Chapter 311 Black Market Trading Noxian Armor
"Hiccup——!"
Sarah gently turned the wine glass in her hand, wiped the beer foam from her red lips, and gave a satisfied burp.
Immediately afterwards, she blew a charming kiss to everyone in the tavern.
Amid the noisy cheers, everyone present became Sarah's most loyal slaves and automatically stood on both sides, watching her walk towards the back door.
Huo Jixing looked at the scene in front of him with a surprised expression.
These rich people in Bilgewater have special status and power, but now they are so attentive and even bend down to salute.
They seemed to just want Sarah to take one last look at them.
But before they could straighten up, Sarah had disappeared into the dim light of the tavern.
"This is the charming magic of Miss Fortune Sarah."
Yosip took a breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and looked at Huo Jixing in front of him.
"The black market is about to open, we need to wait."
Huo Jixing nodded slightly and waited quietly with Yosip in the corner of the tavern.
The moon gradually tilted, and the bright moonlight filled the backyard of the tavern, casting shadows on the castles of the rich.
Sarah walked slowly, becoming more steady and determined with every step she took.
The pretense of being worry-free and charming all sentient beings has disappeared, revealing her true appearance.
Sarah came to the back door of the pub, put away her smile, and looked intoxicated.
The eyes that had been looking at the beauty just now were looking coldly at Bilgewater in the darkness.
The surrounding sounds seemed to disappear at this moment, leaving only the endless possibilities surging in the dark night ahead.
And the unattractive man in the tavern chased him out. His footsteps were inaudible, but so fast that it was nerve-wracking.
He slowed down, controlled his heartbeat, and stopped a few feet behind Sarah.
"Is everything going well, Raven?"
Sarah withdrew her gaze, her voice slightly cold.
Raven felt a little frustrated inside. Over the years, he had never succeeded in scaring him.
"It's not bad, I also met some tough guys."
"Ten more killed around Craig's Quarter. Also, none of the gangsters from the Boneyard are left."
Raven reported on some of the things he had done during this period.
Sarah approvingly brushed the soot off her lapels.
"I heard you gave the guys on the slaughterhouse a good fight."
"Yes, those guys from the Iron Hook Gang are Gangplank's lackeys, and any slight provocation will cause conflicts," Raven said.
"Wyn Gallar has been waiting for this day for a long time. He has been saying that the territory was taken away from his father by Travern's younger brothers more than ten years ago."
"Yeah?"
Sarah shrugged her shoulders, her long bright red hair flowing out from under her three-cornered hat, over her shoulders, and gathered on the white plaster covered by her double-breasted uniform.
"The devil knows, but it doesn't matter."
Raven's expression was calm, and no other emotional fluctuations could be seen on his ordinary face.
"In order to protect the territory of the dock, Galal didn't dare to say anything. I just pushed him."
"However, a thief appeared on the dock recently and attracted a lot of attention."
"Stealer?"
Sarah sounded confused.
"Maybe it's an alien transcendent who specializes in stealing sea beast meat for unknown purposes."
Raven was also a little confused: "But it won't affect our plan."
"The Iron Hook Gang has already dispatched many people, fighting to the death. There is no way they will cause trouble to us."
"Were your actions not noticed?"
Hearing this, Raven looked at Miss Fortune and met a pair of dark eyes.
"Absolutely not, I promise."
Sarah turned around and looked into the restless darkness.
"It is rumored that Gangplank did not die in that wave of flames."
"Some people are restless and want to wait for the Bandit King to return to Bilgewater."
"I will deal with it as soon as possible. Within a week, Plank's people will completely disappear on the island." Raven promised.
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
Sarah nodded and folded her hands on her chest, which further highlighted her proud figure.
"Fedel's body has recovered, do you want him to come back to help?" Raven thought of his old friend and asked aloud.
"So soon? I remember that he seemed to have been sick for a long time."
Sarah looked surprised and knew the situation of her crew better.
"A few days ago, a miracle appeared in Nagakapolos Temple." Raven replied.
"He took the pills given by the priest to expel the dark energy from his body."
