Chapter 453: Murder and Looting

Young Master Sack didn't come to the black market for the elemental elves.

Now I have spent 200,000 gold coins to buy these two elves who can only be used as little pets. In fact, it can be regarded as a little opening ceremony for the scar-faced shop owner to prove his strength.

There is no simple person who can hang out in the black market.

Scarface guessed that Sack had an extraordinary identity.

Moreover, it was brought by one of his colleagues, so he had already guessed a bit about the other party's intention.

But he pretended not to know, and said with a professional smile: "Dear guest, do you need anything else? In my shop, I can get you anything that is available in the Giant Spirit City. "

To ordinary people, the black market is a place full of mystery and various treasures.

You can often get good stuff here that you can't buy anywhere else.

But this is not the case for high nobles.

Although it was Sark's first time to visit the black market, for a high-class noble like him, these places were like places where rats in the gutter stayed. Staying there for even one more minute would be torture.

Even if there is "cheese", it is just crumbs that fell on the ground from the rich man's dinner plate, nothing worth looking at.

Ninety percent of the good things on the market are in the treasure troves of nobles.

Sack did not hesitate and said straight to the point: "I heard that you have information about the Great Emperor's relics?"

"this"

When Scarface heard this, his heart thumped.

But his expression was still that serious professional smile: "Yes, yes. Your distinguished guest has come to the right place. It just so happened that I recently collected a batch of ancient relics, many of which were related to that Lanlingsi. It’s about the Great Emperor.”

As he spoke, he neatly took out a bunch of ancient gadgets.

Such as broken parchment rolls, iron pieces, unique architectural fragments, etc.

At first glance, these things are all antiques, and they have some value.

But it’s hard to say what year it was from.

Scarface didn't want to offend this person, so he added: "But as you know, the emperor's relics are hard to come by, and the origins of 99% of the things on the market are hard to tell. The shop has always done business with integrity, so this should be done in advance Inform you.”

"."

Ji Xun listened silently.

But from the micro-expression on the scarred face, it can be seen that this guy is actually pretending to be crazy and stupid.

This performance can be said to be watertight, and it is hard for Young Sack to really say anything after seeing through it.

If you really want to fool me, this matter will be over.

However, Sak, who had just lost his treasure, was eager to ask for it. He had no intention of nagging and glanced at Seri beside him.

Bringing this lizard tribesman here is the purpose at this moment.

Almost everyone in the Lizard clan is an appraiser.

Seri took one look at the pile of antiquities and said directly: "Young Master, these are antiquities from the Lordaeron Civilization Period in the Chaos Era, and they are not relics of the Great Emperor."

Sak was also disappointed when he heard that. He was not interested in blabbering any more and asked directly: "No need to fool me with these things. I won't be verbose. I want to know where the [Elemental Elf] comes from. I want it in your hand." Make a price for that information."

The arrogance of the high nobles was quietly revealed.

However, at this age, when he is at his peak, Ji Xun didn't think it was a bad question.

"this."

When Scarface heard this, his face twitched inexplicably.

He glanced at the goatee of his colleague from the corner of his eye, and the evil flash in his eyes clearly said: You are too unkind.

This kind of betrayal of colleagues is looked down upon in the black market.

Even if you really have to do it, just do it quietly.

Are you bringing people to the store now?

Goatee's face also looked embarrassed. However, he had already taken refuge in Duke Langdon's Mansion, so he didn't care about that much.

After Sak finished speaking, he looked at the stall owner coldly.

Don't look at these people who are making trouble in the black market. In front of the real nobles, they are just small characters who can be manipulated.

Scarface knew he couldn't hide it, so he looked very embarrassed, "Master, I don't know which family you are from. But to tell you the truth, this little information has been bought by a big shot."

Usually in the black market, when such words are said, people who know the rules will naturally not ask more questions.

The black market also has black market rules.

Once the information is bought out, it will not be sold a second time.

No matter how bad things go, I won't embarrass the other party on the spot. Instead, I'll secretly find an intermediary to discuss it, and maybe we can negotiate.

However, when Sark saw this guy's expression, he immediately realized that Goatee's guess about the Emperor's relics might be right.

