Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Mysterious Merchant

At midnight in the Cat Castle, a magical corridor with a quiet glow, a room suddenly opened.

Tang Qi, who had obviously not slept before, walked out, looked down at the cat pattern on his pajamas, and changed his appearance very dedicatedly.

In a few steps, the beautiful boy who didn't wake up turned into a "strange thief" in a night suit, without making any sound, without alarming any transcendent creatures along the way, or the magic settings in charge of vigilance, as if he had a castle map in his mind, and he was extremely skillful at bypassing all guards.

Tang Qi didn't use his strength in this process, and he purely had the help of Thorpe, an "inner ghost".

Soon, just a few seconds later, a gorgeous, heavy door appeared in Tang Qi's eyes.

To get close to the portal, you have to go through a very long corridor, although it looks normal, with many paintings hanging on both sides, flower pots, utensils, and so on.

But naturally it was impossible to hide from Tang Qi's eyes, there were at least hundreds of vigilance, defense, and attack magic devices in the corridor.

What made Tang Qi speechless even more was the portal.

The reason why the portal is called "gorgeous" is simply because it has a large number of mysterious symbols and magical runes on it.

Each represents great power, and all have extraordinary origins.

Tang Qi can make a judgment after a cursory look, if it is a hard break, the legendary-level transcendent is close to the end and cannon fodder, and the demigod-level may be able to struggle for a moment or two, only the real "Ten Thousand Spirits" have a chance to break in, provided that the two reliefs on the portal are not activated.

One represents "Death" and the other "Night".

A transcendent person with a little wisdom will not want to break through.

Tang Qi tugged at the corners of his mouth, and complained in his heart that the backstage of the three sisters of the cat was indeed hard enough, and then stepped into the corridor as if nothing happened.

Predictably, all early warning facilities failed.

Before Tang Qi came to the gorgeous portal, he hesitated for half a second at the three vivid "Cat Reliefs" in front of him, and then spit out the secret order.

Complex, obscure syllables, long secret orders made of hundreds of languages blended together.

However, the content is too shameful, and it translates to a series of "meow ......".

If there was a second option, of course Tang Qi would not say such a shameful secret order, but now it is clearly not.

He could have broken in, but he just opened the door, and it was too extravagant to clash with the divine power of the "Night Lady" for this.

As the last syllable fell, the door to the treasury opened silently.

Light!

The brilliance of the treasure that blinded the eyes briefly poured from the treasure house.

Tang Qi considers himself a qualified "collector", and his collection contains not only a large number of strange objects, but also many sacred objects.

But at this moment, he had to admit that compared to the picture he saw in front of him, Tang Qi's collection room looked extremely shabby.

As far as the eye can see, it is the light of strange things.

There is no end to the "strange object shelf" made of various materials, neatly arranged, and a large number of strange objects are placed on each shelf.

Tang Qi's human body is set off by those tall curiosities like creatures from Lilliputia.

It was rare that he did not enter the treasure house immediately, and he stopped at the door for half a second, and only after getting used to the brilliance of the treasure did he step into it.

It was when his feet touched the floor of the vault that a sharp alarm sounded in the castle.

In an instant, all the devices were triggered.

A large number of transcendent beings gathered together, and their hostile eyes looked at Tang Qi, who was standing in the treasure house with a helpless look in his eyes.

At the entrance of the corridor, Sandao's tall figure in pajamas slowly appeared.

Three Cat Sisters!

At an outrageous speed, Physis, Helena, and Selena, who were clearly still asleep, were teleported at the same time.

When Tang Qi saw them, the three sisters naturally also saw the beautiful boy who turned into a thief.

Surprise, annoyance, and disbelief appeared on the faces of the three women.

This reaction couldn't be more normal, Tang Qi also understood very well, the three sisters kindly took him in, a "male prostitute" who would have been sold, who would have thought that he would take revenge and come in the middle of the night to steal the treasures in their three sisters' treasure house.

Although he wanted to shout a word of injustice, Tang Qi still had to follow the "script".

He first showed a smug smile to the three sisters, and then grabbed a handful on the shelf next to him, no matter what kind of strange thing he obtained, he turned around and fled into smoke.

Watching the shameless thief flee, the three sisters were about to react.

But at this moment, an ugly and wrinkled Shar Pei dog jumped out with great anger.

While chasing into the depths of the treasure house, he turned his head to the three sisters and shouted: "Great and beautiful goddess, don't worry, as the most powerful guard of the treasure house, I will definitely capture that shameless, ugly, vile, and stupid thief...... No, I'm going to burn him straight to death with hellfire. ”

"No one can steal the treasure in the treasure trove of cats, this is my promise. ”

The words fell, and the Shar Pei dog slipped away without a trace.

This abrupt change made the three goddesses stunned for two seconds before they reacted.

What's a little weird is that the three sisters, who should have been extremely angry, suddenly disappeared with anger on their faces at the same time, and they didn't seem to be dissatisfied with the beautiful boy who was kind enough to take them in to become thieves, but they were very puzzled by the changes that had just happened.

