There was no knocking. With Blackie's hearing, he wouldn't be so bad as to miss a voice speaking right next to the door.
Most demons do not have the habit of knocking on doors.
Because many demons don't even have hands.
Or... there's simply no way in the environment you grow up in.
Sleeping in the bushes, sleeping in the caves, sleeping in the swamps, sleeping on the water—no matter where it is, it's impossible.
“Come in,” the black man said.
The door opened, and a subordinate entered to report.
"A stranger requests an audience."
"Okay, let him come over," the black man agreed.
It should be about time.
A young man dressed in a black robe with a hood, his face hidden in the darkness, stepped into the room.
A hood can't completely cover your face and it can also obstruct your vision. Wearing one is just to minimize the number of demons who can see your face.
"Sit down." The black man grinned, revealing his white teeth.
The moment it spoke, the subordinate placed a chair from the side of the room behind the young man.
"Guests who have come from afar, have you found what you were looking for today?" the black man asked politely.
"No," came An Yi's cool voice. "You should know what we're looking for, right?"
After all, the heroes neither hid nor deliberately avoided anything.
"The Lord of No Form";
It all started when it stole the [Formless].
The black man said with a smile;
"It's as if everything in the future was planned out in advance. Taking the [Formless] as the starting point, they chose to steal this one among many valuable magical items."
The Lord of No Form was originally someone else, but after that little thief stole it, the title seemed to have been stolen by the little thief as well, and slowly it became the little thief's title.
The petty thief doesn't steal anything particularly valuable; he always chooses magical items that are hard to spot in corners, and then takes them to another distant city to resell.
By the time everyone in the black market realized what was happening, it had already left and moved to another city.
"In the black market, its bounty is particularly high, and you can exchange [Formless] for any two magical items of the same level."
Hiss... Even for me, this is quite tempting.
Okay, I've said a bit too much.
"What brings you here, guest?"
It deliberately adopted a humble posture, as if mocking An Yi, saying that even when they were on their own turf, they still had to rely on themselves, and that these outsiders ultimately had to rely on it.
An Yi seemed not to understand its sarcastic tone and said expressionlessly, "If you know, then there's no need to explain further."
To put it bluntly, I want to bring out the [Lord of No Form].
This is something you need to do.
"Are you sure the other party is in this city?" the black man suddenly asked in a serious tone.
If the other party is indeed in the city, it can secretly contact the lord without saying a word, seal off the city, and launch a large-scale search.
Find the target as quickly as possible and take control before other organizations realize its purpose.
At that time, you can have 40% or 60% gold coins, or 30% or 70% gold coins, and one magic item of each kind.
The lord wouldn't turn against the Black Ghost for a single magical item; the other party would also weigh the pros and cons.
"uncertain."
"what?"
However, Annie's answer instantly shattered the black man's beautiful illusion.
An Yi continued, "However, if you do as I say, as long as the other party is in this city, they will definitely show up."
"How do we do it?" the black man asked.
Chapter 175 Even the black guys said it was wonderful!
"Do as I say, and as long as the other party is in this city, they will definitely show up."
"How do we do it?" the black man asked, puzzled.
The premise is that the other party is in this city, but whether the other party is actually there is completely unknown.
The black man added another point;
"Guests, although I'd like to do you a favor, there are some things that are too troublesome..."
The allure of the Lord of No Form is immense.
That's why it wanted to try and find out something from An Yi.
such as……
Have these outsiders already obtained accurate intelligence?
It is now completely confirmed that the [Lord of No Form] is in this city.
An Yi just said "uncertain," so it's turning the tables on her.
Unsure, right?
If I'm not sure, then I won't make a move.
It didn't think that this outsider would break off relations with it because of this.
The fact that black people may consider the consequences and compromise does not mean they are easy targets to be manipulated.
"Reveal to the information brokers that you are looking for the [Lord of No Form]."
An Yi said directly;
"Then find a venue that can accommodate hundreds of demons, hold a press conference, and the content is how to find the [Lord of No Form]."
The black man was taken aback at first.
Then his eyes widened in the darkness, as if he had figured something out. Realizing his lapse in composure, he quickly regained his normal gaze.
It smiled and said, "Wonderful."
Brilliant! Brilliant plan!
Troublesome? Not at all. It only needs to give the order for these two things, and everything will be taken care of.
It doesn't need to bow down to lords or cooperate with other organizations.
Just as An Yi said, if the other party is really in this city, they will definitely show up.
You only need to say two sentences to lure the other person out!
The brilliance of this plan lies in the fact that even if the other party knows it's a trap, they will definitely infiltrate it by transforming into some kind of demon.
The other party knows that others will not recognize it, so they will swagger in to see what this so-called press conference is all about.
A venue completely controlled by a black man, whose only task is to figure out how to deal with the magical artifact, the "Formless."
You can try to disable this magical item, or you can use other magical items to see through the disguise.
Even if we can confirm that the [Lord of No Form] is in the city, the search area is the entire city, and mobilizing a large force may not yield good results.
however……
An Yi's plan, however, allowed him to limit his target to a few hundred demons!
Even if the target isn't in this city, and all its attacks hit thin air, it won't cause much damage!
As for the time of the meeting, An Yi doesn't need to say it, it already knows.
Within just a few days of receiving the payment.
Due to the special nature of the demon race, successfully bid items will be received and delivered confidentially in stages, and the payment will only be released to the seller after delivery.
This is also the time when sellers can start listing items for auction.
The number of items auctioned at a single auction is limited. Those who arrive early will be the first to pass the authentication process, while those who arrive too late may be relegated to the next auction.
Therefore, those who are eager to sell and make money will definitely time their auctions to be released at the right time.
All of this is based on the premise that the [Lord of No Form] is in this city.
If they really are there, they will be the ones in the most urgent need, whether it's for payment or delivery.
The other party needs to convert the stolen goods into cash before the list of stolen goods arrives.
Investigating the most urgent group of people is useless because they can freely change their appearance, and it is very difficult to delay each of the four sellers for too long.
However, holding a press conference would not only draw out the other party, but also give "Blackie" enough time to do more things.
For example, prepare a large-scale spell that interferes with magical artifacts.
That's not something you can get done in the seller's reception area.
It's also impossible to use it for every seller.
The venue for the press conference, however, was just right.
"The guest's sudden suggestion has been incredibly helpful to me, Blackie. But... what are the guest's conditions?" Blackie grinned, showing his white teeth.
“We’ll split it equally,” An Yi said calmly.
"Deal." The black man laughed heartily.
He had already planned to cooperate with the lord, and he even had a 37% chance of success.
This outsider is something else; he just wants to split it equally!
“Generous,” Annie said.
To say it would be split equally is definitely a lie.
An Yi's only goal from the beginning was the [Formless], so why would she hand over the [Formless] in exchange for other magical items?