When Sarah heard this, an inexplicable look appeared on her blushing face, and the topic jumped.
"Is Pike still operating at Slaughterhouse?"
"Yes." Raven said.
"The previous captain, first mate, crew, mending ship, etc., no one was left, they all died in his hands."
"Then let Fedel come back." Sarah pondered for a while and then said.
"Are you going to take a look at the black market tonight?" Raven continued.
"No, you can make your own arrangements. I'll go back to the Siren first."
Raven nodded slightly, turned around and melted into the night.
As night fell, Sarah left the back door of the tavern and walked towards the huge ship docked at the pier not far away.
Inside the Hydra Tavern.
The noisy sounds slowly receded, leaving behind a rare silence.
When the wealthy people who usually call the shots in Bilgewater saw Sarah leaving, they stopped staying and turned away.
Their figures gradually became hazy under the dim light until they disappeared.
However, some people still stayed in the tavern.
Led by the bartender, they walked into the basement of the tavern.
The rich aroma of wine filled the air, as if to soak people's souls and make them slightly drunk.
Huo Jixing and Yosip mixed in the crowd and went deep into the wine cellar.
They followed the bartender and passed through rows of neatly arranged wine barrels, and the wooden boards under their feet made a slight creaking sound.
The air in the wine cellar was damp and cool, with a little chill, completely different from the hustle and bustle in the tavern.
On the north wall of the wine cellar, there was a dark door opened.
On both sides of the door, several sailors with weapons were ready.
Their eyes were alert and firm, and any movement could not escape their observation.
In front of them, an ordinary man stood.
Although seemingly inconspicuous, it made everyone present tense.
"It's Raven!"
Yosip whispered: "He is under the command of Miss Fortune Sarah, and the core figure of the Siren."
"It seems that Sarah has left Raven in charge of this black market transaction."
Huo Jixing nodded to show that he understood.
Raven walked in front of the crowd, his eyes turned, and stayed on Huo Jixing and Yosip for a while.
While waiting, Huo Jixing looked at the wine cellars around him and suppressed his greed.
After a while, Raven waved his hand to indicate that he could go in.
Huo Jixing and Yosip followed the crowd in front and entered the dark portal.
Behind the portal, there was a long and narrow passage extending forward.
There were rough stone walls on both sides and a high arch on the top.
Huo Jixing and Yosip walked along the wide stone road, and the slight footsteps echoed in the empty environment.
The bonfires on the walls on both sides burned bright yellow flames, illuminating the way forward.
The figures in front and behind flickered in the light of the bonfire.
They had a common purpose, to participate in this black market gathering.
Huo Jixing walked slowly forward and noticed the traces left on the wall.
These stone walls were not formed naturally, but were obviously excavated by humans.
There were still some difficult-to-recognize symbols and patterns on the rough stone walls.
As they went deeper, Huo Jixing faintly heard the rustling sound of the dark river flowing.
Not long after they walked forward, there was a dazzling light.
Seeing this, everyone quickened their pace, left the narrow stone road, and walked towards the light.
A huge underground market appeared in everyone's sight.
The blue-gray stone road was flat and wide, leading to every corner.
The shops lined up opened early, and the goods inside were dazzling.
Different from the market outside, the atmosphere here seemed unusually deserted.
No one shouted and hawked, but just stared coldly at the customers passing by their shops.
But these did not hinder people's enthusiasm.
In the black market, you can trade rare items that are difficult to obtain at ordinary times.
Even some rune magic secrets that are not visible to the public.
Huo Jixing's eyes were filled with red-gold flames, and he saw many clouds rising.
Looking carefully, the number of people in the black market has already exceeded a hundred.
"In this case, the entrance to the black market in front of us is not only the Hydra Tavern."
Huo Jixing compared the number of people coming from the Hydra Tavern and came up with the answer in his heart.
Yosip whispered behind him.
"Lord Huo Jixing, this black market is jointly managed by several of the most prominent captains in Bilgewater."
"There are many rare treasures they looted from all over the place, and there are many magical items in them."
