166 No wind and waves
After saying this, Locke Subaru did not rush to take them out, but asked Chen Xiansong and the other two to wait. He went to the next clothing store and made four black robes with hoods. In addition, he was holding four very ugly white masks in his hand.
"Are you asking us to be thieves or assassins?" Chen Xiansong took a mask from the other party, flipped over and over and looked at it for a while, and then put it on his face.
Boh, the little guy immediately sprayed out the things in his mouth, and then laughed: "Teacher, it's so funny that you wear this thing."
Chen Xiansong pressed the mask on the little guy's face and then smiled himself. This thing is indeed full of joy when worn. It is a mask and black. It seems that the place where Locke Subaru is about to take them to seems to be unable to reveal his identity. However, he remembered what Locke Subaru said just now that he needed identity to enter, but now he has to wear a mask and black clothes again. What's going on?
Chen Xiansong expressed his questions.
"Get on the car first, I'll explain it to you when I get on the car." Locke Subaru greeted his groom and asked him to remove the family emblem from the strange car.
The carriage carried four people toward the center of the city. Although the Imperial City was not as large as the royal city in terms of scale, it was still the top and most numerous big city in Kate. The place Locke Subaru wanted to take them to go a little far away. If you walk, you would not be able to get there when it was completely dark.
"The place we are going is actually an underground industry created by your soul-thinking people." Locke Subaru sat opposite Chen Xiansong, a little admiring and envious: "I don't know how your soul-thinking people's heads grow. You can actually come up with such things. The tax revenue of that place alone is worth the sum of three or four big cities."
"Where is that?" Chen Xiansong asked.
Lock Subaru moved his seat. He sat more comfortably and then explained.
It turned out that the place they were going to was an underground black market. The royal city was too big, with many dignitaries and nobles. Some things were not convenient to be displayed in the sky, and they did not dare to let the royal family catch their feet. But what should I do if some private shady transactions can only be carried out. For this reason, many people lost their heads and many big families fell into ashes.
More than a hundred years ago, a soul-thinking person was also a big family. He felt that this would not work, so he used his own resources to open such an underground black market on the edge of the royal city, namely the Emperor's Moon City... and it turned out to be out of control and became popular. The royal family received news soon after that. He wanted to eradicate it, but was secretly obstructed by the Soul-thinking person Association and many noble families, so he had to leave it alone.
After Locke Subaru explained, the carriage also arrived at its destination.
The door of the destination was very popular, with pedestrians and vendors everywhere. The four of them put on black robes and masks in the car. At this time, Chen Xiansong found that the little guy's black robes were too long. He asked Locke Subaru: "Do you have scissors here?"
Lock Subaru shook his head: "Which aristocrat would have nothing to do in his carriage to prepare these tools that only those who were subordinates would use."
Bai Min walked over. He held the little guy's robe and added a sharp three-edged military spear with his right hand. He gently stroked it on it, and the excess fabric was cut off, and the military spear was retracted back into her sleeve. Seeing this, Locke Subaru couldn't help but tsk. Every time he went to Bai Min, he would always feel like he was a soft girl and subconsciously ignored the fact that she was a Sun God servant. After all, Bai Min's appearance was too deceptive.
The four of them got off the carriage... Their dress was weird, and they should have been watched. However, the people around them just glanced at them and went to do their own things.
In front of Chen Xiansong, there was a gate that was very dark and dark, and the light seemed to be unable to penetrate.
Lock Subaru made a gesture to signal the other three to follow. He stepped into the gate. First, his eyes turned dark, and then his eyes soon got used to the darkness. He looked around and when he entered, the width of the aisle was at least thirteen meters, and the length was unclear. It was too dark in the distance and he couldn't see clearly.
The roof was also very high, and there was a large stone pillar supporting the roof every few meters on both sides. After walking a few steps, I heard the sound of wheels rolling. More than a dozen human-powered carts were pushed out from the left, covered with black tarpaulin. The coolies who pulled the cart worked very hard, naked on their upper body, and the muscles in their bodies were tight. Even in the dark, sweat could still be seen illuminating their solid muscles.
The three of them went to the side and waited for more than a dozen trucks to pass by, Locke said in a strange tone: "It's so heavy! It's either weapons or armor on it. It's not surprising that there are arms trades in the black market, but the amount is really too large. If the royal family finds it, even if they don't die, they will have to peel off the skin. Who is so bold that they dares to transport it outside openly."
Chen Xiansong didn't care, and the little guy didn't care. She only cared about whether there was any food inside Jiangxi.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, it has nothing to do with me anyway." Locke Subaru patted his head a few times, and excessive thinking made him start to have migraines.
