Lord of Enigma

Chapter 133: Valley

Chapter 133: Valley

The second verifier was an old man with a red nose. He was a little fat and wore a blue jumpsuit. However, it was not contaminated with oil stains, but with traces of unidentified blood.

He held a military water canteen in his hand, but judging from his wobbly walking appearance, it was clearly not water.

In a daze, the old man stepped forward, and in front of everyone, took out a "lizard" from his arms. He swayed it a few times against the verifier, and then passed successfully.

The contacts at the back looked confused.

However, Tang Qi immediately understood the origin of this old man.

[Extraordinary Creature: Crocodile's Tongue. ]

[State: Drunk. ]

[Information Fragment: Barely counted as a branch profession of the beast tamers. They are usually able to communicate with crocodiles due to innate abilities or accidents and could control, tame, and even make the crocodiles mutate and grow. Of course, they must be of the professional-level if they want to do the latter. ]

A simple piece of information led Tang Qi to quickly conclude that the old man came from Marston City which was next to the City of Moses. Because near Moses City, only this city has a big river, and its environment was very suitable for crocodiles to inhabit.

One of Marston's selling cards was also its large number of crocodiles.

Obviously, the so-called lizard was actually a little crocodile tamed by the old man, but he didn't know the specific species.

After the old man, it was still the extraordinaires who came forward to verify and each one was easily seen through by Tang Qi.

Most of them were not strong combat-type professionals, they were mostly with auxiliary classes, and none of them had been promoted to professional-level. Presumably, they were all wild extraordinary people.

At the same time, some contacts also passed the verification.

They owned one or two mystical items, which barely meets the requirements of the market.

Soon, it was Tang Qi's turn.

With the experience of those people in front of him, he did not waste time. He tamed a passing owl at random, proving his identity as a "beast tamer".

Compared with the other humble beast tamers in the field, this trainer was obviously more eye-catching.

After passing the test, Tang Qi clearly felt that the eyes of more than a dozen people had fallen on him.

Tang Qi then snorted as a warning.

The character he created for the "second body" was a wild beast tamer who experienced the vicissitudes of life, had an arrogant disposition, and a bad temper.

This simple character set was very convenient to play.

After they were tested one by one, a few unqualified ordinary people were knocked out again by the big man, but the verification on the other side had yet to produce results.

Before they left, Tang Qi gave a glance.

The people who chose to be hired by the market organizers to go deep into the manor, through a mysterious tunnel, and clean up the monsters, were six extraordinary people, three contacts, and five bold ordinary humans.

They had different reasons for making this choice. The first two were not to disclose their information and profession, while the few ordinary people simply wanted to try their luck.

In other words, they were digging their own grave.

On the lawn, everyone waited silently, and the scene was extremely quiet.

The man, who was supposed to be hot-tempered, was unexpectedly patient. He stared intently at some mottled sculptures set up by the former manor on the lawn, full of an ancient style.

Fifteen minutes later, they heard footsteps.

Those people had come back.

They were followed by several shadow soldiers and stepped back into the lawn.

And the outcome was also clear. There were once fourteen people, but only five people are left.

Consisting of four extraordinary people and one contact.

Tang Qi glanced at the two extraordinary people who had died. Both of them were of auxiliary classes. The reason for their death was probably the overestimation of their combat power. The reason why the contact was alive was probably because the mystical objects he possessed were relatively powerful.

As for the others, they were destined to die when they set off.

"Even low-level monsters, once it enters a combat state, it will not have any former resemblance. Even if they have extraordinary powers, they're very difficult to deal with."

"As for those ordinary people, I can only say no zuo no die1It's an internet slang for: serves you right for doing something so stupid. The internet term is taken from a well-known line spoken by Camus in Gundam Z (1985) episode 12 when he destroyed a swordfish."

As Tang Qi commented, the man finally moved his eyes away from the sculpture to the audience.

Glanced at the remaining people in the field who were already qualified.

He smiled with satisfaction and said: "Everyone, the market is about to start, you are the last wave of validators, come with me."

After saying that, he signaled for everyone to follow him to the depths of the manor.

At the same time, he gently commanded the shadow soldiers, "Clean up those monsters and corpses, and then return those lucky ones to their homes."

The people in the shadows nodded to show their understanding.

Then the group went to the other end of the manor.

In the crowd, Tang Qi was trying to identify this mysterious market initiator's organization.

Can distribute seals on a large scale with extraordinary birds!

More than one testing team!

They are members of an established system!

Their camp was neutral!

With a few judgments, he can basically confirm that this may be a powerful organization that had just emerged.

Maybe it couldn't be compared to official forces like the Old Castle Bureau, but it wins in concealment and neutrality.

At least for now, Tang Qi couldn't see any signs of this organization's plans.

Under the guidance of the supposed gentleman, the crowd headed for the real marketplace.

They arrived at the back of the manor, where four spacious carriages were parked, just enough to accommodate the qualified Tang Qi and others, a total of 22 people, each of them was assigned a seat.

The four carriages careered through the dark forest, but without the slightest sound. Like ghostly carriages, quickly hurtling away from the Rotten Truffle and heading towards a valley completely enveloped by the white night fog.

Since the carriage was closed, Tang Qi and others didn't know the trajectory.

After an unknown time had passed, the carriage entered a valley and then stopped.

The door opened, and everyone got off the carriage.

Hum!

Almost immediately, when the crowd saw the scene in front of them, their eyes lit up.

A trade fair, an extraordinary trade fair appeared in front of everyone.

It seemed to be a valley, with some humid night mist pervading the air. There were jagged black trees, some huge boulders covered with mud and moss, and several simple wooden houses in some corners. There seemed to be people residing in them, emitting a light yellow light.

At the same time, there were stalls in front of the trees, boulders, or simply on the roadside. The stall owners seemed to be shrouded in fog and couldn't be seen clearly. A group of figures walked between these stalls, stopped, and even squatted down to talk in low voices.

There was certainly a hint of a market, albeit a lukewarm one.

The gentleman who led everyone to the scene seemed to be very satisfied with the scene in front of him

He pointed directly at the entrance of the valley, where a dark shadow like a tree stump and a strange stone cylinder stood before the dark shadow, and said: "Everyone, you can update your seal there, you only require one divine grace gold coin at a time."

"After the seal is updated, you can officially enter the market."

"As for the detailed rules about the market, you can also learn them there."

After finishing his speech, he did not wait for everyone's reaction. He jumped directly on the first carriage and disappeared into the night fog like a ghost, as did the other three carriages.
