Chapter 44: The Black Market

The female priest leaned back to the chair, and the gold coins disappeared in her hands.

"Lord, if you are not at hand, I will figure out a way to build the temple myself. Now I need a piece of land. If one day you want to take action against Bloody Mary, just help me build a golden statue."

"Golden statue?"

"It costs at least 20,000 kilograms of gold." The female priest looked at the lord's surprised expression and became more and more contemptuous.

Yes, if he had enough ambitions, how could His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Thunder Empire throw him away so far from the Empire and control huge resources?

"Where are you going to build the temple?" The Lord of Stormwind was still perfunctory in his elegant voice, but he didn't know that in the eyes of the female priest, his image had overlapped with those vulgar men with big belly, greasy heads and bald heads.

The goddess is right. In the face of money, all men will show their true colors.

"Just right by the sea, right on the marina. Nominally, the entire Storm Corner is your territory, right?"

"Of course!" The lord of Stormwind City showed his domineering aura. The female priest chuckled, took out a map, and drew a circle on it.

“It’s here.”

The lord of Stormwind City swept his eyes and said that the land the female priest wanted was only one mile away from the port, but the terrain was quite high and there was a stone mountain behind it. Such a place could not be built, nor could it be farmed. It was often windy and the house was built and it was too rotten too quickly. So she let it go and hurriedly sent it away.

This female priest has been pestering herself for more than a month, and she doesn't want to touch the person who serves the gods. It's sad to see her swaying in front of her all day long with her chest erect.

If the female priest knew that he thought so, he would definitely kill him with a divine punishment. He was tall and not for you to show.

"Okay, wait for me." The Lord of Stormwind City took out a contract document, brushed it up and wrote on it the contract to donate the land to the Temple of Wealth. The territory here was originally drawn by him, and before that, the empire had never ruled Stormhorn.

It’s not a pity to give something to someone for nothing. This is different from giving gold coins.

The female priest got the land deed and didn't want to stay in this study for a minute. She jumped up from the chair and said to the Lord of Stormwind City with a smile: "Lord, when do you want to do that, go to the temple to find me. 20,000 kilograms of gold, no bargaining price."

Damn pastor, tempting me again.

The Lord of Stormwind City perfunctorily sent her to the female priest and asked someone to send her out of the Lord's Mansion.

The rain outside the lord's mansion was much lighter, and the sky was brighter than in the study. The priest of the goddess of wealth was lighter and ran in the rain. Her golden priest robe was flying behind her, and behind the golden priest robe, the hanging pentagram became alive.

The female priest suddenly stopped and looked down at her naked feet. The rain on the street soaked her white ankles. The stone slabs flowing under the water were clear, which set off her delicate and cute feet.

It looks so good. She raised her feet and stepped on the water, with a narcissistic expression on her face.

I really want to go back, but I seem to have forgotten to give him benefits. If I don’t go back, the old pervert might do what he wants to take his shoes.

Forget it, just treat it as compensation for him.

The female priest laughed happily. Since she had compensated the lord, she would save a sacred gold coin. The goddess's fair spirit was reflected, and she was so smart!

With the land in hand, the rest is to hire people to build temples. With stone mountains, you can use local materials and assist with divine arts, and it can be completed in a few months at most.

It was supposed to go to the black market. The female pastor thought of this, distinguished the direction and ran out of the city.

The golden figure shuttled under the rain curtain, the female priest's waist twisted gently, and a tinging sound was made in the pockets around her waist, which was extremely wonderful.

This is the music of gold coins and the melody of wealth.

In this wonderful voice, the female priest's figure became faster and faster, and finally turned into a golden light and disappeared directly under the rain curtain of Stormwind City.

Two days later, Xiahe and Cotton Jack entered the black market.

Andre collected six gold coins and helped Xiahe and cotton Jack open the gate of the black market. The black market is underground and is a relic of goblins from ancient times. Every time there is a heavy rain, the black market will close the gate so that a large amount of water will flow in.

The gate behind him is closed, and a square is in front of him.

黑市遗迹内,没有天穹,脚下是个广场,背后的青铜大门高耸.抬头望去,百余米的高度上,是平整的岩石,向远处延伸,一望无际.岩石上带着星辰般的光辉,密密麻麻,照亮了下方的遗迹世界.

Although Cotton Jack had come in and saw it again, he was still shocked by this miracle.

"It was made of goblins, I don't know how big it is." He explained to Xia He.

"So, it's dangerous in the depths."

