Chapter 149: Underground Black Market (Part 1)

The meaning of the word "underground" in the underground black market is not just the secret that cannot be seen. It is also really underground, underground in Tormond City!

The entrance to the black market is in the Tormond United Chamber of Commerce next to Shenhui Plaza. The United Chamber of Commerce is a semi-official commercial organization, similar to the Mercenary Union. Most of the merchant groups of all sizes in the city of Tormond and the entire southwestern province are one of its members, with extremely strong strength and financial resources.

After presenting the VIP card, Leon and Corinna entered the tightly defended passage together.

This passage deep into the underground is extremely deep, but the ground of the passage is covered with flat stone slabs, which are very clean and tidy. The stone walls on both sides are painted with various exquisite paintings, which are pleasing to the eye and make people feel bored.

The light emitted by the magic crystal wall lamps shines every corner of the channel in a tiny way. Such a lamp without grease or open flame is worth dozens or even hundreds of gold coins on the market, which shows the strength of the United Chamber of Commerce.

Corinna told Leon that there are more than one access to the underground black market, but the United Chamber of Commerce is the largest and safest.

"Don't ask about identity, no origin, no business, no regrets when buying or selling!" Taking advantage of the walk, Corinna explained the trading rules of the black market to Leon: "Many goods in the underground black market have unknown origins and vary greatly from price to price. Although no one dares to sell fake goods, if you want to buy bargains, you have to rely on your own eyes and experience. Returns are not allowed here."

"Regularly, although the items auctioned at the auction may end up with a high price, they need to be much clearer in terms of prices."

"I don't know much about this, I have to rely on your elder sister to take care of you!" Leon said with a smile.

Corinna gave him annoyed look: "It seems that I owe you in my previous life, so I have to repay it today!"

Many religions on the Glorious Continent believe in the past and next life, and believe in the cycle of cause and effect. Many Begun believers would rather endure hunger than give all their money to the temple. It is based on this belief - this kind of faith is difficult in this life and hope for wealth and honor in the next life.

"By the way, there is one thing you may be disappointed..." Corinna continued: "I'll ask you for a while. The purple soul crystal you want is not for sale in the black market. There is a noble collector who has a collection, but his offer is very high."

"How tall is it?" Leon couldn't help asking.

"One million gold coins!"

One million gold coins! Why didn’t he snatch them? Leon was speechless. What’s the difference between saying that he didn’t sell them directly?

On the Glorious Continent, one million gold coins are enough to support the expenses of a full legion for half a year. The tax revenue of some small countries is only a few million gold coins per year. It is impossible for a piece of purple soul crystal to be sold at such a sky-high price.

However, Leon was prepared for such a result, and there was another way to think about it if he couldn't afford the Zi Po Crystal.

"The purple soul crystal is the most important material for building a holy domain teleportation array, and it is really rare." Corinna shook her head: "But the other party's offer is indeed insincere. You must know that the value of the space ring in my hand is just that."

Rich people! Leon once thought he was rich, but compared with truly rich people, such as the fox girl in front of him, he is really a rich man from the countryside.

A ring on your hand is worth one million gold coins, and it goes without saying what inventory there is in it.

Leon suddenly felt aroused. Corinna carried such a precious thing with her, but she rarely had guards around her. She had been here alone these two days, and seemed to be worried about her safety at all.

If she had any guardian power in the dark, why didn't she appear in the Twilight Hotel that day?

Or is she hiding something that is enough to protect her own secrets?

Leon had no intention of exploring this secret, because Corinna was really treating his friend. If she hadn't taken action in time that day and took out the scroll of praise for life, she would have probably been a corpse.

"Colina..." Leon stopped, turned to face the fox girl, and said solemnly: "If one day you need my help, no matter what it is, even if it is to give my life!"

Corinna was stunned for a moment, then smiled, looking at Leon's eyes with a hint of tenderness: "I understand, I will remember it in my heart."

After this conversation, the relationship between the two seemed to be much closer.

Corinna stopped talking, she held Leon's strong arm and leaned her head gently against his shoulder, and walked forward slowly together.

Leon suddenly hoped that this passage would never be completed.

But no matter how long the passage is, there is an end. Two people continued to walk for about ten minutes, and the front was cheerful.

A city hidden underground suddenly appeared in Leon's sight.

It is said that this dungeon was originally a goblin city. It has existed for thousands of years and the abandonment time is even more unverified. It was not until the city of Tormond was established later that it was discovered and used.

