Chapter 44: The Black Market

The priestess's limp body leaned back into her chair, and the gold disappeared from her hand. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"My lord, if you don't have the convenience at hand, I'll figure out the construction of the temple myself, and now I need a piece of land. If one day, if you want to do something to Bloody Mary, just help me build a golden statue. ”

"The Golden Statue?"

"At least 20,000 catties of gold. The priestess looked at the lord's surprised expression and became more and more disdainful.

Yes, if he had enough ambitions, how could His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Thunder Empire leave him so far away from the empire and control huge resources.

"Where are you going to build the temple?" the Lord of Stormwind was still perfunctory in his elegant voice, unaware that in the eyes of the priestess, his image had overlapped with those vulgar men with big bellies and bald heads.

Or the goddess is right, in the face of money, all men will show their true colors.

"Right by the sea next to the pier. Nominally, the whole of Cape Stormstorm is your territory, right?"

"Of course!" the Stormwind Lord was domineering, and the priestess chuckled, took out a map, and drew a circle on it.

"This is it. ”

The Lord of Stormwind swept his eyes with his eyes, the land the priestess wanted was only more than a mile away from the port, but the terrain was quite high, and there was a stone mountain behind it. In this kind of place, you can't build a port, you can't farm, it's often windy, and it's too fast to build a house. Just leave it to her, and send it away.

This female pastor has been pestering herself for more than a month, and the person who serves the gods, she doesn't want to touch. It's also sad to see her dangling in front of her all day with her chest up.

If the priestess had known what he thought, she would have been punished by a god and killed him. I'm tall, and I'm not for you to see.

"Okay, you wait for me. "The Lord of Stormwind took out a contract paperwork, brushed it up, and wrote on it the contract to give the land to the Temple of Wealth. The territory here was originally drawn by him, and before that, the Empire had never ruled Cape Stormwind.

Giving away something for nothing is not distressing, which is not the same thing as giving gold coins.

The priestess had the title deed and didn't want to stay in this study for a minute. She jumped up from her chair and said to the Lord of Stormwind with a smile, "My lord, when you want to do that, go to the temple to find me. 20,000 catties of gold, no bargaining. ”

Damn pastor, you're tempting me again.

The lord of Stormwind gave a perfunctory attitude to the priestess and asked her to be sent out of the lord's mansion quickly.

The rain outside the lord's house was much lighter, the daylight was brighter than in the study, and the priest of the goddess of wealth was running in the rain with light steps. Her golden priest's robe flew behind her, and behind the golden priest's robe, the inverted pentagram came to life.

The priestess suddenly stopped, looked down at her bare feet, the rain on the street soaked her white ankles, and the slate lines under the water were clear, lining her feet delicately lovely.

It's so pretty, she lifted her foot and stepped on the water, with a somewhat narcissistic expression on her face.

I really want to go back, but I seem to have forgotten to give him a favor? If I don't go back, the old pervert won't know what to do with his shoes.

Forget it, just take it as compensation for him.

The priestess laughed happily, and since she had compensated the lord, she had saved a holy gold coin. The spirit of the goddess's fairness is manifested, and she is so witty!

Once the land is available, all that remains is to hire people to build the temple, with a stone mountain that can be used locally, and with the assistance of divine magic, it can be completed in a few months at most.

It's time to go to the black market, and the priestess thought of this, discerning the direction and running out of the city.

The golden figure shuttled under the rain curtain, the female priest's waist twisted slightly, and the pocket on her waist made a tinkling sound, which was wonderful and abnormal.

This is the movement of gold coins, the melody of wealth.

In this beautiful voice, the figure of the priestess became faster and faster, and finally turned into a golden light, and disappeared directly under the rain curtain of Stormwind City.

Two days later, Xia He and Cotton Jack entered the black market.

Andre collects six gold coins and helps Xiahe and Cotton Jack open the floodgates of the black market. The Black Market is underground, a goblin relic from an ancient era. Every time it rains, the black market closes the floodgates so that large amounts of water don't flow in.

The gate behind him closes, and in front of him is a square.

In the ruins of the black market, there is no sky dome, and at the foot is a square, and the bronze gate behind it is towering. Looking up, at a height of more than 100 meters, there are flat rocks, extending into the distance, endlessly. The rocks glow like stars, densely packed with them, illuminating the world of ruins below.

Although Cotton Jack had come in and seen it again, he was still struck by the miracle.

"It's made by a goblin, I don't know how big it is. He explained to Xia He.

"Well, the depths are dangerous. ”

If there is no danger, then humanity will search all the places it can reach until the end of the world.

