RoleplayNovel Chapter 1640: Bustling Market (Part )
Chapter 1640: Bustling Market (Part )
"Oh?"
Hearing the slightly mysterious voice of the stall owner in white robe, Lei Xiao glanced sideways and continued listening.
"Haha, Your Majesty, please look."
The white-robed stall owner turned over his old palm, and another small and exquisite scroll emerged, which was another new potion formula.
After checking the specific contents of the scroll, Lei Xiao couldn't help but widen his eyes. This was exactly the fifth-level permanent strength-enhancing potion formula he needed!
You know, the reason why this potion formula is extremely rare and hard to find is not because those first-rate forces deliberately control it, but because most of the natural materials and treasures needed for alchemy potions are produced in the territories of first-rate forces and are under strict protection.
Therefore, even if ordinary alchemists and second-rate forces are lucky enough to obtain this extremely rare formula, they often find it difficult to find the raw materials for alchemy, let alone the finished products. Over time, everyone will naturally not focus on this.
It is precisely for this reason that the reserves of such magic potions in the territories of second-rate forces are extremely limited.
However, for second-rate forces that own many training grounds, the demand for this type of magic potion is not that great. It is enough to train a large number of fifth-level elite combat forces. This is why second-rate forces have fifth-level legions.
"But for me, with the blessing of the golden finger talent, the situation is completely different. What I really need is not the fifth-level permanent improvement potion formula, but the upgraded sixth-level formula!"
Lei Xiao suppressed his inner joy and asked the other party calmly: "Yes, I am very satisfied. I want this."
"I knew that Your Majesty would be interested. For ordinary forces, the natural treasures they need are indeed difficult to find, but for Your Majesty, this is definitely not a difficult task."
The white-robed stall owner chuckled, handed the scroll directly to Lei Xiao's hand and said, "Since Your Majesty likes this item and has just given me so many benefits, I am willing to give this formula directly to Your Majesty!"
"Oh? Then I won't be polite."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile.
"That extremely calculative stall owner actually gave the scroll of magic formula directly to His Majesty the Human Race?"
After seeing this scene, the independent warriors who were watching the excitement nearby opened their eyes wide with a look of disbelief.
Due to the distance, they didn't know what the recipe was, but they were sure that the stall owner did put the recipe directly into Lei Xiao's hands.
Around Lei Xiao, even the powerful men who were accompanying him showed surprised looks and were unable to react for a while.
You know, this is the Miying Market. Even those independent strong men, although they seem insignificant in front of the first-rate forces, are all strong men with some fame in various places, otherwise they would not be invited to the market.
In such a place where everyone gets what they need, it is indeed surprising that the stall owner does not ask for anything in return. After all, a roll of fifth-level magic potion formula is enough to exchange for an ordinary sixth-level weapon.
After only a moment, the powerful men who were accompanying them quickly understood the reason.
Your Majesty's power is no longer what it used to be. Even though it is still not comparable to those giant first-class forces, isn't it another giant in front of these individual strongmen?
Therefore, it is not surprising that the white-robed stall owner chose to please His Majesty. He was looking for a backer for himself.
Being the focus of everyone, Lei Xiao naturally knew this as well, so he took the other party's scroll without hesitation.
The reason why he chose to book the entire stall just now, besides because he really needed it, was also to deliberately shock these independent strong men including the stall owner in white robe.
Because the purpose of his trip is not only to make friends with first-rate forces, but also to win over individual strong men.
"Through my understanding, I know that most of these independent warriors, like Jasmine, come from major first-class forces, but for various reasons they choose to fight alone."
"For these scattered strongmen, those self-righteous first-rate forces naturally disdain to win them over and let them fend for themselves. But for me, they are all rare forces."
"If I can bring all of this force under my command, it will be of great benefit to my next actions."
Lei Xiao just thought of this in his mind, and sure enough, the white-robed stall owner thought for a moment and took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, I actually have another unwelcome request."
