Chapter 569: Grand Scene and Lady of Pain (7K)

Crazy, completely crazy.

Varro watched Tang Sen sweep across the entire street like a carpet, constantly taking out immeasurable wealth in exchange for a lot of treasures——

Not just shops, Tang Sen even spared other shops, including restaurants and pubs. Everything with a price was put into Tang Sen's demiplane in the name of Lord Varro.

Varro gradually became numb.

He suspected that Tang Sen used some kind of magical means to create some fake wealth out of thin air and deceived the sellers. Although it turned out that all the sellers confirmed that they received real gems and precious metals.

"Guests, please see, except in Sigil City, other places will not put such good products on the shelves."

In a gorgeous box, a devil was carefully holding out a huge box and placing it in front of Varro.

"This is a real artifact, the treasure of the store here."

"Artifact?" Tang Sen became a little interested.

He has almost swept through several streets, and has swept away a lot of legendary magic props and weapons, but this is the first time he has seen an artifact.

"Yes, the artifact!" the devil said with certainty: "If it weren't for Lord Varro's generous spending, I would never have taken it out. Everyone knows the value of the artifact."

He opened the box with a serious attitude, revealing the artifact contained in the finest mithril silk.

It's an axe.

"Holy Ax of the Dwarf King."

The devil's voice was fluctuating: "There was once a young dwarf prince who came up with the idea when he was witnessing the people facing danger. The dwarves needed something to bring them together. After that, the dwarf prince decided to set off immediately to find a way. Forge a weapon as a symbol of union.”

"He descended underground, carving out areas untouched by other dwarves. Finally, he entered the heart of a giant volcano, and with the help of the dwarven father-god Moradin crafted four powerful tools: the Rude Manuscript, Earth's Forge, Song's Anvil and Shaping Hammer."

"The dwarf prince used these four tools to forge the sacred ax of the dwarf king. When he returned to the clan with the artifact in hand, he successfully won peace and happiness for all the dwarves, ushering in a prosperous era for the dwarves. Which prince was later commemorated as the 'First King' , this artifact was also passed on to his successors in his old age, and has since become the official symbol of the Dwarf King."

Varro couldn't help but say: "It's so mysterious, then why is it in your hands?"

"Lord Varro, the devil naturally has his own channels, but I can guarantee that this artifact is real, and it has indeed brought prosperity to the dwarves."

"It's just that in a certain dark age, a bloody civil war started among the dwarves, and the artifact was lost as a result. After passing through many owners, it finally fell into my hands in a certain transaction."

"Its ability—"

"Needless to say." Tang Sen waved his hand: "Lord Varro bought it."

"Well, I'm going to get to the most important part." The devil was a little surprised.

"No, it's not important." Tang Sen shook his head, "For Master Varo, it doesn't matter how strong this weapon is. Let's move on to the next one."

"No more." The devil said: "This is the last product in our store. I must emphasize that this is an artifact and the price will be very expensive."

"In front of Mr. Varro, nothing can be called expensive." Tang Sen stood up: "It seems that there is no point in staying here anymore. Wrap up all the things Mr. Varro bought and pay the bill. !”

With this familiar routine, Varro walked out of another store with a dull expression. Looking at the smiling devil standing at the door behind him, he couldn't help but whisper: "Mr. Tang, how long do we have to purchase?"

"It depends on how many things there are in Sigil City." Tang Sen was obviously in a very happy mood.

"No, this is really an exaggeration. Hasn't Mr. Tang thought about the consequences? Your behavior is simply disrupting the market. I have noticed that those well-informed stores began to deliberately price goes up."

"Really?" Tang Sen didn't care: "This is normal. A large amount of money pours into the market, and a large amount of goods disappear from the market, which will naturally cause inflation."

This inflation will even spread through the City of Gates, affecting the entire multiverse.

The goddess of wealth may suddenly find that her divinity has been greatly reduced.

But what does this have to do with Tang Sen?