It was even more impossible for him to give up, and he said coldly again: "I said I would make a price."

No matter who sells it, the Langdon family is not afraid.

This tone already had a threatening meaning.

"this"

Scarface looked ugly for a while, and from the corner of his eye he glanced at Goatee, his colleague.

Normally, colleagues would definitely come out to smooth things over in this situation, but now Goatee has obtained the title of baronet, and with these connections in the black market, he will be offended if he offends him.

Seeing this situation, Scarface was already more certain that this mysterious young master had a lot of background.

Forced to have no choice, he knew that if he didn't speak, the other party would definitely get the information even if he searched for souls, so he could only say: "Master, please don't embarrass me. My information was sold to Duke Simon."

Ji Xun had actually guessed this result a long time ago.

The guy just now had actually guessed that Young Master Sack had a good status, but he was not afraid.

Still beating around the bush for a long time.

The only explanation is that there is someone behind it.

Normally, if you name the buyer who bought the information, if you want to force the purchase, you have to check the buyer's background.

Coincidentally, Duke Simon and Duke Saklandon are mortal enemies.

Ji Xun knew that things were going to get bad when he heard this.

Sure enough, Sak sneered: "So what? I can pay the same as the Simon family."

As he said that, his tone was completely impatient, "I'll ask you one last time, name your price!"

"."

Scarface's face was extremely ugly, but he was helpless.

Hearing the other party's tone, he had guessed that the identity of the person in front of him was not inferior to the Simon family.

He could only tell the truth and said: "Dear guest, to be honest, I am just a small shopkeeper. This shop is actually managed by Master. Furen."

Ji Xun didn't feel any surprise when he heard it.

The shops in the black market have more or less backgrounds.

Many evil forces are even black gloves cultivated by big families.

But unfortunately, this guy said a name that exacerbated the conflict.

Upon hearing this, Sack's face turned even colder: "Feren?"

Scarface revealed the financial backer, which meant that the information he wanted was basically hopeless.

Coincidentally, at this moment, several people came over from the cliff.

The other party seemed to recognize Sack's identity at a glance, and greeted him sarcastically from a distance: "Hey, who is this, what a coincidence?"

The person who came was none other than Feren, the direct descendant of Grand Duke Simon.

And it was no coincidence that the two young masters met in the black market.

The territories of Duke Landon and Duke Simon are adjacent, and they have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, which can be regarded as a feud.

After the news that Sack was assassinated during the trial outside the city yesterday spread, Feren certainly wanted to see the joke of his rival.

It happened that the informant saw Sack and his group shopping in the Adventurer's Market.

After asking around, they actually came to the black market.

I originally wanted to see what the rival was doing in the black market, but I didn't expect to come to my own shop.

Simon immediately guessed the other party's intention, and he couldn't succeed.

His family had finally obtained the information about the emperor's relics, so why would they give it to others?

Ji Xun also caught a glimpse of the man who was wearing a cloak, but he could still see the iconic green hair.

Grand Duke Simon was a descendant of the green dragon among the five-color dragons. He was good at controlling nature and poisons, and his family was also very powerful.

Ji Xun thought about the information he had obtained before.

The other party was obviously not a good person.

Although Young Master Sack had secret guards, there were only two reserve knights, Ji Xun and Seli, around him.

Seeing this, the two of them also quietly guarded in front of Sack.

Sack looked at the person who came, and his expression was not good.

He was about the same age as Feren in front of him, and the hatred between the two families continued to their descendants.

The two had fought many times before.

Feren looked at Sack and mocked him unabashedly: "Hey, Master Sack, why did you come to the black market? Has the Landon family fallen to the point where they have to buy things on the black market?"

He looked at Sack with a dark face, and his smile became brighter. He asked himself: "I heard that someone was assassinated in the forest outside the city yesterday? Could it be you, Sack? Oh, it's so unfortunate. Those assassins are too amateurish. They dared to do it near the Royal Academy."

There is something behind his words.

Every sentence is a sarcasm.

This shop belongs to Simon's family. Master Sack knew that it would be boring for him to stay.

But he wanted to leave, and the narrow plank road had been blocked by the people coming, and he could not move forward or backward.

