The Black Market, a special trading place that is widely present in every civilization. lā

As long as civilization has a certain amount of wisdom, then evil is a stubborn disease that cannot be eradicated, which is common in the civilization of the whole universe, and evil thinking produces crime, and when the scale of crime reaches a certain level, it will naturally breed a complete industrial chain.

Especially for robbery, theft, etc., after snatching enough precious property, it is impossible to sell it in ordinary ways, so the first black market came into being, to be precise, it was a trading place specially built for criminals.

The most famous black market in the galaxy is the Lawless Lands formed by the former Elder Collectors of the Universe, where 30% of the evil transactions of the entire Galactic Civilization are carried out, and Tanlia Tivan, the collector who is in charge, has also absorbed a lot of wealth from this dark transaction, although wealth is meaningless to him.

The expeditionary legion also has a black market, and in every civilization area they pass, there are branches of the black market, but conducting dark business transactions is only part of the meaning of this black market, more because of the lost phoenix fragments, in many civilizations, because of its special energy reaction, it will be treated as holy relics or monsters, and it is difficult to obtain these fragments in normal ways.

However, if there is a trading place that can pay a satisfactory reward and ensure safety, then these holy relics and monsters are likely to fall into the hands of the legion in another form.

This has happened more than once, especially in some backward worlds that are still in the period of feudal civilization, and a well-functioning black market can do far more than just conquest.

After all, adventurers in any world do not lack the consciousness of dying for money, as well as sufficient action.

The black market in the Moubis Civilization Circle has only just been established, but with the deterrence of the Legion destroying 4 low-level civilizations in a month, its business is unusually prosperous.

The Plague Knight said that the mainstream of civilization in the Moubis civilization circle is the king of the interstellar age**, in this mode of domination, the life of civilians can not be expected to be good, and poverty is one of the most important factors that induce crime, so from the perspective of law and order, the general environment of the Moubis civilization circle is simply terrible.

In this case, a black market that claims to be all-encompassing has become a paradise for those who take risks.

Every day, bizarre interstellar pirates come from all corners of civilization, bringing their accumulated stolen goods in exchange for a payment sufficient for immediate retirement, or simply changing hands to buy enough tickets for a family to emigrate to another galaxy...

Yes, the interstellar merchants of the Human Survival Alliance have developed a complete interstellar smuggling business chain, as long as you can pay them enough, even if you want to live in heaven... You know, in the vast universe, there are many arrogant guys who call their planets "heavens", it's really not okay, find planet "sculptors", and Mr. Star-Lord, the prodigal son of the universe, can create a dream paradise for these whimsical guys.

As long as there is profit, the power that businessmen can burst out is far beyond your imagination.

In short, Brigadier General Sergei, who is in charge of the black market business with the army, has paid a large amount of commercial taxes to the Human Survival Alliance by organizing the black market trade in the past few months, and even the big people who originally hated this kind of behavior have begun to acquiesce in the existence of this kind of illegal trade.

"What are you going to do to me! Let me out!"

A young man in a tattered special spacesuit, with dark skin and strange tattoos carved on his body, but generally no different from the earthlings, held the box in his arms and shouted to the two tall evil lords standing outside the door:

"I'm not selling this anymore!

Holding a strange gun-like object in his hand, he tried to break through the gate guarded by the Evil Lord, but the embarrassed-looking young man made no attempt to show his bravery in the face of the blade that shone with magical energy and was more than half the size of his body.

He threw away his weapon in frustration and curled up in the corner of the room, his face filled with undisguised despair, as if his noble mission had been messed up by himself.

"Hey, young man, I mean, you should be able to understand me, right?"

A deep voice suddenly sounded from the darkness, startling the frustrated young man, who jerked his head and shouted in the lingua franca of the Moubis civilization:

"Who!

"Huh"

The next moment, a blue circle of light bloomed around the young man's body, and through rapid teleportation, in less than a second, this guy was sent to the living room of the Star Harbor Black Market.

