After a pleasant chat, Chris asked, "Mr Li Wei … Are you interested in some secretive social circles?"
"Secretive gatherings?" Chung Shen-soo smiled. "I thought I could buy most of the things I need from the Flea Nest …"
"Yes, but there are always some inconvenient things that cannot be sold in the open, such as taboo knowledge, corrupted cursed items, and some secret commissions … I just entered such a circle, it's very … high-end!"
Chris sighed. "It's just that the price is too high … I saw a spiritual communication ritual that was sold for 130 pounds!"
"Time? Location? "
Chung Shen-soo asked indifferently.
"The next gathering is two days from now, at the Flea Nest, it's the most convenient place … I need someone familiar to lead the way, and I already have experience."
Chris introduced himself proudly.
'I have to say, other than his low strength, his ability to explore the circle is worthy of recognition …'
Chung Shen-soo understood the hidden meaning and smiled. "I'm asking you to bring me to that gathering, how much will it cost?"
"10 pounds, only 10 pounds!"
Chris replied quickly, staring at his shriveled wallet, unconsciously swallowing his saliva.
"Sure … I'll wait for you at the entrance of the Royal College in two days."
Chung Shen-soo waved his hand, and Old Brown stepped forward and handed over the money …
"You're such a generous gentleman!"
Chris said with gratitude and excitement.
…
Two days later.
Flea Nest.
Chung Shen-soo and Chris alighted from the carriage, changed into ordinary clothes, and entered the crowd.
"We need to use the flow of people to cover our tracks, and change our clothes to shake off any possible spies."
Chris turned into a dark alley, and handed over a mask. "That kind of secretive gathering is more dangerous than the Flea Nest. Not only is there a possibility of fakes, but sometimes the safety of the members cannot be guaranteed. Thus, hiding your identity is a good choice."
Chung Shen-soo obediently put it on, and followed Chris to a metal door.
Chris went forward and knocked on the door. First, he knocked lightly twice, then heavily thrice.
A window opened on the iron door, revealing a pair of vigilant eyes. "Who is it?"
"Nobody!"
Kerry's voice was hoarse as he slid in a business card.
"Come in!"
The eye disappeared, and the iron door was pulled open.
Chung Shen-soo and Chris entered, and after passing through a long corridor, they entered a huge room.
The floor was covered with a soft and silky woolen carpet, decorated with silver candlesticks. Under the dim light, a circle of chairs could be seen.
Some were empty, while others were already occupied.
Kerry and Chung Shen-soo went over and chose two empty seats.
After another half an hour, when most of the seats were occupied, a man wearing a black iron mask took the lead and said, "It's an honor for all of you to come to my party. I'm 'Count'. I hope everyone will follow the rules! Then, let's begin … "
His voice was calm, but it had a dignified power that made people want to follow him. It was obvious that he was a high-ranking Beyonder, and also a guarantee of fair trade.
"According to the order, it should start with me. I want to buy the mystical knowledge of the third rank — [Swordsman]. Hehe, don't tell me to go to the military. I didn't want to be restricted, so I didn't join …"
A black-robed man stood up first. He was very tall, at least two meters tall.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and a woman dressed as a witch stood up and asked, "Do you want [Knight]? It also advanced from [Warrior] … "
"No, there's no need … [Knight]'s follow-up is too difficult, where can I find another dragon?"
The big man refused without hesitation.
"In fact … most Beyonders can only stay in the first four ranks … The door to the legendary realm is not that easy to open." The witch persuaded.
"Thank you, but I don't need it." The big man was very insistent. Then, he regretfully saw that no one continued to stand up, and the transaction failed.
He regretfully sat down, and another masked man in a white robe next to him stood up gently, looked around, and said with a chuckle, "After the black fog dissipates, I am very interested in the mystical knowledge of the Eastern land, I can buy it at a high price …"
The man looked at the participants expectantly.
"I think you are fishing, could it be that you have an official background?"
Seeing this, Chung Shen-soo silently criticized.
After all, the mystical systems of the East and the West were not very compatible.
For example, he had once been judged by Perfected Jiu Ru to have no hope of ever reaching the Primal Core because he had practiced a bit of the Western mystical system and carried a polluted aura.
The cultivators of the East were very particular about purity.
And the professionals of the West did not advocate part-time jobs, thinking that it was a waste of time and energy.
Only Primordial Divinity Stage experts like him could truly begin to attempt this.
And such a big shot would obviously not participate in such a gathering.
"So … maybe they are here to fish. If there are Eastern cultivators among the participants, they may not be able to resist selling the ancient books … They can't be that stupid, right?"
Chung Shen-soo waited for a moment, but he did not see anyone stand up.
The man in the white robe regretfully sat down, and the person next to him could not wait to stand up, showing an ancient bronze eye, "I want to sell this cursed item, it is called 'Staring Eye', once it is infused with spirituality, it can give birth to three illusory eyes for surveillance … The negative effect is that after using it for a long time, one's vision will decline …"
…
One transaction after another was initiated, some were achieved, most were still failures.
Finally, it was Chung Shen-soo's turn.
He stood up and said calmly, "I am very interested in the mysteries of the order, especially those above the fifth order. I am not buying specific knowledge of a certain profession, I just hope that someone can give me a general idea. Knowledge is precious, so I am willing to pay gold pounds as a reward, depending on the degree of value."
The scope of this kind of purchase was too broad and a bit narrow, so the participants were silent for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
"Haha … I haven't seen such an interesting person for a long time."
Count chuckled a few times, "I want to participate in this transaction, do you want to go to the side to talk privately?"
"No, you can say it here, I don't mind sharing, and everyone here is a good judge and supplement."
Chung Shen-soo said generously.
Immediately, he received a lot of looks from a bunch of people looking at him as if he was a tycoon or an idiot.
"Good proposal, then, I will start … The fifth order is also called the Legendary Gate, which is strictly controlled by the major forces, and the sixth order is called 'Demigod'!"
Count stopped here and looked at Chung Shen-soo.
"I think, it is worth 50 pounds!"
Chung Shen-soo nodded, called a waiter, and took out a money bag to pour gold pounds.
The golden light reflected in Count's eyes seemed to be a little dazed.
