cotton cloth. The crystal ball is pure black in color and is dark and opaque. When you see these four crystal balls , Gray couldn't help but think of the old man's eyes, which were also dark and opaque.
Gray and Sophia glanced at the six items roughly at the same time. The two looked at each other, and Gray asked.
"Senior, what is this thing?"
Gray pointed at the sixth object, which was a wooden box containing four black crystal balls. He did not ask about the other five objects. He knew all the other five objects and knew their uses. Even if he asked, he could not ask more. Information, it is impossible to know the power level or level, so just don't ask.
"The ball is randomly teleported. After crushing it, it will be teleported to a random place."
The old man's voice was dry and he said without any emotion.
"Random teleportation?"
Upon hearing this introduction, both Gray and Sophia were thoughtful.
This should be a means of escaping at critical moments. When in danger, you can escape by crushing the black crystal ball and teleporting. As for why it is a random teleportation, not a fixed teleportation point, I am afraid it is the teleportation distance. s reason.
If a fixed teleportation point is set up, the teleportation location cannot be reached if it is too far away from the teleportation point. For example, the space teleportation of the purple ring cannot exceed a thousand miles.
After understanding the uses of the six items, Gray looked at the six items again. His eyes were on each of the six items one by one. It was a little difficult to make a decision. He looked at Sophia and asked.
"Which two things do you think are appropriate to choose?"
"The value of the six items is certainly not low. How to choose depends on what you need!"
Sophia raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly and said after thinking for a moment.
Although the level of the six items is unknown, they must all be of high level. The value of the items taken out by the ghost merchant will be based on the size of the silver metal balls, and this time the two silver metal balls in Gray's hands are quite large. , one of which is even bigger than a table tennis ball, and what the ghost merchant trades must be of great value.
"Need anything?"
Gray held his chin slightly with his right hand, showing a thoughtful look. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at six things.
"The sword can rule it out."
After scanning the six objects with his eyes, Gray excluded the sword first.
Although the level of this weapon may not be low, he is not short of weapons now. Not only does he have a magic weapon taken from the people of the Temple of Light, but he also has a sword-shaped magic weapon whose level is unknown but must be quite high. , it is enough for magic weapons.
"The battle uniforms are also excluded!"
The second thing Gray eliminated was the battle suit, which has the ability to alloy. His current defense is beyond the realm and is already extremely strong. There is really no need to waste a choice opportunity on defense.
"Then these four are left. Choose two from four, no, it should be said to be one from two!"
The remaining four things Gray looked at.
Four things, the blood of the Purple Flame Disaster Beast and the blood method of the Purple Fire Beast sequence are matched. If you choose one, you must choose the other to achieve the maximum effect.
Since these two things are matched, there are only two choices left for natural transformation, either choose the blood of the Purple Flame Disaster Beast and the Purple Fire Beast sequence blood method, or choose the Rune Puppet and Random Teleportation Ball.
Looking back and forth, Gray was a little undecided between the two options, but in the end Gray made his choice.
"Senior, I choose these two!"
Gray reached out to the rune puppet and the random teleportation ball, and finally chose these two things.
"Can!"
The ghost merchant nodded slightly, and without seeing any movement, the other four things disappeared, leaving only the rune puppet and the wooden box containing the random teleportation ball.
Then the two silver metal balls in Gray's hand also disappeared. During the process, before Gray could react, the silver metal balls had disappeared, which showed that the opponent's strength was definitely far superior to Gray's.
Then the ghost merchant himself quickly disappeared, and the voices from the outside slowly became clear. Gray and Sophia were returning to the real world.
Green put away the rune puppets and random teleportation balls with a wave of his hand. When he finished all this, he and Sophia had returned to the real world. The pedestrians around them did not seem to notice their sudden appearance and naturally avoided them. They go somewhere else.
