Black market exchange.

The residents of the dark world where the underground city is located have no main source of materials. The traders inside are mostly agents of major forces in Fairhaven City on the surface. They control various materials needed by the underground residents. Although they are only very common and common materials on the surface, such as food, medicine and metal, in the underground world, these things are all necessities for survival.

People who don’t know the underground world may not understand why common items that can be bought everywhere in the surface world become so scarce underground, just separated by a layer of soil and rock. [..com]

In fact, have you ever seen wanted criminals shopping openly on the commercial street?

Yes, although the residents of the underground world are not necessarily criminals or wanted criminals, they are usually not a race that is popular among the surface residents, because their race itself, in the eyes of the surface residents, is a thief, a liar, a robber and a criminal, so they refuse to contact them, let alone sell items to them.

This puts the underground residents who clearly live in the city in a embarrassing situation of not being able to obtain survival materials, which leads to them needing an agent to raise and purchase materials for them, and even if they are exploited from them, they will be helpless.

Wutong doesn't know much about the situation of the underground world. After all, mages who focus on academic and arcane research will not store relevant information in the large library of the Vienne College. However, from Zara's retelling, Wutong and others have a relatively complete understanding of the situation in the underground world of Fairhaven City.

There are many gathering areas like the abandoned square in the underground abandoned city, which is just one of them. Most of these underground markets are created by agents of black market exchanges organized by surface forces and authorized by agents.

It is said that almost every organization walking in the dark will basically place its main body in the underground world to avoid the danger of clearing out from Andele's official, thus forming a dark kingdom that is beyond the jurisdiction of Andele's royal family.

This dark kingdom is basically composed of,,, and, and bad merchants.

Who are the members of these forces? Criminals, robbers, and even a large number of spies from other countries! Of course, the residents of the underground world are still the poor who cannot survive on the surface.

They grow, process and produce various contraband products here, such as poisons and military supplies, destroy and harm taboo products, such as those used by Zara before!

These things are all items that the royal family of the Principality of Andele explicitly prohibited from production and trading. In the underground world, they are produced in large quantities in black workshops, black factories, and dark alchemy centers, and then secretly flow into the hands of personnel from various surface organizations through agents of the black market exchange.

After Wutong and the others followed Zara into the black market exchange, they found that many shops and stalls were like selling bread, thunder stones, strong acid bottles, blazing glue, tear-hanging bottles, whistling bottles, flash balls, soundless powders... and various strange types of poisons with different functions were placed directly on the stalls for sale.

These things are not visible even in the highest-end alchemy supplies store in Fairhaven City. They are not sold, nor are they not made without alchemists. Instead, the Alchemist Guild and the Mage Guild are strictly controlled by Andele. They are not allowed to sell related prohibited products to civilians, adventurers and mercenaries, just because they are afraid that if there is any equipment, it will cause serious unrest.

However, adventurers and mercenaries who use their lives to fight for life face terrible monsters and beasts all day long, so they naturally don’t care about any bans. Therefore, this type of contraband is still very marketable among the adventurers and mercenaries on Mercenary Street in Fairhaven City. At critical moments, these things can turn a battle situation around or save their own lives.

Therefore, with the huge consumer market of adventurers and mercenaries on Mercenary Street, there will naturally be this underground industrial chain, which will inevitably support a large number of people. Those who work for underground black workshops, black factories, and dark alchemy laboratories will use their lives to exchange for food that can barely support themselves.

These good things almost flowed out of Wutong's saliva when they saw them. They couldn't help but sweep them crazyly. Although they were just low-level alchemy products of quality, these alchemy products could not be configured without corresponding alchemy formulas and alchemy formulas.

Wutong’s purpose of buying these things is not just for use. He intends to conduct reverse research on these and products and crack the alchemy formulas and alchemy formulas of these alchemy products. Don’t forget that he now has a special identity: a person with a title, and it’s no problem to independently develop new alchemy products, let alone crack some low-level alchemy products.

Medium and high-level alchemy products may be more difficult, but low-level products, with their current abilities, may be reversely researched.

Therefore, the value of these alchemy products does not lie in themselves, but in creativity. As long as Wutong studies the alchemy formulas and formulas of these products thoroughly, she can study other similar products according to her own ideas and as long as she complies with the rules. This is her special ability: development!

Although it is in the "place of origin." However, the price of these alchemy products is not cheap. A bottle of 1st-level strong acid bottle costs 10 gold coins, while a bottle of 1st-level fire glue costs 20 gold coins. The blasting stones that Wutong has used are 30 gold coins per. Of course, the blasting stones sold here are not as powerful or safe as Wutong has used.

As for the one-time consumables, these things are a bit expensive, but for adventurers and mercenaries who have lived through life and death, the price is still acceptable compared to their own lives. Therefore, the prices obtained from the black market exchange of underground waste city will be doubled or even doubled or tripled as soon as they are brought back to the surface!

Seeing Wutong buying these dangerous alchemy products, Zara's face seemed to be very bad, and even urged Wutong with some anxiety. However, Wutong and Ling Yue Shuangxue seemed to be in a hurry and slowly plundered each stall on the black market exchange, as if they were planning to buy all the places!

