Abyss Summoner

Dwarves.

Short in stature, rugged in appearance, strong and brave, unrestrained in personality, diligent, loyal, and steadfast, known for their superb skills in mining and jewelry making, creating wealth and greatly contributing to the prosperity of their cities.

This is a race with more positive connotations than negative ones; in the eyes of ordinary people, dwarves symbolize loyalty and bravery.

But compared to dwarves, gray dwarves are nothing but scum.

These evil creatures dwell underground. Most gray dwarves are bald (including females), wearing earth-colored clothes to blend with the stones. In their lairs, they might wear jewelry, but this jewelry is always dull.

Gray dwarves despise most races and are generally unwelcome in any other society.

They are ugly, despicably greedy, ungrateful, it can be said, a complete rogue race.

Good people cannot survive in the Dark Realm.

Establishing rules doesn’t mean they are a kind race.

Chen Feng arranged for the Enchanting Demon to accompany the bear goblin, not to flaunt his wealth but ultimately to buy loyalty at a high price.

He knows once his wealthy image is spread, those gray dwarves will rush towards him like piranhas smelling blood.

And now, Chen Feng has caught this big fish.

Sub-divine Artifact news?

Chen Feng did not expect the opposite party to start with such explosive news; this is the finale item of the auction precisely because of the Sub-divine Artifact’s appearance, attracting countless strong visitors from surrounding areas.

But the goblin in front of him now claims to know the specific features of the Sub-divine Artifact, which is undoubtedly astonishing news.

If he gains information in advance, it undoubtedly gives him a tactical advantage.

Chen Feng did not respond to Kadi’s words, he simply sat there, silent. The black cloak covered Chen Feng’s face and all lines of sight.

Watching Chen Feng remain silent, Kadi didn’t know what he was thinking. Just as this gray dwarf was about to further explain, he suddenly felt a chill around him, followed by an endless mental pressure pouring onto him, a pressure that normal people cannot endure.

"How do I know you aren’t lying to me?" Chen Feng’s cold voice reached Kadi’s ears.

Chen Feng’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was filled with icy coldness and mocking scorn, as if the surrounding power had also become heavier with Chen Feng’s questioning. At this moment, Kadi’s bones made creaking sounds, seemingly about to shatter into pieces.

"No! The kind Kadi is different from those lying goblins, I swear by the council, every word I say is true, and I am the owner of this shop. If I am found to cheat you, you can totally come and kill me!"

Facing the danger of death, Kadi finally couldn’t hold on; his face showed fear as he hurriedly explained to Chen Feng.

After hearing the explanation, the pressure around Chen Feng eased a little, he leaned against the chair and straightforwardly said: "What do you want from me?"

If initially, Kadi had any doubts about Chen Feng’s identity, now he has no lingering thoughts. This is indeed the city of gray dwarves, and logically, anyone who has a conflict here with gray dwarves or kills one won’t have a good end.

The problem is, the opponent is a Legendary Being.

At this level of power, he even has the right to debate for himself; with some cost, he could leave Dengshi City alive.

Rules are rigid, but people are flexible.

Laws are often established for the weak, while the strong have the right to transcend and even trample laws.

Even if the council has six legendary figures, the destruction power of a legendary being is too terrifying. Once they fight, practically half of Dengshi City will be destroyed.

In such a situation, the council would have two plans: one requiring the opponent to pay death compensation and violate legal fines.

The other is to unite to kill him when he walks into the wild, to uphold Dengshi City’s belated dignity.

But whichever choice, it means the council will not tear apart with a legendary being face to face.

Every era has shadowy unspoken rules.

It’s like you can never know how dark the other’s heart is beneath a glamorous exterior.

Of course, there are rarely legendary beings actually killing in Dengshi City; more often, they would severely punish the opponent without outright murder. Legendary beings live longer, and during their long life journeys, they have learned ways to deal with conflicts.

"Please forgive my rudeness, I was not intentionally trying to provoke you!! I am truly eager to cooperate with you!"

That’s about enough.

Seeing Kadi drenched in sweat and pale as paper, Chen Feng paused for a moment, then all pressure disappeared.

Feeling the departure of death, the gray dwarf let out a long breath, showing a face of surviving a disaster.

"State your purpose." Chen Feng’s tone remained as cold as ever.

Upon hearing the word purpose, greed shone in Kadi’s eyes, he extended three fingers: "You know the value of this information, I want thirty boxes like the previous ones."

Boxes?

Containers for storing royal jelly.

"Knowing the information doesn’t mean obtaining the Sub-divine Artifact, thirty is too much, I will only give you ten." Chen Feng rejected Kadi’s proposal bluntly.

"This..." Kadi hesitated.

"Opportunities come but once." Chen Feng said condescendingly.

"Alright... but I have a proposal, if you need to sell those boxes, you can cooperate with me, I will offer you a fair price."

Chen Feng did not respond, just nodded, and a second later, ten boxes appeared in front of Kadi.

Kadi opened a corner of the box, sniffing the sweet scent inside, showing a face of enjoyment: "Praise the Goddess! This is simply a heavenly gift!"

The gray dwarf did not forget his promise; after confirming the royal jelly, he leaned forward and said in a very low voice: "The item in this auction is a book, the Book of Darkness, and it’s said that once a mage obtains it, unimaginable power can be gained."

[The Book of Darkness]

[An infamous tome revered by Demons, its existence like a contract rigorously enforcing equivalent exchange principles]

[Usage: With each opening by the owner, sacrifices are required, but random Evil Divine Skill recorded within can be obtained and used, this evil spell being a one-time divine technique which expires after use]

It can be said that owning the Book of Darkness along with equivalent sacrifices means Chen Feng has acquired the caster’s ability; if the Blood Sacrifice can satisfy the Book of Darkness, it can even unleash power comparable to legendary strength.

This is a living evil book.

In the long river of history, each appearance warned of a forthcoming disaster.

"I’ve understood." From then on, Chen Feng didn’t utter another word, and after an hour when Xiong Da and Xiong Er walked out of the room with weak legs, Chen Feng got up and left the tavern.

Kadi, with its fawning smile, sent Chen Feng out of the tavern, hoping he would visit again, but once Chen Feng’s figure completely disappeared, the lowly expression transformed into a sinister smile.

The gray dwarf’s body sank into the shadow, at this moment, the surrounding hazy lights clung to him like sinister spells, Kadi sneeringly said: "Respected mage, hope you purchase the treasured items you want, but unfortunately, you might never visit my small shop again in this lifetime..."
