At the entrance, there were more than a hundred people setting up stalls.
However, there is nothing in their stall, only a simple sentence... or two sentences...
"[Energy Secret Realm] Exclusive information, only 10 gold coins!"
"[Energy Secret Realm] Exclusive information, only 11 gold coins! Tip: He is fake, I am real!"
"[Energy Secret Realm] Exclusive information, only 12 gold coins! Tip: They are fake, I am real!"
…
The shouts kept ringing, and these stall holders had only one goal.
That is the fifth-level professionals standing here, looking at the city gate at a loss...
"Speaking of which... has the [Secret Realm of Spiritual Empowerment] become known to everyone?"
"First level, second level...the highest level is only third level. Do they know the [Secret Realm of Empowerment]?"
"Why are the prices of these pieces of shit getting higher and higher? Logically speaking, if there is competition, shouldn't they be getting lower and lower?"
…
Although they are used to seeing strong winds and waves, at this moment, these fifth-level professionals don’t know how to deal with it...
The prices are getting higher and higher every store. In just a few breaths, the price of the [Fuling Secret Realm] at the stall has risen to 100 gold coins...
He treated these fifth-level professionals as if they were pigs to be slaughtered.
This sudden change was very different from the news they received before entering.
Before entering the desert, they received information from "insiders" that the Desert Orcs and Chaos City were the strongest in the desert.
Moreover, the [Secret Realm of Endowed Spirits] is very likely to be involved with Chaos City. If you want to find the [Secret Realm of Endowed Spirits], it is recommended to go straight to Chaos City.
As for the Good House, according to the information they received, it was just a suitable place to stay and have a rest.
Don't expect to get any useful information in the House of Goodness. This is the weakest force in the desert.
It can't even be called a force, because the strength of the Good House is so weak that the "insider" revealed that when entering the desert, whether the Good House still exists is a question.
Therefore, after many fifth-level professionals entered the desert, except for some fifth-level professionals who asked the other professionals in the force to go to the House of Goodness to occupy a suitable territory for survival, they did not invest too much energy.
After all, the identity of the "insider" is very likely to be a member of the "Mage Association", "Warrior Association", "Noble Management Association" and other top associations.
The words spoken by such top power personnel all over the Eastern Continent in this remote place in the desert are more true than the words spoken by the king of the Kingdom of Shake.
Only then did many fifth-level people put down their guard and enter the desert, heading straight for Chaos City and the location of the desert orcs.
The purpose is to enter the [Secret Realm of Empowering Spirits] of nine lives and one death in the news, or ten lives and no death...
But the results in the desert were contrary to the news they got.
Chaos City has disappeared, not to mention the [Secret Realm of Empowerment], not even a single brick is left.
The same is true for the orcs. In addition to leaving traces of survival, the orc army suddenly disappeared into the desert.
In this vast desert, searching without a destination and trying to find the orcs who are hiding on purpose is a fantasy.
I came to the "House of Goodness" with a feeling of disappointment and no expectations.
But here, the [Secret Realm of Empowerment] seemed to be a piece of bad news, re-picking up their shattered "expectations"...
From the first level to the fourth level guards guarding the city gate, they will mysteriously say to people entering the city: "Hey, friends, do you want news about the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm]? It's cheap. Trust me, I am a fourth level guard." , I won’t lie, I guarantee it if it’s true!”
Not long after, some fourth-level professionals who came here in advance saw the ancestor of their family's power at the city gate.
He walked a few steps quickly, with a troubled look on his face, and came to the side of the fifth-level professional.
"Ancestor..."
"Tell me what you found out."
"this…"
"No need to be secretive, we are all like-minded people, just say it."
Looking around, the fourth-level professional saw that all the fifth-level professionals around him looked like they were listening, with their ears perked up and their heads tilted slightly in his direction.
After pausing for a moment, he slowly said: "I purchased three pieces of information about the [Secret Realm of Empowering Spirits], and I also asked two people for information about the [Secret Realm of Empowering Spirits]."
"There are some discrepancies in some details, but these messages have one thing in common. [The Secret Realm of Empowerment] does exist, but not everyone can enter. One year later, the [Secret Realm of Empowerment] will be opened here for selection."
