Chapter 1662: Staggered Meeting (17)

In just a moment, Palamides, who had crossed the barrier of optical camouflage, immediately saw a completely different landscape on the street. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cairo's black market is as bustling as ever. The night has fallen, and the lights are everywhere, so gorgeous.

After a hard day's work, the merchants had just finished dinner and had enough electricity to start selling again. One after another, the shouts filled this illegal black market, which was supposed to be operated secretly, with wonderful vitality.

The black market is bustling with people, and the speculators and buyers who buy and sell here are busy picking up goods from various shops. For these people, as long as they know the doorway, the garbage here can be turned into a treasure. It is precisely because of the stimulus of huge profits that greedy people will laugh at the forbidden fruit of sin in this illegal pure land, right?

It's really the most peculiar market in the world.

The shops here are just ordinary markets if they are all the usual goods in the market.

However, Palamedis did see that the countless stalls in the black market were filled with all kinds of goods that seemed to be illegal------

all kinds of high-power weapons of destruction;

various equipment and vehicles of unknown origin;

A variety of rare minerals and materials that should have been taxed to African governments at the same time as they were obtained.

If the Egyptian government sends an army to seal it down, it is estimated that every shop here may be sealed. Yet this magical black market has survived in this form in the center of Cairo, in the capital of Egypt, and it is estimated that it has survived for a long time, and the Egyptian government has not even taken care of it. There must be a huge force behind this black market, supporting its operation, right?

Let's not talk about that. The most important thing now is to find the despicable villain of the poison master Beite, who has no faith and no righteousness, and beat him up------Oh no, get the Eternal Gunir.

"Can you pinpoint the location of Beit in this crowd?" asked Rosetta at Palamides. In his opinion, finding a person in such a crowded place with just one footstep is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. But Rosetta is a dark elf, and her bloodline is estimated to be very pure, and her photon hearing is so powerful that it is beyond imagination, maybe there is a way to do it.

"I can start looking, but I'll have to find a safe place to hide before I can do it. When I was engrossed in using photon hearing, I was completely flawed, and I was attacked by the enemy, and I guess I would die a terrible death. And I can tell you unambiguously that there are more people in Africa who want to kill me than you have cat hair on you. You have to protect me. ＂

"Okay. Palamides pointed to the café next to him, "Let's search there." ＂

"Good. Rosetta smiled and walked to the café, "Why did you suddenly have the feeling of dating you again?"

"If dating you can help me retrieve my Eternal Gunir, I'll do as many times as I want. The big cat quipped.

The Jewel Queen gave the big cat a blank look and walked into the café.

However, it has to be said that Palamides chose this venue as a safe place and was indeed extremely clever. This café is a public place, even if there are killers who want to snipe Rosetta, they will never dare to do too much in this kind of place, but although this café is crowded, it is not so many as to be mixed, and most of the people who stay here are the type who eat quietly, sit in their places and drink coffee and surf the Internet, and will not wander around. This kind of public place where everything is in order is the most difficult place for killers to find an opportunity to do it. And the corner of this café, which is neither too big nor too small, is still empty, and the seats there are far from the window, surrounded on three sides by solid walls, giving it a very safe feeling. Palamides took one of the most convenient seats to defend and sat down, beckoning Rosetta to come over with a slight smugness.

"Fantastic venue. The Queen of Jewels sat down and exclaimed, "Now, would you like to order me some coffee and dessert?"

"Do you still have the heart to eat?" said the big cat jokingly.

The Jewel Queen smiled wryly, "I have to at least pretend." Otherwise, I would be too conspicuous to concentrate on the action of photon hearing. ＂

When Palamides and Rosetta were "dating" before, the big cat may not have really understood the situation of the Queen of Jewels. But now, Rosetta was so cautious everywhere she went that Palamides finally realized that the Queen of Jewels had been living in the shadow of assassination since a long time ago.

In normal times, if Rosetta could use her photon hearing to be on guard, her enemies might not be able to sneak up on her so easily. But now, once she began to use her hearing intently, recognizing every footstep in this Cairo black market, she would be in a state of complete defenselessness. In this state, Rosetta can't protect herself, even if a small projectile is shot from a distance, it can kill her.

