Chapter 319 Controlling the Underworld

"Someone you shouldn't mess with?"

Chu Ming pinched his chin and thought, "Did you run into a follower of the evil god?"

"What?!"

The first person to react was not Andre, but Fabian. He looked at his brother in panic. Lu Teng suspected that if Chu Ming hadn't been there, this guy might have run away long ago.

Andre glanced at Fabian, "You can come back to find me, and bring the adults here, I forgive you this time, but you have to stay by my side for the next few days and can't leave."

After that, he didn't care about Fabian's reaction, and answered Chu Ming respectfully:

"I went to the Knights' Temple and the Magic Array Tower to explore according to the family's mission requirements, but every time I approached these places, I always felt like I was being spied on. Maybe it was then that I offended those believers."

He paused, a little guilty, and said: "After the royal city was closed, many vagrants on the streets had nowhere to go and gathered in the underground black market. Maybe I brought the curse of the evil god, which made the underground black market look like this."

"My lord, if possible, I would like to ask you to save these innocent people."

Chu Ming nodded slightly, he looked at Fabian and asked: "Where are you from in the royal city?"

Fabian was stunned, and hurriedly got up from the floor, and said respectfully: "My Lord, I live in a dilapidated house in the lower city of Meiji Street in the South City District."

"Is there such an underground black market in your area?"

Fabian nodded desperately, "Yes, the plague has spread all over the city, especially those crowded markets, all of which are such patients."

"I heard that there were some people with teeth on their bodies in the small market in the south of the city. It's creepy and can infect others."

"If it weren't for..." Fabian secretly glanced at Andre, "If I wasn't worried about my brother, I wouldn't come here."

Chu Ming smiled, and didn't expose his hypocrisy. Andre should know his brother better than him.

Sure enough, Andre sneered, "I think you came to me because you gambled away all your money."

"Fabian, can you be more mature?"

"I..."

The man was hit on the sore spot, his face turned green, then pale, hesitating, unable to say a word for a long time.

Chu Ming shook his head and asked Andre, "Did you get any useful information?"

Andre thought for a while, he stood up and wanted to find the information he had sorted out, but suddenly he remembered that the information had been torn to pieces by his twisted limbs, so he sat down helplessly again.

He sorted out his thoughts and replied, "Sir, the last time I explored was two days ago. After that, I felt unwell and stayed in the underground black market without going out."

"The ban issued by King Ed had not yet taken effect. I saw with my own eyes that the important facilities and institutions in the royal city, such as the Knights' Temple and the Magic Tower, were investigated by the royal family. They seemed to know that there was a traitor inside."

Fabian's face turned pale and he trembled in a low voice, "Sir, this is not something I can listen to, or I will leave here first."

Chu Ming glanced at him, "Follow Andre well in the next few days, don't let me know that someone leaked the news, otherwise Andre can't save you."

Fabian knelt on the ground in fear, "Sir, spare me, I will definitely follow Andre well."

Chu Ming ignored him and focused on the information Fabian had just said.

"Sure enough, the royal family is not simple. Maybe they can find the legendary believers hidden in the city before the blood sacrifice."

After thinking for a while, Chu Ming said to Andre: "Since the abnormality appeared in the city, the family has lost contact with everyone in the city. It has been two days since we received any information. You should use magic props to send this news back to the family."

Andre's heart was shocked, "Did others get into trouble?"

He couldn't help but look back at Fabian. He began to believe what his cowardly brother said. Now the situation in the city is much worse than he imagined.

Fabian saw Andre's eyes and hurriedly said: "Andre, no matter how bad I am in your heart, I will not deceive you. What I said is the truth."

"Although these are all hearsay news, I haven't really seen them, but I believe these news are true."

"The whole city..."

Chu Ming frowned slightly.

Now the whole royal city is like a slowly heated pot, and the royal family and the citizens of the royal city are the frogs in it. When the water temperature slowly rises to a certain height, the frogs will not be able to jump out of the pot.

But it is obvious that the royal family is extremely powerful. Before the royal family is destroyed, the citizens of the entire royal city will die first because of the arrogance and indifference of the royal family.

"If we just sit back and do nothing, these citizens will not survive until the day of the blood sacrifice, and escaping from the royal city will only be a luxury."

Lu Teng also realized this, and she said pitifully: "Ryan, let's save them, we can't let these bad guys succeed."

