Sean's night vision ability is not very outstanding, but as a powerhouse at the peak of the legend, he still has the night vision ability that he should have. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But at this moment, in front of him, except for the faint observation of a silhouette that should be human sitting on a soft sofa, Sean couldn't even see the other party's facial features.

The outside of the room was lit up as if it were daylight by the continuous burst of magical fireworks, but the environment inside the room was like a black hole capable of swallowing all light—Sean hadn't noticed this until now, and he found that his perception seemed to become slightly dull. But in any case, two diametrically opposed worlds have formed inside and outside the house: darkness and light.

But what really shocked Sean was not this dark environment like a black hole.

It's the two words that come out of the other person's mouth.

Xu Qing.

A name that shouldn't belong to this world.

Even the people of the Cinnas Empire, the strongest overlord in the Eastern Continent, who have the same black hair and black eyes as Sean and a typical Oriental face, their names basically follow the so-called "Westerner format" in Sean's memory, that is, the way of combining names and surnames. Moreover, the surname that Sean has seen that most resembles the ancient Chinese of the earth has only one "Luo" character, and most of the others are still in the form of multi-character construction.

But at this moment, a person who claimed to be Xu Qing appeared in front of him so suddenly.

Sean's pupils shrank, and his emotions fluctuated to an extreme extent.

"You've seen other Plane Travelers." The man who claimed to be Xu Qing spoke again, "It seems that I didn't find the wrong person. ”

Sean's perception seemed to regain at this moment, and he keenly noticed the phrase "other plane travelers" that Xu Qing had said. And in his memory, the only people who could be worthy of this vocabulary were the ones he had the privilege of meeting and fighting with: Andrew, Bess, and Nkos.

"Who the hell are you?" Sean's muscles tensed, then relaxed slightly, a standard signal that he was in combat mode.

"Hey, don't be nervous, I'm not here to fight you." The other party seemed to feel Sean's muscle information, so he smiled and said, but there was no tension in his words, and even a faint look of expectation, it seemed that Sean's desperate action against him would make him more satisfied, "As for me...... Didn't I already tell you, my name is Xu Qing. Not...... Let's just be a businessman. ”

"Merchant?" For Xu Qing's statement, Sean scoffed a little.

"Of course, it's just that the goods I deal in are different from those of ordinary businessmen in the traditional sense." Xu Qing's voice was a little more smiling, and it seemed that no matter when and where, he had a unique temperament of calm and confidence, "With me, you can buy everything, no matter what it is." ”

Xu Qing emphasized the phrase "everything".

"Huh." Sean let out a sneer, the look on his face was obviously not convinced, "Everything has to be sold?" ”

"Of course." From the other side came the man's tone of obvious smugness.

"And what about the World Tree shoots?" Sean said coldly.

"World Tree Shoots?" Xu Qing thought for a moment, and then slapped his palm, "Don't you say that I'm almost over, I got something a long, long time ago, and I can't sell it, I almost forgot that I have this kind of thing." ”

Hearing the other party's voice and tone, Sean was obviously stunned for a moment, but he didn't fully trust the other party's words.

Until, throwing something from the other party's hand, Sean subconsciously reached out to take it, and the whole person was completely stunned.

Held in Sean's hand was the seed of the World Tree, which had been infused with enough life force and began to sprout.

He didn't know what the World Tree sprouts looked like, but after all, he had seen the Tree of Life, and he had also recuperated in the room where the vitality of the Tree of Life was the strongest, so he was extremely sensitive to the breath of the Tree of Life. And what is currently being held in Sean's hand has a more intense and pure vitality than the vitality exuded by the Tree of Life that Sean once felt, and the aura is obviously more powerful than the Tree of Life.

There is no doubt that this seed that looks like it is just beginning to sprout, and it is definitely the sprout of the World Tree.

"This ...... How is this possible! Sean let out an exclamation, "In this world, there is no ...... at all"

Halfway through the words, Sean had already remembered the identity of the other party.

