Blackstone is a well-known town in the far north of the North, and the reason for this is that it is rich in ores, iron, copper, and gold veins, and of course, the most famous reason is that it has two obsidian veins, this black spar has the function of storing magical power, and in terms of value alone, it is more valuable than gold, and is loved by magicians and alchemists, and more importantly, it is priceless and extremely rare.

One can imagine how sought-after such a cornucopia town is, and now it belongs to the Marquis of the North, Raymond, and every year it can deliver a huge amount of wealth to this extremely powerful Marquis of the North.

Contrary to the value of the city, the composition of the inhabitants was almost non-existent, and the workers who excavated the veins were mostly made up of slaves, while the towns were inhabited by thieves, gangsters, and other criminals in addition to the slave and ore merchants.

Where the scum is piled up, it's always easy to attract more dross. Slave traders have commented disdainfully on why criminals keep coming to Blackstone.

In any case, this has led to a situation in which it is quite difficult to maintain law and order in the town.

Layton was haunted by this all the time, as the vice-captain of the Blackstone Patrol Guard, he was a real knight, once part of a team under the command of Marquis Raymond, but he was assigned here to protect the safety of the marquis's henchman, the big-bellied middle-aged fat man.

Pollit, Mayor of Blackstone, a piece of waste who only writhes on women except counting money, God knows how such a man became a marquis's henchman, and he was ten thousand unwilling to be his guard, Layton, but the knight's oath made him abide by his duty.

However, after coming to Blackstone Town, he realized how difficult it is to maintain law and order in the town, it is simply a paradise for criminals, there is no day when there are not some fights and brawls in the streets, everything needs to be dealt with by the patrol guards, and he is very busy.

Strange to say, in the past two or three months, the number of brawls in the town has suddenly decreased a lot, and he thought that he could finally relax for a while, but he learned a terrible news from his subordinates who had mixed in with the criminals.

A mysterious shop has appeared in the town, and it is said that the shadow of a witch is behind the shop.

Witch!

If that were the case, it would be a serious incident, and it would even be necessary to request reinforcements from the Marquis of Raymond.

This news comes from a rumor that has suddenly sprung up in Blackstone Town in the past few months.

"In the middle of the night, go to the Firefly Bar on East Street and order a cup of rye card, and someone will guide you to a store that can solve all your problems."

Layton's first reaction when he saw this rumor was a joke made up by this skilled offender when he was bored, because it looked like the kind of absurd rumor that only existed in the story, and that one store could solve all the problems?

However, considering that the shop was rumored to be having an affair with a witch, in order to ensure the safety of the town, Layton decided to see for himself what kind of shop it was.

......

"A cup of ryeka. Layton, dressed in disguise, came to the rumored Firefly Bar at night, this bar was quite shabby, even the sign outside the house was crumbling, and the customers in the bar were dressed in tatters, and after seeing this scene, Layton shook his head slightly, and felt more and more that the rumor was a made-up joke.

The waiter quickly brought the rye card to the table, Leiden picked up the wine glass and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and couldn't help frowning, although he had expected that there would definitely be no good wine in such a bar, but this rye card was really too inferior, the black temper was foamy, the smell of alcohol was pungent, I don't know which black workshop brewed the inferior product, the only advantage was about the strength and cheapness.

Layton almost pinched his nose and drank a glass of ryeka, and the moment he put it down, he was already drunk, dizzy, and the scene in front of him began to spin.

In a daze, he vaguely felt that someone had lifted him up.

I don't know how long it took for the cool liquid to pour into his throat, and it didn't take long for him to spit out the bad beer in his stomach with a wow, and finally came to his senses.

He looked at the surrounding scene, this should be the underground passage under the town, the criminals have transformed these abandoned passages into their own territory and put down roots, which is why it is difficult for Blackstone Town to completely eliminate these criminals, it is really impossible to catch people, and the ghost knows where they will go when they turn a corner and open the manhole cover.

The underground passage was dimly lit, and there was a man in the prime of life standing on his left and right, each holding a torch, and when he came to his senses, one of the men said to him: "In front of him is the House of Everything, you can go there yourself, and we will wait for you here." ”

Leiden looked a little dazed, there seemed to be a faint light of fire not far away, he took the torch handed by the man, and gradually walked forward, and it was not long before he noticed a room embedded in the wall in front of him, and two small oil lamps hung in front of the door, and in the middle was a wooden sign with the name of the hut written on it.

"Wizard's House"

He chuckled in his heart, he didn't expect the rumors to be true, this mysterious little shop was really having an affair with a witch, and it was so rampant that it directly used the taboo word wizard as the name of the store!

He took a deep breath, pushed open the door and entered, there were four torches hanging on the walls of the room, the light was much brighter than outside, and as soon as he stepped inside, he heard a voice say, "Welcome, what do you need help with?"

Layton froze, looking at the source of the voice, the man sitting behind the only table in the room.

It turned out to be a man?

Seeing that Layton didn't speak for a long time, Hodge reluctantly patted the table in front of him and said again: "Guest, you should sit on this chair in front of me, I can't hear your needs when I stand so far away." ”

When Layton came back to his senses, he cautiously approached him, pulled out the chair in front of the table and sat down, and expressed his doubts: "Isn't this the Wizard's Everything, why is it not the witch here, but you?"

A wizard is equal to a witch, and this is the logic and truth of normal people.

Hodge didn't bother to correct his opinion, and calmly explained, "You can think of me as the spokesperson for witches, and when you need a hand in your troubles, I'll naturally tell them about them, but in most cases, I can solve the problems of the guests who come here directly." ”

This means that there is not even one witch!

This fact made Layton even more chilled, and there were several witches in his jurisdiction!

But he hid his emotions well, coughed slightly, and continued to ask: "The criminals who used to come here - ahem, I mean the guests, what do they usually come here to buy?" ”

Hodge smiled slightly: "It's nothing, usually guests come here to buy some wound medicine and fatigue relief herbs, occasionally women who are engaged in some special work come here to buy some swelling and scar reduction or whitening ointment, and will also bring some medicine for their guests, basically that's all." ”

Layton had a headache, what kind of mess this was selling, shouldn't the witch's shop sell more dangerous things, like poison that could kill half of the town.

"And what about the price, what do you have to pay for these things?" he thought to himself, "The most important thing is here, let me hear what it takes to make a deal with a witch, it must be either organs or eyeballs and ears or something, it is said that witches always like to use parts of the human body in their evil experiments.

"Are you worried about the price? Don't worry about this, we charge very fairly here, if you buy medicine, you only need to pay the cost of raw materials and a small processing fee. Hodge smiled as a childish businessman.

Layton was so frightened that he didn't speak for a long time.

Is this a witch?

This should be called the Virgin.
