Lord of War - v4 Chapter 234
Shaun’s night vision ability is not so outstanding, but as a legendary peak powerhouse, he still has the night vision ability that he should have.
But at this moment, in front of him, in addition to vaguely observing the silhouette of a human being sitting on a soft chair sofa, Sean could not even see the other’s facial features.
Obviously, at this moment, the outside of the room is illuminated like daylight due to the continuous blooming of magical fireworks, but the environment inside the room is like a black hole that can swallow all the light-Sean did not notice this until this moment, and he found that his perception seemed to have become Slightly slow. But in any case, two diametrically opposed worlds have formed inside and outside the house: darkness and light.
But what really shocked Sean was not this dark environment like a black hole.
is the two words that the other party spit out from his mouth.
Xu Qing.
A name that shouldn’t belong to this world.
Even the citizens of the Zenas Empire, the strongest overlord of the Eastern Continent, who has the same black hair and black eyes as Sean and a typical Oriental face, their names are basically in accordance with the so-called “Western format” in Sean’s memory. , That is, it is composed of first name plus last name. Moreover, Xiao En has seen the most similar to the surname of the ancient Chinese on Earth, and there is only one word “Luo”, and most of the others are still in the form of multi-character structure.
But at this moment, a person who claims to be Xu Qing just appeared in front of him abruptly.
Sean’s pupils shrink slightly, and his emotions are in extreme fluctuations.
“You have seen other planes travelers.” The man who claimed to be Xu Qing spoke again, “It seems that I did not find the wrong person.”
Xiao En’s perception seemed to have recovered at this moment. He keenly noticed the vocabulary group “other plane travelers” mentioned by Xu Qing. In his memory, the only people worthy of this vocabulary group were those he had the honor to meet and fought side by side: Andrew, Beth, and Enkos.
”Who are you?” Sean’s muscles tightened, and then slightly relaxed. This is a standard signal that he has entered a fighting state.
“Hey, don’t be nervous, I didn’t come to fight with you.” The other party seemed to feel the muscle information of Sean, so he smiled and said, but there was not the slightest tension in his words, and even a faint look of expectation. , It seems that Sean’s desperate action on him will make him more satisfied, “As for me…I have already told you, my name is Xu Qing. Hmm…I am a businessman for the time being.”
”Businessman?” Sean sneered at Xu Qing’s statement.
“Of course, it’s just that the merchandise I manage is different from that of merchants in the traditional sense.” Xu Qing’s voice is a little bit more smiley, it seems that no matter when and where, he has a calm and confident uniqueness. Temperament, “With me, you can buy everything, no matter what.”
Xu Qing especially emphasized the term “everything”.
“Heh.” Xiao En let out a sneer, the look on his face obviously didn’t believe it, “You can sell everything?”
“Of course.” The man’s voice was obviously a little triumphant on the other side.
“So what about the World Tree shoots?” Sean said coldly.
“Sprout of the World Tree?” Xu Qing thought for a moment, and then patted his palm. “If you don’t tell me, I’m almost there. I got something a long, long time ago, and I haven’t been able to sell it. I almost forgot that I have this. Plant something.”
Hearing the voice and tone of the other party, Sean was obviously taken aback, but he did not completely trust the other party’s words.
Until, throwing something from the opponent’s hand, Xiao En subconsciously reached out and took it, and the whole person was completely stunned.
The one that Sean held in his hand was the seed of the World Tree that had been infused with enough vitality and began to germinate.
He didn’t know what the world tree sprouts looked like, but he had seen the tree of life after all, and he had also kept quiet in the room with the strongest vitality of the tree of life, so he was extremely sensitive to the breath of the tree of life. As for the thing that Sean is holding in his hand, the vitality on it is stronger and purer than the vitality that Shaun once felt from the tree of life, and the aura is obviously stronger than that of the tree of life.
Undoubtedly, this one looks just like a seed that has just begun to germinate. It is definitely a sprout of the World Tree.
