After the old man left, Reilo stood by the window and looked out at the square.
Many of them, like Reilo, wear various masks to conceal their true selves.
Seemingly to coincide with the annual grand event, the Guyue Family set up some trading shops in the square, where many people gathered to browse and select items.
Reilo thought for a moment, then left the room and headed towards the trading shops.
First, there's a pet shop.
There were dozens of different kinds of Magic Insect eggs, including more than a dozen Blood Burning Bee in Reilo's possession. However, according to the Guyue Family's quality and price ranking, they were only relatively low-grade Magic Insect.
Soon, Reilo looked at the other magical pets.
Back then, in order to collect the 200 gold coins needed for the Ice Crystal Snow Fox, Bailing Sister Bailing not only asked Gubo for more but also worked hard to save up herself, which took her a full two years.
However, looking at it now...
Reilo's gaze fell upon the white magic egg priced at 450 gold coins.
"Raging Golden Thunder Eagle"
He shook his head.
The Raging Golden Thunder Eagle, as a top-tier flying giant bird, possesses the potential to evolve into a level 3 creature.
However, they are not suitable as Medium Companion. I am a 7th-tier talent and need Medium Companion with relatively high intelligence. This kind of combat-type Medium Companion is more suitable for scholars with talents below the 5th tier.
Waaaaah!
A Yingti, like a baby, cried incessantly.
"It doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good..."
A red fruit, resembling Potential Fruit, was muttering to itself inside the glass box, trembling as it stared at the terrifying humans outside.
His gaze swept over the various magical pets.
Although there were some intelligent magical pets, they were not the type that Reilo was satisfied with.
Medium Companion are almost a re-creation of a scholar's talent, so they must be chosen with extreme care. There is no best Medium Companion, only the one that is most suitable for you.
"Boss, let me examine that egg of the Rampaging Golden Thunder Eagle closely."
A somewhat familiar voice came from behind him.
Looking over, Reilo was surprised to see it was the psychic Hell!
A tall figure stood unobtrusively in the crowd, his eyes fixed intently on the egg of the raging golden thunder eagle, seemingly deep in thought.
As for his Noel, he was in the Magic Props on the other side, arguing with someone in a hoarse voice.
"He's here too?"
Reilo frowned and walked towards the Magic Material shop, trying to find something useful.
Explore the Eye of the World, the annual grand event of the Guyue Family.
Inside the domed castle.
The nine elders of the Guyue Family sat in a circle, including Wade, who was befriended by Prince Chen.
"After 135 years, the Demon Eye has finally been summoned once again. Only level 0 creatures can enter the Sun and Moon Magic Eye!"
The Grand Elder murmured excitedly.
According to records, among the many pyramids built by the ancient Gulan Civilization, three were the most mysterious and powerful.
"One is the original Magic Eye Pyramid, built by the Gulan Civilization. It is said that it was the powerful energy of this pyramid that transformed the former Quranic Basin into the vast Furnace Desert we see today."
"Another Dark Magic Eye Pyramid, said to be the most eerie Magic Eye Pyramid, is said to have caused the disappearance of a ruler among the ancient humans of Aurora. It is speculated that this may be an extremely powerful sealing Magic Eye Pyramid."
"The last one is the Magic Eye Pyramid. According to the Quran, the Magic Eye Pyramid was a brand new pyramid created by the Gulan Civilization. It was originally built to defeat the nemesis, the Blood Demon of the Night's Veil Land, but it was ultimately lost to history with the Destruction of the Gulan Civilization."
The Guyue Family.
This mysterious elder's research on the history of the Gulan Civilization is undoubtedly the greatest achievement of any human principality.
This scholar, who was born in the same glorious era as Antonio, Gauss Adolf, White Niven, traveled for decades in the Great Empire of Light in Aurora when he was young. Finally, by chance, he opened up his own unique path to truth, thus creating the Guyue Family as we know it today.
"Hmph, the first two Magic Eye Pyramid, one has been completely Destruction, and the other is sealed in an unknown place. This Sun and Moon Magic Eye Pyramid is our only hope. As long as we obtain its Demon Eye secrets, the establishment of the Morsi Academy of Natural Sciences will be unimpeded!"
Upon hearing this, many elders began to breathe rapidly.
at the same time.
Inside a secluded room Guyue Family.
