Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

After binding the kangaroo, which had become quiet again, with the spell again, the druid mustered up his courage and asked cautiously:

"Your Majesty, are you heading to the Grand Bazaar?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Zhou Ning immediately turned his head and looked at the druid.

The druid carefully considered his words and said:

"My name is Randolph. My father runs a herbal medicine shop in the market. I grew up here. If you don't mind, I'd like to be your guide."

He paused for a second and added:

"Also, my family and I have always wanted to leave the Church of the Goddess of Life and convert to the Church of the Starry Sky. I wonder if we will have this opportunity?"

This is a case of surrender. After the Church of the Goddess of Life became a secret sect, this is not incomprehensible. Zhou Ning nodded and said:

"I will send someone to the island to build a church in a while. I will ask him to contact you then."

"Thank you for your kindness."

A look of joy appeared on Randolph's face. He then bowed deeply to Jasmine and led the two of them through the crowd of onlookers out into the street.

Not long after, bursts of noisy sounds were heard from the front. Unlike Tartarus Island, which was also a cargo distribution center, there was no market here. The so-called big market was conducted on a twenty-mile-long street. There were stalls on the ground and shops rented in buildings on both sides of the street.

As one of the most famous free markets on this continent, it is almost impossible to be deserted here, even in such heavy snow.

There are many more extraordinary people around than imagined. Most of them are pirates from the North. There are also quite a few super-class professionals, and there are even a small number of demigods.

They wandered along the streets, stopping occasionally to observe the merchandise in the shops. Zhou Ning was slightly surprised to see some obsidian puppets wielding spears among the crowd. He had seen similar ancient puppets in the Elf King's Tomb.

Seeing Zhou Ning was very interested, Randolph lowered his voice and said:

"These puppets are all creations of the Knowledge Council, as they own 30% of the shares in this market. Don't be fooled by their dull appearance; they fight like real people, and most of them possess the combat power of super-class professionals."

"As for the extraordinary items here, the materials are easy to come by, but 95% of the equipment and items have obvious flaws or carry terrible negative effects. The truly good stuff isn't cheap, because at least half of the goods here have been screened by the Council of Knowledge."

"Besides, among the vendors here, the goods of Northern pirates are often cheaper, but they carry a certain risk. The goods of the Knowledge Council are more authentic, but they are also more expensive. The goods of the walruses are mostly deep-sea materials, but the quality varies. Moreover, the walruses tend to stick together in groups, making them vulnerable to blackmail."

Zhou Ning nodded indifferently, his interest in the market waning considerably. Most of the appraisers came from the Knowledge Council, and he didn't think he'd be lucky enough to snag a bargain.

After a quick tour, Zhou Ning discovered that the mysterious side of the market was quite rich in goods. Indeed, many of them came from the ocean, such as yellow coral and crystal seaweed, rare materials that only existed in the Misty Sea. They were rarely seen in Nathaniel and Darkland, but the stock here was quite sufficient.

On the contrary, krypton silver and refined gold, which are found in larger quantities in other areas, are more expensive.

Jasmine wanted to buy some special materials for making talismans. The two agreed to meet at the entrance later, and then separated temporarily. With Randolph's endless introduction, Zhou Ning took a rough tour of the big market.

His spirituality gradually spread outward, exploring everything around him.

After gaining the authority of knowledge, Zhou Ning had some understanding of almost every extraordinary item. Although most of them were fake, he did gain some knowledge.

He spent thousands of Victa to buy more than a dozen unknown strange objects whose negative effects were not too outrageous. It could be considered as buying a batch of goods and picking up a small bargain.

After a while, following his spiritual intuition, Zhou Ning came to a stall. Most of the herbs sold here were relatively rare marine herbs, such as crystal seaweed and sea snake grass that only grow in the deep sea.

Zhou Ning's eyes lit up slightly as he saw several pitch-black herbs with forked tips on the stall.

A faint smile appeared on his face. He was lucky enough that this stall actually had some materials that he had always wanted, although the prices were very high.

A long time ago, he acquired a life skill called NZT-52 manufacturing technology, and the last alchemical reagent was missing the dark grass as a catalyst.

This herb only exists in the deep sea of ​​the Misty Sea. I didn't expect to see it here.

In this way, the materials for making NZT-52 were finally gathered. Considering that the function of this drug is to expand the brain area and increase learning ability, Zhou Ning has no doubt that the effect reflected in the game will greatly enhance his knowledge authority.

"A total of 4752 Vectra."

Zhou Ning then noticed that the stall owner was a walrus with two long fangs and black and white hair. Perhaps only a walrus could collect so many materials in the deep sea.

Wait...is this a coincidence? When did my luck get so good?

If he wasn't mistaken, the herbalist before him seemed to be Dick, the walrus hero and son of the plane of the walrus kingdom. He was unmistakable; the deep dark circles under his eyes, the long scar on his cheek, and his two particularly thick tusks all betrayed him.

Until recently, his wanted poster was still hanging on the notice board of the Kingdom of Bryston.

"Is this... Wayne Stewell?"

Dick also recognized Zhou Ning at this time. He looked a little alert and slightly bent his body, ready to escape at any time.

Zhou Ning had no intention of embarrassing the other party. He paid without hesitation, packed up almost all the deep-sea herbs on the stall, put them into his inventory, and then asked casually:

"Are you interested in joining the Starry Sky Church?"

"What?" Dick was a little confused because he didn't expect the legendary angel in front of him to speak so directly.

Immediately, a strong impulse stirred within him. The Walrus had always strived to defeat the Kingdom of Bryston and the Republic of Byron and reclaim their territory. To this end, they were willing to sacrifice everything, even joining forces with the Wolf Worship Cult to open the gates to the Elemental Realm.

But the Wolf Cult has now fallen apart, and its connection with the Elemental Kingdom has been cut off. At the same time, their biggest enemy, the Kingdom of Blython, has also been destroyed. It was the legendary angel in front of him who destroyed the Kingdom of Blython. Therefore, at this moment, Dick was really moved.

Zhou Ning smiled and said:

"Of course, the Starry Sky Church also welcomes all walruses to join. The Starry Sky Church will protect you. All you need to provide is devout faith."

"Of course, there's no need to rush to respond. You have plenty of time to consider it."

Dick nodded hesitantly, looked up at Zhou Ning, and responded:

"I'm very tempted, but I need to seek the consent of my tribesmen. I hope you can understand."

"I don't know how to contact you?"

"The absolute ruler of the Starry Sky Church, the immortal legend of Darkland; the seeker of destiny, the disseminator of knowledge; the symbol of desire."

"Just call my honorable name and give your answer. I can hear it." Zhou Ning said lightly.

"Okay." Dick nodded solemnly, then hurriedly packed up his stall and left.

Jasmine had also finished shopping by this time. She came to Zhou Ning with a bag of extraordinary items and said, looking at Dick's back:

"This walrus has great luck. If it weren't for you, he would have been a strong contender for the Child of Time. Is this why you want to recruit him?"

"Almost. The joining of the Son of the Plane will be very helpful to the Starry Sky Church." Zhou Ning said directly.

If everything goes as expected, the plan to recruit Dick should be almost successful. Joining the Starry Sky Church is the best choice for the Walrus, and the Starry Sky Church will have another Son of the Plane.

As for Liu Zhen, he is still in the hostile camp and can only take things as they come.
