Behind the wide cracks is a magnificent city wall.

Although it was already broken, and the collapse of bricks and stones made the wall mottled, from the ten-foot-high foundation and the corridor extending inward, you can imagine its grandeur at the beginning, especially the huge door on the installation, the human-shaped carvings on both sides were already weathered, but the thirty-foot-foot-suspended gate, the rough iron teeth were enough for everyone who approached him to look up and hold their breath slightly.

However, as everyone's attention was focused on the wall, Edward's eyes moved slightly.

The geological structure here has obviously reached below the mantle - the deep groove between sulfur gas and flame clouds made humans stop for a moment. The wide gap in their field of view gradually narrowed, and finally became a faintly flowing dark red bottom, about several miles away from the ground, but the faint heat is already a bit sweaty, and the pungent stench is even more intense, which makes people feel vomited. However, the dark red flame color still stung people in the fog...

The energy contained in the magma is probably something that can be directly absorbed by earth element creatures. As long as you build a teleportation array here, it should not take too much time to charge it.

Edward thought so when he stepped across the stone bridge that emitted faintly magical fluctuations.

However, when the crowd walked through the abyss, the long and wide black bridge stepped into the giant arch, the space around suddenly changed - in the subtle flow of air, whether it was temperature or smell, it seemed that it had returned to normal levels. Edward sniffed, and could even smell the refreshingness of some sea breeze in the air...

Obviously, some magical devices in this ancient ruin are playing a huge role.

If we could make our territory look like this... humans couldn't help but imagine this in an instant.

Of course, with the magic of magic, no matter what kind of place it is, it can be transformed into a comfortable environment. The legendary great arcane masters could even directly open up a semi-plane with nothing, and then create air, light and water sources in it. It becomes a comfortable residence. If you want to transform Burgundy, located on the surface, it will naturally not be as difficult as that.

But even so, it was a major project that required several ** teachers to work together, and it also had to pay enough capital at a sky-high price... Edward gradually built it himself, and even if he spent decades to gradually accumulate strength, connections and funds, he might not be able to do it.

However, the interior of this city is unsatisfactory.

The street is paved with gray stones of the same size, with flat roofs on both sides. It is made of materials mixed with earth and stone. Even after thousands of years of weathering, it can still be seen that it was originally covered with finely carved patterns.

They were either taverns, hotels, shops, or other places, but now they have become living creatures' residences... One by one, a few savage creatures entrenched out of the territory, and sometimes a few goblins ran away from the street screaming. The lizard men behind them were chasing, as if they were fighting for some food. Not far away, several ogres and trolls sat around the fire, stirring up the thick green soup in a big pot.

As the crowd passed by, everything around seemed to be quiet. Goblins, lizardmen, or other things with eyes were staring at this group of existences that were walking by in a big way - or, a human wandered in a city where the monsters were attracted, the degree of attention of monsters was no less than that of humans swaggering across the streets of the city...

After all, humans are foreign objects here.

"This... the spirit-sucking monster can't manage the city?" The strange sight around him made the half-elves shrink their necks and complain in a low voice: "Even if these guys are slaves, they should manage them, right?"

"That's right, Miss, since these are just their slaves and the lowest ones, they naturally have no mood to pay attention to them... Like us, they will isolate the upper city area, and it will be almost the same when they arrive there." The male Zhuoer said.

The so-called upper and lower cities did not make obvious distinctions. After a group of people walked through several streets and alleys, the street in front became empty - ogres, monsters or noisy goblins would not exceed the scope of this street, just like there was an invisible wall there.

"A spellcaster and his five minions are required to be qualified to enter the city."

He stopped at this street intersection, and the spirit-sucking monster called the Star Seeker spoke, not knowing who to report to. After a while, he turned his head slightly, then turned around and made a gesture of inviting everyone: "Okay, you can enter the city. Within the four hourglass, you can stay in the city."

"That's it?" This simple process made everyone stunned. Miss Lisa, who was surprised, couldn't help but speak.

"Yes."

"Is this over?"

"Yes."

"Isn't it necessary to conduct a duel ceremony when entering the city?"

"The duel between life and death is not a convention, it only applies to strange existences. If you make a certain contribution to the city, you can overcome this step."

"What kind of contribution? Have we made contributions?" Edward frowned, feeling that this statement was a bit far-fetched.

"You saved my life, and this is enough contribution." After a moment of silence, the spirit-sucking monster spoke: "Although you are numerous, it does not pose a threat. Therefore, some things can be skipped."

"This is OK? I thought, they..." Druid Famini couldn't help but mutter: "Are these notorious spirit-sucking monsters? They actually..."