"In the end...only one person can pass the selection...to enter the [Secret Realm of Empowerment]..."
In an instant, the atmosphere in the field became tense. One year into the competition, any fifth-level professional could be his competitor.
And the powerful ancestor who reassured this fourth-level professional also felt regretful. If he had known this, he would never have let the fourth-level professional speak.
Maybe he didn't notice anything was wrong in the atmosphere, the fourth-level professional continued to talk about the news he had obtained about the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm]...
"I have received accurate information. There is not much danger in the [Secret Realm of Spiritual Empowerment]. Even the orcs, two people have successfully empowered themselves in the secret realm."
"In addition, there is also a secret message, saying that the Lord of the Good House may be involved with the mysterious existence that controls the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm]!"
"What?! [Secret Realm of Empowerment] is controlled by someone?!"
"Is this news true??"
"How strong is the Lord of the Good House?"
The shock caused by the fourth-level professional's words was no less than what he said before about the competition in the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm] one year later.
Being able to control the existence of the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm] is equivalent to controlling their biggest life gate in the desert. Especially for some professionals whose lifespan is approaching, controlling the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm] is equivalent to controlling them. life and death.
Unfortunately, Ankai's control was different from what they imagined.
What they think is that An Kai can control the candidates who enter and the opening of the secret realm.
In fact, the secret realm is always open, and you only need to meet the requirements to enter. Unfortunately, the method of entering is hidden by An Kai.
This is what is called "control"...
There were many pressing questions, and the fifth-level professional couldn't control his mentality, and he pressed hard on the fourth-level professional.
At this moment, he felt like a lone boat floating in the turbulent ocean.
"Okay, whether it's true or not, you'll understand once you meet the city lord!"
"Okay! Agreed!"
"How strong is the city lord? How heavy is the fifth level?"
"Did he gain spirit?"
Hearing these questions, the fourth-level professional recalled the chief and deputy city lord of the arrogant and kind house he had met before...
"level one…"
As soon as the fourth-level professional spoke his words, many fifth-level professionals seemed to be in disbelief.
Someone subconsciously said: "The people guarding the city gate are all fourth-level people, but the city lord is first-level?!"
"Did you see clearly?!"
"First level city lord?!"
Ahem...
The fourth-level professional coughed lightly: "Well... adults, allow me to make a small correction. Not only is the city lord at the first level, but the five deputy city lords are also at the first level..."
There was silence again.
These fifth-level professionals, who were used to seeing strong winds and waves, stood outside the city of Liangshan's House, looking at the city in front of them with an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
Every discovery made by the Liangshan Family can shock them and they don't know how to answer.
After saying this, the fourth-level professionals looked at the shocked fifth-level professionals.
I felt indescribably comfortable.
He had the same expression when he just learned the news.
At this time, when he saw the fifth-level professional with the same expression, his mood was relieved...
At least the fourth-level professional is sure of one thing. It's not that he has no knowledge, but that he is kind.
Home is too... novel.
"Lead the way, City Lord's Mansion!"
Hearing that his ancestor gave a soft drink, the fourth-level professional quickly led the way towards the House of Goodness...
Passing through the stall channel with loud shouts and arriving at the city gate, the fifth-level professionals pretended to be ordinary second- and third-level professionals. After registration, they were about to enter the House of Goodness.
As soon as he crossed the entrance to the city, he heard a soft sound in his ears:
"Level 5!"
"Welcome to the House of Goodness!"
The leader of the fifth-level professional was stunned...
"Ancestor... This is unique to the House of Goodness. It is called a detector. It can detect everyone's strength..."
The fourth-level professional who led the way took a step forward and came to the ancestor's side, accompanied by a soft sound:
"Level 4!"
"Please follow the rules of a good house!"
The strength shown between him and the fifth-level ancestor is different, and even the prompts behind the strength are different.
The fifth level is a flattering welcome, and the fourth level is a reminder with a hint of warning.
Even this fourth-level professional has seen the first-level city entry language...
"Be careful, don't die!"
It can be seen that the Good House had already treated them differently when they entered the city.
