Chapter 30: The Underground Black Market

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has been three years since Wright became a disciple of the Holy Magister Cromwell.

Wright has also reached the peak of a level six magician, and even his physical fitness and fighting spirit have been polished to the level five.

In terms of magic control, Wright can easily compress the level 5 advanced fireball technique by one third of the volume, and its power burst is no less than level 6 magic. Even if it is level 6 magic, he can easily change the running direction and speed of the magic flight!

However, Wright felt that he still had an insurmountable barrier from level 7.

It has been two months since it reached the extreme of Level 6 and its mental power has been increasing slowly.

I felt as firm as Wright, and I couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

After drinking and having enough food, Carl suddenly said, "By the way, have you heard of the cage war?"

Wright and Maui looked at each other.

Burke nodded and said, "I heard that this is the kind of person who traps the strong humans and monsters, or humans and humans in a small space, fighting each other. It is a special ring match, but it is much bloody. Sometimes you are not allowed to admit defeat and have to fight to the end!"

"I've heard of the underground area of ​​the imperial capital!" Carl said mysteriously: "I only found out after taking over some of my father's forces. There is an organization there holding a cage war. Are you interested in going to see it?"

Maui frowned: "It sounds like it's very bloody!"

"A man must be bloody!" Burke didn't care, "I really have to see the truth!"

"You can take a look!" Laitian replied.

"Then go and have a look!" Carl said excitedly: "Follow me, the entrance is in the West End, and you still have to walk a while."

In many people's eyes, the underground black market in the imperial capital has a sense of mystery. After all, this area is located in the Lower City area in space, but the entrance is in the commercial area. It is said that the black market is actually in the hollow underground in the Lower City area.

Of course, there are often no rumors that are exaggerated, but sometimes even more exaggerated.

Although Wright, Maui and Burke each have their own opportunities. Wright is a disciple of the Sanctuary, Maui is the heir to the earl, and Burke is the only one among the three who has experienced adventures. Not all the children who are ignorant of the world or ignorant greenhouse flowers, but they have only heard of the underground black market in the imperial capital.

Seeing Carl taking them into a 'Golden and Brilliant', the three of them looked a little strange. It was a casino. However, Carl made a 'stop voice' gesture.

However, Carl led the way in front. After entering the casino, he talked with a casino manager for a few words and followed him to a basement.

The staff bowed respectfully, then said goodbye and left, leaving four people behind.

Carl took out a key and inserted it under a light in the basement, and a stone door slowly opened.

After the four walked into the door, there was a long narrow passage. Looking at the strange eyes of several brothers, Carl explained: "The underground black market is indeed located in the underground area of ​​the Lower City, but it is not a natural underground hole. It is dug out by merchants in the West District. It was initially to avoid paying taxes, but later it was step by step.

It has developed to what it is today.”

"More than half of the large stores, casinos and hotels on the west side have secret passages connecting the underground black market, which is actually a semi-public secret!"

"Now, the underground black market actually serves as the major forces to exchange various contraband products. Any shop you see may be supported by our Magic Academy, or a duke or even the royal family."

The four of them walked while communicating and soon saw a light.

"Ah, this is the underground black market. I thought it was a very dark place!" Maui sighed. Indeed, the environment of this underground black market is not dark at all, but it is brightly lit, similar to the college auditorium at night.

Compared to Wright and the other three, Carl is much more familiar with this place.

As soon as we entered, several businessmen approached politely and saluted Carl one after another.

"Master Carl!" The bald businessman wearing a blue burqa greeted him enthusiastically.

"Mr. Ruthy!"

"Mr. Mark." The elderly gentleman with a often beard nodded implicitly.

"Vissue Destaya!"

Carl dealt with these businessmen, while Wright and three other friends watched the show.

"Carl, it seems that you have a great face here!" Wright chuckled softly.

"It's not that my father has divided some of the power to me... When we become powerful magicians in the future, relying on our own strength, then face will be ours." Carl said seriously.

"Okay, OK, Carl quickly take us to see the Battle of the Cage!" Maui urged.

"What's the hurry? The Cage Battle was held at 6 o'clock in the afternoon and was held in the 'Travel Theater'. There were still three hours left. We walked aside and took a look. There were a lot of interesting things in the underground black market."

