"Driving"

A few horsemen on horseback escorted a large carriage to a deserted town, where the houses were overgrown with weeds, the walls were covered with vines, rats and spiders crawled everywhere, and what was even more terrifying was that there were flocks of crows shouting around each house, which made people creep.

This town may have been bustling with activity before, but now there is no trace of people living here.

The carriage and the guards on horseback came to a halt in front of a two-meter-high stone statue in the center of the town.

"Report, we've arrived at where we are. ”

The guards on horseback reported to the men in the carriage.

"It's been a long day, and it's finally here, and we're going to get out of the car and move forward. ”

There was a deep sound from inside the carriage.

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, a middle-aged man walked out, followed by a girl and a little boy, who were Li Luoying, Lena and Prato, who had come out of the city of Fetoko to the black market.

Prato stepped out of the carriage and walked over to the statue, tapping it rhythmically and gently three times, and then waited there silently.

After a while, there was a strange movement in the stone statue, and I saw a stone brick being pulled out, and there was a pair of eyes like dead fish eyes inside, staring outside, and then a sharp voice came out.

"You know the rules, right?"

Prato flicked his right hand, added an extra bag in his hand, and threw it directly through the gap where the stone bricks had been removed.

"Hehe, just right, please wait, ladies and gentlemen. ”

Li Luoying was very curious about this scene, so she quietly asked, "Senior Sister Lena, what is the situation?"

Lena glanced left and right, then covered her mouth and whispered to Li Luoying: "This is the rule before entering the black market - buy road money, if you want to enter the black market, you must first pay the toll, just like buying a ticket, each person charges a hundred gold coins, otherwise it is impossible to let you in." ”

"Boom, boom"

A secret door to the stone statue was opened, revealing a foul smell inside, like the smell of rotting corpses.

"Let's go. ”

Prato didn't care about the foul smell, and walked straight inside, and the guards followed directly, only Li Luoying and Lena covered their mouths and noses and followed in at the end.

After everyone entered, Li Luoying saw the body of the pair of dead fish eyes that appeared in the crack of the stone bricks just now, it was a strange-looking dwarf, with loose hair behind him, an ugly and vicious face, and his body and hands and feet were as thin as wooden sticks.

The gnome led everyone to a room guarded by two men in black robes, the dwarf smiled and nodded, signaling the guard mage, and the two mages opened the door and ushered everyone into the room.

The dwarf did not come in, but stood outside the room, and said again in that sharp voice: "I wish you all the guests the items they want." ”

Then the door of the room closed, the room was empty, almost nothing, only a strange mirror over there, the two guard mages were silently chanting spells, casting magic, only to see that the room began to gradually brighten under the magician's spell, and there were strange energy surges on the walls, floors and ceilings, converging on the mirror, forming a strange energy vortex,

The two mages made a gesture of invitation and motioned for everyone to enter the mirror, and Prato strode forward and went straight in, followed by the guards, Lena, and Li Luoying.

The two guard mages chanted the incantation again, and all the energy gradually dissipated, and everything returned to its original state.

"What kind of place is this, so lively?"

Li Luoying and the others came to an extremely prosperous place through the fixed-point teleportation magic array, where the lights were bright and there were people everywhere, and Li Luoying couldn't help but let out a sound when he saw it.

At this time, a woman with a black blindfold, a bewitching figure, and scantily dressed walked over,

"Welcome to the Black Trading Town, is there anything I can do for you?"

It wasn't the first time Prato had come here, and he knew the rules very well, so he reached out with one hand and hugged the girl, and said with a smile: "Take me to the auction house in the center of the town, this will be your reward." ”

Saying that, she took out a bag of gold coins, padd it with her hands, and listened to the heavy sound of gold coins, at least a few hundred gold coins, the girl was overjoyed, knowing that she had met a big customer, and directly pasted Prato, and kept rubbing his chest against him, making a tempting voice like a kitten: "Don't worry, guest, I am very dedicated." ”

Lena looked at the scene in front of her, wrinkled her nose and pouted, not knowing if she was dissatisfied with her uncle being so lustful or dissatisfied with this woman.

"Junior brother, let's go, anyway, it's still early for the auction, let's go shopping. ”

Lena grabbed Li Luoying's arm and went to wander around other places without looking back.

Prato smiled helplessly, signaled two of the guards, and the two guards understood their intentions and ran directly in the direction where Lena and Li Luoying went.

Li Luoying and Lena wandered slowly along the street like this,

"Sister Lena, what kind of place is this?"

"I don't know, no one knows where the black market is. I heard my father say that every black market is surrounded by powerful magic arrays, as long as you try to break out of the black market, you will be wiped out by the magic array, and there is only one way to enter and exit the black market, and that is to teleport the magic array at a fixed point. In fact, I have only been to the black market twice, counting this time is three times, there are a lot of things that the normal chamber of commerce can't buy, you see here, one is selling some contraband, you see there, it's a place where slaves are traded, there are all kinds of people, there are female slaves, children, old people, and high-level magicians or warriors, like my uncle's several guards used to be slaves, they were bought from here, this is just a small town in the black market, I heard that the most advanced black trading city even has elves, dwarves, orcs have been sold. ”

Li Luoying couldn't help but feel sympathy when he saw those slaves being sold like livestock, and then asked, "Do the two empires still have those associations and the Holy See of Brightness?"

"Junior brother, there is light and darkness in this world, whether it is the two empires, the magician association or the warrior association, they are all human beings, and if they are human beings, they will have a dark side, they definitely disagree on the surface, but secretly they are actually turning a blind eye, because there are also great interests in it for them. As for the Holy See of Light, they have spared no effort to fight the black market in the past, and they have eliminated many black market towns, cities, and even the headquarters of the black market, and I heard that many bishops and priests have been sacrificed because of this, but since five hundred years ago, the entire Holy See of Light has also fallen into a state of internal struggle for power and profit, and now there is no time to pay attention to the black market. ”

"Struggle for power and profit?"

Li Luoying secretly read it in her heart.
