Struggle in the Steam Age

Different from the commercial area outside which seems to have just moved the above-ground shops to the ground, this truly extraordinary market is full of a certain mysterious flavor.

At least the fog that shrouds the guests, combined with the space being completely lit by the glowing moss lining the cave walls, gives the impression of a party of ghosts. .

"Ha, this is the real taste of the extraordinary market." Sai Feier looked around curiously and said, and then the two walked together in this cave.

Soon, Lawrence found a booth that he thought was quite interesting under the cool blue light from the glowing moss. The stall is a simple wrap stand under a stone pillar covered in glowing moss.

A guy in a black robe sat leaning against a stone pillar like this, and in front of him was a piece of floral cloth, on which were scattered a few things.

Seriously, this undefended posture makes one feel the urge to roll up that package and sweep it up.

Of course, even the most stupid people must know that since this market dares to do such a business, there must be something to rely on.

At least for those guys who want to rob with no technical content, they will definitely be killed by the market guards as soon as they start.

After simply looking at the items that showed extraordinary spiritual light in his field of vision, Lawrence immediately understood why these items were separated separately.

For example, after he randomly picked up a claw from a stall, he discovered that this claw was a real extraordinary item, belonging to some kind of completely undead beast.

For ordinary people, if they grind this claw and drink it, there is a small probability that the drinker can master one or two extraordinary powers related to the undead.

For example, let people put corpse poison on their nails, or let their blood contain some corrosive undead blood.

However, doing so is extremely risky, and on average, only one out of every 20 users can obtain extraordinary power. Others will basically be killed by the death power contained in this material and converted into some low-level undead creatures.

After putting down the claw, Lawrence immediately scanned the other items on the booth. It turned out that all the items stored here were extraordinary materials with serious side effects. If you can't ask professionals to handle it carefully, then these things have a high probability of causing death or irreversible damage to the user.

And through this incident, Lawrence finally knew why the two markets were completely separated back then.

After all, when intelligent creatures first used various extraordinary items, they used them directly in this way. Even today, various customs are still reserved and circulated in a small area in some areas.

But for an extraordinary market for high-end ordinary people, the mass death of guests is definitely unacceptable. Therefore, the market side can only open these dangerous extraordinary materials to those who are truly qualified.

Because I don't specialize in alchemy, and the things on this booth are basically all evil or undead items that are opposite to my attributes. So soon Lawrence left the booth and headed to the next one.

"Huh?" Lawrence's eyes widened in surprise as soon as he came to this booth. Because what appeared in front of him was a non-human stall owner.

Although the other party was also wearing a black robe, his height of more than three meters and the two horns protruding from the hood showed the identity of the other party: a tauren.

"As expected, it is the largest extraordinary market in this region." Lawrence, who recognized the identity of the tauren, whispered in his heart.

Obviously, in this area, as long as the Transcendents are willing to abide by the rules of the market, they can enter the market regardless of their origin. And being able to do this here also shows the strength of the people behind the scenes in the market.

Unlike the stall selling raw materials just now, this stall is filled with all kinds of extraordinary finished products. However, judging from the dirt and dust adhering to these items, these extraordinary finished products are not newly made, but seem to come from a certain relic.

They were naturally interested in these extraordinary trophies Lawrence, who looked old at a glance, so he and Safir quickly put on the isolation gloves they bought in advance and started to look at them.

After watching Safir pick up a metal forehead guard, Lawrence also picked up a sword placed on the cloth and looked at it.

Soon, the Bai Ze power in his blood told him what it was.

Although the specific name and origin of this weapon were unclear due to certain restrictions, Lawrence could accurately understand that this sword should belong to a sword used by a lawful good camp paladin, but it was only due to damage and the passage of time For the sake of it, the supernatural power has basically been lost.

"Can you tell me about the origin of this sword?" Lawrence waved the sword in his hand and said, "Of course, I know the rules in this regard. So you don't need to say where this sword came from, just say Just find the approximate location of the sword and what you think you can tell about it."

"These are the things that my team and I dug out from a ruin." After seeing Lawrence and the others stop in front of the booth and ask questions, the tauren said in a simple and honest voice. "As for the ruins, it's in a cave on the hill near the lake in the east."

"The cave was empty when we went in, but the wanderer in the team discovered that a wall of the cave was artificially built and opened that wall. Then he discovered the underground cave deep in the cave. maze."

"However, unexpectedly, there is almost nothing in the maze, only some low-level creatures like ooze monsters. After eliminating those ooze monsters, we found these treasures in the scattered boxes in the center of the maze .”

After listening to the tauren's narration, Lawrence asked a few words casually, and then picked up a pair of platinum bracelets inlaid with opals from the booth and looked at them carefully.

Through the inquiry just now, Lawrence felt that the so-called underground labyrinth was just a group of caves, with only a little trace of man-made renovation.

According to the tauren's description, the underground labyrinth should have been built by the local aborigines. But now these items all seem to be in the style of the western part of the mainland nearly a thousand years ago.

Therefore, Lawrence did not trust the story of the tauren in front of him. Of course, it is well known that a lot of people make up stories in this type of antiques market. Therefore, hearing such a story here, Lawrence didn't feel that there was anything abnormal.

But the tauren obviously didn't think much of it, and he seemed a little anxious after seeing Lawrence's expression of disbelief. Then he looked at the left and right and said to Lawrence, "I swear these are true. If you don't believe me, you can go to the ruins to see."

"The location of the ruins you are willing to share with me? This is not normal." After hearing what the tauren said, Lawrence put down the things in his hands and raised his head. "I remember that your expeditions are generally unwilling to share the location where you found these things with others."

"But this place is already empty." Speaking of this, the tauren showed a sly look in his big eyes like copper bells.

"The priest of the Goddess of Wealth in our team told me before I came that if anyone is willing to buy two hundred yuan worth of goods from me, then he can tell him where they were found."

Sure enough, there are not many simple and honest people who can come to this place to sell things. In particular, this kind of tauren mixed with the priest of the goddess of wealth is completely different from his compatriots on New Shaw Island.

It has to be said that by doing this, he really captured the curiosity in Lawrence's heart. Lawrence soon expressed his willingness to pay the money, as long as he was willing to tell the specifics of the place.
