Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 872 – Decoy

The Caloro City was a very special existence. From here on out, it was not far to the west, and it was the territory of the Pandora Kingdom. About two hundred kilometers to the east was the Acropolis Country, a small country with only a few million people. The Caloro City belonged to the Acropolis Sect in name, but it was never under their jurisdiction. On the contrary, this place could be considered the vanguard of the Asang nation’s defense against the other countries. Therefore, the support provided by the Asang nation to the Caloro City every year was a very large number.

Even the king of the Acropolis Kingdom had to be courteous in front of Jialou Huowu. Some people said that Jialou Huowu had already lived for a long time, and the reason she didn’t die was because she wasn’uman in the first place, but some demon spirit.

Of course, such rumors might not be believable.

The Acropolis was a small country, struggling to survive. However, other than the extremely domineering country of the Si Luo Country, they did not have much to worry about. Therefore, in the recent days, because Jialou Huowu had not been in the Caloro City, he became so restless. A team of 30,000 people had already set off, preparing to set off for Caloro City.

An Zheng and Qu Liuxi both left the Caloro City, heading towards the largest city on the western border of the Pane Nation … Jacobs is on the move. The two of them didn’t seem to worry about anything, holding hands and enjoying the desert scenery along the way. By the time they arrived at the Jacques City, the sky had already darkened, and after finding the biggest inn to stay in, they never left.

At daybreak on the second day, An Zheng brought Qu Liuxi and ate all sorts of beautiful western cuisine that could be eaten. There had never been a place thaerson from the Central Plains would appear in, and it quickly attracted some people’s attention. In the beginning, the boss of the tavern did not even dare to accept An Zheng as his residence. When An Zheng threw out a large chunk of gold, the owner immediately became hesitant. After throwing out the second piece of gold, the boss embarrassedly said, “Then don’t just randomly walk around.”

So from the looks of it, not everyone here believed in the people of zhengzong as much as they did.

An Zheng’s footsteps stopped at the entrance of an auction house, and after entering, he casually walked around. In a place where no one from the Central Plains had appeared, An Zheng was so eye-catching, and had long been secretly watched by the people from the zhengzong. However, they were worried that An Zheng’s blatant appearance would make him a Great Cultivator, so no one dared to act rashly, and waited for the orders from the higher ups.

An Zheng and Qu Liuxi walked into the auction house hand in hand. When the waiter saw the two Central Plains people inside, he was so scared that his legs went soft. He went up and begged them, “You two, quickly leave. It’s not a big deal if you guys are going to die, but if you implicate our auction house, then who are we going to find to get justice for? ”

An Zheng said: “Open the doors for business, you are a customer when you enter the door, how can you kick people out?”

The waitress said, “We won’t do your business.”

Right at this moment, the young man who had seen An Zheng in the Caloro City Inn once before lifted the curtain on the curtain and glanced at An Zheng through the crack, then gave a few instructions in a low voice. The boss of the auction house immediately walked out quickly, and loudly scolded the waiter before politely saying to An Zheng: “Your subordinate does not understand the rules, esteemed customer, do not be angry. “You’re right, they are all customers. What do you need?”

An Zheng replied: “Nothing, I was just casually looking around.”

He discovered that the auction houses in the Western Regions were similar to the ones in the Central Plains. The things in the shops in front of them were all substandard and nothing could catch his eyes.

“That’s it?”

An Zheng was a little dissatisfied.

The owner pointed to the items behind him, “Customer, you should know as well. How can you take out such good items so casually? They are all in the back.” If the guests are interested, can I take you to the back? ”

An Zheng nodded his head, “Since you’re already here, why don’t you look around and then leave?”

He and Qu Liuxi followed the owner and walked towards the back. The young man with a charming face was watching them from the shadows. The man frowned and pondered for a moment. He then ordered his underlings: “Go get Elder Beiger. Tell me a big fish which needs Elder Beiger’s fishing rod.”

The man quickly ran away, and the corner of the young man’s mouth curled up into a sneer. “I’ve fallen into his trap.”

When An Zheng entered the backyard, he realized that there was actually another dimension. The backyard at the back was so big it was somewhat out of the ordinary. What was even more amazing was that there were actually many plants growing in the backyard that only existed in the Great Xixi River. It was unknown how they managed to survive in this hot and dry desert. The pavilions, the small bridges, and the flowing water. No matter how he looked at it, he could only see the scenery of Jiangnan Garden. In this place, it was even more precious. This garden was divided into many areas, and each area was named after the characteristics of the Central Plains.

“This is the Ancient Elegance Pavilion.”

The boss introduced them as he walked, “Can you please take a look at the items here?”

An Zheng acknowledged, and the boss brought An Zheng in. Pushing open the bamboo fence door, the interior was filled with greenery. There were even dewdrops on the surrounding grass, which was completely inconsistent with the weather here. Inside the wattled fencing was a blossoming rose, and the pavilion was covered in green vines.

This courtyard seemed to be around six to seven acres in size. There were a lot of big trees, and around each big tree, there waing of display tables made of bamboo. Some strange stones were placed on the tables. It seemed like this was a stone gambling place, there were around 10 people inside, other than An Zheng and Qu Liuxi, there were no people from the Central Plains.

