Chapter 286 The mysterious ruins of the past
After crossing a layer of transparent energy barrier, the surrounding seawater disappeared.
What appeared in front of Jiang Zhao was a beautiful underwater space. In the space where rocks and corals were thick, countless stalls and shops were scattered among the rocks and corals. There was an endless stream of Star Soul Masters coming and going from the market.
Among them are not only fierce pirates, but also treasure hunters and adventurers who travel on the sea all year round.
Foreign faces accounted for more than half of them.
The appearance of Jiang Zhao and the others did not attract any attention.
"lead the way!"
Mother Jiang Xinmei lightly kicked the pirate leader and signaled him to lead the way.
After a while, under the leadership of the pirate leader, they arrived at a shop located in the southeast corner of the black market.
The shop is large and the business is very good, but most of them are pirates and desperadoes.
According to the pirate leader, this store specializes in stolen goods. The owner has a deep background and is deeply trusted by the surrounding pirates.
Jiang Zhao looked around the store and saw a lot of rare materials and objects.
"Hey, isn't this the old octopus?" A middle-aged man with a slovenly beard next to him seemed to recognize the pirate leader, with a cold look in his eyes. "Why are you alone? Where are your subordinates? These two Who is this person?”
The pirate leader's face froze and he looked at Jiang Zhao and his son in embarrassment.
You don't need to think about it to know that there must be some grudge between the two.
"Go away, I don't have time to deal with the grievances between you." Mom Jiang Xinmei said impatiently.
"Hey, what an arrogant little bitch, do you know who I am?"
The sloppy middle-aged man was about to get angry, but was stopped by the voice of the boss at the counter.
"If you don't want to die, get away. The black market is not a place for you to be brave and aggressive."
Hearing this, the slovenly middle-aged man smiled angrily and left silently.
The mother and son didn't bother to ask any more questions, and directly signaled the pirate leader to get down to business.
When he learned that the pirate leader wanted to redeem the goods from the previous two days, a treacherous smile appeared on the boss's face. He squinted at Jiang Zhao and his son, and then offered a price: "The items are still there, but the price will have to be doubled."
"A bit cruel, boss?" Mom was slightly dissatisfied.
"These are the rules," the boss said with a cheerful smile: "Most of the things that come to my place are invisible, but the things that go out of my place are different. I think you two are strangers, so I guess you are not a regular visitor to the black market. If you feel something is wrong, you can ask around on the black market.”
"Okay, just double it."
Feeling the boss's soul power fluctuating, my mother didn't want to cause trouble.
Anyway, the money he spent was not his own money, but the property he had plundered from the pirates before.
There is a lot left after payment.
After a while, the two got the so-called goods as they wished.
At first glance, it looks like a pile of debris sunk to the bottom of the sea. Many of them have been corroded and damaged by seawater and evil forces, but there are still some gold, silver and jade objects from before.
Jiang Zhao and his mother searched for a long time, but did not find the so-called divine relic.
"Are you sure everything is complete?" Mom looked at the pirate leader coldly.
After looking through it, the pirate leader affirmed: "All of them, nothing missing."
"That's really weird," Jiang Xinmei said thoughtfully, "Is it possible that I was deceived by that little island?"
Thinking of this, my mother got angry for no reason, and prepared to hand over the pirate leader to the Ocean Palace to get some blood, which happened to be on the territory of the Ocean Palace anyway.
But before that, it is necessary to have a good time in the black market. After all, it is a rare opportunity.
After walking around, I found a lot of good stuff, and the prices are much cheaper than outside.
Just as the mother and son were about to leave the black market, they were blocked by several black market managers.
"Guys, please stay." The manager was quite polite.
Jiang Xinmei frowned, feeling something was wrong, "Any advice?"
"But Ms. Jiang Xinmei?" the manager confirmed.
"Do you recognize me?" Jiang Xinmei was slightly startled.
"That's right, please come with me. An old friend from the Dark Sea wants to see you." The manager smiled slightly and invited them to follow.
"An old friend from the dark sea?" Jiang Xinmei was startled and immediately motioned for the other party to lead the way.
Jiang Zhao could naturally tell that his mother's mood was not right, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Do you have any acquaintances in the black market?"
"I'm not sure. I won't know until I go there."
After a while, under the leadership of several managers, they arrived at a huge clam shell palace in the center of the black market.
Entering the palace hall, a man in his forties with withered beard and hair sat there looking half-dead.
After seeing Jiang Xinmei, a strange light appeared on her skinny face. She raised her hand to signal the managers to step back, then narrowed her eyes and said, "Your Excellency Xinmei, long time no see."
Jiang Xinmei studied it for a long time and finally recognized the man in front of her, "Rosent?"
"I didn't expect Your Excellency Xinmei to recognize me."
"Is it really you?" Jiang Xinmei was surprised and exclaimed: "Your kid is still alive?"
Rosente smiled bitterly, "I'm lucky, I can barely survive."
"Is this black market yours?" Jiang Xinmei asked curiously.
"So be it."
"Okay, you kid." Jiang Xinmei nodded teasingly, and then chatted with Rosente to reminisce about the past.
Jiang Zhao listened in confusion, while the pirate leader looked fearful and did not dare to raise his head.
