Chapter 35 The Black Emperor Underground

The two of them left Mr. Twelve's shop and watched the crowds growing around them. Camus looked on. He had walked too fast just now and didn't have time to observe carefully.

There were all kinds of shops, taverns, and gambling houses on both sides of the street. People with masks and those without masks were coming and going to buy what they wanted. However, he had already got what he needed and had no desire to go shopping. Kashu had said it was very dangerous here.

"Kashu, are we going back now?"

"No... Let's go to the tavern and take a look. There will be some special news in there, maybe information about the rats."

"Oh... OK, you lead the way."

Just then, a rat man passed by carrying a sack. Camus heard the woman crying from the sack and was stunned.

"What's going on?"

Kaxiu looked at the sack that Camus pointed at meaningfully, "Where do you think the people from the outer city who disappear every day in Kadic City go?"

"Are you saying that these guys are so bright that they do this? Doesn't the Adventurer's Guild care? Doesn't the Sun Church care?"

"Care? For a long time, I thought that darkness can never be eliminated. Our enemies are those cultists. If it's not them, we can't decide. Let's go."

Kaxiu grabbed Camus and left, "I said that no matter what happens, don't care. If you go to save her, I guarantee that your body will appear in the stomach of the rat immediately. The captain can't rescue us. We are not afraid of trouble, but we can't cause trouble."

"The emperor of the black market, "Rat Caller" Audrey Cake, once said that all goods that come to the black market will be protected by him, and those who disobey will pay the price of their lives. Follow me."

Hearing Kaxiu's statement, Camus realized the darkness of this world for the first time. Maybe not everything is as beautiful as he imagined.

Along the way, I smelled the unpleasant odor around me, stepped on the muddy road, and watched several bloody battles on the way. The bodies of the losers were greedily dragged into the darkness by a group of goblins. With the light of the oil lamp, Camus slightly saw the fangs and fresh minced meat on their mouths. Camus' eyes shrank and followed Camus obediently.

"Huh?"

Kash, who was walking in front, turned his head and grabbed a half-grown rat man, pinching his fingers tightly. His masked face could not see anything.

"Kacha...ah, let me go, I was wrong, I don't dare."

Seeing that Kashu broke the rat man's fingers, the miserable scream attracted the attention of the people around, and Kashu threw away the rat man's hand.

"Get out, if your dirty fingers dare to touch us again, your body will be in the goblin's stomach immediately."

Seeing that Kashu was not easy to mess with, the rat man gang in the crowd quietly retreated. Although they smelled the scent of gold coins on him, Kashu was not easy to mess with.

Looking at Kashu who was different from usual, Camus asked his own questions.

"You've changed a lot."

"I've lived in the underground black market since I was 15. Dark laws are enforced here. If you're not careful, your body will become feces."

Hearing Kashu's calm voice and looking at the complex illusions around him, Camus suddenly had an indescribable feeling for Kashu, perhaps sympathy or perhaps agreement. Everyone has his past, but he is his friend now, isn't he?

"We're here, follow me, don't drink strangers' things, don't talk to strangers."

Camus looked up at the plaque of the tavern, "Scarlet Banshee's Bar"

"Wow", as the half-body door of the tavern was pushed open, the situation inside was visible at a glance

This is a tavern of about several hundred square meters. The tables and chairs in the tavern are all made of wood. They are black and reflect the light of the oil lamp. It seems that there is oil accumulated for a long time. There is a stage in the middle, on which a scantily clad girl is dancing. There is a bar on the left and a large gambling table on the right, which is surrounded by people. There are more than 20 people in the tavern, some are talking loudly, some are tasting food, and some are watching the girls on the stage. There is a bartender at the bar who is tidying up the cups, and there are several people sitting next to him.

Kaxiu walked to the bar with Camus, and after taking a look at the surrounding situation, he spoke lightly.

"Give me two glasses of "Intoxicated Starry Sky", why are there so few people today?"

The bartender is a male rabbit man. Hearing Kaxiu's question, he spoke while wiping the cup.

"Lord Keck is punishing some violators, and everyone went to watch the show."

"Oh... So that's it. I need some information about that group of underground rats, a group of stupid cultists."

As he said that, Kaxiu took out two silver coins from his arms and threw them over.

The bartender took the silver coin and put it in the drawer. "Sir, this is not enough. I do have news about them. You have to pay three more silver coins."

Kaxiu took out three more silver coins and threw them over. After smelling the wine glass, he took a sip and waited for his news quietly.

"Cavendish Castle", where can you find what you need? Our people saw a fallen demon walk in late at night."

Kaxiu drank the wine in one gulp, threw down three copper coins, and prepared to leave.

"Let's go home."

Camus also drank a glass of wine in one gulp. The spicy taste lingered in his mouth, and gradually a hint of sweetness emerged.

"Hmm... the wine is good."

The two passed through the complex underground streets. On the way up, they saw a group of rats dragging a bloody bear man down. Kaxiu stopped Camus and watched the rats go away quietly.

In less than a moment, screams rang out in the darkness, making people shudder.

"Heh... a brainless guy, he has to keep his tail between his legs when he is underground. He has experienced the pain of being devoured by rats."

Camus imagined countless rats biting his body when he was alive, and his mouth twitched. This is too cruel.

"Gu..."

Kaxiu looked at it and found it a little funny, "Don't be afraid, as long as we don't make mistakes, he can't do anything to us. We in the investigation team are not vegetarians, let's go up."

The two went up the stairs. The gatekeeper looked at them and stopped paying attention. The two found a place to take off their clothes, put on their previous clothes, and walked out of the door of the tavern.

"Ah, it's terrible underground, the fresh air is always so charming."

"Camus, do you have any other materials? Do you need me to accompany you?"

"No, please take the eyes back to me, I'll do the rest, they are all ordinary things."

"Okay, let's meet at the Adventurer's Guild. I have to inform the captain as soon as possible."

Camus took out a glass jar and handed it to Kaxiu, watching him go away.

"Oh, what an unforgettable day, the dark underground world."

Camus stopped a carriage, "Sir, please go to the largest flower shop in Caldecott City."

The sound of horse hooves was accompanied by noisy voices. Camus lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw that the road was full of people coming and going in a hurry, and there was no peace at the beginning.

"The shadow of the laparotomist has not yet dissipated, poor people, the power of desire?"

Camus pulled down the curtain, took off the hat on his head and put it on his knees, closing his eyes to rest.

"Mr. Elf, we have arrived at the largest flower shop in Caldecott City."

Camus opened his eyes, put on his hat, jumped off the carriage, paid the fare, and smiled as he looked at the "Mondiana's Flower House" in front of him.