Anyway, Tang Sen doesn't think he will come to Sigil City for the second time. With so many good things, of course he will move back to Neverwinter City. Although there is no way for Neverwinter City to replace Sigil City's commercial position at once. After all, Neverwinter City Winterfell cannot connect the entire multiverse like Sigil, but it can at least greatly enrich Neverwinter's product categories and its appeal to others.

And the price you have to pay is just insignificant money.

The merchants in Sigil City made money, and Tang Sen got a large amount of treasures——

Win-win!

No, Varro also gained a reputation that quickly spread across the multiverse and even the gods took notice.

Triple win! What a win!

Unfortunately, Varro didn't think so. He only felt more and more uneasy, especially when the three of them officially entered the most prosperous downtown area. In full view of everyone, they took out sacks and bought a restaurant that was considered the most high-end even in Sigil City. By the time the store was emptied, Varro's uneasiness had reached its peak.

The gratitude and groveling of those businessmen did not give Varro any sense of accomplishment, but the eager gazes of others sent shivers down Varro's spine.

Tang Sen even bought a villa in the best location in Varo's name. In the next week, everyone in the City of Ten Thousand Doors knew Varo's name.

There is no longer even a need for Varo to go to those shops in person. All the merchants are constantly visiting Varo's residence with their goods, and then take away extremely rich wealth.

The prices they offered were higher and higher, but no one knew how deep Lord Varro's wallet was. There was no doubt that every night the tavern was filled with people who made a lot of money. The topics without exception revolve around Lord Varro, discussing his origins and the source of his wealth.

And soon, even the tavern itself was no longer satisfied with just selling wine and ingredients to this group of drinkers. Obviously, it was not only convenient and fast to move all the cellars and ingredients to Mr. Varro's mansion at once. , and can get higher prices. It even eliminates the need to serve customers.

Anyway, Mr. Varro accepts everyone who comes.

Fortunately, this is the City of Ten Thousand Gates after all, connected to the multiverse. There will not be a shortage of materials in the city, but the atmosphere has indeed been completely boosted. In just one week, not only the products of the City of Ten Thousand Gates, but also countless All the merchants took notice and brought products from the multiverse to Varro's mansion one after another.

It's not that businessmen don't know the consequences of doing this - inflation has been very obvious in Sigil City. The house price of Silver Star Tavern has increased five times, and the daily food and drinks have increased ten times. .

But no one cares.

After all, inflation has at least not spread to other outer planes and the main material plane. In other planes, money is still money and will not be affected by the madness in Sigil. After all, money is in This world is not just about gold, silver or gems, it is also one of the materials for casting spells.

As usual, Varro's mansion was bustling with traffic, and Tang Sen was standing in the hall, receiving all visiting businessmen.

Varro is naturally not here. In fact, after realizing that things were out of control, Varro had already begun to reject Tang Sen's "procurement plan." However, now the significance of Varro's failure to show up is of little significance. What is important is the truth. Gold and silver.

"I heard that Lord Varro stole the treasure house of the goddess of wealth, that's why he is so rich."

Tang Sen heard the whispers of two businessmen who were queuing below.

"No, that's not the version I heard. Lord Varro was actually the concubine of the wealthy girl. In order to please him, the goddess of wealth gave him countless wealth."

"Such a thing sounds impossible." Another businessman came over: "The real situation is that Lord Varro discovered a plane full of gems and gold, which is the source of his wealth. "

"You fart, that kind of plane doesn't exist in the world!"

"Why do you care so much? As long as I can make money, I made a special trip back to the star realm and purchased a large number of good things. I hope Lord Varo can take a fancy to it."

"This is your first time here? Lord Varro doesn't even exist. He will just tell you to wrap it all up and then slap you in the face with money."

"There has been such a big movement in Sigil City during this period, but the lady has not appeared at all."

"Madam will not care about this kind of thing. Even if Lord Varro buys the entire City of Ten Thousand Gates, it will be meaningless to the lady. Unless the goddess of wealth appears in the City of Ten Thousand Gates, she may be attracted to Attention. But the fact is that the gods cannot enter the City of Ten Thousand Gates. "

"I heard that all philosophical factions, including various external forces, have sent people to guard around this mansion and keep an eye on Lord Varro's whereabouts. There is no doubt that they can't do anything in Sigil City. But that doesn’t mean they can’t do anything else.”