After Rosente reminisced with Jiang Xinmei for a moment, his eyes slowly fell on Jiang Zhao, "Is this the child from back then?"
Jiang Xinmei smiled noncommittally, "How about it? He's handsome, isn't he?"
"A very good little guy, quite like Brother Qingsong back in the day." Rosente nodded happily.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhao was slightly startled. For a moment, he even suspected that Rosente was his wild father, but he quickly gave up the idea.
Because Rosente is obviously a blond Westerner, and he is obviously not mixed race.
And from what this guy meant, he not only knew his mother, but also his own uncle.
When leaving the Clamshell Palace, Rosente saw him off personally.
Before leaving, he reminded Jiang Xinmei in a meaningful way: "If Mr. Xinmei has nothing important to do, it would be better to return to the inland as soon as possible. The recent signs on the sea... are not quite right."
"Thank you!" Jiang Xinmei smiled knowingly, "Come to Tianxing City when you have time and treat you to a drink."
Rosente nodded happily and said nothing.
Then he left the black market under the escort of several managers.
The pirate leader, who had been trembling with fear, was relieved and asked cautiously: "You two actually know Mr. Rosente?"
"It's none of your business," Jiang Xinmei said angrily: "Go to the Ocean Palace with me, I hope you can be worth more."
"Okay, grandma." The pirate leader nodded obediently.
Now the polished commander, he wished he could immediately go to the prison of Ocean Palace to live for a few years.
The only thing to blame is that he was unlucky enough to offend such an aunt.
If he had known that this aunt even knew Rosente, he would not have dared to provoke her even if she had given him a hundred courages.
Coming out of the crack on the seabed, the three returned to the Southern Cross ship again, adjusted their course, and headed towards the Ocean Palace.
"Then what is Rosente's background?"
Jiang Zhao couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked his mother about it.
"During the battle for the Dark Sea, the representative of the younger generation of the Rice Country was a stranger to your uncle and me," Jiang Xinmei introduced: "I thought he had died in that battle, but I didn't expect he was still alive. , and also became the leader of the black market.”
"The fight for the dark sea?" Jiang Zhao asked curiously: "What is the fight for?"
"A divine domain ruin that tore through the void. Many powerful relics were scattered inside, attracting all parties to compete for it." Jiang Xinmei said with emotion.
"Isn't it the relic where I was pregnant?" Jiang Zhao looked strange.
Jiang Xinmei smiled noncommittally.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhao took a breath of surprise. In other words, the mysterious ruins back then were actually the dark sea that he saw far away on the sea. No wonder his mother was in such complicated emotions at the time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhao couldn't help but breathe quickly: "Can you take me to see it?"
"We can't get in anymore." Jiang Xinmei shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Why?"
"When the ruins first appeared, you could still enter normally, but there were certain age restrictions for those who entered. Only star soul masters under thirty years old could cross that barrier." Jiang Xinmei explained: "But now the entrance to the ruins , has been distorted by evil and void, so that the entire dark sea has collapsed into a terrifying restricted area."
Jiang Zhao took a deep breath, "Uncle is still in there, right?"
"Yes." Jiang Xinmei nodded sadly.
"It's strange, why did uncle go in there? Why didn't he come out in time?" Jiang Zhao was puzzled.
Jiang Xinmei took a deep breath and said, "It's ridiculous to look for the elixir to prolong your grandma's life, but I found the 'elixir' instead."
After saying that, he touched Jiang Zhao's head affectionately, with deep sadness in his eyes.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhao was filled with emotions.
"Can you come closer and have a look?" Jiang Zhao said hesitantly.
"It's meaningless, we can't get in anyway." Jiang Xinmei sighed, "And Rosente just said that something is not right at sea recently, so it's better not to run around."
Jiang Zhao sighed helplessly, but the curiosity in his heart became stronger.
At this moment, the pirate leader beside him said weakly: "Well... you two may not believe it, but there is a route that can get close to the core area of the Dark Sea."
"What?!"
Jiang Zhao and Jiang Xinmei both exclaimed, their eyes focused on the pirate leader.
The pirate leader nodded awkwardly, "That batch of goods just came from the dark sea. Of course, we didn't dare to go deeper at that time."
"Are you sure?" Jiang Xinmei asked coldly.
"How dare I lie to you?" the pirate leader said with an apologetic smile: "There should be other pirate groups who know that route. I learned about that route after recruiting two pirate brothers who were in trouble, and then I tried to go in. Just tried my luck.”
Jiang Zhao and Jiang Xinmei looked at each other and gradually became excited.
In this way, everything will be explained clearly.
The small island before was indeed not for some divine relic, but for the route that could enter the interior of the Dark Sea.
"What are the backgrounds of the two people you recruited?" Jiang Zhaopan asked.
"A very powerful pirate group was wiped out by who knows what. Anyway, it was quite miserable. Only a few people survived." The pirate leader sighed with emotion.
My younger brother is getting married today, and his wife will come back tomorrow.
Therefore, the updates in the past few days have been rushed out in advance to avoid interruption.
When you read this chapter, I should be on stage going through the process.
Haha, please call me the groom~!
