["I've never heard of a price increase in the black market."] 】

[Rena's shopkeeper's voice looked through the mask and said in a dull voice, "This is a rule you set privately, right? Charge extra and fill your own pockets?" 】

[The janitor doesn't care, "Love can't get in anyway."] 】

[In the end, the shopkeeper Rena still took out a gold coin and threw it over, "Find me two silver coins.] 】

[The janitor picked up the gold coin and laughed, "Didn't you say you didn't need to look for it?" 】

[Rena said in a faint voice, "Don't you have to take an inch, just a watchdog, aren't you afraid of messing with people you shouldn't mess with?" 】

【「......」】

[The janitor was silent for a moment, he took out two silver coins from his pocket and threw them casually]

[Rena took the silver coin and said to you, "Go." 】

[Traveler, you follow Rena and walk down the alley]

[Rena shopkeeper snorted coldly: "This watchdog doesn't know where the confidence comes from, if you meet some big people, they will feel uncomfortable, and it will be too late to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy at that time.] 】

[Traveler, you say, "After all, man dies for wealth, and birds die for food." 】

"That's a good thing you said." Rena agreed: "There are many people in this world who fight for some profits, well, let's not say more, the entrance to the underground black market has arrived, and when you hear a strange noise, you can close your eyes, go in and follow me, and try not to talk as much as possible." 】

[Traveler, you are standing in front of a pitch-black two-story building]

[In the dark alleyway, from other openings, some people dressed similarly to you walked in one after another]

[You observed each other for a while, but it was just an observation, and there was no idea of communication]

【Smack—】

[Suddenly, you heard a strange sound from the building in front of you, and thinking of what the shopkeeper said, you immediately closed your eyes, and then the dazzling white light lit up]

[Some people screamed, obviously blinded by the light]

【Crunch—】

[You opened your eyes and saw the door of the building slowly opening to both sides, and the inside was as bright as day]

[A man wearing a deer's head mask walks out from the inside]

[He opened his hand and made a gesture of welcome: "Welcome to the Dongze underground black market, I hope you can buy things that meet your hearts on the black market, there is only one rule here, no matter what, you can't fight, please keep your eyes open, don't buy fakes and ask our black market for compensation." 】

[Many people present laughed]

[With that, the deer-headed masked man turned his head and entered inside, and then many people poured in]

[You and Wei'er followed the shopkeeper Rena and entered the black market together]

[Inside the gate, there is a downward ramp first, after going down from the ramp to the bottom, you raise your head and look into the depths, and are surprised to find that this is a long underground street dotted with many bright and dark lights, about five meters high and more than twenty meters wide]

[It's hard to imagine how such an underground black market was built under the noses of the rulers of Winterfell]

[Traveler, do you guess it's because those in power are themselves members of the black market backstage?] 】….

[Both sides of the long street are already full of various stalls, the owners of the stalls are tightly wrapped, and all kinds of strange things that cannot be named are placed on the floor cloth]

[Under the leadership of the shopkeeper Rena, you didn't go to see those stalls, after coming out of this more than 200-meter-long stall area, you came to the depths of the long street, where there are many huts, all of which are stores with signboards]

[Many people also go straight here]

[Rena's shopkeeper pushes open the door of a cottage]

["Welcome to the 'Nothing Knows Tasting House, what do customers want to drink today?"] 】

[As soon as you enter the door, an old voice startles you, and Wei'er unconsciously grabs your arm and steps back a little

Step】

[Traveler, you look down slightly, look at the cat's little hand that is clutching you, you pretend not to know anything]

[It's rare for cats to take the initiative to contact you once]

【Ding! +5 your Happiness】

[But the cat soon found out that she was dragging you, and the girl shook her hand away as if nothing happened]

[I don't know if Wei'er's face under the mask is red]

[Note: In that case, can you say, 'Yo, you're blushing?' Let me be well. ，】

Luo Xi: "......"

This dog text is really getting better and better at playing memes.