"It's a pity that I can only see it, I don't have the money to buy it." Maui rolled her eyes.

"Don't look at me, I don't have much money." Burke grunted, "I can't make much money when going out to take risks and experience."

Wright didn't say anything, he was also a pauper.

Among the four, Carl is the only one who is richer, but everyone has self-esteem and it is impossible to spend Carl's money to buy things.

But even if you don’t spend money, there are many things to see in the black market.

"Several respected young masters, are you looking at my goods?" A businessman who looked big and poopy showed a despicable smile and greeted Wright and four others.

Behind him were iron cages of different sizes, each cage with one or several almost barefoot girls.

A few of these girls were waving, looking at Wright and even showing provocative postures. But more of them were numb, and they seemed to lose all their charm in their eyes.

This is a businessman who sells women and girls, a slave vendor.

Carl sighed, ignored the businessman and accelerated to leave the place.

"Carl, most slave traders are illegal..." Wright's tone was a bit serious.

"Most of them are illegal without finding it. After all, there are only prisoners sentenced to long-term sentences and prisoners of war in the war. Look at which women are. But if someone really checks, you will find that they are all legal and they can always find appropriate evidence." Carl shook his head, "It's useless. The benefits of slave trade in mainland China are too great. Not to mention us, even the emperor of the empire can't hinder it. Even if the powerful people in the Holy Land can destroy slave organizations one by one, it is impossible to prevent the emergence of new slave organizations."

"These women sold in the underground black market are considered to be among slaves. They are worth a lot of money. Unless they meet a particularly perverted person, they can still survive safely. The most pitiful thing is those slaves sold to mines who can live for three years and have long fortune telling."

There was a silence. All four of them were considered young people with some passion. Their long-term magic practice was relatively pure in their hearts. They were always sad when they encountered such things that they were not happy but were powerless.

However, the four of them soon recovered. After all, they were powerless, so they stopped thinking too much. They just regarded it as an episode.

The four of them walked around and Wright didn't know much about the West District commercial area, but Maui learned alchemy and Burke went on trial and tried it out. He bought a lot of things in the commercial area. But they also found that the things sold in the black market were very different from the products in the commercial area.

The first is cheap. The price of the same black market is at most 60% to 70% of that of commercial areas.

The second is that about one-third of the goods in the underground black market are illegal.

Of course, there are many types of illegal goods. Some illegal goods are prohibited because they are prohibited, while others have problems with access, or are stolen goods.

For example, Wright and others passed by a pharmacy that looked very whole. In addition to normal medicines, this pharmacy actually sold "Angel Dust". Angel Dust is a drug created by alchemy and has a strong addictive nature and makes users mental disordered. However, it can only be absorbed by magicians during meditation, and it cannot be absorbed by ordinary warriors when taking it.

This drug is notorious among the magicians. If this drug dares to be sold in the West Side, the First Magic Academy will directly send guards and teachers to arrest pharmacy personnel and destroy the drugs.

However, in the underground black market, the pharmacy staff did not shy away from selling it publicly, and even sold it to Wright and others.

Wright and others naturally didn't give him a good look. Burke even wrote down the face of this person and prepared to report it to the college. Although the college would definitely not interfere with internal affairs in the black market, if this person ran outside the black market and was found, he would definitely be arrested and questioned by the college. If "Angel Dust" was found outside the black market, then it would be done.

There are also some products that are obviously from the wrong origin, such as the standard armor of the eight legions of the Empire, such as precious works of art from the royal family. But it is not certain, maybe the military bosses and royal members secretly sold them to make some money.

"It's because of the bad origin, so it's cheap!" Carl said with some emotion: "Many of these underground black market merchants are wanted criminals, but as long as they don't leave, the empire rarely makes things difficult. Of course, this means that the matter is not too big. After all, this black market was established by the empire's forces acquiesced, and it also has the purpose of appeaseing some uncontrolled strong people. If you really get angry with the powerful forces in the empire, the entire black market has been flattened!"

At this moment, the four of them were sitting at the entrance of a tavern hundreds of meters away from the "Traveling Theater". Of course, none of them drank, so they still had to be a little vigilant in the black market.
