Chapter 131 Entering Tarot
Sally Valens.
Born in a secret family, a real descendant of a famous family.
It is conceivable that the wealth she possesses must be no less than that of William Butcher.
Chen Ji and William Butcher have an average relationship.
But he and Sally Valens are partners for a short time, and the start-up capital he lacks can be obtained from Sally Valens!
It's just cooperation.
Who is not a cooperation?
The impoverished secret family is both a gift and a burden!
And it is much easier for him to convince Sally Valens than to convince William Butcher!
"Wealth?"
Sally Valens blinked her beautiful eyes, seeming a little caught off guard, but still nodded seriously.
After all, it is not common for the acting Supreme Mage to take the initiative to communicate with her, and she must seize this opportunity firmly!
Recently, other secret families have been secretly moving, trying to squeeze out the Valens family and occupy the secret realm of the earth where they live!
If she hadn't backed Kamar-Taj and made the Hidden Family feel in awe, they would have been forced to compromise!
Once she gave in and left the Secret Realm of Earth, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven to come back!
Who would give up the benefits they had?
No resources.
No matter how brilliant you are, no matter how gifted you are, you will eventually be like everyone else!
As long as they are in the Secret Realm of Earth, the descendants of the Hidden Family will have more or less secret magic talents. Even if there is only one genius, they can lead the family to rise again!
So...
She must not give in!
Moreover, she must find a thigh in time to provide shelter for the family. She originally had her eyes on William Butcher, but found that William Butcher was just a showman and could only talk on paper!
And Chen Ji, whom she despised, actually rose against the trend and quickly surpassed the Secret Master to become the Acting Supreme Mage!
This almost made her collapse.
She couldn't sleep almost every night.
Now.
The opportunity to win Chen Ji's friendship is in front of her, how can she not take a gamble? !
After all, Chen Ji's brain, wisdom, strength, and demeanor... all eclipsed all the masters of mystic magic!
"Sally."
"Don't mind the friction in the past."
"You have no obligation to be friends with me."
"But I want to develop an energy ring based on the hanging ring, giving it the ability to attack, and I need to buy a lot of magic metal."
"If..."
"You are willing to cooperate with me, then the sale of the energy ring will be fully handed over to your family."
Chen Ji smiled.
He did not intend to distribute the energy ring to all mystic magicians for free.
But...
Sell!
Once this core technology is distributed for free, it will breed the ambition of the mystic magicians.
If the mystic magicians hold the energy ring in their hands, gather together, and attack him...
That will be meaningless!
Of course.
Before that, he must purchase a large amount of dragon scale metal from the Tarot Secret Realm.
The material and hardness of dragon scale metal are suitable for the development of energy rings!
As for... Vibranium? Uru God Steel?
How could Wakanda and Asgard tolerate the influx of strategic resources of national treasure level into Kamar-Taj?
In essence.
The three forces are in a competitive relationship!
Who would tolerate another force to grow alone?
Only Tarot Secret Realm!
It has long established trade relations with Kamar-Taj.
The magic potions, dragon scale metals, and various magic weapons produced by Tarot Secret Realm were distributed to various temples after being enchanted by the secret master.
The price of dragon scale metal has always remained high.
Because...
The production of dragon scale metal is mysterious, and it takes about a hundred ancient coins to buy one piece!
This is a strategic material.
If it weren't for Kamar-Taj and the ancestors of Tarot, who sealed the dark dwellers into the gates of hell together, I'm afraid Tarot would not trust Kamar-Taj.
"Energy ring?"
"Give the hanging ring the ability to attack?"
"Can you really do it?"
Sally Valens' beautiful eyes flashed.
She almost suspected that she had hallucinations.
Energy ring?
Chen Ji really dared to think!
Even the forefathers of Kamar-Taj spent countless years to invent the signature magic weapon, the Suspended Ring.
Chen Ji, how could he accomplish it on his own?
This is simply a fantasy!
However...