Wutong kept taking out a large amount of gold coins from her small wallet at her waist, and the flow of water fell into the pockets of the owners of the stalls that were selling, and the large amount of gold coins also alarmed the managers of the black market exchange.

"A young mage? Oh, no! He is still a young Baron! This is really strange!"

A thin old human man, wearing a gray robe, appeared in front of Wutong with two bear goblin guards and two orc bodyguards. A surprised expression appeared in his venomous triangle eyes: "It's really a ghost! A nobleman came to the underground abandoned city? Is the Andele royal family planning to arrange the venue for the garden party here recently?"

"So, OK!"

The old man of Viper smiled strangely: "Young Baron, please tell me, from where you ran into the 'Fel's Abandoned City'? Or, Ander's Knights of the Swordsman have already arranged a team outside and are planning to attack our poor territory?"

"No! No need to worry, I'm not interested in exposing you, I'm just passing by and investigating some things, just pretend we don't exist." Wutong replaced all the gold coins left in her pocket with alchemy products, and pierced her pocket with satisfaction, turned around to face the old man of poisonous snake.

"Investigate the matter?"

The old man poisonous snake looked at Wutong and Ling Yue Shuangxue beside him suspiciously, and seemed to understand, nodded clearly: "Is it for the zombie fever?"

He looked at Wutong and said in surprise: "Are you a new trialist? Well, only these trialists who have not entered Fairhaven recently are so unruly!"

The old man muttered, "I don't like unruly guys, but I like you trialists, because only you outside trialists, are as unconventional as those poor people living in the dark, but they are very good dealers. Lord Baron, what do you want to do when you come here?"

Wutong and Ling Yueshuangxue are so embarrassed. The old man seemed to have the habit of talking to himself. Before they could say anything, he talked to himself for a long time.

"I'm not planning to do anything. You know, the plague has been a headache recently. We happened to have received a task to investigate the source of the plague. We accidentally entered the underground abandoned city. We unexpectedly found that there are a lot of good things here! That's it."

Wutong shrugged. The trialists were not honest. Although they were reluctant to admit it, the players were like this. What camps, good and evil, and what did these things have to do with the players who came to play the game? They only care about whether it is beneficial to their own strength. From a certain perspective, it is really just like what this old man of poisonous snake said, players are all guys with no moral integrity.

"So?"

The old man stared at Wutong for a while and nodded: "Then I can only welcome you, Lord Baron, I have to say that among a group of young boys, you can actually get the award from the Andel royal family. It is simply a miracle to become a baron at such a young age!"

He stared at Wutong with admiration for a long time. He rubbed the neatly trimmed white and short beards on his chin, thinking: It seems that the new nobles who do not reject underground forces are quite worth investing?"

As he talked to himself, the old man from the Viper Eye suddenly stroked Wutong with his hands and gave a noble ceremony: "I will formally introduce myself. Baron Yolana Dee Cannis of the Cannis family is responsible for managing the Cannis family's business in Fairhaven City and managing her personal finances for Miss Yolana."

"Cannes family?" Wutong was startled, and she didn't expect to meet someone on such an occasion!

Although the other party was not a nobleman himself, but just a noble housekeeper, Wutong quickly returned the ceremony with a nobleman and introduced himself: ", Wutong.Winen College."

Although there is no difference between the two parties, Wutong is, and the other party is just the butler of the baron, Wutong is just a new noble without any power, while the other party is a hereditary baron who covers industries and businesses of several countries. Even a butler has a power and status in Fairhaven City, which is far from what Wutong can look up to.

But Wutong's condition is a bit special. In terms of age, he is just a young man who has just reached the age of adulthood and has already obtained a title based on his own ability. In addition, the status of a wizard of Viennehn Academy is clearly the honor obtained by the Principality of Andele, which focuses on cultivating mages. In comparison, his identity is more valuable than his identity.

Because as long as there is no status and talent and ability that meet the rank, Wutong can obtain the same or even higher aristocratic title in any country. After all, not every country and region, like Andele, who produces wizards, has regarded wizards as a specialty.

Stark Donnie noticed that Wutong did not bring her surname or family name when she introduced her, and she couldn't help but smile more kindly, making his scathing face look even more scary.

If you don’t have a surname or family, it proves that the young mage noble in front of you has not yet undergone “bloodline verification.” This means that he is still just a “self-righteous person.” Investing in him at this time is much more valuable than waiting for him to become famous before making friends with him, and the “price ratio” is also higher.

"I have to say that Baron Wutong, as a new noble, does not seem to reject the gray career. Compared with those young people whose brains are burned by honor and the New Year, you seem to be more rational and more adventurous..."

Old Man Stark expressed an admiring expression: "I have to congratulate you for not being brainwashed by the Andel royal family. This means you have a good teacher who protects you very well." The old man who looked very deceitful said something Wutong didn't understand very much.

He didn't seem to be planning to explain. Stark turned his head and looked at Zara, who seemed frustrated for some reason, and nodded: "Okay, don't disturb the Cannes family's friends, leave here!"

