Dean walked along the Avenue of Elysium, and although the business of the taverns on both sides was not as popular as the gambling houses and brothels in the depths of the avenue, it was the only way to enter Elysium, so it also attracted a lot of drinkers.

Along the way, Dean seemed to be walking casually. In fact, it has been found that in some taverns next to the street, there are many people with weapons silently walking out. These guys look like just ordinary drinkers, but all of them have the strength of about three grades. They appear to be unrelated on the surface, but in fact they are all quietly moving in one direction.

Dean speculated that the taverns on the main avenue were supposed to be just a façade for the purpose of planting Elysium eyeliner. And Max, as the sworn enemy of Elysium, no matter how secretive he acts, he will definitely be discovered by these eyeliners as soon as possible.

Knowing this, Max walked towards the path deep in the tavern from the beginning, distancing himself from Dean, hoping to contain the other party's manpower as much as possible.

Dean didn't deliberately speed up his pace, and continued to walk slowly towards the depths of Elysium according to the road map provided by Max in his memory. The underground casino in the deepest part of Elysium, which is the gateway to Gangdi's residence.

Business in Elysium is very good, so even if you pass by the door of a brothel, you won't see a girl standing in front of it to solicit business. It has to be said that Elysium is very delicately constructed. Dean thought that the casinos and brothels were separate, but when he went deeper into the streets, he found that except for some brothels and casinos for the poor, which were scattered in such a "separate" way, the other casinos were all gathered in a place called "Elysium", which is said to be the name of Elysium.

The Elysium is so tall that you can see it even if you stand at the farthest end of the Elysium Avenue. But anyone who has ever been there knows that there are really only two floors.

The first floor is very wide, like a plaza. All those who want to play here must pay an entrance fee before following the service staff on the cable ladder to the brothel and casino located underground. And the second floor, which is said to be Emperor Gang's private space, no one can go up without his permission.

In other words, in fact, the business offices of this tall Bliss Building are all underground, and in addition to the hall on the first floor, which is responsible for the charges, there is only the residence of Emperor Gang, who is high above.

Originally, Dean was still wondering. Why did Emperor Gang's residence be on the second floor of the Bliss Building, but Max wanted him to go down to the gambling house in the deepest part of the ground?

As soon as he entered the Bliss Building, he finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that this Paradise Tower, which is said to be 60 meters high, is more than 50 meters high on the first floor alone. And the entire second floor is like a ceiling on the first floor, without any entrance. Dean guessed that there must be a cable ladder in the deepest part of the underground that could lead to the second floor through a hidden passage in the wall.

Dean sighed secretly, how afraid of death does this guy named Gangdi have to be to come up with such a solution?

According to Elysium's staff, there are four underground floors. The first floor is an entertainment venue similar to a restaurant and bathhouse, which can provide some dining and leisure services, the second floor is a large black market with many new and rare things, the third floor is a huge brothel, where the prostitutes who can scratch their heads are the best goods in the Western Continent, and the last floor is a gambling house, which is said to cover the world's most complete gambling games.

Dean couldn't help but admire the way Gangdi made money, and the guys who came here to play were generally not short of money, mainly to go to the lower two floors for recreation. But when passing by the first two floors, it is inevitable to make additional purchases.

In fact, for Dean, the second floor here is what interests him the most. As one of the best black markets in the continent, Elysium has no shortage of rare treasures. If he can meet what he is looking for, then even if he fails to kill Emperor Gang, this trip will be worth it.

Dean handed the five gold coins to the person in charge of collecting the fees, and then slowly descended to the first basement floor as the cable sank. As Dean thought, in order to increase the consumption of tourists, the cable ladder had to be moved down one level. So he had to go around this floor in a full circle to find the cable ladder that led to the second basement floor.

The basement of Elysium is more inviting than Dean had imagined. A variety of fresh food is illuminated by the huge sun stone at the top, which fills the eyes of tourists. Bursts of aroma rush in and it's hard to resist. Because Dean is pregnant with dragon blood, his body's various perception abilities are also stronger than normal humans.

Dean sniffled, discerning the smell of an herb from the aroma of the food. This herb, called Tara, somewhat resembles psychedelic effects, and can be used as a medicine in small amounts, but in large quantities it is addictive. This kind of drug is banned by the Holy See, and it seems that the restaurants here are not a serious business.

Ignoring this, Dean walked quickly to the cable ladder and went straight down to the second basement floor. He thought in his heart, it is estimated that Max has already begun to deal with the people of Elysium at this time, so he must hurry.

