Simon staggered back to the hotel, he was still in a mess in his mind, and the sudden sense of lack seemed to drain all his strength and thoughts, until almost ten minutes of sunset, Simon who was lying on the bed gradually eased up, but he didn't know that his connection with a certain part of this world had been completely cut off by Zhang Ye using "Dad's wire cutters".

Exhausted when he opened his eyes, Simon, who was already soaked with sweat, struggled to sit up, and found his attendant sitting on the sofa next to his bed, dozing off little by little.

"You... Ahem, ahem... As soon as Simon opened his mouth, he felt that his throat was as dry as a desert, and he couldn't even say a word.

He coughed a few times with a red face, and at the same time woke up his attendant.

"Simon, you're finally awake, what's wrong with you in the afternoon, it scares me to death. ”

Seeing Simon sit up, the attendant, who was still red-eyed in his dream, hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

It's not because of how worried Simon is, but because when he accompanied Simon to Sleepless City to participate in the competition this time, Simon's father had already told him that he wanted him to take good care of Simon, and if something happened to Simon, his whole family would have to play with him.

"Water... Simon struggled to utter a word.

"Water??oh, water, water. ”

After drinking a large glass of water brought by his attendant, Simon threw away the quilt and let out a long breath.

"What the hell is going on?" Simon's voice was still hoarse.

"I don't know, I was just about to leave with you in the morning, and you suddenly couldn't stand still, if you were sick. ”

"I've been working hard since I was a child, how could I get sick so suddenly. ”

Simon said, shaking his head.

He was naturally thin and useless no matter how much he exercised, but his physical fitness did match his blacksmith rank.

"By the way, Simon, didn't that Andre suddenly shout something strange to you when you left? ”

The attendant carefully recalled what happened in the morning, and Zhang Ye's behavior at that time was indeed a little strange.

Although Simon didn't believe that Zhang Ye, a poor boy, was qualified to practice spells, and through observation, he was sure that Zhang Ye was indeed a blacksmith, and had already cultivated the "Holy Body Ascension", how could he still have time to learn the mage's set of cultivation techniques to exercise the soul and brain.

But just in case, he still felt the situation in his body carefully.

After some inspection, Simon shook his head.

"Everything is normal except for the excessive loss of vitality, and no traces of spells are detected. ”

"Isn't it a curse?

The attendant asked with a frowning face.

"Forget it, I don't understand, although it's nothing now, but it must have something to do with that poor boy, and when the second round of the game is made, you must make him look good, you go get some food, I'm dying of hunger." ”

All kinds of feelings slowly returned with Simon's sobriety, and after the anger, a huge hunger pang followed.

"Okay, okay, you wait a minute, I'll let the people from the hotel prepare. ”

The attendant got up and walked outside.

"Let them get more!"

Simon's voice came from behind him.

"Okay, got it. ”

As everyone knows, the nightmare has just begun.

。。。。。。

There are a total of six gates in the Sleepless City, in addition to the two gates specially used for the magic train to pass through, the Sleepless City is located in a very correct position, and there are four gates in the south, east, west, and north.

Zhang Ye's residence is close to the North City Gate, which usually has the largest flow of people, and the North City Gate is not only close to the boundary line, but also rich in various resources, so this is a place where many adventurers in Sleepless City often come and go.

The black market in Sleepless City is located near the West City Gate, after the black uniform turmoil in the morning, Zhang Ye and Daria each forged some things at random to practice, just as Dariya was about to go home, Bonis's carriage stopped at the door of Zhang Ye's blacksmith shop.

"Andre boy, I'm sorry, I said yesterday that I was going to go to the black market with you after work, but I have something to do temporarily, and I really can't go, no, I finished my work early today, just to accompany you to the black market. ”

Zhang Ye and Dariya were very happy about Boness's sudden visit, after all, they could go to the black market.

"Hurry up and close the shop and get on the bus, little Daria, I have already talked to your teacher. ”

Little Robert was too young to go, and after being coaxed and sent home by Zhang Yelian, the two got into Bonis's carriage and headed for the black market in the west of the city.

The journey was quite long, and along the way, Zhang Ye also told Bonis about the pickets coming in the morning.

"Andrey, you're certainly not your problem. ”

After listening to Zhang Ye, Bonis was a little worried.

He was afraid that his and Al's care and care for Zhang Ye would cause Zhang Ye's heart to swell.

"Of course it won't be Andrei's problem, the pickets have confirmed it. ”

Daria said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Bonis, I will never let my grip on the quality of the forging. ”

"That's good, that's good. ”

As the carriage approached the black market, the sun had set, and the street lamps were lit up.

