Chapter 173: Pumpkin House

It's a world like no other.

There is no day here, only night.

There is no moon or stars here, but instead crystal balls hanging high above the dome and various gems dotting the night, the former giving off a clear and warm glow, the latter shining brightly.

The architecture here is also quite different, with large and small castles and wooden houses sitting on the ground, which are a bit like medieval Gothic and a mixture of Byzantine style with a centralized layout.

Of all the buildings, the colorful candy houses that line the streets one after another, the pumpkin houses that glow scarlet, the round minarets shrouded in thunderclouds, and the gloomy castles that are always watered by the rain cannot be found in reality, and they are more like the mysterious scenes described in wizarding legends.

In addition, the broom tree rooted in the earth, the scarecrow isolated in the wilderness, and the graceful light and shadow floating in the swamp...... There are still too many mysterious creations in this space.

"This is the Witch Bazaar that the Apocalyptic Dream tells about?" Matthews looked at this special realm that could be called a miracle, his eyes were almost glazed, and he even lost the ability to think for a moment.

Matthews was the man who had asked Elizabeth the question.

As Aledon had guessed, Matthews had already learned a certain amount about the Witch Bazaar through some special channel before he came to the Witch Bazaar.

He originally thought that he had been mentally prepared, but he didn't expect to be shocked by what he saw.

Behind Matthews stood the last two people who rushed to the light gate, their expressions were also not much better, they all stared blankly at the things around them, and their eyes couldn't help but burst into amazement: "This is simply a miracle......"

Comparatively speaking, Elizabeth, who has already been here, seems very calm.

She just looked around as usual, and after confirming where she was, she immediately picked a direction to leave.

Elizabeth's actions caught the attention of the remaining three.

However, instead of following, they each bowed their heads and pondered, as if they were sensing something, and after a while, each of them chose a direction to leave the place.

Elizabeth noticed that the direction of the three people behind her was not consistent with her, and she secretly couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The reason why they were able to come to the Witch Bazaar was all because of a dream called the Apocalyptic Dream, and through this dream, they not only learned about the existence of the Witch Bazaar, but also knew the current entrance and trading rules of the Witch Bazaar.

The entrance to the present world refers to the gate of light, and the trading rules are very simple, to put it bluntly, there are three points: voluntary transactions between the two parties, equal exchange between the two parties, and the trading shares are within their means.

In addition to this, the limited number of products is also an important point to note.

If two people go together and fancy the same product, it will inevitably lead to disputes and even conflicts, and the reason why the other three people choose different directions must also be due to this reason.

Elizabeth took a deep breath, let go of the rest of her thoughts, relaxed her vigilance a little, and walked towards the destination of her trip without distractions—a shop that Anna had found last time that was willing to open up trading privileges.

Although this was the second time she had been to the Witch Bazaar, Elizabeth had not actually completed a transaction.

The last time she entered the Witch's Market, she happened to be traveling with Anna, and the two of them met up to explore the entire Witch's Market and discovered a huge pumpkin house.

The Pumpkin House was empty, except for a list of items hanging on the pumpkin wall, which offered most of the items were magical talents, such as potion blending talents, magic appliance making talents, etc.

I have to say that this made the two girls at that time very surprised and surprised.

Anna even said on the spot, "I really want to get the ability to control the ice and snow in the inventory" - her favorite Disney princess movie is the Frozen, and her favorite character is the princess of the same name in it.

And after saying this......

Thinking of this, Elizabeth shuddered.

She will never forget it.

After Anna said that, a pumpkin man suddenly appeared out of thin air in the pumpkin house, and his appearance was somewhat funny, and the whole looked like a mall salesman wearing a pumpkin hood.

Elizabeth did not feel any contempt for this, and Anna took a few steps back cautiously and timidly—but it was useless to retreat.

At the moment when the pumpkin man showed his form, a parchment scroll appeared at the same time, and the parchment scroll had already been imprinted with that sentence.

Suddenly, the whole pumpkin house was like a boiling kettle, and it began to jolt up and down and let out a sharp "woo-woo" scream.

Then, beams of dazzling light leaked out from the pumpkin walls, snaking and dancing through the air like a snake, and all of them merged into Anna's body.

