Lord Chronicle

Chapter 32 Freetown Black Market

Early the next morning, Sol pulled Reed and went out.There are still 5 days before the celebration, he must go to the freetown black market to register and prepare for the transaction.

In fact, Reid has never been to the black market. According to him, when he was studying in the chamber of commerce, he heard people say that there seems to be a place called "Oak Leaf Trading Company" on Jackson Lane Street in the capital. News from the black market in Freetown.

With the lessons learned from last night, this time Sol pulls Kress to be his bodyguard, plus the Yeying members who secretly protect him, nothing will happen again, right?

The three of them drove to Jason Lane Street, and there was actually an Oak Leaf Trading Company.But this is a dilapidated wooden house sandwiched between two shops. The outside of the house is riddled with holes, and even the signboard is half broken. It looks like a haunted house that will collapse at any time.

"Is this a bad house?" Kress didn't believe it.

Saul scolded him: "What do you know, the more hidden the place, the less conspicuous it is, I'm sure the registration point for the black market is inside."

The three pushed the door open, and with a creak, a cloud of dust fell on their heads and faces.While coughing, Sol looked around, the inside of the house was even dilapidated than the outside, the floor was full of cracks, facing a small counter, surrounded by messy piles of dusty papers, half a gray head protruding from the top of the counter.

Hearing the voice, an old man with presbyopic eyes raised his head: "What's the matter?"

"Uh..." Saul decided it would be better to keep it secret, and he hinted: "We are in business."

The old man gave him a weird look, and waved the quill in his hand: "This firm acts as an agent for the import and export of all goods, and the commission is 5.00% of the total value, if you wish..."

"Hey." Sol interrupted him: "Don't pretend, we've all found this place, of course you know what we're here for."

The old man said strangely: "You said you want to do business, what else can it be?"

Reed walked into the counter and whispered in a warm tone: "This is our lord, who is very interested in the transaction during the celebration, so I hope you can introduce it for me."

The old man was still puzzled: "During the celebration, the firm is closed and there is no business."

"Wow!" Kress was impatient: "Damn old man, we are talking about the underground black market in Freetown, let us go in soon."

"Calm down, don't be so loud." Sol hurriedly covered his mouth: "Idiot, these black markets all have code words, if you blatantly yell out to annoy them, maybe tomorrow we will become floating corpses in the river."

Kress was furious, and slapped the scabbard: "Who dares to touch us?"

At this time, the old man stood up tremblingly: "I think you made a mistake? I don't know what is the black market and the white market. Our firm is only a trade agency. If you don't do business, please go out."

The three of them were completely dumbfounded, and Saul asked, "Really?"

The old man nodded seriously: "Of course it is true."

Going out the door dejectedly, Saul wanted to cry without tears: "Reed, your information is not accurate."

Reed was also frustrated: "I just heard that if we can't find a referrer, we can't get into the black market."

When they were at a loss, a voice suddenly came from the ears of the three of them: "Are you looking for the underground black market in Freetown?"

Jumping up in surprise, Saul looked at the speaker.I saw that the other party was a young man in his twenties, about the same height as himself, thin, with light yellow hair, delicate features, slender and long eyes, very pleasing to the eye.At this time, he was looking at the three of them with a smile, which made people feel good.

"Who are you, how do you know what we are going to do?" Kress pressed the hilt of his sword vigilantly.

The young man smiled and raised his hand: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything malicious, but I just happened to hear what you were saying inside, so I couldn't help but ask."

"Do you know how to find the black market in Freetown?" Saul became interested.

The young man nodded: "If you are interested, we may make a deal."

Sol thought for a while, now he has no clue, and it is not a bad thing to listen to this person's advice.He stretched out his hand: "My name is Saul, and this is my subordinate Kress and Reed."

The young man reached out to shake hands with him, and smiled even brighter: "In Lower Garrett, it's actually not the first time we've met."

"What?" Sol was taken aback.

"Do you still remember Ferry City, Mr. Zhang Anbu?" Garrett said slowly.