Bonis lifted the curtain of the car and glanced outside, and then said to Zhang Ye and Dariya seriously: "It looks like I'm going to arrive soon, but I have to make a few requests to the two of you before I go, if you can't do it, you don't have to go." ”

"Okay Mr. Bonis. ”

"Say it, Uncle Bonis. ”

The two nodded hurriedly and said.

"Well, this is the first and the general rule of the black market, there are people who do anything in places like the black market, for the sake of safety, you need to wear a mask to cover your face, I have prepared a mask for you, as for me, I don't have to wear it, even if I wear a mask, it is too easy to be recognized. ”

Taking out two masks from the box beside him, Bonis handed them to Zhang Ye and Daria.

The mask is simply black.

"This second, follow me closely after entering the black market, if anyone talks to you, don't you know, Energizer will be handed over to me to solve. ”

"Thirdly, the black market is basically based on stalls, if you see something, tell me and I'll deal with it, so as not to be fooled by those people. ”

"Fourth, and most importantly, if there is a conflict, your first priority is to get out of the black market as soon as possible, and I can solve it myself, you know. ”

"There are four demands in total, and if you can't do it, I'll ask Ferrey to turn around and go back now. ”

"It can be done, Mr. Bonis. ”

"I can too. ”

"That's good, put on the mask before you get out of the carriage, and besides, Daria, you put away your forging hammer, it's too conspicuous. ”

Watching Daria reluctantly shrink the hammer and put it away, Bonis nodded.

After a while, Ferry's voice was heard from the front of the carriage.

"Sir, it's here. ”

The carriage slowly stopped, and Zhang Ye and Dariya hurriedly put on their masks.

Pushing open the carriage door, there was a residential area similar to Zhang Ye's small courtyard outside, and many people's chimneys were emitting curling smoke, a peaceful and quiet appearance.

"Ferret, wait for us at the exit. Bonis said before getting out of the car.

"Yes, sir. ”

After getting out of the car, Bonis walked into a small alley, and not long after, he stopped in front of a house.

"Knock, knock, knock"

Zhang Ye noticed that Bonis's knocking sound had a certain pattern, and it was estimated that only in this way would the people inside open the door.

"Squeak~~" The courtyard door was pushed open, and a person poked his head out to take a look.

"Mr. Bonis, please come in. ”

Led the three of them into a side room in the courtyard, the man pushed open the door, then turned and looked at Bonis with his hands outstretched.

Bonis took out a bag and threw it at him.

"30, just a little more. Bonis said with a blank face.

The man opened the bag and looked at it, then checked it.

"Please come in. Putting the money in his arms, the man took two steps and let go of the door.

There was a lot of firewood piled up in the dimly lit room, and after Zhang Ye and the three of them entered, the man closed the door behind them.

There was a slight clicking sound of the door locking.

This made Zhang Ye immediately frown, and the muscles in his body tensed.

"Don't panic, this is one of the entrances to the black market in Sleepless City, and it is normal to collect entrance fees and lock the door, but you are right to be vigilant, there are too many people who accidentally die in this place of the black market. ”

Hearing Bonis's explanation, Zhang Ye relaxed, but still paid attention to the movements around him.

After appeasing Zhang Ye, Bonis walked to the side of the pyre, rubbing it to find a hemp rope that looked as if it had been placed randomly and was pressed under the pyre.

As he tugged hard, a hidden entrance appeared at his feet.

The entrance opens downwards and inside is a dimly lit staircase, the first of which is home to several hand lamps.

"It's so well hidden, it's all in time for my warehouse. ”

Zhang Ye thought to himself.

"Keep up. Bonis was the first to descend the entrance passage and took a lantern.

"Each of you takes a lamp, and that's included in the entrance fee. ”

Zhang Ye and Daria each took a small lantern when they heard this, and learned from Bonis to turn the button of the lantern base to light it.

This staircase is not straight down, similar to the tunnel, after walking down for a while is a flat tunnel, and then there is an upward step, the three of them walked up again Not long after, another wooden door appeared in front of them.

"Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock"

This time Bonis knocked on the door more often than before.

"Squeak~" The wooden door opened, and Bonis was the first to enter.

Zhang Ye and Dariya also followed closely behind and walked out of the tunnel.

"Welcome. ”

The two strong men standing at the door said to the three of them expressionlessly.

When I went out, it was immediately much more open, this was a very large indoor space, but the lights were still very dark, there were a lot of strange things on the stalls in rows, and there were many people wandering around to choose the things on the stalls, but basically everyone was wearing black masks, and there were a few wooden houses on both sides, the houses were brightly lit, and the noisy sound like a market resounded in this closed space.

"Go, remember what I said, and follow me. ”

As soon as Bonis's voice fell, the prompt sound of the system in Zhang Ye's mind also came at the same time.

"Ding~ triggers a temporary mission. ”