Seeing this group of people coming, Ji Xun took the initiative to step forward and blocked in front of Sack.

Seeing this, the lizard wizard Serri beside him did the same.

Whether he can win or not, the knight's duty is to protect the master's family at all times.

The two blocked the opportunity for Feren to mock him face to face. He didn't even open his eyes to look at him. He said coldly: "Get out of here."

"."

Ji Xun was unmoved.

He just looked at him expressionlessly.

He felt more and more interesting in his heart.

He thought about what would happen next.

This guy was deliberately provoking.

The reason?

Of course, the Landon family controlled the best territory in the Old Continent, and it might become the "Fourth Kingdom" in the future.

This is an opportunity, but also a hidden crisis.

Because there are too many people who are coveting the territory at the port of Thunder Dragon City.

As a deadly enemy, the Simon family will certainly not watch the enemy become stronger.

And the South Road is the place where the strong are respected, and the dragon race has always relied on war to solve the problem.

If there is a conflict, many people will add insult to injury to the Landon family.

Feren in front of him is here to intensify the conflict.

The bravery of Ji Xun's team was recognized by Sack during the assassination.

Although the young master didn't say anything now, he had already remembered it silently in his heart.

Sure enough, it was right to bring them out.

The two men's actions of protecting their master saved the only face left for Sack in such a situation.

Seeing that the two trainee knights were unmoved.

Feren glanced at them and threatened coldly: "Are you looking for death?"

Ji Xun ignored him and remained expressionless.

Seli felt a little guilty, but seeing that Ji Xun did not move, he did not move either.

The loyal knight only had the head of the family in his eyes, and would not care about how noble the enemy's identity was.

"Hehe."

Feren was blocked and ignored by the two trainee knights, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes. He sneered and said nothing.

Saying one more word to such a lowly knight would be a loss of status for someone of his status.

Instead, Feren ignored the two minions and continued to taunt his opponent, asking: "Are you coming to my shop to buy something? Just tell me what Saxo wants."

"."

Of course Sark wouldn't answer.

Before he could leave, Feilun turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "Scarface, what does Young Sark want to buy?"

Scarface also twitched his eyelids. He did not have the courage of a knight, but he knew that one more word at this moment was like putting an extra rope around his neck.

But when the head of the family asked, he could only tell the truth: "Master, this distinguished guest wants to buy the emperor's relics."

"."

Feilun's eyes flashed with sternness as he heard that he was indeed here for his top-secret information.

No matter how the information was leaked, it is meaningless to talk about it now. He knew it and asked: "Hey, didn't your Langdon family buy a [Curse God Card] at the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce for a lot of money? Why do you still want to give me the information about Simon's family? idea?"

Young Master Sack was unreasonable to begin with, and now that someone has taken advantage of him, he can't say anything.

However, when Ji Xun heard this, a stern look flashed in his eyes.

It was just a guess before, but now it's basically confirmed.

Feren continued to taunt: "Oh, I heard that Sark was assassinated yesterday and lost a treasure. No, it can't be."

"let's go!"

Before the other party could finish his sarcasm, Sak angrily opened the crowd and left with two guards and a goatee.

I took a trip to the black market.

Instead of getting the information he wanted, Young Master Sack was humiliated by the enemy.

As the only two reserve knights who followed, Ji Xun and Seri could hear Young Master Sak gnashing his teeth and cursing: "I want him to die."

After returning to the ground, Young Master Sack plunged into the hotel with a dark face and never came out again.

Goatee also wisely did not follow, but went to find other information.

And Ji Xun, these preparatory knights, also have time for their own activities.

Originally, at this time, they could go to the Giant Spirit City by themselves.

But after returning to the hotel, Ji Xun's six-person team got together.

Because, Young Master Sack rewarded six people in the team with another sum of money, especially Ji Xun and Seri.

It seems that their previous performance in protecting the black market was recognized by Sack.

However, looking at the bounty, Ji Xun's expressions became subtle.

Gang Duoduo couldn't hide his words, so he asked directly what he thought of: "The young master's face was so dark just now. Seri, what happened when you went to the black market?"

Hearing this, Seri responded helplessly: "Well, it was indeed an unpleasant experience."

