Chino wrapped up the oil painting and got up: "Let's go, get ready to get down to business." ”

Paladin bowed: "You command." ”

"Where's the salt crystals that were to be processed yesterday?" Chino asked.

Paladin quickly reacted: "It's been washed and stored, I'll take it!" ”

After a while, Paladin brought the salt crystals he had collected yesterday in a sack, and he also took two cloaks, one of which he handed to Chino.

Chino took the cloak and narrowed his eyes: "Why did you give this to me?" ”

Paladin said cleverly: "These salt crystals cannot be reported, they must be disposed of, but they are expensive, it is a pity to destroy them directly, you must want to take them to the black market and sell them." A cloak allows us to avoid unwanted gazes. ”

After hearing this, Chino looked at him with great interest, his eyes deep.

I have to say that Paladin reacted quickly, and when he saw Chino's eyes, he realized that it was not good, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm sorry, my lord, I won't figure out your intentions again..."

"You're smarter than I thought you would." Chino smiled and left a sentence.

Paladin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, put on his cloak, and led Chino towards the black market.

With a population of only 5,000, the so-called "black market" is not really a bazaar, just a dark alley flanked by creepers, littered with discarded garbage, covered with flies and some traces of human pickpocketing.

At the mouth of the alley, there are several emaciated, ragged homeless men napping, wrinkling their noses red from inflammation from time to time. You can also see some people suspected of carrying contraband walking out of the house, vigilantly observing the surrounding movements, and then taking the path to leave.

Palatin was supposed to be a regular customer here, and he was very good at it, and he woke up a homeless man and stuffed a few iron moons.

The homeless man was drowsy and muttered like a dream: "What is the most beautiful voice in life?" ”

Paladin replied in a deep voice, "It's the echo of the collision of moon coins." ”

The homeless man's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he nodded at him, motioning to follow.

Paladin was just about to follow, when he suddenly realized that Chino was not behind him.

He turned his head to see that Chino was still standing at the mouth of the alley, unable to see his expression because of the cloak.

Paladin was about to call, but he looked at it and found something blocking Chino - a puddle of sewage.

At the entrance of the alleyway, there is a puddle of sewage, mixed with rotting garbage, which is foul-smelling, and the area is not small, for Chino's height, it is difficult to cross in one step.

Recalling the scene yesterday when Chino had cut off his blood-stained cuffs, Paladin realized something, and trotted over, not in the slightest of dirt, and knelt straight into the sewage, his back arched, like a humble servant.

"Thank you." Chino stepped on Paladin's back, crossed the puddle of sewage, and walked into the alley.

Guided by the homeless man, Chino and Paladin enter a secret passage that is usually imperceptible, leading straight underground, and maneuvering left and right in the labyrinthine tunnels, where they see many open black market shops one after another.

The overall layout of these shops is very simple, and the shelves are filled with things that can be found everywhere in the grocery stores outside, such as gloves, rolling pins, scissors, etc., and the word "good people" is almost engraved on the door.

And those really good things, such as succubus tail liquid, fire bullwhip, tiger bone powder, or addictive drugs and other illegal drugs, they have a secret manifest, which is only available to regular customers or guests introduced by partners, and is never put outside.

In this way, even if a soldier can break through the labyrinthine tunnel and run here to raid it, he will not be able to catch any handles.

Shirintown has organized several clean-up of the black market before, but these cunning black marketeers have no choice but to acquiesce to their existence like other towns, and even secretly cooperate and collude.

Not to mention anything else, succubus tail liquid, which is a yang-fixing thing, is in great demand~

The homeless man walked the two of them for a while, entered a room, and said, "Regular." After saying that, he left on his own.

Inside the house, led by a thin rickety old man, grinning reveals inlaid gold teeth, which are said to have been made of a golden moon.

In Shilin Town, everyone calls him Donald.

There are two other people next to him, one is Donald's deputy, nicknamed the one-eyed dragon.

The other is a muscular fist, a big and three thick thugs, who knows that he has a murder on his back at a glance.

"Look who's coming, Paladin~" As soon as Paladin and Chino entered the house, Donald greeted him with a smile.

Paladin knows that you can't laugh with this kind of profiteer, and if you laugh, he will think that you are easy to talk to, and think of ways to kill you.

Paladin threw the bag containing the salt crystal forward, and said with a blank face, "There's something you need to deal with." ”

Donald slowly opened the bag and looked at it, the smile on his face froze, and his expression began to become gloomy.

Seeing this, the thugs walked quietly to the door, blocking their retreat.

Donald asked coldly, "Where did it come from?" ”

Paladin glared back, "Not for you to ask. ”

"Selling salt crystal is a felony, do you want to die?! I... Wait a minute. Donald pointed to Chino in his cloak, "Who is this little bit?" ”

"Shut your mouth!" Paladin nudged Donald, "Are you blind?" This is the Civil Officer! ”

Chino cooperated, lifted the cape and smiled, "Good morning, Donald." ”

Donald didn't face the awe that civil officials should have, which can also be seen how unprestigious that Chino was before.

Donald nodded thoughtfully: "Oh... I understand. You have seized the salt crystal, and if you want to exchange it for money, you will take it to me to sell the stolen goods? ”

Chino spread his hands and said with a smile: "We can negotiate a suitable price." ”

Donald walked around Chino, looking up and down without hesitation, and finally his eyes fell on the naturally upturned smiling lips, and hinted with a smile: "Now, our safety is tied together." Might as well... Let's talk about cooperation in another place? The bed in my bedroom was huge. ”

Paladin's eyes were angry, but he didn't dare to make a claim, so he could only wait for Chino to answer.

Chino said lightly: "I respect everyone's orientation and do not discriminate against people like you." But I'm sorry, I'm not doing this either. ”

Donald cut it, turned around and kicked open the salt crystal bag, and said coldly: "Take it, this thing is too hot, I can't take it." ”

Paladin looked at Chino, who nodded and said nothing.

Paladin quietly picked up the bag and left with Chino, ready to find another one.

I don't know if the failure to hook up made Donald very unhappy, he spat and muttered: "Rotten ass thing." ”

Chino stopped, turned his back to Donald, and couldn't see his expression.

After a few seconds of silence, Chino walked to the side shelf, picked up a moment, and picked up a pair of small waterproof cowhide gloves: "How much does this glove cost?" ”

"3 copper moons. Why? You came to the black market to buy gloves? Donald was a little puzzled.

Chino took out three copper moons and put them on the counter, put the waterproof cowhide gloves on the outside of the white gloves, and turned around, his amber eyes filled with a smile.
