Chu Jing missed the royal city of Luolie Island, and after the underground ruins were over, he left Luolie Island with Lian and Xu Qian, Suze City, the main city of Baihe Island, and he was not going to miss it this time.

Momowa Island is not a country, so there is no capital, but in the most prosperous northern city circle, there is a Suzawa Castle, which is the seat of the Governor's Palace, and can also be called the political center of the Momowa Island Alliance.

Leaving the hot spring city, Chu Jing and his party began to embark on a journey to continue north, their plan was to cross Baihe Island from south to north, and then take the Blood Bone from the north of Baihe Island to another big island, Loess Island.

For this reason, Chu Jing deliberately summoned a card that had been drawn a long time ago, and went to deliver the news for the Blood Bones for Zhou Cang, who was Guan Yu and Guan Yun Chang resisting the big sword.

Zhou Cang is a black dwarf human, but it is not obvious at all on Baihe Island, which is why he deserves a permanent summoning place.

Along the way, the trade on Baihe Island was very prosperous, but it also brought some minor problems, that is, there was not enough military force to maintain law and order, and there were still many bandits and robbers on remote roads.

This indirectly increased the income of the warriors on the island, and the ordinary people did not need to travel long distances, so they naturally did not encounter bandits.

In the face of seeing the luxury of the carriage and the greedy thieves who were lured, Bai Lan was the happiest, all the time, the enemy she faced was the Sword Master, she had no ability to face it at all, and these robbers and bandits, the strongest was only the Great Sword Master, and the Sword Master disdained to do such a face-losing thing.

There are very few great swordsmen, and the great swordsmen are considered to be sea thieves at sea, and there are very few who are willing to become bandits.

Hmmm~

The sword shadow flickered, the red jade sword was like the harvesting scythe of death, ordinary bandits had no power to fight back under Bai Lan's sword, and together with several leaders of the sword master, they were also restrained by Bai Lan's exquisite swordsmanship, just Bai Lan alone, shot down more than a dozen heavily armed bandits and injured one of their arms.

Bai Lan is not a person who loves to kill, in fact, if it weren't for the enemies he encountered were all aggressive and would not die, Lian and Xu Qian would not want to kill.

It is the duty of adventurers to kill monsters, but it is not the duty of killing people, but unfortunately others do not understand this truth.

"Whew~"

Bai Lan wiped the sweat from his forehead, the martial arts fight is an extremely strenuous exercise, and it also involves the consumption of internal force, and he will be tired in a short time, unless he is a particularly strong super master, it is basically impossible to fight for days and nights.

"How's it going?

"Very good, compared to a few days ago, the swordsmanship not only relies on internal force, but also the coordination of the body, the angle of the sword, and the change of tactics to deal with, you are very good now. ”

Chu Jing gave a very pertinent evaluation, Bai Lan was naturally a lot worse than Chu Jing, who directly inherited the decades of experience of those swordsmanship masters, but compared to other swordsmen overseas, she could already abuse them.

The difference between a level is like a hundred kilograms to sixty kilograms, no matter how clever the technique is, it is difficult to defeat the opponent, like crossing two levels, the difference is as easy as an adult dealing with a few years old doll.

However, if it is of the same level, a martial artist with more exquisite swordsmanship and more combat experience is enough to face several ordinary martial artists, which is much more powerful than a group fight by a Sanda master.

"That's good, after coming out of Qianlong Island, facing the enemy, I feel so useless, I can't help anything, if only my strength could be stronger. ”

When Bai Lan said these words, Xu Qian was also very low, the enemy's strength was too strong, no, Chu Jing's strength was too strong, although Lian was usually inconspicuous, but after having sufficient alchemy materials, he could even kill the Sword Saint in seconds, compared with the two of them, Bai Lan and Xu Qian became very inconspicuous.

Chu Jing was puzzled: "How can it be? You have already done a good job, and so is Xu Qian, just because you can protect the lotus and cast spells in the back, I can rush up to deal with the enemy with peace of mind, besides, we are just traveling, and we can't even talk about adventure, where are there any enemies that you need to deal with." ”

As soon as Chu Jing said this, Xu Qian and Bai Lan reacted, the Sword Saint of Thunder Island was just an accident, and the Sea Tiger Island was just an accident, just inexplicably involved in disputes, in fact, these battles could have been avoided.

There really isn't a single enemy on the surface.

Even so, Bai Lan still practiced swordsmanship hard, every time he encountered bandits and bandits who couldn't open his eyes, he would be the first to rush forward, even Xu Qian was infected by Bai Lan's efforts, and often picked up a longbow on the road, aiming at the falling leaves, which was an internal force arrow that flew out.

Sophia is still very leisurely, she has no interest in fighting bandits, there are many disputes among the sea tribes, she attaches great importance to this idle time, the clouds in the sky that cannot be changed, the leaves falling in the wind, and the noisy birds in the flight are all the objects of her observation and attention.

Lian Ze was much calmer, she had been adrift at sea for so long, and finally came to land, she didn't have much interest in getting out of the carriage, but sat in the carriage thinking about her own affairs.

"Hey, Chu Jing, look! How is my horse?"

