Chapter 049: High Magical Empty Ring
"If possible, I really want to return your empty ring." Dad Ganli looked at Huo Lei, and the expression on his face became a little strange. Huo Lei couldn't even tell whether it was sad or excited, or both: "That's a high-demonic empty ring!"
"What?" The last words of Old Man Ganli were almost unheard, but Huole still heard them clearly. Because he heard them clearly, Huole asked again as if he had not heard them clearly: "What did you say?"
"High Demonic Air Ring!" Old Man Gan Li's eyes widened, as if he wanted to eat Huo Lei in one bite: "I can't figure out what level of high Demonic Air Ring it is! Because I have never heard of such a high Demonic Air Ring there! Moreover, it is a high Demonic Air Ring of that level!"
Dad Ganli finished what he wanted to say incoherently, then sat on another high stool, panting while lowering his voice and saying to himself: "Damn, I really deserve a glass of blue liquor!"
Horay nodded, no wonder Mr. Ganli wanted to meet him in the tavern.
Although Huole was shocked by Dad Ganli's words, Huole also understood the reason why Dad Ganli showed that panic and nervous expression.
According to the tongue twister-like speech of Mr. Ganli, the space ring sold to him by Horley is undoubtedly a rare treasure, and its value is far beyond the scope of Mr. Ganli's ability to operate. This priceless treasure not only makes it difficult for Mr. Ganli to find a suitable buyer, but it has become a very dangerous thing to hold it itself.
Even if there are only a few people - such as high-level masters - who can use them, many people will take risks to snatch them. The South District has never lacked adventurers who usually act as mercenaries and occasionally play robbers. The prosperity and stability of Gaia City has always been lacking in chaos and evil. I just don’t know if this is the real reason why the Temple Church, which advocates kindness and order, has such a market in the continent of Herrantes.
Even a serious buyer who really needs that empty ring, you can't guarantee whether he will have some bad intentions and what kind of strength to do business. This makes sense. Just as Huolei considered before coming to the magic store, if the cost of taking risks is far greater than the expected future benefits, then the smart businessman will choose a safe trading method, but the current situation is just the opposite. When the immediate benefits are far greater than the cost of taking risks, even a fool will choose to take risks!
In a word, Huo Lei understands this truth.
"Then I really should congratulate you! Dad Ganli! You've made a fortune!" Huo Lei also widened his eyes and then made a look of annoyance: "Oh! I lost! I wouldn't have sold it to you so cheap if I had known it would have been!"
"You little brat! You still say sarcastic words at this time!" Dad Ganli couldn't help but knocked Huo Lei on the head: "Do you really don't know the attributes of that empty ring in advance?"
"How is that possible!" Huo Lei spread his hands and shrugged exaggeratedly: "With such a treasure, how could I sell it! Even if I sell it, it won't be sold for only 12,000 gold coins!"
As he said that, Huo Lei put down his hand, and the exaggerated expression on his face deliberately made a little restrained, and continued, "Speaking of it, isn't the high-demonic empty ring that can be stored--oh, this statement may not be so accurate, but that's what it means - isn't it just a living creature? Dad Ganli has seen the world, and it's not just this high-demonic empty ring in Gaia City. What's wrong with you? Sell it away!"
Dad Ganli opened his mouth, and suddenly seemed to swallow a fly, and he stopped talking and was about to feel nauseous and vomiting.
"I really don't know how to tell you." Dad Ganli took a lot of effort to speak: "Little Huolei, you sold that ring to me. The reason why I made this deal with you means I still believe you. So, I asked you about the origin of the empty ring. Do you refuse to tell me because you don't believe me?"
"I can't tell you the origin of that ring." Holei shook his head slightly and firmly: "But, Dad Ganli, I can use my life, I can use the lives of all my friends in my family as a guarantee. I will never let trouble come to you from me. Whether you are worried or not, I can definitely do this!"
Looking at Horay's extremely serious and decisive look, Dad Ganli immediately fell into a state of being speechless again.
"Okay, although you rejected me, I still believe you, Little Hole!" Finally, Dad Ganli actually chuckled softly. All the tension and panic just now disappeared, as if he had made up some decision: "If you don't look at it with your own eyes, you won't understand why I'm so nervous. Come on, Little Hole, let's take a look at the high magical air ring you sold to me!"