“This… how is this possible!” Sean exclaimed, “In this world, at all…”
Speaking halfway, Sean already remembered the identity of the other party.
Xu Qing, a mysterious guy who claims to be a businessman.
The opponent is obviously not a person in this world, or does not belong to the existence of this plane, so it is not surprising that he has a world tree sprout in his hand, maybe the world where the opponent is in has a world tree. , And he got such a world tree sprout because of this.
But what makes Shaun puzzled is, which plane world does the other party come from?
This obviously resembles the naming method of the earth Chinese…
“It seems that you have realized something.” Xu Qing’s voice rang again, but this time with his voice, the darkness of the room seemed to be drawn by something, and began to move towards where Xu Qing was. The locations converged in the past, and the whole room regained its brightness in a blink of an eye.
And this time, Sean finally saw the other side’s looks.
This is a young man who looks about 30 years old. He has the same black hair and black eyes as Sean, and a very typical Asian face, but the most striking thing is his eyes, which have a kind of difficulty. The aura of words. He was wearing a black casual suit-it looked very incompatible with the dress of Marvel Land. On the outside of the suit was a large black windbreaker and a pair of military boots on his feet.
This man, or Xu Qing, just sat on a soft sofa with his right hand on the back of the sofa, with Erlang’s legs tilted, while his left hand was held flat, causing the entire room to be dark. The culprit was condensed into a small black ball, suspended in his left hand.
“Dark Realm, are you interested?” Seeing Xiao En’s eyes focused on the black ball in his left hand, Xu Qing smiled and said, “If you want, I can sell it to you at a cheaper price…. It’s already complete. The analyzed three-level rule can be used as soon as you buy it, eliminating all the troubles you need to analyze and understand. If you buy it now, you will also receive five years of after-sales consultation and answers.”
“Can you sell even the rules?” Sean frowned.
“Of course.” Xu Qing’s face still kept a smile, “Don’t say it’s a rule, as long as you can afford a sufficient price, I can even get you a plane world…. Of course, like you. This kind of high-level plane is impossible, but the barren plane that has not yet given birth to any spiritual intelligence and creatures is not a problem.”
Holding tightly the sprout of the World Tree in his hand, after Sean was silent for a moment, he finally said: “What is the standard for trading currency?”
“In principle, anything is fine.” Xu Qing laughed. At this moment, Xiao En felt that the other party was a bit like the demons on the plane of hell, giving him a very cunning feeling. Anything, including life, love, affection, wisdom, even the law, your children, your army, etc., as long as you can get it, can be used as a bargain… Of course, in terms of value, It must be negotiated.”
“So… what if I want to buy the sprout of the world tree in your hand?” Shaun said, “What do I need to pay?”
A smile appeared on Xu Qing’s face. With a hold of his left hand, the black ball that should be the law of darkness disappeared from his hand in an instant, and the temperament of the whole person also changed greatly at this moment.
“I need a piece of news.” Xu Qing’s whole person, instantly like a beast ready to prey, was full of aggression, “Just tell me that other plane travelers who have been in contact with you have gone. Where, then this world tree sprout… belongs to you.”
Sighed lightly, Xiao En shook his head: “Change the content of the negotiation, I can’t promise you this. It’s not that I don’t want to say it, but I really don’t know their whereabouts.”
Xu Qing stared at Xiao En, he did not immediately answer, but pursed his lips and frowned.
At this moment, the aura that Xu Qing brought to Xiao En in silence was extraordinarily heavy, it was truly like a mountain.
This feeling is not unfamiliar to Sean, because he has felt it in Alexis. It can only be felt when the strength of the two sides is already at an absolute gap. Unique aura-especially for Sean, who has already begun to touch the realm of the super strong, as long as his perception is not deceived. From this point of view, Sean was already able to judge that the so-called businessman in front of him who claimed to be Xu Qing might not be weaker than Alexis in his true personal strength.
Even, with the kind of coercion that the opponent faintly brings to him, Sean believes that the opponent and Andrew have a very similar degree of force field.
