Lord of the Witches

In the unusually dark forest path, a burly figure is slowly moving forward, heading towards the center of the forest.

The night fog in the forest seems to be too thick, everywhere is a bit humid, the air is filled with the smell of mud, grass and some animal excrement mixed, obviously a normal person would not come to such a place in the middle of the night.

Tang Qi is not a normal person, but he will not like this place either.

At this time, he was walking on the trail that was almost invisible covered by weeds, his nose was sniffing from time to time, there were many subtle smells in the air, which came from the judgment of a mystic, all of them were hallucinogenic, and in this kind of In the forest, there is a high probability that there are some poisonous mushrooms.

In my mind, memories of this forest emerged.

It can make the original owner remember. Obviously, this forest has some reputation in Messer City, but it is not a good reputation.

The rotten truffle forest used to be a forest suitable for the growth of rare ingredients such as truffles. Later, an old rich man returned to his hometown from outside and built a manor deep in the forest. He originally came to enjoy his old age.

But later, a vicious infectious disease broke out in the manor, and all the people in the manor died. Since then, the forest seems to have become sick. Although the big trees are still lush, they look lifeless. Those rare truffles They also rotted one after another, unable to grow again. On the contrary, some poisonous mushrooms that can cause hallucinations broke out on a large scale. "

The name has since been changed to Rotten Truffles.

"A very apt name!"

Tang Qi sniffed the faint stench in the air, and said lightly.

It was also at this moment that in front of Tang Qi, at the end of the submerged path, it suddenly opened up, and a corner of the dilapidated manor came into his eyes.

arrive!

The temporary meeting place for this Extraordinary Bazaar!

Tang Qi deliberately slowed down his pace, but at this moment, some rustling sounds suddenly sounded around him, and figures appeared in various directions in the forest, and their targets seemed to be the abandoned manor in the center.

When Tang Qi stood at the open entrance, around the manor, about a dozen figures also appeared at the same time. Obviously, the entrance path was not the only one Tang Qi walked.

As for the number of people, there must be only a dozen or so of them, because the manor covered half of Tang Qi's sight, so the number should at least double.

"There are so many wild Transcendents in Mercer City?"

When Tang Qi had this doubt in his heart, the figures had gathered towards the manor.

There was no need to show a difference, so Tang Qi followed the crowd and walked towards the manor like a "familiar hand".

As they got closer, Tang Qi saw these people clearly, and each of them was mysteriously different from what he expected. Most of them looked ordinary, including young men and women, and some old people, and their clothes also looked different. Nothing special.

It's just that there is a hint of excitement between the expressions.

They seemed to be still immersed in the excitement of entering the market last time. There were a few acquaintances who, while walking, would not gather together to whisper.

Most of the sentences drifted into Tang Qi's ears.

"I'm so excited... I don't know what eye-opening things I will see this time."

"Yeah, who would have thought that there really is a mysterious world. The last time the market was so lively, I actually saw a centaur, which is a legendary creature."

"It's a pity that most of the sellers actually only accept the condition of barter. I can't buy those magical items with God's gold coins."

"Some sellers are willing to accept gold coins, but what they sell are some herbal medicines with unknown functions. One guy bought it on the spot and ate it on the spot, but he died immediately. It's so scary."

"But this time we need to verify, I don't know what method, in case it is brushed down, in the future..."

...

Tang Qi followed those young men and women unhurriedly, all of whom were dressed a little non-mainstream. His eyes swept over, and the result of the feedback made his complexion froze for a moment.

Among these people, except for a fat woman with purple eye shadow, none of them are supernatural beings.

Subconsciously looked at the other figures, and sure enough, not everyone had gloom.

There were nearly twenty figures, but only half of them were extraordinary.

"It's no wonder that the initiator of the bazaar needs to conduct qualification verification. The information fragment of the seal says that the bazaar that is about to be formed will only conduct extraordinary transactions, and only accept extraordinary humans, or weird people with wisdom."

"However, how did these people who can only be called enthusiasts or contacts get the seal?"

Tang Qi used a newly learned word. According to the summary of the Castle Bureau, people who have just contacted the mysterious side but do not have the corresponding power, or only have one or two low-level strange objects, are collectively referred to as contacts.

At that moment, Tang Qi saw half of the people gush out from the light, and the other half did not.

They probably got the seal from somewhere, so they used this market as the "entrance" to the mysterious world.

Isn't that the kind of plot in those fantasy movies or novels?

The ignorant and ignorant protagonist accidentally enters the extraordinary market, and then gets the treasure by luck, thus embarking on a glorious road.

Unfortunately, reality is not a movie.

An organization that chooses a meeting place like this doesn't seem to be biased towards the camp of justice and order.

Everyone walked through the courtyard full of fallen leaves, the dry pool, the floor tiles covered with moss, and the complicated corridors, and soon entered the middle area of ​​the manor, between two abandoned villas, surrounded by high walls A lawn.

When more than a dozen people stepped onto the lawn, more than 20 figures also appeared on the opposite side.

But at this moment, the eyes of both sides were completely attracted by a tall figure on the lawn.

This is a big man who is at least two meters tall. Under the black robe, he has a strong body that cannot be concealed. With that short hair, everyone can imagine how powerful he will be when he stands in front of you. .

But when the big man was wearing a pair of single-frame glasses, the picture looked a little weird.

I saw him clapping his hands elegantly like a professor, and then said: "Everyone, time is precious, I think we should start the verification immediately, this will determine how many people can catch up... um, The real market an hour later."

This big man with glasses pretends to be elegant, but his temper is very direct.

"There are two methods of verification, you can choose by yourself."

"The first way is to directly prove that you are an extraordinary human being. You can try to show a little bit of strength, and if you get his approval, you will be eligible to enter the market."

"Secondly, if you don't want to reveal your own information, you can also find this person, follow him to a place, accept employment, and clean up some contaminated low-level weirdness. As long as you can come out alive, you can not only get admission qualifications , will also be paid by us.”

While speaking, he pointed to his left and right sides respectively.

There, each stood a mysterious person wearing a black hood.

As soon as his words fell, there was a little commotion in the crowd.

Although everyone has a seal in their hands, it is different from last time, this time it needs to be verified, and the two methods sound like they can completely eliminate the participation of ordinary people.

This made almost half of the ordinary people in the crowd show dissatisfaction and reluctance, and the big man seemed to have expected this scene long ago.