As he said that, Dad Ganli stood up and walked behind the counter, and signaled that Horay followed him. On a cabinet behind the counter that was only a little taller than Horay, a copper statue of Alina, the goddess of sun. Dad Ganli asked Horay to lean against the edge of the cabinet, and used his feet to push some debris on the ground aside, then reached out to put his hand on the statue of the goddess, and turned it hard, and with a "boom", the ground between the cabinet and the counter suddenly collapsed.
A dark underground passage entrance is presented in front of Horay and Dad Ganli.
"Come with me, little Holei!" As he said that, Dad Ganli came to the entrance and then climbed down the stairs. Dad Ganli stood by the side and hesitated for a moment, then followed Dad Ganli down.
The stone slab above his head made another sound and closed it again. Although the underground passage was dim, it could still see the objects, and the light was transmitted from the bottom of the stone stairs. Therefore, after a few stone steps were taken, Huo Lei followed Mr. Ganli to an underground stone chamber.
The furnishings of the underground stone room are very simple. Compared to the messy counter above, the wooden desk in the middle is very precious and clean. There are three chairs next to it. The two shelves against the wall are placed with a few magic items, which seem to be relatively precious. However, it is obvious that the space ring is not on the row of shelves, because Dad Ganli walked straight to the desk and sat down on a chair.
Horay also pulled a chair and sat down. Seeing Dad Ganli take off a space ring from his finger, Horay was a little surprised. Dad Ganli would not just sway his very nervous air ring on his hand.
Of course not.
Dad Ganli gently wiped the empty ring and looked at his gesture. It was just the most ordinary low-demon air ring. Then a small wooden box appeared on the desk. Dad Ganli reached out to open the wooden box. Huo Lei looked in and saw nothing.
Then Dad Ganli took out a small bottle from his body, poured out a little of the powder inside, and gently scattered it on the small box. Huolei felt a flash in front of him. The small box disappeared, and another hollow lie quietly in the center of the desk.
It's an illusion!
It seems that Mr. Ganli’s protective measures are done well, but Horay still underestimated the degree of caution of Mr. Ganli. Mr. Ganli picked up the empty ring that was protected by some kind of illusion and wiped it again.
That is a mid-demonic air ring.
Huo Lei suddenly wanted to laugh. The low-demon air ring set in the middle of the magic air ring set in the high-demon air ring sounded like a joke about taking out a note of a large box set in the middle of the box set in the small box. Fortunately, this time, Dad Ganli did not wipe the empty ring taken out from the magic air ring, but gently hooked it with his fingers and placed it in front of Huo Lei.
"Oh!" Huo Lei widened his eyes: "Is this the empty ring I sold to you?"
No matter what kind of magical degree, the appearance is the same, so Huolei can only ask this.
"Yes!" Old Man Ganli's fingers trembled slightly, as if he was holding not a ring, but a bomb that could explode at any time.
"I can't see anything special about it." Horay told the truth.
"You will know what's special when you go in." As he said that, Dad Ganli put the empty ring on the table and stood up from the chair.
"Get in?" Huolei was surprised: "You mean you want to enter this empty ring? We?"
"Of course, this is a high-demonic empty ring that can accommodate life bodies." Dad Ganli simply reached out and pulled Holei up from the chair. The two stood beside the desk. Dad Ganli's other hand touched the high-demonic empty ring on the table. Dad Ganli was not mentally prepared and tried to break free from Dad Ganli's palm. A faint light emitted from the crown of the ring enveloped him and Dad Ganli.
The faint light looked extremely dazzling in Huolei's eyes. A dizzy feeling suddenly grabbed Huolei tightly, making him stagger for a few steps. Of course, it seemed that Huolei had no idea whether he had actually moved from his original position.
There was a white spot in front of him, and Huole couldn't even tell whether his eyes were open or closed. Dad Ganli, who had just held his palm, didn't know where he went. Huole only felt that he was in an absolutely static world. The static feeling made him completely lose his support and reference for the feelings up, down, left, left, and front and back, as if he accidentally would fall down his head - if the direction his head was now "up".
"Horley!"