Surprised, Sol let go of him with a shake of his hand, and at the same time sternly shouted: "Kress!"

Kress reacted very quickly, and with a clang, the giant sword was already on Garrett's neck.When passers-by suddenly saw them using force, they all ran away in fright.

"Who are you?" Saul asked in a deep voice.He was in a turmoil, how could anyone recognize his disguise?What exactly is this guy trying to do?
Looking at the murderous three people, Garrett smiled wryly: "Don't get excited, just speak up if you have something to say, I have no malicious intentions."

How could Sol pay attention to him: "Say, what are your intentions?" If he is the liar Zhang Anbu and spread the word, I'm afraid the Adventurer's Guild will come to him tonight, and Sol doesn't want to take this risk.

Garrett sighed, and had no choice but to say briefly: "My master was captured by an elf chanter in Caton City, and you were there at the time, and that's when I recognized you. The reason I came to you was just to do something A deal, to save my master."

Sol thought for a while, then suddenly realized: "Are you that pair of assassin master and apprentice?"

Garrett nodded: "At first I didn't intend to see you with your true colors, but it would be insincere. We thieves have good eyesight, and your disguise in Ferry is fine, it's just that when you prevented me from attacking the singer in Caton City , I took a second look at you before I recognized you. Can we have a good talk now?"

Saul signaled Kress to put down his sword: "So what's your deal?"

Garrett looked around and pointed to a hotel not far away: "It's not convenient here, let's go there and talk about it."

It turned out that after Garrett recognized Sol in Cotton City, he hated him and caused his master to be captured. He followed Sol all the way to the capital, but unexpectedly discovered that he turned out to be the lord of Lovell.In addition to the fact that Sol and the vice-captain of the Royal Capital Guard called each other brothers, Garrett decided to use Sol to help him rescue his master, and that's how he approached him.

Finally he said: "This is how the transaction is. You help me rescue the master, and I will hide your identity for you and help you participate in the black market transaction in Freetown."

The three sat in a corner of the hotel. Since it was still in the morning, there were no other guests in the hotel except them. The bartender was lazily dozing off at the bar, so he was not afraid of the conversation leaking out.

"Help you save people?" Thor hesitated. He knew exactly what kind of crime it was to attack an elf chanter.

Garrett said eagerly: "I have already found out that the dead old man was locked up in the city defense prison, and now they just treat him as an ordinary thief. If his identity is found out, he will definitely be transferred to the royal prison. Prison, it will be too late." Judging from his tone, the old man Jialin's identity seemed very unusual.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Saul decided to ask clearly before speaking.

Garrett said: "I don't know yet, but you are a lord, and you are familiar with the deputy captain of the security team. They are responsible for guarding the city defense prison. So you can definitely help me."

It's not easy... Saul pondered.Saving people is a big or small matter. The trouble is that the Adventurer's Guild and the Bahrain lord are all staring at the land of Lovell. Once the matter is revealed and they make use of it, the lord's position may not be guaranteed.But if he didn't agree, it would be even worse if Garrett publicized his cheating in Ferry.

Why don't we just kill him right here, once and for all?Sol suddenly felt moved, but then dismissed the idea.He knew Garrett's ability, unless Chip was here, Kress alone would not be able to get him.

Seeing Sol hesitated, Garrett said without losing the opportunity: "I don't know why you want to participate in the black market, but I'm afraid you don't know. Although the Freetown black market doesn't ask about the origin of the goods, it doesn't accept everything. People guarantee that no matter how precious you get, no one will take it. To register as a buyer, you need at least 20 gold coins as a deposit. I have inquired about the influence and financial resources of the Lovell collar, and it seems that neither of the two conditions can be met Bar?"

There is such a rule?Saul looked back at Reed in surprise, or shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know.

Intuitively, Saul knew that Garrett hadn't lied to him, and he couldn't even find the door to the black market, let alone find someone to guarantee it.As for 20 gold coins, it is even more impossible.My God, wouldn't it be possible for my plan to succeed in this way?
Reed saw Sol's reaction completely, he smiled and said: "No matter what you want to sell, I can guarantee it for you. And as a reward for helping me save people, I will pay you 50 gold coins, first Pay 20, and pay the rest after the event is completed, so that you can participate in the transaction, how about it?"

