Chapter 182 Rift Valley Gathering Place

Mala Canyon.

As the sun sets, the warm red afterglow reflects the vast undulating hills, and the entire mountain range is covered with a light red color.

In the dim light, a triangular area is embedded in the middle of the green forest under the triangle.

In the triangular area, you can vaguely see the bustling crowd flowing in and out.

There are two entrances and exits around the area, connecting two rough gravel driveways.

The guards at the entrances and exits are wearing black leather armor and collect coins from people entering.

The types of people entering and leaving are different, including sloppy and dirty wanderers and pioneers who are alone, groups of mercenaries, and the most are armed convoys from major business houses.

The convoy did not stop all day today, nor did it stop at the Soros family's transit station on the way, but rushed all the way and finally arrived here before the sun went down.

Rift Valley gathering place

This gathering area is located on the busiest trade road in the Traorin District. The caravans and pedestrians will basically stop here to rest and replenish their supplies before setting off. It is the largest gathering area in the entire Traorin District.

In the evening, there are endless carriages and horses on the road, all of which arrive here before dark.

When approaching here, the caravan slowed down, and the car turned the wheels and slowly drove towards the door card.

Lu He asked the little maid to open the curtains and looked at the scenery on the road with interest.

Outside the window, a team of mercenaries in brown leather armor passed by. There were a total of seven people in the team, including a hot woman in black.

The leader was a burly short-haired man with a very wide black heavy sword on his back. There was a large bloody scar on his right face, which looked a bit hideous.

The team was talking loudly about which tavern to go to drink tonight after handing over the task.

Lu He looked at the mercenaries. They were quite strong. They were all at the level of knight attendants, and three of them were high-ranking.

Including the woman in black.

The woman's temper was as hot as her figure. After feeling Lu He's gaze, she turned back and glared at Lu He, and made a throat-cutting gesture.

Only then did Lu He see her face clearly.

Her wine-red eyes were similar to his, her facial lines were smooth, her face was beautiful, and her slender and plump figure was wrapped in leather armor, unusually full and mature.

Lu He smiled in response.

You have to pay to enter and exit the gathering area, and the fee is not low, one silver coin per unit, both people and horses have to pay.

Near dusk, there were more people and caravans entering the gathering area to spend the night, and there was a queue at the entrance. This time, José did not cut in line, but queued up honestly to enter.

It was not that his morality suddenly became higher, but that this gathering area was jointly established by several nobles, and the Soros family also had shares, but they were not much.

After entering, Jose led the convoy straight to a black circular building several dozen meters high in the center of the gathering area.

The best hotel here is dedicated to serving the nobles.

...

In the evening.

In the living room, the fireplace was burning with warm flames, and the pure wool carpet on the floor looked a little old, but you could still feel its exquisiteness and magnificence from the pattern.

Lu He leaned on the sofa, took a sip of the hot milk prepared by Nicole, and looked at the gathering area below through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window.

As night fell, the temperature dropped sharply.

But the nightlife in the gathering area had just begun, and there were bonfires and light bulbs everywhere, just like daytime.

Lu He put the soul crystal in his hand, whose color had faded, into a mahogany box and placed it on the table.

With the devouring power of the soul seed, he absorbed it very quickly, and in half a day he sucked out the soul power inside.

But it takes time to digest it completely, not so fast.

In addition, it is not clear whether it can help him completely restore his soul after complete digestion.

After all, his soul is completely different from that of an ordinary first-level wizard, because the existence of the Black Prison Peacock Soul Seed makes his soul of extremely high quality.

The soul power in the soul crystal is just the soul of an ordinary person, which has an effect on him, but the effect is limited.

Unless the amount is large and full, the Black Prison Peacock Soul Seed is forcibly fed and full.

Looking at the mahogany box, Lu He's eyes flickered.

He was hesitating.

Should he use the mahogany box to let Gust hold a sacrifice again to collect pure soul power.

Although he roughly understood this mahogany box, he couldn't use it himself. There was a rune on it that was very complicated and strange, like a password.

This rune restricted the operation of the mahogany box and could only be opened in a set way.

In other words, it must be activated by a sacrifice.

So he kept Gust's life and didn't enforce justice on behalf of heaven and send him to the mother river to wash away his sins.

Lu He was not hesitating about killing people. His hands were also stained with a lot of blood after he changed his career as a wizard.

What he hesitated about was the killing method. The sacrifice of the Three-Eyed Cult was inhumane and extremely cruel. People had to endure endless pain in torture before they died.

Lu He thought that he was more rational, cold and ruthless when doing experiments, but he did not think that he was a pervert.

He could not accept this method of sacrifice at present.

"Alas... there is no need to do this for the time being."

Lu He sighed and put away the mahogany box. He felt that his heart was not cold enough.

If it was cold enough, he would directly sacrifice blood to the gathering area under his feet. It is not that he does not have the strength to do so.

It is just that he is not in a hurry for the time being. It is okay, but it is not necessary.

"Sir, we are ready. We can go out for dinner." Sai Erya pushed the door open shyly, a little embarrassed.

Under Nicole's instigation, she finally changed her clothes. She was dressed in black, a black dress, and a black silk veil, like a cold black snow lotus, quietly blooming.

Lu He's eyes lit up and he admired it. He smiled and stood up until the half-elf blushed, and took her hand out.

Downstairs, Jose, Mark and others were already waiting.

On the way here, Jose said there was a store here that sold the specialties of the Traorin District.

Lu He always found it difficult to refuse the two things related to beauty, food and beauty, so he went to try them.

The food store was not far away, just next to the hotel, and it was just a few steps away.

The name of the store was Traor Entertainment Center.

The first floor was a bar, the second floor was a restaurant, and the third floor was other entertainment projects.

Under Jose's guidance, several people went directly to the second floor.

In the lobby on the second floor, a handsome harpist played beautiful music, and a funny clown performed acrobatics next to him. A group of people sat around and laughed from time to time.

The floor of the lobby was covered with black wooden boards, and various totems and oil paintings were hung around it. Many people sat in the restaurant, enjoying the food and chatting.

At the counter, a middle-aged woman wearing a black bow tie and a white long-sleeved shirt with flowers was placing bottles of drinks similar to wine.

Seeing Lu He and his party, the woman put down the bottle, greeted them, and said with a smile:

"Welcome to the guests, please come in, what do you want to eat? We have Terao black goat barbecue, Black Forest cake, Kola flame steak, milk wine..."

"For the time being, all of them will be served."

Lu He interrupted her introduction. After becoming a wizard, he never chose. The main point was that I want them all.

There is no need to worry about not being able to finish eating and wasting. Mark and Dutan are the gluttons among gluttons.

"Okay, please sit down first."

Lu He's words made the woman look him up and down, and she was immediately excited when she saw the Soros family logo.

This is a real rich man, not a mercenary who doesn't know how high the sky is and doesn't pay for meals.

Led by the waiter, several people came to a big table in the corner of the restaurant.

Nicole took out a towel from Du Tan's bag, wiped the chair carefully several times, and put the tableware and tablecloth in front of Lu He before letting him sit down.

This series of actions made Zhen Yisi, who had just come up, roll her eyes and complain in her heart.

I don't know which family's spoiled young master ran out.

It really opened her eyes that she was still so particular in the Traorin District.
