Elise walked ahead, and I quietly lowered my head slightly, following her steps.

"Hey."

Elise turned her head and shouted at me.

"What's wrong?" I looked up and answered.

"I think you seem to care about the woman just now?" Elise said bluntly, "When I came to ask you to leave, I seemed to see reluctance in your eyes. ”

"It's fine." I smiled and shook my head, "It's not a big deal, I'm just lamenting what happened to these girls, and I have to be silent about someone I know died on the battlefield." ”

"Hmph......" Elise didn't seem to have any problem with my behavior, just snorted lightly and turned her head away.

The two of us walked a noisy road without saying a word to each other.

"Alright." She stretched out her hand and pointed ahead, "That's the information store I just found, there were a few people here when I came here just now, and now they all seem to be gone." ”

"Understood." I nodded, and walked in the direction she was pointing.

It was a hut that was extremely rare even in the underground black market.

Because in this black market, where merchants do business, they either set up random stalls or spread cloth directly on the ground, and it is the first time I have seen a place where a hut has been built like this, except for the site that is managed.

"Hmm......"

I gradually approached the hut, and there was a wooden sign hanging on the door of the house, which looked like the archives of Camp Manyo.

[Everything can be clearly priced]

This is the text written on the sign on the hut.

It can be seen that this shopkeeper seems to have a bit of personality.

"Have you seen it in there?" I pointed to the inside of the small wooden door and asked Elise.

"Ah, not really." Elise shook her head and replied, "Because the few people standing at the door of this room have left without going in, no one has opened the door for me." ”

"Poof." I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It's the first time I've heard her say such a sincere thing.

"But since you haven't been in, how did you know this is an intelligence shop?" I asked, looking into Elise's eyes.

"Huh?" Elise pointed to the wooden door, "Because that's what the three people standing here said before, what did they say...... Next time, don't come here to buy information, and if there is anything like "special pit". ”

Never again next time...... Special pit......

"And you're still letting me come here?" I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You're trying to trap me in, aren't you?" Obviously, passers-by have said that there is a pit here. ”

"Eh......" Elise looked like she wanted to defend herself, "but it seems to be very reliable here, and, besides, you've heard the story of the pony crossing the river, I don't think it's good to say it just by hearsay." ”

"Regardless of the fact that this is an intelligence store, you are hearsay, and besides, it is me who needs to test the crossing of the river, not you." The corners of my mouth twitched, and I didn't know what to say.

"But forget it." I waved my hand, "If you come here, you will be safe, since you have said so, then I will go in and have a look, anyway, this is an underground black market now, there should be many good intelligence stores, it's a big deal that I will try them one by one." ”

So, I knocked straight at the door.

"Come in." However, before I could say anything, a voice came from inside.

The voice sounded very young, but it also had a sense of stability, which made me a little confused about what kind of person it was.

But no matter what kind of character it is, those who can build their own houses in this underground black market must not be a weak character.

"That's rude."

After saying hello, I gently opened the small wooden door in front of me and walked straight inside.

……

It's light, and it's a very bright light.

Unexpectedly, the lights in this room were unexpectedly bright, and it was completely different from the black market atmosphere outside.

How to put it, it gives people a very reassuring sense of simplicity.

In the center of the room there was a square table, and behind it, a young man sit.

"Hello." When he saw me come in, he sat down in his chair and greeted me, "If you need tea or anything, please do it yourself, I have all the ingredients here." ”

"That...... Is this an information shop? "After seeing the surrounding scene and the bright lights in the room, as well as the young man sitting in the chair, I suddenly couldn't believe Elise's judgment before.

"This is, of course, an intelligence shop." The young man laughed, "Could it be that you can find a place in this underground world that is more suitable for the intelligence shop than mine?" ”

"But...... It's really ...... here" I still can't help but want to complain.

"Hey, if you have any questions, why don't you sit down and talk about it first." He gestured to the chair across the table from him and motioned for me to sit down, "I know what you're trying to say, you don't think I'm doing this kind of thing here, do you?" ”

"Yes." I replied as I walked slowly to the chair.

"But have you ever wondered what kind of place this is?" The young man leaned out, "This is the black market, the place where everything is legal!" All the exterior decorations are just appearances! If you want to find what you're looking for, you'll have to clear the clouds to see what's inside, or you'll end up disappointed. ”

"So what do you mean...... Let me not just focus on the surface? I sat down suspiciously and looked at the shopkeeper across the table.

"Nope! I mean, would you like a piece of chocolate? ”

The shopkeeper held out his right hand to me, and between his index finger and thumb, he pinched a piece of chocolate wrapped in gold leaf.

What is this......

"Uh, okay." But I can only take the chocolate from his hand, after all, in someone else's realm, I still have to be polite.

"Oh, chocolate is so good, isn't it?" He smiled awkwardly at me, "Rather, it's a blessing to be able to eat a piece of chocolate in this dark, damp, underground illegal trading center, don't you think?" ”

As he spoke, he took a small black chocolate ball out of his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I can probably understand why the previous few people are leaving." Looking at Elise beside me, I sighed silently in my heart, "They're right, it's probably really a pit here." ”

At least, in a normal store, I wouldn't be incomprehensible to what the owner was saying to me.
