Chapter 17 Armistice Agreement - Underground Black Market

Larson at night is very different from the daytime. Without the hustle and bustle of beast-riding merchants and other vendors during the day, the place is still not peaceful.

The wandering song and dance troupe takes the trading area as its performance location.

Amid the gorgeous lights, young girls dressed in colorful clothes and danced on a simple stage temporarily built.

Local residents and some vendors gathered in the trading area to watch the dance troupe's performance with great interest.

No one noticed that under this lively stage, there was a building excavated and repaired underground. Many nobles and merchants also admired the songs and dances, but the dancers were replaced by humans to half-elf of the mixed-race.

By purchasing an expensive pass from the merchant who was inquiring about the news, Roland successfully got into the black market that specializes in auctioning extremely precious items among merchants.

She put on herself an apprentice cloak that she specially went to the magical supplies store to buy. Roland disguised as a mage is relative to the brightly dressed nobles around her. She can only describe her weak sense of existence by "seeing nothing".

However, for safety reasons, she still put on the standard equipment of President Tarasha who was taken off during the day. In case something really happens to be difficult, she can also use the title of president to avoid some troubles that may conflict with General Ming Zhan's identity.

******************************************

Very luxurious...

Walking in the corridor filled with merchants, Roland couldn't help but be amazed at the luxury of the building.

The best magic crystals were used for lighting, which made the merchants shook their heads repeatedly. At the same time, they were curious about the owner behind the black market. It was absolutely impossible to be as simple as ordinary merchants.

After the singing and dancing, a middle-aged man dressed in greasy head and flour ran to the circular stone platform located in the center of the entire underground building.

Under his command, the half-elf who had danced previously brought out the items that had been prepared for auction.

"The first auction item tonight - Sleeping Scent. The spice that can make people die in their sleep, the authentic ones purchased from followers, can definitely ensure that everyone here wants to kill. Of course, it is only effective in sleep. The price of 1,000 gold coins starts."

As soon as the auctioneer with a weird voice finished speaking, a nobleman sitting in the upper left corner raised his hand.

"I'll give 5,000!!"

"It's Baron Gronf. It seems that he is eager to kill his brother and inherit his other half of his father's property."

The whispers of the people did not allow the recognized nobleman to leave. He still sat in his position, intending to continue to wait and see the auction of the following items.

"The second auction item."

The auctioneer's sharp voice once again attracted everyone's attention. A half-elf girl raised the tray in her hand, and placed a memory crystal with a pure texture on it. The originally light purple color appeared a strange dark red under the light of the magic crystal.

"The memory crystal of Hahodham's defense battle five hundred years ago flowed out of the golden tree, and a small number of images of the undead were stored inside. This is one of the few precious information about General War of the Underworld. The starting price of 30,000 gold..."

"fifty thousand."

Roland was the first to shout out the price, which was the highest price she could afford.

Roland could not let things related to him fall into the upper realm. With this idea, he would spend a lot of money.

But then the nobles made a series of quotes, which forced her to ask Andre to complete this task.

After all, there is not much cash that can be paid directly on hand, and most of the things she holds are possessions such as gems. Merchants will not collect them as currency until they are correctly estimated.

In the end, this memory crystal was bought by a mage for a high price of 90,000 yuan.

Roland secretly wrote down the name of the mage, thought about leaving the auction site and contacting Andre.

Next, as the auctioneer tortures people's eardrums, various precious gems, rare minerals, handicrafts made by the masters, etc. were sold one by one.

After waiting for a long time, it was late at night, the auctioneer finally did not let the half-elves bring out those valuable objects that were not attractive to the nobles and wealthy merchants.

He clapped his hands, and several burly men supported a trembling mage and ran to the stone platform.

"Everyone, the time you have been waiting for for a long time has finally arrived." In the auctioneer's mysterious and excited voice, a giant box-like object covering the curtain rose from under the stone platform.

“What would it be?”

People have speculated that no one can say what is in it.

"Can it be a newly discovered phantom beast?"

Some merchants have their reasons for this speculation. The cage that was too large was lifted up by the auctioneer and locked up with cages made of fine iron with legs thick as someone must be some kind of large beast.

The mage crawled in from the corner that was lifted, and after a while, he crawled out again, nodding to the auctioneer.

"Four hundred thousand crystal coins!!"

The thick black curtain was completely removed, and the auctioneer's voice was sharp to a point. However, what shocked everyone was not his voice, but the price he quoted.

Crystal currency is not made of real metal like silver or gold, but a general term.

The highest standard currency units of each continent are used as a unified measurement standard, so that even different countries from each continent can have an accurate basis.

To everyone's expectations, the cage was not filled with the beast I imagined, but a boy of about fifteen or sixteen.

