At noon,
Ye Feng, who had slept for a while, opened his eyes,
"There are so few people who truly appreciate good things..."
Ye Feng was a little depressed.
His stall displayed ordinary firearms, ammunition, arcane energy firearms, and arcane talismans. The firearms, especially the arcane energy firearms, sold very well. In contrast, the arcane talismans sold poorly... hardly anyone was interested...
At this moment, the firearms and ammunition were almost sold out. Coupled with the approaching noon, the crowd in front of Ye Feng's stall had thinned considerably. He simply closed his eyes, covered his face with his sun hat, and decided to pack up if no one showed up in a while...
"Little boss, your arcane talismans..."
Ye Feng had just closed his eyes when a young male voice entered his ears.
"They are already very cheap!"
Ye Feng responded instinctively, as he had heard countless attempts to bargain throughout the morning.
Although the arcane talismans were considerably more expensive than firearms and ammunition, he had specifically asked Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying, who had browsed the arcane talisman stalls, and his pricing was definitely very cheap...
"No, little boss, I mean, can you sell all of these arcane talismans to me? It's just that I don't have enough arcane origin stones right now. I'll need to go back and get some!"
The young man quickly spoke to Ye Feng.
"Hmm?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly and opened his eyes.
He took off the sun hat covering his face and looked in the direction of the voice, somewhat surprised. The person was the young man he had met among the zombies outside the City of Arcane Arts.
Ye Feng remembered that it was the last portal to enter the City of Arcane Arts. The other person had agreed to let him pass through the portal for free, and when he refused, the other person had even proactively left him a token that could open the portal...
"Little boss, my name is Feng Buwang. This Anle Street happens to be under my charge!"
Feng Buwang spoke very politely, "You have a lot of these arcane talismans, and I don't have enough arcane origin stones on me to buy them. Could you wait for me for half an hour? I'll go back and get the arcane origin stones and then come back to pay!"
As he spoke, Feng Buwang's hand flashed with light, and a small pile of arcane origin stones appeared beside the stall.
"Alright, I guess!"
Ye Feng had a good impression of Feng Buwang, so he nodded and agreed.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Feng Buwang repeatedly thanked him, took the quantity of arcane talismans he could afford with his current arcane origin stones, and then quickly ran back with his subordinates.
"Young Master Feng, these arcane talismans are crudely made, and the prices are outrageously high. Why did you buy them? And why all of them?"
"Indeed... The material used to make these arcane talismans is just a piece of bark. Those who use such things as material... are usually impoverished talisman masters... and most of them are for practice..."
"That's right. For arcane talismans to exert their power, let alone using arcane origin stones to engrave and craft them, at the very least, a layer of arcane origin stone powder should be spread on the bark..."
After Feng Buwang had walked a considerable distance away from the stall, his subordinates questioned him with confusion.
"The style and material of these arcane talismans are indeed a bit unconventional... but the power of these arcane talismans is absolutely guaranteed!"
As he spoke, Feng Buwang took an arcane talisman, injected a small amount of arcane energy into it, and a powerful pressure instantly emanated.
"This... this pressure is already close to Silver high-level..."
"This..."
The people around Feng Buwang's face changed, filled with disbelief.
"The crafting of these arcane talismans... the runes on them are directly engraved with arcane energy... instead of the usual method where arcane talisman masters first sprinkle arcane origin stone powder, then use their arcane energy as a catalyst to activate the arcane origin stone powder, and then engrave the runes..."
"Only extremely powerful arcane talisman masters can use this method of production that dispenses with arcane origin stones!"
"In the City of Arcane Arts, the number of great talisman masters who can do this can be counted on one hand..."
Feng Buwang's eyes flashed with brilliance.
He had originally received a report from his subordinates that someone was using force and even firing guns on Anle Street, so he had come to investigate... He hadn't expected such a huge gain...
...
Ye Feng was unaware of the discussion between Feng Buwang and his subordinates. He was in a very good mood at the moment.
Last night, Jiang Shishan had told him during their chat that he had passed the preliminary selection for Bing Zheng Hun's marriage proposal, and trouble would likely follow...
Because some families within the City of Arcane Arts, in order to reduce competition among their own descendants, would try to arrange for those who passed the assessment to disappear mysteriously...
What Jiang Shishan had said was soon proven. When Ye Feng went out this morning, he sensed that more than one group of people were watching him from the shadows...
Therefore, when he encountered people looking for trouble while buying things this morning, he casually made up a story about having a powerful master behind him...
Ye Feng's method had an immediate effect. Most of the groups who had been tracking him in the morning had retreated, leaving only those in the southwest corner...
Immediately after, Ye Feng lay back on the rattan chair and began to rest...
...
On the other side,
One of the six tallest buildings in the City of Arcane Arts, the Earth Tower where Tu Tuo resided.
"Yo, a rare visitor! You've actually come in person!"
The speaker was a middle-aged man with a smiling face and a plump face, none other than Tu Tuo.
If Ye Feng were present, he would be quite surprised, because Tu Tuo at this moment was only fat in the face, with a very thin body, almost skin and bones.
The person Tu Tuo was speaking to was a middle-aged man wearing large black-rimmed glasses and a tailcoat suit, none other than Keleji.
"What happened in the ancient ruins? Where is the Stone of Hope?"
Keleji adjusted his large black-rimmed glasses and asked Tu Tuo.
"You still have that same grumpy look!"
Tu Tuo bared his plump lips and said indifferently, "It's gone!"
"Gone? What do you mean?"
Keleji frowned slightly.
"Gone means gone... The Stone of Hope was destroyed by the Annihilation Array!"
Tu Tuo spread his hands, not caring.
Keleji said nothing. He pushed his large black-rimmed glasses again, and his gaze towards Tu Tuo became dangerous, "I am asking you on behalf of the Prophet!"
"Oh?"
Tu Tuo narrowed his eyes as well, "Then please tell the Prophet that the Stone of Hope in the ancient ruins, also known as the Spark of Civilization, was destroyed by the Annihilation Array!"
Keleji did not respond. He looked at Tu Tuo expressionlessly.
"By the way! Keleji!"
Tu Tuo paused and then spoke again, "I am no longer under your jurisdiction. Now, and in the future, I will only pledge allegiance to His Majesty Ares, the God of War!"
As Tu Tuo's voice fell, his hand flashed with light, and an ancient silver spear appeared in his hand, the divine artifact Spear of War.
"Crack!~"
Almost at the same moment, cracks appeared in Keleji's large black-rimmed glasses.
"Farewell, and don't let the door hit you on the way out!"
Tu Tuo lightly waved the Spear of War and said to Keleji.
Keleji said nothing. He gave Tu Tuo a cold glance, turned around, and took a step. Space distorted, and the next moment, his figure disappeared...
...
