Ding, ding, ding......

The bell on the table at the front desk rang immediately at the tap of Ye Qi's fingers; And in this crisp sound, behind the desk at the front desk, the door of a cabinet was pushed open from the inside and outside, and a middle-aged man in pajamas, sleepy-eyed walked out-

"Good evening, sir!"

Greeting, the middle-aged man, who was obviously the innkeeper, rubbed his eyes, took out the registration book that was placed in the drawer of the front desk desk, looked through it for a while, and said, "Your luck is good, we still have two spare rooms; One with its own bathroom and a view of the street outside; However, the price is a little more expensive than other rooms, requiring 80 yuan; The other room is a whole bedroom, and for washing, you need to go to the common bathroom; Of course, it also has a nice view from the window, so it also needs fifty dollars! ”

"Which room are you going to choose?"

Looking at Ye Qi in front of him, the innkeeper had a standard businessman's smile; In addition, with the sleepy-eyed appearance before, anyone who saw it would think that this was an ordinary businessman who ran a hotel - however, Ye Qi keenly watched that the moment the other party pushed open the door, the muscles of his whole body tensed, and he was completely ready to burst out or retreat, only after seeing him, he returned to his normal appearance.

Moreover, looking at the other party's walking posture, Ye Qi can be sure that there must be a dagger or pistol behind the other party's waist, and the other party inadvertently revealed calloused palms when he flipped through the registration book, there is no doubt that the former is much more likely, plus thick fingers. Obviously, the other party is also very good at hand-to-hand combat.

Such an observation was just Ye Qi's instinctive reaction as a witcher. It doesn't change just because you know it in advance – it's like practicing a technique. Even if the skill is mastered, if you don't practice it for a long time, it will still be rusty, and this kind of witcher's observation is the same; Only constant observation can keep it in an instinctive state and not be forgotten.

"The one that wants a separate bathroom!"

took out a bill with a denomination of 100 yuan, and Ye Qi handed it over; And then. At the moment when the boss took the banknote, the hand holding the coin made a quick gesture; From the perspective of the owner of the hotel, he saw this gesture very clearly, and his eyes flashed, but the surface was silent, and he took off a bunch of keys hanging on the wall next to him, and the whole person also walked out of the front desk, and said as he walked: "Sir." You come with me, your room is on the second floor! ”

Stairs leading up to the first floor. Located in the middle of the first floor of the entire hotel, after walking through about three rooms, Ye Qi followed the innkeeper to the second floor, and after the other party opened the door, he walked into the second room on the right-

"Do you need a late-night snack? Potatoes, beef, fried chicken, and some bread baked in the evening, only cost 10 pieces! ”

Like the owner who was selling the leftover meal from last night's hotel, he said with a smile on his face; But there are some gestures in the hand - the gestures between the chameleon and his subordinates are not just shown by a single party; It also needs to be confirmed twice by both parties before the identity can be truly confirmed; And the gesture at this time is that the innkeeper begins to confirm Ye Qi's identity.

"Okay!"

Ye Qi, who pretended to be considerate, replied only after responding to the other party's gesture.

"Please wait, I'll serve it to you shortly!"

The innkeeper made the last gesture of confirmation.

"What a shame!"

Ye Qi immediately responded; And after this response, the innkeeper immediately restrained his last trace of defense, he bowed to Ye Qi very respectfully, and his lowered voice was also full of respect: "My lord, I am willing to serve you!" ”

He was not surprised at the fact that the female leader of the chameleon in the Qiannuma District had taken it as a lesson from the past, but handed over the secret letter that had been written long ago to the hotel in front of him, and the latter nodded understandingly, turned around and walked out—not asking more about his boss had almost become the default rule of the chameleon's subordinates; And what they have to do is do what the boss tells them to do.

About fifteen minutes later, the innkeeper with the plate knocked on the door again; After putting the plate containing the food on the coffee table in the room, indicating that the plate would be retrieved tomorrow morning, the innkeeper made a gesture that everything was done, and with Ye Qi's slight nod, he turned around and left the room, and helped Ye Qi close the door - at the Norshide family's dinner, Ye Qi, who had eaten enough food, did not touch the food on the plate, but after locking the door, he began to restore his original appearance; After putting some unnecessary items belonging to 'Finger' back into the [Dimensional Bag], Ye Qi took out a cloak that he had been preparing since he had two dimensional bags and had extra space to carry around.

Boom!

Holding each corner of the cloak in both hands, and shaking his arms vigorously, the characteristic friction sound of cloth brocade and air immediately sounded; Then, with a flip of the wrist, the black cloak was draped over Ye Qi's shoulders; After putting on the hood, Ye Qi stood in front of the bathroom mirror, carefully checked it for a long time, and immediately walked out of the bathroom after confirming that no one would see his true face.

