Early in the morning, a group of five people quietly left the barracks. Locke, Kane, Hans, Gulas, and Kirby went in the opposite direction of the troops.

It's late autumn, and whether it's Faustin or Charlotte, autumn and winter are always cold, and summer is unbearably hot. So at present the marching time of the army is from noon to evening.

Fortunately, the two barons had decided to do their best to hurry, and it would take less than two days to reach the city of Bimore, where the headquarters of the Corps was located.

This time, Locke took advantage of the fact that the troops were not marching in the morning, and did a business with Kirby in a Charlot city that they had passed through before he went.

Wallier, a small city that once had 2,000 inhabitants, has no other features, the only peculiarity is that the walls of the city are comparable to those of medium-sized cities, almost 10 meters long.

It is said that the previous lord of the city, Baron Abic, built it with all his might. This used to be a lot of jokes among the local nobles of Charlotte. It's just a small city, why are the walls so high?

At this time, the nobles who had laughed at Baron Abic were now remorseful as to why they hadn't thought about repairing the city walls in the first place. It is precisely because of this nearly 10-meter-high city wall that the Charlottes in the city are temporarily protected from war.

It is for this reason that the city of Warlier became a port of refuge for the wealthy merchants and wealthy people of the nearby Charlot, and also became a place for the Charlot refugees.

The Locke's destination was Wallier City.

Locke did not come to Wallier City this time to kill and rob, but to trade. It was true that a few smugglers and resellers had been caught in that town before, but their goods were all ordinary grain and Charlotte's coins, which were not worth a few dollars, and Kirby, who knew that he was hopeless, made an opinion and went to Warlier City to attend the trade fair there.

Every city has a group of merchants who live in the dark, some of them are robbers, some are smugglers, some are gangsters, and here you can buy things that cannot be bought in the market, but the price will be a bit expensive. This is the black market.

Kirby had worked in the black market before, and there was a black market in Frans City when it was once prosperous, and after Faustin's army broke the city, the black market also disappeared. Kirby knew very well what kind of huge financial and material resources this group of merchants in the dark had, and this time he instigated Locke to bring people here, not to buy things, but to sell things.

"Charlotte is coming to an end, and now those who have insight know it in their hearts. Kirby walked in the middle of a group of people and talked eloquently, and Locke and the others ignored him, "Dele is hard currency now, and those black marketeers will definitely eat it regardless of the cost." ”

This is Kirby's suggestion, use Dele to exchange Charlotte's coins, in the Forstein caravan, Dele's exchange ratio to coins is 2:1, but in Charlotte 5:1 there are also people to exchange, this is the way to make a fortune.

This time, Locke not only exchanged the income from the town he had just "swept" for Delle, but also borrowed a large sum of money from Uncle Joshak, a full 400 silver Delle, and Hans and Gulas's backs were bulging.

For this deal, Locke thought it was feasible after thinking about it, but for the sake of conservatism, he brought three of his right-hand men. Not to mention whether there is anyone in the black market who can stop Locke, even Hans and the others have no problem dealing with ordinary gangsters and fighting seven or eight at a time.

Several people did not delay time, and after coming out of the barracks, they hurried to the city of Wallier, and the frost of the early morning had not yet faded, and several people had already arrived outside the city of Wallier.

The difference between the city of Volille and the city of Frans is not very large, the only thing that is noticeable is that the walls are several meters high. However, no matter how high the slightly dilapidated city wall is, this city is also vulnerable in the eyes of Locke and others.

There were a few guards standing on the city wall, and a large stone pit on the west wall was so abrupt. That was the warning given to them by the magicians of the Baron of Kashr yesterday as their troops passed through the city.

The stone pit gave the Charlottes endless fear and worry, and also gave confidence to Locke and his party.

There were already a lot of people gathered outside the city gates, all refugees who were going to enter the city. However, it may be that the pressure caused by the army that did not go far yesterday was too great, and the city gate, which was usually allowed to pass, was only opened with a small crack at this time.

Although it was still early at this time, Locke and his party had already lined up dozens of meters away, and at this turtle speed, let alone rushing back before noon, it would be good to be able to enter the city.

Locke frowned, glanced at Kirby, Kirby straightened his chest and promised, "Look at me!" With that, Kirby strode to the entrance of the city gate, exchanged a few words with the soldiers guarding the gate, and covertly used his left hand to scratch the pants pocket of one of the soldiers guarding the city, the soldier felt that his pocket was a lot heavier, and gave his colleagues around him a look, so he patted Kirby's shoulder, and it was done.

