Passing through a transparent energy barrier, the surrounding sea water disappears.

In front of Jiang Zhao was a beautiful underwater space, in the space where the reef and coral were thick, countless stalls and shops were scattered among the reefs and corals, and there was an endless stream of star soul masters coming and going to the market.

Among them are not only fierce pirates, but also treasure hunters and adventurers who roam the seas all year round.

Among them, foreign faces account for more than half.

The appearance of Jiang Zhao and the three did not attract attention.

"Lead the way!"

Mother Jiang Xinmei kicked the pirate leader lightly and motioned for him to lead the way in front.

Moments later, led by the pirate leader, they arrived at a shop located in the southeast corner of the black market.

The shop is big and the business is good, but it's mostly pirates and outlaws.

According to the pirate leader, this shop specializes in the business of stolen goods, and the owner has a deep background and is trusted by the surrounding pirates.

Jiang Zhao looked around the store and really saw a lot of rare materials and objects.

"Yo, isn't this an old octopus?" A middle-aged man with a scruffy beard next to him seemed to recognize the pirate leader, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, "Why are you alone, what about your subordinates?" Who are these two? ”

The pirate leader's face froze, and he looked at Jiang Zhao's mother and son in embarrassment.

You don't have to think about it to know that there must be some grievances between the two.

"Go aside, my mother doesn't have time to deal with the grievances between you." Mother Jiang Xinmei said impatiently.

"Hey, what an arrogant little girl, do you know who Lao Tzu is?"

The sloppy middle-aged man was about to be ruthless, but was stopped by the voice of the boss at the counter.

"If you don't want to die, get away, the black market is not a place for you to fight bravely."

Hearing this, the sloppy middle-aged man smiled and left silently.

The mother and son didn't bother to ask, and directly signaled the pirate leader to get down to business.

Knowing that the pirate leader was going to redeem the goods of the previous two days, a treacherous smile appeared on the boss's face, squinted at Jiang Zhao's mother and son, and said, "The thing is still there, but the price has to be doubled." ”

"It's a bit ruthless, isn't it, boss?" Mom was faintly dissatisfied.

"The rules are the rules," the boss said with a smile: "Most of the things that come to me are not visible, but the things that go out of me are different, I see two faces, and I don't think they are frequent customers in the black market, if you think it's inappropriate, you can ask in the black market." ”

"Okay, double it, double it."

Feeling the fluctuation of the boss's soul power, my mother didn't want to make extraneous branches.

Anyway, it wasn't his own money that was spent, it was all the money he had looted from the pirates before.

There's quite a bit left after the payment.

A moment later, the two got their hands on the so-called shipment.

At first glance, it looks like a pile of debris that has sunk to the bottom of the sea, many of which have been eroded and damaged by the sea and evil forces, but there are still some gold, silver and jade artifacts from before.

Jiang Zhao and his mother rummaged for a long time, but they did not find the so-called relics of the Divine Domain.

"Are you sure it's everything?" Mom looked coldly at the pirate leader.

The pirate leader looked through it and affirmed, "It's all right, it's the same." ”

"That's really weird," Jiang Xinmei pondered, "Could it be that she was fooled by that little island?" ”

Thinking of this, my mother was inexplicably angry, and she was ready to hand over the pirate leader to the Ocean Sacred Palace and return some blood, anyway, it happened to be in the territory of the Ocean Sacred Palace.

But before that, it's worth taking a good look around the black market, after all, it's rare to get around.

After turning around, I really found a lot of good things, and the price was much cheaper than outside.

Just as the mother and son were about to leave the black market, they were stopped by several black market managers.

"Stay, several." The head manager is quite polite.

Jiang Xinmei frowned, feeling that something was not right, "Do you have any advice?" ”

"But Ms. Jiang Xinmei?" The administrator confirmed.

"Do you recognize me?" Jiang Xinmei was slightly stunned.

"That's right, I'm tired of coming with me, the old people of the dark sea want to see you back then." The manager smiled and invited them to follow.

"The Old Man of the Dark Sea?" Jiang Xinmei was shocked, and immediately motioned to the other party to lead the way.

Jiang Zhao could naturally see that his mother's mood was not quite right, and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?" Do you still have acquaintances on the black market? ”

"I don't know, I'll have to go to find out."

A moment later, led by several administrators, they came to a huge clam shell palace in the middle of the black market.

Entering the palace hall, a man in his forties, with a withered beard, looked at the half-dead man sitting there.

After seeing Jiang Xinmei, a strange brilliance appeared on her thin face, and she raised her hand to signal the managers to step back, squinted and said: "Your Excellency Xinmei, long time no see." ”

Jiang Xinmei looked at it for a long time, and finally recognized the man in front of her, "Rosente? ”

"I didn't expect Your Excellency Xinmei to recognize me."

"Really, huh?" Jiang Xinmei was shocked, and her mouth was amazed: "You kid is still alive?" ”

Rosente smiled bitterly, "Luck, just barely survive." ”

"This black market is yours?" Jiang Xinmei asked curiously.

"Sort of."

"Yes, you kid." Jiang Xinmei smiled and nodded, and then chatted with Rosent.

Jiang Zhao was in a fog listening from the sidelines, while the pirate leader looked trembling and didn't dare to raise his head.

