The night was dark.

There were no pedestrians on the streets, but it was the busiest time for somewhere in Barbis City.

The floor is filled with candles for lighting, and the candlelight creates an eerie atmosphere in this place, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians.

The bustling streets are lined with a wide variety of goods.

It is not a commodity in the secular sense.

There are a wide variety of goods sold here, but most of them are magical artifacts, and some forbidden books are rarely seen in the everyday world.

The status of the vendors who can sell these goods is not unusual.

Each vendor carries the Magical Society's badge on his belt.

The identity of the customers who come here is much more complicated than that of the vendors.

There are adventurers who are curious about anything mysterious, there are supernatural owners of the Magic Society, and even some local paupers or refugees.

The adventurer's goal is all the oddities.

The Magical Society's occult power holders target the magical materials needed for current research experiments.

The local poor, or refugees, come here to earn money and support their families.

Behind the vendors are a number of shops that also sell magical goods, as well as the occasional rare gem.

An elderly man sits in one of the shops.

Small in stature, less than a meter, wearing a black cloak.

He was holding a bottle filled with bright red blood.

The owner of the blood was a pauper, ragged and haggard, with a tube stuck in his arm.

When there was half a vial of blood, the pauper got up and pulled out the tube, holding the eye of the needle with his hand.

"It's time to pay. ”

The diminutive old man glanced at him, got up and walked to the counter with a small half-vial of blood, opened the drawer and took out a dent inside, muttering dissatisfiedly.

"Every time you only sell so little, I have to wait two or three weeks for an experiment. ”

The refugee turned pale and looked pained to fight back.

"I'm here to make money, not to sell my life. ”

If a lot of blood is extracted, he's going to die here.

The diminutive old man shrugged his shoulders and took the three dents and placed them in the palm of the refugee's hand.

The refugee got up to leave, and when he did, he shouted at the people in the long line at the door.

"Next, hurry up. ”

At this time, someone cut the line.

"Let one go, let one go. ”

An old man rushed in and ran quickly to the low old man, looking delighted.

"Master Merlin, it's time for business. ”

The low old man, known as Master Merlin, frowned and spoke in a dissatisfied tone.

"Romero, you have to do something serious, cheating is not the way to make money. ”

The old man, known as Romero, muttered in his heart.

"It's better than your murder. But his mouth was like honey.

"This business is definitely a head, that kid is a redneck, he doesn't understand the market, and he can make a lot of money. ”

Hearing the hard money, Merlin's eyes immediately lit up and he lowered his voice.

"What business?"

Romero looked at the people outside the door and sat on the sidelines, drinking hot water.

"You'll be busy first, and I'll tell you when you're done. ”

It took Merlin a long time to finish the long line at the door, and then rubbed his sore arm and sat opposite.

"Let's talk about it now. ”

Romero immediately introduced.

"Somebody wants to buy books about Tobias Willis, as well as books with information about the Daedric decks. ”

Merlin nodded.

"What am I going to do?"

Romero smiled slyly.

"You have a well-connected network in the dark market, and you can get those booksellers to provide all the books on this, on credit, of course, and wait until I sell them, and then I pay them. ”

Although I don't know what Tobias Willis and the Demon God deck are, with the scale of the banned books in the dark market, you must be able to find a lot of them, and if that kid wants it, it will indeed be big business.

After thinking about it, Merlin, who refused to suffer, frowned.

"Although we are brothers, we also have to settle accounts, how to share the profits?"

Romero, as the younger brother, scolded a few words in his heart and kept smiling.

"Seven or three points, I brought this business here, I have seven and you three, absolutely fair. ”

Merlin was a little annoyed and sneered......

"I think you can do a good job in this business, so that you can take all the profits and don't have to share them with anyone, even your own brother, you say. Then he got up and tried to leave.

Seeing this, Romero hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal.

"You don't know that with my identity and reputation, those guys won't sell me favors. ”

Seeing that his brother still had no intention of turning back, he gritted his teeth.

"Okay, it's absolutely fair. ”

However, this very tempting plan has not yet been accepted.

Romero clenched his fists and said the final plan.

"Seventy-three points, you seventy percent, I thirty percent, this is the maximum sincerity I can give, if you are not satisfied, I would rather let this business go yellow, it will not be beneficial to either of us." ”

This time Merlin was tempted and turned around to sit opposite.

"No problem, I'll get the word out as soon as I can, and get my old friends to help, they should be able to find books on these soon, and when the time comes, when the boy pays the money, you can bring him in and pick up the things." ”

......

The other side.

When he got home, Downing didn't have much hope for the man.

Now that I have become a staff member of the General Administration, I can enter the confidential archives room of the General Administration, which is huge in scale, and I will definitely be able to find a lot of information I want.

As for the person I met on the road, it was just a supplemental plan.

When she got home, the furniture she bought was installed, and Sonia packed up her studio.

Downing went back to the kitchen and started cooking.

The first is the sour and spicy shredded potatoes, which are 10,000 times better than mashed potatoes.

Then there are pork ribs stewed with potatoes, steamed sea bass, and finally a tomato and egg soup, and tonight's meal is complete.

As for the phoenix claws.

Tang Ning wants to make a pickled pepper wind claw, there is no pickled pepper here, it can only be replaced by red pepper, which is better than nothing.

Sonia frowned as she stood in the kitchen doorway and watched the young man busy.

"The sea bass isn't tasty at all, and the chicken feet have to be thrown in the trash. ”

Tang Ning smiled back, and put the phoenix claws he had made into a jar and sealed them.

"Soon you'll change your mind about sea bass, and as for chicken feet, you'll have to wait three days. ”

A table of dishes is served and candles are lit.

Downing motioned for the girl to try the bass.

Suspicious, Sonia picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

As she chewed, her expression changed from the original suspicion to joy and excitement.

"It's amazing, I didn't expect sea bass to be so delicious. ”

Tang Ning was not surprised at all, and the two had a hearty dinner with laughter and laughter.

After dinner, I was so tired from a busy day that I immediately fell asleep.

......

Early the next morning, Downing ate Sonya's breakfast and rushed to the General Bureau of Investigation.

I didn't expect to enter the General Directorate of the Investigation Bureau, and the first case has already come.