"This wealth is really amazing." A businessman sighed: "Not to mention how much wealth Lord Varro has left, just the things he acquired during this period are enough for Jiu The prison lord cut off Hu himself."

"Lord of the Nine Hells? Haha, you underestimate Mr. Varro's allure."

"I heard that many priests of sects have received oracles from the gods. There is no doubt that Lord Varro's name is included in the oracles."

"Things at this level have nothing to do with us. Maybe those intelligence dealers will be interested."

"Information merchants? Well, all the intelligence merchants in Sigil City should be here. You don't think Lord Varro only buys physical goods, right? As far as I know, the first intelligence merchant who came to Lord Varro made money directly. Money that he could never imagine in his life!”

"Lord Varro is willing to buy all kinds of information about the multiverse at extremely high prices, including mysterious places, information on various planes, and of course, the most important thing is portals, all kinds of portal information , you can get astonishing wealth from Lord Varro!"

"Is there such a thing? Then if I know a secret portal in the City of Ten Thousand Gates, wouldn't I be able to sell it directly to Master Varo?"

"Of course you can, but you have missed the opportunity. Now, it may be difficult to sell non-duplicate information."

"It is no exaggeration to say that I think Master Varo is the person who knows the most about the various portals in the City of Ten Thousand Gates!"

"."

Tang Sen casually threw the goods brought by the merchant into the demiplane.

His demiplane has been expanded many times, and several demiplanes have even been specially opened to store various items in categories.

Listening to the increasingly outrageous rumors below, Tang Sen's heart remained unmoved.

What does what Mr. Varro does have to do with him?

Anyway, Mr. Varro also has a choice. He can either stay in Sigil City and enjoy everyone's admiration and covetation. Or, he can stay in Neverwinter City, which is also unable to fight. Tang Sen gave Varro Mr. Luo's choice is the latter.

In this way, not only can Mr. Varro be kept under his control and the matter about the Time Dragon will not be spread, but also the eyes of those who covet Mr. Varro will be able to focus on Neverwinter City.

Advertise Neverwinter and kill two birds with one stone.

"Next."

He called out, and immediately another businessman came forward. Like the other businessmen, he was holding a box and said cautiously, "Sir, this is good stuff."

"Stop talking nonsense, there are many people waiting behind you." Tang Sen waved his hand impatiently: "Wasting my time is wasting Lord Varro's time, and you can't afford it."

"Yes." The businessman hesitated: "But, this is a magical weapon of mine. Can I change it to a more private place?"

Tang Sen laughed mockingly: "Lord Varro buys more than this number of artifacts every day!"

He spread his fingers and said, "Just give me a casual introduction and quote a price. I'm very busy."

"Okay." The businessman looked behind him, then carefully opened the box, revealing a mask inside.

"The Mask of the God of Deception." His tone became solemn: "This is its name."

"This is a treasure that has been passed down by my clan for countless years. I only took it after hearing about Mr. Varro's reputation. A long time ago -"

"The story needs no introduction." Tang Sen interrupted him with a wave of his hand, squinting his eyes and looking at the mask.

The deceitful divinity in his body can indeed sense the power of the same source in this mask.

This artifact indeed comes from a god who once controlled the Deceiver Priesthood.

"Tell me what this thing is used for."

"Okay." The businessman's expression was a little complicated. The introduction language he had prepared for a long time was not used at all. Just like the rumors, Lord Varro didn't care about the quality of the thing when he was buying things. He seemed to just like to spend money. .

"This mask allows people to change their face and body shape at will -"

"It doesn't sound interesting." Tang Sen showed a dull expression: "Can this be considered a magical weapon? Stop making trouble, ordinary magic props have this effect."