Xu Qing, a mysterious guy who claims to be a businessman.

The other party is obviously not a person from this world, or an existence that does not belong to this plane, so it is not a strange thing for him to have a World Tree sprout in his hand, maybe the world where the other party is located has a World Tree, and he has obtained such a World Tree sprout because of this.

But what makes Sean puzzled is, which plane world is the other party from?

This is obviously like the naming method of the Chinese people on Earth......

"It looks like you've realized something." Xu Qing's voice sounded again, but this time with his voice, the darkness of the room began to converge towards Xu Qing's location as if it had been pulled by something, and in a blink of an eye, the whole room was bright again.

And this time, Sean finally saw the other party's appearance.

It was a young man who looked to be in his thirties, with the same black hair and black eyes as Sean, and a very typical oriental face, but the most striking thing was his eyes, which had an indescribable aura. He was wearing a casual black suit - very out of place in the dress of the Miracle Continent, and on the outside of the suit was a wide black trench coat and a pair of military-style boots on his feet.

This man, or Xu Qing, sat on a soft sofa with such a big grin, his right hand resting on the back of the sofa, crossing Erlang's legs, while his left hand was held flat, and the culprit who caused the darkness of the whole room just now was condensed into a small black ball, suspended on his left hand.

"Dark realm, are you interested?" Seeing Sean's gaze focused on the black ball in his left hand, Xu Qing smiled and said, "If you want, I can sell it to you cheaper." …… The three-level rules that have been thoroughly analyzed can be used immediately as long as you buy them, so you don't have to re-analyze and understand all the troubles. If you buy it now, you will also get five years of after-sales consultation answers. ”

"Even the law can be sold?" Sean frowned.

"Of course." Xu Qing's face still kept a smile, "Don't say it's a law, as long as you can afford enough money, I can even get you a dimensional world." …… Of course, it's impossible to be in a high-level plane like yours, but a barren plane that hasn't given birth to any sapient beings or creatures is fine. ”

Holding the World Tree sprout in his hand, Sean was silent for a moment before finally speaking, "What is the basis for trading currencies?" ”

"In principle, anything goes." Xu Qing laughed, at this moment, Sean felt that the other party was a bit like those devils in the hell plane, giving him a very cunning feeling, "Anything, including life, love, family affection, wisdom, even laws, your heirs, your army, and everything else, as long as you can take it out, can be used as a bargain." …… Of course, in terms of value, there must be negotiation. ”

"So...... What if I want to buy this World Tree sprout in your hand? Sean began, "What do I have to give?" ”

A smile appeared on Xu Qing's face, and as soon as he shook his left hand, the black ball that should be the law of darkness disappeared from his hand in an instant, and the temperament of the whole person also changed greatly at this moment.

"I need a message." Xu Qing's whole person was instantly like a beast ready to hunt, full of aggression, "You just need to tell me where the other plane travelers who have been in contact with you have gone to, so this World Tree shoot...... It's yours. ”

Sighing softly, Sean shook his head: "Change the content of the negotiation, I can't promise you this." It's not that I don't want to say, it's that I really don't know their whereabouts. ”

Xu Qing stared at Sean, he didn't answer immediately, but pursed his lips and frowned.

At this moment, the momentum brought by Xu Qing in silence to Sean was extraordinarily heavy, which was really like a mountain.

This feeling is not unfamiliar to Sean, because he had felt it in Alexis, and it was a unique momentum that could only be felt when the strength of the two sides was already in an absolute gap - especially for Sean, who had begun to touch the realm of the super strong, as long as his perception was not blinded. And from this point of view, Sean has already been able to judge that the so-called businessman in front of him, who calls himself Xu Qing, may not be weaker than Alexis at all.

Even, faintly, through the sense of coercion that the other party brought to him, Sean thought that the other party and Andrew had a very similar force field.

If this is the case, then the personal strength of this businessman named Xu Qing can even be said to be completely above Alexis.