If this is the case, then this businessman named Xu Qing’s personal strength can even be said to be completely superior to Alexis.
This is also Sean having to dispel the idea of robbing the sprout of the World Tree from the opponent.
As for relying on the news of betraying Andrew and others in exchange for the buds of the world tree, Sean is not the kind of person who has no shame and bottom line. He can obtain a sprout of the World Tree through other methods, or means, but all these methods and means will definitely not include betraying his friends.
Silence, like a mountain, pressed Sean almost out of breath.
Beads of sweat have begun to appear on Sean’s forehead.
“Okay.” As Xu Qing said again, the pressure of silence suddenly disappeared without a trace, “I believe you really don’t know…. If this is the case, then let’s make another transaction. All right.”
Xu Qing’s words are full of a unique temptation, temptation, and sex, just like those demons in hell, who can always find the interlocutor’s inner weakness, and then cannibalize the opponent’s psychological defenses bit by bit.
“What kind of transaction?” But Sean, after all, couldn’t easily abandon this world tree bud.
“Allow me to scan this world of planes.” Xu Qing said, “Then I will leave a beacon in this world. This beacon is a bridge between you and me, as well as…our transaction certificate. The former. It is my transaction requirement, and the latter is a necessary part of the transaction. If you disagree, then our transaction cannot be established, and you cannot use this sprout of the world tree.”
“I hope you can explain two questions.” Sean frowned and thought for a while before speaking.
”Excuse me.” Xu Qing resumed his former relaxed posture like a nobleman.
“Why… Scan the world?” Sean asked the first question.
“This is the content of our transaction. I need… all the data in this world, but I am a very impatient person, so I will not spend a lot of time to understand all the constructions of this world, including history, humanities, and technology. Wait, so I can only get an understanding of the world through special scanning methods.” Xu Qing thought for a while, and it seemed that he was organizing the language, and then he said, “I said, I am a businessman, you Do you know what a merchant is? It’s the kind of merchant who transports a special product from one place to another to sell it. It’s just that I sell special products between different planes.”
Having said that, Xu Qing pointed to the world tree sprout in Xiao En’s hand, and then continued: “Just like your world, there is no world tree sprout, I can bring you from other plane worlds. Come to the world to plant buds. And I also believe that your world must have things that other plane worlds don’t have, but I don’t know enough about this world. I can’t be sure what special products your world has that can bring me benefits. That’s why I need to scan.”
”Similar to…specialty survey?”
“Almost.” Xu Qing shrugged, “I am a plane merchant, and use the special products of the plane world space as trading items. In my opinion, any kind of thing can be traded, even you I also think the army under his command is a kind of material that can be traded.”
”Can the army be traded?” Sean raised his eyebrows, “How to trade?”
“It depends on the situation. It is generally divided into the nature of employment and the nature of buyout.” Xu Qing explained, “If you hire, I will hire this army from you to complete a mission for me, and the distribution of trophies and personnel War damage compensation, etc., will be negotiated before I hire…. And if it is a buyout, then how I want to use this army is my business.”
Xiao En nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: “You just said that everything can be used for trading?”
“Yes.” Xu Qing nodded. “Everything such as technology, soul, power, laws, knowledge, etc., belongs to the scope of trade…. But the value of these things also varies from person to person. For example, for one For a scientific researcher, the most valuable is his technology and knowledge, and for a saint, the most valuable is his soul…. Different values, the goods that can be traded are naturally different. .”
“I see.” Sean nodded again, “Then the second question, what does a beacon mean?”
“To put it simply, it’s a transaction certificate.” Xu Qing’s answer this time was obviously much faster. Obviously, this is not the first time he answered this question. “It’s the same as allowing other caravans to trade in your city. . This beacon is your proof that you allow me to trade on this plane. Only after setting up the beacon, can I bring products that do not belong to this world into this world and let them be effective, otherwise Only if the same rules allow, what I bring into this world can be effective.”
“This involves the composition of the plane, right?”