Zara took a few steps back in fear, looked at Wutong and Ling Yue Shuangxue in disappointment, and turned away in a disgust.

"Wait!" Wutong suddenly shouted.

Stark looked at Wutong with interest, but didn't say anything. Wutong smiled: "I still need this 'morphometric' friend to take me to the nearby underground reservoir."

Zara was frightened and looked at Wutong in horror, and Stark laughed: "It seems that I am troublesome. Then, on behalf of the Baron Yolana Di Cannis of our Cannis family, I invite you and your friends to attend the banquet of our Cannis family. The next evening, I hope that your Excellency Baron will be sure to visit you."

As he said that, he handed over a very strange dragon-shaped family badge, which was an iron hammer, iron felt embedded on a shield-shaped gear plate, and an exquisite blood-eyed mechanical cow head. On the back of the badge, an abstract dragon-shaped rune was engraved, which was unique to the Cannies family.

Without saying anything, Wutong took the clan emblem handed over by the other party without hesitation. Owning this is equivalent to becoming a VIP of the Cannes family. Not only is it regarded as a friend of the Cannes family, but it can also enjoy a 25% discount and discount in any store and industry under the Cannes family, and is allowed to use their family's intelligence system and transportation channels.

People have made such a clear statement that they have solicited and not accepting the other party's kindness is equivalent to despising the other party. Wutong is not yet 20 years old and is considered to be humiliating them because she does not accept good things given by others. Although he has a group of very awesome teachers, there is no need to become enemies with the other party, a wealthy family with transnational power.

Wutong turned her head and said to Zara who was tremblingly, "Your friend is here?"

Zara shook her head in a frustration, looked outside the black market exchange, Wutong nodded and said politely to Stark: "Then let go first."

"Okay, it seems that you don't need my help, so please don't forget to visit our Cannes family castle." Old man Stark smiled and personally sent Wutong out of the black market exchange.

"Go and investigate the information about this new mage noble. Baron Yolana will be interested in this little guy..." Stark waved to the group who was walking away with a smile. In the corner not far away, a shadow suddenly twisted for a moment, but soon returned to peace.

"...What's going on?" Ling Yue Shuangxue looked at Zara, who was walking in front of them with a dismay.

"What's going on?" Wutong was excitedly playing with the badge in her hand: the secondary creation dragon pattern badge: +1, +1, +2, +5, +2.

He glanced at Wutong's hand with metal texture. This thing looked like a silver-gray metal badge. The head was covered with iron felt, and the mechanical bull head of the iron hammer looked a little ugly. Ling Yue Shuangxue was very blocked and moved her eyes away without interest, and said in suspicion: "What happened just now? You talked to that deceitful old aboriginal man for a long time, just like saying riddles. What does it mean? What does the Cannis family? What is the dragon pattern family? What is the baron? What does it mean? And what is the matter with Zara?"

Don't understand?" Wutong was stunned for a moment, but still whispered to Zara's back who was walking in front of them, explaining: "Didn't you also feel something wrong with Zara just now?"

"Yes, but I just think something is wrong with her, but I don't know what's wrong there." Ling Yue Shuangxue's face was full of question marks.

"Okay, this one has to start from the beginning, right? Wood? Or, Zara?" Wutong laughed and said to Zara who was dejected in front of him: "You have a very tear-jerking story, which I believed at one time."

He took the two of them into the entrance of the underground canal of the underground reservoir, Zara turned around and said depressedly: "You won, Master Mage, how did you find out?"

Wutong looked at Zara, who was still a beautiful and cute half-elf girl: "Aren't you going to let us see what you are?"

"If you don't feel scared."

Zara turned her head and shouted into the dark underground canal: "Okay! Wood, come out, don't hide."

In the darkness, a huge yellow spider with a round table size and a terrible spike full of thorny hair fell from the ceiling of the underground canal and made a heavy sound of landing. After landing, it quickly changed into a person, but it was exactly the same as Zara, and it looked like a half-elf-like girl.

Zara himself, his face and body were like mist, fell into a haze, and then showed his terrible original appearance. At first glance, it looked like an alien in a science fiction movie, with a round and hairless head, and only a pair of yellow eyes with long pupils like toads, without ears, nose and mouth.

The slender body is very thin, which makes it look like a mummy, but it is not as dry as a mummy. The skin is strangely gray-green, and a large number of blood vessels are directly spread on its skin, as if it has been peeled. Although it is covered with redness, there is no obvious sign.

"Okay, this is my true nature. Master, what are you going to deal with us?" Zara's voice rang directly in the air, sounding a little buzzing, which surprised Wutong. She couldn't imagine how the creature without a mouth made a sound.

Ling Yue Shuangxue was indeed scared and pulled Little Loli back several steps and hid behind Wutong. Although Wutong was not tall and burly, he was a man after all.

"Please deal with you that I need to ask you for some mental damages that have been deceived?"

Wutong hugged her arms and thought for a while, suddenly she smiled with a "alien" who turned half-elf girl into and a "half-elf girl" who turned big spider into.