Huo Jixing's eyes moved slightly, revealing an interested look, and his eyes were cast on the shops.
Then, he and Yosip shuttled through the crowd, wandering between the shops, looking for things they were interested in.
After strolling around, Huo Jixing did encounter some magic rune items.
Although they were low-level and of poor quality.
But they still retained the rune properties and could be decomposed into a small amount of essence.
Huo Jixing asked Yosip to buy them based on the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
"Huh? Is this a fairy amulet?"
In a dim shop, Huo Jixing saw a golden necklace inlaid with blue gems.
Next to it, a slightly broken long sword lay quietly.
Although the sword was covered with traces of time, the remaining magic fluctuations could still be felt.
An unexpected gain.
Huo Jixing looked at the two rune items of good quality in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Yosip immediately stepped forward and communicated with the hooded shopkeeper.
After bargaining, he took out nearly a hundred golden sirens and bought the two rune items.
After Huo Jixing got them, he gently stroked the cold metal surface of the fairy amulet and felt the slight vibration from the gem.
But it is more superficial than the broken sword.
Afterwards, Huo Jixing and Yosip continued to wander around the black market, intending to find more rune items.
"Is this the standard armor of the Noxus Empire?"
"It should be, look at the logo on the armor."
"I didn't expect that after Gangplank, someone else would attack the fleet of the Noxus Empire?"
When Huo Jixing and Yosip turned the corner, they suddenly heard a burst of heated discussions.
After hearing this, the two looked at each other and walked towards a tall shop not far away.
What came into view were the hanging black armors with some traces of battle on them.
In the corner of the shop, there were several boxes with a lot of armor piled up inside.
Huo Jixing recognized the origin of these armors at a glance. They were indeed made by the forge of Noxus.
Each armor revealed exquisite craftsmanship and strong protection.
However, Yosip's expression was extremely cold.
As the person in charge of the Reiser Guard Secret Office, he saw these black armors in the black market and was filled with anger.
Judging from the degree of damage to the armors, their owners had experienced fierce battles.
But they did not escape death in the end.
However, Yosip had no way to confirm the true origin of this batch of armors.
Soon someone offered a bid for this batch of black armors, and the bid was not low.
The armor of the Noxian Empire is of good quality and is very popular in Bilgewater.
Especially those pirates who are away from home all year round, they like the standard armor of the Noxus Empire very much, which can effectively protect their lives.
Yosip wanted to buy this batch of armor, but he gave up the bidding under the stop of Huo Jixing's eyes.
Huo Jixing looked at the armor with cold eyes.
The appearance of this batch of armor represents many things.
The first point that can be confirmed is that someone in Bilgewater is likely to attack the fleet of the Noxus Empire.
The second point is that Yosip has not received the news of the fleet being attacked, and the time should be recently.
The third point is that if the fleet is not attacked, it means that someone in the legion is secretly selling military supplies.
Huo Jixing chuckled and took Yosip to the next shop.
He has not left Bilgewater yet, so he can play with the hidden guy.
Yosip seemed to understand, suppressed his inner emotions, and continued to stroll with Huo Jixing.
In the following time, the two were faintly affected by the Noxus armor, and their interest was obviously not high.
Even though he bought another rune item later, Huo Jixing didn't look at it much and hurriedly put it in his arms.
Wait until the black market time is over.
Huo Jixing and Yosip left the Hydra Tavern directly.
After returning to the tavern in the outer city, Yosip took his leave and immediately got busy.
He mobilized the soldiers of the Resser Garrison Corps scattered throughout Bilgewater to secretly collect information.
At the same time, he also sent a message to inquire about the fleet stationed in Falgren.
During the few years that Yosip was in charge of Bilgewater Bay, few dared to plunder the Noxian Empire fleet.
The most famous one was Gangplank.
It is rumored that Gangplank once stole the "Leviathan", which was Swain's battleship and the pride of the Noxian Navy.
"Is this guy really going to return to Bilgewater?" Yosip was shocked.
After dealing with the things at hand, he returned to the backyard of the tavern to meet Huo Jixing.
