Lord of the Star Ocean

With a bright moon and few stars, under the cover of night, a carriage headed south along the spacious and straight road, gradually leaving the majestic Haoyuan City behind.

In the narrow carriage, Nie Feng closed his eyes and sat calmly, while Nie Chen, who was opposite him, twisted his body uneasily, looking yearningly through the small window from time to time.

The two of them left Haoyuan City tonight to go to Haoyuan Black Market.

Nie Chen found out this way, but this teenager had never been to the famous Haoyuan black market before, and all the rumors about the black market were in his head along the way, feeling fresh and exciting, but also a little uneasy.

Fortunately, the road is not long.

Haoyuan Black Market is not inside Haoyuan City, but a small town thirty miles south of the city.

Haoyuan City is the main city of Haoyuan Star, gathering the largest population on Haoyuan Star, but it is not an isolated city, surrounded by many small and medium-sized towns, villages and farms.

The villages and towns are connected with each other by dense cobweb-like roads, with reclaimed farmland in the middle, living in a population no less than the residents of Haoyuan City, and also giving birth to many quite prosperous towns.

Jingshan Town is one of them.

This small town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are many villages and farmlands around it. On the surface, it looks like an ordinary town, but in fact it is the location of Haoyuan's black market.

Although the black market has never been recognized by the government, it exists in basically all cities, and there are naturally reasons for it.

Not all contraband are traded in the black market, it is precisely because there are a large number of contraband that it can attract a steady stream of customers. Its charm is beyond the reach of ordinary shops and bazaars.

There are many large-scale black markets that can provide a variety of goods, trade things in a variety of ways, and the circulation speed of goods is extremely fast. Of course, there are also mixed fish and fish, good and bad.

The star artifacts that Nie Feng obtained by beheading many descendants of aristocratic families in the Misty Swamp can only be realized quickly through the black market, and there is no need to worry about being found out.

Otherwise, once it is exposed and he is tracked down as the culprit, those aristocratic families who have lost their elite children will definitely not let it go, and Haoyuan Wuge may not be able to keep Nie Feng.

So Nie Feng would rather sell at a low price than to cause unnecessary trouble.

The rental carriage stopped at the entrance of Jingshan Town.

In order to prevent the attacks of savage beasts and monsters, aside from the heavily guarded Haoyuan City, the surroundings, whether it is the Acropolis, towns or villages and farms, are all protected by city walls or village walls.

Jingshan Town is no exception, and its city walls are built quite tall and strong, with a height of four or five feet. There are gates at the entrance and exit, and there are heavily armed warriors guarding them.

On the long roads on both sides of the town entrance, hundreds of carriages have already parked, which looks quite impressive.

"wait for me here…"

Nie Feng said to Nie Chen, "Don't run around."

Nie Chen nodded obediently. He really wanted to go to the black market with Nie Feng, but he also knew that he was a burden to Nie Feng and it was inconvenient to carry.

Nie Feng got out of the car, gave another order to the driver, and then walked to the gate.

A sturdy warrior stopped his way and said in a deep voice, "Please show your ID card..."

The black market is not just for anyone to enter. It is one thing to know that it is here, but it is another thing to be able to enter it. However, Nie Chen has already inquired about the conditions for entering the black market, so Nie Feng did not panic.

He took out his star card and shook it at the opponent.

The silver-level star card made the samurai standing in the way look stunned. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Excuse me, sir, is this the first time you have come to Jingshan Town?"

Nie Feng nodded - there is nothing to hide.

The samurai smiled and said, "I don't know if you have a mask, but I have a few here."

He pulled out a stack of thick masks like a magic trick, and unfolded them for Nie Feng to see.

Many people enter the black market to sell or buy contraband, and no one likes to expose their true colors. This mask is obviously used for such situations.

Nie Feng asked with a smile, "How much is it?"

The samurai quickly said: "Twenty gold coins, you can pick whatever you want, they are all good stuff."

This kind of mask is only used to cover the face, not the kind of imitation human skin mask, no matter how well-made it is, it is not worth twenty gold coins, but Nie Feng readily took out the money to pay the other party, and put on a mask instead.

The samurai smiled, bowed and said, "Please."

It is not easy to make money!

Nie Feng secretly sighed, this warrior is almost at the level of top-level black iron, and it is obviously forced by life to guard the gate here and sell masks along the way.

Through the gate, he walked into Jingshan Town.

The prosperity here is beyond Nie Feng's expectation. The first thing that catches his eyes is a neat and wide long street. There are various shops on both sides of the street. There are lights and colorful signs hanging high above.

If it wasn't for sure that you came to the wrong place, it would be really hard to imagine that this place is actually a black market, and it is actually not much different from the bustling streets of Haoyuan City.

If you really want to talk about the difference, the biggest difference is undoubtedly the customers and pedestrians who come and go. Most of them wear masks, and many of the masks are exactly the same, which makes people feel quite weird.

Nie Feng was not in a hurry to sell the things he brought, he walked along the long street until he came to the center of Jingshan Town.

The center of the town is a large open-air square, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of stalls. The stall owners take a piece of fabric and spread it on the ground, and then place various items for sale, sitting and yelling loudly.

"Come, come, take a look at the star pills I just refined here, all of them are top-notch pills!"

"Sell magic weapons, magic weapons that cut iron like mud!"

"Energy core, energy mine, demon crystal..."

Nie Feng walked around the square, feeling more or less confident.

The street stall area here is actually a scam area. The stall owners basically display cheating goods, and it's not that there are no genuine products, but they treat things that are worth a penny as ten cents, and they are 100% unreliable.

The stall owners also bought things. Nie Feng tried to sell a demon crystal to one of them, but the price he offered was not as good as selling it directly in Haoyuan City.

Nie Feng didn't have the time and energy to fight wits and bravery with these shrewd and slippery stall owners, and he didn't find anything that would allow him to pick up the missing goods, so he turned around and returned to the street.

He found a shop that looked quite large and walked in.