Several people continued to walk forward. When passing a side door, Chen Xiansong found a man in black robe standing there. The man gestured. Locke Subaru raised his hand and bent it strangely a few times. The man in black robe nodded and left. Locke Subaru explained as he walked: "The man was the guard here just now... If outsiders want to enter here, they must introduce him with an acquaintance. My gesture just now meant: I brought a few new friends in, you can prepare it."
"Preparation?" Chen Xiansong was very curious.
"You will understand later." Locke Subaru smiled and said, "Please continue to follow me."
The four of them walked forward for about forty more than 40 years, as if they were at the right end. There was a staircase in front of them, which could be up or down.
There seemed to be a dungeon below, and a vague noise penetrated from the entrance of the stairs. The four of them waited in front of the stairs for a while, and a black man wearing a white skeleton mask hurried down from the upstairs. In such a gloomy and dark environment, wearing such a mask was really scary.
The little guy subconsciously hid behind Chen Xiansong. Logically speaking, Bai Min is extremely powerful. Compared to him, Chen Xiansong is as weak as an ant, but the little guy hid behind Chen Xiansong at the first time. It has nothing to do with strength. It is just an instinct.
The visitor walked up to the four people and made a gesture of invitation.
Chen Xiansong followed him and walked to the left wall. The skeleton-faced man reached out and pressed it a few times. A secret door opened. They walked in. The door was closed and the oil lamp lit up.
The visitor took off the skull mask on his face. It was a black-haired and brown-colored male. He said embarrassedly: "Sorry. Some things on it were not handled just now, and it took some time. Four friends, please take off your mask and report your identity, so I can also make a record."
"Locke Subaru. Qingcheng City."
He simply reported his name and place name, but the man in black robe smiled: "Son of the City Lord. That's right. I've seen you several times. How about it? What are you going to buy when you come to us this time? The widow you took away last time is still as good as you like?"
"Ahem." Locke coughed twice.
The man in black shrugged, knowing that he was talking too much. He turned to look at Chen Xiansong. Just as he was about to speak, he exclaimed, looked at the little guy and Bai Min again after a while. He seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly took out a book from his arms, quickly turned a few pages, then took a breath of air conditioning, hurriedly saluted, and said, "I didn't expect that the three of you actually came to the local area and didn't think of three of you as soon as possible. I'm really sorry."
"Do you know us?" Chen Xiansong looked at the books in his hand, and he could vaguely see his own avatar on it.
"This is one of the industries that the association secretly supports." The man in black robe said with a little pride: "Our association is the master here. As a soul-thinking person, you are naturally one of the masters. Since you are the master, your information must be available here. But I didn't expect that you would be so fast."
Lock Subaru looked a little lost. He was the only son, and he would inherit Qingxi City from now on. With such an identity, he did not need to look at the faces of many people except for the major noble families in the royal city and members of the royal family. However, when he met a soul-thinking person, he felt that he was naturally lower.
"We are planning to stroll here. Do you have any rules to pay attention to?" Chen Xiansong asked: "After all, we are new to us, and we don't understand some things. It would be bad if we conflict with the rules here."
The man in black robe was a little nervous when he knew Chen Xiansong's identity, but after hearing this, he completely relaxed: "Just wear a mask and a black robe and don't recognize him. In addition, you are a member of the association. If you like something, even if you offer a price directly, as long as it does not exceed 3,000 gold coins, the association will reimburse you in the name of "knowledge and construction of experimental objects", so please don't worry about money."
"So that's the case, the benefits of the association are really good." Chen Xiansong nodded to show his understanding, and then said, "We will rush back to Heiyan City tomorrow, so let's browse this wonderful place first. Let's take a step forward, thank you."
The man in black robe dared not say anything.
After Chen Xiansong left the house, the man in black robe brought out a quill from beside him and wrote under Chen Xiansong's avatar: approachable, not arrogant, and can be friendly with the lower class.
After writing this, he added to the little guy's avatar: I haven't had a direct contact, I don't know the details.
Then he left the secret door, followed the stairs to the third floor, knocking on a luxurious wooden door.
A middle-aged man sat in the room with his eyes utilizing a sword, his nose tip is like an eagle hook, his lips are thin and wide and long, and he exudes an aggressive meaning.
"What, Chen Xiansong is here too?" Hearing the report of the man in black, the middle-aged man closed his hands and placed them under his nose to block his mean lips, and then thought deeply. After a while, he slowly said: "According to the information I received, he should leave tomorrow. If he doesn't get in the way, he doesn't care about him. If he dares to stop him, kill him. At that time, do it cleaner and don't let those people in the association find their hurt feet."
"But there is a sun god servant next to him, which is not easy to deal with." The man in black robe bent over and said.
