Lord of War
Eighty-five. The Black Market in Noire
In the east corner of Beiluo Village, it is a place where hooligans and gangsters gather, and generally no villagers are willing to approach this place. Because this is a real area where the weak prey on the strong, only those powerful adventurers and mercenaries will come here, other than that, only less popular professions such as thieves will appear here.
Even the village chief who manages Beiluo Village acquiesces to the particularity of this place—as for whether he acquiesces because of accepting bribes or because of his strong background, it is unknown. The only thing that is certain is that no matter who has an accident here in Dongjiao, they can only rely on their own ability to save face. If they want to rely on official ability, it will undoubtedly not work.
Therefore, the east corner of Beiluo Village is also called "Black Corner" by Beiluo villagers.
This is one of the five black markets in the Kingdom of Ryan, the Noire Black Market.
However, the scale of this black market is obviously not high.
The third-level black market uses a referral system, while the fourth-level black market uses an evaluation system.
People like Sean who need to get access to secret codes are usually the first-level black market. Because only the first-level black market at the freshman level will desperately want to have a huge traffic flow, but in order to prevent people with ulterior motives from making trouble, they will set up a small detour; unlike the third- and fourth-level The black market already has a certain reputation and confidence, so it can start to refuse entry to some low-profile guys.
As for the second-level black market, because it has basically developed, as long as you know the place, you can easily enter it, but usually the second-level black market is also the most chaotic place, so some second-level black markets with ambitions to grow and develop will still retain this. A way to screen guests by admission tickets.
As for the fifth-level black market, it is said that it only serves the real big shots and elites, and not everyone can enter.
Walking on the streets in the east corner, a more intense and obvious rancid smell permeated the air. For Sean who was used to cleanliness and tidiness, this smell was very pungent, but it was also Reminds Sean of things from many, many years ago.
At that time, he was just a lowly mercenary, and he could barely support himself with Cecilia. Even if they want to find a stronger mercenary group to join, no one is willing to take him in—yes, no one is willing to take him in, but Cecilia is still welcomed by many people. It's just that Cecilia didn't want to leave Sean at that time, so she didn't join those mercenary groups that seemed more reliable and powerful than Sean.
Perhaps, no one would have imagined that the little mercenary who was nothing more than ten years ago would soon become the emperor of an empire.
Although Xiao En's consciousness is a little lax, as a strong man in the sanctuary, he is still equally sensitive to his surroundings.
During the journey of looking for the entrance, Sean had already slapped away the hands of seven little thieves who had little vision. These little guys are not more than fifteen years old, and they have a vicious vicious energy. Of course, they are not reckless people who don't know how to advance and retreat. After being slapped away by Sean, these little guys knew that Sean was not them There was no one who could be provoked, so naturally they all chose to give up.
For these little guys, Sean also has a kindness.
He just let the hands of these thieves swell for a few days, and didn't directly snap off their hands. He knew that this kind of theft was the way of life for these little guys. After all, in this world where the jungle preys on the weak, no matter who they are, they must find a way to support themselves.
Especially those who came from the slums.
Although Xiao En hates this kind of people, he is also very clear that he has no way to completely change the world and stop the appearance of such people. The only thing he can do is to try to ensure that there will be no such people in his country. And the most important thing is that Sean doesn't want to cause any commotion here. If he really abolishes the hands of these little guys, then it will definitely attract some higher-level guys to trouble him. This is not Sean. desired result.
It seems that seeing Xiao En's strength is not bad, after some of the stones wading in the water sank, no one came to make trouble.
And Sean quickly found the entrance to the black market.
A few people dressed like gangsters squatted at the door, seemingly playing cards for entertainment. There was a small barrel of ale and two empty small wooden barrels beside them. Seeing Sean approaching, several people raised their eyes, with a bit of malicious intent in their eyes, but after seeing Sean casually tossing the coin for the black market admission ticket, they relaxed a little. One of them even deliberately got up and walked towards the backyard, and then opened a door similar to a warehouse.
As Xiao En expected, this black market was also established underground, and the warehouse was piled up in a mess, but there were several other people guarding it.