Not leaving immediately, Ye Qi took out the minor injury healing potion he had purchased earlier, and then took out a relic of the Wizard Emperor of the same level; Began several serious comparisons - when the results of several comparisons were consistent, Ye Qi put everything away with a smile on his face this time, came to the window next to the big bed in the bedroom, pulled up the 'L' bolt, pushed open one of the windows, and the whole person turned into a black shadow, jumped out, and disappeared into the night silently.

……

When Ye Qi appeared outside the Norsd family manor again, the flow of people in the Wizard's Secret City did not decrease as dawn began, on the contrary, the number of people increased even more than when Ye Qi left before; Even, in some places, there was a situation of crowding.

Of course, if such a situation arises, it will not be for no reason -

"It's a one-handed longsword mixed with the powder that once belonged to the Elven Diamond. It's not just sharp. And with the blessing of thirty flames and strong winds! So. Any good sword player should not miss such a weapon, it will be your most faithful companion in the future! ”

A middle-aged wizard held a standard longsword and demonstrated to the people around him that he was right—an ordinary one-handed longsword was raised by him, and then, under the action of his hands, the two longswords immediately exchanged fires with each other.

Boom!

Immediately, the ordinary longsword was split in two, but the longsword blessed with magic was not damaged in the slightest; In the exclamation of admiration of the crowd. The middle-aged wizard didn't stop, and a stake became his next cover-up - with a whoop, the flames wrapped the long sword, and the heat wave that rolled up made the innermost people involuntarily take two steps back, and then all looked at the stake that was about to be split without blinking.

Click!

Everyone could see clearly, when the long sword was at least about five centimeters away from the stake, the stake was split in two, and then the two halves of the stake ignited in an instant, and after a few breaths, only a puddle of ash was left on the ground to prove the existence of the stake here.

"Twenty-five standard low-grade magic crystals!"

The middle-aged wizard's demonstration made the hearts of those around him warm. However, in the face of such a price, many people are discouraged, after all. Most of the dark mercenaries and witchers, and even the people of the highest government, are very ordinary beings; They may have had that money at one time, but it's least likely that they'll always have it - the witchers with Kimpton will go out for a drink, treat themselves to a delicious meal or simply find something to relax, as will the dark mercenaries and the people of the Supreme Government with special status.

However, not having enough money does not mean that these people will leave, they still stand in place, watching the person who can really afford the price appear-even if they can't have it, they can see who owns it, holding such a simple look at the excitement; And, when they meet in the future, there are not a few people who naturally have a better chance of winning, so there are not a few people who have a slightly deeper idea; The latter, in particular, is the real reason why those who stayed there did not leave; After all, the peace at this moment is just a special situation in the Wizard Secret City, and their real relationship is still hostile!

Such hostility naturally makes them want to find out whether the person who gets a powerful weapon is the enemy-

"Twenty-five standard low-grade magic crystals, I want them!"

After a slight silence around them, a person from the Supreme Government in uniform spoke straight; It is not very difficult to distinguish which force you belong to in the crowd; Just as the Demon Hunter Apostle has an apostolic trench coat, the ordinary Demon Hunter's habitual hunting attire, the supreme government is dominated by military and police uniforms, and the Holy See's is the robes of priests and deacons; And the rest of the various costumes are undoubtedly the other powerful people in the Dark World Realm, in addition to most of the dark mercenaries, there are also many merchants who run special businesses.

As long as there is a crowd, there will be business, and even if it is a special group of people, there will be businessmen who are willing to take risks and show up there to earn enough Kimpton for themselves; And in a large special bazaar like the Wizard Secret City, there will naturally be no shortage of such people; As soon as the supreme government man finished quoting the price, a person who looked like a merchant was dressed like a merchant and made an offer with a merchant smile.

"Twenty-six!"

According to the rules of the wizarding secret market, when fighting for the same item, it is not by force, but by the highest price; This is naturally good news for pure businessmen; so that they can let go of the last scruples, and use their own good means to deal with the things in front of them - force, for businessmen is a double-edged sword, they will use it, they will also scruples; Of course, the proportion of the two will change with the change of circumstances, and at this moment, in the Wizard Secret City, there is no such concern at all.

"Twenty-seven!"

"Twenty-eight!"

Because of the rules of the wizard secret city, the merchant ignored the glare of the person from the highest government, and immediately began to increase the price after the other party quoted a price - looking at the other party's anxious performance, Ye Qi guessed that the other party did not have a lot of funds, but he wanted this sword very much.

Maybe this is his last money, not necessarily!

