The Death List Novel - Chapter 245
Chapter 245 Half-plane Exchange Plaza
Qin Lun quietly looked at the huge building in front of him. This building was located in the north side of the center of the Corner of the Devil, and it looked like a bell tower. The fan-shaped arch below faced the street. Above the arch was a miniature white-jade stone pillar corridor, somewhat of the religious style of a Gothic church.
Inside the corridor stood a few scaled-down statues of creatures. There were great Abyss Devils with wings on their backs, Western flying dragons, dignified human knights, and elven archers with bows on their backs and hooded cloaks. Above the jade colonnade was an irregular cloud. However, there was a blurry scene of strong winds, lightning, and rainstorms inside the cloud, as if a huge storm was brewing.
This enormous clock tower was the headquarters of the Chaos Alliance in the Corner of the Abyss. Standing at its door were two steel statues three meters tall. These steel statues possessed a certain amount of artificial intelligence. Although their pace was slow, their defenses were very strong. If the two of them blocked the entrance to the headquarters together, even high-ranking apostles would not be able to charge in for a moment.
Looking inside the clock tower building from the door, one could see the spacious hall inside. There were several windows on both sides of the hall, and behind them was a stone staircase leading to the upper floor of the building.
However, Qin Lun’s attention was focused on an orange-yellow portal in the middle of the hall. This oval portal was one of the portals leading to the Chaos Alliance Plane trading field.
Two days ago, Qin Lun had gathered all the murderers except Fireworks Rand to the villa and sold them the news of the city war. After obtaining this information, the other three murderers made different choices.
Shepherd Hill said regretfully that he would not participate in the city war. It wasn’t that he didn’t have enough time to change his profession. Instead, he was a prayer priest at the early stage of his profession. His offensive power was too weak, and most of his gain skills were aimed at the guild. He consumed a lot of mana points, so he wasn’t suitable to participate in the city war.
Disciple Hansen firmly stated that he would definitely participate in the city war, and paid Qin Lun 10,000 pieces of information fees. However, he didn’t need an invitation letter from the Fairy Clan, he just said that he would find a way to obtain an invitation letter from a foreign card.
Hansen has now completed his inaugural mission to become a Viking Warrior. He intended to use the opportunity of the wild card invitation letter to familiarize himself with this combat profession during the selection. Virgin warriors were all-weapon warriors. In order to display the full capabilities of Viking warriors, disciples had to constantly fight and master various offensive and defensive equipment.
In the end, Grant took away the invitation letter from the Fairy Race. Apart from the information fee of 10,000 broken crystals, the clown promised that if he survived, he would return 500 urban points to the Fairy Race, which would cancel out Qin Lun’s 50,000 broken crystals debt.
It wasn’t that Grant couldn’t bring out fifty thousand broken crystals right now, but that he wanted to participate in the city war, so he had to be fully prepared. Ten thousand pieces of broken crystals isn’t a big deal, adding another fifty thousand pieces of broken crystals to the invitation letter would be a bit damaging. Of course, I have to owe it to you first.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of getting a wild card, but he was different from Hansen. Disciple was a mercenary killer, he had accumulated a lot of points in the city mercenary, and the Viking Warrior profession required combat experience.
Grant’s current combat profession was biased towards MT, known as a colonist. He could use his own parasitic virus to form an exoskeleton. He had fought many battles, and his physical strength had recovered very slowly. Before the battle, the fewer battles one had, the better their condition would be.
As long as he owed it, he would owe it. Qin Lun was also very satisfied to receive a total of 20,000 pieces of broken crystal information fees. Moreover, he didn’t think that the clown would die in a hegemonic battle. His mask skill was too abnormal and didn’t consume any mana. In a way, the clown’s ability was more suited to this kind of urban warfare than his.
After looking at the entrance of the headquarters of the Chaos Alliance for a while, Qin Lun stepped inside.
“This is the headquarters of the Chaos Alliance. Please show me your identity card!” When he reached the door, he was blocked by one of the steel statues. The statue extended its thick steel arm towards him, with a small groove in its forearm that allowed the apostles to insert their identity tokens into it.
Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. He was not an apostle of the Chaos Alliance, and there was no record of his identity card number in the Alliance. However, before coming here, he had already asked Berylseth how to enter the Chaos Alliance.
Qin Lun took out an invitation letter from the Abyss Devils with the scorching plains engraved on it and handed it to the steel statue. The Iron Demon’s eyes flickered with soul flames. A scarlet red light swept across the invitation like a scanner. Then, it bowed respectfully and returned to its original position.
“What a good puppet!” Qin Lun’s eyes were filled with admiration. Of course, he wasn’t praising the steel statue, but the person who made it.
The Three Ambassadors and Disciples Alliance at the Horn of the Devil was about the same size. There were more than 2,000 professional apostles under the Chaos Alliance, and there were hundreds of teams of all sizes. Although the alliance’s structure was relatively loose and the binding force on its members was very low, such a large stall naturally had a lot of trivial matters to attend to.
At this moment, the hall was bustling with people.
After Qin Lun entered the hall, he headed straight for the half-plane portal. Anyone who could enter the headquarters of the Chaos Alliance would naturally be able to enter the half-plane trading field, but no one would stop Qin Lun.
