Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 2991
Chapter 2991: Chapter 1635: Lord and the Market_2
“Yo, isn’t this Brother N?”
The leading unfamiliar Administrator looked down at our side’s Administrator from on high, speaking with a hint of mockery: “I heard Brother N recently latched onto a sturdy thigh, so you finally don’t have to be stripped of your post by the Elders Council. Truly, congratulations.”
Judging from the majestic aura pouring off him, this Administrator was clearly also at the Demigod Level, and even the two Market Guard Captains behind him were the same. As for the other Market Guards, they were all at Half-step Tier 7, likewise not to be underestimated.
In stark contrast to them was our side’s Administrator. You had to know, his strength was only at Tier 6 Peak, not even matching the ordinary Market Guards here.
“Hehe, Brother A, long time no see.”
Our Administrator was obviously long used to the other party’s lofty tone and only offered a simple greeting.
After gaining Leo Ray’s support, his back was clearly much straighter. If this had been before, he would probably already be bobbing his head and bowing with fawning greetings.
It was no wonder. After all, Administrator A was the Chief Administrator of the Shadow Market, whereas N was merely the one ranked at the bottom. The difference in status between the two went without saying.
“And this must be the Human Your Majesty who has been in the limelight lately, right?”
Administrator A quickly turned his gaze to Leo Ray, nodded slightly, and said, “I’ve heard about how the Human Your Majesty led your people to eradicate the Broken Wing King. It truly is admirable.”
When Administrator A said this, he did not have the tone of contempt he used on N just now, but genuinely showed a trace of respect.
In fact, he hadn’t only heard about it. At the time, he had been hiding near the Broken Wing Kingdom’s Royal Capital, watching from start to finish as our Grand Army thoroughly routed the enemy.
Although he was not a Commander commanding an army himself, he could still clearly see that our side had fought this battle beautifully, enough to be called an epic war.
But that was all. As an Administrator who frequently dealt with the Princes and Nobles of First-class forces and top powerhouses, even if Leo Ray was now the number one person just beneath the First-class forces, it still wasn’t enough to make him truly look up.
“Administrator A, Your Excellency flatters me.”
Leo Ray responded with a faint smile and did not say more.
He understood very well that in a place where strength and foundation were supreme, any amount of words was hollow. As long as you put down corresponding strength, you would naturally gain the other side’s respect.
“Then please enjoy this Special Market to the fullest, Human Your Majesty. It’ll be hard to get opportunities like this in the future.”
Administrator A nodded slightly, then pointed toward the other end of the Square, the liveliest area, where many powerhouses had already set up stalls.
With that said, he took his leave and went off to attend to other guests from First-class forces.
“Tch, what’s so great about him.”
Our Administrator first rolled his eyes at Administrator A’s retreating back, then said to Leo Ray, “Your Majesty, then I shall wait for you in the lounge.”
As an Administrator, and considering that this was another Administrator’s turf, our Administrator naturally could not wander about here with Leo Ray, nor could he chat with guests from other First-class forces. Otherwise, it would look like he was poaching Administrator A’s clients, a major taboo between Administrators.
“We’ll meet again in a while.”
Leo Ray gave a slight nod and led the powerhouses under his command toward the bustling area of the Market.
During this time, the other participating powerhouses from our side were also being teleported in one after another, either joining the group or lingering around Leo Ray. After all, there were over fifty of our powerhouses attending. If they all clustered right beside Leo Ray, it would be a bit too conspicuous.
When they came near the Market, Leo Ray noticed more details.
The aura of the powerhouses running stalls here was almost all above Half-step Tier 7, with quite a few Demigods among them. Most wore Hooded caps that concealed their faces, making them look rather mysterious.
“These guys are almost all individual experts from the various First-class forces. Because conflicts frequently break out between the First-class forces and they’re mutually hostile, they mostly conceal their identities to better conduct trade, so others can’t see where they’re from.”
Moli, who had put her pink Hooded cap back on, tiptoed to Leo Ray’s side and explained: “Furthermore, these people are all somewhat famous powerhouses within their First-class forces. By hiding their identities like this, not only do they avoid being targeted for carrying Secret Treasures, it’s also far more convenient when haggling over prices, since they don’t have to worry about saving face.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Leo Ray lightly raised an eyebrow and continued looking around.
He saw that the dazzling array of stalls was piled high with all kinds of items: Magic Crystals, Advanced Ore, various Heavenly treasures—everything one could wish for. There were even occasional appearances of Magical Potion Formula, Equipment Blueprint, and even Building Blueprint.
As for finished equipment of all kinds, Magic Scrolls, and Magic Medicine, there were plenty on display as well, making many passing powerhouses stop to inquire and even start haggling.
“Interesting. Looks like there really are some good things here.”
At a glance, Leo Ray spotted nearly ten brand-new, un-upgraded Sixth-order Equipment pieces, just laid out openly on the stalls.
Those would all be coveted treasures out in the outside world. If someone didn’t have the strength to back it, they could very well draw fatal trouble over such items.
Yet these stall owners were all calm and composed, clearly unconcerned that any guest would try to snatch them.
Again, no surprise. This was the Shadow Market after all. Everyone invited was a figure with status. Even if their faces were covered, if the Shadow Market decided to investigate, it would be an easy matter.
Besides, if the Shadow Market didn’t open the Gate and Barrier, then even if someone got away with something, they wouldn’t be able to escape.
Thinking this, Leo Ray glanced around at the many Market Guards patrolling back and forth.
He had to admit, there was a reason the Shadow Market had been able to stand firm ever Since the Blank Era.
“All right, everyone split up and look for what we need. Once you fancy something, just take it down directly.”
Leo Ray nodded to the accompanying powerhouses and gave his instructions.
Before coming here, he had already assigned tasks to everyone, listed the items our side needed, and prepared corresponding goods for trade.
The Market here was rather large, so there was no need for Leo Ray to handle everything himself, nor did he have that much time.
“By your command, Lord!”
Hollis, Lila, and the others pressed a hand to their chest in salute, then quickly led the other tribal leaders to split up and act.
Leo Ray, meanwhile, began strolling through the Market at an unhurried pace.
He had only walked a few steps when a voice that was clearly disguised reached his ears: “Your Excellency, I’ve got some good stuff here. Want to take a look?”
Following the sound, he saw a stall owner in an orange Hooded cap waving at him enthusiastically.
In front of the stall was a pile of ordinary items like common ore and Magical Plants, completely ignored by everyone.
“This is just a pile of junk.”
Moli sized up the stall, and after seeing the low-quality ore and the yellowing, withered Magical Plants, she slightly furrowed her Melody Lyon and said, “That orange-robed guy definitely thinks we’re easy marks, that’s why he called out to us. He’s surely trying to take advantage of us!”
“Then I want to see just what he’s really selling in his gourd.”
Leo Ray lightly raised an eyebrow and walked straight up to the stall.
The main reason Leo Ray came over was because he had sensed that the other party was a Demigod and shouldn’t only have this pile of trash.
And even in the worst case, if the other side really was that poor and had nothing decent to offer, giving him a bit of benefit and making his acquaintance wouldn’t be a bad thing either.
“Hehe, Your Excellency truly has an eye for gold.”
Seeing Leo Ray walk over, a glint of slyness flashed in the orange-robed stall owner’s eyes hidden in the shadows.