Saul looked at Garrett in disbelief.What is the origin of this pair of assassin masters and apprentices?Not to mention Garrett's ability to guarantee himself, the 50 gold coins alone showed that Garin was not an ordinary person.

"Who are you... exactly?" He couldn't help asking.

Garrett shook his head: "Don't worry about it, do you want to do it or not?"

The offer was too tempting for Saul to refuse. 50 gold coins, for the poor Lovell, he knows very well what this means.For a time, the temptation of huge interests finally overcame doubts.

Hmph, for 50 gold coins, I also confessed to committing a crime in the capital.Anyway, my "motherland" is in another time and space, so there is no need to be loyal to the king. In this world, I am only responsible to Lord Lowell.Besides, if I can't find the things back, that female dragon can't spare me, so I just give it a go!
After making up his mind, Saul breathed a sigh of relief.He stretched out his hand to Garrett: "Aren't you afraid that I'll take your money and sell you to the royal guard?"

Garrett smiled and shook hands with him: "I believe you will not do this, otherwise you will never survive the celebration."

Then he got up from the table: "Then I will fulfill my promise first and introduce you to the black market in Freetown."

He walked slowly to the bartender and took out something from his pocket to show him.A lazy bartender suddenly regained his spirits. After looking him up and down, he said respectfully, "Go through the door and go down."

The three of Sol were completely dumbfounded. Could it be that they are in this tavern?

Garrett ignored their surprised eyes, and beckoned the three of them to follow him.Walk in from the side entrance of the hotel, walk through an old wooden corridor, and there is a door at the end.A swordsman in simple leather armor with messy hair and a beard was holding a wide-edged sword, leaning against the wall by the door and dozing off.

The swordsman didn't even lift his eyelids for the arrival of several people.However, when he walked to his side, Sol suddenly felt a faint chill coming from him, making his spine feel chills, and Kress couldn't help but look at him with shining eyes.

Sensing Kress' gaze, the swordsman rolled his eyes.At this moment, Sol saw in his eyes the murderous aura that was still aggressive despite his efforts to suppress it.

Garrett pushed open the door without changing his expression. Behind the door was a slanting staircase. A candle was hung on the wall every other section. The dim light illuminated a section of the staircase, while the rest was completely hidden in darkness.

Garrett stepped down immediately, followed by the three of Saul.After closing the door behind him, Kress suddenly said: "A first-class master."

Garrett smiled and turned back: "Good eyesight. This is the elder guard directly under the four major chambers of commerce that control the black market in Freetown. They are responsible for protecting the safety of the black market. No one can get past them to cause trouble in the black market."

As the four of them walked to the bottom of the stairs, their eyes suddenly opened up.I saw a huge basement at the end, people were coming and going, many people were wearing gorgeous aristocratic costumes, and some people from other races were also mixed in, it was unexpectedly lively.

Turning his head to greet him, Garrett smiled and said, "Welcome to the Freetown Black Market."

************************************************** ************************************
It was the first time for a few people to come to this legendary place, and they all looked around with wide-eyed eyes.Especially Reed, who was determined to become a big businessman, was full of surprise.

Walking to a clerk's desk in a corner of the basement, Garrett took out a badge with a unique shape: "Garrett from the Thieves Guild, I want to introduce someone."

A man in a loose robe and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses was trying to memorize something on the table. When he saw the badge, he immediately stood up in a panic: "Ah, it's Mr. Garrett, welcome."

After introducing Sol to the man, Garrett said again: "In my name, put 20 gold coins in his name, and you can use them freely in the transaction."

The man hurriedly agreed again, took out a thick notebook and started writing.Garrett pulled Saul aside: "The next thing will be done for you. I'm going to make preparations. When I need your help, I will tell you what to do."

"What's your name?" After Garrett left, the clerk began to register Saul.

"Saul Lovell." After thinking for a while, Sol decided to use his real name.