Green Lake couldn't help but say, "Lord Ryan, if possible, I would also like to help the citizens here."

After listening to the two people's words, Chu Ming chuckled and said, "Don't worry, it's not difficult to save these citizens. We can even use this to interfere with the blood sacrifice."

"If you want to know how to do it specifically..."

Chu Ming stood up and said to the two people around him, "Andre, Fabian, open all the doors and windows of the store. I want to try to rescue the vagrants in the black market."

Andre was stunned. He didn't understand what the rescue of vagrants had to do with opening doors and windows. He suppressed his curiosity and opened all the doors and windows of the store with Fabian according to Chu Ming's instructions.

Chu Ming looked at the street. A faint fishy smell lingered at the tip of his nose. The gray fog surged on the street, and the black shadows lying on the ground made low groans. These monster-like vagrants seemed to be in great pain.

"Green Lake, Green Vine, lend me your power."

Green Vine said with a smile: "All for you."

Green Lake put his hands together, smiled and nodded: "Lord Ryan, please."

Suddenly, Chu Ming's body became transparent, and green light flowed inside, like green lake water, and like green vines entangled together.

In the shocked eyes of Andre and the others, Chu Ming stretched out his right hand, and the green light condensed and grew on the palm of his hand, and it actually grew from a sapling into countless branches spreading out to the doors and windows.

The green branches flowed down from the store like a green tide, pouring into the streets and alleys of the underground black market, bringing fresh air and vitality.

Andre looked dazed. For a moment, he felt as if he had left the dark and humid underground black market, away from the terrible gray fog, and suddenly appeared in the green and natural forest, smelling the fresh air, listening to the birds and cicadas, and watching everything grow.

With the blessing of the legendary power, the branches kept climbing, the green vines grew out towards the dark wall, and the illusory birds jumped on the branches, making verdant chirping sounds.

Level 5 spell: Rejuvenation of the Earth.

Chu Ming's hand was full of green light, and verdant green leaves suddenly sprouted on the branches. Green crystal dew slid down the veins of the leaves and fell on every patient. Even Fabian, who was only slightly stained with the breath of the evil god, was lucky enough to enjoy this treatment.

"What is this?!"

Fabian suddenly realized something, and touched his chest with a panic expression.

The dewdrops seeped into his heart, slightly calming his panic. He saw the gray mist turned into wisps of black smoke and floated out of his body. He felt his body relax, as if he had unloaded a ton of burden in an instant.

"So I have been infected for a long time?"

Fabian looked at the middle of the room, holding up the illusory green light branch in his palm, and felt fortunate in his heart.

If it weren't for this lord, his fate would not be much better than his brother or these wanderers.

Fabian looked out the window. Under the transparent waves of branches, he saw countless black smoke rising up. The sound of "bang bang bang" came one after another. The blood flowing from the wanderers spread along the stone brick lines on the entire street, gathering into puddles of blood.

The gray fog and darkness were dispelled and left the black market. The wanderers, whose wounds were gradually healing, lay on the ground and fell into a peaceful sleep. Their faces were peaceful and they had long since stopped the pain they had suffered.

Chu Ming looked at the blood flowing on the street and his mind moved.

"Green vine, help me."

"Okay!"

I saw that Chu Ming's body was shining with green light again, and the breath full of vitality fell on the wooden wall of the shop. The wooden wall actually grew one green vine after another and hung down on the street, absorbing the dirty blood from the street.

After doing all this, Chu Ming's body gradually returned from transparent to normal, and the transparent green branch in his hand also turned into light dust and slowly dissipated.

Andre reached out to catch a piece of falling light dust, and looked at this scene for a long time without recovering from his daze.

After staying in the capital of Clinton Kingdom for a long time, Andre often had intersections with some mages. He even met epic mages from other kingdoms in the underground black market.

But whether it was the deep blue mage or the epic mage, he had never seen a spell so close to a miracle.

While he was shocked, he became more respectful to Chu Ming.

"Andre, can you manage this entire black market?"

Chu Ming's sudden question reached Andre's ears. He came back to his senses and hurriedly saluted: "My Lord, the manager of the black market has fled the black market and is missing. Now there are only some shop owners, extraordinary people, and foreign wanderers left in the black market. It is not difficult to manage them."

