Chapter 209 Trading
"Newcomer?" The skull-like "player" had two soul flames dancing in his eye sockets, showing some interest in Lucian. He slowly opened his mouth, and the bones in his lower jaw slightly dropped, as if he was smiling. "Shall we go talk in detail? After all, I need to check and test your goods first."

After a pause, he added, "You don't need to worry about me playing any tricks. After all, any transaction here is witnessed by His Excellency the Judge."

“‘Witness’?” Lucian pondered the word in his mind, feeling that it might be related to the “Judge’s” training system or promotion requirements.

But he didn't say much. After pausing for two seconds, he stared at the skeleton in front of him. "You can call me 'Shadow'. However, I prefer to deal with people whose names or code names I know."

"You... can call me 'Raven'." The soul fire in the skeleton's eyes flickered, and he stood up. Some small bones inside his body collided with each other, making a snapping sound.

Lucian nodded slightly, then stood up and followed the "Crow" to temporarily leave the core of the party and walk to a corner to "inspect the goods."

Lucian waved his hand, and a small pile of bones was taken out from the storage ring.

"Hmm... Is this the spine of the Hawa beast? It's a pity that the cerebrospinal fluid has been extracted in advance..." The frequency of the two pale soul flames inside the Crow's eye sockets seemed to rise slightly. He looked at the pile of bones with an incomparably hot look in his eyes. When he examined these bones with his "bone-marked" hands, he was so gentle as if he was enchanting his lover.

But soon, the crow looked up at Lucian, grinning, revealing his hollow gums. "You should have more loot than this, right? Now that the Great Axe is in your hands, it's of no use to you. You might as well sell them all to me."

"That's if you can afford the price." Lucian looked at Crow, not frightened by his appearance, nor nervous about him pointing out that these things were stolen goods. "Do you have enough ink? Or other items that I'm interested in?"

Crow stopped his somewhat hideous smile, and the two soul flames in his eye sockets flickered slightly, as if he was thinking and weighing things.

"Let's take a look at the goods first. At least I need to make sure that there is what I want in it." Crow looked at Lucian and his voice was hoarse.

Lucian shrugged, waved his hand and took out the animal skin bag, then unfolded it, revealing a large number of bones inside.

"Hahaha...that idiot really died in your hands! Hahaha, he actually got to this day!"

Staring at the animal skin bag that Lucian took out, the crow paused for more than ten seconds before he grinned and revealed a somewhat morbid "smile" that seemed to be sarcastic and venting. He reached out his hand to wipe the non-existent tears on his face, and then looked at Lucian, his attitude seemed to be much friendlier.

"What do you, my friend, want in exchange for these materials?"

"Ink, and some special items from your world. I need to choose the latter myself, after all, I don't know which of your world's special items I need. Also, do you have an awakening stone from this world? If you have one, I need one."

“It’s not an excessive request.” Crow nodded slightly and pointed at the animal bones that Lucian had placed on the animal skin bag.

"According to the value units of my world, the value of these bones is about 2500-3000 Monka units. However, I don't have that many Monka stones in the dream world, and I'm afraid you don't like to use them..."

"Let's put it this way. After deducting one 'Awakening Stone', I estimate the value of these animal bones to be 2 drops of ink plus 200 Monka Units. You can take materials worth 1 Monka Units from my collection, and you can also obtain certain information about dreams. If you are willing to take out that battle axe to trade with me, I can also give you another drop of ink with 300 Monka Units. Of course, if you are willing to exchange ink with me, I will also be very happy."

Crow waved his hand and threw a piece of crystal clear bone to Lucian. Inside the bone, there were faint spots of light floating one after another, and inside those spots of light were special items one after another. When sensing these items, there were actually simple introductions and marked prices on the side.

"It seems that this crow is not the first time to make a deal. There is actually a storage item specifically used for trading." After silently upgrading the crow's danger level in his mind, Lucian quickly browsed through the many items here.

"I want this Ice Scepter, and use those Monka units to attach a drop of ink."

"Very good, then our deal is done."

