I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 559 Key?

Armandou,

As the holy city of the Church of the God of War, a large number of the God of War believers gathered in the city of Armandu are extraordinary professionals, among whom adventurers are the largest in number.

In the more chaotic land of the Western Desert, people living here are tougher and more sturdy than those living in the central and eastern parts of the Fanor Continent. The God of War, who worships war and power, is also the god with the most believers in the Western Desert.

It is also because of this reason that adventurers from all over the desert come to the city of Amandu for pilgrimage every day, making the number of extraordinary professionals in the city of Amandu the largest in the Western Desert.

With so many extraordinary professionals gathering in the city of Armandu, naturally there are also many markets in the city that specialize in serving extraordinary professionals. Adventurers trade their adventure gains and extraordinary items in these markets and exchange what they have with each other.

The Church of the God of War is happy to see this happen. As long as those extraordinary professionals abide by the rules they set and do not offend the majesty of the God of War, they will let it go.

After all, this is also beneficial to the Church of the God of War, making the city of Armandu the most prosperous and sacred city in the western desert in the minds of many people.

The God of War Karis is different from other gods. This great being does not care about the so-called asceticism, and there are no similar requirements for believers in his doctrines.

Instead, they advocate limited indulgence of desires and more intense and powerful battles.

In the city of Armandu, there is even the flesh trade, which shows the style of the Church of the God of War.

Li Si stood in the Kas Street of Armandu City. This was the busiest market in the city. It was halfway across the city from the Church of the God of War. There was almost no place to step amid the hustle and bustle of the crowd.

This wide and bustling market street stretches out like a giant dragon, and the densely packed stalls on both sides are like two gorgeous ribbons inlaid with countless dazzling gems. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the densely packed but well-arranged stalls, coating this prosperous place with a layer of golden brilliance.

On one side of the road, vendors shouted loudly, their voices interweaving into a vibrant symphony of the market. People came and went, bargaining, and carefully selecting the items they wanted.

The stalls are full of all kinds of goods, from daily necessities to rare treasures. Fresh fruits are piled up in colorful mountains; exquisite gold glitters in the sun; and spices from distant foreign countries exude an alluring fragrance, attracting passers-by to stop and take a look.

But what is even more eye-catching, and what is most numerous at the fair, are the extraordinary items and props on the stalls.

Some stalls had countless monster furs spread out, some were covered with strange patterns, and some were sparkling with a metallic luster. Surrounding the fur stalls were traveling merchants from all over the place.

Some stalls were filled with small bottles of various shapes, which contained colorful potions. Some could heal serious injuries, while others could temporarily increase physical strength or be used to cope with various abnormal environments. These were all essential auxiliary items for adventurers during their adventures.

The weapons and equipment area is even more lively, with various swords, shields, bows and arrows, and staffs arranged in an orderly manner. Each one emits a different light, some are cold and sharp, while others emit a gem-like luster and color.

Li Si was strolling in the market. The equipment and alchemical potions that were important to adventurers had no appeal to him.

The potions and equipment he made himself were of much better quality than those sold at these stalls.

His attention was focused on the more special stalls in the market.

Those stalls selling the spoils of exploring ruins!
Buried beneath the endless yellow sands of the Western Desert are countries and city-states from countless years ago. No one knows how many once glorious existences are still sleeping beneath this vast desert.

As time goes by, new relics will reappear in the world and be discovered by people from time to time.

Although the countries and people that once existed have passed away, the wealth they created has not disappeared but has been preserved.

This also makes those adventurers who are keen on exploration willing to go deep into the western desert to search for those lost ruins.

As long as you find a relic that has not been explored, it may represent wealth that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Gold, jewels, and all kinds of extraordinary items may be found in these desert ruins.

There has always been a story circulating in the Western Desert about an adventurer who discovered a relic and became rich overnight, which has attracted countless people to explore the Western Desert.