It involved some secrets, so he couldn't elaborate on the process of his young master's failure.

As he said that, he looked at Ji Xun with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

He knew that although his teammate rarely talked, his thinking and judgment were absolutely reliable, so he asked: "Brother Su Lun, what are you thinking about?"

Gang Duoduo and others immediately cast curious glances over.

They thought they would hear the truth of the matter, but after Ji Xun pondered for a moment, he said something shocking: "I think we have to kill a few people."

"ah?"

As soon as these words came out, Gang Duoduo and others were stunned.

They couldn't figure out why a trip to the black market became associated with murder.

Ji Xun simply made his words clear: "The young master has lost his face and must get it back. What's more, we offended the young master before. Even if we don't go, that guy will definitely find an opportunity to kill us." of."

Seri said nothing.

In fact, he also thought of this.

He also felt that this was what they had to do.

The guards not only protect the head of the family, but also share the family's worries.

Before, Master Sack said, "I want him to die." Those words were not a simple curse, but a clever command.

The bounty sent was actually stated clearly.

The Langdon family and the Simon family have been fighting for hundreds of years, and their hatred has become irreconcilable.

But the dragonborn still has basic rules.

When kids fight, kids fight.

Conflicts generally do not escalate.

We can't let the adults end up in trouble every time they have a small conflict.

This is a tacit understanding.

The Dragonborn has many heirs, so it doesn't matter how many of them die.

Both families encourage this kind of conflict and at the same time cultivate their children's ability to handle crises.

Only those who can survive are eligible to inherit the family business.

In Ji Xun's deduction, this conflict has already seen the results of many lines.

It is not certain who of the two young men will die in the end.

But they, knight cannon fodder, will definitely die a lot in the conflict.

Especially Ji Xun and the two of them must die.

The dragonborn inherited the dragon's sinister and cunning character, and his previous offense was enough to be the cause of death for both of their minions.

Of course, in Ji Xun's eyes, this small threat was nothing at all.

He expressed this idea in order to better play the role of "Su Lun" and do what he should do.

More importantly, he was also curious about the information about the Emperor's relics, and the [Elemental Elf] was still in the shop.

Therefore, Ji Xun planned to strike first.

Also give some eye drops to that young master of Feren.

When Gang Duoduo and others heard this, they realized what happened to their young master when he went to the black market.

As a knight of Sac, even if he died, he would not let his master's family suffer such great humiliation.

This face must be regained.

Gail was originally a member of the Langdon family and was the most loyal. She did not think that Ji Xun's idea was wrong.

But she thought about it and expressed her concerns: "But if we act rashly, will it cause trouble to the main family? After all, the Simon family is not easy to provoke."

Seri has completely followed Ji Xun's thinking and said: "If it succeeds, of course no one will know that it was us. If it fails, it will be our "personal behavior" and has nothing to do with the Langdon family. If we die, we die."

As soon as these words came out, even Gang Duoduo, who was the slowest to react, reacted.

Then, Seri also said: "And we must act as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find someone if it's too late for the other party to react."

After Ji Xun spoke, he did not speak again.

Seri's ideas in the team were already perfect enough.

After everyone discussed, they were ready to act.

"What level is the other party?"

"Level 1."

"Okay, let's go together!"

Since we are teammates, of course we have to go together.

Otherwise, no matter what the result is, people who retreat will not be well received. If he succeeded, he would not get any reward, and if he failed, he would be implicated.

This matter had nothing to do with David, a slave.

But as he watched everyone leave, he thought about it and said, "I'll go too."

Ji Xun glanced at him.

The dark-skinned boy did not explain much, only saying, "You saved me."

David knew that he would have died long ago without Ji Xun in the previous assassination.

Often, warriors with simple hearts have such a straightforward view of grudges.

Ji Xun listened and smiled without comment.

Everyone went out quietly.

Ji Xun and his friends changed their clothes, but they found nothing in the black market.

The scarred face was also a shrewd person. He knew that he had caused trouble, and he immediately closed the store and went to hide after his own master Feren left.

Ji Xun had already deduced that the guy had slipped away.

He did not say it in advance.

Because they now have a reliable source of information.

