Chapter 4 The Black Market
Mephitos is quiet in the dark. As a new pioneering city, Memphis is mixed with people, and the darkness is a breeding ground for sins. Therefore, except for a few places, the nights of Mephitos are quiet. The black market is one of the few places.
The black market of Mephitos is not in the main city, and it is even said that it has been separated from Mephitos because it is in the sea.
After waiting for three days, the black market opened. Taking a small boat with two soldiers, under the guidance of Sir Link, Sean came to a small island not far from Memphis. Of course, they did not get on at this moment. Island, still waiting on the boat.
At this time, the moonlight was just right. With this bright moonlight, Sean could barely see the appearance of the island in the distance, and when he turned back, the light of the Memphis Beacon Lighthouse was faintly visible.
As if worried that Sean was not used to waiting like this, Sir Link took the initiative and said:
"The island where the black market of Memphis is located is a bit peculiar. There are many reefs around. If there is no guidance from someone familiar with hydrology, the ship can easily hit the reef."
Hearing this, Sean's face showed a thoughtful look. It is not easy to find such a place in the vicinity of Mephitos. This black market is quite difficult.
That is, at this time, a little light came on from a distance, and it was getting closer and closer to Sean and the others. Obviously, the black market side was attracting people.
Someone guided, Sean and his party went to the island smoothly, but the scene after going to the island was beyond Sean's expectations.
In Sean's mind, since it is a black market, the participants should all wear black robes and masks. In fact, although there are such people, most of them do not do too much disguise, and the number of black market is also high. beyond his expectations.
"Sir Link, this black market is very lively."
"Yes, Sir Sean, the black market in Memphis was established very early, and has a good reputation. There has never been any rumors about black people eating black, so it has attracted many people, not only those from Memphis. There were other pioneers, and even the aborigines of the New World."
After listening to Sir Link's words, Sean's rating on the black market increased a little bit.
Walking on the outskirts of the black market, looking at the scattered and disorganized stalls around, Sean's eyes flickered with curiosity, maybe he could pick it up too.
Of course, after walking around, Sean knew that he was thinking too much. Although there are many things on the periphery of the black market, there are very few things that may catch his eye. The only flame gem, the stall owner is still A man who understands.
Sir Link followed Sean around the outside of the black market and didn't say much, because he could understand the psychology of a young man like Sean who just came out of his home, and he thought it was not like that at the beginning.
After looking at the time, and looking at Sean, who was obviously not interested in going on, Sir Link said:
"Sir Sean, it's almost time, the trade fair in the inner black market is about to start, and there will be some good extraordinary items in it, maybe we can go and have a look."
After hearing this, Sean understood why the extraordinary items on the periphery of the black market were all concentrated in the inner periphery. Under such circumstances, Sean naturally had nothing to say, and followed Sir Link to the inner circle.
After paying the security deposit of fifty gold Galleons, Sean and his party entered the inner circle of the black market or the Black Hall.
With fifty gold Galleons as the threshold, the number of people in the black hall is much smaller, but although the number is small, the quality has improved. Just a little look, Sean found no less than three suspected extraordinary existences, There are also some good gangs, most of them are fully armed and cannot be underestimated, and some of them even carry the same Lester single-shot rifles as Sean's two guards. You must know that the Lester single-shot rifle, as the latest research result of the Kingdom of Sutiert, has only been replaced by a few main troops, and these people were able to get it. There must be a lot of tricks, but all of this is not the same as Sean. It doesn't matter much,
Of course he won't be too busy.
After waiting for a while, about a quarter of an hour later, the magic crystal lamp hanging in the center of the black hall lit up, the entrance and exit doors were closed, and the black market fair officially started.
The black market presides over the trade fair is a dwarf with heavy reading glasses and a bushy white beard bound by a brass ring. Yes, it is a dwarf, and it is also a gray dwarf known as the shame of the dwarves.
To be honest, the appearance of this dwarf really gave Sean a surprise. After all, the dwarves in the old continent have long since disappeared and only exist in the history books.
"Everyone, I believe that many acquaintances know me, but I still want to say a few words. The rules of the trade fair are very simple. Those who have good things can bring them to the stage for trading. If you have doubts about the item, you can go to the stage to verify it yourself, or you can ask the little old man to identify it, okay, that's all I have said, and the trade will begin."
Although the gray dwarf was old, his voice was still loud, so that the whole hall could hear it clearly.
"Sir Link, aren't people from the black market at the fair participating?"
After listening to the words of the gray dwarf, Sean was a little puzzled.
"Sir Sean, people in the black market will not participate in the monthly small black market fair, but the black market organizes a large auction every year. At that time, the black market will come up with some boutiques to attract popularity."
"I see."
The routine of the black market is simple, but it is also very effective. Just as Sean was communicating with Sir Link, someone walked onto the trading desk.
The trade fairs in the inner circle are indeed quite different from those in the outer circle. The extraordinary items that are rarely seen in the outer circle are constantly appearing here, although the rank is not high.
Of course, the fair is not all about extraordinary items, there are also some things like gems and antiques, but these things all have one thing in common, that is, the origin is unknown.
In the first few transactions of the fair, Sean didn't make a move. The only one that he liked was the small fireball ring, which was a first-order strange thing. He also gave up because there were too many competitors and the asking price was too high. After all, he bought this strange thing. The purpose of the object is to absorb the source power, and the cost performance of this small fireball ring is obviously not high. But soon, an item that really moved Sean appeared.
"Everyone, my trade item is the corpse of an extraordinary first-order brown-haired bison. There are no other requirements, just Jin Galleon."
As the scar-faced man's voice fell, two strong men carried a brown-haired bison to the stage.
Bang, there is a sound on the ground. The brown-haired bison weighs about 400 kilograms. It should be regarded as a calf. There are bullet holes in its head. It should be shot at close range with a large-caliber shotgun after falling into a trap. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for ordinary firearms to cause fatal damage to such bison.
There are not a few people who are interested in the corpse of a bovine extraordinary creature. After all, as an extraordinary ingredient, it can divide a lot of meat.