These welcome words were also made by the detector merchant An Daoen based on An Kai’s wishes...
The fifth level entered the city one after another, their eyes flickering, and their expressions showed interest in the "detector". Not surprisingly, they will be potential customers of the detector merchant Andaun...
The fourth-level guards guarding the city gate looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other's eyes...
These fifth-level people are the "fat sheep" in the news from the adults in the city!
A great wretch who is willing to pay for the [Secret Realm of Spiritual Empowerment].
Bright.
Their eyes lit up.
The new fifth-level professionals who have entered the city do not know that they have become "fat sheep" in the eyes of others...
At this time, they were admiring the orderly, clean and tidy streets.
Regardless of the strength of the Good House or the residents, the clean and tidy streets alone are rare in the Seven Kingdoms.
In addition, the fourth-level professional who led the way added: "Littering is included in the death penalty of the Good House."
This bizarre death penalty provision stunned them even more.
However, this kind of rule that regards human life as nothing corresponds to the desert people in their impression.
Walk along and observe along the way.
The fifth-level professionals discovered that the residents here were different from the residents of their seven countries.
At the very least, no residents in the Seven Kingdoms would dare to openly use tools to detect their strength!
If someone hadn't stopped them, these damn desert people would have wanted to shove the detector into their faces!
Especially after the residents of the Good House detected that they were level five, their expressions became even more excited.
Someone spoke loudly and shouted something: "Hi! Are you here to find the [Secret Realm of Empowerment]?"
"I can help you. My fee is very low, only 20 gold coins!"
"Don't listen to him, he knows nothing about the [Secret Realm of Empowering Spirits]. My neighbor's second uncle's father's grandson and his boss's boss have seen the [Secret Realm of Empowering Spirits] with his own eyes. Trust me, I will definitely be able to help you. I Only 30 gold coins are needed!"
In an instant, the fifth-level professionals felt that they were not fifth-level experts.
But the "fat sheep" in the eyes of these ants...
The so-called [Secret Realm of Soul Empowerment], somehow, after such an experience, seems to have become worthless roadside sand.
Anyone with any ability can say a few words...
The mystery unique to the [Energy Secret Realm] disappeared.
If it weren't for these fifth-level professionals, who were worried about the mysterious strong man who controls the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm], they would have taken action long ago and slapped to death those ants who wanted to slaughter them as "fat sheep"...
These fifth-level professionals did not realize that since they entered the desert, the "ferocious nature", "malignant nature" and "evil nature" in their hearts were gradually being released.
The hostility in their hearts is increasing sharply every day, which is changing their behavior as a person.
Especially some fifth-level professionals whose life span is approaching, their hearts are getting more and more angry, thinking that in a year's time these fifth-level professionals around them will be his competitors.
I can’t wait to take action now and severely injure or kill these “competitors”…
In the past, this hostility would not have been so great.
All the way, depressed all the way.
The fifth-level professionals with their own thoughts came to the City Lord's Mansion, which is the castle located behind the inner city!
Everyone just arrived and didn't wait for a break.
Then I saw a first-level professional with a slim build and an arrogant expression on his face walking out surrounded by six fourth-level professionals.
After taking a look at the fifth-level professionals who came here, Reed's expression remained unchanged as he was surrounded by people. As if he didn't know he was facing a fifth-level professional, he said coldly: "Fill out the form."
After the words fell, Polpi came from behind holding a bundle of forms.
He skillfully took out a table from the storage ring and placed it in front of many fifth-level people: "Line up and come one by one. Fill in your strength, power, where you come from, who your name is, and how many resources you have."
Polpi put down the table, saw the indifferent fifth-level professional, and shouted impatiently: "You can't even queue up? All these years of training have turned into an orc?!"
In an instant, the venue fell silent.
The fifth-level professional looked at Polpi in front of him in disbelief...
They frowned, and some of them with a bad temper took one step forward, grabbed Polpi's neck, and lifted him up...
"Can you say that again!"
Polpi's neck was strangled, but he didn't panic at all. He even intensified his threats and said, "You don't want to enter the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm], do you?! Okay! Just wait!"