This is why, despite the harsh environment in the Western Desert, there are still a large number of adventurers coming here.

Among the adventurers, there are quite a lot of people who believe in the god of war, Karis.

In order to obtain more news and information related to the ruins, and to sell the treasures obtained from the ruins, the city of Amandu becomes the best choice for these adventurers.

The Church of the God of War does not prohibit fighting, but in order to maintain order in the city of Armandu, people who have conflicts with each other are strictly prohibited from fighting privately, and must go to the Armandu Duel Arena specially set up by the Church of the God of War.

In the city of Armandu, the Church of the God of War is the undisputed ruler.

For this reason, more and more adventurers come here to sell treasures found while exploring the secrets of the ruins. It is safer and more reassuring for them.

What Li Si was looking for was the stall selling these relics and treasures.

In fact, players also have the opportunity to pick up bargains and gain benefits from the city of Amandu, and Li Si still remembers a few of them.

But that would be a few years later, and the discovered relics and treasures were also on a mobile stall. Li Si had no way of finding the adventurer who sold them now.

Or, it could be in the shops in the market, but the harvest would be just gold-level props and weapons and equipment, which was nothing to Li Si now.

There is no treasure of the same level as Li Si’s previous [Mask of the Transformer].

Instead of taking them away now, it would be better to leave them in the White Dove Chamber of Commerce as mission rewards for the players, allowing them to explore on their own.

Of course, there is a reason for this. Being able to own a fixed shop in the city of Amandu and specialize in purchasing relics from adventurers naturally means having a different vision.

If there are some special or unusual items, they would have taken action long ago.

After all, the ruins contain not only various treasures and wealth, but also various dangers.

However, to the Church of the God of War, those dangers are not a problem.

Li Si plans to wander around those stalls today and try his luck to see if he can find a bargain.

Li Si looked at the 10-point luck value on the system panel, and his confidence was overflowing!
"Boss, how much are these cards?"

Li Si was strolling in the market with a large skewer of barbecued meat, and he actually found some good stuff at a small stall on the corner.

Arcane Cards!

The [Mask of the Shapeshifter] he had obtained in the Emerald City was obtained from an arcane card.

But that was just a special case.

Wanting to get legendary items from arcane cards is only possible, but few people can do it.

Most of the things stored in arcane cards are useless trifles or outdated research notes.

If it is something truly important, it is rarely stored in a disposable confidential box such as an arcane card.

"This one"

The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his thirties dressed as a mercenary. He had a rag casually spread in front of him, on which were many dull-colored, antique items.

He raised his head and looked Li Si up and down, took a deep puff of the cigar in his mouth, and said with a smile:

"If it were someone else, I would probably charge a hundred gold coins for each of these arcane cards."

"But if you want to take these cards, you can take them for fifty gold coins each."

"Too expensive." Li Si looked at the mercenary in front of him who was obviously selling the spoils of his adventure, shook his head and said.

The stall owner in front of him was not a mage, but he knew that these cards were arcane cards. He seemed to be an experienced adventurer.

"Forty-five gold coins."

The stall owner said cheerfully:
"If the price is any lower, I might as well sell it directly to the stores that buy these."

"Row."

Li Si nodded, without lowering the price any further, and reached out to take out all the arcane cards on the stall in front of him, a total of ten.

In fact, the price of arcane cards is relatively stable, especially in the western desert where there are many ancient ruins.

Most of the arcane cards have been acquired by those large supernatural forces. After all, with the size of the supernatural forces, as long as they can produce useful things, they can basically be put to use.

This is not the case for ordinary extraordinary professionals. The probability of getting good things from arcane cards is not high. If you get something that is not suitable for you, you have to sell it or exchange it with others.

Therefore, adventurers who usually act alone or in a small group will choose to sell arcane cards directly at a price higher than the market price.

After handing the gold coins to the stall owner, Li Si picked up the arcane cards on the stall in front of him and prepared to open the cards on the spot without leaving.