"Of course it's different. Even the gods can't see through the disguise of the God of Deception——"

"Okay, okay." Tang Sen waved his hand and said, "Put down the things and take the money."

"ah?"

"Why, not selling it?" Tang Sen casually threw a sack of gems over.

The merchant opened the sack and took a look, and suddenly smiled: "Sell! Of course! This artifact belongs to Lord Varro!"

The businessman queuing up behind showed a real expression.

“When you have the time to spend your energy trying to sell products at high prices, it’s better to make more trips and bring something to sell.”

"Anyway, Lord Varro doesn't care about this at all."

"Calculating the time, it should be almost there."

Tang Sen sent away all the merchants and pondered.

If he continues to purchase, what he can acquire will no longer matter. What he has gained now is enough for Tang Sen to completely transform Neverwinter City. The most important thing is that Tang Sen has almost collected all kinds of information about the multiverse.

During this process, Tang Sen naturally triggered a lot of procurement tasks. The target procurement products were almost everywhere in the multiverse, whether it was the astral plane, the etheric plane, the elemental plane or even the outer plane and the main plane. In the material plane, there are even certain purchased goods in the Kingdom of God.

Tang Sen doesn't plan to do these tasks slowly by himself. The foundation has been laid. When Neverwinter City attracts the attention of the multiverse, there will naturally be a lot of people working for him. Whether it is money as reward, It is better to use the heavenly materials, earthly treasures and magic props purchased during this period as reward.

Of course, in addition to this, Tang Sen has also found the portal to Faerun.

Among the many portals in the City of Ten Thousand Gates, the portal to Faerun is not that precious information. This door is hidden in the ladies' area, in an underground bathroom. You only need to face the last one from the door. Say the password to the two faucets to activate the portal.

Tang Sen has also found out the location behind the portal.

The Underdark.

It's the familiar Underdark again, but fortunately, the location of the portal is not at the bottom of the Underdark, but on the upper level, in the city of the drow, Menzoberranzan.

This is also the reason why the drow elves are very common in the City of Ten Thousand Gates. This portal has obviously been controlled by the drow elves.

This is not good news for Tang Sen.

He would rather the location of the portal is closer to Neverwinter. After all, he can fully imagine how strong the threat he will face when he returns to Faerun.

The vengeful goddess will never want to see him enter Neverwinter intact.

And the Underdark, if Tang Sen remembered correctly, happened to be within the scope of the goddess's priesthood. In such a place, the risk of being exposed would be greatly increased.

Fortunately, it is not the worst result, because although Menzoberranzan is located in the Underdark, it is the territory of the Spider Queen Rose. Even if the priesthood overlaps between the gods, they will not blatantly extend their tentacles into each other's territory.

Thinking of this, Tang Sen glanced at Xue Xue.

The other party seemed to be a little unhappy with the Spider Queen Rose, and Xue Xue, as a drow elf, didn't know if there would be any unexpected changes when he returned to his hometown.

"The problem now is how to get away from those concerns and enter the portal to Faerun."

Tang Sen directly bought all the information he could buy, instead of buying targeted information about Faerun, because he didn't want to reveal his whereabouts. In a place like the City of Ten Thousand Doors, as long as he was not seen entering which portal, even gods would find it difficult to find which world he went to.

"Make a big move to attract everyone."

Tang Sen narrowed his eyes, "It seems that Lord Varo needs to show up again."

He reached into the demiplane and took out a mask.

A few days later, a message spread throughout the City of Ten Thousand Doors.

In order to give back to the enthusiasm of all the merchants in the City of Ten Thousand Doors, Lord Varo decided to hold a grand event in the square area.

He will tell the story of himself and the goddess of wealth on that day and share the source of his wealth.

The most important thing is that anyone who comes can get a chance to draw a lottery, and the prize is simple-100 million gold coins.

This is an appalling figure, but no one doubts that Lord Varro will not be able to come up with this money. After all, the gold coins he spent in Sigil City are far more than this amount.

No one doubts that Lord Varro is a liar. It is really that the image that Lord Varro has created in Sigil City during this period is too outrageous. When he purchases things, the feeling given by people is not much different from directly giving money.