Anna gained the ability to control the ice and snow on the spot, but before she could create a snowflake, the parchment scroll printed with mysterious things such as the moon, stars, crystal balls, etc., suddenly appeared in the air out of thin air, emitting a magnificent purple light.

And Anna began to shrink under the light of this purple light, and finally turned into a lifelike puppet the size of a palm.

Elizabeth was directly stunned.

But the pumpkin man still didn't think it was a big deal, it didn't hurry to throw the Anna doll into an unknown dimension, and then like a real gentleman, he saluted gracefully: "She, oh no, it has mastered the talent of elemental magic, but because it doesn't have enough chips, it has to make up the corresponding value for me before I can regain my freedom The trade is over, so you don't need to panic, this young lady, we can talk about the next transaction you want to make." ”

At that time, Elizabeth's whole body was stiff, although she heard the other party's words clearly, she couldn't accept what was happening in front of her, so she could only follow the truest thoughts in her heart, turn around and run back to the entrance, and walked directly through the light gate back to the present world.

And even after returning to the present world, it took Elizabeth more than an hour to calm down, and only then could she finally be calm enough to inquire about Anna's condition, and it was at this time that the news of Anna's death reached her ears in reality.

Thinking of this, Elizabeth took another deep breath and calmed the turmoil in her heart.

Anna's death is horrific and regrettable, but it doesn't stop there, as the scene before her shows, Elizabeth finally chooses to return to this mysterious space, after all, it is difficult for anyone to refuse the temptation of the transcendent - especially for someone who has been obsessed with the transcendent since childhood, even after going to college, and has founded a related society.

Elizabeth walked for more than ten minutes, and then she came to the pumpkin house again, which was the same as last time, with a "open" sign at the door.

Don't be greedy, ask in advance, and be cautious in what you say and do!

Elizabeth kept meditating in her heart, and she was mentally prepared, and finally walked in.

This time, the pumpkin man did not hide his figure, but took the initiative to appear: "I knew that we would meet again." ”

Elizabeth didn't talk casually, she thought back to the three rules set out in the apocalyptic dream, and slowly spoke: "What value do I have that I can use for trading?"

The Pumpkin Man seemed a little surprised by this, and it paused, glanced at the human girl in front of it, and then replied nonchalantly, succinctly, briefly, "Flesh, life, freedom." ”

Elizabeth fell into deep thought.

After a long time, she spoke again: "What magical talent can my flesh and blood be exchanged for without endangering my life?"

"Nope. "The pumpkin man doesn't hesitate to shatter illusions.

Elizabeth's face suddenly turned pale, and she swallowed hard: "How many lives do I have to trade?"

"All your life. The pumpkin man spoke seductively.

"Exact numbers!"

"Up to 52 years. ”

"What can I get in ten years?" said Elizabeth, in a somewhat astringent tone.

"Alchemy talent, life potion blending talent...... Of course, if you're willing to spend more—"

Elizabeth interrupted the pumpkin man's next words: "No, I want the alchemy talent. ”

As soon as the words fell, the corners of the pumpkin man's mouth immediately revealed a strange arc, Elizabeth suddenly felt bad, but she had no time to regret it, the pumpkin wall began to drill beams, the whole house began to bump up and down, everything was so familiar.

Faintly, she heard the Pumpkin Man's words of regret.

"Alchemy talents are also divided into levels, and with a life span of ten years, you can barely obtain a primary alchemy talent, but if you want a full set of alchemy talents, it is a great wizard level that includes both beginner and advanced levels and even beyond the scope of my authority. ”

"Although it is a bit reckless, since you have given me an ambiguous answer, if I don't find a hole in this ambiguous answer, then I am really sorry for my identity. ”

"Well, for the next two hundred and fifty-seven years, six months and four days, you can stay in the store well, there is a place for you to play your value, of course, if someone takes a fancy to you and buys you, you can regain your freedom by virtue of your own ability. ”

"Pray!"

Elizabeth's eyes glazed over.

She let the beam of light burrow into her body, her expression sad and regretful, and she patronized to warn herself to be cautious in her words and actions, forgetting that the biggest threat was always the pumpkin man in front of her.

Just when Elizabeth was desperate, a completely different light suddenly shone into the pumpkin house from outside the house.

The pumpkin man's expression changed dramatically.