Crow took the storage item that Lucian threw back, and put many items including the terrifying battle axe into his storage item. Then he waved his hand again, and suddenly two drops of golden ink, a scepter that exuded a biting cold air, and a gray stone were thrown at Lucian. Lucian took these things and couldn't help but smile.

A pile of bones that were only useful for him as collection or energy core were not only exchanged for two drops of ink and the awakening stone he wanted, but he also got an extra powerful ice and snow magic item that was comparable to a second-level wizard tool.

“Can you describe this scepter to me in detail?” After the transaction was completed, Lucian held the scepter, which was carved entirely from some unknown ice, in his hand. He could feel an icy coolness from it, and this coldness made Lucian shiver all over, and even the circulation of his mental power became a little faster.

"This is one of my trophies." The soul flame inside Crow's eye sockets flickered. He was in a very good mood at the moment, so he said a few more words in response to Lucian's questions.

"Its original owner was a goddess priest of the Ice and Snow World. She once used this scepter to create a 'glacial terrain' with a radius of about 100 meters. At the same time, it can easily create a blizzard that is strong enough to freeze people into ice sculptures."

"By the way, I heard from the judge that it has a negative effect. Every time you use it, a portion of your 'emotions' will be consumed. If you use it frequently, you may lose your emotions and become a puppet of the 'goddess'."

“Thank you.” Lucian nodded slightly, then followed Crow back to the core circle of the party, quietly listening to the transactions between other players, and also silently listening to some of the information these players inadvertently said.

"I need..." A dwarf who looked like a human but was less than half a meter tall began to state his request.

But suddenly, a black-robed player showed a look of shock and anger on his face, and black flames suddenly burned on the surface of his body. His whole body's aura exploded, reaching a level comparable to the threshold of a second-level wizard.

"No... No!" The black-robed player roared in the language of his hometown with a ferocious and distorted expression, but the next moment, the rules of the dream world came into play and easily wiped out his existence.

Invisible waves swept over Lucian and other players, allowing Lucian to absorb a trace of special aura, which slightly improved his mental strength. However, the items that the black-robed player had dropped mysteriously disappeared.

"I need a piece of Mora grass." After a slight pause, the dwarf continued his transaction, and the other players quickly put the black-robed player's experience aside. Only a few people who might have some friendship with the fallen player were left whispering, and at the same time they shook their heads slightly, as if they felt it was not worth it for the black-robed player.

“It seems that this is the scene where someone killed the ‘identity’ and caused his death.” Lucian quickly figured out what happened. He silently glanced at the empty seat left by the fallen black-robed player, feeling a little sad.

"Okay, this gathering is over." Not long after, the judge who had been silent suddenly spoke, which made two players who were bargaining speed up. Then, everyone, including two second-level wizards, stood up, bowed to the judge, and quickly dispersed.

"Each gathering will be held two weeks apart. Unless your Honorable Judge specifies otherwise, the time and place will remain the same." The wizard 'Thunder' seemed to understand what Lucian wanted to ask and contacted Lucian through his mental power.

"Thank you this time as well." Lucian expressed his friendship to Thunder in the same way.

"Haha, everyone outside is a part of the wizarding world. I don't know whether your organization will organize wizard expeditions regularly, but no matter what, when we become one of the 'members' of the 'Parliament of Stars', we will all be comrades-in-arms and colleagues." There was a hint of lightness in Lei Dian's voice.

"If we can all go back this time, you must come to our college when you have time. Hey, I'm not afraid to tell you that Ms. Rachel, the dean of our college, is my aunt."

Lucian's mouth twitched slightly.

Although he is also the dean of Gray Bone Academy, he understands that his dean cannot be compared with the dean of Lei Dian's academy.

After all, that so-called academy would even recruit students at the official wizard level, so its dean should at least be a top-level third-level wizard, right? Even comparable to the "judge" I just met?
"I will definitely go if I have the chance." Lucian paused, and finally accepted the goodwill released by Thunder.

"Haha, goodbye then!" Lei Dian's voice was light, and his figure turned into a flash of lightning and quickly disappeared from Lucian's sight.