This is also the reason why Sean had to dispel the idea of robbing the World Tree shoots from the other party.

As for relying on the news of betraying Andrew and others in exchange for this World Tree shoot, Sean is not the kind of person who has no shame and bottom line. He can obtain a World Tree sprout through other methods, or means, but all of these methods and means will never include betraying his friends.

The silence, like a mountain, weighed down Sean almost out of breath.

Beads of sweat the size of beans had begun to appear on Sean's forehead.

"Okay." As Xu Qing spoke again, the pressure of silence suddenly disappeared without a trace, "I believe you really don't know." …… In that case, let's make another deal. ”

Xu Qing's words are full of a unique temptation. Confuse. Sex, like those devils in hell, is always able to find the inner weakness of the interlocutor, and then eat away at the other person's psychological defense line bit by bit.

"What kind of deal?" But Sean, after all, still can't easily give up this World Tree shoot.

"Allow me to scan this dimensional world." Xu Qing opened his mouth and said, "Then I will leave a beacon in this world, this beacon is a bridge of communication between you and me, and it is also ...... Proof of our transactions. The former is my trading requirement, while the latter is a necessary part of the transaction, and if you don't agree, then our transaction will not be valid, and you will not be able to use this sprout of the World Tree. ”

"I want you to explain two things." Sean frowned and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Excuse me." Xu Qing regained his previous relaxed posture like a noble son.

"Why...... Want to scan the world? Sean asked the first question.

"That's what we're trading for, I need to ...... All the data in this world, but I am a very impatient person, so I don't spend a lot of time to understand all the structures of this world, including history, humanities, science and technology, etc., so I can only get an understanding of this world through special means of scanning. Xu Qing thought for a while, as if he was organizing the language, and only after a moment did he speak, "I said, I am a businessman, you know what a businessman is, right?" It's the kind of trader who transports one specialty from one place to another to sell, except that I sell something between different planes. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Qing pointed to the World Tree sprout in Sean's hand, and then continued: "Just like your world, there are no World Tree sprouts, I can bring you World Tree sprouts from other dimensional worlds. And I also believe that your world must have something that other dimensional worlds don't have, but I don't know enough about this world, and I can't be sure what special products your world has that can bring me benefits, so I need to scan. ”

"Similar to ...... Specialty surveys? ”

"Almost." Xu Qing shrugged, "I am a plane merchant who trades in the specialties of the plane world space. In my opinion, anything can be traded, even the army under your command, I also think it is a material that can be traded. ”

"The army can also be traded?" Sean raised an eyebrow, "How to trade?" ”

"It depends on the situation, and it is generally divided into employment and buyout." Xu Qing opened his mouth to explain, "If you hire me, I will hire this army from you to complete a task for me, and the distribution of war spoils, compensation for war damages, etc., will be negotiated before I hire." …… And if it's a buyout, then how I want to use this army, that's my business. ”

Sean nodded slightly, and then continued to ask, "You just said that everything can be traded?" ”

"Yes." Xu Qing nodded, "Technology, soul, power, laws, knowledge, and so on, all belong to the scope of trade. …… However, the value of these things also varies from person to person. For example, for a scientific researcher, the most valuable thing is his technology and knowledge, and for a saint, the most valuable thing is his soul. …… Depending on the value, the goods that can be traded are naturally different. ”

"I see." Sean nodded again, "Then the second question, what does beacon mean?" ”

"To put it simply, it's a transaction certificate." Xu Qing's answer this time was obviously much faster, obviously this question was not the first time he had answered, "It's the same as you allow other caravans to trade in your city." This beacon is the credential you allow me to trade in this plane. Only after the beacon is set up can I bring products that do not belong to this world into this world and make them work, otherwise only if the same rules allow it, the things I bring into this world can be effective. ”

"It's about the composition of the plane, right?"

"Yes." Xu Qing nodded, expressing his high appreciation for Sean for being able to understand everything so quickly.

