Chapter 157: A Chance Encounter on the Black Market
The next day, early in the morning.
Josia and the propagandists observe the city and collect information. The people in the gray space are dressed in disguise and guard.
Don didn't follow, he was following Jack to the west of the city. To be honest, it was a surprise to run into Jack, but it was also a bit of a surprise because he just needed Jack's help.
"I didn't expect that. Jack touched the new disguise on his face and sighed, "You actually joined the Gray Army!"
"yes, well, would you like to join in the fun?" said Donn, half-jokingly.
"Well, don't you!" said Jack, waving his hand and laughing, "Are you such a friend? Besides, I can't stand the control of others, so it's better to be free and easy!"
Don nodded, but didn't persuade again. If Jack can join the gray space, it will undoubtedly be a big help. But this kind of thing is what you want me to do, and I can't do it reluctantly. Then the topic changed: "Are you sure you can find what I want?"
This is what Don asked Jack to help, except for the black armor that the members of the gray space can handle, there are no other external props, which obviously limits the play of some tactics. (Except, of course, Luke's eagle bow) and Jack has the most knick-knacks on him, and he knows where he can get what Don wants.
"Don't worry!" said Jack confidently, "on the black market, as long as you can afford to pay, you can find what you want." "Some of the items Don needed were contraband from the military, and they were only available on the black market.
"Well, hopefully. Money is not an issue!"
"Yo!" Jack's eyes lit up with envy, "it's good to be organized, and it seems like you've made a fortune." Now, bro, I'm short of money right now......"
"Stop. Don hurriedly made a pause gesture and said depressedly. "I said, why are you so miserable. Every time you are hunted down, you are either hunted down or short of money to spend. ”
"How do I know this. Jack scratched his hair in embarrassment, and then said thoughtfully, "Do you think I should find a time to go to church and shake around, donate a copper plate or something?"
"......" Don was speechless, donating copper plates?
"Alright. I'll invite you to drink after shopping. ”
"Howler!"
............
Dragons have dragons, and rats have rats. Jack was completely familiar with the black market, and walked around the bustling center street, through a few slum-like places, and finally to a laneway.
There are no formal handles here, so it seems that anyone can enter. But Don smelled blood from the big men around him who were sitting or lying down, and seemed bored. As soon as he and Jack appeared here, dozens of eyes flashed over them like lightning. But this was only a flash, and the other party looked at it slightly. I took it back.
"Leave them alone, let's go inside. Seeing Don staring at these big men, Jack said nonchalantly, "Every black market has its own rules, as long as you don't come in the uniform of the Security Department." There is no problem. ”
Don nodded, and was about to walk into the alleyway. But at this time, three men and one woman walked out, and the man in front of him had silver hair that was very eye-catching.
Donn's eyes flashed. He then recovered, and followed Jack past them.
Suddenly, the bewitching woman walking in the middle paused. Turning, his eyes fixed on Donn's back.
"What's wrong, Eunice?" asked the burly man in the back, surprised.
Eunice didn't speak, her brows furrowed, and an invisible momentum came straight ahead.
"Huh?" The silver-haired man who walked in front and a man in a one-piece robe turned back at the same time, this momentum was subtle, and only those of their strength could feel it.
However, Tang En in front of him was suddenly unaware, and he didn't see a trace of movement, and he was still walking as usual.
Stomp ...... Until the figure disappeared into the dark alleyway, the footsteps did not change at all.
"Maybe I'm wrong...... Eunice spread her hands, her momentum in full swing, "Hehe, it shouldn't be so coincidental." ”
"Well, let's go. The silver-haired man didn't care, and turned to walk forward.
......
Call...... Feeling that the killing intent behind him disappeared, Tang En slowly exhaled a long breath, and under the camouflage on his forehead, a layer of beads of sweat instantly appeared.
Of course, these people Don knew, it was the same group of bounty hunters who had come to rescue the noble youth during the chaos of the garrison last time, and the goshawk among them had died at his own hands. At that time, although Tang En escaped death, the words of these people "remember him" are still in their ears.
Moreover, the woman named Eunice fought directly with him, probably very sensitive to his breath, so she became suspicious.
Fortunately, Donn's camouflage skills have been perfected, and he learned from Jack last night that he has been on the list of union tasks, so he has made a change in appearance. Otherwise, if he was directly faced here, he would have no chance of survival.
You must know that the other party is the peak of a ground-level martial artist, and the one with the hood should also be the magician who didn't show up last time!
It's still careless, it seems that Luke's Eagle Bow is not usable for the time being!
"Well, this is the black market in Riva City, what are you going to buy?" Don was thinking about it when Jack, who didn't know it, suddenly asked.
As soon as Tang En looked up, he found that he had walked out of the alleyway, and what appeared in front of him at this time was a place similar to a shopping mall, where some people set up stalls to sell, and there were also regular stores for sale.
