Passing through a bar, Rhodes arrives at his destination, the Dark Alley.

The Dark Alley is a special place in Bilgewater - the items traded here are mostly contraband, even in the eyes of pirates.

If Lucian were brought here, he would destroy it as soon as possible.

But Rhodes didn't think about it for the time being—though he didn't like the place either.

Rhodes came here to get some powerful sleeping pills that kept those two little loli from coming out during the night of the soul eclipse.

According to Sarah, the drug is colorless, odorless, and has no side effects, and she once "fooled a lot of idiots with X-worms, and then mocked them for their inability."

I always feel weird......

Shaking his head, Rhodes stopped thinking nonsense, but wrapped his cloak tightly and walked into the alley.

Probably because of the war, the dark alley looks extremely deserted.

Few shops are open – and it's ten o'clock in the evening, as Sarah calls the Dark Alley.

As Rod walked slowly, he paid attention to the signs on both sides, and quickly found what he was looking for.

"Pleiades Food Additive ......"

This name really made Rod a little difficult to accept.

Pushing the door in, Rod saw the boss behind the counter at a glance - the chubby boss's dozing behavior made Rod feel an inexplicable kindness.

"Sleeping pills, powerful."

The warped counter wakes up the boss, and Rod makes his own request according to Sarah's instructions.

"Uh......" the chubby boss yawned, rubbed his eyes and looked at Rhodes in front of him, "Young man, you don't sleep well?" ”

"Who do you say is the young man?"

Rod felt a little funny, because he completely concealed his face, and deliberately spoke in a more aging voice, but the other side of the mouth was very sure that he was a young man, which aroused Rode's interest - so he showed a little of his white hair very undisciplinedly.

"Oh? Interesting, it's the first time I've seen such a serious guy with a young white head. ”

If it was just a little interesting just now, then now Rhodes is really a little surprised, he shows his white hair, but he still says that he is a young man, and even says that he is a little white, which is very strange.

"How do you know I'm young?" If you don't understand, you have to ask, after taking the medicine, Rod took out a few silver snake coins and asked, "Normal people should think I'm an old guy." ”

"Your soul told me that." The boss had a smile on his chubby face, "It's just a small trick, after all, the heart doesn't deceive." ”

Now Rod is interested.

Being able to tell from a person's soul whether they are old or not is a terrible tactic.

I didn't expect there to be such a capable person in the dark alley - is it really a master in the folk?

It seems that Rode's nature has been discovered, and the boss has also opened the conversation.

"It's just an extra effect after a trade - it looks amazing, doesn't it? But to be honest, it didn't work, and I couldn't even find out now. ”

Just now, Rod secretly raised his vigilance and released an Olympiad wisdom, and this chubby boss said that he couldn't feel Rode's soul anymore.

"It seems like this ability is limited, and it doesn't seem like your own power."

"You guessed it, I made a contract with a big guy, but he seemed to give too much - so I have this ability."

"What kind of big guy?"

"A giant frog...... Or is it a catfish? To be honest, I can't tell his breed apart, but he claims to be a demon. It seems like he hasn't talked to anyone for a long time, and the boss seems to be full of conversation, "My deal with him is that I can eat something different every day, and the price is that I need to help him look after the store - but he pays more, and I have some special abilities." ”

"Demonic ......"

Rod chewed on the word slowly.

For Valoran's people, demons are nothing more than a more terrifying existence, but for Rod, demons have a weight that goes far beyond the literal meaning.

However, it seems that Valoran's demon is not the same as Azeroth's, because according to the boss's description, the demon's name should be - Tam.

Tam Kench, or the King of the Rivers.

Obviously, the boss and Tamu made a deal, and between the two sides of the deal, one side was endless deliciousness, and the other side was forever watching the store.

And if Rod didn't guess wrong, and Tamm's extra gift to this boss didn't have a good heart, if this ability was used too much, Tamu would probably be able to take the opportunity to eat this boss.

(The trade is always fair, but the demon tends to give a little more—once you use the excess, he takes more from you, such as life and soul.) ）

But I don't know if it's because this boss hasn't used this method much, or if Tamu needs someone to watch the store, and the boss is still alive and well.

"A word of advice for you – don't use this method sparingly." Before going out, Rod reminded in a low voice, "This is for your own good." ”

The owner was clearly confused.

However, just as Rhodes was about to walk out of the dark alley, a voice stopped him in the shadows behind him.

"Friend, how about we make a deal? Anyway, you seem to have ruined a good meal for me just now. ”

"Who are you?"

"Call me king...... Call me a demon...... The river will forget the names that have been submerged—"

"Troublesome opening remarks - or I'll call you Tam anyway."

Turning around, Rod keenly caught the embarrassment on the big guy's face.
