Noticing the silence from the other side, Leo Ray and his subordinates exchanged glances.

There were no other conference participants, coupled with the "explanation" mentioned by the other party, the situation was very clear.

I was probably the only participant this time, as for why they chose to do so, that is exactly the truth we need to uncover next.

After a while, the manager's deep, hoarse voice sounded again.

"Your Majesty is worried about the security issues of entering the city, right? It's not surprising, I was indeed a bit abrupt, I understand, then let the city gate be the boundary, I will personally explain everything to you, please wait a moment."

After a short time, the heavy footsteps and the sound of armor colliding were heard, and three robust figures wearing brown heavy armor and fully enclosed battle helmets came over.

Compared to the two teams of market guards stationed at the gate, the brown armor on these three robust figures was especially engraved with deep black patterns, and the radiance emitted from them was significantly more intense than that of the market guards.

Especially the one in the lead, whose brown heavy armor was almost entirely covered with black patterns, exuding an extremely dangerous aura with every move, and the mysterious visage still hidden by the fully enclosed battle helmet added to his enigmatic unpredictability.

"A Tier 6 peak expert and two ordinary Tier 6 experts?"

Feeling the energy fluctuations that resonated in the air, Yonir and Grey Elder immediately stood in front of Leo Ray, their old faces full of vigilance.

The two ordinary Tier 6 experts were still within their range of resistance, but the aura emanating from the leading Tier 6 peak expert was enough to rival that of the Malevolent Deity's Chosen Son, clearly an overwhelming mighty presence.

Along with the actions of the two old chairmen, the other subordinates on the ground also gripped their weapons tightly, looking solemnly prepared for battle.

"There's no need for any of you to be nervous, the Shadow Market would never harm any invited friend attending the conference."

The deep, hoarse voice sounded once more, and the leader among the Tier 6 peak robust figures stood inside the city gate, waved his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to introduce myself, I am the administrator of the Shadow Market as well as the one who sent the invitation to Your Majesty."

After speaking, the other party nodded slightly, making a gesture of friendly greeting.

"Greetings, Your Excellency, the administrator."

Seeing that the other party had no malicious intent, Leo Ray also waved his hand, indicating to his subordinates not to be overly tense, and then he walked forward amidst the crowd's escort.

With the aid of the Tier 5 Star Promotion Potion, Leo Ray's strength had already reached the dual Tier 5 peak, not only protected by Aurendil's Protection to resist Tier 6 attacks but also possessing some Tier 6 Protection Scrolls as his ultimate cards, enough to ensure his safety for a period.

Leo Ray nodded slightly in return, while saying, "Since Your Excellency the administrator is willing to come forward, can you tell me what this is all about?"

"Your Majesty, this is precisely what I need to do next."

The manager maintained the necessary respect for Leo Ray and replied, "As Your Majesty can see, the only participants this time are the Human World represented by Your Majesty and the guardians, marking the first official invitation to the Human World by the Shadow Market since the Blank Era."

"Because, after my careful evaluation, under Your Majesty's leadership, the Human World has reached the minimum threshold for attending the Shadow Market."

The manager's voice carried a trace of pride, adding, "As for why I chose this destination, that naturally has its significance."

"Oh? Then why don't you explain, Your Excellency the administrator, why only the Human Clan was invited this time, and why was the conference location chosen here."

Leo Ray crossed his arms, gazing at the other, covered by the battle helmet, with great interest.

"To be frank, Your Majesty, the answer is only two words, and that is 'trial.'"

The manager's voice was calm as he began to explain, "Although the Human Clan has reached the threshold for participating in the market, as the administrator of the Shadow Market, I am responsible for confirming whether the Human Clan's strength matches its participation status, after all, this is the first time the Human Clan is officially attending."

"A trial?"

Upon hearing this from the other party, Leo Ray looked at Gals behind him in confusion, and the latter was full of confusion, apparently unaware that the Shadow Market required participation in a trial.

"Your Majesty may not know, the Shadow Market's invitation letters are of two types."

The manager obviously saw Leo Ray's hesitation and began to introduce it solemnly.

"The first type is the personal invitation, where the market invites some renowned experts from the Outer Region to participate as individuals, and they are allowed to bring one companion, presumably, your subordinates who have attended in the past entered the market this way."

"The second type is the official invitation, which is what Your Majesty received. The official invitation not only allows more companions and guards to attend but also, with sufficient criteria, permits entry into the core market, where experts from the Ten Thousand Clans gather. Surely, Your Majesty is aware of the benefits within?"

The manager's voice carried a hint of a smile, continuing, "There, not only can you barter, but you also have the opportunity to meet the leaders of powerful clans, which is the best way for non-formal diplomacy, especially since, based on Your Majesty's recent actions, it is evident that you will not be confined to the Human World alone."
