"Dear customer, the virtual connection has been completed."

"Please start your trading journey. Miyamoto Auction House wishes you to get what you want and trade what you want."

"You can stand on the nearby circular altar and leave this exchange at any time."

Li Guanqi slowly opened his eyes.

What caught his eye was a mirror.

But in the mirror, he was now covered in a black robe and his face could not be seen clearly.

"Forehead."

Li Guanqi opened his hood and found a black translucent soul under the hood. No wonder he couldn't see his face clearly, because there was no face at all.

"This is the virtual trading mechanism of Miyamoto Auction House."

Li Guanqi looked down at his hands and muttered to himself.

"A special magic weapon, based on the soul, separates a ray of soul power to form a virtual character, and then communicates over a long distance in a place similar to an illusion. Afterwards, the items are physically traded at the auction house."

"It's a bit like uploading consciousness to a server and then communicating in a virtual place...the metaverse? Ha."

"interesting."

Li Guanqi shook his head and laughed, then turned around, pushed open the door of the mirror room, and walked out completely.

What appeared in front of him was not a lively scene.

Because there are not many people here, at most a hundred people, gathering in a place similar to a luxury shopping mall. Some people are walking around, and some are just sitting there. There is a sign next to it that says what he sells and what he recycles.

something.

Everyone looks exactly the same, they are all black-robed souls, without any difference in appearance.

It stands to reason that everyone's soul aura is completely different, but the aura of every soul body Li Guanqi feels here is completely the same, there is no difference, and there is no difference in strength. They are all the lowest-level souls that are extremely weak.

body.

"So...where is that guy?"

Li Guanqi wandered around the area, going over to take a look every time he saw someone selling something.

However, after looking through all the sellers at the fair, he could not find the person he was looking for.

"Didn't come."

Li Guanqi accepted this reality with some regret.

But this doesn't mean it's over.

This free trade fair is not over yet and will continue until the end of today.

Li Guanqi found a place to sit down, always paying attention to whether any new souls came in nearby.

This wait lasted more than 6 hours.

During this period, more than a dozen new people came one after another, but they were either here to buy things, or they were selling things other than the soul magic weapon.

Until Li Guanqi was about to give up.

A black-robed soul found a place to sit down with a sign next to it.

[Selling: Seventh-level soul defense weapon.]

[Request: Help me decipher a piece of text.]

"Um?"

Li Guanqi hesitated.

Decipher text?

But Miyamoto Sanlin was talking about cracking a strange object.

Is this a person?

"Hello."

Li Guanqi decided to go forward and ask. He walked up to the black-robed soul body and sent out his soul thoughts, "Is this soul defense weapon of yours the Demonic Cat's Eye that you bought from Miyamoto's auction house 2 months ago?"

?”

The Eye of the Demonic Cat is the name of the seventh-level soul defense weapon.

"yes."

The black-robed soul nodded, "But I don't want money, I want to decipher a text."

"Word?"

Li Guanqi was a little surprised, "But your request a few days ago was to crack an item."

"Yes."

The black-robed soul nodded again, "But I found someone to help me open the ancient box last night. This text was seen from that item. I need someone to help me decipher it.

The man helped me break the seal and opened the box, but he didn't want the eyes of the black cat, so I gave him something else.

the same as you.

If you can help me decipher this text, I can give you anything you want."

"What text?"

Li Guanqi was very curious, "Aren't there only two kinds of languages ​​in the world, Eastern and Western?"

"The frog in the well!"

The black-robed soul was obviously very disdainful, "There are so many written languages ​​in the old era. You don't even know this kind of thing, so why are you trying to decipher it? Let's go, let's go! Don't waste my time!"

"..."

Li Guanqi was speechless for a moment.

I'm going to tell you about the new era's concepts. If you despise me, then I'll show my hand.

I am from the old times.

"Show me first!"

Li Guanqi said.

"What can you understand?!"

The black-robed soul was obviously a little unhappy. He didn't believe that Li Guanqi could decipher it at all, but he still turned over the board next to him and displayed a piece of text on it:

Ανμεσίδη?,καιεγwσε.

συμενβλεφαροισιδεδορκα?,αλλεγwουβλεφαροι?,ουγαρεχwβλεφαρα.

Ανδεθελη?,λαλεwφwνη?διχα.

σοίγαρυπαρχείφwνη,εμοιδεματηνχείλεανοιγομενα.

"Forehead……"

Li Guanqi was speechless for a moment.

What the hell is this?

It looks like English letters, but he has received compulsory education after all. This thing is obviously not in English... What's more, if it were in English, this old man wouldn't come out and ask.

"Recognizable?"

The black-robed soul asked in a deep voice.

"Sir, I have a question."

Li Guanqi said in surprise: "You don't go to the masters who study ancient studies to ask about this kind of thing, but you come to this trade fair to ask?"

"Because I am a master of ancient studies."

The black-robed soul's voice was calm, "As for why you come here to ask? Because...heh, try your luck, that ancient box has troubled me for hundreds of years.

But just yesterday, I found a seven-star stranger here.

Although her cultivation level is not high, she still helped me break the seal, so I thought that this place might be my blessed place, so I wanted to continue coming here to try my luck."

"???"

Li Guanqi's complexion changed slightly.

"Seven Stars", "Not High Cultivation".

So where does this old man come from?

"Okay, let's go."

The black-robed soul waved his hand, "I see you can't decipher it, so don't waste my time."

"..."

Li Guanqi did not move, but looked at the text on the board, frowning slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