Selena, the youngest of the three sisters, couldn't help it at first, and said in surprise: "...... What is Daddy doing?"

When Fervers and Helena heard this, they shook their heads at the same time.

......

In the depths of the treasure house, in front of a clutter pile full of sparkling gems and strange things, Tang Qi, who had completed the performance with Thorpe, looked at an ordinary old wooden box in front of him.

The wooden box is black and yellow, full of scars, and the surface of the box is engraved with an abstract painting symbol, which looks like two black figures, standing face to face, both holding out their hands to each other, as if they are hugging, and also like other postures.

Wonderful fragments of information, flowing instantly.

"Extraordinary: The Door of the Chest, a portal that connects 'Everything Can Be Seen', entering the chest, you can enter the organization's trading place, and you need an introducer to obtain permission. ”

When Tang Qi looked, Thorpe had already shaken his head and walked over, the dog's paw stretched out, and with a "click", the box automatically opened, and there was nothing inside, only a dark passage leading to nowhere, and a downward ladder condensed purely by light could be faintly visible.

"Let's go, troublesome investigator. ”

Thorpe, the Grim Reaper, climbed into the chest first, and before going down, he glared at Donchi's hand, which was still holding a strange object, and added, "Put down the [Tucson Gem] for me, it's one of my Selena's favorite gems." ”

Tang Qi looked into his palm, and what he grabbed was a fist-sized natural gem with majestic magic flashing on it, a strange thing called a Tucson gem, and it had only one effect, that is, to add charm attributes.

It's a nice curiosity, but it's nowhere near the point of being coveted by Don Qi.

Placing the gem on a wooden shelf, Donkey followed Thorpe into the door of the chest.

Descending the light ladder, the duration was very long, and with each staircase, Tang Qi could see the ghostly light rippling out, and some images that seemed to be projected from various cosmic dimensions flickered and disappeared.

This wonderful image lasts until the landing, and Donkey and Shar Pei stand together in a special place.

Beneath his feet was not dirt, but nothingness, surrounded by a foggy darkness.

But in the distance, a huge "building" appeared.

It looked like a crystalline cube, shimmering with a wondrous brilliance, like a special beacon that caught all eyes in the shadows.

"Everything can be sold!"

Thorpe suddenly sighed and spat out a sentence.

Immediately, he walked to the cube first.

As soon as he took the first step, a bright light rose under his feet, forming a "path of light" as if it had been lit, dragging Donkey and Thorpe directly towards the cube.

At the same moment, Tang Qi saw the darkness.

Countless paths of light appeared, each dragging a different figure into the cube.

Tang Qi, who had touched the new knowledge, was looking at the fragments of information flowing through his mind in amazement.

"A building forged from one of the oldest and hardest substances in the vast mysteries, it cannot be destroyed, it cannot be moved, it cannot be taken, it belongs to all things and can be sold...... Can't parse!"

Once again, Tang Qi encounters a strange object that cannot be parsed.

Ever since his "Knowing Everything" has been transformed, this has been an extremely rare scene.

Fortunately, Thorpe, the Shar Pei dog in front, is fulfilling his duties as a guide.

"Its name is the 'Rubik's Cube of Everything', and it has been around for a very long time, dating back to the Origin Era, and even ...... ancient. ”

"Its owners are a mysterious and ancient group of beings who call themselves 'mysterious merchants', and although they are considered to belong to the 'permanent neutral camp', they do not identify themselves as such, and they define themselves as more detached and unrestricted. ”

"But so far, they have only one activity, and that is buying and selling. ”

"Here, you can sell anything, as long as you own it, and you can buy anything, as long as you can afford it. ”

"It's a place to welcome guests from any universe and any dimension, and as long as you can come in, you can always get what you want. ”

"Even in the collection room of a certain master, the richness of the treasures is far from comparable to here. ”

At Thorpe's voice, the light that dragged them quickly touched the cube.

The ghostly light immediately surged, and Tang Qi felt a terrifying repulsion on the surface of the crystal that was devoid of ripples or symbols, and was extremely smooth.

"If you don't pass the verification, you will be banished to the deepest depths of the infinite mystery. ”

A hunch was born, but fortunately, Thorpe's introducer qualification had not expired.

With a sense of time and space shifting, Donkey and Thorpe appear together in a blank room.

The room seemed to be filled with a galaxy, a large number of stars twinkling, the Milky Way flowing, and shooting stars from time to time.

In this brilliant and unbelievable sight, Tang Qi looked at the center of the room, where a white table was placed, with a chair in the front and back.

On the chair behind the table, a figure was already sitting.

He was completely shrouded in purple robes, and his face and limbs were not revealed.

He nodded to Thorpe first, and then as if he knew who the real guest was this time, he looked directly at Tang Qi, and the voice that could not distinguish gender, age, or even race sounded in this room.

"Everything can be sold, guests from afar, I already know what you want, now let's talk about the price, shall we?"

"If you are willing to sign up as a member, there will be a discount on this transaction. ”

Unexpectedly, like some kind of salesman's line, spit out from the mouth of the purple-robed mysterious merchant.

ps: There is also an update, ask for a double monthly pass.