"Great Sandstorm God!"
The man sobbed softly, murmuring to himself.
"I was originally the most outstanding genius mage in my family, but because of the construction of the Academy of Sciences, my family forcibly suppressed me to a level 0 Energy Magnetic Field, just to wait for a possible opportunity. I have never done anything wrong, yet I have to suffer such sacrifice and punishment. Why...?"
His eyes were bloodshot, and by the end, the man's voice had almost turned into a roar.
"The High Priest is right. There is no such thing as justice or evil in this world. Others are hell, and the weak are always wrong! From now on, I will live for myself!!!"
A sinister laugh echoed.
Another room.
"Curse, are you sure this avatar can complete the mission?"
The speaker was a woman.
The woman wore a black veil, yet her stunning beauty was still palpable; the smile that emanated from her lips held a touch of the uncanny.
"After failing last time and missing this opportunity, who knows how many years it will take before that old man can communicate with the Sun and Moon Magic Eye again. Now we have gathered the Frost Creation, Thunder Creation, Storm Creation, and Flame Creation, and all we lack is the Sun and Moon Magic Eye, which can rival the Dark Demon Eye."
A tall man, wearing a bronze mask, stands with his back to him.
"This body is inherently Bloodline True Body, and after nearly ten years of meticulous modification by me, it will absolutely not repeat the mistake of the last time."
The woman gracefully picked up a grape with her fingers and placed it on her red lips beneath her veil.
"Speaking of which, you've been in the organization for so many years, once a genius hypnotist and a great spellcaster for the family. Now, seeing how powerful the Gu Yue family is, and thinking about the decline of your own family, don't you regret it?"
The man in the bronze mask remained silent for a moment.
"This world will never be our home! Betrayer must pay the price!"
"Hmph, compared to the Star Wars Aurora Destruction plan advocated by Evil Shadow and that so-called Sky Shadow, it's more realistic for us to find the seal of that ancient Capricorn Duke of Ancient Aurora."
The woman stretched languidly, exuding boundless charm.
" Creator of Light, I wonder if you, now completely reduced to a native creature, still have the courage to face your former superior, hmph hmph hmph."
A few days later.
"Respected Mr. X, Elder Wade asked me to inform you that only 145 grams of Moon Crystal Stone remain in the family treasury. Three months ago, Temple Priest the Goddess of Love of Willand visited and purchased the family's Moon Crystal Stone reserves. The elder deeply apologizes, and the family is willing to transfer them to you at a discounted price of 290 gold coins."
145 grams.
The Moon's Mark.
Concealing his inner joy, Reilo said, "Okay, shall we make the deal now?"
"If you agree, I will report to the storeroom steward immediately, and he will be responsible for handing it over to you."
A moment later.
When the warehouse steward arrived, Reilo gave the middle-aged man a batch of Energy Crystal and received a Moon Crystal Stone slightly larger than a pigeon's egg in return.
"The elder deeply apologizes for not being able to help His Highness Prince Chen last time, and therefore presents these Moon Crystal Stone to you as a gift. The elder has always valued his friendship with Prince Chen, and he asks you to convey this message to His Prince Chen when you return."
Well.
According to him, it seems that the 290 gold coins were just a token gesture, a mere formality?
It's unknown how much Prince Chen paid to win over the Gu Yue Family.
Reilo wasn't quite sure about the value of the Moon Crystal Stone either, and nodded silently.
"I will pass on the message."
"Then please continue to rest here, sir."
As the middle-aged man left, Reilo picked up the Moon Crystal Stone.
Influenced by the power of the moon within him, most of the crescent Moon Crystal Stone instantly merged into his skin, creating a new Moon Mark. He then put away the remaining small Moon Crystal Stone in his hand.
According to historical records.
The Gulan Civilization built hundreds of Magic Eye Pyramid.
With the fall of the Gulan Civilization, some of the pyramids were damaged in wars with ancient humans, becoming relics of ancient battlefields.
Another part of the Magic Eye Pyramid lost control after the Destruction of the original pyramids in the Furnace Desert. They instinctively traversed the underground of the Starveil Land. The Guyue Family could only communicate with and summon a certain pyramid for a short period of time each year through specific methods at specific times.
This is the annual grand event of the Gulan family exploring the Eye of the World.