"The spirit-sucking monster is even more evil and dangerous, right?"

The spiritual sucking monster named Star Hunter suddenly spoke: "In fact, this is just among you humans. Some people say this, so everyone - those humans who have never really seen the spiritual sucking monster, also feel this way. But please remember that legends are all exaggerated. What you hear in your ears may not be true, and sometimes even what you see in your eyes may not be true, let alone the so-called evil and dangerous level of the spiritual sucking monster?"

After a pause, he looked around everyone with his silver eyes. "Most of the existences have never seen the appearance of the spirit-sucking monster with their own eyes, but in order to make others believe their words, they will naturally overstate some things, and describe them very terrible. If you have been to the lower realm, you may know that neither demon nor devil is so outrageous. Those so-called blood and other things are just wind and words imagined by timids."

These words were calm and low, as if all of their language classes had no emotional infusion, but most people nodded slightly.

It makes sense, does it?

Or yes.

But the leading human just lowered his eyes without saying a word.

Edward never had the same optimism as the name of the Spiritual Sucking Monster. In fact, there were not many people who could still be optimistic about a group of cannibal monsters. What's more, he would not be confused by those appearances - the ruins of this city were well repaired in this part and almost had more than 70% of the appearance, but looking around, the wide street ahead was deserted. Only a few drowns or gray dwarves hurriedly passed by, and even a single Spiritual Sucking Monster was not seen. Even according to the records in the book, the number of Spiritual Sucking Monsters is generally controlled to be around 300 in a city, but this is not too small.

If these spirit-sucking monsters were not born with home attributes... Obviously, the undead seemed to have had a considerable impact.

Some thoughts suddenly stopped.

Edward suddenly turned his head and stared at the figure slowly coming from afar!

The spiritual ability field around it seemed to be suddenly moved, disturbed, and became a mess!

This spirit-sucking monster that slowly came with both hands was obviously unusual.

Compared with the ordinary spiritual sucking monster, he was about nine feet tall. His skin was purple-red, and there was also a layer of oil-like mucus attached to it. It was sparkling in the dark red lava fire. On his huge head, the smooth eyebrow was filled with silver light, and four tentacles more than two feet long swung gently on his chin. It seemed to be crawling. But there were two thicker long beards on this jaw, spreading over the suction cup, almost hanging down to the knees, like a long beard left by an elder, making him look more majestic and noble, with extraordinary temperament.

In other words, it makes people feel even more terrifying.

The super spirit-sucking monster with six tentacles is a great existence like a demigod for ordinary spirit-sucking monsters... In fact, their strength is almost indeed a demigod-level - such spirit-sucking monsters have various abilities, including the understanding and application of spiritual energy, and are born with a talent several times higher than that of ordinary spirit-sucking monsters. Decades of years are enough for them to cross the wall of truth and touch the sea of ​​eternity.

That is to change everything with one's own strength, and even distort the real existence level, which is almost the same as the ** Master.

Not to mention that there are many super spirit-sucking monsters, who are also masters with profound attainments... They call them the dual cultivation of the Ao Spirit, and their complementarity makes one plus one far greater than two. In their eyes, simple and ordinary spellcasters or demonstrators will not be more difficult to deal with than an ant.

However, when staring at the weird face, Edward couldn't say how scared he was in his heart - or rather, he had already adapted to this kind of psychic pressure, because the guy in front of him looked a bit like Cartzejek, the inflatable version of the Thinker.

Still cooked.

"Kanzbak, Elder of the Doctorate." The spirit-sucking monster who claimed to be a star seeker spoke out, and at the same time he respectfully lowered his head.

Everyone was silent, and a moment of pause occurred in the space, but the slightly rippling spiritual lines around it made Edward know that the spirit-sucking monster was having a series of spiritual communication with the soul-eating monster. Unfortunately, he could not reveal his flaws, otherwise he could listen to what kind of collusion the other party was doing.

"Since you no longer need to pass the test, then according to the rules, the next trading time is the time. I think that is also your purpose here." The Soul-Eating Monster said, of course, he directly penetrated into the mind of the creature with telepathy, which made people feel a little cold: "But I have the right to choose the transactions you have made, so please take out your trading items."

Edward frowned. He didn't expect that these guys would have such rules. It was not the trading principle of market liberalization.

"Blue mushroom powder?"

Elder Lingsucking Monster raised a tentacle and rolled the small bottle in front of his eyes: "This kind of thing is not very valuable. Although it is very rare, it is not a renewable resource. If you can provide the spores or mycelium of the blue mushroom, we may also make some viable transactions. This... well. The dose of about thirty servings is too small, and I can't provide you with more. Or, one or two Drow slaves? You can choose from the eighty we have, but none of them have much magical powers."

