Chapter 31 Pendant and Ambush

This is the sixth enchanting shop.

Liliana thought.

Because of the development of the source quality silver industry, Thorn City can be said to be the most prosperous city in the enchanting industry in the entire Vic continent, except for the imperial capital Platinum City and the Offa capital of the French Ring.

However, even though she visited six of the most famous enchanting shops in a row, she still couldn’t figure out the origin of the primitive sunbird pendant.

Even in the old enchanting shop that claimed to have a two-hundred-year history of inheritance, the shopkeeper went to the basement for a long time to rummage through boxes and cabinets before finding some fragmentary clues from a moldy ancient book.

“Fei…Fenix, the Dusk Kingdom, the undying bird of the ancient belief in the present-day Quicksands, symbolizes the sun and the sky.”

The shopkeeper pointed to the mouthful of the book. Gu Wen said to her.

“I can only confirm that the appearance of this pendant should be the belief Totem of the ancient Twilight Kingdom. As for the inscribed rune and enchantment attributes, I can’t understand it at all. But I can be sure of the enchantment circuit above. It’s not a set of logic with the current Demon Body system, and it’s not even compatible with the charging interface.”

After he finished speaking, the shop owner hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked her.

“Where did this pendant come from? I wonder if it is powered by human souls…”

The magic caster wanted to There are generally only three ways to obtain magic power in this world: Star Realm, Moon Realm and the soul itself, and after the establishment of the law of the stars, Star Realm has become the only legal way for magic singers to obtain magic power. Any wizard who uses the Moon Realm and the soul itself as a way to obtain magic is considered heresy.

If it wasn’t for the shop owner to see these two people wearing Offa University uniforms who entered the shop, I’m afraid immediately would have to inform the church to catch heretics.

…………

In this way, when the sixth enchanting shop still didn’t get much harvest, Liliana decided to go to one of the last enchanting shops. Shop touch try one’s luck.

But fellow senior Rod Wilson gave her another suggestion.

“Liliana, since the shop owner said that this pendant may rely on the human soul to replenish its magic power, why don’t you go to some less formal places to ask? Maybe the people there will understand better.”

After Liliana was released from the confinement room at home, she found this friend in the Enchanting Department of Offa University, hoping that he could help identify the pendant given to her by the man who called himself William Kane.

However, after fiddling around for a while, he didn’t identify any useful information other than using up all the magic power stored in the pendant, and he didn’t even know how to recharge it. .

Fortunately, Rod Wilson’s family is engaged in the silver refining industry, so he is very familiar with the distribution of Thorn City enchanting shops, so he offered to take Liliana to several enchanting shops that can provide high-quality identification services identification.

And after hitting a wall six times in a row, he made a new proposal.

“Black market?”

Liliana frowned at the senior’s words.

If it had been a few weeks ago, she must have been looking forward to that place. However, after going through the previous series of events, she didn’t have a good impression of the black market.

But trying to figure out the true face of the magic caster who calls himself William Kane alone, it seems like she has only one clue to investigate right now.

“Okay.”

…………

The footsteps of the two of them echoed in the damp tunnel, and occasionally there would be the sound of bats flapping their wings The rustling of mice and mice came from the corner.

Rod Senior led the way with a lit spell facilitator, while Liliana followed.

According to Lord Senior, this black market runs deep in the tunnels of Thorn City.

It used to be the meeting place of the Thieves Guild, but after Duke Simon came to power, in order to combat the smuggling of Elemental Silver, the entire Thieves Guild was swept out of Blackwater Province by him.

“Then, the smuggling channel of Elementium Silver in Thorn City is now almost monopolized by the Duke himself.”

Rod Senior said as he walked.

This tunnel is deep and winding, but terrifyingly quiet. Maybe because she was a little scared, Liliana, who had no interest in such topics at first, raised her voice and asked.

“Since the entire Thorn City’s Origin Silver industry is the Duke’s property, why do you smuggle it yourself?”

“Because the smuggled Origin Silver doesn’t have to be paid for. Give the empire trade tax.”

Rod Senior smiled back at her, maybe because of the dim light in the tunnel, his genial smile, which seemed no different from the past, made Liliana feel a little sullen. .

“Original silver on the black market has a very high premium, and those thieves pay Thorn City’s law enforcement officers a protection fee when mining, and the duke has to draw once again when exporting. Profits. Taken together, smuggling is about the same as regular channels, and all of this is under the control of the duke, so you don’t need to look at the face of the royal family.”

Liliana is nodded.

Walking through the labyrinth of tunnels for a few more minutes before Liliana remembered something, she asked.

“Rod Senior, I remember that your family is also engaged in the refining business of source silver, so does this kind of smuggling affect your family?”

“Whether the smuggling is formal or not The channel is actually to ensure the interests of the Duke. Do you know which mine provides raw ore for the Wilson family?”

“Which one?”

“Silver Stream Mine .”

“Uh…I’m not quite clear, is there anything special about this mine?”

“It’s fine, he’ll be clear.”

Rod Senior said and stopped suddenly.

Liliana nearly collided with his back.

Now they reached a slightly wider fork in the tunnel.

“Rod Senior, you can tell who knows?”

Liliana was a little flustered when the other party stopped suddenly, she asked quickly.

And Rod Senior turned his head 180 degrees and said directly to her face to face.

“The one who has been following us since the beginning, no, should we say two people?”

He still had a warm smile on his face as he spoke.

Liliana now finally understands the reason why she felt dizzy when she saw his expression earlier.

Rod Senior, or the thing that looks like Rod Senior, the smile had been frozen before, as if something was talking in Rod’s face.

Liliana didn’t know if she was screaming, only that she was sitting on the dirty floor after she woke up.

Between him and Rhodes, a tall man wearing a black cloak and holding a giant sword like a door was standing.

It looks like this person should have rescued her earlier.

“Are you implying that the monsters under Silver Stream Mine have something to do with the Duke?”

The man asked in a suppressed anger voice.

And “Rod” just laughed.

“Hello, Cass Durant, and that little pet on you. Last time we let you run away was our dereliction, but this time won’t give you another chance.”

“We?”

Cass glanced around warily.

Seven or eight skeletons in half-armor and covered in mist walked out from several forks in the tunnel.

The weapons in their hands change color as the mist flows.

“This time I promise to send you to reunite with your friends.”