In different plane worlds, except for the core two laws of time and space, the power of other laws is actually high and low, and even some plane worlds will lack the power of other laws. One of the most famous is the elemental plane: for example, in the case of the fire elemental plane, in addition to the core laws of time and space, the highest law is fire, and this plane does not have any water-related laws at all.

According to Xu Qing, if you want to bring the water of life to the fire elemental plane, for example, and to ensure that this water of life can still be effective, and not just a thirst-quenching thing, then you must set up a beacon on the fire elemental plane.

"However, once the beacon is set up, then other people on this plane can also trade with me, and you are not the only one who has this power. …… I have to make this clear to you. Xu Qing reminded, "To set up a beacon, I must obtain the consent of a son of a plane like you, but once the beacon is established, then any creature in this plane world is qualified to trade with me." ”

"Do you know who I am?" Sean blinked, he had always thought his identity was very well hidden.

"Of course, otherwise how could I have found you directly." Xu Qing said with a smile, "But you can rest assured, I have arranged a causal force field around this house, and it can be said that this house has been completely stripped from this plane at this moment, and your boss can't hear the conversation between us." ”

Xu Qing's words made Sean fall into deep thought.

He always felt that Xu Qing's appearance had a very strong purpose, and he could even say that the other party's words were seven truths and three falsehoods. He could clearly feel that the other party wanted to scan this dimensional world not just to understand the materials that this world could be used as a special product, but for some other purpose, but he couldn't guess what this Xu Qing really wanted.

Even, even the other party's initial statement that he wanted him to provide information about Andrew's whereabouts, he felt that it was probably just an opening statement.

The only thing Sean can be sure of is that Xu Qing in front of him does not have any ill will towards him.

"What is the plane that you can use as a trade partner?" After being silent for a long time, Sean still couldn't figure out the purpose of this man named Xu Qing, so he turned to ask another question.

"According to the standard process, the object I can trade with must be the dimensional world where my own will was born." Xu Qing seemed to be thinking about the wording, and this time his answer was a little longer than the previous brewing, "Let's put it this way, when all normal plane worlds are just born, there will be no plane will, and the so-called plane will is a kind of consciousness that is gradually formed after countless years of development in a plane. …… And a plane like this that has not yet given birth to the will of the plane, I call it the barren plane, which means that there will be no life on this plane at all, and some will only ...... Minerals and other resource things, and planes like this, I can take possession of them at any time and use them as my trades. Of course, if I still have enough shelter energy. ”

"Shelter energy?" Sean heard a new term.

"It's not so easy to find a barren plane like this, and even if you find it, maybe someone will rob you, don't you think I'm the only plane merchant?" Xu Qing smiled self-deprecatingly, "I have today, and to be honest, I have experienced a lot of training. …… It's a bit of a stretch, but you simply think it's a kind of storage, making sure I can incorporate such a plane into my storage. ”

Sean nodded and motioned for Xu Qing to continue.

“…… And then there's the plane that has given birth to the will, which I call the primary plane. Xu Qing thought for a moment, and then spoke, "Such a plane has already begun to give birth to life, such as animals, plants, and even ...... Mankind. Xu Qing thought about it for a long time before using the term "human": "However, a plane like this is actually very weak, if I want, I can completely erase the will of such a plane and also include it in my list of trading goods." ”

"You seem to have mentioned earlier that the plane I am in is a high-level plane."

