Chapter 27: The Night of Death

White City, Wilderness District.

The cool breeze of the night swept through like a faint trace of an invisible ghost disturbing the air as it moved, and in the clouds, the larger moon remained at home, and only the smaller moon stared at everything on the land, and the faint moonlight seeped through the sky, rendering on the roof of the Sleeping Dryad's Inn, and clinging to Kenmore's gloomy cheeks.

The wilderness area is still brightly lit and bustling with people, and of course there is a constant stream of people who come to buy goods, even twice as many as during the day. During the day, many people choose to rest at home, or get up early to work, but wait until this time to catch the "night market".

During the day, the shops sell all serious goods, but at night, whether it is hot stolen goods bought from thieves or rare treasures that have been secretly mined, whether it is supermodel heavy weapons that the Warrior's House has repeatedly stated that they cannot be circulated in the city, or highly toxic alchemy potions that the Magic Guild has banned from selling, they have all been found by the owners of various shops and displayed on the shelves.

This kind of "night market" exists in the seven major cities of the mainland, even Yaojincheng is no exception, and it is said that the "night market" of Yaojincheng is the largest among the seven major cities, and the variety of goods is also the most abundant. For this phenomenon, the imperial officials also turned a blind eye. You must know that the headquarters of the Warrior's House and the Magic Guild are built in Yaojin City, less than two kilometers away from the city! Even the pioneer of the Warrior's House and the chairman of the Magic Guild, the two bigwigs have turned a blind eye to this kind of behavior that violates the rules of their own organization, and have maintained a noncommittal or even acquiesced attitude.

Whatever the reason, these circulating in the "night market" are basically prohibited goods that cannot be seen. Although the Imperial Official, the House of Warriors and the Magic Guild did not crack down on it, but the tree is very popular, and it will inevitably attract people to talk about it if it is too blatant, attracting the official investigation of the Empire, even if it is just a gesture, it will definitely outweigh the losses!

As a result, the stock of "contraband" in the stores is limited, but the number of buyers far exceeds the number of goods. In the face of this situation of short supply, most merchants use auction means to trade, and the highest price wins, and the profit often doubles several times or even dozens of times!

However, the most profitable ones are not the owners of those shops in the city, but those mercenary merchants from all over the continent - the goods sold by these mercenaries are not contraband, but they are all treasures linked to Warcraft!

There are three areas of the continent where demonic beasts are most active: the Karalubha Desert in the west, the primeval rift forests in the east, and the black withered pine forests in the south. The Warcraft of the three places, their varieties all have different regional characteristics, and their strength is also completely different, which can be roughly divided into three danger levels, the lowest level of the Black Wilt Pine Forest, the medium level of the Karalubha Desert, and the highest level of the Rift Valley Forest.

The Mercenary Guild in Blackwater City receives dozens or hundreds of applications for the establishment and name change of mercenary groups every day, as well as the registration of personnel changes. These adventurers from all over the continent have different abilities, different races, and even have their own aspirations and goals, but they all understand the importance of unity - they form mercenary groups of different strengths, and then go to the east, west, and south of the three places where the monsters live to hunt the monsters.

Of course, Warcraft is different from ordinary beasts, mainly because they can use a variety of magic, and the difficulty of hunting naturally increases exponentially. However, monsters can be described as treasures all over their bodies, and their fur, internal organs, eyes, bones, and even excrement have all kinds of magical effects, and are deeply loved by magicians. The various parts of these monster corpses, in cities close to the three monster-rich areas, are usually not too expensive, unless they are particularly rare or high-level guys. However, if it is resold to the Central Plains, or to several other cities, the price will immediately increase several times!

The most precious thing is the soul stone in the body of the demonic beast. The reason why Warcraft are able to cast magic is precisely because of the existence of soul stones in their bodies. Although the mage can make his own soul stones, it is very difficult to make soul stones; although gems or crystals infused with magical energy can be used instead of soul stones when enchanting, the effect will be greatly reduced; even if soul stones are made, the souls of ordinary animals are too weak to even charge low-level enchantment effects, and the practice of using human souls to charge enchantment effects is expressly forbidden by the Magic Guild- If a magician is found to have violated this rule, he or she will be brought to justice if it is verified.

In this way, the production of soul stones is naturally too low to look at, but the public's demand for soul stones is increasing day by day. Fortunately, the appearance of the mercenary group has slightly alleviated the contradiction that soul stones are in short supply - not only do they have ready-made soul stones in the bodies of the demonic beasts they hunt, but also the moment the life of the demonic beasts comes to an end, their powerful souls will automatically return to the soul stones in their bodies. Therefore, the soul stones bought in the hands of mercenary merchants are all high-grade goods that have imprisoned the soul of Warcraft, and the price is much higher than other things on Warcraft.

"I don't know how that kid is doing now. Kenmore looked at the crowd below and said to himself, "Since you're here, come out quickly, what are you hiding for?"

As soon as Kenmore's words fell, Dalaniel's figure appeared from his side, and said with a smile: "If you can see through my invisibility technique, no matter how bad your strength is, you should be a high-level warrior." It seems that I'm not the only one who has hidden my strength. ”

Kenmore gently stroked the blade of the long sword in his hand, and replied without changing his face: "Each other." In order to give Michart a normal and stable life, I gave up the longsword and chose a mace that I was least good at wielding. It's been ten years since this sword left me, a whole ten years! Today, also in order to maintain the normality and stability of Mihat's life, I have picked up this long sword again. ”

"In life, there are many things that you can't help yourself, and if you want to escape, it will be in vain. Because of what is destined, you can't escape. Dalaniel paused thoughtfully, then continued, "I just went to the Shimmer House to see the three children, and although they occasionally had a little fight, they got along very well on the whole. You can see that the three little ones are very happy. ”

"I wish they could be so happy forever, though I know it's impossible. There are too many secrets in me and him...... I don't even know how long I'll last, I'm about to be overwhelmed by the burdens......" Kenmore sighed deeply, I don't know how long I had been holding these words in my heart, but where could I find someone to talk to? Who could understand his stress and anguish?

Dalanier patted Kenmore on the shoulder, as if to comfort him, but as if to say to himself: "Everyone has an ulterior secret in their heart, in fact, it is not so much a secret as a truth that cannot bear to be revealed." The cruelty of reality almost swallows your will, but the innocence and innocence of people in the cruel reality force you to swallow the pain and walk the tightrope alone. As for the truth that they can't bear to blurt out, some people choose to keep silent, and some people want to turn a blind eye, but no matter what, they are just alone and silently bearing the ......"

Before Dalanier could finish his sentence, he heard a terrible scream from a small street not far awayβ€”it was so loud that you could faintly feel the great fear and helplessness hidden in it through this terrifying decibels!

Kenmore's heart moved, and he immediately jumped from the high roof of the Sleeping Dryad's Inn, landed firmly on the ground, and quickly followed the sound, and Dalanier followed without saying a word, just turned into a violent wind and followed.

The two of them rushed to the side street where the screams came in a moment, and found that many residents had already arrived, and a few guards barely presided over the scene, trying their best to calm the commotion.

Kenmore pushed through the crowd and walked briskly through the crowd to the center of the encirclement, looking at the disgusting scene in front of him with a solemn face.