The pure black hair color makes people gathered in the black market amazed.

The Dark Clan!!

The boy lay on his side in a huge iron cage, and the traces of a whip could be vaguely identified on his body. The long gown soaked in blood could no longer see its original color.

"This, is such a little devil worth 400,000 crystal coins?" The nobleman who bought the dark secret medicine at the beginning stood up excitedly, pointed at the human-shaped boy who was lying motionless in the cage, and roared in disbelief.

The rarity of the Dark Clan is not the same as five hundred years ago. Today, the Dark Clan is everywhere.

Even the Southern Continent, which believes in the Light, can often see the mixed-race dark tribe. At the border with the Western Continent and near the inland sea, there are even nobles appearing.

Therefore, when the final sale appeared in front of people, both the nobles and the rich businessmen were shocked.

They have participated in this underground black market many times, and they cherish the things they auction every time, but they didn't expect that today a dark clan would dare to shout out a sky-high price of 400,000 crystal coins.

Amid the noise and discussion, the young man in the cage woke up. He stared at the people around him who were polite to him. The anger released by his red eyes had burned them to scorch.

Unexpectedly, the boy's eyes met Roland, who was also shocked.

In an instant, all the anger turned into joy.

Noting his abnormality, the mage stretched out his hand and the fierce black market bodyguard immediately rushed down the stone platform and headed straight for Roland hiding among the crowd.

Frightened by the arrival of the bodyguard, they withdrew from the road. People looked at the magic apprentice surrounded by the group in shock and confusion. They didn't know how he offended the black market.

No one who makes trouble on the black market can leave alive.

"Is he your companion?" The mage's hoarse voice was filled with anxiety, but the black-haired boy completely ignored his question and looked straight at Roland in the crowd.

"Contractor...Contractor..." The blurred tone was spit out from the young man's mouth, which not only made the mage's eyes feel desperate and resentful, but also made Roland frown. Her eyes looked at the old mage wearing the robe of the great mage, which also contained very few emotions - anger.

The tongue that can make sound has been pulled out, so the boy can hardly make a complete sound.

"Take him down for me!" The mage stretched out his trembling hands, and his turbid eyes exuded an astonishing murderous intent.

Roland did not retreat but advanced, broke through the blockade of the black market bodyguards, and jumped straight onto the stone platform.

The boy in the cage stretched out his hand excitedly, and the constant whimpering sound made her unable to help but scold the mage.

"Are you crazy? It's okay if you just imprison it, but you even pulled out its tongue!!"

"How can I imprison it if I don't do this?" The mage's gray pupils glanced Roland up and down, and made a contemptuous laughter; "This is also considered a contractor, and he does not have any magic at all."

Just as he was about to draw his sword, Roland suddenly felt the demon dragon ordered not to appear in front of others at will.

[This guy leaves it to me.]

[Okay...I'll go see the child.] Knowing that it's impossible to dissuade Yader, Roland took off the cloak used for disguise.

"You..." The mage was shocked by the golden three-headed dragon in the robe of bravery on her body. He was not an inexplicable apprentice, but knew what the badge meant.

Not only warriors who have won the honor of the Temple of War, but only the Dragon Knight who is a heavenly knight can obtain it. The two thousand years of severance has long forgotten its original intention.

"Who are you? You dare to make trouble here!!"

Several nobles in the city who were originally sitting in the VIP seat stood up and scolded Roland, who had suddenly disrupted the auction, but saw that the apprentice, who was originally wearing a wizard cloak, transformed and immediately became a knight in a long gown.

People all watched the change in the field in surprise.

"I originally didn't want to reveal my identity, but this city has violated the third law. The dragon clan's anger has burned this place to ashes. If you don't want to die, get out immediately." With Roland's words, the black dragon phantom that slowly emerged from her body gradually turned into a physical body.

"Silly and ignorant humans, you lowly species, dare to commit such an unforgivable sin against the noble dragon clan, be punished!!"

The black flames rushed towards the shocked old mage until it made a loud bang, and the dull people ran around in panic.

The central open space in the trading area exploded into a large pit by the flames soaring out of the sky, and hundreds of people flocked out of the collapsed ground, scaring the civilians who were still watching the singing and dancing.

"What's going on?!" The lord, who had been tired for a day, was awakened by a loud noise as soon as he fell asleep. He quickly called the butler.

"Not good, Lord Lord!" The guard captain knocked on the door in panic outside the house; "What happened!!"

Following the butler's terrified eyes, the lord saw a terrifying figure appearing in the sky.

The shadow of a giant dragon slowly took shape over his city, and the shocking roar brought the entire city of Larson into panic.
