There were already quite a number of people in the lobby of the apartment.
Or rather, a large number of mystics and mysticism enthusiasts.
Most of them covered their bodies and wore masks, like gentlemen and ladies attending a masquerade.
The masked Fang Xian blended into the crowd without any sense of discomfort.
He picked up a glass of red wine and casually approached a chatting salon.
"Those damned, disgusting ghouls … They really messed up the market here, causing me to have a large stockpile of Moonlight Tinctures in my hands. I can now sell them at the original price …"
The person who spoke was fat, probably a black market merchant. He looked at the mysterious people expectantly.
Unfortunately, no one responded.
"I wonder why those disgusting fellows who deserve to go to hell came to this city. What's going on with the kingdom's Special Division? Is there nothing you can do about it? "
Another masked man was equally dissatisfied. "They only know how to search for unregistered Beyonders on the streets, causing a few of my friends to be imprisoned. I have to find a lawyer to bail them out. That's another huge expense."
"Gentlemen, I do have a piece of information that I can give to you for free."
At this moment, a lady wearing a red mask chuckled and said.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding mystics.
After all, most of them had sharp hearing.
"Ma 'am, please speak …"
A golden-masked man approached and couldn't help but say, "As the host of this gathering, if your information is valuable, I'm willing to pay a corresponding reward. Knowledge must be rewarded. This is the maxim of the Tower of Wisdom."
"Thank you for your generosity, sir."
The lady in the red mask lifted her skirt and bowed. She then looked around and said in a deep voice, "A large number of ghouls have appeared and are committing crimes in a frenzy. This reminds me of a ritual."
"A ritual?" someone muttered in puzzlement.
"Yes, it's normal that you don't know about it. This is something that happened in the Narnias Empire recently. A group of enforcers attacked a secret society that worships ghouls and seized a batch of books. Among them, there is a description of this ritual … It's a preparation for the birth of the King of Ghouls. At the beginning of the ritual, a large number of ghouls need to be transformed, and a 'hunting area' needs to be selected. Then, they will begin to 'hunt' on a large scale. When the humans can no longer satisfy them, the ghouls will begin to 'eat each other' and 'eat themselves'. The last one to survive will be the King of Ghouls! The name of the ceremony is — 'The Feast of the King', "the lady said in one breath.
"Hiss …"
"King? Is it a ceremony to open the Golden Gate? "
The mysterious people around them were shocked and felt a little uneasy. "Maybe we should leave this area immediately, the further the better?"
"Actually, I don't think there's any need to worry. Judging from the scope, this ritual is a lot simpler. It's probably just used to open the Silver Door … Also … We don't know about the secret information, but the officials probably already knew about it. There are powerhouses waiting for the mastermind to appear."
The lady comforted her at last.
"Thank you, ma 'am, but this doesn't give me any comfort. I'm going to move immediately."
A man got up and quickly left the venue.
A few masked people also couldn't sit still and got up to leave.
The local master of the golden mask looked at this scene and seemed to be a little silent. Then he looked at the lady and said, "The information you gave is very valuable. I will give you a corresponding reward."
Fang Xian stood at the side and felt that her master was probably very depressed.
After all, a good gathering suddenly lost a few participants, and they were all potential guests!
"And … this voice, it's a little familiar.
"Woman … from the Narnias Empire … and a mysterious person …
"It can't be so coincidental, right?"
Fang Xian carefully looked at the woman in the red mask and found that she was indeed somewhat similar to Yi Rui, who he had met on the train that day and was haunted by nightmares.
His intuition told him that this was Yi Rui herself!
"With this personality, it's no wonder that she always runs into misfortune in mysticism …"
Fang Xian shook his head and looked at the local master. The man in the golden mask began to host the party.
Generally speaking, it was similar to the other gatherings he had experienced. The participants took turns to go forward and report what they needed or sell something.
Most of the time, they often couldn't find what they wanted.
After all, this world was too big, and there were still too few mysterious people. Moreover, due to wariness and the lack of a powerful notary, they often couldn't open their hearts and communicate.
At this time, the importance of Dream Land could be seen.
"The transaction rate here is much lower than Dream Land …"
When it was Fang Xian's turn, he directly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "I need a set of identification, the kind that can pass the sheriff's inspection. In addition, I also need a mystical item or spell that can change one's appearance. As for the reward, it can be gold or other equivalent mysticism knowledge!"
As soon as these two requests were spoken, Fang Xian immediately felt that everyone's gazes on him changed slightly.
After all, a fake identity and a fake face were something that only mysterious people who had done bad things and changed their appearance to escape would need to prepare.
In their minds, he was probably a criminal among the mysterious people.
However, it didn't matter to Fang Xian. After all, no one knew his identity.
Even to Jax, he had only used an alias. At a time when the ghoul case was more important, Jax probably wouldn't pursue him relentlessly.
And even if Jax pursued him relentlessly and even found out Daniel Roland's identity, so what?
Would the special division care about a little guy who ran away from a noble family?
Daniel's criminal record was very clean.
"And I didn't use Jax's name when I came to this party …
"As long as I get a fake identity, I can theoretically become someone else."
In the silence, the master of the golden mask smiled. "A reasonable identity, I can do it. The price is 100 gold. As for mystical items and abilities that can change one's appearance, I don't have them here … Those precious items will be snapped up as soon as they appear, and there's almost no stock left."
The mysterious people around him nodded slightly, as if they agreed with this statement.
"Deal!"
Fang Xian nodded.
He still had some gold on him, but it was all Andre's generosity in compensating Daniel.
Especially after knowing that Daniel had bought horses and hunting equipment out of his own pocket, Andre, who had received a large sum of money, seemed eager to use money to prove his ability and the love that he lacked.
"Then … you can follow my servant to the backyard to trade, but first, we need to conduct a test of the Bloodthirsty Tincture!"
The master of the golden mask said seriously, "I don't want to be an accomplice to those disgusting things."
"It's a very reasonable request. I agree."
Fang Xian agreed immediately. He was indeed not afraid of such a test.
