Chapter 2192: Chapter 1222: An Unexpected Invitation

Accompanied by the sound of urgent prompting voice, Asher Porter’s respectful voice came through.

In Asher Porter’s report, Leo Ray not only learned the latest situation of Lion City in the Royal Capital but also received an unexpected piece of news.

“Asher Porter, are you saying that’s an invitation to the Shadow Market?”

Leo Ray’s eyes lit up and he confirmed again with his Prime Minister subordinate.

“Yes, Lord, that entirely black invitation was placed on Her Majesty’s throne in Lion Castle. We accompanied Her Majesty in inspecting the damage in the Royal Capital, and then saw it in the King’s Hall.”

Asher Porter’s respectful voice immediately responded, “Unexpectedly, the messenger of the Shadow Market can penetrate deep into our central core. It was my dereliction that I failed to guard Her Majesty’s throne well!”

“It’s not your fault; I’m aware of the defense measures of the Coldflame Palace. Even multiple Tier 6 Experts can’t forcibly invade from outside, and there are absolutely no defensive blind spots.”

Leo Ray gently rubbed his chin and said, “Perhaps their messenger slipped in amidst the chaos when countless roots just receded.”

“Speaking of, the Shadow Market, huh? That is indeed a mysterious and unpredictable external force.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, recalling the intelligence about the Shadow Market.

The first time he heard this term was from the mouth of Ice Demon Jals.

This old alchemist who often traveled in the Outer Regions participated in such a gathering once by chance.

“According to Jals, it’s an extremely large mobile city that might appear in any corner of the Outer Region, providing trade convenience to the Ten Thousand Clans.”

“After all, whether it’s the proud Elf Tribe, the stubborn Dwarf Clan, or the Winged Race residing in the Sky Island, these mysterious and long-lived races are generally aloof and secluded, rarely taking the initiative to interact with other races, sometimes even being hostile to each other.”

“However, necessary exchanges and trade are indispensable at many times, and the Shadow Market provides a platform for such exchanges and trade among the Ten Thousand Clans and even acts as a mediator in disputes as a neutral party.”

“At the Shadow Market, you might see any isolated tribe, coming for their needs, for trade, or to obtain news and information.”

“Besides basic trade items like food, resources, and crafts, high-tier equipment, magic medicine, magical scrolls, and skill scrolls are abundant, but the premise of trade is to present items that satisfy the seller.”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray’s face couldn’t help but show a hint of excitement.

No matter what, if he could acquire high-tier equipment in bulk from the Shadow Market, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the level of equipment across the Human World, the effects would be clear, and even unexpected gains could be obtained.

An example being the Stone of God, which Rosy Queen Ester obtained by chance from the Shadow Market with her teacher’s help, this was also the second time he heard the term Shadow Market.

“But the premise is that they are willing to trade with the Human Clan. After all, since the Era of Blankness, the Human Clan has hardly truly entered the core areas of the Outer Region, having mostly only competed with marginal races like Half-Orcs.”

“This means that those powerful races standing at the peak of strength probably won’t take the Human Clan seriously, let alone trade with us on equal terms.”

“And if I want to lead the Human Clan to gain a foothold in the Outer Region, then I must first create some fame, strive to gain recognition from some powerful races, make some new allies, and use them as a breakthrough to further compete in the Outer Region.”

Leo Ray thought about this while nodding thoughtfully.

No matter what, the appearance of the Shadow Market invitation undoubtedly allows my side to integrate into the Outer Region faster and learn more about the Outer Region.

Of course, from the current situation, I also have two entry points for deploying into the Outer Region.

First, going to the Dwarf Elf Kingdom to complete Prince Vid’s commission, bringing back the news that the Spatial Train still exists.

But according to Elusa, the Fog Dream Valley area where the Dwarf Elf Kingdom is located is occupied by a group of Red Dragons, and going there will inevitably result in a confrontation with the Red Dragons, as the Dragon Clan is a highly territorial race.

The critical thing is, this group of Red Dragons might be the clan chasing after the group of Red Night.

Before this, I had a direct confrontation with that huge guy named Reds, and although eventually forced him to retreat, I still vividly remember that arrogant face.

Now, my strength has evolved greatly, and it’s time to take action on my promise to solve this big problem for Red Night.

Meanwhile, if the Dwarf Elf Kingdom is still intact, they could conveniently become my first ally in the Outer Region.

Second, in the Dark Elf Kingdom where Elusa and Teresa are located.

Compared to the Dwarf Elf Kingdom, the unfathomable Dark Elf Kingdom is undoubtedly superior.

Elusa once told me that the Dark Elf Kingdom not only has numerous Tier 6 Experts but also has formidable existences that even she does not know about sitting guard.

This means that ignoring the special existence of the Saint Night Kingdom, if there is no opportunity, they are unlikely to establish a true ally relationship with the Human Clan.
