Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 182 - : The Second Sheepskin Scroll
Chapter 182: Chapter 182: The Second Sheepskin Scroll
“No problem, my guest.”
Savoy, who was wearing a mask, had a tone filled with the thrill of a small scheme succeeding.
Quickly, another glass of “Mud Wine” appeared in front of Tang Qi.
Without hesitation, he picked it up and drank it in one gulp.
However, this time, the effect that was triggered was not “Agile Thinking,” but drowsiness.
As the slippery feeling came over him, a strong urge to sleep flooded Tang Qi’s mind; if he followed this sensation, he had a premonition he would get a really good sleep. Much like right now, where three Extraordinary People were snoring loudly next to Tang Qi amidst their slumber.
Although their bodies were shrouded in mist, the snoring was something the fog couldn’t stop.
However, Tang Qi just shook his head, activated the Melting Furnace Power inside his body, and dispelled the drowsiness.
Afterwards, Tang Qi did not ask for another drink.
He clearly realized that “Agile Thinking” was just one effect among many in the Mysterious Cocktail, and it probably had a slim chance of being triggered.
If he wanted to experience it again, he’d have to keep buying drinks.
Savoy’s little plot, this peculiar bartender, was not just an expert in mixing drinks but also remarkable at selling them.
Since it wasn’t a guaranteed effect, Tang Qi decided not to continue the experience. He turned his attention to the exotic fruit platter. Compared to the Mysterious Cocktail, this platter better reflected the strength of the Extraordinary Organization behind the “Mysterious Valley Market.”
Now, Tang Qi was quite certain: this was definitely a large organization.
A regular Extraordinary Organization, even ones like the Mellon Family or the Hastu Club, couldn’t gather extraordinary items from different regions of Origin Blue Star in a short period, even if the items were just fruits with a bit of Extraordinary Power.
But the organization behind the market had done just that.
And they were very good at business.
Tang Qi quickly put all the fruits from the platter into his mouth.
Then he sequentially experienced spicy, illusion, nausea, happiness, drowsiness, excitement, and many other states. For ordinary people, any of these would be an intense sensation, but for Extraordinary People, it was just the right amount.
However, Tang Qi didn’t continue to try other attractions in the bar.
Even though bunny girls would come to serve him as soon as he left the bar,
Tang Qi, looking through the wooden window of the bar at the increasingly bustling market outside, did not delay any longer. After leaving a message to Savoy, the bartender, saying, “Looking forward to the next surprise,” Tang Qi left the bar under the bartender’s regretful eyes, who hadn’t been able to fleece him.
Compared to experiencing Extraordinary Drinks and special food, “bargain hunting” was more attractive to Tang Qi.
As the market was held more frequently, Tang Qi could feel it.
More and more Transcendents were coming to the market.
Moreover, through some clothes, accents, or the sale of Curios, Tang Qi could also tell that the market’s reach was expanding.
Gradually, it seemed as if the whole Secret Phoenix State was beginning to be encompassed.
For Tang Qi, this was undoubtedly good news.
However, for tonight, his luck seemed to have run out.
Apart from the Witch’s Dust, he didn’t encounter any more surprises.
He simply stocked up on a batch of Secret Medicine Materials at the regular price. After confirming there would be no more gains, Tang Qi didn’t linger at the market. Carrying a large bag of materials, he once again boarded the Ghost Carriage and headed towards the abandoned estate in the Rotten Truffle Forest.
Inside the sealed carriage, apart from the light, he was alone.
Without feeling any jostling, Tang Qi thought for a moment, exhaled, and then suddenly took out a parchment roll from his bosom.
“Hmm”
As his spiritual power made contact with a certain pattern on the sheepskin scroll,
A burst of light flickered, filling what was previously a blank space with lines of small characters.
It was a catalog.
Titled with event numbers, it recorded the deeds of gods from the last hundred years before the implementation of the Federation New Calendar, whether it was an Evil God or a True God.
Before purchasing the sheepskin scroll, Tang Qi already had some hunches.
And after drinking the “Mysterious Cocktail,” Tang Qi almost confirmed the identity of one Evil God.
With a thought, he selected one of the entries.
A large chunk of information suddenly exploded on the sheepskin scroll, seeming to chronicle an ancient event.
“About ten years before the implementation of the Federation New Calendar, outside a certain village, a Mysterious Person suddenly appeared, selling an ‘Evolution Potion’ to all the villagers, claiming it could grant a perfect body and render them fearless of any diseases.”
“One villager, on the brink of death from a severe illness, bought the potion skeptically, but after drinking it, he indeed recovered and even became incredibly strong. With this first case, the rest of the villagers joined in droves, becoming Believers and began to assist the Mysterious Person in spreading to towns and cities.”
“The Evolution Potion spread like wildfire, sweeping through at least several cities of the East Federation, along with a vast surrounding area of human settlements, ultimately leading to tragedy.”
“The Mysterious Person sold the potion at a low price, with the only requirement being those who drank it must join a religion called ‘Perfect Spirit’ and offer their faith to an unknown Divine. Due to the miraculous effects of the potion, Perfect Spirit grew rapidly.”
“Until one day, the religion’s High Priest, the Mysterious Person, encountered a Confessor named Martin Sims, and a battle ensued. In order to combat the Confessor, the Mysterious Person triggered some sort of Prohibition within all Believers, channelling all power into themselves, only to be suppressed and sealed by Sims.”
“‘Evolution Potion… Perfect Spirit… Unknown Divine… Martin Sims'”
When these elements came together, Tang Qi confirmed his speculation.
The Source of Power of the Hastu Club might be related to the original Perfect Spirit sect.
That is to say, it all related to that mysterious Divine.
The organization behind the market seemed to truly know the name of that Divine.
But Tang Qi did not purchase that piece of intelligence, because there was no benefit in doing so.
Knowing the name of a Divine could indeed inflict some harm on them if used correctly, but Tang Qi was not at that level.
If he accidentally recited the name of that Evil God, there was a chance of striking it big.
Once noticed, almost certain death was inevitable.
Tang Qi was not a brainless high school student, and so he didn’t intend to court death.
He had only bought the data to confirm his suspicions, and then prepared to find an opportunity to remind Hall and Sith, the two true strong; “shields” who were much stronger than Stanna.
…
After getting off the carriage, leaving the Rotten Truffle Forest, Tang Qi switched back to his original form.
He briskly returned to the urban area, and couldn’t help but smile as he entered the school district — those second-generation rich kids who had been shamelessly outplayed by an “old antique” from a hundred years ago indeed didn’t have the guts to keep courting death; peace should last for a few days.
Tang Qi entered the small building and stored away those materials.
He approached the workbench and took out the second sheepskin scroll from his bosom.
His true purpose for going to the market tonight.
He needed an Extraordinary Creature that met the requirements and could assist him.
Hmm, two would also be acceptable.
Three… he should be able to afford to keep as well.

As Tang Qi opened the sheepskin scroll, such were the thoughts in his mind.
