Lord of the Witches

On the long snow-white table, the fat yoghurts were in a tangled state.

At that time, the Time Nest had an extraordinary charm for the doctors, and naturally it also had an extraordinary charm for them.

They want to run into it and settle down.

But they are reluctant to let the doctor go. Although they have not been together for a long time, these yug worms have established a deep friendship with the doctor.

For creatures like them, time is meaningless.

If the compatibility is consistent, a trillionth of a second would be enough.

So at this moment, the bug babies raised their upper bodies, turned their little heads, and looked at the doctor with their big watery eyes.

That picture is very confusing.

"Go, there is a free [Time Nest], don't miss it."

"Just come and play with me often. You know the time and space coordinates of the TARDIS."

The doctor acted very free and easy, but Tang Qi still heard a trace of envy.

Of course, He had to pretend not to hear.

Things like time nests were extremely rare, and Tang Qi couldn't find one for a while.

Moreover, the culture of comparison is not good, very bad.

After hearing the doctor's words, the group of yoghurts that were already excited all started to move.

In a way that can be called "stop flashing", the blink of an eye appeared in front of the nest.

Just when they were about to enter, one of the leading worms suddenly stopped.

The cute head turned around and touched the other worms a few times.

They have a unique way of communicating and quickly reach a consensus.

The worms once again raised their little heads with Y-shaped branches, this time facing the ancient Boss Aiken.

Just hearing some sounds similar to "嘤嘤嘤" sounded in this room.

Immediately, Boss Aiken was stunned for a moment, and then said with a bright smile:

"Of course, little ones, please remember that you are my invited companions and guests, and the relationship between us is equal."

"This [Time Nest] is a gift. After it is given, it belongs to you completely."

"So, if you want to invite any life in, you don't need to ask for my opinion."

As soon as the ancient Boss Aiken finished speaking, the group of worms all turned their heads again.

They lined up politely, flashing over from time to time, surrounding the doctor.

Then they pulled him and headed towards their "new home".

The doctor seemed to be refusing, but he quickly disappeared into the mysterious time nest with a group of worms.

In the blink of an eye, at both ends of the long snow-white table, Tang Qi and Boss Aiken stood opposite each other again.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

A master, an ancient one, was not even invited.

Tang Qi blinked, and a tentacle nimbly lifted up a little in the void.

But he saw light and shadow flowing out, and some disgusting scenes were summoned.

The main body among them is the "Goddess of Resentful Souls" from the Second Infinite.

There is no need to keep it a secret from Boss Aiken. The ancient one from whom everything can be sold must know the existence of the Second Infinite.

Sure enough, the ancient man's pale face did not change in any way because of these illusions.

"Sir, did you already know that I would have an intersection with this 'Ms. Resentful Soul'?"

Hearing Tang Qi's question, Boss Aiken shook his head.

He said with great certainty:

"Dear Mew, it's not like that. I am not the God of Time. I cannot foresee the future."

“Any trade I initiate is based on rules that are constant in me.”

"Both parties in the transaction will maximize their interests, so I am sure that your harvest will be more than just a ship of fools."

"Since you met this resentful lady during the transaction, you must have gained something from her, right?"

Tang Qi nodded and confirmed Bos Aiken's statement.

The latter smiled reservedly, but the way he shook his head showed that he was satisfied that his rules were still in effect.

Immediately, a pink river suddenly appeared between the two.

A river composed of countless "Primitive Desires", they came one after another, carrying a special wooden boat towards Tang Qi.

On the other end, Bos Aiken's voice continued.

"The buyer's payment has been signed and the transaction is completed."

"This ship of fools, it belongs to you now, respected Lord of Dreams."

The second Fool's Ship was in front of him, and one of Tang Qi's tentacles squirmed over and wrapped around the wooden ship.

The light flashed and the wooden boat disappeared immediately.

From this moment on, Tang Qi officially owned two ships of fools.

Tang Qi suppressed the idea of ​​returning to the country to explore the "Secret of the Ship of Fools" and remained at one end of the long table.

After being silent for about half a second, Tang Qi said directly:

"Sir, is there any high-level secret knowledge in your product list?"

"For example...the Supreme Divinity?"

"Or...the whereabouts of the sages who built the Ship of Fools?"

"Or... the real connection between the Second Expanse and the Mystery of Expanse?"

Tang Qi's several questions immediately caused the ancient Boss Aiken to fall silent.

A second later, this mysterious businessman who only had the upper half of his body and was extremely weird smiled and replied:

"Dear Mew, I think you asked Marquez the same question, right?"

"Yes, both I and All Things Are For Sale know these secrets, and even more incredible secrets."

"The Ancient One!"