"You dare to humiliate me like this today. If I let you enter the [Secret Realm of Empowerment], I, Polpi, will be your dog from now on!"
The fifth-level professional who pinched Polpi was stunned. Polpi seemed to be in a state of great confidence, which made him confused for a moment whether it was true or not.
"If you want to participate in the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm] selection, you must follow our rules. If you rely on your own strength and act recklessly..."
"Hmph! Level 5...it's not like we, the Good Family, haven't killed anyone before!"
When Polpi's life and death was in crisis, Reed looked calm, looked at the more than 20 fifth-level professionals, and arrogantly said these two threatening words!
Reed's arrogant state, coupled with Polpi's arrogant state, made these fifth-level people confused for a moment.
What kind of confidence do they have that allows them to threaten the fifth-level professionals without any scruples even though they are only at the first level of strength...
Is it possible that the person behind them is really the controller of the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm]?
Have you really killed a fifth-level professional?
At this moment, three of Reed's four warriors suddenly appeared.
The three of them worked together to hold a wooden board more than ten meters long. At the top of the wooden board was a long-dead orc corpse...
"Fifth-level orc, who does not abide by the selection rules of the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm], beheaded!"
The three warriors acted as if no one was around. They inserted the wooden board in front of the table where the form was placed, and placed it in front of more than twenty fifth-level professionals.
The threat is implicit.
The fifth-level professionals from the seven countries each used their own senses to sense the strength of the orcs on the top of the board...
Although he is completely dead, he can still sense the breath that belongs to the fifth level.
At this moment, the fifth-level professionals from the seven countries were suppressed.
The fifth-level professional who grabbed Polpi's neck put Polpi down...
Frowning, he returned to the team.
Polpi resigned as soon as he saw the opportunity, and instead of taking advantage of this opportunity, he continued to shout something: "I want to disqualify you from the selection of [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm] or something like that."
Escape from death is already a great luck.
Polpi understood that now he was pulling the tiger's skin to pull the flag, and every step he took was walking on a tightrope.
If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces.
Seeing that many fifth-level professionals were suppressed by his and Reed's operations, Polpi took out the form and softened his tone:
"Sigh... We are also working for you, asking all the fifth-level experts to fill in the form, so that everyone can enter the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm] earlier."
"[Secret Realm of Empowerment] Once a year, how many people squeeze their heads to get in, but there is no chance."
"If my lord hadn't taken action and snatched it from the orcs, all of you would still be racking your brains and looking for opportunities for your own soul-giving."
"As your Excellency said, what he did was for the prosperity of the human race. Foreign races occupy our homeland, how can we allow them to continue to run wild!"
"My lord, I hope that after you successfully infuse spirits, you can help us humans drive away the alien races and regain our place of survival!"
"In order for all of you to be able to successfully advance to the Spiritual Endowment, you have closed the barrier of life and death long after you obtained the [Spiritual Endowment Secret Realm], and will not leave until you completely control the [Spiritual Endowment Secret Realm]!"
"My lord, I am doing all this not for fame or profit. I just hope that all of you will be able to successfully infuse spirits. I hope that our human race... will no longer be oppressed by alien races!"
Polpi's words were sincere, and he had lived in the desert for a long time, and he had developed the ability to lie without blinking an eye.
There are more than 20 fifth-level professionals working here. Look at me and I’ll look at you.
Even some emotional fifth-level professionals felt ashamed because of this, as if they were impressed by the noble character of the "sir" that Polpi described...
Under Polpi's encouraging eyes, they took the form from Polpi's hand and filled it out...
Some people took the lead, and others followed. One after another, the fifth-level professionals chose to fill in the form in accordance with Polpi's requirements.
Reed, who had been watching this scene, breathed a sigh of relief.
In the field, only he and Polpi knew the truth.
In order not to be exposed, even the three soldiers around him did not tell the true situation.
The three soldiers who made the mission believed that this was what An Kai meant.
And Ankai did not disappear and kept watching them.
Otherwise, how could they resist the plank with the fifth-level orcs tied to it with such arrogance.
Looking at the fifth-level professional who was filling out the form, Reid knew that the most difficult step had been taken.
An Kai just left the news that the [Fuling Secret Realm] would appear a year later, and then disappeared.
