    “Friend, I wonder if you’re still interested in trading the face of the Disguiser that you hold?”


    Afterpleting the trade, Su Lu looked towards another mysterious man who possessed the material of the Disguiser.


    One piece of material was not secure enough, he wanted to prepare another one.


    “Of course!”


    The man in the ck robe got up, “but… I just want the Gaosuo people’s treasure map.”


    “Agreed!”


    Su Lu nodded in agreement, bypassing the trouble of trading in the secret room, they went directly towards the Scales of Justice.


    Su Lu ced the imprinted treasure map there, sealed, of course, and only the half he had obtained.


    Boom!


    This time, one side of the scale mmed heavily on the stone tform.


    “What?”


    “The treasure map of the Gaosuo people, is it actually genuine?”


    “The severe tilt of the scale at least indicates its value, which is much higher than that of the Disguiser!”


    “There is onest possibility, that the material of the Disguiser is fake!”


    Seeing the other party joyfully collecting the treasure map, Su Lu carefully checked the material in his hand.


    With the [Mystical Schr]’s intuition, and theparison provided by the cape girl, Su Lu confirmed that although the ‘jelly’ in his hand was a bit small, it was the real deal. He nodded in satisfaction and sat back down.


    Beside him, someone who had been impatient to trade quickly took the stage.


    The previous trades seemed to havepletely ignited the passion of those present and a fewrge transactions werepleted afterwards.


    “Thank you all, now it’s time for free discussion.”


    The mask-wearing elder finally stood up and announced the next phase of the salon.


    Everyone immediately stood up, forming their own circles. Quite a few people looked towards Su Lu.


    “Sorry, I need to go first!”


    Su Lu stood up, expressed his apology to the cape girl, and turned towards the stone gate he hade through.


    At his heightened level of perception, he noticed many eyes focusing on him, his heart sank.


    ‘As expected… Being a second-tier person, with much information on fourth-tier professions, in addition to having the Gaosuo people’s treasure map… I certainly have drawn a lot of attention.’


    As the stone door closed, the feeling of being watched by Su Lu immediately weakened.


    He stepped onto his tent, no longer paused, and quickly left the ck market.


    Several hourster, the underground salon also came to an end.


    After sending off thest guest, the masked elder leaned back on the sofa, exhaustion lining his face, and removed his mask to reveal a slightly weary, yet wise and animated old face.


    “Who could have imagined that… the person controlling nearly half the earnings of the ck market is none other than Archbishop Marlon’s right-hand man, Hughes?”


    A lightughter came from the darkness, as a man walked out.


    He was tall, wearing a tight ck suit, with short steel-like hair. His muscles bulged with explosive force.


    “Captain Harris!”


    Hughes slightly bowed his head in respect, “The transcendent in the wilderness are alsombs of our lord, they need the guidance of light…”


    If it was said that the church waspletely unaware of the ck market and was powerless, it would be a big joke.


    Of course, Hughes also knew that those top in-the-wild professionals may not be unaware of what was happening behind the scenes, but they wisely chose to remain silent.


    “The groundwork must be elerated! Today even the treasure map of the Gaosuo ancestors showed up!”


    Harris materialized half a treasure map in his hand, it was the one Su Lu had previously traded with him!


    “Besides… several high school students who encountered ghosts in the Silent Forest imed to have seen many map symbols in the cursed old mansion… What the hell! What rtionship does the Gaosuo people’s treasure map have with the Angus… that family?”


    Harrisined.


    As he said the final family name, as if he had remembered something, he fell silent, looking at the suddenly wide-eyed Hughes.


    It seemed that even the name Angus Gold was a curse!


    “The map of the Gaosuo ancestors was probably brought out of the nature reserve by the Gered bandits…” Bishop Hughes said in a calm tone: “And they paid a bloody price for it… The Battle of Deste Valley, the fate of the gant thief Zoren is unknown, but Gered survived, and it is currently unknown where he has gone to recover from his injuries…”


    The curse of the Evil Spirit Knight kills a certain number of people at regr intervals.


    It seemed that Gered was quite lucky as the curse order was behind the three prisoners of Su Lu.


    Otherwise, in his heavily injured state, he might not have been able to withstand the sudden attack of the Evil Spirit Knight.


    “Gered is an A-ss fugitive, with the potential to promote his profession to legend, he must be arrested or killed as soon as possible!”


    Hughes made a gesture: “Besides… He seems to know some secrets of the


    Gaosuo people.”


    “Knowing the secrets of the Gaosuo ancestors is not just Gered, but also that guy today. Is he Gered’s subordinate? Or someone from another power?”


    Harrisined unhappily: “We should have arrested him and made him spit out everything.”


    “I’ve said it… the unpredictable teleportation of the secret realm is its foundation, and it cannot be turned around… What’s more, once this matter spreads, the prosperity here will disintegrate instantly…”


    Hughes said, “The value of that man is definitely not as great as the entire ck market.”


    This free market was not just a gold mine, but also the best tform for the


    Federation and the church to grasp Kangni State transcendent professionals.


    By secretly manipting some supplies, issuing tasks, they could effectively suppress the growth of the transcendent or achieve certain goals. “So… he really got away? I have to say, he is quite a shrewd and smart young man!”


    Harris snorted: “What are you going to do about the Silent Forest?”


    “It’s not what we’re going to do, but the news will inevitably spread… when that happens, it will certainly attract arge number of in-wild professionals.”


    Hughes said, “But with the horror of the Demon Mansion, I doubt that any transcendent will be able to prate its depths.”


    “Not necessarily… I’ve sent people to observe secretly. That mansion has recently suffered some serious damage…”


    Harris suddenly said.


    “If that’s the case… the expulsion of evil is the inalienable duty of us clergy!


    Hughes said in a firm tone.


    Given the chance, he would definitely hope topletely destroy the Silent Forest and the old mansion within it.


    Any buildings of demons and their followers existing in the world were a humiliation to the faith of the Goddess!


    Aplishing this task would be the greatest glory for any clergy of the righteous god and they would gain great merit. “Good, in this incident, we might be able to reach an agreement.”


    Harrisughed, his eyes full of ambiguous meanings.


    Angus Gold… a top-tier demon family, even their family name was cursed, carrying unspeakable horror.


    What kind of items would such a transcendent family leave behind?
