Chapter 0103 - Borrowing the Black Market
In the year 1517 of the Holy Calendar, the third day after the Feast of Divine Grace.
The black market is open again.
Who would have thought that the black market of Grace Day is closed for ten days!
The subhumans are nothing more than the festival of charisma.
Now the market is reopened, but most of the people who are active in the market are sub-people.
Mankind is still immersed in the celebration of Grace Day.
However, there are still a few human activities in the black market, and life is not easy.
In the past, the subhuman trading area was relatively deserted, but it was very lively.
Many humans who intend to make a fortune set up stalls here with the harvest they have accumulated over the past few days.
More sub-people are putting out discounts on their goods because they haven't opened these days.
It's just that the price can make the buyer break his leg.
The Minotaur Ariadodus has been distressed lately.
Although the business is okay, some tribes need forbidden goods, but it is difficult to buy them.
Even on the black market.
As for contraband, it is not contraband in the true sense of the word, but refers to the goods that human beings have stipulated cannot be sold to subhumans.
For example, medicines made by humans, weapons and armor, and books related to the knowledge of professionals, etc.
By controlling these things, humans have forced backward sub-human races to become their vassals.
Or maybe it's a slave.
Of course, subhuman races such as dwarves, goblins, and elves, who have outstanding skills and talents, and are not a threat, humans have chosen to cooperate rather than suppress.
The reason why these races are not a threat is not that they are not combative, but that they have no ambitions.
Dwarves only like to drink and black, and as long as they have ore and good wine, they can stay at home for decades.
Elves love forests and flowers, and as long as they have them, they are satisfied.
Goblins, on the other hand, love coins, whether they are glittering gold coins or patina stained copper, and they are willing to sell themselves in order to get them.
Therefore, the subhuman race is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.
Unfortunately, the orc clan where the minotaur belongs belongs belongs to the lowest existence.
Orcs have strong bodies, and even the skinniest of the Monchi can easily lift a fifty-pound object with their cubs.
Not to mention the Bill tribe where Ariadord belongs, as one of the strongest branches of the orc race, the Bill tribe is the main target of human suppression.
The Bills are the self-name of the Orcs, and humans call the Bills the Minotaurs because they look too similar to the human cattle farming.
The oppression of human beings has made the life of the Bill very poor.
But there was no way, the war of the gods and beasts was defeated, and as believers in the beast gods, the orcs were divided and governed, and they were distributed in all corners of the continent.
Even if you want to resist, you are no match for humanity.
Although human beings are weak, they are intelligent and numerous.
Conflict after conflict has made the orcs realize that they are no match for humans. Unless the orcs can unite.
But the orcs who divided the various places, even if they could gather and connect in the black market, could not threaten the humans who had become the overlords of the continent.
Therefore, the orcs now just want to live in peace and reproduce peacefully.
But humans are always vigilant against them, no matter how peaceful the orcs behave, important materials will always limit the orcs.
The Birr have procured very few medicines in recent months.
In the days leading up to and following Grace Day, the cold winter has sickened the Bill cubs.
The medicine accumulated in the clan is simply not enough, and even if the shaman himself collects some herbs to make the medicine of the Bill tribe, it is only to cure the ordinary fever.
However, some of the cubs had a high fever and a strong cough, which had to be done with potions made by human living elves.
Although the goblins love peace, the goblins who do business are not good at stubble.
They are all outliers in the community.
Even if the Minotaur wanted to buy the potion from the goblins, they would have to pay a price fifty percent higher than the market price.
This is not something that the Minotaur can afford.
As for the cunning humans, hehe, in this black market, what they sell to the sub-human race is always adulterated.
Even if there is a real one, the price is to death high.
Greedy goblins can get their hands on some, but they're too greedy to always exploit the orcs.
Aryadotus was anxious.
He used to have a regular supplier he could trust.
But the supplier has recently disappeared and has not been on the black market for a long time.
It is estimated that it has died in the hands of which monster.
This made him feel sorry.
If nothing had happened to that supplier, he wouldn't have to worry about the lack of drugs now.
It seems that we can only see if the accumulated goods can be sold at a good price, and go to the goblin's shop.
For the sake of the cubs of the tribe, if you are exploited, you will be exploited.
Just as Ariador was looking for potential quality customers in the crowd, he was suddenly stunned.
He saw a familiar figure!
Although the figure was wearing an unfamiliar hooded cloak, he would never be mistaken!
He knows that guy even if it's burned to ashes!
After all, every time I take some low-grade monster materials and sell them for a high price, there is only that guy!
If it weren't for the other things he needed in the materials, how could he buy that guy's stuff at a high price every time!
Because, that guy is the supplier he has in mind!
It's just that today, the other party's purpose doesn't seem to be the subhuman trading area.
Where is he going?
It seems that the guy is still being followed.
Considering the cubs of his tribe and remembering the first time he had entered the black market, he had almost been tricked into being sold as a slave, so he gritted his teeth, put away the goods on the ground, packed them on his back, and chased after the familiar figure.
After chasing hundreds of meters, he was almost out of the Asian trading area, and Ariadodd caught up with the figure on a street corner.
