Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 448 - 427: Trade

"Compared to the currently tranquil Western Federation, in the Eastern Region, mysterious events frequently erupt, where young powerhouses keep emerging, just like the legends that shone brilliantly during the Dark Age, ushering in a new era of transformation, new legends begin to emerge."

"In previous issues, this newspaper has covered the notorious inheritor of ancient magic from Jiatai City, as well as the soul singer from Austin. In this issue, the young powerhouse ranked as a supernova, is a wizard with a terrifying track record..."

As the sultry voice of a witch broadcaster reached his ears, Tang Qi’s expression gradually eased. Although the tone of the Mysterious Daily was as unscrupulous as ever, and the new titles and honorifics they assigned him were somewhat cheesy, the content of the interview was not far off.

Unexpectedly, he should be able to remove the title "Evil God Slayer."

Even with Diana’s corpse, Tang Qi was not confident in confronting an Evil God head-on.

Including his previous achievements, he seized the moment and secretly killed his adversaries.

Not exactly honorable, but he wasn’t a churchgoer; pragmatism was the key to survival.

Quickly finishing the Federation Chapter, Tang Qi picked up the Secret Phoenix Chapter.

It was still that scantily clad golden-haired witch, with deep facial features, leaning close to Tang Qi’s ear, starting a new round of reports. There were no significant events worth noting, the only thing that caught Tang Qi’s attention a few more times, was about "the strongest Transcendent in Secret Phoenix City."

Tang Qi got his wish, sliding from first to third, with William O’Niel, and the Archbishop of the Secret Phoenix area surpassing him.

If it weren’t for the striking achievement of killing Leckter, perhaps William Marshall, or Sith and others, could have surpassed Tang Qi.

Now it seems, his final ranking would be fixed in the top five.

"Although it’s a bit conspicuous, it does correspond with my role as a principal... In addition, this time only exposed Diana and the Green Dragon Breath, the identity of the Melter Wizard is still well hidden, there are still two Sun Merits unused, I can save them in case of unexpected events... It’s been a while since the last hunt, I should schedule that too."

Tang Qi suddenly pondered the pros and cons of taking up the mantle of principal of the Witch School.

The downside was actually just one, his personal time was drastically reduced, so much so that he couldn’t even maintain daily hunting.

However, the benefits were more pronounced, Tang Qi now, as a "big shot" of the Mysterious Side in Secret Phoenix City, controlled a significant force, the Neutral Camp, and maintained good relations with the Ancient Castle Bureau, Church, and Investigation Bureau.

If he were a "lone wolf", it would be difficult to achieve these.

And their self-preservation abilities also had huge differences.

After mentally arranging his schedule, Tang Qi shook his hand, and the mature and alluring witch disappeared, the newspaper returned to normal.

Glancing once more at the enchanting magical landscape outside the window, without further hesitation, he directly took out the Leader Token.

"September 5th, Lake Heart Island Secret Realm reopens!"

...

Just as Tang Qi predicted, after lifting the veil of mystery, Transcendents were quickly drawn to the endless mysterious events, too occupied to pay further attention to Merada Special Education School, and the reopening also had no impact on order.

"Special children" from all over the Federation entered the school through various channels.

At the same time, Professor Eva had also implemented a complex, mature system, much better than when managed by Esmeralda.

While still not comparable to official organizations like the Ancient Castle Bureau, it undoubtedly wouldn’t bog down Tang Qi, the principal, with a plethora of affairs.

That night, in front of a luxury hotel building.

As the doors opened wide, Tang Qi, carrying Gluttony, stepped out, crossed the front courtyard sculpture, and gently uttered a spell.

A magical barrier immediately opened, engulfing him.

When he next opened his eyes, Tang Qi found himself surrounded by a plethora of "monsters," various demons, ghosts, or biological entities like zombies, seemingly hosting a masquerade ball inside the old-fashioned tavern ahead.

Tang Qi cast an "Illusion Spell" on himself and entered the hall directly, stepping onto the reversing spiral staircase.

Although he wasn’t here to drink this time, since he was already there, he proceeded to the third floor to catch up with Savoy, whom he hadn’t seen in several days.

"Looking at the time, that guy should have grown his eighth arm by now, soon I’ll have to teach an Eight-Armed Bartender, just not sure if his arms will keep growing endlessly, what if he grows a hundred, a thousand arms, wouldn’t he be able to serve a large number of guests all by himself?"

"Boom~Splatter!"

While Tang Qi’s mind was full of these nagging thoughts, a familiar sound came, and looking up, he saw a male Transcendent who seemed to be a "Ghoul," observing the huge beer barrel above the archway pour down beer, screamed, and awkwardly jumped backward.

Instantly, the guests inside the archway, in perfect unison, burst out laughing.

