Chapter 0139 Black Market (2400 Supplements, Five More Subscriptions)
City of Charles.
This is one of the more famous tourist cities in Congany.
Of course, in the circle of the transcendental, even more famous is a mysterious black market in the suburbs.
Because of the familiar relationship on the road, when Sulu asked 'inadvertently', Gree happily told him the location.
When they arrive in Charles City, the two break up, with Gree going to exchange Ruth's corpse for a bonus, and Sulu coming to the Transcendent Market first.
Night.
The huge full moon in the sky shines through, and you can see it very clearly even without a horse lantern.
Sulu put on a black cloak and came to the outskirts of Charles City.
According to Gree's memories and accounts...... The black market here was originally an exploratory ruin, and it has very mysterious properties...... Merge with and withdraw from the real world, the place to enter is determined, but the place to go out is very random...... This was the basis on which the black market was founded. ”
He walked into a pub located in the basement.
"Have a beer!"
I sat down at random and beckoned the bartender to bring me a beer.
Sulu scanned his surroundings as he savored the chilly sensation of hop foam rushing through his mouth.
There weren't many people in the bar, and the atmosphere wasn't very lively, but there was a slightly oppressive atmosphere in the air, and it was clear that there were transcendents, and there were quite a few of them.
Sulu pretended not to know, and after drinking his beer, he came to the back door of the bar.
"Sir, you are not allowed here!"
The two black tower-like bodyguards clasped hands and said politely.
"I know the rules!"
Sulu smiled and threw a golden dragon.
There are many entrances to the black market, controlled by different forces, but there is one thing in common - they are all common!
As long as they can afford to pay the fee, even ordinary people can enter the black market.
Of course, there is no guarantee of safety at all.
"Please!"
The two bodyguards checked the coins and immediately got out of the way.
Sulu stepped forward and grabbed the doorknob.
Bang dang!
The iron door, which allowed only one person to pass through, opened and closed with a muffled sound.
Immediately, Sulu found himself in darkness, with only a little light in front of him.
He walked along the light, the light around him getting brighter and brighter, and before he knew it, he had come to a square shrouded in black fog on all sides.
Various stone pillars are scattered and semi-enclosed, and there are some huge stone houses in the middle, all of which have been transformed into shops.
It's not a big place, only a few square kilometers or so, but there are quite a few transcendents or customers, hundreds of people, some wandering aimlessly, others squatting in front of the stalls, and bargaining fiercely with the vendors.
"This architectural style...... It should be from the First Holy War, I don't know if it's the mage's secret realm or the wizard's witchcraft garden? Later it was abandoned and reused by waste? ”
Sulu looked at some of the broken patterns and symbols, and slowly came to a conclusion.
He arrives in the dark city center and finds a restaurant with a very natural atmosphere—vines of all kinds climb the rocks and automatically form tables and chairs.
Sulu found a rattan chair and sat down, and saw a parrot with colorful feathers flying over: "What do guests need?" ”
It has a strange tone, but it does have a conversational attitude.
"Bread, and orange juice!"
Sulu wanted to wait for someone and ordered a light meal at random.
"Table 7, bread and orange juice!"
The parrot shouted, and almost instantly, Sulu moved, and saw a vine on the rattan table in front of him, growing strongly, forming huge fruits and flowers.
In a few seconds, the flowers bloomed, revealing a piece of bread inside.
"Bread tree?"
Sulu broke it off, identified it with the ability of the [Occultist], and found that it was a plant similar to a bread tree, so he tasted it: "Not bad...... Buttery flavored! ”
Following the example of other customers, they squeezed the trumpet-shaped fruit vigorously, and a piece of orange juice flowed into the cup, carrying a fragrant smell.
"It's amazing...... A transcendent who controls plants? Druid: The road? ”
Sulu thought to himself, didn't say anything more, and threw a few coins to the parrot.
"Thanks for the tip! Thanks for the tip! ”
The parrot grabbed the coin and flew away happily.
Sulu was enjoying dinner, listening to the news around him.
It was discovered that the tragedy in Rannia City and the terrorist attack on Fort Green Tree were still hot.
After all, the casualties in Nia City are too heavy, and Fort Greentree National Laboratory, as the top university in the Federation and an important institution in the occult world, was attacked and suffered heavy casualties, which is also eye-catching.
"Forget about Nia City, even Fort Greentree has been attacked!"
At a table around them, the two transcendents who were drinking were all exclaiming: "It is said that at that time, a legendary figure above the fourth order was dispatched, and even the city of Green Tree Castle was affected in the big battle...... Alas, has the transcendent tide come to this? ”
For them, above the fourth order, it is really a myth and legend.
"It's not a good thing for us that the Federation is hit like this!" A white young man lamented: "It is said that ...... The Federation also wants to announce the existence of transcendentals, and some lawmakers have proposed a bill to register professionals! ”
"Isn't that a mess of the world?"
Another drunkard immediately retorted.
"No...... It is to take advantage of the fact that our country does not have much baggage and develop extraordinary power as soon as possible! ”
"Can Congress agree?"
"It's impossible to think about it, it's said that the congressmen on Capitol Hill have quarreled several times......"
The transcendent who said the last sentence had an undisguised mockery on his face.
Obviously, they also know that these politicians are just a façade.
The real control of the Federation is the conglomerates, the churches, and the vast alliance of occult abilities that have been passed down for hundreds of years.
"Now that the transcendent dawn has come...... There are a lot of habits that need to be changed......"
Sulu drank orange juice and listened thoughtfully to the discussions of the drinkers.
The disclosure of extraordinary information is of course beneficial to ordinary people, and may even give rise to a large number of civilian professionals.
But there may not be no taboos.
Moreover, are those big forces and big conglomerates really willing to share their extraordinary power with ordinary people?
'Do you want the ruler to automatically give up his privileges?' It's a dream, isn't it? ’
Su Lu estimated that if he was the manipulator of a big conglomerate, what he would choose, it was really hard to say.
But one thing is certain, that is, even if the Federation is sent to hell, it must protect its own interests!
"Besides...... Is it really good that the transcendent power is popular? ”
Sulu thought of the demon.
If more people knew about His existence and name, the world might slide into the abyss.
There are too many dangers in the transcendent side.
Therefore, a certain information blockade is still necessary.