Sally Valens immediately thought that Chen Ji had mastered an original rune through the Rune Stone!
Even Odin, the king of the gods, was amazed.
Could it be that Chen Ji intended to give the Suspended Ring the ability to attack through the power of the rune?
That would be somewhat credible!
"It should be possible."
"As long as you find a specific rune combination, you can enchant the Suspended Ring again and give it a fantasy entity."
"The secret technique I created, the King's Treasure, is also based on this principle."
"Sally."
"You can choose to refuse, it doesn't matter, but if you choose to cooperate, I owe you a favor."
Chen Ji smiled.
A forced melon is not sweet.
If there is no reliable partner, just go to the Ancient One.
I believe that the Ancient One will never refuse Chen Ji!
The price might be...
He must take over the position of Sorcerer Supreme!
But he has figured it out. Taking over the position of Sorcerer Supreme temporarily will bring more benefits than disadvantages, until Stephen Strange enters the fold, and then he will pass the title to him.
No loss for either side!
"You owe me a favor..."
"How much money do you need?"
"At present, I can only take out five thousand ancient coins."
Sally Valens said frankly.
Really!
Chen Ji nodded secretly.
Five thousand ancient coins can buy fifty pieces of dragon scale metal.
For the research and development of energy rings, it is obviously more than enough!
After all, dragon scale metal is produced from the lake bottom guardian of Tarot Secret Realm. A piece of dragon scale metal is as big as a washbasin, and the material consumed by the hanging ring is only one percent!
"Enough, enough."
"When do we set off?"
Chen Ji smiled.
Five thousand ancient coins.
This is an astronomical figure in the secret world.
The currency of the secret world is completely different from that of the real world.
Even if the ancient coins are put up for auction, they can be sold for a million US dollars, and there is no market for them!
It can be seen that Sally Valens has changed her attitude and fully recognized his value, which is also closely related to his ability.
"The Tarot Secret Realm."
"Located in the Western Regions."
"My family elders also married women in the Tarot Secret Realm, so let me take you there."
Sally Valens nodded slightly.
Afterwards, a secret door was opened, leading directly to the Western Regions.
Through the secret door, you can see a magical bamboo forest, lush and green, with a mysterious and extraordinary atmosphere, as if it has spirituality!
"Your family elders also married Tarot women?"
"That saves time."
Chen Ji was surprised.
Immediately, under the leadership of Sally Valens, he walked towards the depths of the magical bamboo forest.
Along the way.
The green branches of the magical bamboo forest swayed.
It closed quickly, covering the entrance of the bamboo forest.
It was still changing its position, trying to hinder the two people's progress.
However.
For Sally Valens, the secret shortcut of the magical bamboo forest was already clear to her.
Soon, they came to a waterfall, with rivers pouring down and streams gurgling.
Even the hanging ring cannot enter Tarot directly, because Tarot has the seal of the Dark Gate.
This seal isolates the operation of the space magic tool.
It also imprisoned the Soul Eater behind the door!
No one knows where the Soul Eater came from.
It appeared out of thin air in the Tarot Secret Realm and destroyed countless buildings and technologies, almost cutting off the inheritance of Tarot!
As a result, the Tarot Secret Realm is now scattered into multiple villages, and can only barely maintain the survival of the entire tribe by selling magic potions and dragon scale metal.
"Let's go."
"The current leader of the Tarot Secret Realm is named Yingli."
"She is also responsible for the sale of magic potions and dragon scale metal."
Sally Valens activated her magic power, and saw the waterfall sweeping, forming a space vortex.
The two stepped into the space vortex one after another.
They appeared in the depths of the pool, with crystal clear corals and various fish swimming slowly, as if they were in an underwater world.
Chen Ji was amazed.
The next second.
The two of them appeared in another space.
This space has a vast territory, continuous mountains, and lush vegetation.
