"Take you somewhere."

Hearing Surdak talk about his bumpy experience selling salamander meat, Karl could only hold back a smile and say to him.

The city of Hylanza is quite a three-dimensional city, Surdak led the horse and followed Karl along the street, the foundations of the houses on both sides of the street are sloping, in order to keep the buildings level, each building has an independent foundation, so all the shops on this street have several layers of steps at the door, the steps are not directly facing the door, they are built against the walls of the buildings, and some shops have some canopies on the steps, the style is very different from the city of Bena.

Hearing that Surdak followed the villagers into the Paglos Mountains to hunt limestone iguanas, Karl said with great emotion: "Every year, I hear that some village lizard hunting regiments will disappear in the Paglos Mountains, although the barren land is barren, but there are often monsters in the mountains, and the knights of Highlanza City have also organized witchers to hunt those sand wolves and poison-tailed sand scorpions, scavenging vultures, but every time they enter the mountains, they have no gain, and then they want to organize this kind of action, they are all high, but no one wants to go, and every time they always end up without a problem, No one has discussed it in two years. ”

The drainage ditch on the side of the street of the city of Hylanza is covered with stone slabs, and several Hylanza women are squatting next to the ditch and washing vegetables, and the copper basin is full of green leaves, they are wearing gray and white striped dresses, gathering together to wash vegetables and chat, and it seems that they are living a very simple life.

Surdak thought that the hunt had gone well, and said to Karl:

"We also saw a pack of sand wolves this time, but those guys are very cunning, and they left silently when they saw our lizard hunting group."

Although Surdak didn't elaborate, Karl felt that the process must have been thrilling.

The sand wolves in the Paglos Mountains are notoriously difficult, and many lizard hunting groups will be stalked by sand wolves whenever they encounter them, and Karl wonders how Surdak managed to get rid of them.

But in fact, even Surdak himself didn't know, in short, the group of sand wolves at that time just left inexplicably.

Carl could only come to this conclusion: "Maybe you think that your village has a large group of lizards, and it happens to be a small wolf pack." ”

"But then again, haven't you yet divided the knight collar?" Karl asked Surdak.

Surdak coughed lightly twice: "Ahem, I'm still just a reserve knight, and I still have to study in the Knight Academy for half a year to get the graduation certificate of the Knight Academy." ”

"But you're lucky to meet a salamander this time!"

As he spoke, Karl led Surdak into a narrow alley.

Surdak led the horse and walked into the alley, but the horses could not turn back, Surdak turned his head to look at the stone houses on both sides, and could only see a glimmer of sky overhead.

"Where is this?" Surdak asked.

Karl smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice to Surdak, "An underground exchange for magical items, you can call it a black market. ”

……

A duel-shaped arched stone door was in the opening of the building on the left side of the alley, and Karl stood outside the door and knocked three times, then waited patiently.

Not long after, the door was opened from the inside, and a naked man more than two meters tall stood inside the door, staring at Karl for a moment, and then his eyes fell on Surdak, blocking the door without saying a word.

Karl said to the big man, "His name is Surdak, and I am his recommender. ”

When the big man with bulging muscles heard Karl say this, he turned sideways and moved the way to the door, and said to Surdak, "Your horse cannot enter, you can tie it to the stable, and when you come out, you can take it ......away."

To enter the black market in Highlandsa City, you need to have a sponsor and referee.

Surdak tied his horse to the stable, and then followed Karl into a building surrounded by high walls, and it was impossible to see how big the complex really was.

The light inside the building is a little dim, the ground is very flat with ashlar slabs, and it is full of stone pillars, the top of the stone pillars is a vaulted dome, dozens of stone pillars support the hall, and there are some stained glass on the skylight on the roof, which shines through the stained glass, leaving clusters of light spots on the floor.

There are not many merchants in the building, and most of the goods on display have not been seen by Surdak, but there are some magic swords and secret recurve blades placed on a stall, Surdak wants to come up and take a look, the stall owner wearing a magic robe, does not even lift his eyelids.

The 'Water Gathering' and 'Fire Gathering' magic scrolls were bundled together, and there were so many scrolls in the stall that they were piled together like firewood stacks.

There was even a shriveled and ugly head on one of the stalls, so rotten that it was impossible to tell what it was, and the magic contained in it had almost dissipated, more like an abstract work of art.

Surdak saw a stall owner selling devil's antelope skins, which were neatly arranged like mats stacked together.

Karl whispered to Surdak, "All the items sold here are magical materials, if you don't have the idea of buying them, it's best not to talk to them casually, these magicians don't have a good temper." ”

Surdak nodded, took out a piece of hard cowhide from the magic waist bag, but unfortunately it couldn't be paved flat, took out some salamander meat and pressed it on it, and also sat on the ground behind the stall, these salamander meat had been placed for almost the day, if Surdak hadn't stored them in the magic waist bag, I'm afraid they would have stinked now.

Again, the salamander meat that is laid out does not look very good, and the skin is even a little dry.

But before Surdak could sit his ass hot, he saw a magician wearing magic robes and some unkempt hair squatting in front of the stall, holding a short silver dagger and stabbing back and forth on the salamander meat, after the salamander meat was cut, the fresh meat inside was revealed, the unkempt magician sniffed deeply, and then raised his head and asked Surdak, "What kind of meat is this?" ”

"Salamander meat." Surdak replied honestly.

"No wonder there is such a strong smell of fire elemental." The magician said, then looked at the few pieces of meat on the stall and asked Surdak, "That's all there is?" ”

Surdak took out all the salamander meat in his fanny pack and piled it together and said, "That's all, about 160 pounds." ”

The magician glanced at the lizard's tail on top and asked quietly, "What do you want to exchange, gold?" Magic Crystal? ”

Hearing that the Magic Shard had been depreciating lately, Surdak replied, "Gold! ”

The magician looked at the salamander meat on the stall and said directly, "Eight." ”

Eight gold coins is equivalent to 5 silver coins per pound of salamander meat, which is exactly the price that Surdak expected.

Surdak did not hesitate to say:

"Deal."