“Yes.” Xu Qing nodded, expressing his high appreciation for Sean’s ability to understand everything so quickly.
Different plane worlds, except for the two most core laws of time and space, other law powers are actually high and low, and even some plane worlds lack the power of other laws. The most famous of these is the Elemental Plane: For example, in the case of the Elemental Plane of Fire, in addition to the core laws of time and space, the highest law is flame, and this plane does not have anything related to water. Of the law.
According to Xu Qing, if you want to bring the water of life to the elemental plane of fire, and to ensure that the water of life can still function, it is not just a thirst quenching thing, then it must be in the fire. The elemental plane sets up a beacon.
“However, once the beacon is set up, then other people on this plane can also do business with me. You are not the only one who has this power…. I must make it clear to you on this point.” Xu Qing once again reminded, “To set up a beacon, I must obtain the consent of a son of the plane like you, but once the beacon is set up, then any creature in this plane world is eligible to trade with me. .”
”Do you know who I am?” Sean blinked. He always thought his identity was hidden very well.
“Of course, otherwise, how could I find you directly.” Xu Qing smiled, “but you can rest assured that I have set up a causal force field around this house. It can be said that this house has been completely stripped from this plane at this moment. , Your boss cannot hear the conversation between us.”
Xu Qing’s words made Xiao En unable to help but fall into contemplation.
He always feels that Xu Qing’s appearance is very purposeful, and it can even be said that the other party’s words are seven true and three false. He could clearly feel that the other party wanted to scan this plane world not just to understand that this world could be regarded as a special product, but to have other purposes, but he could not guess this. What exactly did Xu Qing really want?
Even, even what the other party said at the beginning that he wanted him to provide information on Andrew’s whereabouts, he felt that it was probably just an opening statement.
The only thing Sean can be sure of is that Xu Qing in front of him is indeed not malicious towards him.
“What is the plane that can be used as a trading partner for you?” After a long silence, Xiao En could not figure out the purpose of this man named Xu Qing, so he turned to ask another question.
“According to the standard process, the object I can trade must be the plane world that gave birth to self-will.” Xu Qing seems to be considering the wording, this time his answer is a little longer than the time in the previous brewing,” so to speak Well, when all normal plane worlds are just born, there will be no plane will. The so-called plane will is a kind of consciousness gradually formed after countless years of development on a plane…. And like this The plane where the will of the plane is not born, I call it the barren plane, which means that there will be no life on this plane at all, and there are only… I can own it at any time and treat it as my trade item. Of course, provided that I still have enough shelter energy.”
“Sanctuary energy?” Sean heard a new term.
“A barren plane like this is not so easy to find, and even if you find it, someone might **** it from you, don’t you think that I am the only plane businessman?” Xu Qing laughed at himself. He smiled and said, “I have today, and to be honest, I have gone through a lot of training…. It’s a bit far, anyway, you simply think it is a kind of storage space. Make sure that I can incorporate this plane into me. In the storage space.”
Xiao En nodded and signaled Xu Qing to continue.
“…Then, that kind of plane that has given birth to will, I call it the primary plane.” Xu Qing thought for a while, and then said, “This kind of plane has already begun to give birth to life, such as what animal La, plants, and even…humans.” Xu Qing used the term “human” after thinking about it for a long time: “But a plane like this is actually very weak, if I want it. , I can completely erase this will of the plane, and also include it in my list of trading products.”
“You seem to have mentioned before that the plane I am in is an advanced plane.”
“En, yes.” Xu Qing nodded, “The reason why the elementary plane is elementary is that this plane does not have any self-protection ability at all. However, if this plane is allowed to continue to develop, then this plane’s Human beings will give birth to their own civilization, perhaps with science and technology as the main force, or magic as the main force, or even all kinds of strange energies as the main force…. This kind of low-level plane, I can’t help it. The will of the plane is erased, but I can communicate with the will of the plane. According to the different levels of the plane’s limit, I divide this type of plane into three levels.”