In the open area ahead, there are also fantasy creatures running, lying on their sides, looking like horses but not horses, unicorns with scales all over their bodies, white foxes with nine tails, and firebirds with burning wings...
Almost all of them are recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"!
This is a fantasy world!
It is also the largest space secret realm on earth, no one else!
If it weren't for the protection of Kamar-Taj, I'm afraid the Tarot Secret Realm would have collapsed long ago and been occupied by other secret families.
"Sally?"
"Why did you come to Tarot?"
A graceful questioning voice sounded.
I saw a middle-aged woman wearing a robe, with long hair tied up, exuding a mysterious aura, leading the guards and appearing in front of the two of them at the first time.
One of them was a burly silver-haired old man, holding a dragon-scale long stick in his hand, with a majestic expression on his face, and he immediately glared at Chen Ji.
"Yingnan."
"Let me introduce him. He is Chen Ji, the acting Supreme Sorcerer of Kamar-Taj."
"However, he came to Tarot with me for no other purpose, just to buy dragon scale metal."
Sally Valens bowed.
For Yingnan, she was just a junior.
She had no right to be domineering.
"Acting Supreme Sorcerer?"
"Chen?"
"So Kamar-Taj really has an acting Supreme Sorcerer."
"It's not Kamar-Taj that buys dragon scales, but you buy dragon scales yourself?"
A strange color flashed across Yingnan's face.
The difference between the two can convey different messages!
The acting Supreme Sorcerer actually bypassed Kamar-Taj and bought dragon scale metal without authorization. Is he planning to set up a new business?
Or...
He and Sally decided to get married and join forces?
Yingnan's eyes flashed.
If she couldn't find out the truth, she wouldn't dare to sell the dragon scale metal.
After all, if the dragon scale metal was made into weapons and used to attack the Tarot Secret Realm, she would become a sinner!
"That's right."
"I plan to buy dragon scale metal for the research of magic props, and there is no other purpose."
"I swear in the name of Vishanti."
Chen Ji told the truth.
However, he concealed the key information. There was no need to make his research project known to everyone.
Things are accomplished by secrecy, and failure is caused by leaks.
If the idea of the energy ring spreads to the outside world, it will inevitably cause a big disturbance and may become the target of public criticism.
He cannot allow any mistakes in this plan!
After all, this is about the awakening of the gods. Only if the energy ring is successfully developed can the overall strength of Kamar-Taj be quickly improved and have the power to compete with the Eternals!
"Sally."
"Since you brought Chen to the Tarot Secret Realm, then I will definitely not doubt your intentions... How much dragon scale metal do you plan to buy?"
"At present, there are only ten pieces of dragon scale metal left for trading."
Yingnan nodded.
It must be said that Chen Ji's oath in the name of Vishandi made her feel a little relieved.
Because the secret energy of Kamar-Taj all comes from this Vishandi!
If Chen Ji breaks his oath, Vishandi will also take back his magic power and turn him into a mortal again.
Moreover, as the acting Supreme Sorcerer of Kamar-Taj and the future Supreme Sorcerer, the Tarot Secret Realm is not easy to offend.
Without the protection of the Supreme Mage, other secret forces and evil sects will covet Tarot, this fat sheep!
"Ten pieces?"
"So Dragon Scale Metal is also engaged in hunger marketing?"
Chen Ji curled his lips secretly.
"Hungry marketing?"
"It seems that you don't know the origin of Dragon Scale Metal."
"This is the scale dropped by the guardian of the lake bottom."
"And we can't control the will of the guardian of the lake bottom. We can only be responsible for salvaging the Dragon Scale Metal that floats to the surface."
Yingnan explained thoughtfully.
So that's it.
Chen Ji nodded secretly.
"Ten pieces of Dragon Scale Metal."
"Two thousand ancient coins."
"One hand for money and one hand for goods."
The burly old man was serious and directly quoted the price.
"Tsk."
"Swindler!"
Chen Ji's eyes moved.
He immediately checked the entry panel of this sturdy old man.
