Chapter 4 Black Market
Memphitos is quiet in the dark. As a new pioneering city, Memphitos has a mixed population, and darkness is a breeding ground for evil. Therefore, except for a few places, Memphitos is quiet at night, and The black market is one of the few places.
The black market in Memphitos is not in the main city. It is even said that it has been separated from Memphitos because it is in the sea.
After waiting for three days, the black market opened. Taking a small boat with two soldiers, and under the guidance of Sir Link, Sean came to a small island not far from Memphitos. Of course, they were not on it at this moment. The island is still waiting on the boat.
The moonlight was just right at this time, and with this bright moonlight, Sean could barely see the appearance of the island in the distance, and looking back, the light of the Memphitos Looker Lighthouse was faintly visible.
Seemingly worried that Sean was not used to such waiting, Sir Link took the initiative and said:
"The island where the Memphitos Black Market is located is a bit strange. It is surrounded by dense reefs. Without the guidance of someone familiar with hydrology, ships can easily run aground on the rocks."
Upon hearing this, Sean's face showed a thoughtful look. To find such a place to establish a foothold near Memphitos, this black market is quite extraordinary.
It was at this time that a light lit up in the distance and got closer and closer to Sean and others. It was obvious that the guide from the black market side was coming.
Someone guided Sean and his group to the island smoothly, but what they saw after arriving on the island was beyond Sean's expectation.
In Sean's opinion, since it is a black market, the participants should all wear black robes and masks. But in fact, although there are such people, most of them do not make too many disguises, and the number of people in the black market is not large. Exceeded his expectations.
"Sir Link, the black market here is very lively."
"Yes, Sir Sean, the Memphitos black market was established very early, and it has a good reputation. There has never been any rumors of gangsters eating black people, so it has attracted many people, including not only people from Memphitos. There were other settlers and even natives of the New World.”
After listening to Sir Link's words, Sean's rating of the black market improved a bit.
Walking on the outskirts of the black market, looking at the scattered and disorganized stalls around, Sean's eyes flashed with curiosity, maybe he could pick something up.
Of course, after shopping around, Sean knew that he was overthinking. Although there were many things on the outskirts of the black market, there were very few that caught his eye. The stall owner was the only flame gem. A person who understands.
Sir Link followed Sean around in a circle around the black market without saying anything else, because he could understand the psychology of a young man like Sean who had just come out of home, and thought he was the same way back then.
After looking at the time and Sean, who was obviously not interested in continuing shopping, Sir Link said:
"Sir Sean, it's almost time. The trade fair in the black market is about to begin. There will be some good extraordinary items inside. Maybe we can go and take a look."
After hearing this, Sean understood why the extraordinary items on the outer edge of the black market were all concentrated on the inner edge. Under such circumstances, Sean naturally had nothing to say and followed Sir Link towards the inner perimeter.
After paying a deposit of fifty gold galleons, Sean and his group entered the inner circle of the black market, or the black hall.
With fifty gold galleons as the threshold, there were far fewer people in the Black Hall. However, although the number was smaller, the quality was up. After just a brief inspection, Sean discovered the existence of no less than three suspected extraordinary beings. There are also some good gangs, most of them are fully armed and cannot be underestimated. Some of them even carry the same Lester single-shot rifle as Sean's two guards. You must know that the Lester single-shot rifle is the latest research result of the Kingdom of Sutilt. Currently, only a few main troops have been re-equipped, and these people can actually get it. There must be a lot of tricks in it, but all this is not the same as Sean. It doesn't matter much,
Naturally, he won't be troublesome.
After waiting for a moment, about a quarter of an hour later, the magic crystal lamp hanging in the center of the black hall lit up, the entrance and exit doors were closed, and the black market trade fair officially began.
The person who hosted the trade fair in the black market was a dwarf with thick reading glasses and a thick white beard bound by a copper ring. Yes, he is a dwarf, and he is also a gray dwarf known as the Shame of the Dwarves.
To be honest, the appearance of this dwarf really gave Sean a surprise. After all, dwarves in the old continent had long since disappeared and only existed in history books.
"Everyone, I believe that many acquaintances know me, the little old man, but I still want to say a few words. The rules of the trade fair are very simple. Those who have good things can bring them to the stage for trading. In this process, if you are interested in the seller's If you have any doubts about the item, you can go on stage to verify it yourself, or you can let the little old man do the appraisal. Okay, that’s all I have to say, and the transaction will begin.”
Although the gray dwarf was older, his voice was still loud and clear, allowing everyone in the hall to hear clearly.
"Sir Link, won't the people from the black market participate in the fair?"
After hearing what the gray dwarf said, Sean was a little confused.
"Sir Sean, no one from the black market will participate in this small black market trade held once a month. However, every year the black market organizes a large auction. At that time, the black market will bring out some high-quality products to attract people."
"I see."
The black market's routine is simple, but also very effective. Just as Sean was communicating with Sir Link, someone walked onto the trading desk.
The trade fairs in the inner area are indeed very different from those in the outer area. Extraordinary items that are rare in the outer area are constantly appearing here, although the quality is not high.
Of course, not all the extraordinary items at the trade fair include gems, antiques, and the like. However, these items all have one thing in common, that is, their origins are unknown.
In the first few transactions of the trade fair, Sean did not make a move. The only first-order rare item he was interested in was a small fireball ring. He gave up because there were too many competitors and the asking price was too high. After all, he bought this rare item. The purpose of the object is to absorb source power, and the price-performance ratio of this small fireball ring is obviously not high. But soon, an item appeared that really interested Sean.
"Everyone, my trading item is the carcass of an extraordinary first-level brown buffalo. I have no other requirements, just gold Galleons."
As the scar-faced man finished speaking, two strong men came to the stage carrying a brown bison.
Bang, there was a sound when it landed. The brown bison weighed about 400 kilograms. It should be considered a calf. There were bullet holes in its head. It should have been shot at close range with a large-caliber shotgun after falling into a trap. After all, it was shot from a long distance. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for ordinary firearms to cause fatal damage to such a bison.
There are not a few people who are interested in the corpse of an extraordinary bovine creature. After all, it can be used as an extraordinary ingredient to cut up a lot of meat.