Seeing Xiao En's entry, one of them stepped forward and extended his hand: "One hundred gold coins."
"One hundred gold coins?" Sean raised his brows, "When did the black market have such rules? Why didn't I know?"
"Hey, it's normal for you not to know about the newly changed rules." The man showed his visually striking muscles, with a look of disdain on his face, "You don't have to go in, but since you're here, at least you have to go in." Pay an insight fee of fifty gold coins....Oh, by the way, this is also a new rule. If you don’t follow it, you should know the consequences, hehe.”
The person blocking Xiao En's eyes was a silver-level master, while the other people guarding the entrance were high-ranking bronzes. The strength is naturally not worth mentioning, but compared to the gangsters outside the door who are not even low-ranking bronze, the strength of the people in this warehouse is naturally much stronger. As a second-level black market, it is quite good to have such guard power, but it is still not enough for people like Xiao En who are already hitting the legendary realm.
"Are you sure it's a hundred gold coins?" Xiao En showed a shallow smile on his face, "Why do I feel that you are deliberately blackmailing me? You should know that after I go in, I can ask anyone to find out the situation. It's time to make things big, and you don't look good, do you?"
"Tsk." The fierce-looking burly man curled his lips, "He's really a veteran. I won't fool you anymore. The new rule is to charge an additional door fee, ten gold coins per person. Four of them are up for grabs. Gong, the other five are private servants of our five people, and one is for the brothers outside. It is impossible for us to stand here for nothing, right? The above also tacitly approves of this rule."
This time, the other party was telling the truth.
Low-level black markets usually acquiesce in such fees, unlike black markets above level 3, where the transaction commissions of the black market itself can pay for the thugs' expenses. Of course, the black market that charges ticket fees is generally a more ambitious second-level black market, because the first-level black market is eager for someone to come, and there is no threshold at all, and those second-level black markets that are too chaotic have completely lost management. ability.
Sean didn't think too much about it, he took out ten gold coins and handed them to the other party, and then the other party moved out of the way.
This time, Sean really entered the black market in Noire.
There is not much difference from the gray shadow black market that Sean has been to before. The black corner black market is also established underground, but it is not as rich and powerful as the gray shadow black market, so the underground lighting can only be illuminated by ordinary oil lamps, which makes the light appear slightly dim.
After passing a long staircase, Sean's vision suddenly became clear: the entire underground has been dug out into a huge cave-like space, except that the exhaust system is not very good, causing the space to be filled with some peculiar smells. The entire black market in Noire is still very lively. Basically, there are densely packed shops as far as the eye can see, and the flow of people is not small at all, probably more than the villagers in the entire Beiluo Village.
This made Sean sure that the entrance to the black market in Noire is definitely not the only one in Beiluo Village.
Sean is quite familiar with these relatively low-level black markets, and he is used to walking towards the notice board closest to the entrance—usually low-level black markets usually place a notice board at the entrance because of the confusion of fish and dragons. Understand some of the projects and services that are operated in the city, and there are also some bounty tasks that will be released.
What surprised Sean a little was that he actually saw a reward order for Marquis Floris and others on the bulletin board.
At this moment, Sean knew that the black market in Noire was no longer under the control of Floris, but had completely become a product of Black Hawk. Because only such a complete power-grabbing change dared to post a reward order for Floris on the black market. Otherwise, Floris, as the former real owner of the black market, absolutely no one would dare to post a reward order so blatantly.
On the reward order, only two people were disclosed.
One was the Marquis of Flores, and the other was Princess Vorshees, but the latter did not disclose her identity, but briefly described her appearance and the last attire she found. Obviously, even Glenn had some scruples about the popularity and popular support of Princess Voorhees. He was deeply afraid that publicly offering a reward for the arrest of a princess would cause dissatisfaction among the people at the bottom, so he switched to this method.
Moreover, in the reward order, the description of Princess Vorshees was also very vague. The general idea was that this woman was probably the mistress of Marquis Floris. So now a reward order has been issued, as long as you can provide specific reporting clues, you can get a very generous reward reward without even catching people, but if you can catch a living person, then the reward you can get Gold will be more.
