Chapter 420: Chapter 296: VIP Grandpa Mu (6K)
Upon discovering the approach of the Mysterious Merchant, Mu Yuan immediately sent Lu Liu to greet them while he himself took a moment, stood within the Staff of Divine Right, and quietly observed through the Lord’s View.
“I can’t discern any tricks.”
He said.
Isloa continued, “This person’s attire and dress are not in the style of the Seven Great Nations, nor do they resemble the old continental powers such as the Holy Griffon Empire or the Star Luo Holy Palace, and even when compared to the famous empires of ancient Holy Radiance and so on, still dissimilar…”
“All things considered, I also can’t make anything out.”
Isloa, the humanoid encyclopedia, embodied what it meant to be a cultured individual.
Although she had been in this era for less than half a year, she had already gained a clear understanding of the current nations, having collected and stored all the information she could gather from the network into her external brain.
Such was the power of a scholarly genius.
Mu Yuan always had the illusion that he was academically deficient in comparison.
He opened the panel.
‘A territory that possesses this special landmark has a probability of attracting a mysterious peddler who wanders among countless worlds and makes a brief stop here.’
The arrival of the Mysterious Merchant was connected to the Miracle Building ‘Guiding Landmark · Merchant.’ With that in mind, there was a 99.8% probability that the Mysterious Merchant was trustworthy.
Now that the Tianyuan Territory lay outside the alliance’s borders, isolated like a suspended isle, with poor communication and virtually no trade channels, the need for a special peddler like the Mysterious Merchant was even more pressing.
Even so,
“After all, given the mysterious background, some basic precautions must be taken.”
The Mysterious Merchant had entered from the southeastern direction of the territory, so Mu Yuan instructed Lu Liu to lead people toward the East City Forest Garden.
That was a pleasant leisure garden built within the Treeman Forest.
However, since its completion, Great Lord Shepherd had hardly visited it a few times. He didn’t have the time, and no one else even mentioned it.
Lord Mu once thought that, after settling matters on Lanxing, he could relax, lie on the lawn to bask in the sun, and have a few nuns feed him grapes, enjoying the comfortable life of a lord.
As a result,
The leisurely life of a lord. (×)
The lord hasn’t slept in days. (√)
“Most importantly, the garden is located within the forest, the absolute home court for the Treemen. War Treemen and Lord Treeman, who have been rooted here for a long time, can exert 150% or even 200% of their fighting strength.”
There were no civilians around, and in case a battle broke out, he could even allow the Staff of Divine Right to unleash Thunderous Might.
Still not quite enough.
“Dead Bone and Duo Lai are not around, so…”
He asked Uta, Rakshasa, Bone Two, Bone Three, and Bone Four to stand by in the eastern part of the city.
He then took out an artifact from the warehouse, ‘Jade Inscription · Divine General,’ which could summon a legendary being, and put it in his pocket, ready to be activated at any time.
Afterward, Lord Mu, along with Isloa and Daisy, the savvy haggler, went there together.
—Daisy, being non-combat personnel, had returned to the Territory around the time Lanxing was blending, as the company had already ceased all commercial activities. She didn’t have to wander around as Sophia did.
In an instant,
Within the tranquil garden, Mu Yuan observed the mysterious visitor.
The Mysterious Merchant observed the lord of the land.
“I am the Mysterious Merchant ‘Qiye·Astravi·Zhuxing·This·Yiyeitamuzilai…’, you may call me Qiye.”
The Mysterious Merchant’s self-introduction took a full thirty seconds.
Your name is not mysterious enough, thumbs down.
Great Lord Shepherd gave a simple introduction and quickly cut to the chase.
“What about the goods?”
“The goods are right here.”
Merchant Qiye busied himself back and forth atop a sheep-like beast of burden, and in the blink of an eye, managed to put together several goods shelves, three to four meters in height.
The shelves were arched, arrayed around the Sheep Beast of Burden.
Displayed upon them were a dazzling array of items radiating precious light, numbering in the dozens.
Mu Yuan felt like he had entered a small store, except that, unlike any ordinary shop, each item on the shelves was extraordinary.
Qiye boasted proudly, “We Mysterious Merchants come and go without a trace, only briefly pausing in a few territories or special regions, and what we sell here include numerous super rarities that are difficult to find or even unheard of in the outside world.”
“Are you vexed because you have vast wealth at your fingertips yet cannot buy suitable treasures; are you troubled because you’ve been pursuing a high-order artifact for months, even years, without success; are you still worried because your own troops lack strength, and you long for a high-order Soul Remnant but can’t get one; are you still troubled…”
“Today, the mysterious shelves are open to you, and you may take away any product here, provided that you have something of equivalent value to offer.”
Mysterious Merchant Qiye bowed slightly and stepped aside, gesturing for them to proceed.
The Sheep Beast of Burden “baa’ed” as if to say: Lord, come take a look, baa.
Mu Yuan looked over.
Among the treasures there were those he recognized and had seen before, and others he did not and had never heard of. But most of them were related to the Miracle Buildings, and as his gaze swept over them, he could identify each one, no matter how obscure or unfamiliar the items were.
As expected, most of the goods were of high quality.
But there were also some items that, while not appearing high-grade, were very rare and surprisingly special.
‘100% Blade Caught by Bare Hands (Rare)’
‘Description: A replica of a special divine weapon that ensures the blade wielded by the owner is 100% caught by the enemy’s bare hands.’
‘Note: The 100% is the base probability, which fluctuates up and down depending on the enemy’s level and the owner’s level.’