The clerk picked up another notebook and flipped through it: "Is it the new lord of Lowell?"

Sol was taken aback, secretly thinking about his powerful intelligence capabilities.He nodded: "Yes."

I don't know whether it's because I'm used to seeing big people or because the Lowell leader is too inconspicuous. After learning of Saul's identity, the clerk just wrote him down without changing his face.Sol didn't know until a long time later that the people who participated in the transaction were divided into different categories. Garrett only introduced him as the most common participant. Those princes, nobles and powerful lords from various countries did not need to come to the door at all. Someone from Freetown will go there.

"Have you anything to sell?" asked the clerk.

Under Sol's signal, Reed put the pair of earth dragon leather gloves, the crystal ball obtained from the necromancer, and the horn of the horned wolf king on the table.Fortunately, Garrett is not here, otherwise, seeing the master's gloves being sold by Sol, and giving him 20 gold coins as funds, I don't know what I would think.

The clerk only glanced at it, and then directly swept away the wolf horns and other things. Obviously, these ordinary goods are not even qualified to participate in the auction.Picking up the dragon leather glove and looking at it, he nodded, "This is the genuine product of the blacksmith Bassarian, a good thing. Hey, what is this?" He picked up the crystal ball.

Although this clerk is inconspicuous, in fact, he is a person with the qualifications of a great appraiser, and he passes countless rare treasures every day. Therefore, the dragon leather gloves made by Bassarian that made Manson and Reid excited for a long time, In his eyes, it only attracted a compliment.But he didn't know this crystal ball.

Based on years of experience, he knew that the origin of this crystal ball must be extraordinary. After thinking about it, he asked, "How did you get this thing?"

Sol was about to answer, but Reed stopped him: "As far as I know, Freetown won't ask about the origin of the traded items, right?"

"I'm sorry, I was rude." The man bowed: "I will ask someone to identify it and give you an answer as soon as possible."

Sol whispered: "By the way, can you stop saying that I sold these things?"

The clerk said without hesitation: "Please rest assured, we will not disclose any information about the owner of the cargo."

Sol felt relieved, thought for a while, and suddenly salivated and said, "Garrett credited the 20 gold coins to my name, right? Can I mention 2 first? I've been a little tight lately, you know .”

The clerk shook his head and said: "Sorry, no. This is just a deposit to ensure that you are eligible to participate in the transaction. Every participant must pay and keep it in our custody. You only need to bid during the transaction. After the transaction is completed, we will receive the rest , if there is more, we will ask you to collect it separately."

Sol was stunned, what a domineering rule.That is to say, if I participate, I will pay a deposit of 20 yuan, and no matter how much is left, even if I don’t buy anything, the money will belong to Freetown.But once the 20 is exceeded, they will still charge the balance.

However, this also proves from another aspect that Freetown can provide so many guarantees for traders, so it naturally has his self-confidence, and I believe that the transaction will be very exciting.

Disappointed, Sol had no choice but to dismiss the idea. At this time, the clerk handed him a metal plate with the logo of the four major chambers of commerce engraved on one side and the number 13 printed in the middle: "This is your proof of participation. The auction will be held on the third day of the celebration." It will be held for three days between the fifth day and we will send someone to notify you."

"What about the auction on the last day?" Reed asked in surprise.

The clerk glanced at him: "Sorry, the last day of the celebration is a special auction. Excuse me for being rude, but you are not eligible to participate."

Saul noticed the clerk's words: "Auction? You mean auction?"

The clerk nodded: "As far as I know, the form of auction came from Lovell, right? The higher-ups think that this is a very good way of trading, which can maximize the value of the traded items, so this transaction Yes, we will completely adopt the method of auction. We will find a special person to evaluate all the goods, and I believe you will never suffer a loss."

"But the auction on the last day..." Reed was still unwilling.

The clerk adjusted his glasses slightly: "I repeat, the last day is a special auction, and you are not eligible to participate."