Through the study of the space gems held by the overlord, the use of space technology by the earth civilization has achieved a breakthrough in just a few years, and teleportation technology has become the standard configuration of the human survival federal army system, and this thing will also be regarded as a fist product when some low-level civilizations are commercially dumped.

The young man holding the box obviously didn't have much contact with teleportation, and he was still a little dizzy in front of him, but he quickly came to his senses, and what he saw was an earth-style hall, decorated with metal and rare woods in the starry sky, and the surrounding ground was made of a special material similar to marble, which was cleaned by the cleaning robots.

As soon as this down-and-out young man stepped on it, it was a black footprint, which made him a little embarrassed and a little cringe, afraid of destroying the seemingly "luxurious" ornament in front of him.

"Don't be too inhibited, young man. ”

The door to the parlor was opened, and Sergei, dressed in a green military uniform and wearing a loose ribbon with the medal belt, walked in with the knight of war and sat down on a chair in the reception room, where they were soon served hot tea and feasts, as well as some freshly prepared food.

Sergei looked at the vigilant young man in front of him with an old spicy gaze, judging from his knowledge, this should be a smuggler from a low-level civilization, who has a feeling of admiration and fear for everything in Star Harbor, but Sergei looked at the tattered spacesuit that the young man was wearing.

Although that thing has been used many times and is on the verge of being scrapped, it is not a product of a low-level civilization no matter how you look at it, in fact, judging from some details, the technological level of this spacesuit is even higher than that of the Spartan Star Sea Empire, which is the most technologically advanced in the galactic civilization circle... It is really incomprehensible that such a combination of backward and advanced appeared in the same person.

"Eat something first, young man, you look like you need this!"

Sergei had a gentle smile on his face, and he reached out to push the food on the table to the young man, and with the help of the intercom, he transformed the voice into the lingua franca of the Moubis civilization circle, and the voice had a somewhat seductive magic effect, coupled with the aroma of the food, which made the young man's throat stir.

"It's okay, kid, no matter what happened to you before, you're safe here, and what you have in your hands is very useful to us, so don't worry about the follow-up transaction, let's eat something first!

Soon, the hungry young man grabbed the spoon and tried to put a steak into his mouth, and the next moment, his eyes lit up, and he began to eat and drink, but even so, in addition to the exaggerated eating, his hand was still clasped tightly in the box in his arms.

Obviously, that's something very important.

Sergei and the War Knight looked at each other, a small detector in the palm of the War Knight shone brightly, and he nodded to Sergei, and the latter's eyes became more and more gentle.

Once upon a time, Sergei was also a member of the Devil's Gang, working hard under Cyber, but with his baby daughter growing up, married to little Alwyn, and had a lovely child, Sergei quietly disappeared from the command of the Devil's Gang, he was no longer the bald man, but had short hair, because he was afraid that the magic surging in his body would hurt his precious grandson, so he also specially asked Cyber to take back the demon's power.

Now Sergei, after losing the support of magic energy, has become old, and his face has wrinkles, the original bravery can no longer be seen, but he lives happier than before, more fulfilling, more like the ending that an ordinary person should have, if he can, he would rather grow up with his grandson every day in the mansion of Utopia, but when he heard that the command staff of Cyber's expeditionary force was seriously insufficient, Sergei stepped forward again.

This time it was no longer the general who led the army, but appeared in the form of a logistics director, and it turned out that Sergei did a very good job, just from the interstellar black market he managed, he scooped up nearly 7 pieces of shards for Cyber, which is already a remarkable achievement.

He lived up to Cyber's trust, and in Cyber's gift, he would have plenty of time to watch his grandson grow up healthy... After fulfilling the meaning of his life, he will die peacefully... For Brigadier General Sergei, who has a lot of experience, eternal life is not worth pursuing, and holding on to the present is the most important thing.

Well, it's a bit far, but in short, in the kindness of the old Sergei step by step, the young man, who had always been vigilant, gradually relaxed, especially when the servant of the intelligent machine brought him a set of clean clothes, and after washing, he seemed to crawl out of hell again.