"The meaning of these three words does not just mean that our group has lived too long."

"We are like an 'audience' who knows too many secrets, some of which we can reveal and some of which we cannot."

"Of course, if you can afford the price, then I can sell it to you."

Having said this, Boss Aiken paused.

The originally weird and proud expression showed a rare hint of embarrassment.

Showing a "little embarrassment" after breaking his promise, He added:

"The price is the same as everything can be sold."

"For other goods, I can reduce the price appropriately and ensure that the service I provide is better than everything that can be sold."

"But those secrets cannot be used. The levels involved are too high, and the price cannot be changed."

"In fact, our transcendent status is included in it. If I lower the price requirement to you, then I will definitely encounter some kind of accident and fall soon after I reveal the secret."

"So if you ask me if I have those goods, the answer is of course yes, but you can't pay the corresponding price now."

…

Boss Aiken's response was thorough and easy to understand.

Tang Qi also immediately judged that the ancient man was not lying.

Regarding those extremely high-level "secrets", such as the Supreme Divinity.

Before this, Tang Qi had indeed asked the ancient Marquez, and his reply was no different from Boss Aiken.

Obviously, this may be some kind of common rule that cannot be changed.

And Tang Qi was indeed unable to pay the price.

For example, if Tang Qi wants to know some information about a certain "supreme divinity", then Tang Qi will first have to pay a price that may have serious consequences.

Tang Qi will be known in advance by the supreme divinity.

There is no need to chant at all. As long as Tang Qi knows the name of that supreme being, then Tang Qi himself will also be known by that supreme being.

Deception or other means are meaningless.

This is a "conceptual" secret rule, at least at the purchasing level.

If Tang Qi, through his own efforts, knew or even did something even more egregious and even blasphemous, then there would be no consequences except for the follow-up effects of his actions.

Tang Qi did not use his own methods to find the currently known supreme gods: the Origin God Clan, the Young Creator, the Everlasting Crazy King,...and the seemingly funny giant starfish.

As for the mysterious monarch?

According to the big octopuses, they are infinitely close to the supreme, but just missed a small chance.

Tang Qi knew about the existence of these supreme gods, but there were no serious consequences.

But when it comes to purchasing, the situation is completely different.

Marquez once used the "Mad King of Eternal Day" as an example, if Tang Qi knew of his existence through "Everything is for Sale".

Then the consequences that will happen immediately:

Crazy King Yongzhou will know all the details of this transaction!

The Crazy King Yongju will simultaneously take revenge on both parties to the transaction, namely Tang Qi and Everything Can Be For Sale!

Of course, the above results are not fixed.

Marquez also used the "mysterious starfish" as an example of what would happen if the transaction happened.

Then what will appear immediately is not necessarily a disaster, it may also be a surprise.

That funny-looking giant starfish might have invited Tang Qi to his home?

But these are only possibilities, and the cost is far more than that.

"I have to complete a series of complex rituals and pay a price that greatly increases the risk of my death before I can complete the purchase process."

"The scariest thing is that after purchasing, the results will most likely turn out to be very bad."

"I just want to know some secrets. It's not worth taking the risk, especially risking everything I have."

After thinking for a few seconds, Tang Qi gave up the deal with the ancient Boss Aiken.

It was obvious that Tang Qi also saw a trace of happiness in Bos Aiken's eyes.

Tang Qi understood silently in his heart:

The Ancients are a special group with extremely mysterious and powerful power and a transcendent status.

But this kind of detachment also has its limits. They don't care about the boundless and mysterious master-level existences, but they are still afraid of those "supreme divinities".

It seems difficult for them to refuse the deal proposed by the "distinguished guest", so they can only try their best to raise the price to make the guest give up.

What will they do if a transaction is initiated?

Pass on the risk, or bear it silently?

While Tang Qi was wondering, Bos Aiken, the ancient who failed to satisfy Tang Qi, thought for half a second, and his big pale face shook a few times.

Soon, after chewing a few more Primordial Desires, he looked at Tang Qi and reminded him very sincerely:

"Dear Mew, it was a pleasure doing business with you."

"To thank you for your help, I will give you a more precious secret knowledge for free."

"When facing the supreme divinity, please remember that you must remain cautious when facing any supreme divinity."

"In addition to the fact that the information you purchase from them will definitely be known to them, every supreme deity has all kinds of weird rules and laws."

"It is very likely that one of your reckless actions will cause a certain supreme god to take revenge on you."

"You are already very powerful, but facing the Supremes, you may not be more powerful than an ant. The gap in status is the most cruel."

"So, when facing the Supreme Beings, your best choice is not to think about them, not to explore them, not to search for them, not to provoke them... fear them and stay away from them."

"Until one day, you will be among them."
