Chapter 431: Lady Edith, Black Rose
In the town of Youbao on the northeast border of the Marigold Kingdom, Luo Sheng, who had completely changed his appearance with Transfiguration, and had become a thin middle-aged man, walked around the city that was originally responsible for guarding the invasion of the dark region, but now has developed into a trade transit point with the dark region, and walked into a tavern called 'Black Rose'.

"A glass of black mushroom wine, ask Edith if she is free, there is business coming to the door. After sitting down in the cubicle on the side of the tavern, Luo Sheng skillfully flicked a golden heavenly scale into the hostess's chest and commanded lightly.
Although this is the first time to come here in this life, Luo Sheng had been here for a short time in his previous life, and he is very familiar with this place. In his previous life, Luo Sheng used the relationship of the proprietress Edith here to get the qualification to enter the dark region. So after separating from Quinir, Luo Sheng rushed directly here.
Hearing Edith's name, the bewitching maid who was about to be obsessed with it and squeeze some tips from Luo Sheng shook slightly, and immediately took a step back, bowed slightly while putting away the golden scale, and exited the cubicle.
About a quarter of an hour later, the door of the cubicle opened, and a beautiful woman about thirty years old, with black hair and black eyes, a beautiful face, a bewitching figure, but slightly darkened skin, strode into the room shrouded in silence with a glass of black wine.
"Mr. Van Cleeff, is there anything you want me to do?" After placing the black mushroom wine from the dark region in front of Rasen, Edith, the real person in charge of the Black Rose Tavern and the 'Lady of the Black Rose' by the people in the underground black market of the town's secluded castle, sat opposite Rasheng and asked with a smile while observing Rasen's unfamiliar face.
"It's Madame Black Rose, who found out my details in such a short time. After picking up the wine glass and taking a sip of the liquor, letting the fragrance of the underground black pool mushroom spread in his mouth, Luo Sheng carefully looked at this 'old friend' who was almost no different from the impression in his previous life, and said with a smile: "The black mushroom wine is good, the authentic craftsmanship of Heitan City, if you can mix a little less water, the taste will be even more nostalgic." ”
It was not surprising that Edith was able to directly report the pseudonym she had reported when she entered the town fortress. Although the woman in front of her seems to be just a tavern proprietor, she is actually connected with the dark elves, the garrison of the Calendula Kingdom, and the underground black market, the three most powerful forces in the town's fortress, and the intelligence ability in the town's fortress is terrifying. It is almost impossible to investigate a 'normal person' like Rasson who has just entered the town fortress.
"Thank you, sir, for the compliment. Hearing what Mr. said this, it seems that he knows us very well here!" Hearing Rasen's words, Edith chuckled in response, but a terrifying gleam flashed in her eyes.
When Luo Sheng reported Edith's real name, the Black Rose Tavern had already activated the intelligence system and began to track down Luo Sheng's origin. But apart from the name that Rason reported when he entered the city, Edith didn't find any other useful information.
This is not too surprising. After all, the world is so big, and the intelligence capabilities of the Black Rose Tavern are mainly concentrated in the town of the castle, and the only ones related are the dark elves, the underground black market, and some of the three forces of the town fortress garrison. An outsider suddenly enters the town fortress, and it is normal for Edith to not be able to find out the details.
But Luo Sheng called out Edith's little-known real name with one mouth, and directly pointed out the Black Rose Tavern's biggest backer, Heitan City, which shows that Luo Sheng has an extraordinary understanding of the Black Rose Tavern and Edith. And in this case, the Black Rose Tavern, which is mainly based on business intelligence, doesn't know much about Rasen, which makes Edith very alarming.
"Madame, don't be nervous, I don't have any malicious intentions, it's just that I need to go to a dark area for a business trip, and there is no way, so I just found someone to buy some news. Luo Sheng put down his wine glass and said with a smile.
Although there are several passages connected to the surface world in the dark region, because of the hostile relationship between the dark region and the surface world, some of the main passages on the surface are heavily guarded and cannot be passed at will.
Like the passage under the town fortress at the moment, there is a town fortress established by the Calendula Kingdom on this side of the ground, which not only has a large number of garrisons, but also a gold-level peak mage and more than five gold-level masters, and in the mage tower at the core of the castle, there is a portal leading directly to the capital of the Marigold Kingdom. In the event of a major change, the Legendary Tier masters of the Calendula Kingdom can rush to support in a matter of moments.
On the dark side of the passage, there is the cobweb fortress established by Blackpool City, the seventh largest city of dark elves, which is also stationed with many masters of the dark elves, and has close ties with Blackpool City. Once a foreign enemy is detected, it can immediately mobilize the power of the Legend Tier to support.
In fact, because the smuggling trade between Zhenyoubao and Heitan City is prosperous, and some private tacit understanding has been reached between the Calendula Kingdom and Heitan City for the sake of interests, so the guarding strength of this passage of Zhenyoubao is the lowest among several passages. The guards of the other passages are stronger than those of the town fortress, and the checks are more severe, making it extremely difficult to infiltrate. Like the passage on the territory of the Western Bright Sect, it is completely controlled by the Bright Adjudicator, and other forces cannot get their hands on it at all.
And even if it is the passage of the town fortress with the least number of guards and the easiest to enter and exit, if you want to enter and exit the dark area, you also need to get the mutual permission of the forces on both sides of the passage. Otherwise, once discovered, they will immediately be regarded as enemies by both forces and strangled together.
With Luo Sheng's current strength, if he had to sneak into the dark region alone, he wouldn't be impossible. Relying on the stealth ability close to the legendary level, Luo Sheng had eight or nine points of certainty to break through the passage barrier set up by the town fortress and enter the passage. But in that case, there is a certain risk that it may attract the masters of the Calendula Kingdom and the Dark Elves to reveal their identities in advance, or cause alarm. On the other hand, if you sneak in like this, Luo Sheng has no legal identity in the dark region, and some things are not very convenient to do.
Therefore, after Luo Sheng entered the town fortress, he did not break through forcefully, but came to Edith first, wanting to buy a pass from her to enter and exit the dark region.
"Want to go to Blackpool City? One hundred thousand gold scales!" After looking at Luo Sheng again, Edith still maintained a smile on her face, but said coldly.