“The growth limit of the plane is within the tenth order, which I call the first-level plane; while the plane limit is at the fifteenth order, I call it the second-level plane; the eighteenth-order, I call it the third level. Level plane…Earth, I believe you should be familiar with it? Now that the earth has developed enough power to enter the galaxy, it is already a level three plane.” Xu Qing said, “In fact, a The growth limit of the plane is not static, and very few special planes will have relatively large fluctuations.”
Having said this, Xu Qing’s brows can’t help but frown slightly: “Like the earth, it was a high-order plane at its peak. However, in the middle of a long period of history, the earth was even degraded to the point where it could only be called The level of low-level planes… But we have a rule for plane merchants like us, that is, it is not allowed to include the plane world where the plane merchant was born into the trading list…. However, even if I did not become a plane merchant at that time , I believe that not many people would dare to hit the earth.”
“Why?”
“Because the earth once reached the level of the legendary plane, even if it degraded later, there are still very scary old monsters.”
Sean keenly noticed that Xu Qing had used the new term twice in a row: “What is the difference between a high-level plane, a high-level plane, and a legendary plane…?”
“The advanced plane refers to the plane world that has broken through the growth limit of the eighteenth order. Like the plane world you are in now, the growth limit has reached the twenty-second order, so this is a very advanced plane. Even if it is to enter the rhythm of plane warfare, it is generally difficult to conquer such a plane.” Xu Qing shrugged, but he couldn’t see what kind of attitude he had towards advanced planes. “And the so-called high-end A plane is an enhanced version of a high-level plane. It usually refers to a powerful plane whose growth limit exceeds the twenty-fifth level. Such planes have basically embarked on the road of plane warfare. After all, if you want a plane world to become a legendary plane, the only way is to plunder the original power of other planes through plane wars.”
“Legendary plane?”
“To put it simply, the growth limit of the plane is a high-level plane from the eighteenth to the twenty-fifth level, and the twenty-sixth to the 30th level is a high-level plane. Breaking through the 30th level is a legendary plane. “Xu Qing made a simple summary, “The growth limit of a plane is not just based on personal strength, but a very comprehensive consideration…. But this point is too troublesome to explain. You are not a position. If you can’t understand it because of the face merchant, I don’t even bother to explain it.”
Shaun was a little dumbfounded.
“Well, I have already told you the answers to the questions you want to know, so now, are you willing to trade with me?” Xu Qing still said with a smile, but the expression on his face showed that there was a kind of expression on his face. The taste of threat: Lao Tzu has spent so much saliva and explained this plane knowledge to you, if you dare to refuse, I won’t let you go.
“It sounds like I don’t seem to do any harm.” After playing with the sprouts of the World Tree in his hand, Sean groaned for a moment, but still chose to compromise. “But I think you should know that I am the son of planes, if you do something Things that damage this plane…”
“Don’t worry.” Xu Qing showed a happy expression on his face. He stood up, patted Xiao En on the shoulder, and smiled, “Our businessmen are the most credible, and we will never do anything to harm. What is the origin of your plane, after all, this is also our food tool…. And, I can guarantee that you will definitely not regret it in the future if you promised me. Perhaps in the near future, you will be able to obtain You have gained incredible results.”
“Hope.” Xiao En sighed helplessly. He realized at this moment that he had no choice since the beginning.
“Then, don’t pass this, I have a lot to do.” Xu Qing waved to Xiao En, but before leaving, he still threw a piece of metal to Xiao En, “Fantasy stone, you can do it with you Change the shape of your mind. Don’t lose this thing. This is the only way you can get in touch with me.”
”Everyone who trades with you has it?”
“How is it possible.” Xu Qingbai gave Xiao En a glance. “This thing is very expensive, and only someone like you can get it. After I set up the beacon, other people in this world may also be able to interact with you. I conduct transactions, but the transactions between me and them are basically a one-shot deal, but unlike you, there are after-sales service or even other contacts.”