Of course, the reward order also deliberately concealed information about Elizabeth, the legendary powerhouse. It was only mentioned at the end of the reward order that there might be other external support and assistance for the absconding of Floris and the mysterious woman, and then he also hypocritically reminded the bounty hunters not to act rashly and to pay attention to their own safety.
Sean evaluated the situation inwardly, and quickly came to a conclusion: "It seems that Elizabeth is not injured as badly as imagined."
Originally, Sean was worried that Elizabeth's situation was critical, so he hurried over. But now after seeing the reward order, Sean is convinced that Elizabeth's injuries are not serious enough to fight, and to a large extent, it has made the enemy vigilant, otherwise Elizabeth's death will not be announced in the reward order. This is obviously because those bounty hunters who are open to money are afraid of Elizabeth's strength and are unwilling to make a move.
Being able to continue looking for Elizabeth and Floris without revealing his identity, Sean certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to reveal his identity.
"Hey, my friend."
Just when Xiao En turned around, he met a barbarian in bear skin and said hello: "I saw that you seem to have been paying attention to that bounty order for a long time, are you also a bounty hunter? ... I see your momentum Yes, obviously not a weak person, do you want to consider forming a team with us? Let me tell you a secret, that bounty mission is not something you can solve alone."
"Oh?" Sean was a little curious, "How do you know?"
"The seven members of the White Wolf team are all dead." The barbarian said in a low voice, "They are one of the strongest bounty hunter teams here. Although their personal strength is not the best, their tactics The cooperation is very powerful, even the ghost eye blade is very difficult to face them."
Although Xiao En didn't know what kind of concept "White Wolf Squad is very powerful", but this did not prevent him from making a "unconscious" expression: "What? Even the White Wolf is dead? Aren't they called the most cunning wolves? How come..."
"Yeah, the corpses are all charred, and I don't know what's going on." The barbarian continued to sigh, "Now the Ghost Eye Blade and the Thunder Dragon team are discussing joint matters, the other bounty hunters The team and the demon hunters are also trying to join forces. I think you look pretty good, so I tried to ask, there is no way to act alone."
"The corpse was burned to charcoal?" Sean's eyes lit up, and he knew it must be Elizabeth's trick. "So can we find their whereabouts now?"
"That's not very clear." This barbarian really retains the characteristics of a barbarian, basically asking questions and answering, "But it is said that the black market in other places has also started to operate, and our side of Noire is just Because of the geographical location, we are relatively close to those bounty targets, and if we wait until all the bounty hunters and demon hunters from the black market arrive, we will be in a lot of trouble."
"That's true." Sean really felt the same way this time.
If the situation becomes more chaotic, it will not be the result he wants. In particular, the strength of the Black Corner black market is relatively weak among the five major black markets in the Ryan Kingdom, and two of the other four black markets are third-level black markets. If other demon hunters from the black market intervene, it is very likely that a strong man from the sanctuary will intervene, which will undoubtedly expand the scope of the battle.
only……
Sean glanced at the barbarian in front of him. His strength is only low-ranking silver. With such a person "teaming", Sean doubts whether it is really okay?
"Hey, what's the meaning of your eyes?" The barbarian seemed to be hurt by Xiao En's eyes, "I'm very powerful!"
How powerful is the next Baiyin? ——Sean really wanted to say this. After all, as their opponent, there is such a legendary powerhouse as Elizabeth, not to mention that Floris was able to flee all the way to the Fortress of Tonis with Voorhees and Elizabeth. Here, how could there be no one else around? Sean is very curious about the average strength of the so-called White Wolf team, but he has already acted like he knows how powerful that team is, and now he really can't ask this question.
"Are your teammates... all the same as you?" Sean thought for a while, and then asked.
"How is that possible." The barbarian said exaggeratedly.
Just when Sean thought this guy was going to say that his teammates were inferior to him, he didn't expect this barbarian to say proudly: "My teammates are much better than me!"
Why can you be so proud that your teammates are better than you?
What about savage pride?
What about savage pride?
What about the dignity of the savage?
Sean looked at this barbarian, he was full of flaws!