"I'm going to buy a miscellaneous, crossbows, longbows, better quality short blades, and the kind of glitter, blasting crystal ...... you used to use," quickly calmed his mind, and Don said everything he had envisioned before.
"So many?" said Jack, stunned, "then go to the bigger store." ”
Immediately, Jack led Donn through the roadside stalls.
"Do you want to come and see? This is a branch cut from an ancient tree of the best elves, and it is perfect for making a magic wand...... Not a magician? I'm in a hurry, and when I see my eldest brother, I'll be familiar with it, and I'll give it to you cheaply, and you can make a lot of money if you change hands. ”
"That's right...... How about the ten copper coins, my fireplace is just short of firewood. ”
“......”
"The finest Adamantite Meteorite can make your weapons indestructible. How about it, isn't it very exciting, you can take it with three thousand gold coins. ”
"Thirty gold coins, just enough for the layer of Adamantite Meteorite powder you applied to the outside......"
............
Along the way, the vendors next to me are all enthusiastically recommending their good goods. But Jack was unmoved, and at a glance he told the essence of those bluffing things. In this way, after they walked more than ten meters, there were no more vendors to sell.
Tang En was amazed by this and couldn't help asking, "Is it all fake here?"
"Most of them, but occasionally there are good ones, depending on your eyesight. Jack said casually. Then he pointed to the stalls in front of him, "It's all about slaughtering those wrongdoers who come for the first time, or deceiving those guys who want to find treasures." ”
Don nodded, "Understood." "This is the idea of not opening for half a year, and opening for half a year.
"This is good, let's go, let's see!" Jack stopped and walked in as he came to a very formal-looking storefront.
"Hello, what do you need?" the chubby shopkeeper immediately greeted him.
"How do you sell this?" asked Jack, casually picking up a crossbow.
The shopkeeper's pea-sized eyes flashed with a gleam: "This is the Sand Crocodile Arbalest." Ten gold coins. ”
"Huh. Jack chuckled twice and pouted, "Put away your set, we're not rookies." It's a sand crocodile crossbow, but it's a short crossbow! Well, I'll ask the price again. ”
"Oops. I was wrong. The chubby shopkeeper slapped his head and said exaggeratedly, "I'm sorry, this is a sand crocodile crossbow." It should be four gold and fifty silver. ”
It's so dark...... Tang En raised his eyebrows, and with his eyes, he naturally saw that the other party was cheating just now.
Jack didn't care and nodded: "This price is about the same." Then three gold coins. ”
"Ahh I don't want Jack to bargain directly for three golds.
One snatched the crossbow, "If you don't sell it, you can stay where it is cool." ”
"Are you sure? I'm not going to buy a handful?" Jack smiled.
"Uh......" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then his face quickly changed back to a smiling face, "Please, let's go in and talk about it." What about people, hurry up and serve tea!"
...... Don En was speechless, he had seen what profiteers and chameleons looked like.
The three of them went in and sat down at a square table, and Jack took an unhurried sip of tea before he said what he needed.
The shopkeeper's chubby round face became more and more joyful as Jack's mouth trembled.
"That's all, how's that, can you get it?"
"Yes, of course you can!" the shopkeeper responded, and then said impatiently, "Give me time, even if you want a Northern Wilderness girl, I can help you get it." Well, wait a minute, I'll find someone to ask you. ”
This store specializes in all kinds of weapons, but it's not hard to get anything else here.
Jack nodded: "I have no objection to you finding someone to partner, but if the quality is not good, or if you play any tricks, you don't want to get a copper plate from me!" After speaking, he glanced at Don who was sitting quietly on the side.
Don understood, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the table, but there was no movement. In an instant, the palm of the hand collapsed, and it was embedded in the table.
The black market is not a place to make sense, although there are simple rules to restrict. But when it comes to conflict, the fist is the truth. Tang En and they purchased so many things, it was hard to guarantee that the other party would not have any other ideas. Therefore, it is necessary to have a small deterrent.
The effect of this move was obvious, the shopkeeper's face changed in an instant, his table was made of ironwood, and the other party did not use any fighting spirit, and he almost clicked through it...... swallowed his saliva, and his smile became even more flattering: "How can it, my thing has always been cheap and good, and Tong Su is not bullied." ”
"Hehe, that's good. Trouble the boss......" Don smiled gratefully and reached out to pat the shopkeeper's broad shoulder.
"Ahh Seeing that there was nothing unusual in his shoulder, the shopkeeper smiled awkwardly again, and then greeted him from a distance and went out.
"Ya...... Don, your strength has increased a lot. Jack sighed with emotion. Last night, Don had already given him his real name.
Thinking about the first time Don and him met, they were still able to barely reach a draw. But now Jack knew that he had been left far behind.
Don chuckled and said, "Hehe, you're not bad either." I cleaned up an assassin last night. ”
Jack didn't deny it, and said depressedly: "I was forced, chased and killed for a few months, and it was difficult not to improve!"
The two chatted for a while, and the shopkeeper entered the shop with a large box.