The edge of the desolate universe is chaos, the edge of the galaxy universe is nothingness, and the edge of the crystalline universe is the crystal wall. In the knowledge that Dao Gong has mastered, everything should be detectable.

"In the depths of the Black Market Ruins, there are many giant mobile chambers that are said to contain the wealth of goblins. Two hundred years ago, I heard that someone could come out, but in the last two hundred years, it is equivalent to a desperate death, anyway, I don't know of anyone who dares to go in. ”

"Where did the adventurers go?"

"Small mobile chambers, of course. "Cotton Jack is embarrassed, almost all of the time he spends with Asra is that he asks questions about magic, and he hasn't had time to explain things in this black market.

"You're worried that the captain is trapped in a small chamber?"

"It's possible that Captain her character...... It's just a lot of guts. The secret rooms all have danger level signs, as long as they are not large secret rooms, she dares to enter. ”

Xia He thought for a moment, even if he was an all-powerful druid, it would be too much to venture alone.

If you encounter an enemy in a mobile chamber and are held by the enemy, you will either die or die inside. When everyone enters, they will leave a secret mark outside the secret room. However, there are thousands of mobile chambers, and the area is as large as a large city, and it is quite difficult to find the secret chamber that the captain enters.

"Are there mercenaries here?"

"Yes, yes, the reputation is very good, but the price is several times more expensive than on the mainland. ”

Xia He nodded and said, "Let's buy something first and go around." ”

Cottonjack is not in a hurry, trying to find the captain is not something that can be done in a month or two. Searching for the captain's traces in thousands of chambers must be searched outside each chamber.

Walking in the black market, Xia River feels strange, this is a city built by goblins, which has been reduced to ruins. The black market was partially built in ruins, and most of it has been retained in its original style. There are street lamps on both sides of the street, and on the outside of the tall buildings, there are metal elevators, and the bearings make a screeching sound when they rub against the slides.

Most of the shops are on the lower three floors, so there is no need to take an elevator, and the superstructure is either occupied or used as a warehouse. This is very different from the human cities outside.

Xia He walked all the way, checked door to door, and found that the price of materials in the black market was much, much cheaper than what he knew. The things here are more than half cheaper than Iron Wall City, and if it is a low-price market in the Green Forest Continent, it should be thirty percent more expensive than here.

Black market goods do not need to pay taxes, and there is a lot of money to be made at this price.

Xia He hurriedly flipped through the catalog of materials in the Dragon and Tiger Dao Basket to see what he lacked, and then began to buy the goods in the black market one by one. If it was in the Shenzhou world, the things he needed wouldn't cost much, and more than eighty percent of them were already industrially produced.

For example, wind-ground copper, gloomy iron, and myeloid essence are all just special alloys or synthetic polymers. But the magic of this world has not yet been industrialized, and the price of these items is calculated in gold and silver.

The level of Xiahe's equipment is very low, either give up directly, or increase the level, otherwise it will soon be useless.

He started to buy according to his needs, and Cotton Jack followed Xia He, and when he saw a bargain and wanted to buy it, he was stopped by Xia He.

In the black market, the price of finished equipment is lower, and it is estimated that they are all looted at sea. Pirates robbed merchant ships, and armed ships sometimes ransacked pirate strongholds. It's no wonder that Jack is tempted, he is also a knowledgeable person.

After a long day's work, Cotton Jack found that Xia He walked to many stores, but there were very few things to buy in each store. He had doubts in his heart, Xia He's behavior was like a pirate stepping on the spot, ready to rob.

The two of them found a restaurant and had something to eat, and Cotton Jack asked Xia He.

Xia He laughed when he heard this, and he said to Cotton Jack: "If there is chaos outside, maybe we can still pick up the cheap." Don't think about robbery, it's not our turn to get rich. But you should be able to buy cheaper goods, and you'll know when the time comes. ”

"Asla, if you think about the addiction of robbery, there will be opportunities in the future. Cotton Jack was still a little unconvinced. Xia He didn't explain it either, he had traveled so many places, except for special items that had to be purchased, most of the time was spent in the catalog of enriching the Dragon and Tiger Dao Urn.

In the afternoon, Xia He went to the black market again, and when it was almost evening, he finally found good goods. A whole box of black pearls, a product cultivated in the deep sea, can only be salvaged by a powerful magical stealth ship.

This kind of magic material is to throw the shellfish that can produce black pearls in a specific sea area, and then send a magician to harvest it. Black pearls are the main material for repairing magic liquids, but because of the huge production, the price has not been too high.

Xia He bought a whole box of black pearls, but there was some mutation, Xia He is estimated that when he was in the deep sea, he was contaminated with the essence blood of some special magical beast, and the magician didn't find it when he went to harvest it, so he sold it as an ordinary black pearl.