"Your Majesty, it's okay to say so."
Lei Xiao responded with a faint smile.
"I have long heard that Your Majesty helped the third-rate forces drive away the giant dragons entrenched in Wumeng Peak, and then forcefully wiped out the lich that was causing harm to the area, and then commanded the army to help the second-rate forces get rid of the suppression and plunder of the Broken Wing King. You are so famous and have won the respect and trust of many people."
The white-robed stall owner nodded heavily at Lei Xiao and said sincerely: "I have had enough of the wandering life. Although I don't have any great talents, I also want to help Your Majesty. Please help me!"
"You don't have to be modest. Anyone who can stand in this Miying Market is a leader in this area. Now that you choose to stand with me, I naturally welcome you very much."
Lei Xiao smiled and nodded, agreeing: "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, I will not treat you unfairly."
"Great! I am willing to serve the human emperor!"
The stall owner in white robe quickly touched his chest and saluted, speaking excitedly.
Seeing the white-robed stall owner suddenly clinging to the human king's thigh, the other independent strong men who were watching the fun around him all had uncontrollable envy on their faces.
Before this, the first-rate forces looked down on them, and they looked down on the ordinary second-rate forces, and were unwilling to associate with the evil-doing Broken Wing King, so they have been wandering alone until now.
You know, the Outer Realm is such a dangerous and cruel place. For these independent warriors, losing their lives if they are not careful is a common occurrence.
Therefore, finding a suitable place to stay, where one can get shelter and make use of one's skills, is something that most people desire most.
The action of the white-robed stall owner undoubtedly made them suddenly realize that the human king's place was their best destination!
Thinking of this in their minds, many independent warriors hidden under their hoods showed a hint of urgency in their eyes, but for a moment they didn't know how to talk to Lei Xiao.
After a while, a burly warrior finally couldn't help himself, pushed through the crowd and walked up to Lei Xiao, saying firmly without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I also want to help you, please accept me!"
As soon as these words came out, other powerful warriors rushed forward and bowed to Lei Xiao, saying, "Your Majesty, we all want to serve you!"
For a moment, the originally orderly scene began to become a little chaotic. In order to stand in front of Lei Xiao and gain his recognition, many independent warriors were even pushing each other, looking like they were about to fight.
Fortunately, there were quite a few strong men and clan leaders under Lei Xiao, and they all stepped forward to maintain order, and only then were they able to barely stabilize the extremely anxious crowd.
Seeing this scene, the market guards standing by almost popped their eyes out.
My goodness, is this still the Fantasy Film Market? This is simply the human emperor's large-scale talent recruitment event.
This was an unexpected scene, even for them who were well-informed, it was the first time they had seen it!
While he was surprised, the captain of the market guard thought about it again and again, and finally chose not to step forward to stop it.
Their duty is only to maintain the order of the market and the conduct of transactions. Now, the subordinates of the human emperor have maintained the order, and those individual strong men who recommended themselves to the human emperor did not violate the rules of the market, so they naturally had no reason to take action.
"Don't worry, as long as you come with a sincere heart, I am willing to welcome you with open arms."
It was not until Lei Xiao's steady voice was heard that the scene finally calmed down.
All the powerful individual warriors present clearly understood that this honorable human king was their future ruler, so how could they not submit to him?
"Holis, Lila, take your people to communicate with these independent strongmen and agree on a specific time and place. I will meet with them one by one in person at that time."
Lei Xiao nodded to the two clan leaders who had just become subordinates and gave instructions.
"As you command, Lord."
The two men accepted the order, saluted, and immediately took action.
"This guy's popularity is really increasing."
Jasmine saw this scene, and she looked proud and nodded slightly, saying, "It seems that many new people will be here soon, and an old man like me cannot fall behind."
It is not difficult to tell from the girl's every move and gesture that she has completely regarded herself as a member of Lei Xiao's circle.
