The Terran Federation, the Empire, a secret magical research institute.

Two teenagers, dressed in the clothes of a magic apprentice, were cleaning the bloodstained laboratory.

Boring cleaning, these two teenagers who are still in adolescence naturally can't clean so quietly;

"Nord, aren't you curious, why every time we come to clean, there are only these bloodstains, but we don't find the owner of the bloodstains?"

The one who spoke was named Jill, he and Nord were grown up together, and the two of them were commoner children, but they were very lucky, at a very young age, they had a magical aptitude test, both had good magical talents, and finally entered the Tower of Truth as a magic apprentice.

On the other side of the magic room, a boy named Nord heard Jill's words, slowly raised his head, lifted his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and said to him

"Jill, you have to restrain yourself, this is the Magic Research Institute, not our previous magic refining room, when Director Sof asked us to come, he already reminded us to just do our own thing and not be overly curious. ”

"Nord, you're here again, okay, future magician, my dear friend, Lord Nord was my mistake, I shouldn't be unable to hide my curiosity and want to find out the secrets here!"

Hearing Nord's tone, Jill half-squatted, and shook his hand to Nord half-bowed and said these words, and Nord couldn't keep a serious expression when he saw Jill like this, and laughed.

Hearing Nord's laughter, Jill raised his head, and his face was also full of smiles, "How about the Godot boss I imitated is still more similar, he looks like this every time he sees a magician." ”

"Yes, yes, very much like, Jill, laugh at me!"

I saw Nord slowly wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then cleaned the magic room with Jill in laughter.

"Let's go, Nord, it's all clean, it's time for us to go to Chief Suff and get our pay, it's a whole bottle of mana!"

Jill didn't forget to greet Nord as he cleaned up, but as if Nord didn't hear it, he stopped in front of an operating table, and Jill who didn't hear Nord's answer also turned to look at him;

found that Nord at this time was motionless in front of an operating table, so he walked over and patted Nord on the shoulder, but Nord still didn't answer him, but was looking at something, motionless.

After that, Jill also followed Nord's eyes to look at the operating table, a blood-red light came into his eyes, and the operating table was scattered with countless red crystals, seeing this, Jill seemed to think of something;

"Nord, this ...... Be... No... Last time, in Godot... See that thing there?"

"It should be, I remember last time I was also a magician to exchange, do you remember how many spirit sources?"

"I remember, it was changed by a thousand spirit sources, and that time it seemed to be only the size of a fingernail!"

"Then there are so many here, if we only take a few fragments, we should be able to exchange them for a lot of spiritual sources!"

"Should... That's it!"

................................................................................................

In the imperial capital, among the secluded streets and alleys.

The two boys, dressed in cloaks, came to a house in the middle of the alley, and pushed open the door, but there was no sign of locking, and when they pushed it opened, there was an empty courtyard and a very dilapidated house;

"Are you sure the entrance to the black market is here?"

"Of course, I once followed the boss of Godot, and that time he did not wear his usual noble clothes, but changed into the clothes of a commoner, and then came here secretly and disappeared here;

He once said when he was drunk that he often went to the black market to sell things that could not be sold in the store, and sometimes he would buy more precious materials in the black market. ”

"But now there's nothing but weeds and a broken house!"

"Am I mistaken?"

"If you don't go to the black market, what are you going to do with these things!"

The two quarreled with the boys, Jill and Nord, and while they were arguing, an old voice burst out of the dilapidated room;

"Judging by the way you guys look, it's probably your first time here!"

After hearing the voice, Jill and they were visibly flustered, "Who...... Who... Speak there!"

"Hehe, don't be nervous, I'll come out. ”

As the words fell, a man in a black robe floated out of the house;

"Fourth-level magician!"

When they saw the dark shadow floating in mid-air, both Jill and Nord let out a cry of surprise;

The floating shadows did not stop flying because of their surprise, and when the shadows came to them, they took out two white stones and threw them at Jill and Nord.

"This is not the black market, but the entrance to the black market, you are the first time to come, this kind of stone, you should be familiar with it, the magic apprentice should be the most familiar with all magic materials at this time. ”

Looking at the stone in his hand, Nord spoke first, "This should be a fluorite formed by using the powder of the empty dark stone and adding the corpse of the firefly, which is used for teleportation." ”

Hearing Nord's answer, the black shadow let out a cry of surprise, "You're good, I didn't expect you to not only recognize this thing, but also know its composition materials, in this case, as a senior, I will remind you a few words." ”

"1. After entering the black market, all matters outside the black market are not allowed to cause disputes in the black market, and violators are directly strangled by supervisors, and 2. All things sold and purchased in the black market only have the right to buy and sell, and no inquiries are allowed;

Three, your disguise is too simple, I have a few sets of cloaks engraved with hidden inscriptions here, you can use them, one only needs 150 spirit sources, you can consider it, after all, you shouldn't want others to know your true appearance!"

After saying all this, I saw the black shadow take out two brown cloaks out of thin air, and Nord and Jill both looked at the black shadow with a confused expression, as if they were staring at it a little embarrassed, and the black shadow coughed in between;

"Of course, if you don't want to buy it, then I'll open the portal now and let you enter the black market, as for which area and where to send it, it's not up to me to control"

Hearing the tone of the dark shadow mage in front of them and the content of what they spoke, Nord knew that if they didn't buy the cloak in the black shadow's hand, then they might be in danger after entering the black market.

"Dear Magician, the two of us came here to earn a spiritual source, so we don't have a spiritual source on us, but we want to use this to buy it from you, I don't know if we can use it?"

"Oh, something, take it out and show it to me. Nord's words intrigued the Shadow, and then Nord took out a red gem from his pocket.

"We don't know what this thing is, but I saw that our boss spent 1000 spirit sources to buy a gem that is slightly larger than this one, so we wanted to ......"

Before Nord could finish speaking, a withered palm stretched out from the dark shadow, took the gem in Nod's hand, and examined it carefully.

"This, yes...... It's that gem, where did you get it?" Just when the Dark Shadow Mage seemed to know the true purpose of this gem, he wanted to force Nord to tell them.

Suddenly a thick iron chain stretched out from the house, locking the fluttering magician, and Nord and they were also frightened by the sudden change of magician in front of them, as purple lightning flashed above the chain, the black shadow let out a scream, and then convulsed, and fell to the ground.

Seeing the mighty magician suddenly fall to the ground, Nord and Jill were so frightened that they forgot to flee, and the black shadow was electrocuted to the ground, and after a while, he got up when the lightning flashed on his body;

"Grass, this damn forbidden, you two, this is your cloak, put it away, we have a normal deal, and that piece of blood crystal will be mine. ”

In the midst of the dark shadow's complaints, Nord and Jill put on their cloaks with inscriptions, and then stood in the courtyard, and as the black shadow returned to the house again, a huge magic circle appeared on the ground of the courtyard, and with the silver-white light flashed, Nord and Jill disappeared.

"I didn't expect that these two magic apprentices would have blood crystals, but unfortunately, they have now entered the black market, this blood crystal, there are a lot of people who are worried about it, if it weren't for my turn to be on duty recently, wearing this damn prohibition, I would have taken action a long time ago and swallowed all the crystal stones on those two boys, damn it!"
