Chapter 41: The Underground Black Market in Arabella
The second prince, Karl, and the two of them sorted out the existing information and confirmed each other's thoughts. Karl said to the two:
"Ryan, that's right, Sain and I have practiced matching, so we can act together, but the three of us have not practiced matching with each other, and if we act together, we may elbow each other."
"So I suggest that the three of us go straight to three ways. Follow your own expertise to explore these questions about the black light and the flame pill behind it. What do you think? ”
Li Qiang and Sain nodded together, agreeing with Carl's suggestion.
Carl saw the two of them nodding. After organizing the language, he continued, "Okay, then I'll assign the next task,"
"Ryan, you have a very, very good illusion, and you are a mage, so you can say that you are extremely flexible at the tactical level, and your task is to infiltrate the base camp and then try to find out who is behind it."
After hearing this, Li Qiang nodded and said that he understood.
Karl then looked at Knight Thane and said to him, "Sain, you just find out the raw materials for making the Flame Pill, we need to know how this thing came about, and it's best to see if we can find out the recipe for the Flame Pill?" So that we can make a corresponding antidote."
Knight Cyne nodded and said he understood.
Carl then said to the two: "As for me, I will use the royal family's power in the royal city to collect who is behind the local gang of Black Light, and arrest them all in one go."
After seeing that neither of them had different opinions, Carl nodded and stood up and stretched, and said to the two: "Okay, then it's decided, and it's not too early now, let's act together tomorrow."
"Yes," both replied at the same time.
On the second day, Li Qiang came to the gate of the Black Light Base Camp again. After giving the person in front of him who looked like a butcher more than a guard, Li Qiang safely entered the base camp.
Li Qiang walked to the hall where he walked in last time. Seeing that many people were still sitting in the hall chatting, Li Qiang pulled a civilian who was dressed fairly well and said, "Hello, can I ask you some questions?" ”
The man looked at Eun in surprise, then nodded. said: "Okay, you ask." ”
Li Qiang glanced left and right, and then said to this person: "That's the case, what about me, I just joined the black light today, and I'm really not familiar with it." This is the base camp. What is it called, is there anything worth my attention? ”
When the man heard that Li Qiang was a newcomer. Straightened his chest in an instant. patted Li Qiang on the shoulder.
Then he pulled Li Qiang aside and sat down, putting his leg on top of the other leg. With his hands on his knees, he said to Li Qiang in a relaxed posture:
"You're asking the right question. Who doesn't know that I, Jerry, is a jack of all trades. I'll give you an introduction. ”
Looking at Jerry, who suddenly stopped talking. Li Qiang reluctantly took out a few copper coins from his arms and handed them to Jerry's hand.
Jerry took the copper coin and flipped it, roughly counted the number, and then put it directly into his arms and said:
"This base camp of our Black Light is called Arabella. It can be said that our black light is developing extremely rapidly. ”
"Under the control of a few principals, we are already about to dominate 1/4 of the lower city, and soon we will develop to the middle of the upper city and become a real big force, when the time comes. We're developed,"
Jerry waved his hands excitedly. Then he continued: "In Arabella." There are two places worth noting, one is the office hall where we are now, and they are all places where members of the Black Light are looking for tasks and tasks. There's another place! ”
Speaking of this, Jerry quietly lowered his head and whispered in Li Qiang's ear: "There is another place, which is the black market in Arabella." This is the core of who we are, and there are countless good things in it. You won't be disappointed."
As soon as Li Qiang heard the word black market, his interest came up. Li Qiang also turned his head, stared at Jerry and asked, "Then can I go in and have a look at this black market?" ”
Jerry nodded, changed his posture, leaned forward and said to Li Qiang: "Of course you can enter, you go to the office next to it, hand him a silver coin, and say that you are going to the black market to get dirty." As soon as he hears it, he will understand, and then you can take the token he gave you to the black market. ”
After listening to this, Li Qiang probably got to the point. He took out a few more copper coins and handed them to Jerry, who accepted them contentedly, waved his hand at Li Qiang, turned around and walked into the crowd and disappeared.
Li Qiang got up and looked left and right to see that no one was paying attention to him, so Li Qiang slowly approached the office and walked in.
In a similar situation as yesterday, Li Qiang handed the masked man a silver coin, and the masked man in black nodded and didn't say anything, took out a bite from under the table, and took out a bronze medal engraved with a few words and threw it to it. Li Qiang then. waved his hand at the trail behind him, and no longer paid attention to Li Qiang.
Li Qiang nodded, and let the masked man walk towards the black market behind him.
went downstairs through the path and came to the underground, Li Qiang entered the black market,
This black market is like a street, and there are no shops. There were several pillars lined up, a few oil lamps hung under them, and some people just spread a fur blanket on the ground and put some objects, not some people sitting, some people standing and some chatting with the people next to them. Looking at the scene, there is a little bit of excitement in the market.
Li Qiang walked around the market, observing while strolling, picking up the things of a stall from time to time and asking the stall owner about the price, then put it down, shook his head and walked to the next stall.
After Li Qiang walked around the black market for a few rounds, he roughly confirmed the layout of the black market.
There are about four or five hundred stalls here, and it can be said that it is a very prosperous market.
Most of the things sold are stolen goods of unknown origin. That is, the so-called nobleman's candlestick, whose badge is nothing special, but there are two commodities that attract Li Qiang's attention the most. It's military materiel. One is a small amount of magic materials.
Li Qiang thought for a moment. Slowly summed up: "This is the black market in Arabella. The problem revealed is not small, now this situation can directly sell military materials in the black market, then there must be military factories, and their military factories are not known. ”
"And. They also have a certain amount of magic materials to know magic materials. Basically, it is monopolized by the aristocracy, that is, there must be a certain amount of aristocracy behind this market, I don't know who it is. ”
While he was thinking, Li Qiang saw a masked man in a black uniform walking up the shop, followed by two thugs. Every time you walk through a stall, the stall owner hands over a few silver coins. The person nods, and moves on to the next one.
Li Qiang thought about it, isn't this a tax officer, so his money. Thinking of this, Li Qiang gradually had an idea in his heart.