Next to Jasmine, Fei'er and Anna also looked very excited.
Anna, in particular, looked at Lei Xiao with a burning face. Her choice was indeed right. To be able to be surrounded by so many powerful people, His Majesty the Human King was indeed no ordinary person!
"Tsk, I just wanted to come to this market to stroll around, but I didn't expect to run into this!"
Just when the scene was extremely heated, a sudden cold snort sounded.
Following the sound, I saw a tall elf man looking at me coldly with disdain on his face.
There was no gold powder on the other person's face, and his skin was not too white. In addition, he was wearing a gorgeous emerald robe. It was obvious that he was a forest elf like Jasmine.
Behind him, there were two slender and tall female elves. Although neither of them was wearing weapons, they were obviously elven archers judging by their top-grade leather armor and the quivers tied to their thighs.
These three people all exuded an aura that was clearly superior to the ordinary strong men around them, and their strength had reached the demigod level. Lei Xiao could also vaguely sense that the two female elves were not ordinary strong elves, but two stone elves.
Hearing this extremely discordant voice, the many powerful individual warriors were about to glare at the other party, but when they found out that the other party was a forest elf, they all lowered their heads, looking angry but not daring to speak. This was obviously not a terrifying existence that they could afford to provoke.
"So they are from the Silver Maple Court."
Jasmine frowned tightly, obviously not liking that fellow tribesman.
She came close to Lei Xiao and whispered, "Your Majesty, the force they belong to is the same group of forest elves that attacked Jiang Xi and others!"
“So that’s who they are.”
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, without any expression on his face.
Through Jasmine's previous description, she had learned that the forest elves were divided into five kingdoms. Jasmine was in the Ancient Tree Garden, and the Silver Maple Garden was located next to the Ancient Tree Garden.
The five major forest elves have maintained extremely close ties throughout the years, with almost no disagreements. They have always stood at the top of all races as forest elves.
However, since the coronation of the new elven king of the Silver Maple Court, some changes have taken place, including the attack on the forest half-elves such as Jiang Xi who were originally dependent on them.
"I once promised Jiang Xi and the others that I would make them pay with blood. Nothing will change now, and that day is not far away."
Lei Xiao thought so and walked straight towards the other party.
When he got closer, Lei Xiao remained calm and said, "Which scene are you talking about?"
"Of course it's the scene where the little fish is looking for the little shrimp."
The tall elf man looked arrogant and said condescendingly: "This is the Shadow Market, not a place for people like you to play the surrender game!"
"The market guards haven't said anything yet, but you've already been exposed, right?"
Jasmine couldn't help but stand up and said tit for tat: "If it's such a good thing, why don't you go and be a market guard!"
"You are so brave to talk to me like this."
The handsome face of the tall elf man darkened a little. He looked at Jasmine and sneered, "You know the consequences of provoking the forest elves, don't you?"
"You are just the chief ranger of the Silver Maple Courtyard. You are not even a high-ranking elven noble. How can you be qualified to represent the entire forest elves?"
Jasmine crossed her arms and directly revealed the other party's identity. She raised her chin and said, "Don't forget that in the Elf Throne Arena of the Courtyard Festival a hundred years ago, the Ruyinfeng Court was only at the bottom!"
"How do you know these things?"
Hearing the voice, the elf man couldn't help but be stunned, and his momentum suddenly weakened a bit.
You know, in order to avoid unnecessary comparisons, the ranking of the Forest Elf Throne Arena has never been made public. Only the top leaders of the five major forest elf kingdoms know about it. Even he only heard his boss mention it by chance.
In other words, the guy in front of him wearing a pink hood is not only a forest elf, but also has a high status in the tribe. This is enough to make him restrain himself, because Jasmine is right, he is indeed not a high-level elf noble, and his status in the tribe is relatively limited.
Surprised, the elf man frowned and asked Jasmine, "Who are you?" (End of this chapter)
