Chapter 68: Underground Blocks
Tavern owner Hart tells Cross that the black market in Sunset City is very special and that ordinary people can't get in.
It is said that in order to enter the black market, you must go through a rigorous assessment, and moreover, generic coins have no role in the black market, as for the rest of the black market, Hart himself is not clear, he only told Cross to be careful, it is said that many people have died there.
From Hart, Cross only learned a little bit of information about the black market, and he was a little hesitant to go to the black market at first, after all, the crisis in Dragon Landing Fort was still vivid, and if he didn't investigate it clearly, he would be in danger if he rushed into the black market like this.
But in the end, he still decided to make an attempt, although he was facing the horror of the unknown, but if he didn't take this step, then he could only stand still, and the relevant information about magic and magic still couldn't make progress, for the sake of long-term considerations, Cross decided to take a gamble.
At the very least, he can now use time standstill, which also adds a lot of security to his security.
Cross made his way through the crowded and noisy market, following Hart's instructions to find the entrance to the black market.
He first found a weapon shop called "Demon Hunter", then turned his back to the place and went straight to it, and when he found a jewelry store called "Star" on his right, he turned left and continued straight until he reached a ruined stone wall.
This section of the road, Cross spent a lot of time, because on this route, there was no road at all, he passed through other shops, and if he wanted to take a straight line, he could only do this.
There were few people near the dilapidated stone walls, let alone shops, and this kind of place seemed to fit the entrance to the black market.
Cross tapped three times against the stone wall. The sound of percussions echoed through the empty streets.
Moments later, the stone wall twisted, and Cross stepped back alertly. Gradually, the twists of the stone walls took on a distinct outline.
The piece in front of Cross was obviously not an ordinary stone wall, and judging from the outline, it looked like a beast, a beast with wings.
The silhouette became clearer, the dark gray wings became more and more distinct, and finally, Cross recognized what was in front of him—a gargoyle.
If the bard's description is correct, then the "beast" in front of him is undoubtedly a gargoyle.
He had a pair of horns on his head that resembled a ram's horn, wings similar to those of a bat, a long tail behind him, and distinct muscles on his limbs, and as for his height, he was about the height of two Crosss, but the gargoyle was now facing away from Cross.
He turned slowly, and the demonic face made Cross take a few more steps back, and when he turned his body completely, Cross also noticed strange marks on his chest, which were like runes, glowing with a deep blue glow.
The enchanting brilliance immediately aroused Cross's interest, and he guessed that those runic marks were probably magic. Moreover, both in the mouths of bards and in some books of legend, gargoyles are associated with magic.
Some accounts say that gargoyles are the pets of wizards, but bards describe gargoyles even more exaggeratedly, believing that these monsters, associated with demons, are messengers of hell.
In short, gargoyles, most likely have something to do with magic.
Cross turned his surprise to joy, magic, magic, wasn't that what he was looking for, and he was glad that he had made the right decision.
He closed his eyes, expecting to feel the magic in the gargoyle's body.
However, there is nothing, and there is no magic around.
However, Cross already feels lucky, and the black market in Sunset City is indeed a good place.
"Oh, it's human?" was the gargoyle's first sentence when he saw Cross.
He looked Cross up and down, and said, "It doesn't seem to be human." ”
Then, the gargoyle spread its wings and stood upright in front of Cross, "Hello, I'm the caretaker of Sunset City's underground blocks, Isaac, are you going to enter the underground blocks? ”
"Yes. Close knew that the gargoyle's underground neighborhood was actually the black market.
"Have you prepared the Golden Dragon Coins?"
"How much?"
"500 pieces. ”
Cross never thought that it would cost so much money to enter this so-called underground block, not to mention 500 gold dragon coins, he didn't even have 100 now, this underground block, couldn't he get in?
Just then, a man in a crimson coat gracefully approached, the collar of the coat covering almost the entire man's face, "What's wrong? ”
"Lord Lester, he wants to enter the underground block. ”
The man glanced at Cross, then turned his head and said lightly, "As long as he can get 500 gold dragon coins, he can give him a trading ticket for the underground block." ”
Hearing this, Cross was a little depressed, is this the only way to enter the underground block, didn't Hart say that he could clear the customs and enter the black market...... Is that news fake?
He can't just give up, since they're all here, just ask.
"Is there any other way than to pay for Golden Dragon Coins?"
As soon as these words came out, the man named Lester immediately stopped, and Isaac the gargoyle replied categorically, "There is no other way, if you don't have so many gold dragon coins, you can go back." ”
"Wait!" Lester turned, "Isaac, have you forgotten? ”
"Lord Lester, are you talking about ......?"
"That's right, that's how I'm talking. Let him try, after all, you sensed his knock, and he is clearly not an ordinary human. Also, we haven't seen a great show in a long time, and maybe he can surprise us. ”
With that, Lester stepped inside the stone wall.