Ye Qi, who stopped for a moment to watch this scene, thought like this-the reason why the Wizard Secret City attracts so many people is in addition to its safety. What's more important is the boutique that pops up from time to time; Of course. This so-called boutique does not mean that it is placed in the hall of the Northside family at the moment. Those who are clearly present as the finale; Rather, it refers to the special objects that pop up from time to time in these ordinary stalls.

There are times when people are lucky or have a flash of inspiration, and when they do, it's time for the best to appear—they may be a little worse than the items that the Wizard's Secret City has made for the finale, but they are definitely not too bad, enough to attract attention; What's more, they are placed in various regular stalls and are within people's reach.

Ye Qi wouldn't believe it. The hall where the finale items of the Wizard's Secret City are displayed can be entered and exited by anyone at will—the reason why people are so keen on power and fame is precisely because power and fame bring about a considerable status, and this status will make people have all kinds of privileges, right?

Of course, such so-called boutiques will not appear at will, as every stall owner's hole cards, they will always be played at critical moments; For example: soliciting business that is not easy to do; Or when there are so many people that it can attract a lot of attention, it's like now.

Glancing at the few remaining items on the table behind the middle-aged wizard, it was obvious that the other party was planning to end the sale of the wizard's secret market early-such a phenomenon. It's not uncommon in Wizarding Secret City; It's like the wizard Ye Qi first met who had a lot of research on potions and made his cauldron explode. When he left before, the other party was already cleaning up the stall that was sold out; However, such stalls will not be empty, some wizards who have been waiting in line will settle in these stalls, and some dark mercenaries who have not grabbed a booth in special areas will also spend some Kimpton to rent these stalls.

As Ye Qi had guessed, one of the members of the Supreme Government Special Operation, after the merchant raised the price again, kept silent; However, the merchant did not have long to be complacent, when he was interrupted by a voice; A man dressed similarly to Ye Qi, shrouded in a cloak, quoted.

"Thirty pieces!"

"Thirty-one!"

The merchant, whose face had changed, followed the offer once more; However, like the special service member of the highest government who was forced to retreat by him before, he was also a little nervous at the moment; Obviously, the same businessman had a very limited amount of money compared to his previous rivals.

"Thirty-five!"

The man in the cloak made another offer, and this time it was clearly beyond the merchant's bottom line; Shaking his head in annoyance, the merchant retreated into the crowd; Obviously, such a price was enough for those present to willingly hand over that good sword to someone - after all, there was probably something better in the Wizard's Secret Market for almost two weeks, and they didn't need to hurry.

Therefore, after seeing that the last buyer had paid for the magic crystal and obtained the long sword, the people around him dispersed one after another, and looked elsewhere; The middle-aged wizard, who was the stall owner, also adjusted the price of the remaining items to Luxia, and then sat back in his place.

As for the buyer who finally succeeded, he mixed in with the crowd early and went to other places—however, after everyone had left, the merchant who had made the bid turned back again, and although he had changed his clothes, the same fluctuations could not be concealed from Ye Qi; Ye Qi clearly saw the middle-aged wizard smiling and greeting the merchant, and casually handed over a small cloth bag.

According to the fluctuation of [Blind Bucket Perception], there are at least three standard units of low-grade magic crystals in it.

Then after the two sides talked very eagerly, the businessman left again—and Ye Qi, who had everything in his eyes, shrugged his shoulders with a smile; This approach may be a little inappropriate, but Ye Qi has not yet debunked it with a strong sense of justice; After all, this is how the other side survives.

What's more, that magic sword wouldn't make that buyer lose too much - of course, Ye Qi didn't believe in any elven diamond powder at all, it should be another kind of magic blessing similar to 'Sharp Arts'; the blessing of the three magic powers, although the latter two did not maximize their effects, but they were not bad; maybe it was a little far from the low-grade magic crystals of thirty-five standard units, but if it was halved, its value was still there.

Maybe if you can save yourself once with this sword, then it will far exceed the value of this moment.

With such an idea, Ye Qi walked straight towards the side hall of the Nosd family - just a little closer, [Blind Fighting Perception] sensed the fluctuations in the main hall belonging to the bishop who led the team of the Holy See this time, obviously, it was not appropriate to enter directly.

"Outsider, stop!"

Even if it's just a side hall, there are still guards from the Norsd family.

"Is the head of the Fletcher family here?"

As he spoke, Ye Qi pulled back his hood slightly, revealing only half of his face to the guards; Although there is still a normal face in the cover, no one in the Norsd family will forget the owner of this face, and what the head of the family has told him what to do when he sees him; The two guards bowed and saluted.

"I just want to meet the head of the Fletcher family, please keep quiet!"

"Yes, my lord! Please wait a moment! ”

After one of the guards gestured to the other, the latter immediately ran towards the main hall on the side, while the remaining guards made a gesture of invitation to Ye Qi towards the side hall.