"Yes, yes." Xu Qing nodded, "The reason why the primary plane is primary is that this plane does not have any self-protection ability at all. However, if this plane is allowed to continue to develop, then the human beings on this plane will give birth to their own civilization, perhaps with technology as the main force, or magic as the main force, or even with all kinds of strange energy as the main force. …… In this kind of low-level plane, I can't erase the will of the plane, but I can communicate with the will of the plane, and according to the limit level of different planes, I divide this kind of plane into three levels. ”

"If the growth limit of the plane is within the tenth order, I call it the first-order plane; And those whose plane limits are at the fifteenth order, I call them second-order planes; The eighteenth-order ones are what I call the third-order plane. …… Earth, I'm sure you're no stranger to it, right? Today's Earth is already a third-level plane after developing enough power to enter the galaxy. Xu Qing opened his mouth and said, "In fact, the growth limit of a plane is not immutable, and a very few special planes will have relatively large ups and downs. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Qing's brows couldn't help frowning slightly: "It's like the earth, when it was at its peak, it was a high-level plane. However, for a long time in between, the Earth even degraded to the level of what can only be called a lower plane. …… However, there is a rule for us Plane Merchants, which is not to include the plane worlds that gave birth to Plane Merchants in the trade list. …… However, even if I hadn't become a plane merchant at that time, I'm sure not many people would have dared to attack the idea of Earth. ”

"Why?"

"Because the earth once reached the level of the legendary plane, even if it later degenerated, there are still very terrifying old monsters."

Sean keenly noticed that Xu Qing had used the new term twice in a row: "High-level planes and high-level planes, as well as legendary planes...... What's the difference? ”

"The high-level plane refers to the plane world that has broken through the eighteenth-order growth limit, like the plane world you are in now, the growth limit has reached the twenty-second order, so this is a very advanced plane, even if you enter the rhythm of the plane war, it is generally difficult to conquer such a plane." Xu Qing shrugged his shoulders, but he couldn't see what kind of attitude he had towards the high-level plane, "And the so-called high-level plane is an enhanced version of the high-level plane, which usually refers to the powerful plane whose growth limit exceeds the twenty-fifth order, and this kind of plane has basically embarked on the road of plane war." After all, if you want to make a dimensional world a legendary plane, then the only way is to plunder the origin power of other planes through dimensional warfare. ”

"The Plane of Legends?"

"To put it simply, the growth limit of the plane is the high-level plane from the eighteenth to the twenty-fifth order, and the twenty-sixth to thirty-fifth order is the high-level plane. If you break through the 30th order, you will be on the legendary plane. Xu Qing made a simple summary, "The growth limit of the plane is not just a matter of personal strength, but a very comprehensive consideration. …… But this point, it's too cumbersome to explain, you're not a plane merchant so you can't understand it, so I don't bother to explain it. ”

Sean was dumbfounded.

"Okay, I've already told you the answers to the questions you want to know, so now, are you willing to trade with me?" Xu Qing still said with a smile, but the look on his face showed a hint of threat: Lao Tzu has wasted so much saliva to explain these plane knowledge to you, if you dare to refuse, I will not let you go.

"Sounds like nothing bad to me." Playing with the World Tree sprouts in his hand, Sean pondered for a moment, but still chose to compromise, "But I think you should know that I am a child of the plane, if you do anything to damage this plane......"

"Don't worry." Xu Qing's face showed a happy look, he stood up, patted Sean on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "We plane merchants are the most reputable, and we will never do anything that damages your plane origin, after all, this is also our food tool." …… Moreover, I can guarantee that you will not regret what you promised me, and perhaps in the near future, you will be able to reap the rewards that you will not even believe. ”

"Hopefully." Sean sighed helplessly, he realized at this moment that he actually had no choice from the beginning.

"Well, leave it at that, there's still a lot more I have to do." Xu Qing waved his hand to Sean, but before leaving, he still threw Sean a piece of metal, "Fantasy Stone, you can change shape as you wish, don't lose this thing, this is the only way you can get in touch with me." ”

"Everybody you trade with?"

"How is that possible?" Xu Qing glanced at Sean innocently, "This thing is very expensive, and only a spokesperson like you can get it." After I set up the beacon, other people in this world may be able to trade with me, but the transactions between me and them are basically a one-shot deal, not like you have after-sales service or even other connections. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Qing thought for a moment, and then said: "Actually, occasionally there are some people I admire, there is still the possibility of re-contact, and maybe they can develop into old customers." But even then, I don't usually send out fantasy stones, but use another way to communicate. …… It's very expensive anyway, so be careful not to lose it, and if someone else picks it up and reveals your identity as a child of the plane, it won't be fun. ”

"Looks like you know a lot about the Children of the Plane." Sean pursed his lips.

