The reception room has only one door, but this time when he came out, it was not the dark and strange corridor, but a place like a normal office building.
The long corridor has bright floor-to-ceiling glass on one side and rooms next to each other on one side.
Most of the doors of the rooms are closed, a few are open, and you can also see the staff in white-collar attire are busy.
Seeing Zhou Yang's somewhat curious look, Sta Qingke said in a tone that the city people showed off to the old hat of the country going into the city: "You rarely see this kind of scene in your country, oh, I mean I heard from Li that you are still very backward in mage-related professions. No, no, it’s a very traditional way, with a secret mentor and a strict relationship between mentor and apprentice. But in Europe, we have long abandoned that backward organization. Situation, and our Dassok is the forefront of the service organization for the mage. The staff you see are all professional staff recruited from us. They are not mages. They only deal with ordinary business, but they can let our mages. Free yourself from the complicated daily chores and concentrate on the work related to the mage. Please go here..."
Stachenko opened a door casually, entered a room, walked through busy workshops, walked to the end, and opened another door, but it was another long corridor.
This time there are doors on both sides of the corridor, which are still open.
It’s just that the doors opened this time are no longer ordinary workplaces, but different environments. There are deserts, seas, rainforests, mountain peaks, and even extreme geology such as volcanic eruptions and downpours. climate.
Every room is busy with mages. They are either arranging magic circles, or engaging in strange-shaped creatures, or directing construction, or conducting some kind of experiment that cannot be described in detail.
Regardless of whether these gates are portals, or the environment inside the gates is simulated, it takes a huge amount of manpower and material resources to realize them.
Just such a fantasy corridor reveals the tip of the iceberg of Dassoc's enormous strength.
Sta Qingke led Zhou Yang into the thirteenth gate.
Zhou Yang saw a big river.
There are countless incomplete ghosts struggling and screaming in the river.
A wooden canoe docked on the bank of the river.
Sitting in the canoe is a semi-permeable golden skeleton with a huge sickle in one hand and the boat scull in the other.
Zhou Yang couldn't help asking in surprise, "Styghe? This is the Underworld!"
Styx is located in the underworld, which is different from Yinsi, another place that is qualified to collect ghosts.
Styx is the only way to enter the underworld.
The ghosts in the Styx were all thrown in by the ferryman halfway through the ferry, and there was never a day to escape.
"Yes, this is the underworld." Starchenko said, "There are strict environmental requirements for the preservation and cleaning of the soul. The sun is too heavy in the world, which is not conducive to the long-term storage and maintenance of the soul, so we rented a piece in the underworld. The place is used as a storage base and trading center for ghosts. We are taking a shortcut here. If other mages want to enter the trading center, they can only enter from the outside. Not only do they have to pass a few checkpoints, but they also need to pay the ferry separately. But we Dassok people don’t need it. All funds will be settled at the end of the year. What the ferryman collects is not the currency of the world, but the gold coins of the underworld. If not, you can also use the treasures of the world to exchange for it on the spot. , But it’s up to it to decide how the treasure is priced. So the company set up an exchange counter outside to exchange meditation coins for mages in need. In addition to paying for the money, the meditation coins can also be opened in the underworld. The shopping mall in the trading center buys the necessary underworld items."
Staqinke said to take Zhou Yang onto the canoe.
The golden transparent skeleton started to shake the boat without saying a word. When it reached the middle of the Styx, it stopped suddenly and stretched out its paw to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang came to understand and looked at Sta Qingke.
Stachenko shrugged, "You are not a member of the Dassock Company, you have to pay for the ferry. Also, don't think about riding in the Overlord Boat. Immortal, it is invincible on the Styx!"
Zhou Yang said: "Fifty-five percent."
"Sixty percent!" Stachenko said, "the underworld gold coins are very expensive."
"Good!" Zhou Yang agreed happily.
Stachenko took out a gold coin from his pocket with satisfaction and threw it on the ferryman's paw.
The gold coin has a rough workmanship, and there is a grimace with a tooth and mouth in the center.
Grimace is alive.
Zhou Yang understood.
No wonder the gold coins in the underworld are very expensive.
Because every gold coin is made with a soul!
After receiving the gold coins, the ferryman honestly continued the ferry and sent the two to the other side.
There were several rows of two-seater electric cars parked on the shore.
Stachenke led Zhou Yang into the car and drove along the straight avenue for about twenty minutes. At the end of the road ahead, a small town-like building appeared!
Parked the car outside the town, and the two walked into the town.
The streets are unexpectedly prosperous with people coming and going.
On both sides of the street, there are rows of two-story retail buildings of uniform specifications, and English signs are hung outside the doors of each building. At a glance, they are all soul stores and high-end ghost shops.
All kinds of shouts came and went one after another.
"The latest and purest virgin soul, including it!"
"The purebred Eastern European infant and child soul is pure and flawless, easy to refine and easy to hide!"
"A wide range of East Asian souls, welcome to buy!"
"Jumping off the building for a big sale, all souls are 50% off, all 50% off, only the last two days, come buy!"
"A true deadly soul is extremely fierce, rare in the world!"
In the store, all kinds of souls are placed there for selection like ordinary goods, with expressions of panic or numbness.
Within two steps, there was a Russian aunt with five big and three thick headscarves coming up and whispering: "Are you two wanting to buy ghosts or souls? I have authentic glamorous female ghosts here, and one keeps her head and tail. They are all taken out when they are most beautiful, there is not the slightest incompleteness..."
But she was only half of what she said. After seeing the badge that Stachenko was wearing on his chest, her expression changed immediately, and she turned around and ran away. Her bear-like body was running out of agility like a monkey, flashing left and right. Disappeared into the crowd.
Stachenko smiled and said: "Don't buy ghosts from this kind of hawker. Although it is cheap, it is often insufficient, and there are huge problems in the origin. There will be many future problems if you buy it back."
Zhou Yang nodded, did not say a word, just scanned the town slowly.
Again, again, and again.
This is the largest soul trading center in the world!
All the souls are sold here as animals. How many of them are truly natural deaths, and how many of them are caused by man-made deaths like Li Yingzhe said