Reed and Polpi will do the rest...
The two finally worked together and designed today's scene.
The power of the fox and the tiger was used to the extreme.
The two of them thought very clearly that with their first-level strength, it would definitely be difficult for them to show their strength when faced with the attack of fifth-level professionals.
Simply walk to the dark side.
Decorate the Good House to look like it is protected by the people behind the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm].
And the two of them pretend to be the powerful spokesmen behind the scenes of the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm].
The effect is very good.
From the moment the fifth-level professionals and their subordinates entered the city, they conveyed an attitude to the fifth-level professionals:
"Don't take your fifth level seriously. It's worthless in a good house."
From the attitude of the residents in the city towards the fifth level, to the nonchalant attitude of the guys at the stalls at the city gate towards the [Secret Realm of Empowerment].
He has been emphasizing one thing to these fifth-level professionals entering the city: "Fifth-level is worthless. The Good House does not care about fifth-level."
It is this indifferent attitude of the residents of the Good House, combined with the confident attitude of Reed and Polpi, that has taught these fifth-level professionals the first lesson...
These fifth-level professionals think that behind Reed and Polpi are really the controllers of the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm].
Coupled with Polpi's impromptu words, a strong human being who silently worked for the human race suddenly appeared.
Without the words of Polpiga, the person behind the [Secret Realm of Empowerment] would just be a domineering figure.
With these words from Polpi, the person behind the [Energy Secret Realm], in addition to being domineering, has also added a "fearless" image...
The fifth-level professionals filled out the forms one after another, which made the fourth-level professionals who led the way also be stunned.
He never expected that more than 20 fifth-level professionals would actually surrender to two first-level professionals? !
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like he was pressed into the first lottery form by two first-level professionals before...
…
After filling out the form, many fifth-level professionals left.
They chose to settle in Good House.
Some people were moved by Polpi's words, while others had other ideas in mind.
But at this moment, they recognized the identities of Reed and Polpi.
This is the first day of entering the House of Goodness, and also the first day of finding out the news about the [Secret Realm of Empowerment].
Although compared with the information they got when they came, the discrepancy is a bit big.
But for them, being able to enter the [Secret Realm of Empowerment] is the most important thing.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s the first level or the second level.
They don't care, now they just need to wait for a year.
By then, whether it is true or false, we will have a conclusion.
Of course, they will not be idle for a year.
There will not be just one test for Reed and Polpi.
He will not stop searching for the existence of the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm].
Once they find out that Reed and Polpi are fake, or find the real existence of [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm], their anger will be doubled.
The fifth level cannot be insulted!
night.
Where An Kai retreats, the fifth-level [Assassin] Malcolm told An Kai word for word what he saw and heard at the entrance of the castle today.
After finishing speaking, An Kai was thoughtful, while Malcolm seemed to have something to say...
"If you fart, let it go. If you have something to say, say it."
An Kai raised his head and glanced at Malcolm, scolding him softly.
Malcolm sneered and treated An Kai's words as if he didn't hear them. He pondered for a few seconds, brewed his words, and then spoke slowly:
"I basically know everyone who's coming."
"With their temperament, they are not so...so stupid..."
"them…"
What else did Malcolm want to say, those fifth-level people who didn't believe what Reed said were analyzed.
An Kai waved his hand impatiently.
When he looked at Malcolm, he felt like he was looking at Nurnasius...
Or maybe it's the way His Highness Wayne looks at him sometimes...
Seems like he's being stupid?
Seeing that Malcolm was puzzled, Ankai happened to express his feelings because of Polpi's words of praise for him.
When he was happy, he explained to Malcolm:
"Milken, you have to remember, it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not."
"What matters is whether the [Secret Realm of Spiritual Empowerment] will appear as it is after one year."
"If it appears, they will believe it. If it doesn't appear... haha."
Seeing Malcolm, he was still a little confused. Just when he was about to say something about Reed and Polpi, two first-level people, how could they fool the fifth-level people, Ankai continued:
"It doesn't matter what Reed and Polpi said. They filled out the form according to Reed and Polpi's wishes, and it wasn't because of them."