Sol waved his hand to stop Reed. He knew the weight of his lord, so he was not surprised.What he cares about is another matter. This fair will take the form of auction, which is a good opportunity for him.You must know that the auction was "invented" by myself, and it has only been more than half a year now. Many people have never heard of it, and I undoubtedly have a great advantage.

Hey, auction, right?No matter how shrewd you are, you would never have thought that this seemingly fair way of trading would have a lot of tricks, just wait for me to make a fortune.I just hope that the things I need can be bought in the regular auction on those two days.

After asking some more details, Sol handed the dragon leather gloves and crystal ball to the clerk, and left with Reed and Kress.Now as long as you help Garrett rescue Garin, you can wait for the auction to start with peace of mind. I hope nothing will happen again.

************************************************** *******************************
Back at the hotel, unexpectedly, the lord of Bahrain sent someone to send an invitation letter, inviting him to attend the dinner tonight at the mansion.

After reading it, Sol tapped the table slowly with his knuckles, and his thoughts changed sharply.What does Cliff mean?Do you want to find out about yourself?Then should I go?

"What are you writing?" Jessica took the invitation letter and looked at it, then asked Saul, "Are you going?"

Sol shook his head: "I don't know."

After learning the content of the invitation letter, Ridditch said, "Why not go? The Lord of Bahrain is one of the most powerful Lords in the Kingdom. It is a great honor to be invited by him."

Kress also said: "It was also thanks to Mr. Cliff for sending us to the capital last time. We haven't thanked him enough yet."

Jessica also said: "Lords and nobles often use this kind of banquet to connect with each other. If you don't go, I'm afraid it's not suitable."

Sol hesitated, he knew that Cliff didn't know that he already knew about his ambition, so nothing would happen even if he went, but he always felt weird when he thought of meeting him.

Seeing Sol's appearance in her eyes, Jessica suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Is it related to Lord Bahrain?"

Saul was stunned, and immediately understood that this smart girl had seen something, but because there was no evidence, he didn't plan to say it yet.

He shook his head: "No, I'll go tonight."

Jessica gave him a hard look, obviously blaming him for not telling her.At this moment, Marlene suddenly ran in with a panicked expression: "Sister Jessica, master, he, they are here again."

"What's going on?" Marlene's appearance made everyone nervous, and Saul even wondered if the killer of the Lord of Bahrain came to kill them.

"Little Marlene, don't run away, big brother still has something to tell you." With a very frivolous voice, it was Das and Walsa who chased in.

Seeing Darth, Kress was stunned for a moment, and then drew his sword in his hand: "It's you again, who harassed Miss Jessica at the city gate that day, and you came here after him?"

Das was taken aback. When Jessica entered the city that day, he made a move to moles him, and was almost split in half by Kress's sword. It almost caused big trouble at that time.Seeing him make a move at this time, he jumped away in fright.

"Wait, listen to me, I belong to your lord..." Das was about to explain, when he felt a gust of wind passing by his ear, and at the same time a dagger was nailed to the wall close to his ear, the tail handle Still trembling.

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Darth's forehead, and he quickly stood still, not even daring to breathe.On the opposite side, Chip withdrew his dagger-throwing hand and said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Walsa was also so frightened that his heart couldn't stop beating, and he hurriedly said haha: "Ahaha, misunderstanding, we are friends of Saul, this time we are mainly visiting friends, harassing little Marlene is just incidental... no, no, it's a misunderstanding. "At the same time, he thought to himself, Sol's subordinates are really ruthless.

Facing Darth's repeated winks, Sol had no choice but to say: "Kress, put away your sword. These two guys used to be my best friends. But if they dare to harass Marlene again, you don't have to be polite."

Kress glared at the two, put away his giant sword angrily, Chip stepped forward and pulled out the dagger, and before leaving, he glanced at Darth inadvertently, startling him into a cold sweat.

"My god, this guy's eyes are so scary." Das muttered in a low voice.If he knew that Chip was a top assassin, he probably wouldn't be so surprised.

"What are you two guys doing here?" Saul asked, leading them to his room.

Das said dissatisfied: "What a heartless guy, I don't even think about who saved you last night. Walsa and I are worried about you, so come and have a look."