Chu Ming nodded and said: "Very good, I need you to bring the black market under our control. Once there is an opportunity to escape from the royal city. You must have the ability to quickly organize the people to leave the royal city."

Andre's face was solemn and said: "Don't worry, my Lord, I will not let you down."

Andre raised his head and waved to Fabian: "Come with me."

Fabian said bitterly: "My good brother, no need."

Andre said calmly: "With your cunning character, it is most suitable to negotiate with these wanderers. The sooner you help me complete the task of the master, the sooner the master will be relieved."

Fabian was delighted when he heard this. If he could not see that Andre was giving him a chance to show his ability, he would have wasted his time in the royal city.

The man was happy and pretended to be serious and said: "Brother, you are right. I will definitely complete the task assigned by the master."

After that, the two said goodbye to Chu Ming temporarily and walked out of the store.

After the two left, Chu Ming sat cross-legged on the ground, and Lu Hu and Lu Teng also appeared.

Lu Teng asked curiously: "Ryan, what are we going to do next?"

Chu Ming smiled lightly and told his plan.

"I plan to secretly gather the residents of the Royal City near several black markets in the Royal City, so that it will be convenient for me to treat patients."

"As long as the royal family and the evil god believers start fighting, they will have no time to take care of these citizens, and the citizens can also quickly organize themselves and escape from the Royal City under the management of our people."

"Although the royal family ignores the lives of citizens, they are not as cold-blooded as dark creatures. After the fight, the citizens will most likely not be blocked from escaping the Royal City."

"If we want to gather the citizens, we must first bring all the underground black markets in the Royal City under our control."

"Let's first find out the spies planted in the Royal City by the families on the list. With their help, the plan can go more smoothly."

"Yeah!"

Green Lake and Green Vine nodded vigorously.

Green Vine gave a thumbs up and praised: "Ryan, you are so smart. I allow you to be the second smartest in the world."

Chu Ming was full of black lines on his head and coughed lightly: "After Andre and the others come back, we will go to the next place on the list."

Half an hour later, Andre and the others gathered all the citizens of the underground black market and easily brought everyone under management.

The reason why they are so efficient is not because they are so powerful or because of their personal charm.

After they moved Chu Ming out, everyone realized that the miracle scene just now was done by the person behind Andre. Without any hesitation, they gratefully accepted Andre's temporary management.

After Andre and the others came back, Chu Ming gave him a few instructions, asking him to pay attention to gathering citizens around the black market and collecting food, and then left the Gordon Market.

In the next five days, Chu Ming avoided the prying of the magic circle while looking for the people on the list and brought all the black markets in each royal city under control.

Most of the citizens have recovered after being treated by his magic. Chu Ming selected some reliable extraordinary people to assist the managers he selected from the spies to maintain the fragile order.

After secretly controlling the underground world of the royal city, Chu Ming returned to the Gordon Market at the beginning, waiting for the opportunity to come.

Two days later, there were three days left before the blood sacrifice time mentioned by Princess Katie.

In the underground black market, in the watch shop.

The clock on the display wall made a "clicking" sound, and the hour hand moved slowly.

Chu Ming sat on the counter and listened to Andre's report.

"Lord Ryan, other black market managers sent news this morning that most of the residents in the area where the black market is located have secretly gathered near the black market, and only a few residents are unable to go to the black market for various reasons."

Chu Ming nodded slightly, "What is the reaction from the royal court?"

Andre hurriedly said: "They seem to have acquiesced to our behavior."

Chu Ming smiled and said: "The royal family used a magic circle to isolate the connection between the inside and outside of the city. As long as the citizens do not flee the royal city, they will not care too much about the citizens' actions."

At first, Chu Ming thought that the spies on the list had something wrong and did not pass the news back to the family. Later, he found that even if he asked Andre to pass the news back to the family, the elders did not receive the information sent by Andre.

Under the isolation of the magic circle, the magic props owned by Andre can only be effective in the royal city and can be used as a communication tool between black markets, but it is almost impossible to pass the news out of the city.

Fortunately, Chu Ming's real body is still in the town, so he can serve as a bridge for information transmission, telling the elders of the clan the information, so that the clan can be ready to participate in the fight at any time.

After Andre finished his report and left, Chu Ming was the only one left in the store.

He looked through the window at the busy street and murmured, "Now there is only one chance left."
