The mysterious journey begins with becoming a pirate

"Hmm~~" Majik was surprised, covering his mouth and slowly walked up to Alok, picked up the leaf on the table, and gave the same evaluation as Danielle:

"A clear leaf of extremely poor quality is the product of the metabolism of the clear tree. The elves will collect these fallen leaves and sell them to human merchants in exchange for some human specialties."

"Before, when there was no clear moonlight here, I suffered from it. It was really bitter and weird."

"If you want to find the source of this kind of leaves, you can look for the traders who came from the Dark Moon Forest. However, according to the official labels given to them by the Hutt Empire, they should be smugglers."

"There are also some underground trade markets for extraordinary people in Dalmea. There must be some there too."

Finally, Majik smiled mysteriously and said: "Besides that. There is also one here, but it grows on the third floor. You know."

Alok nodded clearly. It's no surprise that there is a clear tree here.

Then, he asked: "Then do you know where the underground trading market is? I want to investigate it."

"Of course. I used to go there often. I don't go now. It's really been a blessing to me since the Clear Tree grew here." Majik agreed to Alok's request again as he should. He doesn't seem to know how to reject friends, and he enjoys it.

"Thank you very much. I was worried about this." Alok said gratefully. "When do we leave?"

Majik thought for a moment and said directly:

"How is it now??"

"Of course, no problem. The sooner, the better." Alok replied with a smile.

······

The three of them came out of the Night Rose Bar together, with Majik leading the way, while Alok followed half a step behind Majik, and Sebas followed at the end, holding Little Bear's right hand.

This is the first time that Elok and Majik have acted together. It was also my first time to act together with the elves.

Majik has a young mentality that doesn't match his appearance, but he also has a nagging personality that matches his appearance.

However, what Majik was nagging about this time was very important to Alok.

After turning a corner, Majik led Ailok to the Kafka area in a swaggering manner.

As he walked he said:

"You must be surprised. The largest extraordinary underground trading market in Damea is actually in the Kafka District. Right under the nose of the temple and the palace."

In fact, Alok wasn't too surprised by this. I don't know if it's because I came from the original world of thought or if I have already expected this.

As the saying goes, "The most dangerous place is the safest place."

But Elok was a little surprised by Majik's next words.

"The temple and the government control this large underground trading market and are watching everything secretly." Majik showed a mysterious smile.

Alok looked at Majik in surprise and asked, "Aren't the temples and the government opposed to the underground supernatural trade?"

"But this can't be suppressed." Majik said, shaking his head gently.

"So, the government and the temple simply take control of these things directly. It is easier to manage than absolute opposition and suppression."

"Coupled with their secret attention. Pay close attention to those things with a high risk factor and nip these things in the bud. This is what they are doing."

Airok thought about it for a while and realized the reason why the government and the temple did this.

As Majik said, blind containment is not the best way.

Extraordinary beings cannot be destroyed. The various transactions between them cannot be eliminated.

Trying to control the behavior of all extraordinary beings is tantamount to wishful thinking. The government and the temple also need to absorb nutrients from these extraordinary things. If all trading channels were cut off, it would be the same as killing the goose that lays the eggs.

"Are things like clear leaves considered dangerous items?" Alok asked.

Majik answered clearly while walking: "Clear leaves are widely used in alchemy, binding, preparing potions, enchanting, etc. In addition to curbing the erosion of the astral realm to a certain extent, it also has the effect of stabilizing extraordinary power. ”

"Except for its side effects on humans, everything else is an advantage. Therefore, judging from its effects, it is not considered a dangerous item."

At this point, Majik changed the topic and continued: "However, the temple and the government will pay close attention to the information about the clear leaves. The reason is not its danger, but its value."

"You should know that clear leaves are quite expensive, but there are countless uses and ways to use them. You can imagine the huge benefits."

"In the central area of ​​Darkmoon Forest, clear trees are very common trees. So the cost of clear leaves is not high. Since we only collect fallen leaves and sell them to humans, the quantity is not too much. This also results in higher value for clear leaves.”

"Another reason is that after these leaves are transported out of the Dark Moon Forest, they come to the underground market of Damia. I don't know how many people have passed through their hands, and how many people have to harvest the wool during this period. In the end, all the money has to be collected by the end consumers pay the bill.”

Alok sighed softly and replied: "I understand."

"Okay. It's just ahead." Majik stopped and pointed to the shop in front of the three people.

It was a large bar on the edge of Kafka Quarter.

It's called "Party Bar."

There are a lot of people there. If Alok turns on his astral vision to observe, he will find that the proportion of extraordinary people is frighteningly high. There are even some mid-level extraordinary people.

This place is not like the "red light district bar" in Dror City, where you have to answer slogans and buy a special drink to enter.

This place is semi-open. It is just as what Magik said, this place is the place that the government and the temple pay attention to and manage, so there is no need to disguise too much, just make it reasonable.

It really makes the unspoken rules come to the fullest.

Entering the bar, Magik turned on the familiar road mode, took Alok and Sebastian to turn left and right, and finally went directly underground, and took them to their destination.

Who said that the underground trading market can't be magnificent? Who said that people in the underground trading market have to wear masks and cloaks? Who said that the underground trading market must be sneaky?

Damia completely subverted Alok's imagination.

It also subverted Sebastian's imagination. He also once thought that the underground trading market was associated with dirtiness, chaos, and disorder.

Who knew that this place could be called an underground commercial street.

There were many shops on both sides of the wide corridor. There were also many sellers setting up stalls in the middle.

Most of the names of the shops were full of artistic atmosphere, such as "Mezerol's Wind Love Gold" and "Herbal Forest Witch Shop". When highlighting the characteristics of their own shops, they did not forget the artistic style of Damia.

Among them, there were many alchemy signs flashing brightly like neon lights.

Although Alok had seen all kinds of dazzling shops in his previous life, he would never have thought that he could encounter such things here.

But compared with Alok, Sebastian's expression was more colorful. That expression, that look, was very much like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.

Soon, Alok calmed down and looked at Sebastian, who looked shocked, like a normal person. He shook his head, looked back at Majik, who had a funny expression, and asked:

"Where can I find clear leaves?"

"Just in front, there is a shop that specializes in selling clear leaves. You can see it at a glance." Majik suddenly spread his hands and said.

"Hey~ I'll take you here. You'll know after you walk around. I don't really like such a noisy place. I prefer the quiet Night Rose."

Alok sighed helplessly and said, "Okay. Then I'll go for a stroll by myself. Thank you for leading the way."

"You're welcome. There are many wonderful things inside." Majik responded generously. "However, you have to abide by the rules here. You can't force buying and selling, you can't use force, and it's best not to touch those more dangerous things."

"I believe you should know what dangerous things are?"

"Of course, it's very clear." Alok replied.

Hearing this, Majik nodded with relief and replied, "That's good. I'm leaving, Alok. If you have any questions, you can contact me."
