The buildings here in the Sand Market are all made of tents.

The Black Vulture Chamber of Commerce is no exception.

A large piece of land near the edge of the North District is surrounded by a simple wooden fence. There are more than a dozen tents of various sizes set up inside, with flags on them and the emblem of the Black Vulture Chamber of Commerce printed on them, on the yellow desert.

A two-headed black vulture.

This is the emblem of the Black Vulture Chamber of Commerce

There are many guards from the Black Vulture Chamber of Commerce standing guard nearby.

Muchen casually came to a chamber of commerce guard in his thirties, with yellow hair and a scar on his face.

He said to him: "I want to meet the president of your chamber of commerce?"

The guard asked, "Do you have an appointment?"

Muchen shook his head.

The guard looked at Muchen a few times and then said, "You don't look like a friend of our president. Please come back. The president is very busy and doesn't have time to see you."

"Please tell me that I am here for the Forbidden Book of Ancient Laws. Your president will agree to see me," Muchen said.

The guard didn't bother to pay attention and just chased people away.

"Get out of here, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless with the iron gun in my hand."

The scar-faced guard flashed the gleaming black iron spear in his hand.

This guard's level is thirty. It would be easy for Muchen to kill him.

But he still had to find a way to get the remaining pages of the "Forbidden Book of Ancient Law" from the president of the Black Vulture Chamber of Commerce.

So don't make too much of a fuss.

Muchen had already guessed that it would not be too easy to meet the president of the Black Vulture Chamber of Commerce.

In this case.

Muchen also has a way to deal with it.

In the last life, players came up with a set of methods to deal with some difficult and unfriendly NPCs.

To put it simply, reduced to four words, it is coercion and inducement!

If you don't obey, you'll be beaten; if you can't be beaten, you'll be tempted.

This trick works well on almost all NPCs.

Muchen directly took some gold coins and bribed the guard.

Not much, just fifty or sixty gold coins.

The scar-faced guard didn't mind too much either, so he accepted it without any courtesy.

Received benefits.

The guard muttered: "That's more than enough."

Then, a smile appeared on the guard's face and he said: "Okay, just wait a moment, I will go and report to the president immediately, but whether he can see you or not, I don't have any say."

Muchen looked at the back of the guard as he left.

Shaking his head secretly.

These guards hired by the chamber of commerce have been dealing with treacherous businessmen all year round, and each of them has become cunning and greedy.

after awhile.

The guard came back and said to Muchen shamelessly: "The president has agreed to see you. Thanks to me saying a few nice words for you, the president agreed to see you. You have to thank me!"

Muchen glanced at the scar-faced guard and said nothing.

This guy is really arrogant and talks a lot.

He didn't bother to argue with such a small person.

With the approval of being allowed to enter, Muchen entered the territory of the Black Vulture Chamber of Commerce.

There are many tents here.

Which tent is the president in? It's easy to spot. He must be in the largest and most luxurious tent.

If you have money, who would treat yourself badly?

Muchen glanced around and quickly found his target.

Go into the tent.

Although this tent has no windows, it is not dark at all. It is luxuriously lit with many magic whale oil lamps for lighting.

The Demonic Whale is an epic magical beast in the endless sea.

They are full of treasures, and their whale oil, refined into lamp oil through the hands of mages, is priceless.

Of course.

If it were a real magic whale oil lamp, it would be priceless.

However, Muchen took a closer look, and with his keen perception and good knowledge, he could see it at a glance.

The magic whale lamp oil in this tent is fake.

It should be a second-class imitation made using the whale oil produced by the Silver Demonic Beast Narwhal.

"Hello, sir, my name is Black Eagle."

A voice interrupted Muchen's thoughts.

He moved his gaze away from the magic whale oil lamp hanging on the tent and placed it on a young man in black robes not far from him.

This young man looks to be about the same age as Muchen.

He even seemed to be a little younger than Muchen.

Although Black Eagle is young, the light in his eyes is full of sophistication and ability.

The black robe he wore seemed to be modified from the mage's robe, and the style was very strange.

As for his name...Black Vulture?

Sound weird?

There was silence for a moment.

Muchen replied: "Hello, President Black Eagle, my name is Chen Chen. I am an adventurer. I came here specifically for the "Forbidden Book of Ancient Laws"."

"Why, do you have some broken pages of "The Forbidden Book of Ancient Laws" on hand? If so, I am willing to pay a high price to buy them." Black Vulture said with a smile.

Muchen shook his head and said: "No, I want the remaining pages of the "Forbidden Book of Ancient Laws" in your hand."

"On my hand?"

The black vulture has a strange face.

Muchen said: "That's right, I learned from the intelligence dealer that you seem to possess the remaining pages of the Forbidden Book of Ancient Laws."

Black Eagle said with a relaxed expression: "That's true. I have a fragment of the "Forbidden Book of Ancient Laws". However, the intelligence dealer didn't tell you that I won't sell it?"

"You are a businessman, you sell everything."

Muchen said calmly.

Black Eagle curled his lips and said, "Although I really want to refute you, you are right."

Immediately, he said again: "Okay, don't just stand around. Let's sit down. We have to sit down to discuss business. What's the point of standing..."

There are many strange things placed in Black Vulture's tent.

A hip flask crafted from the skull of a giant... almost as big as the head of a truck.

There is a table made of the bones of the undead, a few blue mushroom stools, and two wooden cups carved from the decayed Tree of Life.

The above are just the tip of the iceberg.

The black vulture picked up the wooden cup and poured two cups of light yellow wine into the giant skull flask.

The giant skull jug seemed to have turned into a huge wine barrel in front of the black vulture.

Putting one of the glasses of wine on Muchen, Black Eagle sat down, took a sip of the wine, and then said:

"Tell me, how much money do you plan to pay to buy the remaining pages of "The Forbidden Book of Ancient Laws" that I have?"

Muchen said: "One thousand gold coins."

Black Eagle curled his lips and said: "It's too little. In order to get this fragment of the "Forbidden Book of Ancient Laws", I spent less than 10,000 gold coins. Now if you want to buy it for 1,000 gold coins, it is simply impossible!

"

"Then tell me, how many gold coins are appropriate?"

Muchen asked.

Black Eagle said: "At least ten thousand gold coins."

"Too much."

It's not that Muchen has no money, it's just that it's not worth it.

Only by completing the task [Searching for the Broken Pages of "The Forbidden Book of Ancient Laws"] can you earn 500 contribution points.

Spend so many gold coins.

He might as well do a few more low-level tasks to collect 500 contribution points.

Black Eagle said: "Actually, I also accept barter. As you can see, I quite like strange collectibles. If you have anything interesting on your body, take it out and show it to me."