Dozens of huge stone pillars are scattered in various locations in the underground space, supporting the dome hundreds of feet high. The stone pillars are dark in color and black in color, with mottled textures on the surface, silently telling the vicissitudes of thousands of years.

The rows of buildings stand among the stone pillars, centered on a large circular building, radiating evenly to the surroundings, outlining the streets and blocks.

However, there is no crystal of the dark moon above the dome. The street lights on the street and the lights of each household provide lighting. From a distance, it looks like a small city shrouded in night.

On one side of the exit of the passage, a whole row of carriages are neatly arranged.

As soon as Leon and Corinna walked out of the passage, a coachman came forward and saluted the two respectfully.

"We first take a bus to the Central Auction. Now there is still some time before the official auction begins. We can take a walk around the surrounding neighborhoods, maybe there are things you like."

Of course, Leon had no objection. The two boarded the carriage together and drove to the center of the city soon.

There were very few pedestrians on the road, so the carriage was driving very fast and it didn't take long to arrive outside the central auction hall.

Leon and Corinna got off the carriage, and Corinna also rewarded the coachman with a gold coin.

This is the center of the dungeon and the most bustling area. There are many shops around the auction hall and are very popular.

The people who appeared here were basically nobles, merchants, knights and warriors. Occasionally, several gray-robed priests passed by. The streets were orderly, and there were no signs of wanderers, beggars and thieves everywhere in the city of Tormond.

"By the way, you can't buy the Zi Soul Crystal now. I have entrusted someone else to sell your Misilver Star Sand Gold and Magic Crystals. So do you have any other needs?" Corinna asked, "I'm still quite familiar with this place."

"I want to buy some jewelry, preferably with water magic attributes. The more beautiful the better!" Leon replied without hesitation.

This is one of the important reasons why he found a way to enter the underground black market. Magical jewelry is a luxury item. Although it is for sale in the top jewelry shops in Tormond, the price is too deceptive, and it is not an old customer who can't see the best things at all.

"Do you want to give it to girls?" Corinna smiled and said, "Then you really have to choose."

Magic jewelry is basically made by craftsmen from the human race and the elves, and it must be done with the participation of mages. A good magic jewelry is quite expensive, but the magical effects it comes with are also attracted by dignitaries.

The magic core crystal properties inlaid on the jewelry determine the magic characteristics. Those ladies often have a special liking for water-based magic jewelry because the water-based magic cores are beautiful in color, and most of them have special effects of moisturizing and beautifying.

So if a man buys water-based magic jewelry, he basically wants to give it to a woman as a gift.

Leon originally wanted to explain, but Corinna had already stepped forward, so he had to follow.

Corinna took him to a nearby jewelry store. The store has a small storefront and is generally decorated and has ordinary furnishings. It looks no different from that of a second-rate and third-rate small shop.

A middle-aged woman from the fox was sitting behind the counter. When Leon and Corinna came in, she was carefully strapping pearl necklaces, and the white and round beads shone with a soft and charming light.

"Miss Corinna, long time no see!"

She looked up and saw Corinna and Leon, and a warm smile immediately appeared on her face.

Corinna nodded slightly reservedly as an answer. She walked to the counter and said directly: "I need a few pieces of water-based magic jewelry. Do you have the goods on hand?"

The middle-aged woman's eyes turned, and she showed a bit of shrewd and cunning look: "Water magic jewelry is very popular. I have a product I just bought. Although it was booked, if it is Miss Corinna, you want it..."

She turned around, took out an inconspicuous wooden box from the shelf at the back, and pushed it in front of Corinna.

Corinna opened the lid and a string of necklaces immediately appeared in front of her and Leon.

This necklace is very beautiful. It is made of hundreds of small silver-white diamonds. In the center, a water-blue chicken heart magic crystal is crystal clear and flawless. There are three water drop magic cores in the bottom pendant.

Whether it is color matching or manufacturing technology, it is first-class.

"This water blue heart comes with three miniature magic arrays. It can nourish the skin without dust and dust, and can concentrate and keep your mind clear. It comes from the master of the elf clan..." The middle-aged woman introduced: "It has a history of almost two hundred years and belongs to the family's inheritance magic weapon."

"How much?" Leon asked.

The middle-aged woman smiled: "If Miss Corinna wants it, the 100,000 gold coins will be sold!"

"I'll pay 120,000 gold coins!"