The stall owner's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he came over with a smile, handing Li Si a broken coconut, ready to watch the show.

Although you can’t open cards yourself for profit, watching others open cards is also a different kind of fun.

Many people around noticed it and gathered around.

Who doesn’t like to watch the excitement?
If something good comes out, it will give you something new to talk about in the pub at night.

Li Si didn't care. Even if he was not in the city of Amandu, no one could snatch the things from him.

Without hesitation, Li Si picked up a gray card and input magic power into it.

Zheng~
First. White, a Fireball Scroll
The second picture. White, several glass reagent bottles
The third one. Blue, Silver-level Mage Research Notes
The fourth one.
Oh ~
As Li Si opened arcane cards one by one, the looks of the people around him became more and more strange, and they all cried out for comfort.

Li Si felt his face turn blue and white.

Holding the last card tightly, Li Si resolutely opened this last hope.

The light is stronger this time!
After the light disappeared, Li Si found a statue as tall as a person appeared in front of him.

It is obvious that this is a statue of a wizard. It is lifelike and the carving craftsmanship is quite good.

But there is not a single peculiar fluctuation on it; it is really just a statue.

Why is the statue also placed in the arcane card? Isn’t this too conceited?
Li Si looked at the number in the lucky column on the system panel again. Is it correct?
Is the “1” on the left side of the number fake?

Seeing this, the people who had originally surrounded Li Si also dispersed, laughing and whispering something.

Seeing others open up good things can certainly broaden their horizons, but seeing others open up a bunch of junk can please their hearts more.

"It's okay. I'm sure I'll get something good next time."

The stall owner comforted Li Si with a tense expression, holding back his smile and speaking with lingering fear.

Fortunately, he resisted the urge to open it himself, otherwise he would have suffered a huge loss.

Li Si's face was calm as he put away everything that was opened in front of him.

Throw it into the White Dove Chamber of Commerce as a reward later!
As the sun sets, the market is gradually covered with a soft twilight, but the liveliness and bustle have not diminished in the slightest. Instead, it has become more mysterious and romantic as night falls.

"Hey bro, do you want to buy anything else?"

"I'll give you a discount on the remaining items. If you don't buy them, I'll go to the tavern."

The stall owner said to Li Si that those who were watching Li Si's lottery just now noticed his small stall and he sold a lot of things in a short time.

Since Li Si took such good care of his business, he didn't mind returning the favor.

The main reason was that Li Si was very generous, so it was just the right time to help him clear out the inventory without delaying his drinking time.

".Let me see."

Li Si was about to leave immediately, but when he saw some jewelry on the stall, he squatted down.

Taya is still sleeping, so buying some of these jewelry would be perfect as gifts.

Among these jewels, the most eye-catching are those made of gold. Although the color of gold is no longer as dazzling as it was before after years of baptism, it seems to have been endowed with a layer of calmness and restraint by time, exuding a low-key and profound charm.

The various colored gems inlaid in the gold are like the brightest stars in the night sky. Even against the slightly dim background, they still shine with charming brilliance.

Li Si casually picked up the jewelry and paused slightly when he passed a gold brooch inlaid with a pigeon blood ruby.

"Just these few."

Li Si randomly picked out three pieces of jewelry, including the ruby ​​brooch.

"No problem, 500 gold coins."

The stall owner took a look and gave a relatively fair price.

He had examined all these jewels and found nothing special about them. They were inlaid with ordinary gemstones, otherwise they would not have been priced this high.

Li Si collected the jewelry, paid for it, and asked with a smile:

"Which ruins did you find these treasures from?"

"I can't tell you this?"

The stall owner looked at Li Si suspiciously and shook his head.

Something is wrong. Is there something good that I haven't discovered?

"alright."

Li Si shook his head, secretly left a mark on the stall owner, and turned away.

If I'm not mistaken, that brooch is a special "key".

That relic is not simple!