Sure enough, the guy was being followed.
Looking at the figure hanging behind the guy in the distance, Ariadore gritted his teeth and decided to intervene.
"Hey! Humans who lack virtue! Long time no see, where have you been lately! ”
Arariador greeted the approaching figure in a loud voice, and under the surprised gaze of the figure behind him, he ran towards the figure in front of him.
"Hey! Little ghost, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you come to sell things, I have prepared a lot of money, and I plan to let you slaughter it! ”
Ignoring the other's astonishment, Ariadorus leaned over to hug the diminutive figure.
For minotaurs who are more than two meters tall, human height is generally short.
Nock looked at the familiar minotaur in surprise, but he didn't expect that he was just passing by the Asian market, and he actually recognized himself.
Nock wasn't silver-haired at this time, he was disguised.
He dyed his hair black with a tree sap and put a mustache on himself, though this disguise was not too elaborate.
But no one who is familiar with it will recognize Nock.
Nock quietly gestured behind him with his hand, stopping Leo from coming from afar.
Yes, the person who was mistaken for a stalker by Ariadore in the distance was Leo.
There's a reason why Nock is so cautious.
First, it was he who trampled on the prestige of the natural church in the high court and offended the natural church to death. The Pope of the Natural Church personally issued a hunt warrant for Nock.
Second, I don't know when a rumor spread around the Lionheart Kingdom. It is said that Nock Lane obtained the fragment of the Tapestry of Fate, a treasure left by the ancient witch, so that he could cause a miracle.
Together with this rumor, even on the day of Grace Day, all forces in England City were acting, and they almost didn't lift the British City.
These are all news brought by Zola.
For this reason, Nock had to postpone his departure, and with the help of Zola, he got props to disguise himself and Leo.
Unexpectedly, they deceived the ears and eyes of various forces in England City, but they failed to deceive this minotaur!
Nock looked at the minotaur in front of him speechlessly: "It turned out to be you!" If you don't set up a stall, why are you chasing me? ”
The Minotaur laughed and said, "Haha, naturally I'm looking for you to do business!" ”
As he spoke, he also patted Nock's shoulder with his hand, but while no one was paying attention, he reminded Nock in a low voice: "Little ghost, why are you so careless, you were followed." ”
Ariador's words stunned Nock.
He didn't expect that this minotaur would actually care about him.
He didn't believe there were no bounties and wanted warrants for him on the black market.
He still thinks that this minotaur has captured himself in exchange for a bounty!
After all, the black market only explicitly stipulates that force cannot be used, which does not mean that it cannot be used.
As long as no one sees it, there are hidden corners in the black market.
Just flip the target and take it to settlement, who cares where your target is captured.
As long as it does not affect the reputation of the black market, the black market is blind to it.
Nock knew that he had misunderstood the Minotaur, and immediately said, "I found out earlier, it's okay, I can handle it." ”
Nock didn't explain that Leo was his own person, and although the Minotaur was kind, Nock wouldn't easily expose his hole cards.
"It's best if you're measured. Have you been busy lately? Why didn't you come to the black market, I urgently need a batch of goods now, can you help me get it? ”
Nock frowned and looked at the minotaur who was seriously discussing the deal with him, as if the other party really didn't know that he had been rewarded, otherwise how could he ask such a childish question.
Nock thought for a moment and asked, "Have you been busy lately and haven't come to the black market?" ”
Ariador nodded and said, "In the past few months, I have been collecting medicine for the tribe, arranging for other people from the tribe to come to the black market to trade, I told them to pay attention to you as a trading partner, but they went back and said that you never showed up. ”
"When I came back to take over after I was busy, I waited for more than half a month, and you didn't show up, I thought something happened to you."
Ariador's words made Nock understand that it was not that Ariador had no intentions for him, but that he was completely unaware of the reward he was offered.
Ariadord was one of the tribal shamans, and he was definitely needed to collect medicine.
I didn't know that Nock was rewarded, but it was understandable.
As for the Minotaurs who know, they may not know that the Nok who is being offered a bounty is the one who wants to trade with them.
Nock thought for a moment and said, "I'm not available today, I'm going to meet a client." Another day, I'll have someone deliver you what you need another day. What do you need? ”
When Ariadord heard that Nock had promised to supply him, he immediately happily recounted the name of the medicine that was missing.
After speaking, he quietly glanced at Leo in the distance, and whispered to Nock: "You really don't need me to help you get rid of the tail in the back?" I'm not the same person I was when I first entered the black market, and I had a way to get out of him. ”
Nock refused, "No. I deliberately asked him to follow. After all, my customer might like the gift I brought. ”
When the minotaur heard this, he gave Nock a strange look, and then said goodbye to Nock without further words.
It's just that when he passed by Leo's side, he gave Leo a pitiful look. Confused Leo.
Those who like humans as gifts are either necromancers or the Bloodline.
In short, it's not a good thing.
His own supplier is still dealing with the dark forces, and it seems that he will have to be careful in dealing with him in the future.
This was what Ariadorus had in mind when he left.