An Zheng walked around a big tree. He realised that the strangest thing was … There was something inside every rock. At the very least, it was a jade spirit stone. Judging by the price tag, no matter which one he bought, he would not lose out. So, would the auction house lose money doing business like this?

“There’ule here.”

The owner seemed to be able to see through An Zheng’s doubt, and explained while smiling: “The stones here all definitely have something inside, as for what comes out, it all depends on the customer’s luck. However, if you want to buy stones, you must prove your worth. ”

He pointed at the rocks. “Every rock here is not mine, but one that the customers put here. If you choose a stone, take it down, open it, and the loot will go to you. But even if it’s a kind of contract, you have to trade something with the owner of the stone. If the owner of the stone cannot afford what you took out, then he will have to compensate you for what you spent on buying the stone. ”

An Zheng thought to himself about what kind of messy rules were these.

He shook his head. “Not interested.”

“You must be seeing things.”

A burly Hu Man walked over and looked at An Zheng scornfully: “Are you not interested, or are you just ordinary? The items here are just a symbol of status. If you pick out the most valuable one among the stones, everyone will agree with your judgement. Therefore, there are many people who want to do business with you. However, looking at how poor you are, you probably don’t have much ability. ”

An Zheng looked at the fellow. The gold ornaments on his body weighed at least 10 jin. It wasn’t just him, all the men in the country seemed to like hanging gold on their bodies. A little further away, there was a chubby guy wearing clothes made of pure gold. Everyone looked awkward, but they were also extremely proud of it.

There was not a single ornament on An Zheng’s body.

The boss tried to smooth things over: “This is the son of our Prime Minister, Big Harpy. He is one of the most outstanding youths in our country. This is the first time the two of you have met, so it’s best that you get closer to each other. ”

Big Hobie shook his head. “I’m close to him? A lowly person from the Central Plains is not worthy to be my friend. ”

He pointed at An Zheng’s nose and said, “I understand the people of Central Plains the best. They were as cunning as foxes and as cowardly as rabbits. You want me to be friends with someone from the Central Plains? That would disgrace my identity, and also disgrace my character. ”

He waved his hand. “I don’t want to see him. Tell him to get lost.”

The boss went over and lowered his voice as he whispered a few words into’s ear. Big Huby was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at An Zheng. He looked like a sleeping lion that suddenly asked about the smell of meat. When he raised his head, he saw a fat white rabbit jumping over on its own …

“What? I humiliated you like this, yet you don’t intend to do anything?”

He walked back and looked down at An Zheng from a high vantage point.

An Zheng took a step back. Big Ha Bei thought An Zheng was afraid, so he took another step forward, “Are you afraid? What are you doing here? This is my territory, I can just stomp my foot and kill you. You can either get lost or kneel down and lick it. – My boots, I’ll spare your life. ”

An Zheng turned his head to look at Qu Liuxi, who smiled and nodded.

An Zheng heaved a sigh of relief: “If my wife does not nod her head, I really do not dare to do anything.”

He took a deep breath and looked at the boss, “Amongst those stones, which one of them belongs to this Master Big Harpy?”

The boss looked at Big Harby, who nodded in disdain. The owner brought the big hobbit rock from under the tree for An Zheng to see. An Zheng waved his hand: “There is no need to look, inside iiece of red spirit stone that is 3 jin 3 jin, it is of good quality, almost circular in shape, but there is a little flaw on it, so it is considered to be middle quality.”

Big Harpy’s expression changed and he looked at the boss. “Cut it open!”

The boss immediately sent people to cut the rock, and after a while, he cut oued spirit stone, it was exactly as An Zheng said. An Zheng asked the boss, “In other words, this means that I can do business with this noble young master Ha Bi?”

The shop owner nodded, “That’s right. If Young Noble Hobbit is unable to purchase the thing that you took out, he can only give you this piece of spirit stone.” Similarly, if you want to buy something from His Highness, he cannot refuse, unless you cannot afford it. ”

An Zheng responded with an “oh” as he leisurely took out Chen Shaobai’s Scythe of Death from the Blood Pearl’s space and placed it on the table, “Come buy it.”

At the beginning, Big Ha Bi looked at An Zheng with contempt, but after he walked to the front of the Scythe of Death to look for a while, his face suddenly changed: “Why do I feel that this thing looks like a Purple-Rank Divine Artifact?”

An Zheng sat down and looked at Big Ha Bi witale face: “It’s alright, if you can’t afford it, you can only give me a red rank spirit stone. However, his reputation was not good. The son of the Prime Minister, he couldn’t afford to buy it … “Tsk tsk tsk tsk …”

“How do I know if your item is fake!”

An Zheng kept the Scythe of Death and pulled Qu Liuxi’s hands out: “Let’s go, I saw these people wearing the gold like clothes, I thought that the people of the Luo Province were rich, but now I know that if we put all of the treasures on, if we strip, we will lose the family.” Let him see our things. “Let’s return to the Central Plains. The people here, even the things that you look at, are all given to me by me.”

“You’re not allowed to leave!”

Big Happy stepped forward, “Leave your things behind and you can get lost!”

An Zheng laughed: “Are you sure you want to steal it?”

“Shut the door for me. Let me see what this Central Plains dog is capable of!”

An Zheng smiled even more brilliantly than before: “Believe me, you’ve made the wrong decision.”