Kirby beckoned to Locke and the others, who were still in line, and several people walked to the city gate. The surrounding refugees all looked angrily at the guys who cut in line, one or two of them seemed to want to make a move, Hans just glared, and the two of them didn't talk nonsense. Only then did everyone realize that none of these people were easy to bully.

With Hans's nearly two-meter size, none of the yellow-skinned refugees around him could compare, let alone Gulas, who was no worse than Hans. Even Locke and Kane, who are slightly "skinny" among them, are also about 1.8 meters tall, and in the eyes of others, they are also strong men.

Gulas clasped his hands over his shoulders and snorted coldly at the group of refugees. A group of refugees retreated in fright as if they had seen some kind of flood beast.

When Locke and the others walked to the gate of the city, several soldiers guarding the gate saw the faces of several people, and immediately clenched their spears in their hands, as if they were facing a great enemy. Kirby was busy explaining at this time, of course several soldiers could feel the difference between these people, and anyone who had killed someone would exude a kind of evil aura, and those who had been soldiers could feel it.

As the leaders of the army, the Locke people are of course quite amazing. Seeing that the soldiers defending the city were still unmoved, Kirby waved his right hand again, and the soldier before had some more things in his pocket, and the soldier showed hesitation.

Seeing that it worked, Kirby stuffed the few coins he had left on his body to the soldier, and finally the soldier put away his weapon and nodded to the other soldiers around him, and the soldiers around him put away their spears, but the head of the spear was still pointed at Locke and the others.

"Don't make a fuss!" the soldier said to Locke and the others as if threateningly, but it was Gulas who rolled his eyes at him.

After a few people entered the city, Gulas patted Kirby on the shoulder, and "Peng" slapped him, and Kebi's small body was afraid that it would fall apart, "Yes, you kid is quite clever, why didn't you feel it when I caught you." ”

Kirby said with a flattering smile, "My lord, you are joking, at this time, the people who are still guarding the door are all cannon fodder selected from the city, what knowledge can they have, dozens of coppers are enough to send them away." ”

The city of Volillier is not much different from the city of Frans, and it is even more ruined, the streets are full of refugees lying on the ground, and there is not a single shop still open.

Locke was in a hurry, not interested in admiring the city, and said to Kirby, "Lead the way." ”

"My lord, the black market in every city must be in the most chaotic place. "There's nothing more chaotic than a slum now." ”

Several people walked among the intricate sheds, all around them were dressed in rags that could not even cover their bodies, their hair was disheveled, their faces were gray, and their eyes were blank looking at this group of uninvited guests.

Locke didn't pay much attention to these refugees, and suddenly a person with a staggering step, messy hair covering his face, and no shoes even rushed to Locke and the others, "My lord, okay, okay, I haven't eaten for three days......" Before this person got close to Locke, he was blocked by Kane next to him and stopped on the side of the road.

It was just a small episode on the road, and a few people forgot about it in a blink of an eye. However, Locke noticed that the man had stopped because he was clutching a copper that had suddenly appeared in his hand, and that Kane was the only one who was close to him at that time.

A few men stopped in front of a black wooden hut, and there were four thugs armed with sticks and pickaxes in the doorway, and although they looked funny, they were the only standard weapons allowed in the city. Merchants and wealthy people have been frightened and they do not allow regular weapons to appear in the hands of civilians.

If these four gangsters are more conspicuous among the surrounding refugees, Locke and the others simply stand out from the crowd, and they don't look like ordinary citizens at first glance.

The strong muscles of Gulas and Hans were the admission tickets, and the four goalkeepers didn't even stop them, so they let a few people in. It made Locke a little puzzled.

Although the wooden shack is also one or two hundred square meters in size, it is obviously not enough to serve as a black market in a city. Sure enough, upon entering, you will be greeted by a staircase that leads all the way down.

"Is this?" Locke saw the way down for the first time.

"It's the basement, my lord," Kirby explained, duly speaking, "and it is said that it was originally built by a magician. ”

This was the second thing Locke had ever seen created by a magician, the first being the couch he had seen in Master Zoro's tent.

"There's also a black market on the street, and that's bigger," Kirby explained, "but it's not easy for us to show up, so the people who come to this underground, although it's a little smaller, are all boutiques, and the people who come here aren't ordinary people who come to buy things on the black market." ”

"Yes, it's just currency trading, you don't need to go to a big trading venue. Locke nodded in agreement.

There are torches hanging on both sides, and the steps down are not long, but because they are underground, they look extraordinarily dark, but fortunately, several people are bold tough guys, and they don't feel too much.