[Traveler, you observe the layout of this tasting room]

[The area is not very large, the bar is only two meters long, and a person with an owl mask sits in the bar, but in this kind of place, you can have such a house, you can see the owner's financial resources or power]

[But didn't you say you wanted to find an informant, why did you come to this kind of place to drink?] 】

"Two glasses of ale, one glass of juice." 】

[Rena's shopkeeper speaks, sits on the high stool in front of the bar, and motions for you to sit down too]

[Traveler, you and Wei'er have sat on the high stool one after another]

【Crunch—】

[The door of the tasting room suddenly closes automatically.] 】

[Traveler, you and Wei'er thought it was a trap, and their hearts tightened, and they just wanted to come down, but the shopkeeper Rena knocked on the bar and said, "Don't be afraid." 】

[The owl masked man saw your nervousness and smiled, "Don't panic, this is the process of our tasting room, in order to protect the privacy of customers, you can't let later customers come in and listen to it, right?" 】

"Drink and juice, please wait."] 】

[The Owl Mask Man took out three cups and poured two glasses of ale and a glass of juice as Rena requested]

[Rena gives the juice to Vier, then gives you one of the glasses of ale, she fumbles with the bulge on the mask, opens the bottom half of the mask, and begins to pour it in a big gulp]

[Rena smiled: "The last time I drank it was two years ago, and the wine here is really good, and after drinking it once, it makes people fall in love with it, have you considered changing careers to open a sake brewery?" 】

[The Owl Mask Man also laughed: "The guests joked, brewing wine is just our side business, and our real purpose is to help customers answer their questions.] 】

[Traveler, you don't really want to drink, but Rena gave you wine to drink, so you can't have stage fright]....

[You look at the golden liquor in the glass, learn from the shopkeeper to turn on the switch on the mouth of the mask, frown and take two sips]

【It tastes good, it has the feeling of pineapple beer】

[You look at Wei'er, the cat looks at the yellow juice in front of her, and seems to be a little sullen]

[You ask, "What's wrong?" 】

[The cat whispered dissatisfiedly, "I can drink too."] 】

[Traveler, you think about it and put the ale in your hand in front of Vier]

[Wei'er shook her head: "I don't want to drink what you have drunk.] 】

Luo Xi: "......"

Is this also a manifestation of tsundere?

However, Wei'er's current physical condition is not good for drinking.

[The Owl Mask Man patted his hand and said with a smile, "So everyone, what do you want to know about coming to our Nothing Knowing Wine Tasting House today? It's not an old bragging, as long as the customer pays for it, then we dare to say anything." 】

"I'm almost boasting about myself."] 】

[The shopkeeper Lena's wine glass leaned down on the bar and teased, "If I told you to go and investigate the situation in the City Lord's Mansion, would you dare to go?" 】

["This ......"]

[The owl-masked man hesitated, "That's really not daring, but the news you want to ask about shouldn't be like this, right?" 】

"No, but it's not much worse."]

Rena asked in a deep voice, "What happened to the night festival of the Winter Sacred Tree three years ago? Why did the old lord disappear?" 】

[The man in the owl mask suddenly said: "Old man remembers you, you also came to ask this question two years ago, and old man warned you at that time, this matter involves a high-level blood change in Winterfell, and it is not something that ordinary people can explore." 】

[Rena chuckles, "So your know-it-all sign is a gimmick?" 】

[Owl Mask Man: "......"]

[He shook his head and said, "To be honest, it's not that the old man doesn't want to say it, but the old man really doesn't know what happened at the beginning, and if you want to know what happened that day, you have to go to the person who participated in that festival in the first place." 】

[Rena softly spits out two words: "Gimmick?" 】

[Traveler, you feel that the owl mask man seems to have jumped out of the mask of a few '╬,]

[There's nothing more mindset than being ridiculed by others for your strengths]

[His voice sank, and he said, "The old man can only tell the guests that the old man knows a person who participated in the original festival, but since that night, he has become crazy and can't speak half of his speech, you may be able to ask him.] 】

[Vile couldn't help but say "Where is he?" 】

[The owl masked man turned his head to look at Wei'er, who was a little eager in tone]

["That person is now in a sanatorium in the Third Ring District, his name is 'Kiels, he used to be a captain of the Winter Legion, but if you don't have a certain strength, don't think about entering that sanatorium, there are heavy soldiers guarding there every day."] 】

[Included items: Giles, sanatorium]

[Rena's shopkeeper asks, "Is there anything else?" 】

["Oh, it's a big risk for the old man to be willing to tell you about this, in that day's festival, there were very few people who survived, and even if most of them were almost crazy."] 】….

