A day later.

As if to prove that the Violet Kingdom's largest harbour city is far more prosperous than the countryside in other regions, Hurenger's nights do not feel dark at all, but rather make people think that the streets here are sleepless and always full of squandering energy.

The top of the lighthouse towering in front of the docks in the port area is like a man-made corona illuminating the bay lanes, and the glow of candles and magic crystals banishes most of the city's night - but even so, as the principle of light and shadow coexists, if an area is ruled by a lord with a positive image, the places that do not shine are usually filled with forces active in the shadows.

For example, somewhere unknown to the priests of Tiamagos Cathedral in Hurengel, an auction convention planned and manipulated by black market merchants is preparing to be rolled up for the official opening.

Everything is just waiting for the rich people with gold coins and greed to arrive as scheduled.

Camusa stood in a dimly lit alleyway, her figure obscured by the shadow of the stone wall, the dark elf angel's dark complexion and her superb concealment skills made her seem to blend into the background behind her.

A day earlier, the dark elf girl had traveled all the way from the Duchy of Grey Pine to find a gang in the Hurenger Harbor District following the clues she had gathered.

On the surface, the gang organization seems to be a bad group of gangsters, but in fact it is controlled by black market merchants - you know, the illegal trade between a group of black market merchants is hardly recognized by any serious national law, and for the safety of underground transactions, these smart people whose hands are never too clean naturally need a lot of eyeliner infiltrating the streets and alleys to provide them with well-informed information at all times. This ensures that they will not be sent into the dungeon by the security guards who came out of nowhere before even their fanny bags are drummed with coins.

Camussa broke into a meeting place of the gang in the port area, and after revealing her intentions, she showed her strength to the person in charge there, thus securing a more lucrative job for herself.

The job was passed down from the top members of the Hurenger Black Market Chamber of Commerce to the gangsters who were entrenched in the city's neighborhoods, and the elite of them were to act as guards at the auction venue to ensure that the auction went smoothly, and until then to welcome the guests who had accepted the invitation to come and bid on the goods.

Camusha's current job is to meet with a few guests who have been introduced by the Brotherhood at the joint location where she is at this time, and then bring them into the auction room.

After about six minutes, the dark elf girl with a second-order thief class narrowed her eyes slightly. The dark elves' acumen and her own superior sensibilities led her to notice that several people were approaching from a short distance away.

After thinking about the current situation for a while, she chose to use the two skills in succession first, hiding herself in the dark environment, and then calmly observing the four figures who were walking in front of her step by step.

She soon discovers that the four-man ensemble consists of three young human males and a blonde-haired female elf.

Shifting from the Dark Elf Maiden to the other side, Arroyo was walking ahead of Finn, Raymond, and Arya, bringing the three companions behind her.

"My lord, the joint is here, I think we've arrived." The young thief stopped about two or three meters in front of the wall where Camusa was, and then turned around and reported to the young paladin behind him.

"But there's not even a single figure in sight...... Except for ourselves. Raymond frowned and looked around, his calloused hand quietly resting on the hilt of the sword on the side of his waist, a gesture that showed that he was not at ease with his surroundings.

Ever since he followed Arroyo into the dimly lit alley, the young swordsman had felt as if a pair of invisible eyes had been staring at you and you couldn't see the other.

Of course, in addition to Raymond, Finn, Arya, and Arroyo also vaguely have similar feelings, but they don't say it explicitly.

"May Manning visit us." In the middle of the night, Finn blinked, then opened his mouth to say the same prayer line to the wall in front of him.

Manning, the god of wealth, was a god believed in by merchants. Arroyo told him that the prayer was a code used by the black marketeers to connect, in other words, if Finn's party had not come to the wrong place, the person who had come to meet them would soon have the next code and appear before them.

Sure enough—

"The God of Wealth hears our prayers." In the next second, a young female voice came into everyone's ears from the dark shadow under the stone wall.

The Dark Elf Maiden took the initiative to disarm and two skills. Her body, wrapped in a gray cloth cloak and brown light leather armor, emerged from the dark shadows, and her action surprised both Raymond and Arya, and subconsciously clenched the weapon at her waist in an alert response to her presence.

"Wait, Raymond, Arya, she's not an enemy." Seeing that the reaction of the swordsman youth and the elven girl seemed to be too impulsive, Arroyo hurriedly spoke up to stop the two companions behind him.

Raymond and Arya glanced sideways, then saw Finn turn and wave at the two of them before staring into Camussa's eyes before slowly removing their hands from the curved sword and scimitar at their waists.

Camusa calmly looked at the four people in front of her, her personality had been cultivated very calmly in the training of the Grey Fir Squire day after day, so she didn't care too much about Raymond and Arya's disrespectful behavior towards her just now - if she had to find out what made her unhappy from this little episode just now, then that place was only that she thought that her mastery and understanding of the advanced professional ability of the Shadow Squire, a thief, was far from enough, because her presence made the people in front of her feel more or less threatened, This shows that she can't completely hide all the killing intent on her body.

After raising his hand to signal Arya and Raymond to disarm, Finn also shifted his gaze to the dark elf girl in front of him.

During the day, he took time out to visit Hurenger's academic association, and advanced his basic profession with the help of a scholar's recommendation letter signed for him by the wizarding boss named Merkdy in Dawnwind.

Players who are Inaugural Scholars will be rewarded with 3 additional Proof Points when they earn this advanced base class. In the game world of Finn's previous life, players who are employed as scholars will usually draw one of these 3 additional specialization points to point out the professional specialization of the scholar class

【Vocational Expertise (Academic) - Polymath: Allows cross-vocational learning of 3 skills or specialties】

Like those players in his previous life, Finn paid one of the 3 additional prominence points for this flexible pro after acquiring the advanced basic class of Scholar, and then went to a hunter's guild in the city and spent another 1 pro point to learn this non-Paladin class from an old hunter with a pro.

[Class Feats (Ranger) - Beginner Insight: +10% chance to spot nearby stealth or hidden units, allowing you to see the character attributes of any target unit in the field of vision (the level of detail of the information is affected by the level difference between the two characters)]

With the help of this foreign specialty, although Finn could not tell her specific character attributes from Camus, he could know that the total level of this dark elf girl was at least 5 levels higher than his current level, and she had a second-order class of the thief class.

Finn's ability to conceal was better than that of a second-order class who was also a thief, so after learning that the person standing in front of him was a shadow squire, he didn't feel any strange that he hadn't discovered the other party at all.

"We are invited here by you." Finn adjusted the expression on his face and showed a friendly smile from Camus, "This is our invitation. ”

As he spoke, he took out a paper invitation from his coat pocket and handed it to the dark elf girl in front of him.

Camussa took the invitation with a crease from the young paladin's hand.

The head of the gang in Minato taught her how to recognize the badges that the black marketeers used to communicate with each other when she was given her a job. After taking a closer look at a heraldic pattern in the corner of the paper, she folded the invitation again, then looked up and said to Finn, "Welcome to the auction of the underground black market. Please come with me. ”
