"So...someone found this place?"
In the boundless darkness, a voice that seemed to come from the abyss sounded dullly: "You actually let him go?"
"That, that..." Another uneasy voice replied in a whisper: "We...he...we are just two homeless people..."
"Okay, Master Kentai, don't blame them."
Another frivolous voice was sharp and harsh, slowly coming from another direction in the darkness: "These are extraordinary times. Don't be too nervous because of these disturbances. Besides..."
He changed his tone: "They are just two refugees."
The silence lasted for a moment in the darkness because of the appearance of these words. The body of the young man in the corner, which no one could see, began to shake involuntarily. It seemed that the previous words had caused something extremely frightening.
The memories came back to him. After a few breaths, he raised his arms like chaff and stretched out towards the source of the sound: "No, don't expel us, we are just..."
"I know I know."
The dull voice at the beginning said slowly: "Even rats have their own uses, and you are even more useful to me, so... I will not use your lives to make up for your crimes for the time being."
"Thank you, thank you, sir!"
In the low laughter on the other side of the darkness, the boy's voice swayed up and down with some movements of begging for mercy: "We, we will definitely try our best..."
call--
A sudden sound of breaking wind crossed the darkness and hit the young man on the head with an unimaginable speed, causing him to have a bloody head. While flying backwards, it also knocked away the nonsense that the young man wanted to continue to be grateful for.
They were all beaten back. The smell of blood and the boy's painful howl immediately filled every corner of the darkness, but not long after, these things were all suppressed by the frightening aura brought by that dull voice.
Lived: "I used to... also be a person who entered this city as a refugee."
"I have seen the pity of you people, and I have also seen the abomination of you people."
"If you don't want to arouse my disgust with this attitude again..." A breath that was so terrifying that it was hard to breathe suddenly appeared as the words came out, slowly covering another corner in the darkness:
"Then after you go out, think carefully...how you can become more useful."
"Now, get out of here!"
"Yes Yes!"
The rolling and chaotic sounds immediately appeared in the dark corner, and then got farther and farther as the young man left, and finally disappeared in the distance of the passage. Another frivolous person who was previously shocked by the frightening breath
The voice slowly exhaled at this time, and then asked his own question: "I didn't expect you to be so ruthless and treat your compatriots like this..."
"Do not make jokes."
The dull voice gasped for a while, and then spoke again: "Things like identity are not important to us, as long as... we have a convincing reason."
"You...just used that kind of power."
The frivolous voice slowly lowered, with some seriousness in the tone: "Do you want to absorb the two of them and join our organization?"
"……Hey Hey."
The dull voice was silent again for a while, and then he laughed coldly: "I just... suddenly wanted to experiment."
"How far can so-called human nature be distorted?"
"Hey, if there is a simple method, you don't have to use the difficult one."
The frivolous voice let out a breath of disdain, and then continued: "So... what to do next, that Martin just now, that person seems to want to come back..."
"That's just right."
Two red lights suddenly lit up in the darkness, which were a pair of eyes suddenly opened by a certain black figure: "So that I can see which adventurer has such a great ability..."
"Can find it on our heads."
***************************
"Welcome! This is Maggie's nightclub, sir... Hey, this gentleman is a stranger!"
"Ahahaha, uh... I am an adventurer from Tania's Fool Adventure Group. I came here accidentally, so I wanted to come in and take a look..."
"Ah! It turns out he is an adventurer! Our store manager likes adventurers the most!"
In the corner of the underground black market, in front of the fancy building that Duan Qing passed before, two women with good looks and gorgeous clothes walked forward enthusiastically, one on the left and the other on the right, and gently wrapped up Duan Qing's body as he approached the door.
: "If this is your first time to visit the store, we can specially arrange a sister to introduce you! I wonder what kind of taste you like, sir..."
"Ah? Uh, um..." Duan Qing, who was slightly nervous, scratched his head and ears for a while, then as if he recalled something, he acted like a young man: "In that case, then... give me any one
Just be obedient."
"...Sir's request is really strange."
Under the gaze of the guards in black, the two women looked at each other in front of Duan Qing, and then pulled Duan Qing into the door of the building: "Then please wait a moment, sir."
...Our sisters will be here soon."
"……Thanks."
Seeing the two women slowly leaving with reluctant expressions, Duan Qing shook his head with a bit of laughter, and then turned his gaze to the scene inside the building - just like what he saw outside.
The soft and suggestive lights swayed slowly, flashing back and forth inside the shop like a tavern. Messy tables and chairs containing all kinds of information were randomly placed here.
Around the large living room, on some tables in the middle are placed various things left by the guests who have left. In addition to the coins and glasses of wine that Duan Qing recognized, the remaining eye-catching pills and
Even though he was well-informed, he couldn't identify the purpose of the strange tools. There were only a few scantily clad female *** members still wandering around, and a certain rhythm coming from the corners of the hall from time to time.
His breathing and chanting still reminded Duan Qing of his sensitive consciousness and provoked his fragile nerves.
Of course, there was another reason that made his eyelids jump, and that was the beast-like light rising from every corner of the living room because of his appearance.
"It's such a dangerous place." Duan Qing said to himself, and then patted his face: "Hey, where am I? Where in the black market is this not like this..."
He shook his fist, then ignored the probing glances handed to him from every corner, and walked to the bar counter that resembled a tavern: "Here's a glass of ale."