Having said that, Xu Qing thought for a while, and then said: “In fact, occasionally some people I admire may still have the possibility of contacting again, and maybe they can develop into regular customers. But even so, I Normally, you will not send out fantasy stones, but use another way to communicate…. Anyway, this thing is very expensive, you should be careful not to lose it, if you let others pick it out, thus revealing your identity as a son of the plane, Then it’s not fun.”
“It seems that you know a lot about the children of the plane.” Sean curled his lips.
The son of the plane is a legal agent selected by the will of the plane, responsible for things that the will of the plane cannot handle. The core task is to prevent the depletion of the plane’s origin. However, all the children of the planes, because of the will of the plane, their own fortune is very strong. As a world involved, it can be said to be a type of joke with a cheat device, and therefore all planes The identity of the son cannot be easily revealed.
Once exposed, then this son of the plane must turn from a world-affiliated person to a watcher, can no longer intervene in all affairs of the plane world, and also start the training and selection of successors. And once a new person involved in the world is selected, then as the old man’s plane monitor, he must be separated from this plane world, just as Jibril must leave after Shaun officially took over.
Another reason why Xu Qing does not want Sean to become a watcher is that once Sean changes from a world involved person to a watcher, all the agreements he has made with Sean will be invalidated. The most important thing is that the function of the beacon will be invalid. disappear.
“You have been in contact with several sons of planes before, and you are not the first one.” Xu Qing said softly, seeming to recall some memories of him, and his face was not pretty for a moment, “No matter what, we are now The transaction has already been established. If you want to trade anything, please find me through the Fantasy Stone…. I’m short on time, so I’ll go busy first.”
After that, before Xiao En could reply, Xu Qing’s figure disappeared directly in front of Xiao En.
The next moment, the causal force field that enveloped the entire room completely disappeared, and Sean’s perception was completely restored at this moment.
He lowered his head and glanced at the sprout of the World Tree in his hand, and found that this seed was still carefully protected by Sean, and everything was telling Sean that the communication between him and Xu Qing just now was not a dream. Although Xiao En still had doubts about Xu Qing’s motives, after confirming that the will of the world did not communicate with him, that is to say, Xu Qing did not do anything that would damage the original power of the world, Xiao En decided not to pay attention to this. Quirky plane businessman.
Sean believed that he had just made an ordinary transaction with him, and he also believed that he would never have any contact with this businessman in his life. After all, he is the son of the plane and the emperor of the void empire. In addition to not being able to unify the entire plane world, he can do whatever he wants, and as long as there is enough time, whether it is the wild land or the deep savvy forest, in the end A new world tree will grow.
Time is on his side.
Thinking about this, Sean turned to open the door and walked quickly towards the house where Hitley was temporarily staying.
……
On the other hand, after Xu Qing left the Void Palace, he also set up a beacon for the first time to make sure that the world had contacted him, and he started running non-stop.
It was almost just a night’s work, and Xu Qing had already traveled to many places on this plane.
But if Sean can walk with Xu Qing, then he will find that all the places Xu Qing ran this evening were all places where Andrew had appeared. It even includes the mysterious place where Sean and the Will of the World communicated for the first time, and the site of the floating island that is now empty.
Obviously, Xu Qing is indeed chasing Andrew.
And his last stay was the place where Andrew and others left.
Standing in this position originally belonging to the Millennium Covenant Empire, Xu Qing’s expression looked very serious: “This smell…is it the Abyss Plane? It’s really tricky. The chaotic lunatics over there won’t allow me to enter at will. Hey, Luo Cheng ah Luo Cheng, you will really trouble me.”
After talking to himself for a long time, Xu Qing frowned and said in a deep voice: “You have been with me all night, what else can you worry about?”
A humanoid silhouette composed entirely of black fog, as Xu Qing’s words fell, it just appeared in front of him.
This black mist quickly shaped itself into the appearance of Sean, but unlike Sean’s awe-inspiring temperament, the black mist in front of him was composed of a kind of indifferent nature.
This black mist composed of Sean is the will of the world on the plane of miracle.
