Demon King Priest

Chapter 2: A Strange Bazaar

Ulysses had just walked into the camp, and the overwhelming hawkings hit him like waves, which made him doubt his ears again. How could such a loud sound not be heard by me earlier?'

"The eggs of the three-headed hellhound, buy one get one free, it's just 100 energy coins!" This was a merchant who was enveloped in a black cloak.

"Aladdin's magic lamp that can realize three wishes. Glory, wealth, and beauty can be owned by you with just a few words. It is just 250 energy coins!" This was a merchant with a white cloth on his head.

"Treasure weapon Divine Whip, with this whip, the gods and demons will not be able to escape from your hand, now you can take it away with only 200 energy coins." This was a man with a long white beard and eyebrows, holding a strange broom [Taoist Whisk].

"A variety of Gundams, EVAs, and space battleships are available for sale. The price is negotiable. The price is absolutely affordable and quality is excellent." This was a merchant wearing strange metal armor.

"The ninth-grade lotus platform used by the Buddha. It is integrated with offense and defense abilities. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is a must-have product for all kinds of travel. The current price is 300 energy coins. If you buy it, you will also receive a string of prayer beads that the Buddha once used." This was a bald merchant.

"The new type of AI chip, the computing speed is more than 100 quadrillion times per millisecond, the single unit price is 50 energy coins, and the purchase of 10 or more can get 20% off." This was a merchant with a strange hat [computer] on his head.

"It's a big sale, and the World Tree is just 500 energy coins. If you own it, you will have your own world. Come and see!" This was a merchant with halo jewelry on his head.

...

Merchants of all kinds were clamoring for some products that Ulysses found hard to believe, most of which were inexplicable things. Ulysses had never heard of Gundam, EVA, AI chips, treasure weapons, perhaps only the Supreme God knew what these things were. The few products that Ulysses knew a little bit were too unbelievable.

A lamp that could fulfill your wishes? If there was such a thing, who would sell it without using it for themselves? The eggs of the three-headed hellhound? There is no such thing as a three-headed Hellhound in the library's magic beast illustration book.'

It should be known that the book Ulysses had in mind was a universal magic beast illustration book recognized by everyone in the continent. It recorded all the magic beasts except for the legendary King of magic beasts. To say that the three-headed hellhound was the king of magic beasts, the probability that its eggs would be obtained by a merchant was probably less than the probability that he would pass the priest exam this time. In addition, the currency used here was also very strange. It was not any of the gold, silver, and copper coins commonly used in the continent, but a shiny currency called energy coins.

After walking around this strange camp for a long time, Ulysses found a few clues. This camp was probably not an adventurer camp but a special item trading camp. People who came here to buy things were probably special item enthusiasts. The currency called energy coins seemed to be the special currency for this kind of trading, because he hadn't seen any other continental currency except for it.

After looking around for a while, Ulysses decided to go back. The reason was simple. He didn't have any energy coins, he wouldn't be able to buy anything even if he looked around longer, and there were no interesting performances in this camp. But just as he was about to go outside, he suddenly found an advertisement hanging on a tent in a corner: "Game. There are prizes for answering three questions. No fee is required, and one person only has one chance."

It's free? Then I might as well take a look!'

Ulysses walked to the tent and found that there were already many people waiting in line. It seemed that the charm of free goods was really great. From time to time, there were people who came out of the tent, groaning and sighing, seemingly losing the game. But what were the prizes? Why did most of those in line have nervous and excited faces, while those who fail were all downcast?

It was Ulysses' principle of life to ask others if he didn't understand something. He gently patted the bald guest in the front and asked, "Excuse me, what is the prize for this game?"

The bald guest turned around, looked at Ulysses, and said, "first time?"

"Mhm"

"No wonder. The prize is the most precious item of this bazaar. Everyone who has been here once all knows about it. It can be said that more than half of the people came to this market for it."

"Then what is it?"

"It is not a fixed thing. The prize is determined according to the race and practice of the participant, but it must be an item that is of great benefit to the holder's practice. You must know that the goods that are sold at this market are of different types. There are many of them, and there is no shortage of superb goods, but generally speaking, the better things have higher requirements for users. For example, Gundams, AI chips, and other technology products require you to have the characteristics of a new human; the three-headed hellhound requires you to practice top-level dark power; the Buddha's lotus platform requires you to accumulate great merits before you can use it; treasure weapons such as the whip require you to have a cultivation foundation to control..." As if the bald guest hadn't spoken in eight hundred years, he talked eloquently for more than half an hour, making Ulysses' head swim.

"All in all, the prize is an item that will definitely improve the user's abilities." After ignoring the useless information, Ulysses caught the point of the bald guest's words.

"You make a good novice monk." The bald guest made a strange remark to Ulysses and then walked into the tent. It turned out that they were already at the top of the line before they knew it. Ulysses breathed a sigh of relief, and decided to avoid consulting bald people in the future. This experience really scared him.

A few minutes later, the bald guest walked out of the tent and said, "ill-fated! ill-fated!" Then he strode away, seemingly losing the game.

Finally, it was Ulysses's turn, but Ulysses was not particularly excited or nervous. In his opinion, the prizes were nothing more than gadgets that could strengthen the user's magic defense or agility. How could truly precious treasures be given away for free? After entering the tent, Ulysses unexpectedly found that there was no one inside, only a table with three sheets of paper and a black box on the table.

It seemed that the three questions were on these three pieces of paper, and the prize was in that box. But wasn't the host of this game afraid of someone taking the box away without permission? With such a question Ulysses picked up the questions. After a glance, the question made Ulysses speechless in an instant.

The first question: What does one plus one equal to?The second question: How many days in a year?The third question: How many hours are there in a day?

"Are you serious? Who couldn't answer those questions?" Ulysses did not hesitate to fill in the correct answer on the paper. When he finished writing, the black box opened automatically with a click, and a black book appeared in front of Ulysses.

At this time, a melodious bell came from outside the tent, accompanied by the shout, "The market is closing! The market is closing! The gate will be shut soon! The Gate will be shut soon!", announcing that the market was about to end. Ulysses didn't have time to read the black book carefully, and ran to the entrance of the market.

He needed to get out before the gate closed. As he passed the gate, he encountered the same strange phenomenon when he came in, no matter how he walked forward, he couldn't reach the opposite side of the gate.

What happened?'

Ulysses began to doubt his eyes again?

When Ulysses was in a daze, the black book in his clothes flashed, and after a while, Ulysses had already reached the door.

"Crap!" Ulysses glanced at the position of the stars and found that it was almost midnight. If he didn't get back soon, the city gate would be closed. He didn't want to sleep in the wild. After casting an acceleration spell on himself, he quickly ran in the direction of the city gate.

Soon after Ulysses left, the space where the camp was located was distorted. The entire camp was folded like a piece of paper, becoming smaller and smaller until it became a small dot. After a flash, the little dot disappeared without a trace.

...

"Huh? Someone actually passed the test? The questions in the game would change according to the tester's desire for the prize. All the gods and demons in the universe know that the prize can improve their strength. But there were people who were not tempted by it. It seems that I should go to see the next interstellar gods and demons bazaar, which will be open 100 million years later." In an unknown space, a colorful human figure was surprised.
