Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Mysterious Seal and Experiment Log
Inside Abu’s wooden house, Tang Qi not only completed the plan to annihilate his family but also reaped quite a few benefits.
Although Big Head, due to Samra’s involvement, had to be placed in a coffin for burial, the other unmarked curios had already satisfied Tang Qi.
Besides the Blar Viper Drum and Kerosene Secret Medicine he had previously seen, Tang Qi had also obtained some mysterious materials and small curios that seemed to have little power.
With his special ability, Tang Qi meticulously inspected each item.
Most of them were materials for concocting Secret Medicine or for casting, and although they were temporarily of no use, Tang Qi stored them all.
As a wizard, storing was a skill he must learn.
More than halfway through the inventory, Tang Qi also realized that the biggest gains might just be the small drum and the secret medicine.
However, it was at this moment that something strange appeared in his hand.
In his palm lay a round, exquisite seal.
It seemed to be made of copper, and at the very bottom, there was a faint red mark engraved with a line of complex symbols that seemed like some kind of script, yet not quite.
When Tang Qi looked over, ghostly lights seemed to converge towards it.
This seal was a curio.
[Curio: Mysterious Seal.]
[State: Consuming.]
[Information Fragment One: The mysterious side of Messer City is beginning to revive, and a group of secretive forces have decided to initiate an Extraordinary Market capable of conducting transcendent trades, only open to Extraordinary Humans or intelligent abnormalities.]
[Information Fragment Two: The Mysterious Market has just emerged; it doesn’t even have a name yet. Many individuals showing Extraordinary Power have received the seal, but this seal can only be used once more, as the market initiators will soon carry out an eligibility verification, and those who fail will no longer be able to enter.]
[Information Fragment Three: Next meeting time, in two days.]
“This…?”
Having clearly seen the information fragments attached to the seal, Tang Qi was momentarily stunned, then his face broke into a smile.
This was an unexpected gain.
After attending the night market at Blue Bear Park, Tang Qi confirmed that a market for “Extraordinary transactions” had the chance and necessity to exist.
Tang Qi even considered if there were no such market, whether he could initiate it himself?
Of course, he quickly abandoned this thought.
Currently, as a lone man with a single weapon, hosting a market was not suitable for him.
But unexpectedly, someone or rather, a secretive force, had come up with the same idea.
And it seemed this force was very professional.
Tang Qi picked up the seal and examined it front and back for a while, soon finding the venue for the Mysterious Market in a hidden spot on the seal.
According to the information fragments, this location was likely temporary too.
To undergo the eligibility check, simply presenting the seal could afford an opportunity for verification, but failing that means no entry into the next gathering.
“This seems like getting a pillow when you need a nap, an Extraordinary Market sounds just right for me.”
Tang Qi, looking at the seal, became quite interested.
Even enthusiastic, one might say.
Beginning with outwitting Old Morgan, Tang Qi had relied on himself; besides a brief interaction with Old Coulson, he had not communicated with other Extraordanaries.
Regrettably, because Tang Qi was then carefully strategizing and unwilling to be tied to the official chariot, he only left Old Coulson’s phone number, which led to a remote transaction once, but no deeper interaction ensued.
Tang Qi was eager to learn everything about the Mysterious Side, but he couldn’t place all his hopes on the official.
This sudden emergence of the Extraordinary Market fit Tang Qi’s criteria perfectly.
As for whether it is a trap?
Tang Qi thought for a moment; if it were a trap, it would likely target Abu.
But from the two Information Fragments, it didn’t seem like a trap.
“When the time comes, I’ll check it out. If something feels off, I just won’t show up.”
Tang Qi quickly made a decision, put away the Seal, and relying on the “Fog Body,” Tang Qi felt that even if he encountered an Extraordinary Strongman of Samra’s Level, as long as he didn’t reveal himself, escaping wouldn’t be difficult.
After the Mysterious Seal, the only thing left on the workbench was one item.
A notebook, specifically, an experiment log.
Made with the cheapest notebook on the market, rough paper, very messy handwriting, and drawings.
Who would have thought? What is recorded here are disgusting and bizarre Black Witchcraft.
Just like configuring Secret Medicine, the props and media required for Black Witchcraft are not all natural; Black Wizards have to create them themselves.
Similarly, they all have different success rates.
Thus, it was not surprising to find experiment logs at this time.
In fact, every Wizard is a person of gifted Talent, even those completely from the Evil Camp like the Black Snake Witch.
Abu might be an uneducated person, since he hasn’t been schooled, but he did receive teachings from Samra, which proves his talent in Black Witchcraft. Samra’s doting on him surely wasn’t just because of Fosca.
Tang Qi picked up the experiment log and flipped through it page by page.
Despite Abu’s sloppy, messy handwriting mixed with some unique symbols of the Saha Continent, this didn’t trouble Tang Qi.
In formal studies, Tang Qi was truly a bad student, far behind a top student like Sally, but in some more obscure, mysterious knowledge, Tang Qi absorbs it at a much faster rate than normal.
Most of the entries in the log are Black Witchcraft from the Black Snake Witch Cult.
Each one was quite powerful.
However, Tang Qi had no interest, not because of moral reasons.
But because he knew from Old Morgan’s diary, the Black Snake Witch Cult had a terrifying rule: every apprentice cultivating “Black Snake Witchcraft” would be sensed by the current “Black Snake Witch,” no matter where they were.
Because cultivating Black Snake Witchcraft didn’t require as many strict conditions as other Wizard Sects and allowed for the acquisition of powerful combat abilities in a short time.
But the cost was binding one’s life and soul to the Black Snake Witch Cult, unable to break free even in death.
In fact, even the Black Snake Witch herself was the same.
The real beneficiary of these “benefits” was that one… the Evil God worshipped by the Black Snake Witch Cult.
Tang Qi currently had a big trap set up, waiting to take down Samra, how could he possibly give himself away?
So even as powerful, horrifying Black Witchcraft flashed before his eyes, he completely ignored them.
He was looking for witchcraft that wasn’t part of the Black Snake Witch Cult system.
Due to the uniqueness of the Saha Continent, some powerful Black Wizards often mastered more than one Sect of Black Witchcraft, and even if they couldn’t fully unleash the power of other schools, they found it handy for crafting small items.
For example, the Kerosene Secret Medicine currently in Tang Qi’s hands, it definitely wasn’t a Secret Medicine of the Black Snake Witch Cult.
It must have been knowledge of Secret Medicine that Samra had plundered from another tribe, which she then personally configured for her second son.
What Tang Qi was looking for now, was precisely this kind of knowledge.
However, as he was about to finish flipping through the thick log, Tang Qi still had no findings.
Until his fingers flipped to the third-last page, and a sudden smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.
What do you think?