Sophia suddenly had a whim, she made a horse out of water, she had no legs, the fishtail could not ride a horse, and it was uncomfortable to even sit sideways, but she made a horse out of water by herself, and there was nothing to ride on the water.

"Hmm......"

Horses made of water are secondary, and they look very much like the real thing, but they are ...... Chu Jing looked at the transparent water with a fishtail swinging back and forth, and really felt ridiculous.

"You should give it to you

horses are dyed with a color, such as yellow, or green. ”

Sophia also found a problem, but how to dye the color?

Chu Jing stretched out his hand and flicked it, and the internal force shot on the ground, splashing a layer of yellow mud and falling on the water horse, and the water horse was immediately dyed with a trace of yellow.

"You...... You're going too far!"

Sophia has a habit of cleanliness, how could such a beautiful mermaid be defiled by dirty dirt.

Sophia immediately separated the water from the water horse that had been dyed yellow and turned it into a horse made of pure water.

"Okay, how about wrapping it around with leaves?" Chu Jing made another proposal.

"This ......" Sophia thought for a moment, her current appearance is indeed too shocking, and the strength of human beings is not as weak as she imagined, like the gold and silver brothers are difficult to deal with.

"Yes, so be it. ”

Sophia listened to Chu Jing's advice, and a few streams of water turned into big hands, picking fresh leaves from the trees on the side of the road, washing them with water, and then adsorbing them on the water horse, and after a while, a horse that seemed to be wrapped in leaves appeared.

Sophia has become more and more adept at controlling water, and can walk on four hooves like a real horse.

"Wow, that's amazing. ”

Even Xu Qian, who had never been on good terms with Sophia, exclaimed, and then she jumped on a unicorn horse, not wanting to stay in the carriage.

As for the longbow, it is placed in the carriage, and the two-meter-long bow is already very uncomfortable on the body, and it is even more unsuitable for horseback riding.

Bai Lan simply jumped on a unicorn and rushed ahead to clear the way for the carriage.

"What a bunch of kids. ”

Chu Jing sat in the carriage, and at this time, there were only two people left, him and Lian.

"I'm going to buy alchemy materials, and I know where to buy them in Suze City, where we're going. Lian said.

"Well, I've never met an overseas alchemist, don't they come out often?"

Lian said: "Alchemists generally serve the big nobles, or hide in the corner to study alone, it is indeed rare to be seen, even on the island where there are more alchemists, I have only seen no more than a hundred alchemists who are okay." ”

"Are there a lot of alchemists in Suzawa City?"

"Nope. Lian shook his head and said, "You should know that the best alchemy materials are taken by those rulers, and there is the largest black market overseas in Suze City, and the governor is not a ruler at all, only there can flow out what the alchemists want." ”

Chu Jing nodded, considering how many gold bricks he needed to come up with to meet the cost of the lotus.

The alchemist's battle is like modern warfare, not to consider anything else, but whether there is enough money to burn, even if it is an ordinary firecracker, tens of thousands of tons, tens of thousands of tons of bombardment, it is enough to wipe out a city.

The journey was long, because Momokawa Island was very large, and this journey was a little longer than the sea, and it took ten days to finally see Suzawa Castle.

However, this long journey is not too lonely, and it is much better to go to a new place to eat something new every day, and to live in a new place than to be bored in the cabin all the time.

"Ah, I've arrived at Suze City, and it's really the largest city here. Xu Qian looked at the big city in the distance, which was worthy of the governor's location, but it was different from other places.

"This is the territory of that old man, he won't be looking for trouble with us here, right?"

Sophia glanced towards the city gate, but found nothing unusual, let alone an ambush.

"Uh......" Chu Jing was stunned for a moment, and only then did he think of this stubble, "It should be fine, they didn't happen to come to Suze City so coincidentally, and they were bullied by a woman, can he still cry and go to his father for revenge?"

Lian comforted: "Don't worry, although there is a garrison in Suze City, but a governor can't find a reasonable reason to move at will, Baihe Island belongs to the alliance, but not to a nominal governor." ”

In any case, a few people still came to the city gate, and the water horse wrapped in Sophia's leaves immediately attracted many onlookers.

In fact, this is true everywhere, and a beautiful woman, riding a very swaggering green horse, is bound to attract a lot of attention.

"Alas......" Sophia sighed, reached out and stroked the green horse's head, and said in a low voice, "Little Green, you are my most satisfactory work, but unfortunately you can only go here, go in peace." ”

Chu Jing and the others deposited the carriage, while Sophia found a hidden place, first releasing a layer of water mist, and then scattering the water horse, leaving only a puddle of water stains and a few layers of leaves.

Entering the city gate, this place is not much different from other cities, except that the shops on both sides of the street are more luxuriously decorated, the buildings are taller and larger, and there are more rich people wearing gold and silver.

There were also many merchants who came and went, and truckloads of goods were transported in or out of the city by carts from outside the city, more often than in the port.

"This is the central city, and we need to spend some money to find out where the underground trade is. ”

The underground trade does not mean smuggled goods that violate the law, but there are many of them as well, mainly for valuable items that can be sold for something that is not normally available.