However, the Jewel Queen risked her life without additional bodyguards to help Palamides find someone by using her photon hearing. She would do this out of absolute trust in the Leopard Warrior, believing that he would protect her if she was unable to protect herself.

Thinking about this, Palamides couldn't help but feel quite honored, but also felt a huge pressure.

They ordered some random food and drink, and when the waiter brought the food and drinks, Rosetta glanced at the big cat and said that it was time to start.

Palamides swallowed and nodded. From his angle, he could just use his back to obscure the view from the window at the other end of the café in the distance. In this way, even if someone is hiding on a building in the extreme distance and intends to snipe Rosetta with a weapon such as a sniper rifle, the trajectory will inevitably overlap with Palamides's body, and the big cat will be able to perceive that he is about to be attacked.

Once everything was ready and everything was safe, Rosetta smiled nonchalantly, took a sip of coffee, and closed her eyes.

To others, it was just a young couple enjoying the tranquility of the evening in a café, while the lady was just a little sleepy, took a sip of coffee and began to close her eyes and recuperate. However, no one but the person involved would know that Rosetta was already engrossed in using her photon hearing, listening carefully to everyone's footsteps throughout the entire Cairo Black Market.

As long as it is a human being, or as long as it is a creature that walks on two legs, there must be a difference in height, shortness, fat and thinness, there will be a preference for wearing shoes, there will be a unique walking rhythm, and even there will be hidden diseases of the steps that even these people themselves do not know. These small differences were insignificant and almost indistinguishable to normal people, but Rosetta, as a dark elf, could distinguish them clearly. What's more, Poison Potion Beit had tried to assassinate Rosetta several times, and the Queen of Jewels knew the dangerous assassin's footsteps so well that she could hear them as long as Beite was walking within her reach.

Of course, despite Rosetta's sense of hearing, it can still be time-consuming to find a distinctive footstep among tens of thousands of footsteps. In the auditory world of the Jewel Queen, every second, countless footsteps exploded like raindrops, causing countless reverberations. She can listen to the footsteps of thousands of people every second and sift through them, but not very efficiently------ for the countless crowds that walk through Cairo's black market.

After about ten seconds, Rosetta suddenly let out a long sigh, "Beit may not be here. ＂

"What? But ------," said the Jewel Queen, the big cat was stunned.

"It's all uncertain. Either because Beite wasn't moving around at all, or because he wasn't in the black market at all, and was taking your Eternal Gunir somewhere else to buy and sell. Rosetta looked disappointed and said, "Anyway, it's not good." If Beite does sell your gun, we'll not only lose that magic weapon, we'll lose it forever...... ＂

She looked at her surroundings with a slight wariness: "That thing. ＂

She didn't say the word "Heart of Africa" in public because she was afraid that the wall would have ears. Even though the corner of the café they were in was empty, it was impossible for anyone else to hear the conversation between her and Palamides.

"Hmph...... Palamides was a little anxious: "Is there no other way to find Beit than to listen to the sound of footsteps?"

Rosetta shook her head: "Heart sounds are much more complex than footsteps, and they do better identify a person's location, and the other person doesn't need to move to discern their heart sounds." However, it is difficult to perform such complex phonetic recognition among tens of thousands of people------ it takes a lot of time to sift through it. ＂

And time is what they lack the most at the moment. If you can't stop Beit before he sells Eternal Gunir, it's all over.

"No way, it's beyond my capabilities. Let's go ask for help from a professional. Rosetta quickly finished her coffee and stood up.

"Uh, what do you mean by ......?" asked the big cat, frowning.

"Fortune teller, of course. Rosetta said unemotionally: "In Africa, there is only one soothsayer who can accurately indicate the location of a person or object using divination. Luckily, she lives near this Cairo black market, and it may be too late to rush to find her. ＂

"Divination...... Palamides said he was skeptical.

Big Cat wasn't much of a scientist, he wasn't even a well-educated intellectual, and to put it bluntly, he was just a blind and reckless man. But in this way, he is still quite repulsive to superstitious things like divination.

------ divination? That's obviously unfounded pseudoscience.

In the sixth century A.D., in an era when science was so great that even the gods would be despised and ignored, would anyone believe in such a ghostly thing as divination?
