The meaning of the word "underground" in the underground black market is not only the meaning of the secret that cannot see the light, but also the place where it is really underground, the underground of the city of Tormond!

The entrance to the black market is in the Tormund United Chamber of Commerce next to the Shenhui Grand Plaza, the United Chamber of Commerce is a semi-official business organization, similar to the Mercenary Guild, most of the large and small merchant caravans in Tormund City and the entire Southwest Province are its members, and their strength and financial resources are extremely strong.

After showing their VIP cards, Leon and Corinna entered the heavily guarded passageway together.

This passage into the underground is extremely long, but the floor of the passage is paved with smooth stone slabs, which is very clean and tidy, and the stone walls on both sides are painted with various exquisite paintings, which is pleasing to the eye and not boring.

The light emitted by the magic crystal wall lamps illuminates every corner of the passage, and such a lamp that does not use grease or open flame is worth dozens or even hundreds of gold coins on the market, and the strength of the United Chamber of Commerce can be seen.

Corinna tells Leon that there is more than one way to enter the underground black market, but the United Chamber of Commerce is the largest and safest.

"No matter the identity, no matter the origin, buy and sell freely, win or lose without regrets!" Taking advantage of the walk, Corinna explained the trading rules of the black market to Leon: "There are many goods in the underground black market whose origin is unknown, and the price varies greatly, although no one dares to sell fakes, but if you want to buy cheap goods, you have to rely on your own vision and experience, and returns are not allowed here." ”

"On the other hand, things that are auctioned at auctions may end up at a high price, but they are much clearer in terms of price. ”

"I don't know much about this, and I have to rely on you to take care of it, eldest sister!" Leon said with a smile.

Corinna gave him an angry look: "It seems that I owe you in my previous life, so I have to repay it today!"

Many religions on the Glorious Continent believe in past lives and afterlives, and believe in the cycle of karma, and many Bimeng beast clan believers would rather starve themselves than give all their money to the temple, which is based on this belief - hardship in this life and hope for wealth in the next life.

"By the way, there's one thing you're going to be disappointed about..."Corinna continued, "I've inquired for you, the purple crystal you want is not sold on the black market, and there is a noble collector who has a collection, but he has a high price. ”

"How tall?" asked Leon.

"One million gold coins!"

A million gold coins! Why didn't he go and grab it? Leon was speechless, what is the difference between this and just saying that he will not sell it?

On the Glorious Continent, one million gold coins is enough to support the expenses of a fully organized army for half a year, and the tax revenue of some small countries is only a few million gold coins a year, and it is impossible for a piece of purple crystal to be sold at such a sky-high price.

However, for such a result, Leon was already prepared in his heart, and he couldn't afford to buy the purple spirit crystal, and there was another way to think of it.

"Purple Soul Crystal is the most important material for constructing the Sacred Realm Teleportation Array, and it is too rare. Corinna shook her head: "But the other party's offer is really not sincere, you must know that the value of this space ring in my hand is only that." ”

Leon once thought he was rich, but compared to the really rich people such as the fox girl in front of him, he was really a rich man in the countryside.

A ring in his hand is worth a million gold coins, and it goes without saying what kind of stock there is inside.

Leon's heart suddenly moved, Corinna carried such a precious thing with her, but she usually had few guards around to protect her, and she came alone for the past two days, and she didn't seem to worry about her safety at all.

If she had any guardian power in secret, then why didn't she show up in the Twilight Hotel that day.

Or is there a secret she is hiding enough to be able to protect herself?

Leon had no intention of exploring this secret, because Corinna was genuinely treating his friend, and if she hadn't taken out the Tribute of Life scroll in time that day, she would have been a corpse.

"Corinna," Leon stopped, turned to face the fox girl, and said solemnly, "If one day, you need my help, no matter what it is, even if it costs me my life!"

Corinna was stunned, then smiled, and looked at Leon's eyes with a hint of tenderness: "I know, I will keep it in my heart." ”

After this conversation, the relationship between the two seems to have become much closer.

Corinna stopped talking, she took Leon's strong arm, rested her head lightly on his shoulder, and walked slowly forward together.

Leon suddenly hoped that this passage would never be completed.

It's just that no matter how long the passage is, there is an end, and the two of them continued to walk for about ten minutes, and the front was cheerful.

A city hidden deep underground appeared in Leon's sight.

It is said that this dungeon city was originally a goblin city, and it has existed for thousands of years, and it is impossible to verify the time of its abandonment, until it was discovered and used after the establishment of Tomund City.