[The owl-masked man bowed his head, the black hole eyes stared at the three of them, and the old voice slowly spat out: "Have you ever wondered why this is? Because for those who have shuffled the high positions, this is a taboo that is not allowed to be touched." 】

["That's all, if there are other questions, then the guests just ask, if not, the guests can leave after paying the money, this time the cost is ten catties of source crystals, or 100 gold coins, no bargaining." 】

[Rena asks, "Message fidelity?" 】

["Isn't this one of those intelligence dealers on the streets, who will deceive you with false news?" 】

[The Owl Mask Man Doesn't Speak Anymore]

[Rena's body moved, she took out a transparent crystal from the bag she was carrying, her hand trembled a little, and put it on the bar]

[The owl-masked man picked up the crystal and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's refreshing enough, then the old decay will give the guests a piece of news that caused a lot of trouble in the whole city yesterday, I heard that there is a xenomorph who got a power armor from somewhere, killed a dozen guards and fled, such a vicious person, you should be careful." 】

Luo Xi: "...

[Traveler, you feel like your foot has been stepped on]

[You look down and find that it's the cat stepping on you]

[Rena looks at you, "Let's go.] 】

【Crunch—】

【The door of the hut opens automatically】

[Traveler, when you went out of the hut, some people came in impatiently]

[Is this shop so popular?] 】

[Rena lowered her voice and said, "Ten catties of source marrow crystals, it's just blackmail, if you change outside, the old lady will definitely get a sum of money back from him.] 】

[Vile asks softly, "So are we going to find a way to find someone in that sanatorium now?] 】

[Rena shook her head and said, "That sanatorium is full of retired Winter Legion, and the garrison is sufficient, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky if you want to sneak in, unless someone big is willing to take us in.] 】

[Wei'er falls silent]

[Rena comforted the girl: "It's okay, there's always a chance, at least I know that someone is still alive that day.] 】

["It's just for Sister Rena, you to break the bank."] 】

["Haha, this money is nothing, after the teacher taught me to draw scrolls, I will never be short of money again."] 】

[Rena looked at the road when she came down and said, "I'm here today, it's not bad to visit the stalls in the black market again, if you're lucky, maybe you can find a treasure, do you want to go shopping?" 】

[The cat nods, "Hmm."] 】

[Traveler, you also nod in agreement]

[So, you walk towards the stall at the exit of Long Street]

[A dazzling array of destination stalls are passing in front of your eyes one by one]

[You squat down and glance at the goods on a stall]

[Materials: Fur of the Rat Source Beast, Unrefined Source Ore ......]

Luo Xi: "......"

How can it be like a shabby street?

[Rena said: "Black market stalls are like this, you can put them for money, so the quality of the goods is uneven."] 】

[Vile suddenly stopped, she looked up somewhere]

"What's wrong?" Rena asked. 】

["I feel something familiar."] Vile said and walked over to that side.

[Traveler, you follow behind Vier, and finally come to the stall of a boss wearing a bull's head mask]

[You follow Vier's gaze]

[It was a black staff, which looked unremarkable, and was put up for sale on a stall]

[The boss smiled and said, "What do you want to buy?" 】

[Wei'er lowered her head, and her mood seemed to be a little disappointed]

"It's nothing, let's go."] 】

[Traveler, you crouched down and touched the staff]

[Suddenly, you feel your hat become extremely hot]

......

Nothing to know in the tasting room.

After receiving another group of guests, the tasting room did not open again, and the door was tightly closed.

The owl masked man at the bar takes down the mask that hangs from his face.

Amazingly, underneath the mask, instead of an old man's face drooping, it was a beautiful female face, with black eyes and willow-like eyebrows, and long gray hair that was lowered from the mask and draped over her side, reflecting the dim light of the store.

She said to herself, "It's been three years, how can anyone still think about exploring the events of that day, can't they live well? Or do they have something to do with what happened in the first place?"

"No, I'll have to look for clues about that, why are there more and more things going on in Winterfell......

It's a little better than yesterday.