"Four hundred and eighty gold coins, sir." The tower-like bartender stood quietly behind the dirty bar, looking at the adventurer in front of him with malicious eyes: "A glass of ale."
"What? Why is it so expensive?" Duan Qing exclaimed, "What are you doing? Is it ale made of gold?"
"You can't change the price specifically set by Madam Maggie." The hostility in the Iron Tower man's eyes became more and more intense: "This is the price here. If you buy it, accept it. If you don't buy it..."
"Just get out of here! Hahahaha!"
A customer sitting near the bar suddenly laughed and shouted: "Where do you think this is, son? A place where you can't even afford ale is not a place where adventurers like you can run wild!"
"Yes, yes! If you dare to be picky, do you not want to live anymore?"
"He actually ignored Tessa and Terri's warm reception. It's just... Hey, could it be that he didn't respond at all? Is he not a man in the first place?"
"Don't blame him. After all, he is still a young child who has just arrived here, so we should... ravage him harder!"
"Yes, yes! Hahahaha!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
As the shadows everywhere teased each other, the whole nightclub erupted into loud laughter, suppressing the warnings of the nearby guards, the grim smiles of the bartenders, and Duan Qing's sighs, as if this
The adventurer who just arrived here has become the biggest joke in the world. However, this scene did not seem to have any impact on Duan Qing. He shook his head and sat down in front of the bartender again, and kowtowed gently.
He looked at the dirty tabletop and looked at the tower man in front of him with a sound so low that only two people could hear it: "I don't want to default on my bill, so... you should have a cheaper bar?"
"No more." Tie Ta looked at Duan Qing's face as if he were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered: "This store doesn't accept credit either."
"I know, I know." Duan Qing stretched out his hand and said, "So...do you have any kind of wine here?"
The bartender who looked like an iron tower did not answer, but looked at him quietly, as if he could not understand the meaning of Duan Qing's question.
"For example... Do you have any of Greenstone Village's fine wines?"
Duan Qing said with a smile, and at the same time reached into his arms and took out a green bottle: "Do you have such fine wine here?"
"You need to know, Zi."
As if he was a little impatient with the other party's performance, the bartender finally lost his smile and said: "We are not a pub that sells alcohol here, so... we will not accept provocations like this."
"Yes, Chu'er! Do you really think this is an ordinary tavern?"
"If you want to drink, go out! Don't disturb the gentlemen's fun, you hear me?"
"Or... you want to taste a different wine? I have it here!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I have it too, but you have to wait a moment until I feel it... hahahaha!"
"Hahahahaha——"
Amidst the laughter that broke out again, there was a sudden scream. It was the sound of the guest who had just finished that sentence, who was struck by a sword and fell on his back. Amidst the sudden change of tension,
The sound of swords being unsheathed was heard all around the living room. Several yelling guests pushed away the beautiful woman next to them and stood up from the ground with their bodyguards. However, Duan Qing had no time to pay attention to them.
He reacted - he clapped his hands, turned his body halfway on the seat in the air, and then the next moment the iron bar in the hand of the man behind the iron tower grazed the back of his head, he struck out with the handle of the knife.
Knocked on the opponent's door.
Amidst the sounds of glass and wooden shelves breaking one after another, the bartender snorted a nosebleed and lay down on his back. He knocked over a lot of shelves with wine glasses before stopping. He staggered and covered his nose.
His eyes gradually turned blood red, and veins popped out in the hand that was holding the iron rod tightly: "You ungrateful person..."
"Catch him!" he yelled angrily, "I want to do it myself..."
His howling stopped, because the guards around him seemed to have no intention of moving at all, and the aggrieved guests around the living room seemed to suddenly quiet down for some reason - in the darkness deep in the tavern
, a scantily dressed but very fresh woman walked slowly out of the place where the two enchanting sisters disappeared, and then while looking around, she walked to the front of the bar: "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing..."
"..."
The woman didn't say anything more, but looked steadily at the man who looked like an iron tower. The latter stood panting for a while, then slowly lowered his head, and then walked back to the back of the bar dejectedly, as if
He stood up again as if nothing had happened: "Huh...so, what do you need?"
"...you may not give me what I need."
Duan Qing shook his head and then turned to look at the woman who appeared in front of him: "But first...who are you?"
"Oh, Tessa told me...someone needs an obedient woman to accompany him." The woman showed a faint smile: "So I'm here."
"You?" Duan Qing's eyes widened: "With all due respect, every bit of air here reminds me... you are not an ordinary woman."
"Those are the rules set by Queen Maggie." The woman replied calmly: "Now that I'm here, you are already a guest here, and discrimination and abuse are not allowed as guests here."
"So... that was actually a test, wasn't it?" Duan Qing smiled and nodded, then looked up and down at the woman in front of him again: "Have I been approved?"
"I am your female companion." The female leader replied: "Although it is only temporary, but..."
She walked forward, sat next to Duan Qing, then stroked her temples, revealing a bright earring hanging on her ear: "If possible, I still hope that we... can spend a beautiful time together.
It’s an unforgettable time.”
"What do you need?" The woman moved her temples back and asked with a smile.
"I need..." Duan Qing hesitated for a moment, and then asked the question that he had been brewing for a long time.
"Can I ask for some information?"