The half-plane portal was about five meters tall and 2.56 meters wide. Regardless of the size of the race apostles, such a large portal was basically enough. As soon as he stepped into the portal, the scenery in front of Qin Lun changed. A huge square appeared in front of him.
The Half Plane Exchange Square of the Chaos Alliance was circular in shape, covered in an orange-yellow barrier. The plaza was surrounded by circles of low-rise shops. There were three floors inside and outside of the plaza, forming three circles of shops.
Most of these shops were made of wood and stone. Their shapes were low, and they were only three floors tallest. The eaves and arches were completely different from the architectural style of the Devil’s Horn, but they had the ancient charm of Chinese architecture. On the eaves of most shops, there were some unique wooden signboards. One could tell the type of shops at a glance.
For example, the wooden signboards of some shops were engraved with armor patterns, making it clear that this was a shop selling armor. A shop with a long sword carved on it must be a weapon shop. A shop with bows, arrows, and guns carved on it would naturally be selling long-range offensive weapons … This was very simple and clear.
Most of the shop assistants in the shop were enchanting charming demons and Rakshasa ladies, with professional smiles on their faces, causing people to have a good impression of each other at first sight.
Qin Lun curiously approached a weapon shop. The charming demon in the shop immediately came forward with a smile and asked through the counter, “Sir Apostle, what kind of weapon do you need?”
“What kind of weapons do you have?” Qin Lun asked with interest.
Demon Charm was slightly stunned. Professional apostles were different from ordinary apostles. The apostles who came to the shop usually had a clear purpose. He had a rough idea of the weapons he needed and would not buy them blindly. Few professional apostles would question him like Qin Lun.
However, most of the charming demons employed by the half-plane trading field had received strict training. No matter how doubtful they were, they would not directly ask. The charming demon turned around and took out a picture book from the backstage and placed it in front of Qin Lun.
“Dear Sir, the goods in our shop are basically included in this atlas. You can take a look first!” ‘”If you are in a hurry, please give me some general information and I will choose the right goods for you.” The Demon Demon said respectfully, “If you are in a hurry, please give me some general information and I will choose the right goods for you.”
Qin Lun nodded noncommittally and opened the atlas. After flipping through it for a while, he pointed to a sword weapon in the atlas and asked, “The introduction to the atlas is too general. Can I see this sword in detail?”
“Of course. Please wait a moment!” Succubus turned around and entered the backstage of the shop. Soon, he took out a sword sheath. Inside was the purple longsword that Qin Lun had named to buy.
Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. Just as he was about to retrieve the sword, the Demon Demon immediately reached out to stop him. In his surprised eyes, he smiled and gave Qin Lun a pair of monocles. Then, he personally handed the purple sword to him.
Qin Lun put on his monocles and his eyes immediately lit up. The lenses of the monocles showed all the features of the purple longsword, including skill introduction and additional body attributes. There was even a detailed description of whether the purple longsword could be upgraded, the equipment materials used to upgrade it, and the success rate.
These additional stats were very similar to the stats that Qin Lun had set on the death list. This monocle was actually a special item that could identify the apostle’s equipment.
At this moment, Qin Lun understood why Kelly was so sure that the leather armor of the competitor was dark gold quality. He had originally thought that it was the female apostle who had a lot of experience in identifying equipment, but now he remembered that it should be this kind of glasses.
The last item in the monocle data was the price of the purple longsword, and there was also a sign that the item was not for sale. Purchasers were reminded in red that unsold items could not be stored in storage space, nor could they be brought out of the half-plane trading square.
That’s why! Qin Lun smiled gently. No wonder the charming demon in front of him was not afraid of him killing people and stealing goods. This kind of seal was the best way to protect himself, and it was even safer than the high-tech auction house of the Horn of the Devil.
Seeing this, Qin Lun roughly understood how the half-plane trading market worked. He put the purple sword back into the sword sheath and instead pointed at the monocles on his face and asked, “What is the price of this thing?”
“Honorable Apostle, the unit price of the equipment is 3000 broken crystals. However, please note that it is unable to identify Legendary Domain items!” The Demon Demon had already seen that the apostle in front of him was a rookie, but the smile on his face was still the same, and he maintained a good professionalism.
“Well, you should know that this is the first time I’ve entered the half-plane trading field. I’m not here specifically to buy a longsword!” Qin Lun smiled and said, “Can you tell me which shop here can provide upgrading services for firearms?”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s my honor to serve you!” ‘”If you want to upgrade your firearms, please go to the third ring on the outermost floor of the Exchange Square. I suggest you go to the third blacksmith’s shop on the leftmost side of the third ring. Master Francis is the most outstanding firearms blacksmith in the Chaos Alliance!” Master Francis smiled sweetly.
“En! Also … I want this pair of equipment identification glasses!” Qin Lun nodded in satisfaction.
“Thank you for your patronage!” Succubus retrieved a brand new pair of equipment identification glasses for Qin Lun and took out a small payment instrument.
Qin Lun took out his identity card and inserted it into the payment instrument. However, when he entered the money, he added another 100 broken crystals.
“Thank you for your generosity!” Seeing this, the charming demon bowed and the smile on her face became even sweeter. 100 broken crystals was equivalent to her rent for more than a month.