Coming to the second basement floor, Dean saw that the black market here was much more regular than the previous black market. Before exiting the cable ladder, Dean was asked to change into a cloak. This is a measure made by Elysium to protect tourists, and the cloak can hide their faces and identities well, and can ensure that tourists leave safely, after all, there are many people who find treasures in the black market and die on the way home.

Dean wanted to quickly find the cable ladder and continue down, but as he walked, he suddenly smelled blood. Following the scent, Dean came to a small shop hidden in the corner.

It looks like the shop hasn't been cleaned in a long time, and the door is ajar and I don't know if it's open or closed. Dean hesitated and knocked on the door. I didn't expect an old man to suddenly come out of the store!

The old man had no hair, but he had a long beard and short limbs, and he looked like a dwarf. And the face is very ugly, and the unfriendly expression makes people even more disgusted.

No wonder there is so much dust in this small shop, and there is such a cold-faced ugly old man, who wants to come here to buy things?

But Dean ignored this, and he smiled at the old man, "Can I go in and have a look?"

The old man didn't speak, turned around and pushed the door completely open.

Dean walked into the store and found it even more dilapidated than he looked from the outside. Some places have even formed cobwebs, and I really don't know how this guy managed to run it.

Dean's eyes wandered the shelves at random, and he noticed that there was something strange here. What beast's nails, glowing snakes, baby samples with tails...... It's a booth for an evil lab.

It hadn't been two minutes since he entered the door, and the old man became impatient: "Have you finished reading it!?"

Finally, Dean found a small glass bottle, which was only the thickness of his little finger, and the red liquid contained in it was only a little more than half a bottle, but the smell was fishy.

Dean casually skimmed over the vial, grabbed a small golden horn in his hand, and asked the old man, "How much is this?"

The old man did not speak and pointed to the wall, and Dean looked down to find a piece of paper pasted on the wall, which read: We do not accept gold or money, and all goods are bartered.

Dean asked again, "And what do you collect here?"

"The more exotic the better. The old man didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

Dean smiled, took a handful of mane from the old horse's body from his bosom and handed it to the old man.

The old man didn't take over, but glanced at it casually and said, "Horsemane?"

Without speaking, Dean took out the water bladder he had brought with him and poured some water on his mane.

I saw that the horsehair began to squirm like the tentacles of an octopus. The old dwarf's eyes widened suddenly, and he stepped forward quickly and grabbed Dean's hand holding his mane.

He looked cautiously at the door, then whispered to Dean, "This thing has long been extinct, where did you get this mane?"

"You don't have to worry about this, anyway, I know this thing can cure your dampness. Dean smiled at the old man.

As soon as he entered, Dean noticed that the shop, though underground and in the shade of the corner, looked very dry. When he saw the water-absorbing pine resin and the rotten sores on the edge of the old man's neck placed everywhere in the shop, he understood that this guy was full of damp poison.

The old man subconsciously pulled his shirt to his neck to cover the rotten sores caused by the damp poison.

Dean placed the still wriggling horsehair on the table beside him, then put the small horn he had picked up into his clothes, and took something else along the way. Finally, I grabbed the small glass bottle and quietly put it away. Ignoring the old man who was still in a daze with his mane, he walked directly out the door.

But the old man grabbed him, raised his head and squinted and asked, "Little brother, since this mane can still squirm, it means that it was taken from a living creature." I wonder if you're willing to tell the old man where the living creature is?"

Dean shook off the old man's hand and said lightly, "No comment." ”

Click!

I don't know what the old man moved, but the storefront of the shop closed automatically, and a steel fence fell from the door beam. At the same time, a strange aroma emanated from all corners of the room.

Dean turned to the diminutive old man and sneered, "Old man, you're not satisfied if I trade that thing for you for such a few broken things?"

The old man took two steps back, took out a knife and smiled at Dean: "It's up to you to say it or not, this spice will make you lose your strength slowly, and I will ask you slowly when the time comes." ”

Dean felt that the spice seemed to have an anesthetic effect and covered his mouth and nose.

"It's useless, except for the antidote I concocted, as long as people can't stop the effect of this medicine. The old man smiled, estimating that the effect of the medicine was almost getting stronger, and approached Dean with a knife.

Who knows, Dean actually grabbed the old man's neck with a sudden step and pressed it to the shelf.

"Ahh......h How can it be. The old man stabbed Dean in the arm with a knife and said with difficulty.

But Dean's arm was like a rock wall, and it wasn't something that an ordinary knife could stab.

"Old man, who told you that I am human?" Dean's eyes gradually glowed red, and the old man was almost fainted with fright.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared behind Dean, snatching the horn he pinned to his waist.

Dean looked back and saw that it was a guy who looked exactly like the old dwarf man.