"It's because of me, the fearless and powerful man who didn't show up and studied the [Spiritual Empowerment Secret Realm] for the future of the human race, that they chose to abide by the rules!"
"Don't think they are too smart, and don't think they are too stupid. All we have to do is see if my [Energy Secret Realm] will appear in one year."
After explaining a few words, Ankai waved his hand and motioned for Malcolm to leave...
Sometimes, he felt that Malcolm was quite smart, and sometimes he felt that Malcolm was stupid as hell.
It’s still level five!
As everyone knows, the reason why Malcolm couldn't accept it was because those fifth-level experts were all experts of the same status as him before.
At this moment, seeing so many strong men of the same status being fooled around by two first-order ants, Reed and Polpi, I couldn't tell how I felt.
It was as if he had been fooled around by Reed and Polpi...
Thinking of this, Malcolm was stunned.
He suddenly remembered something.
An Kai ordered the fifth-level orc corpse to be sold to Reed and Polpi, but when he went to sell it, he took the initiative to help Reed and Polpi buy it...
"Bullshit! Set a trap for me?!"
…
The next day.
Little seems to have changed at Good House.
Since the last caravan arrived, the situation of not having enough to eat has disappeared.
In addition, most of the refugees from the Seven Kingdoms and the residents of the inner city of Chaos City are above level two, so they can hunt to meet their daily needs.
You can even sell the excess.
Not everyone is like An Kai, who has an astonishing appetite and even needs an enhanced [Beast Meat Refining Station] to be full.
Today, nearly a hundred new shops suddenly opened in Liangshan Home City.
Food, drink, toiletries, clothing, housing and transportation are all provided.
These shops are opened by fifth-level professionals from the seven countries.
After all, most of them come together from their families or entire forces, so resting on their laurels is not a good idea.
Reed and Polpi also played some roles in this.
The locations selected for these new shops are all good.
What's more, when it comes to tax issues, you only need to pay it once a year or two years.
Compared with other shops in the city that pay taxes once a month, they already have a big advantage.
Enjoy the privileges that a fifth-level professional should have.
The reason why they choose to collect once a year or two years is not that Reed and Polpi do not want to collect once a month, but that their strength does not allow them to collect once a month...
All of this will require An Kai to show up a year later before he can make other plans.
For the time being, Liangshan's family has stabilized.
Even the sudden influx of fifth-level professionals in large numbers did not have any impact.
And their participation will also drive the consumption of city residents.
It is also a favorable development for the taxation of good homes.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that the [Secret Realm of Empowerment] will appear on time one year later.
As well as fifth-level professionals whose lifespan is approaching, they can obtain satisfactory results after one year.
Otherwise, what may seem like romance is actually just turmoil.
Time passed bit by bit.
An Kai also seizes the time to meditate. Except for his daily rest time, he spends most of his time resting with the [Meditation Rod] in hand.
And the middle-grade magic stone that Hanks once promised has finally taken shape.
He said that in one month, he would be able to get the middle-grade magic stone.
For the sake of Widow Wang, Ankai promised Hanks that if he couldn't get the middle-grade magic stone in a month, he would leave a whole body for Hanks.
In addition to the little thing about Hanks, there is another thing that makes An Kai very happy.
His Highness Wayne of the Kingdom of Shaq, the [Swift Technique] he researched finally came to fruition.
"Teacher, please review."
Holding a scroll with a confident look on his face, Wayne handed over his results with the help of the dim light of the flame in Ankai's castle underneath the House of Goodness.
[Swift Lv0 Scroll "Analysis Version"]
[Requirements for use: Intelligence 23, endurance 60, physical strength 60, strength 31, no level limit. 】
"good!"
An Kai was about to return to the retreat room to upgrade the [Swift Technique].
But I saw a sudden flash of light on Wayne's body, as if there was the sound of turning a book...
Then Wayne grinned and chuckled: "Teacher, I have become a [scholar]..."
An Kai smiled. He thought of the current shortcomings he had discovered in the past month:
"Wayne, can you research the second-level spell [Contract]?"
Wayne thought for a few seconds.
"Teacher, give me 10 months!"
…
11 months later.
…