Edward gritted his teeth secretly.

This damn weird thing is really cruel to lower the price... Thirty portions of blue mushroom powder like this. I am afraid that you can get at least 70,000 to 80,000 gold coins or equivalent... After all, that is something that can improve your intelligence. When you get to this old octopus, you can pick up the two octopus. Of course, the two octopus female slaves thrown on the surface is indeed worth the same amount, but if you want a female slave, based on your identity, there are naturally a lot of priestesses from the failed family that can get it. Do you still need to exchange it with you, the old octopus?

What he needs are various spirit crystals, psychic supplies, and psychic materials. These things are absolutely impossible to find on the surface, but they are not considered anything to the spirit-sucking monster... But the biggest problem is that humans do not want to spit out their intentions directly. Otherwise, if this dead octopus does not raise the price, it will be a pity for his big head.

"Dose is not a problem. If you can provide something I am interested in, I can provide you with the finished product of blue mushroom powder in batches." He thought for a while. "Bakaran or Sanis, of course, I still have a small amount of finished product of Jiding tea if you need it."

Bakaran and Thanis are not helpful to the mage, but they are indeed good narcotics for use on warriors, which can make them ignore the pain and become more sensitive. As for the side effects... the spirit-sucking monster's attitude towards slaves is a consumable, and the lifespan of more than ten or twenty years is not much different. Anyway, it is often replaced without using it.

“We don’t need these things.”

The Soul-Devouring Monster's answer made Edward feel cold. However, his next words seemed to have a turning point: "Of course, the so-called transaction may not necessarily be such a thing."

"I'm not going to sell slaves."

"No, I am not very interested in the inferior goods like slaves at the moment." The four tentacles of the Soul Eater squirmed: "Human, if you don't know our rules, you should at least collect some information in advance. Bluffing may not necessarily bring you a more favorable situation."

"We can also accept the transaction of knowledge." He paused, and said: "Anyone can reward the knowledge we do not have."

“What kind of knowledge?”

"Any knowledge, your history, rumors, surface conditions, geographical changes, wars or anything else, some new potion formulas, or even special weather conditions, can be used as valuable items. We will evaluate the value of knowledge and give corresponding rewards. Everything is determined based on the value of the information you can provide."

"That's OK?"

"You will not understand. As part of the law, no matter how small the knowledge is, as long as you connect it, you will be able to see the ultimate mystery of the multiverse one day, master or even create that only law..." The soul-devouring monster spoke slowly.

"The world is just a constitutive body of will and appearances, only the law is the bond that connects them... is it?" Edward suddenly spoke, interrupting the long speech of the Soul-Eater. It also made his eyes stop on humans for a moment.

"So, what about the recent changes in Lufthansa Tiron City?" said human.

"The Spider Queen ordered the Drows to start attacking the surface... We already know this. Although the details are not clear, the details are not important." The Soul Eater shook his tentacles: "There is no need for transactions in the matter that has been mastered, and we are not particularly interested in this kind of news, unless you can provide us with an exact explanation of the behavior of the Spider Queen, and sufficient evidence to prove the explanation. In addition, the regime change or war on the surface is of little significance to us, and it can only be used to extend the residence time of up to one hourglass scale."

Edward's brows were frowning.

Is this guy really clear about the things in Hansha Tyron? Could it be that the connection between the spirit-sucking monsters and the main brain told them about these situations?

No...The spirit-sucking monsters tend to be personal hatred for racial hatred, so if that matter is really missed, they must have been besieged by the spirit energy.

So what's going on?

Edward raised his head and stared at the silver-lit eyes of the Soul-Devouring Monster in front of him.

The answer seemed obvious...but it was not that easy. Edward shook his head slightly - now, around everyone, there was a protective evil magic array. This was not a high-level magic, but it had an excellent resistance to mental control spells.

But obviously, this thing doesn't have much meaning in front of a soul-devouring monster - in this way, some news and other things may not be used as bargaining chips.

Fortunately, I always believe in my will. Otherwise, I might have to leave.

"I have some ways to make magic items...but I want to see your goods"

"No need, because we do not have the ridiculous so-called freedom of thinking and personal will as you. As long as the master brain of the door of flame exists, for us, knowledge is a shared wealth. Say it to me, or to other spirit-sucking monsters, the results are the same. As for the types of items, you can rest assured that what I will provide you is everything you can find in this city. We have no intention to waste time and intelligence on identifying items, which is boring."

Edward couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth. He didn't expect that these sucking monsters were actually **... (To be continued...)