The opponent often knows their habits better than they do.

Ji Xun and the other six found Yuri with the goat beard and got information from him.

Those who are in the black market have several disguised identities.

It is difficult for outsiders to find them.

But for the local snakes who have been in Juling City for decades, many secrets are no longer secrets.

Goatbeard can guess the information about the emperor's relics. He is very scheming and usually collects a lot of information from his peers.

Before, it was just for self-protection. Now that he has the identity of a baron, of course it comes in handy.

Coincidentally, he knew that Scarface had a secret lover in South City, which was also a hidden intelligence base for the black market.

Not long after, at No. 224 Tailor Street in South City.

In an inconspicuous small building, leaning against the window of a dark alley, Scarface was secretly chatting with a hooded man hiding in the dark.

Scarface not only buys things in the black market, he is also a broker for several killer organizations in the city.

"Blind man, have you found the assassins? Well. Go to the casino and find a few unfamiliar outsiders to do it. Do it cleanly and don't leave any handles. Kill a few apprentice knights first to teach them a lesson, especially a lizard man, a black-haired one. The master means to hang their heads at the door of the hotel for the Langdon family to see."

"Yes."

"."

Scarface was relieved after he finished his explanation.

The reason why he closed the store and fled back to this secret base was that he guessed that the eldest son of the Langdon family was not someone to be messed with.

Not only was it the order of his own master, but more importantly, he knew very well that in this situation, only by taking the initiative to be ruthless can the other party be afraid and thus protect himself as much as possible.

Scarface went all the way to the second floor.

There was a widow with a cow-like figure on the bed. She was not too old and had some beauty.

The woman was not a good person either. She was also a famous slave trader in the black market, nicknamed "Red Scorpion".

After Scarface came up, he always felt uneasy when he thought about it.

He thought about it and started to pack things up.

The woman looked at Scarface who was tossing back and forth and asked, "Hey, old man, why do you look uneasy?"

Scarface said, "Yuri sold me out. I'm involved in some trouble. I plan to leave the city temporarily to avoid the limelight."

The woman didn't realize the seriousness of the matter yet, and said lazily, "Is it so serious?"

Scarface was also uncertain and said, "Who knew it would be involved in that kind of thing. That kind of big master wants to kill a small character like me, and he can send anyone. I can't afford to offend, so I can only hide."

The woman didn't take it seriously, and said sourly, "Oh, I thought you, the new baron, disliked me, an old woman."

The woman was lying on the bed, and she was not wearing any clothes. The pair of milky white snow-white eyes swayed, which made Scarface feel hot in his heart.

He glanced at her and said, "Forget it, there's no rush now!"

As he said that, the room was full of spring colors.

However, in this moment of delay, six people have come out of a secret passage guided by the goatee.

Without attracting anyone's attention, they approached the small building at No. 224 Tailor Street.

It was right in that dark alley.

The shadows hid the figures of the six people.

Under one of the cloaks, it was a lizard face.

Seri sniffed the smell in the air and said: "Two people, one is Scarface, I remember his breath. There is toxin residue in the other perfume powder, it should be the "Red Scorpion". "

Ji Xun nodded when he heard this.

There was no need to hesitate about the tactics that had been discussed long ago, and several people rushed to the second floor.

David rushed forward alone, and before the other party could react at all, he had already rushed to the bedside.

The two sides fought instantly.

Although Scarface was a first-level card master, as a professional businessman, he had little time to practice, and his strength was not much higher than that of professional knights like Ji Xun.

Ji Xun and Seri controlled the situation exquisitely, and David punched wildly, and Scarface was captured seriously injured in a blink of an eye.

The only surprise was that the "Red Scorpion" controlled everyone with his bare buttocks for a moment, and then poisoned the house and tried to escape through the secret passage.

However, there was a priest in Ji Xun's team, so this little poison was no problem at all.

"Red Scorpion" was killed by Gale in stealth, and Scarface was captured alive.

The entire battle process was blocked by the barrier, and even the neighbors did not notice the conflict here.

Because the secret passage opened by the woman took the initiative, it was also convenient for Ji Xun and others.

After looting in the house for a while, they wiped off the traces and left quietly.