For example, all kinds of stolen goods, trafficked human beings, and the heads of living people, etc.

Ordinary people don't need and don't have the money to buy those things, but Lian has some experience and goes directly to a grain store with extremely gorgeous decorations.

Why did you choose the grain store? Because the grain went down to the beggars who wanted to eat, and up to the noble governors

All necessities are needed, and this grain store is so gorgeously decorated, at first glance, the boss is not an ordinary person, and he must also be a monopoly of the nature of the big grain merchant.

"Guest officer, this store is not retail, please go back. ”

As soon as he entered the door of the grain store, the clerk unceremoniously greeted the customer.

Lian directly threw out ten shell coins, and said coldly: "I want to see your boss, you go and spread the word." ”

Ten shell coins is a lot of money, of course, for a place like Suze City, which costs a lot of money, ten shell coins is nothing.

However, Lian only expressed an attitude, showing that she was rich and was the one who could make the grain store owner come out to meet.

"Guest...... This, this is not a rule......"

"Why don't you go, are you qualified to talk to me here?"

The clerk didn't know if these people really couldn't be offended, so he had to run to the back stupidly, and after a while, a man with a mustache trotted over.

"Haha...... Distinguished guests come and are not welcomed. Bazi Hu glanced at Lian, Chu Jing and the others, and said suspiciously, "A few of them look a little raw, they should have just come to Suze City." ”

"Yes, it's because we came to Suze City that we came to you. ”

"Oh, why is that?"

Lian casually threw out a money bag and said, "Here is a hundred shell coins, I only have one question, where can I find the 'black market'." ”

Bazi Hu was stunned, he never thought that these people came to his store to ask such a question.

A hundred shells is really not a lot for him, but a question is worth a hundred shells, which is a very fair trade for a shrewd businessman.

Bazihu picked up the money bag and weighed it, and said with a smile: "You are asking the right person this question, others don't know, I must know, this black market is not anywhere else, it is in Xicheng, the underground in the deepest alley, go there, you only need to throw a shell coin to the roadside idler, and he will naturally take you over." ”

"Xicheng, the deepest alley? Lian immediately left the grain store, quite like a noble person who was resolute and resolute.

Seeing the back of Lian and the others leaving, Bazihu lowered his head and pondered: "Who are these people, why are they looking for the black market, is there any great stolen goods that have fallen into Suze City, no, I have to inquire about it." ”

After the grain store was left by Lian and the others, it was immediately closed for business, and the mustache took off the mustache on his mouth and walked to the west of the city.

It is said that Chu Jing and the others went all the way to the west of the city, and walked for two hours before finally finding the so-called deepest alley.

In fact, it was only the idlers in this alley who got up silently and led the way in front after getting a shell coin.

"I feel cheated, and it took a hundred shells in vain to tell us such vague information. Xu Qian was very distressed about the hundred shells spent in vain.

"The black market is like this, the fewer people who know, the safer the black market, of course, like the governor as an umbrella, they must know, and they get a lot of profit from it, so they will turn a blind eye. ”

Lian seemed to be familiar with this kind of place, but it was really strange to see her looking around uncomfortably, it seemed that it was the first time she had been to this kind of place.

The idler knocked on the door of a large dilapidated house and shouted, "Brother, I came to see you with dog meat." ”

Soon, the people inside heard the code, opened the door, and immediately closed the door after Chu Jing and the five people entered.

There was only a faint candle flame inside, and the room was a little eerie.

"Here. ”

Someone opened a floor, revealing a passage down.

Chu Jing was in Heishui Street, when the old black crow was mixed up, but he had never seen this scene, and it was really the strongest of the strong, a mountain was higher than a mountain, and it was not easy to mix with the underworld.

The tunnel was not too deep or too long, and soon after passing through the passage, it was an empty underground world lit by torches everywhere.

The air underground was relatively turbid, and Sophia couldn't bear it, so she directly covered her mouth with water.

Lian's mask also seems to have the effect of filtering the air, and is completely unaffected.

Xu Qian was a little depressed, but she couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, and whispered excitedly: "It's incredible that there is such a place here." ”

Bai Lan was also stunned.

The passage into the underground is not the only one they come down, and many people can be seen coming out of all corners and starting to pick what they want from the masked vendors.

Of course, buying and selling is certainly not a fixed price, and bargaining is easy to collapse again, and it is normal for vendors and customers in the underground black market to suddenly fight and then die.

Just like now.

"Is this dagger sold for 300 shells?"

"Don't sell, a thousand shells, don't sell the eggs. ”

"Yo, do you think I don't know the goods? This is one of the stolen goods from the house of the rich man in Beicheng, if you don't take it out and buy it, I really don't know what I did this time, am I right? ”

"Three hundred shells, get out of here. ”

The masked vendor picked up the dagger, handed it to the masked customer in disgust, and suddenly the murderous machine suddenly rose, and with a blow to the wrist, the dagger flashed white, and the masked customer covered his blood-spattered throat, fell to the ground and convulsed twice, and there was no movement.

The vendor took off the customer's mask and sneered: "I thought it was who, it turned out to be the tomb robber Li San, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

This scene is often played out in the underground black market.