Clearly, this had become an evening ritual "encore performance," unless someone warned them, the majority of first-time visitors would fall for it.

If one possessed sharper insights, they could be exceptions like Tang Qi.

As the largest gathering place for Transcendents in Secret Phoenix City, the Old Tavern was almost never quiet, even when outside faced upheaval and disaster.

Some guests who hadn’t made it home a few days ago watched the "live broadcast" intently in the tavern, thanks to the Old Tavern’s provision of extraordinary projections.

According to the message delivered by Savoy, due to his involvement, the beer sales that night were exceptionally pleasing.

When he entered the lobby, the familiar bustling scene came into view.

Various extraordinary creatures, as well as ladies and Bull Herders, and on the central stage, a performance that made the blood boil.

Tang Qi arrived just in time to see a tall lady with wheat-colored skin wearing a strange hat performing.

When she took it off, strands of black hair seemed to come alive, swelling and bursting out, and then with "puff puff puff" sounds, they transformed into black pythons, landing on the stage and dancing to the explosive music...

Amid the explosive atmosphere, Tang Qi looked towards the bar.

He immediately saw Savoy wearing the flamboyant "Golden Mask," currently flirting with a female guest.

Originally, Tang Qi was surprised that the Eight-Armed Bartender, who was completely engrossed in the "Extraordinary Drinks" business, would also be interested in the opposite sex?

Until he noticed that this female guest, her ribs startlingly also sporting four arms, and her face did not wear a mask.

However, her features were vastly different from human’s, having a very long face, cherry lips, slender eyes, an unremarkable nose, with skin that looked of excellent quality and radiated a faint glow.

"Savoy’s own kind!"

With this realization in mind, Tang Qi slowly walked over, decided to greet and then leave, not wanting to spoil the scene now that the flamboyant bartender had his "Heartthrob Girl."

As he approached, Savoy immediately looked over.

"Ah, Tang Qi is here."

"Lei, Lei come here, come and properly entertain your favorite Mr. Principal."

Amid the loud shouting, the previously seen human girl in a witch’s robe, directly abandoned her original guest and came running over to Tang Qi with "thump thump thump", her cute face full of excitement and unabashed adoration.

But the admired one currently had a face full of puzzlement.

Tang Qi also didn’t expect that not only had Savoy reached his "mating season," but he could also be shy.

Despite the absurdity, Tang Qi didn’t force himself to stay. Instead, he just gave Savoy a thumbs-up, laughed heartily, and then turned to follow Lei.

The two didn’t linger in the bar but returned to the inverted staircase, this time stopping on the "fifth floor."

The Old Tavern, the third underground level was the bar controlled by Savoy.

The second level was the duel arena!

The fourth level housed rooms available for short or long-term rent, where both human Transcendents and Extraordinary Monsters could stay as long as they obeyed the rules of the Old Tavern.

And the fifth level was Tang Qi’s goal for this visit, the trading center.

"Mr. Principal, this way, please!"

After descending the staircase, Lei, quite the lady, led the way ahead, which was also part of her provided service.

Following Lei, Tang Qi quickly took in the full view of the trading center.

A space several times larger than the bar, decorated much more lavishly and classically, with magic-pattern engraved red bricks, and soft-glowing Bokate hardwood as the primary materials, booth after booth arranged and extended all around, with an atmosphere no less intense than the bar’s, surged towards him.

In his ears, Lei’s introduction came.

"Mr. Principal, the trading center is the most important place within the Old Tavern, other than this marketplace, there are also three auction halls, dozens of private trading rooms, both parties can purchase the marketplace’s consulting and notary services, would you like to..."

"Let’s browse first!"

Tang Qi saw Lei’s questioning eyes, smiled, and first stepped into the marketplace.

About half an hour later, Tang Qi walked out with a somewhat disappointed expression.

Compared to Messer City’s "Mysterious Valley," the current marketplace was indeed higher-end, in both the types of Curios and the strength of the sellers.

With the aid of Special Abilities, Tang Qi had once again expanded much of his knowledge of Mysticism and even found some overlooked items to replenish his treasure vault, making up for some losses.

Unfortunately, what he wanted, an item containing the "Red Dragon Power", did not appear.

However, Tang Qi also knew that items related to the Dragon Clan were scarce. If such items were found just upon arriving at the marketplace, Tang Qi would have suspected whether Sally had returned and casually blessed him with some kind of witchcraft "Luck Blessing".

"Can I post a reward here?"

"Ah, yes!"

Lei, who was openly staring at her "idol," suddenly heard the question and hurriedly responded in a fluster.

Moments later, all the Transcendents in the trading center received the reward posted by Tang Qi:

"Seeking Curios related to the Red Dragon Power, whether it’s Divine Eagle Gold Coins, barter, or other forms of trade, all are possible.

Simple and straightforward, hard to refuse.
