The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 17 Black Market

For the first time, Ciel complained that he did not have a photographic memory. If he could remember the detailed plot, this problem would not occur.

The problem is that after defeating the Sith, Ciel has carefully checked that his magic power and body are completely blocked. He is just waiting to bring him back to the Magic Knights to get more information from him.

Unexpectedly, Sith had buried a magic device in his body, and even though the magic power was sealed, he still activated the burial magic, leaving no corpse behind.

However, Ciel suspected that even if he brought the Sith back alive, he would not get any information. Let's not say whether the Sith knew more detailed information. After all, the White Night Demon Eye has the most solid "backer" in the Magic Knights.

Who would have thought that the leader of the Magic Knights, Vankins, who was known as the person closest to the Magic Emperor, would actually be the leader of an organization intent on subverting the kingdom.

It's so unbelievable that he has two souls in one body! Even his appearance, magic, and even the magic book are different, so it's not surprising that he can't be suspected.

But looking at the villagers cheering up! Ciel finally felt relieved. This is why Ciel only played assists instead of defeating the Sith himself.

Although Sith's words are twisted prejudices, they are undeniably the mainstream view of the world, even if the villagers themselves believe it.

Therefore, only by letting Asta, who has no magic power, defeat the Sith can the villagers believe in their own possibility again.

Saving the soul is far more difficult and important than saving the body.

In addition, of course, the magic stone also fell into the hands of a few people. It was a forbidden magic weapon held by the elves five hundred years ago, and it was also the reason why the Sith attacked Sosi Village.

The person who sent the magic stone was Secolesvarotel, an attendant of the first Magic Emperor who also used forbidden magic five hundred years ago and turned into a magic-avoiding bird.

She is responsible for guarding the five-leaf clover magic book in Asta's hands. She has been following Asta. Ciel has always known about this. But now she can't even speak because of the seal, so Ciel doesn't care about her.

.

And Asta finally noticed the little bird that had been following him. Sekore, named Nero, also lived openly on Asta's head.

In any case, Charles and others completed their first mission with great difficulty. The four of them returned to the headquarters that day and reported what happened during the mission to the leader, Yami.

Although Yami usually goes his own way and looks quite unreliable, he also knows his priorities well. He understands how serious a problem is within the Magic Knights, so he reported it to the Magic Emperor as soon as possible

.

However, there was no reply until Charles's holiday came, but Charles believed that the investigation into this matter must be continuing.

Anyway, there is no need for Charles to worry about it now! Even if Charles jumped out to accuse Vankins now, no one would believe it. On the contrary, they would also doubt the source of Charles' intelligence.

So Ciel could only endure it for the time being and wait for a better opportunity. After all, it was too hard to worry about these things during the holidays.

After the incident, in recognition of the Black Bull Group's protection of the villagers, the Magic Emperor awarded a star.

Stars will only be issued after the Magic Knights have achieved merit, which is also proof of the Magic Knights' strength.

By the way, the group that has obtained the most stars now is the Golden Dawn group, with a total of seventy stars.

Naturally, the last one is Black Bull, with a score of... negative thirty points, and this is after adding the one he just got. This is all proof of Black Bull's "misbehavior".

Ciel could clearly see Asta's shock at realizing the gap between him and Yuno!

After everything is over, it's time to pay the monthly salary, and there will be about two days of vacation after each salary payment.

Like Asta, Charles kept part of his daily necessities after receiving his salary, and the rest was sent back to the Haji Village Church.

Without his regular hunting, the church's life will inevitably become tight again. Yuno must have also sent his salary back, and the three people's money can be supplemented to some extent.

During this rare holiday, Ciel originally wanted to go to the library, but he met Asta and Noelle on the way. The two were being taken by Vanessa to go shopping in the royal capital, and Ciel followed him out of curiosity.

.

Vanessa took Asta and Noelle on a broomstick, and Ciel used his magic to quickly arrive at the royal capital.

The last time I came to the royal capital was when I was taking the group test. At that time, I just passed by in a hurry because I was rushing to take the exam. This time it was also an opportunity to get familiar with it. It just so happened that Vanessa was leading the way this time.

"But Noel, why do you look so strange?" Charles asked in confusion.

Noelle's face turned red and he defended: "It's so noisy, I'm from the royal family! How could I have been to a place like this?"

Thinking about it, Ciel looked at the surrounding situation. How could the royal family and nobles appear in such a place? What's more, Noelle is still a real eldest lady, and it is even less likely that she has ever been to the black market.

Yes, what Vanessa brought the three of them to was the illegal market called the black market. Although it was illegal, there was no excessive transaction content on the black market.

In the Clover Kingdom, those who can engage in normal business activities are the noble class. In order to maintain their rule, the royal family has strict restrictions on the trade of some magic tools.

Therefore, many civilians without capital or down-and-out magicians gather in the black market to trade.

Because of this, the black market is a mixed bag, but there may be strange things that are not available in the outside world.

Because the scale is small, the aloof royal family is of course not interested in it, and they don't want to waste their efforts on it, so the black market can exist like this to this day.

If Vanessa hadn't led the way, Ciel wouldn't have been able to find the black market hidden behind magic.

Vanessa was very conscientious and did not go directly to find the enemy who could let her drink wine as Charles thought. Instead, she took the three of them shopping.

Ciel followed him to the capital for the black market. Legend has it that the black market in the capital contains many magic weapons passed down from ancient times. Ciel was very interested in them and planned to study them.

After walking around for a long time, I have indeed gained something. The tattered notebook in Ciel's hand is the research notes of an unknown wizard.

The seller didn't know what he was selling and sold it together with some ordinary magic books. Ciel made a decisive move and got it at a very cheap price.

Unfortunately, Ciel was still optimistic about a magic weapon, but the price was beyond Ciel's ability, so he had to give up.

But after all, he didn't return empty-handed, and Ciel was satisfied.

Walking around the corner of a street, Charles saw a familiar person.

"Huha...no, it's Sakai!"

The man was wearing a green cloak of the Magic Knights, and the coat of arms showed that he was a member of the Emerald Mantis Order.

This person was Sakai who planned to use Asta as a stepping stone during the group test, but because of his strange oral habits, the name "Huha" made him remember it more deeply.

In the original plot, although he was instantly killed by Asta in the actual combat test, he still passed the test.

Unexpectedly, even though there was no battle with Asta this time, he would still join the Mantis Group. It can only be said that it was destined.

Huha stood up from a stall with a gloomy look on his face. Looking at the cards and gold coins on the table, Charles could not guess that he had lost miserably.

"I can see the future!" said the old woman across the table.

Ciel's pupils shrank. If it were someone else's words, this would definitely be a lie, but if it were this person... it might be true.

That old woman was clearly the person who was selling roasted snake skin on the street on the day of the group test, and her true identity was the 28th Magic Emperor Julius Novacrono.

The current magic emperor's magic is the most mysterious time magic. It is not impossible to see the future.

The majestic Magic Emperor used magic to win money from his Magic Knights on the street! I wonder if Asta’s view of the Magic Emperor will change after knowing this.

There was another power outage today. It is said that the cables were being repaired near my home, so the power was cut off during the day. I originally planned to catch up on the plot, but it was delayed. I only have this chapter today, and I will catch up tomorrow.
