Chapter 19: The Black Market
Leo Village, Tuesday, morning.
The low prayers make the church look more solemn, and the early morning light shining through the windows makes Dai look like a pious angel.
She listened to every prayer and repeated it, but in her heart she was thinking of a fallen god who did not know the origin.
After one devout believer after another left, Dai began to pray for herself.
"The Great Being of Paradise Lost..."
"The only, special deity..."
The voice echoed softly in the church of the Dawnbreaker God.
Following the footsteps of the butler Old Tyre, Dai turned slightly.
"I'm going on a trip to Downtown. ”
The old butler held in his hand a simple linen suit.
"It's ready, Miss. ”
"Hmm", Dai took the dress and draped it over her body, a linen robe with a hood, which could completely envelop her thin body.
There was only one way to Kotar, and the only means of transportation available was Totai's carriage, but he was more than happy to serve Miss Dai for free.
This is not only because Dai is the only teacher in the remote village, but also because she has a young and admirable appearance, while Totai is still single.
But what Totai knows is that he's too old.
"Miss Dai, what are you doing in the city today? If you need a strong porter, I suggest you ask Roddy. ”
Seeing that Dai's mood had not fluctuated, and his face was still cold, Totai thought for a while and added:
"Today Roddy just moved to 15-2 Black Willow Street. ”
Dai nodded slightly, then looked ahead of the road, obviously reluctant to communicate.
Totai drove the carriage as much as he could, controlling it to pick up the smoother surface, and then cautiously glanced at Dai.
There are a lot of rumors about Dai in the village, some say that he is a down-and-out nobleman, and some say that he didn't go along with those nobles because he came to Leo Village for one reason or another, no matter which one he had, Totai didn't care.
This is a taciturn girl with few smiles, which may have something to do with her past, but no one would think that Dai is an incompetent teacher.
Because of his profession, Totai often heard people in Xiacheng say that the clergy of a certain church were using the law to collect money, but this kind of thing never happened in Leo Village, and even Miss Dai often paid out of her own pocket to fund the villagers.
She's just not good at words, and maybe she has a not-so-happy past.
Totai thought wildly and found that he had reached his destination.
Dai put her hood on and jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the city gate.
Totai looked at Dai's back, thought about it, and shouted:
"Miss Dai!"
Dai turned around suspiciously, looking at Totai.
"No matter what happened to you in the past, in Leo Village, you are our family. ”
Seeing that Dai's expression was a little strange, Totai suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly changed the topic.
"I'm going to solicit business, I'll be waiting for you here in the afternoon. ”
Dai couldn't tell what she was feeling, so she just nodded slightly and disappeared into the city gate.
There are two areas in Kotar that are particularly lively: the Angdal district, also known as Crown Street, which is located above the upper city, and the lower part of the city, Black Willow Street, which extends to the outer city.
The two are very different.
Wrapped in a long robe, Dai quickly shuttled through the streets of the outer city, where the terrain was narrow and crowded, and everywhere you could see beggars sitting or standing in rags.
The smell of sweat and excrement can be heard everywhere.
There are not many passers-by dressed like Dai, and there are all kinds of secret tricks here, and no one cares about people who dress weirdly or cover their bodies.
There are only some young thieves who may patronize this kind of person, because usually this kind of person has the nature of being invisible, so he often chooses to suffer a dumb loss, but Dai is much more special than this type of person.
Even in such a crowded street, her pace did not slow down in the slightest, the crowd unconsciously moved out of the way, and some thieves with shrewd eyes did not pay attention to her.
Across a street, there is a small, slightly less crowded square, with the fountain in the center long since dried up.
The Wild Extraordinaire calls it the Black Market, and if you know a little bit of the occult, you'll be able to blend into the Black Market and go to a hidden place, which will be the destination of Dai's trip.
After coming to the central fountain, Dai stopped for a long time, and then connected the various positions of the fountain with a very fast gesture, and after a slight click, Dai had disappeared in place, and for passers-by here, the sudden disappearance of a person would not be noticed or cared about.
Through a puppet and psychic ritual, she completed her first contact with the fallen god, which also meant that Dai would be under the attention of the fallen god, so she was ready to try the second contact and prepare for the advancement of the Extraordinary One.
It would take quite a bit of material to concoct the potions, and the Black Market was an underground trading ground for the wild and extraordinary.
Of course, it's not just for trading, but also for bounties and demands, or to pay some price in exchange for the information you need.
It is worth mentioning that Dai has a complete sequence rank because of her family relationship, while most of those wild extraordinaries only have low-level ranks.
"Give me a serving of blue honeysuckle pollen, 25 grams. ”
Dai lowered her head and stood in front of a stall, her voice a little hoarse, which was a necessary disguise, making her appear colder, which made the stall owner unnaturally lift her spirits.
"10 gold pounds, lowest price. ”
Dai nodded, the price of 10 gold pounds is indeed not low, but the actual value of 25 grams of blue silver powder is far more than 10 gold pounds, this thing sounds like the name of a plant, but it is actually a kind of second-level extraordinary creature called blue silver corolla chicken, which is partially ground into powder after death.
After waiting for a while, the stall owner deliberately lowered his voice and said:
"I want more than just gold pounds. ”
The stall owner's hand shrunk into his sleeve lightly patted the ground, an inconspicuous formation flashed slightly, and the surrounding words suddenly fell silent.
It is a simple blocking ritual that allows a particular area to be independent from outside interference.
Dai looked at the stall owner calmly, waiting for his request, and as the stall owner reached behind his back, a man dressed in a black robe and as tall as a child of six or seven years old walked out from behind the stall owner.
"That's what I'm asking for, she needs a proper place to hide, but don't worry, she's just a normal person. ”
The little man in the black robe took off his hood at the same time, it was indeed a girl of six or seven years old, her hair color was ordinary black hair with a little brown, the bridge of her nose and her small mouth were not very obvious, and she was not a Klan.
The little girl behaved very well-behaved, her eyes were not very big, but they were black and white, and there was obvious longing in her eyes when she looked at Dai.
Dai frowned slightly, and said coldly:
"No. ”