Sol was a little moved. These two guys are a little bit cheap, but they are still quite good.Unexpectedly, Walsa's next words exposed his wolf ambition: "We want to invite Jessica and Marlene to have afternoon tea. Hey, for the sake of brothers, you give them an order to let them go."

Sol couldn't laugh or cry, if he dared to give such an order to Jessica, he would probably be cut into pieces.Marlene might obey orders, but she would also be torn apart by Jessica.

He said heartbrokenly: "Shame, I can't catch up with a woman, and I actually think of such a crooked trick. Do I look like that kind of person? Don't blame me for not warning you. If you dare to play Jessica and Marlene's idea again, I won't do it." I can guarantee that I can control my subordinates."

Unexpectedly, Dass and Walsa gave out their middle fingers at the same time.Das said disdainfully: "Come on, you know that you have no loyalty and want to monopolize these two beauties."

Walsa also shook his head and said: "I think back when our four masters made trouble in the academy, you didn't always rush to the front? Didn't your sex change after becoming a lord?"

Sol secretly startled, is his reputation really that bad?But no matter what, Jessica and Marlene must not be allowed to fall into the hands of these two beastly people.

Seeing that he was unwilling, the two murmured for a while that they had no sense of loyalty, and then gave up.Das asked: "By the way, have you received the invitation letter from the Lord of Bahrain?"

Sol Daqi: "How do you know?"

Walsa said with a smile: "The lord of Bahrain sent out invitations everywhere this time, and noble merchants with a certain status in the king's capital were all invited, and even many foreign envoys were invited."

Sol secretly thought that this is the case, so he should be in no danger.He asked: "But I heard that personal relationships are forbidden between lords. Will it be too conspicuous for him to do so?"

Das snorted coldly: "The hereditary title of the Bahrain family has a high status in our Dinar, and the position of the territory is very important. Cliff can be said to be one of the most powerful people in the kingdom. Finding an excuse to hold a banquet is not a big deal at all." What. On the contrary, those who were invited by him are all complacent."

Das seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Cliff from the tone, Sol secretly remembered, and then heard Walsa say: "We came here, and we intend to go there with you at night."

Sol asked strangely: "Are you also invited?" Walsa seemed to be a representative of the Magic Guild, so it was not surprising that he was invited. Das was only a vice-captain of the security team, but he was also invited.

But Das took it for granted: "I don't want to go yet. But I heard that the chanter of the elves and the princess of the Beamon tribe of the orc empire were also invited. Hehe, of course I'm going to see it." A state of leisurely fascination.

Walsa suddenly became interested: "Speaking of beauties, the snake demon last night is also pretty good, if only there is some magic that can turn that tail into beautiful legs. Well, I have to try it when I get back."

Das teased: "Look at your promising future, isn't it just a monster. But it's strange, she seems to have disappeared suddenly. I asked Si Zayu afterwards, and he still felt very distressed."

Saul sighed to the two, "Here I am."

"What?" Das didn't recover for a while, but suddenly he reacted: "Here!?"

Walsa looked around even more nervously, obviously still worried about what happened last night.

Thor thought to himself that the Basilisk would be summoned anyway, and there was nothing to hide.He said to the two: "It's a long story, but she is now my summoned beast."

"When did you learn the summoning technique behind our backs?" Das wondered.

Sol shrugged: "I haven't learned it. Forget it, you have a look."

As he spoke, his thoughts moved silently, and he shouted: "Xiaomei!", and saw a flash of white light, and Xiaomei had appeared in front of the three of them, her snake body coiled together, and she stood quietly with her head down.After successfully taking back Xiaomei last night, he secretly practiced this trick several times, and he is quite proficient.

Das and Walsa were taken aback, and they didn't step forward until they were sure there was no danger, and walked around Xiaomei curiously.

Thor said to Walsa: "You are from the Magic Guild, can you tell me why I can subdue her even though I don't know how to summon?"