The son of the plane is the legal agent selected by the will of the plane, responsible for the things that the will of the plane cannot handle, and the core work content is to prevent the loss of the origin of the plane. But all the sons of the plane, because of the favor of the will of the plane, their own fortune is very strong, as a person involved in the world, it can be said that they are the type of cheating and joking, so the identities of all the sons of the plane cannot be easily exposed.

And once exposed, then this son of the plane must be transformed from a world-related person to a watchdog, and can no longer meddle in all the affairs of the plane world, and must also start training and selecting successors. And once a new person is selected, then as the old man's plane watcher, he must break away from this plane world, just as after Sean officially took over, Gibril had to leave.

Another reason why Xu Qing doesn't want Sean to become a monitor is that once Sean changes from a world traveler to a monitor, then all the agreements he has made with Sean now will be invalid, and the most important thing is that the function of the beacon will disappear.

"I've been in contact with several Sons of the Plane before, and you're not the first." Xu Qing said softly, as if it had evoked some memories of him, and his face was not very good-looking for a moment, "No matter what, our current transaction has been established, if you have anything you want to trade, just find me through the Fantasy Stone." …… I'm short on time, so I'll get busy first. ”

After that, without waiting for Sean to reply, Xu Qing's figure disappeared directly in front of Sean.

The next moment, the causal force field that enveloped the entire room completely disappeared, and Sean's perception was completely restored at this moment.

He glanced down at the World Tree sprout in his hand, and found that this seed was still carefully protected by Sean, and everything was telling Sean that the communication between him and Xu Qing just now was not a dream. Although Sean was still a little suspicious of Xu Qing's motives, after confirming that the Will of the World had not communicated with him, that is, Xu Qing had indeed not done anything that would damage the power of the world's origin, Sean decided not to pay attention to this strange plane businessman.

Sean thinks that he and him are just a normal deal, and he also believes that he will definitely never have any contact with this businessman in his life. After all, he is the son of the plane and the emperor of the Void Empire, except for not being able to unify the entire plane world, he can do whatever he wants, and as long as there is enough time, whether it is the Savage Land or the Underground Forest of Knowledge, a new world tree will eventually grow.

Time is on his side.

With that in mind, Sean turned to open the door and walked briskly towards the house where Heatley was temporarily staying.

……

On the other side, after Xu Qing left the Void Palace, he also set up a beacon for the first time to ensure that this world had been in contact with him, and he began to run non-stop.

Almost in just one night's work, Xu Qing had already traveled to many places in this plane.

But if Sean can walk with Xu Qing, then he will find that all the places Xu Qing ran through this night are all places where Andrew once appeared. It even includes the mysterious place where Sean and the Will of the World first communicated, and the former site of the Floating Island, which is now gone.

Obviously, Xu Qing is indeed chasing Andrew.

And his last place of stay is where Andrew and the others left.

Standing in this position, which was originally subordinate to the territory of the Millennium Covenant Empire, Xu Qing's face looked very serious: "This taste...... Is it the Abyssal Plane? It's really tricky, those chaotic madmen over there won't allow me to enter at will, tsk, Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng, you're really going to make trouble for me. ”

After talking to himself for a while, Xu Qingcai frowned and said in a deep voice: "You have been with me all night, is there anything else you don't worry about?" ”

A humanoid silhouette composed entirely of black mist appeared in front of him as Xu Qing's words fell.

This black fog quickly shaped itself into Sean's appearance, but unlike Sean's awe-inspiring temperament, the Sean in front of him composed of black fog had a natural indifference.

This Sean composed of black fog is the will of the world of the miracle plane. (To be continued.) )