After Rossente and Jiang Xinmei recounted for a while, his eyes slowly fell on Jiang Zhao, "This is the kid back then, right?" ”

Jiang Xinmei smiled noncommittally, "How is it, handsome, right?" ”

"Very nice little guy, quite like Brother Qingsong's demeanor back then." Rosente nodded happily.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhao was slightly startled in his heart, and for a moment, he even suspected that Rosente was his wild father, but he quickly dispelled this idea.

Because Rosente is clearly a blonde Westerner, and he is clearly not of mixed race.

And listening to what this guy meant, he not only knew his mother, but also knew his own uncle.

When he left the Mussel Shell Palace, Rosente personally saw him off.

Before leaving, he reminded Jiang Xinmei meaningfully: "If Your Excellency Xinmei has nothing important, it is better to go back to the inland as soon as possible...... A little off. ”

"Thank you!" Jiang Xinmei smiled clearly, "I have time to come to Tianxing City, please drink." ”

Rosente nodded happily and said nothing.

Later, escorted by several administrators, he left the black market.

The pirate leader, who had been trembling, was relieved and asked cautiously, "The two of you actually know His Excellency Rosente?" ”

"It's your business," Jiang Xinmei said angrily: "Obediently go to the Ocean Sacred Palace with the old lady, I hope you kid can be worth more money." ”

"Okay~ Grandma." The pirate leader nodded obediently.

Now that he is the commander of the light pole, he can't wait to go to the prison of the Ocean Sacred Palace to live for a few years.

If you want to blame him, you can only blame him for his bad life and getting into trouble with such an aunt.

I knew that this aunt even knew Rosente, and he didn't dare to provoke him if he was given a hundred dares.

Coming out of the crack in the seabed, the three of them returned to the ship of the Southern Cross again, adjusted their course, and headed towards the Ocean Sacred Palace.

"And what's wrong with Rosente?"

Jiang Zhao couldn't help but be curious, and talked to his mother.

"In the battle for the dark sea, the representatives of the younger generation of the rice country did not know each other with your uncle and me," Jiang Xinmei said: "I thought he had died in that battle, but I didn't expect him to be alive and become the head of the black market." ”

"Scramble for the Dark Sea?" Jiang Zhao asked curiously: "What are you fighting for?" ”

"A god's domain ruin that tore through the void, and many powerful relics are scattered inside, attracting all parties to fight for." Jiang Xinmei said with emotion.

"It can't be the ruin that conceived me, right?" Jiang Zhao's face was strange.

Jiang Xinmei smiled noncommittally.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhao took a breath of cool air, that is to say, the mysterious ruins back then were actually the dark sea that he had seen from afar on the sea before, no wonder his mother was so complicated at that time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhao couldn't help but breathe heavily: "Can you take me to have a look?" ”

"I can't get in anymore." Jiang Xinmei shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"Why?"

"When that ruin first appeared, it could still enter normally, but there was a certain age limit on the person who entered, and only Star Soul Masters under the age of thirty could cross that barrier." Jiang Xinmei explained: "And now the entrance to the ruins has been distorted by evil and void, so that the entire dark sea has collapsed into a terrifying forbidden area. ”

Jiang Zhao took a deep breath, "Uncle is still inside, right?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Xinmei nodded sadly.

"Strange, what did my uncle do when he went in? Why didn't you come out in time? Jiang Zhao was puzzled.

Jiang Xinmei took a deep breath and said, "In order to find the elixir that prolongs your grandmother's life, it is ridiculous to say, but the 'elixir' was found by me." ”

After speaking, he touched Jiang Zhao's head affectionately, with a thick sadness in his eyes.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhao was full of emotion in his heart.

"Can you get closer and have a look?" Jiang Zhao hesitated to speak.

"It doesn't make sense, I can't get in anyway." Jiang Xinmei sighed faintly, "And Rosente just said that the signs on the sea are not quite right recently, so it's better not to run around." ”

Jiang Zhao sighed helplessly, but the curiosity in his heart became stronger and stronger.

At this moment, he saw the pirate leader on the side weakly speak: "That...... You may not believe it, but there is a route that can be taken closer to the core of the Dark Sea. ”

"What?!"

Jiang Zhao and Jiang Xinmei exclaimed in unison, their eyes focused on the pirate leader.

The pirate leader nodded awkwardly, "The shipment just now came out of the dark sea, and of course, we didn't dare to go any further. ”

"Are you sure?" Jiang Xinmei asked coldly.

"Where does the little one dare to lie to you?" The pirate leader smiled and said, "There should be other pirate groups who know that route, and I knew that route because I took in two pirate brothers who were killed, and then tried to try my luck in it." ”

Jiang Zhao and Jiang Xinmei glanced at each other, and their mood gradually became excited.

In this way, everything can be explained.

The small island before was really not for some divine domain relics, but for the route that could enter the interior of the dark sea.

"What's the origin of those two people you've adopted?" Jiang Zhao asked.

"A very powerful pirate group, I don't know what was wiped out later, anyway, it's quite miserable, and a few people didn't survive." The pirate leader sighed.

The younger brother is getting married today, and his wife will return to the door tomorrow.

So the updates in the last few days have been rushed out in advance, so as not to break the update.

When you read this chapter, the younger brother should be walking through the process on stage.

Haha, please call me the groom officer~!