There is no doubt that this news has excited everyone. To be honest, even gods cannot help but be moved by such a fortune.

Before the event started, a large number of people had gathered in the square. No one could imagine the scene. Demons and devils stood together, legendary spellcasters were everywhere, and the gods of all parties - even the gods of the enemy camp, gave up arguments and hostility, and waited for the protagonist to appear.

Sigil City was empty.

The platform has been built, and the moment everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived.

People watched Lord Varro slowly walk up to the platform.

He didn't seem to be accompanied by the man who had been asking Lord Varro to do things, but no one cared about such things.

"Lord Varro! Did you really have a romantic past with the Goddess of Wealth?"

The dwarf closest to the platform couldn't wait to shout: "And the Goddess of Magic, they all said that for you, the Goddess of Wealth and the Goddess of Magic almost started a war of gods?"

Varo looked at him, then raised his chin, with a proud face: "Romantic past? Of course it's fake."

"I don't like Woking, as for the Goddess of Magic. She tastes good."

"Ah?" There was an uproar in the audience.

"Let me tell you." Varro opened his arms and said, "The so-called gods are nothing in front of money. As long as I have money, the goddess of magic will have to kneel in front of me and stick her butt up."

"And I am the richest person in the entire multiverse!"

Such arrogant words caused a stormy discussion below, and the priests and messengers of the goddess of magic and the goddess of wealth present were trembling with anger. But no one stopped Varro. In a place like Sigil City, no one could stop him, not to mention that the lottery for 100 million gold coins has not yet started.

"So Lord Varo, where did you get your wealth?"

"Why did you buy so many things in Sigil City?"

"Lord Varo! Are you still missing any accessories?"

"."

Countless questions flooded Varo, who looked at it with a look of enjoyment and said, "My wealth? What I am showing now is just the tip of the iceberg, and I have hidden more wealth in the depths of the astral world."

"That is a great secret treasure that you can never imagine!"

"Do you want my wealth? If you want, I will give it to you! Go find it, it's in the Land of God's Fall, I put everything in the world there!"

This declaration shocked everyone.

With the financial resources shown by Lord Varo, how many secret treasures does he have? I'm afraid that the adjective "everything in the world" is not an exaggeration at all.

Of course, I don't know if everyone believes what Varo said, and even if they believe it, they don't have the intention to go to the Land of God's Fall.

Just kidding, even gods fall in a place, it is better to stay with Varro and get the existing wealth than to go there to find the so-called great secret treasure whose authenticity is unknown.

So someone asked maliciously: "Lord Varro, where are you going next?"

When Varro heard this question, he just smiled and said: "This is a secret."

"Besides, I have seen too many landscapes. The City of Ten Thousand Doors is a good place. I will probably live in the City of Ten Thousand Doors for a while."

"I still want to meet the legendary lady of pain."

As soon as he said this, the square became quiet in an instant.

Everyone looked pale and looked at Varro in disbelief.

"He just said that, right?"

"I heard it clearly. Lord Varro seemed to have mentioned the lady's name?"

"No, this kind of thing is never allowed in Sigil City."

"That's Lord Varro. Didn't he say that as long as you have money, you can do whatever you want? Even if the lady comes, so what? Maybe the lady will stick out her butt——" Before the man finished speaking, his skin and flesh were suddenly completely separated, and he died in an extremely painful way.

And everyone saw a figure slowly walking over from the empty street in the distance.

She had long hair like a blade, floating in the air, and her face was like a cloud of mist.

"Yes, yes, lady!"

The whole square was suddenly terrified, and everyone looked at Varro involuntarily.

However, they saw a more terrifying scene.

The lady of pain had appeared on the high platform at some point, and the body of the arrogant Lord Varro had been dragged into the eternal cage by an extremely terrifying force in an instant.

Everyone immediately fled in all directions.

The only sound echoing in Sigil was the people's wailing: "Lord Varro is gone. One hundred million gold coins are gone!"