If there is no danger, humans will explore everything they can reach until the end of the world.

The edge of the prehistoric universe is chaos, the edge of the galaxy universe is nothingness, and the edge of the crystal wall is crystal wall. In the knowledge mastered by the Tao Palace, everything should be able to be detected.

“黑市遗迹的深处,有很多的巨型移动密室,据说蕴藏了地精的财富.两百年前还听说有人能够出来,最近两百年,就等于是绝境死地,反正我没听说还有谁敢进去.”

"Where are the adventurers going?"

"Of course it's a small mobile room." Cotton Jack was ashamed. He was almost always asking for magic questions during the time he and Asla spent together. The matter in the black market did not have time to explain to Asla.

"Are you worried that the captain was trapped in a small secret room?"

"It's possible that the captain's personality... is very brave. The secret rooms have signs of danger levels. As long as they are not large secret rooms, she dares to go in."

Xia He thought about it for a moment. Even the all-round druid was too despicable to take risks alone.

If you encounter an enemy in a mobile secret room and are guarded by the enemy, you will either fight desperately or wait for death inside. When you enter, you will leave a secret symbol outside the secret room. However, there are thousands of mobile secret rooms, and the area is as vast as a large city, so it is very difficult to find the secret room where the captain enters.

"Are there any mercenaries here?"

"Some are there, there are good reputations, but the price is several times more expensive than on the mainland."

Xia He nodded and said, "Let's buy something first and go around."

Jack cotton was not in a hurry. He wanted to find something that could not be done in a month or two. Looking for the traces left by the captain in thousands of secret rooms, he had to investigate every secret room outside.

Walking in the black market, Xiahe feels strange. This is a city built by goblins and has turned into ruins. The black market part is built in the ruins, and most of them maintain the original style. There are street lights on both sides of the street, and the outside of the tall buildings is a metal elevator. When the bearings rub against the slide rails, they will make a harsh sound.

The shops are mostly on the three floors below, and there is no need to take a lift. The upper building is either living in people or used as a warehouse. This is very different from the human city outside.

Xiahe walked all the way, checking from house to door, and found that the prices of materials in the black market were much cheaper than what you knew. The things here were more than half cheaper than Tiebi City. If it was a low-priced market in Green Forest Continent, it should be 30% more expensive than here.

Goods in the black market do not need to be paid taxes, just this price, and there is still a lot of profit.

Xia He quickly read the materials catalog in the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Talisman to see what he lacked, and then compared the goods in the black market one by one to start purchasing. If it was in the world of Shenzhou, he would not have much money to spend, and more than 80% of them were already industrialized.

For example, wind-milled copper, gloomy iron, and mysterious marrow essence are just special alloys or synthetic polymers. However, the magic in this world has not yet been industrialized, and the prices of these items are calculated based on gold and silver.

Xiahe's equipment level is very low, either give up directly or increase the level, otherwise it will soon become unsuitable.

He started buying as he needed, and Jack followed Xia He. When he saw the bargain wanted to buy it, he was stopped by Xia He.

In the black market, the price of finished equipment is even lower, and it is probably all obtained by robbing at sea. Pirates robbing merchant ships and sometimes rob the pirates' strongholds when they are armed. No wonder Jack is tempted, he is also a person who knows the goods.

After half a day of traveling, Jack Cotton found that Xia He had many shops, but there were very few things to buy in each shop. He was puzzled. Xia He was like a pirate who was planning to rob.

The two of them found a restaurant and had something to eat. Jack Kam asked Xia He.

Xia He laughed when he heard this. He said to Jack Cotton: "If it gets messy outside, maybe we can still get a bargain. There is no need to think about robbing. We won't be the turn to make a fortune. But we should be able to buy cheaper goods, and you will know when the time comes."

"Asla, if you have ever thought about robbery, you will have a chance in the future." Jackie Cotton was still a little unbelievable. Xia He didn't explain anymore. He had been walking in so many places, except for the special items that had to be purchased, most of his time spent in the rich catalog of the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Talisman.

In the afternoon, Xia He went to the black market again. When it was almost evening, he finally found good goods. A whole box of black pearls and deep-sea aquaculture products were needed to be salvaged by powerful magical stealth boats.

This kind of magic material is to throw shellfish that can produce black pearls into a specific sea area, and it takes decades to throw them away, and then send magicians to harvest them. Black pearls are the main material for restoring magic liquid, but because of the huge output, the price has always been not too high.