"My appraiser told me that the items you brought were valuable, so he sent demons to protect you without permission. ”

Sergey stretched out his hand and handed the young man a cigar of great quality, helped him light it, and then explained:

"It may frighten you, but in our civilization, demons are not very evil creatures, you see, we fight side by side with them, they are part of our system..."

"This is our hope! My name is Ayrt, and I'm the last scholar apprentice of our clan. ”

The young man, following Sergei's example, exhaled a rich puff of smoke, which relaxed his spirit again, and he stammered:

"The patriarch gave me the only usable spaceship in the clan, from the last era, so that I could come to you... He said you were hope!"

As he spoke, he placed the box on the table and opened it again, and there was a dagger that looked crudely made, and the war knight picked it up, and looked at its material carefully, the blade of the dagger had been rolled up, but he could vaguely see the meticulous craftsmanship of its completeness, from the point of view of a weapon, this thing had been completely scrapped, but the war knight cared about its core.

"Buzz"

A subtle dark green evil energy was injected into this weapon, and a certain structure implied inside was activated, and the next moment, a sharp red light blade appeared on the dagger's mutilated blade, and in that red light blade, there were energy fluctuations that the war knight was very familiar with.

"Click"

The metal dagger was crushed by the war knight's bare hands in the next moment, and in the shards of metal, he stretched out his fingers and twisted a small piece of milky crystal.

"Sure enough, it's the fragments of the phoenix that have been divided and polished..."

The War Knight snorted and stopped talking, but that was enough!

The smile on Sergei's face grew stronger, he looked at the young man and asked softly:

"So... Are there many such crystals in your people?"

"Not much!"

The young man replied honestly:

These crystals were originally our holy relics, precious treasures left over from the previous era, buried in the ruins of our world, and only the elders of various tribes were qualified to hold them, and my fathers would never take the initiative to look for them, because they were... That's, yes, that's blasphemy! Yes, we think it's blasphemy against our ancestors!"

As he spoke, the young man's fists clenched, and a light of hatred jumped out of his eyes:

"But everything changed when the demon-like armies arrived... It has been a full 0 years since those monsters killed our warriors, enslaved us, and made us step into the ruins of our ancestors to find this crystal for them! Our people have gone from 27 tribes to only 3 tribes... We've tried to resist, but we've failed every time, we're no match for those monsters!"

"A month ago, the elders heard about your existence from a merchant who was accidentally passing by, and he knew that you were also looking for this crystal, so he secretly sent me out... You are the hope!"

Without waiting for Sergei to talk about the conditions, the young man took the initiative to reveal his old bottom:

"The Elders want your army to drive out the demons and the damned War Lord! Give us back the freedom of our world in exchange... We, we would like to tell you the location of the largest ruin left by our ancestors!"

A touch of humiliation jumped in the young man's eyes, obviously, this condition should be their bottom line.

"This is a secret known only to the Great Elders, it is said that it is the tomb left behind by the King of Conquest of the last era, and in our legend, the King of Conquest loved the Sacred Crystal, he once sailed the Sky Battleship to fight among the stars, and his legions reclaimed for him unimaginable wealth and hundreds of Sacred Crystals, all of which were sealed in his tomb. ”

"Hundreds?"

Sergei's eyes narrowed, if what the young man said was true, it meant that there would be a hundred fragments on their planet... This is an astonishing fortune, and if the Overlord knew about it, he would definitely be willing to give everything to get these shards.

The phoenix is not just a utopian guest, in fact, as long as there are enough fragments, the phoenix can also become the sharpest weapon of human civilization... Sergei, who is the confidant of the overlord, is very clear about this.

"Ayrte, this news is important, if it is true, we will do whatever it takes to defend your civilization, but if you lie to us... Believe me, compared to the calamity you will suffer as a result, your enslavement is like heaven..."

"By the way, what's the name of the warlord who enslaved you?"

"I will never forget the name stained with the blood of my people! Steppenwolf!"