After Walsa asked about last night's situation, his face was full of surprise: "It's so strange, as far as I know, even the most talented summoner, Quermak, couldn't have learned the summoning technique. Subdue high-level monsters. No, this is not a summoning technique at all."

Das said impatiently: "Sol is a genius, he is one of our four masters."

Walsa said seriously: "This can no longer be explained by a genius. I suggest that if you have the opportunity, come to the headquarters of the Magic Guild in the Kingdom of Bamuk. Mr. Robert, the tutor in charge of the Summoning Department, has a deep understanding of summoning. Your attainments may be able to answer your questions."

Sol secretly thought that was the only thing he could do. Anyway, it’s not a bad thing. It’s best if he can figure it out.

At this moment, Das wondered, "Why is she still wearing clothes?"

Saul snorted, "Jessica insisted that I put it on for him."

"Take it off."

"what?"

"Tell her to take off her clothes." Das gasped.

"You...what do you want to do?" Sol had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Hehehe, you got cheap last night, boy, today is a rare opportunity, I must touch it." Das made a "grabbing dragon's claw hand" with both hands.

Sol was stunned, Boss, you are too... Who would have thought that just as he turned his head, he was surprised to see that Walsa also returned to his usual lecherous look, and was staring at Xiaomei with lewd eyes.

Sticking out his tongue and licking his lips, Walsa said hungrily: "Anyway, we still have an afternoon, why don't we... Hehehe, to be honest, I've never tried fighting a monster before."

Thor:  …

"What are you waiting for, give an order." Das urged.

"Shut up! Are you still human? You don't even let monsters go!" Thor finally got angry.

"Are you qualified to say us? I know you very well. Your kid must have done something to her last night!"

"Nonsense, nonsense, how can I..."

"Good things should be shared with brothers, let her take off quickly."

"Take it off, take it off, take it off!"

……

Outside the door, Marlene was holding a tray of refreshments, standing at the door helplessly.

Jessica came up: "Let's go back."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the young master has become a strange uncle." crying, she threw herself into Jessica's arms.

"Hey, don't be afraid." She patted Marlene lightly and comforted her.

"Three beasts in costumes!"

*
at the same time.

"Is this really the Nether Crystal?"

In a house somewhere in the capital, several well-dressed men gathered around a table.There was a soft silk cushion on the table, and a purple crystal ball was placed on it. Looking carefully, it was not the one that Saul handed over to Freetown for black market auction.

The clerk stood aside respectfully and said after hearing the words: "That's right, we asked two appraisers from the chamber of commerce to carefully identify it, and we are sure that it is the crystal of the underworld."

"Who sent it?" a man asked.

"Lord Lovell, Lord Saul Lovell."

"It's him?" The man was a little surprised: "Interesting, the auction was also first spread from Lowell, and now he actually sent the Hades crystal again. He is really a person who can't figure it out."

Another man said: "It doesn't matter, we in Freetown never ask about the origin of the traded goods."

A man resolutely said: "That's right, no matter where it comes from, we will take care of this crystal. The Zeger Mountains area controlled by the Necromancer Guild blocked the trade route to the Lulin Empire. Dozens Over the past few years, we have had to go around a lot. With it, we will definitely be able to persuade the Necromancer Guild to open the way, and the benefits we will gain will be immeasurable."

No.3 man hesitated: "But it is said that the lord of Bahrain is also looking for the god crystal."

No.2 man said: "Then should we keep it private..."

Several men stopped talking, but turned their eyes to the corner of the room.An imposing old man sat there quietly, most of his body was shrouded in shadows, only his gray beard and hair could be vaguely seen.

After a moment of silence, the old man said slowly: "Business is business. We can't smash our own signs. This is also a businessman's self-esteem. The auction will be held as usual, and it will be the finale of the special auction on the last day. Enter the arena, hmph, I don't believe that with the financial strength of our several major chambers of commerce, we can't beat a lord."

"Yes." Several men obviously respected him and responded in unison.

After thinking for a while, the old man said again: "According to the rules, inform Lord Lowell that he can also participate in the auction on the last day. Hmph, interesting little guy, I'm looking forward to tonight's banquet."