Dozens of huge stone pillars are scattered in various locations of the underground space, supporting the dome hundreds of feet high, these stone pillars are dark and black, and the surface is full of mottled textures, silently telling the vicissitudes of thousands of years.

Rows of buildings stand among the stone pillars, centered on a large circular building, radiating evenly to the surrounding areas, outlining the streets and blocks.

However, there is no moon crystal above the dome, and the street lamps and the lights of the houses provide illumination, and from a distance it looks like a small city under the cover of night.

On the side of the exit of the passage, a whole row of carriages lined up neatly.

As soon as Leon and Corinna stepped out of the passage, a coachman came up to them and saluted them respectfully.

"We'll take the car to the central auction first, and now it's still a while before the official auction starts, and we can walk around the neighborhood and maybe there's something you like. ”

Leon, of course, had no objection, and the two boarded the carriage together and soon drove to the center of the city.

There were even fewer pedestrians on the road, so the carriage traveled very fast, and it didn't take long to reach the outside of the large auction hall in the center.

Leon and Corinna got out of the carriage, and Corinna rewarded the coachman with a gold coin.

This is the heart of the dungeon, and it is also the busiest and busiest area, and the shops around the big auction hall are all over the place, and it is quite popular.

The people who appeared here were basically nobles, merchants, knights and warriors, and occasionally a few gray-robed priests passed by, and the streets were so orderly that there were no wanderers, beggars and thieves everywhere in the city of Tormond.

"By the way, you can't buy the Purple Spirit Crystal now, and I've already entrusted someone else to sell those Mithril Star Sand Gold and Magic Crystals, so do you need anything else?" Corinna asked, "I'm still familiar with this place. ”

"I'd like to buy some jewelry, preferably with a water magic caste, the prettier the better!" replied Leon without hesitation.

This is one of the important reasons why he found a way to enter the underground black market, magic jewelry is a luxury item, although it is sold in the top jewelry stores in Tormond, but the price is too tricky, and it is not that regular customers can't see the best things at all.

"Do you want to give it to a girl?" Corinna laughed, "That's really going to have to be a good choice." ”

Magic jewelry is basically from the hands of the craftsmen of the human race and the elf race, and it must be completed with the participation of a mage, and the price of a good magic jewelry is quite high, but the magic effect it comes with is also attracted to dignitaries.

The magic core magic crystal inlaid on the jewelry determines the magic special surname, and those noble ladies often have a soft spot for water-based magic jewelry, because the color of the water-based magic core is beautiful, and most of them have special effects of emollient beauty.

Therefore, if a man buys water-based magic jewelry, he basically wants to give it to a woman as a gift.

Leon wanted to explain, but Corinna was already striding forward, so he had to hurry to follow.

Corinna took him to a nearby jewelry store, which had a small façade and ordinary decoration, and looked no different from the second- and third-rate small shops.

A middle-aged woman of fox descent sat behind the counter, and when Leon and Corinna entered, she was carefully stringing a pearl necklace, and the white and round beads shone with a soft and charming light.

"Miss Corinna, long time no see!"

She looked up and saw Corinna and Leon, and a warm smile immediately appeared on her face.

Corinna replied with a reserved bow, she walked to the counter and said bluntly, "I need a few pieces of water-based magic jewelry, do you have them on hand?"

The middle-aged woman's eyes rolled, revealing a bit of shrewd cunning: "Water-based magic jewelry is very sought-after, I have a piece of goods that has just been purchased here, although it has been ordered, but if it is Miss Corinna, you want..."

She turned, took out a very inconspicuous wooden box from the back shelf, and pushed it in front of Corinna.

Corinna opened the lid of the box, and a necklace immediately appeared in front of her and Leon's eyes.

This necklace is very beautiful, it is made of hundreds of small silver-white rhinestones, in the center of which is an aqua blue chicken heart crystal clear and flawless, and there are three droplet magic cores in the bottom pendant.

Whether it is the color matching or the manufacturing process, it is top-notch.

"This water blue heart comes with three miniature magic arrays, which can moisturize the skin without dust, and can also concentrate and meditate to keep a clear mind, from the hands of the master of the elf clan..."The middle-aged woman introduced: "It has a history of almost two hundred years, and it belongs to the family inheritance magic weapon. ”

"How much?" asked Leon.

The middle-aged woman smiled: "If Miss Corinna wants it, 100,000 gold coins will be sold!"

"I'll give 120,000 gold coins!"

Before Leon could answer, a loud voice suddenly came from behind.
