"Sir, do you need a guide?"

A crisp childish voice rang in Soya's ear, pulling Soya back from the memory, and smiled slightly: "Can you take me to find a guide?"

"Guide," the boy suddenly became frustrated: "Sorry, sir.?

At this time, another child with a bundle of maps came over: "Sir, are you going to the black market? I can take you to find a guide."

The child selling the map had a dirty face. It took Sawyer a long time to recognize that this was a girl, and she seemed to be a few years younger than the other. She couldn't help but feel a little suspicious: "Oh? Do you know what a guide is?"

After all, the guide is not an obvious identity. If it were the boy just now, Sawyer would believe it. After all, these little guides have some relationship with local local snakes, but the little girl in front of her doesn't seem to know the guide.

"Of course!" The little girl straightened her chest: "My father is the guide!"

"No wonder."

Suoya suddenly realized in his heart and smiled: "Then take me to find your father."

"Sir, please come with me!"

The girl showed a big smile, carried a bundle of maps in her arms behind her back, and jumped in front of her to lead the way.

The so-called guides and black markets are not unique to long-distance cities, but a phenomenon that will naturally occur in all cities that have reached a certain scale, but the names are different.

Unlike the black market in the traditional sense, the black market mentioned here is not an illegal secret market, but a small market with high specifications and strict access standards. Moreover, these black markets are usually secretly controlled by local authorities, so naturally there is no such thing as illegal.

Most of the black markets are very precious treasures that are not qualified for auction. However, like traditional black markets, all the treasures in these secret markets do not ask about their origins, and naturally there will be no appraisal books or other things. Whether you can buy good goods is all bright or not.

High specifications are difficult to enter, and most of them are things that are unknown. Although everyone knows who the owner is behind the scenes, over time, they call these markets a black market.

The position of this black market is not confidential, but it has strong protective power. These forces not only come from the managers of the black market, but also those vested interests who have joined the black market will contribute part of their strength to protect their own interests. Over time, this power will grow bigger and bigger. Some black markets that have been around for a long time, even the strong ones who are half-step legends will have some respect.

In order to determine whether you are qualified to enter the black market, a special profession of guides emerged. Each black market has few guides, usually only three or five, and they all have their own identities. Therefore, finding guides from a certain place can be considered a test.

In addition, there are other assessments, but they are all freely performed by the guide themselves. If you are close friends with a guide, even if you are not qualified to enter, you may get a temporary pass to go to the black market to open your eyes.

However, Suoya was obviously lucky. He found a clue to the guide as soon as he entered the city. I believe that with anything in his private space, he could easily obtain access to a black market from the guide.

Following the little girl all the way through, Sawyer and Serana's eyes gradually became strange. If they walked in this direction, there should be... a slum area ahead?

Although looking at the little girl's outfit, her family background is not very good, but her father, who is a guide, would not live in a slum, no matter how badly he is, he would not live in a slum, right? You know, the slums in these cities are simply inexhaustible places. Poverty breeds sin, and sin makes this land even more poor. This is a place that is trapped in a vicious cycle. Anyone with some ability will not stay in a slum even if he moves outside the city.

Maybe it's on the street behind the slums.

Sawyer thought this way, but the little girl stopped in front of a shabby wooden door: "Sir, we're here."

Before the little girl could knock on the door, a voice came from the room: "Anna, why did you come back so early?"

The wooden door was pushed open from the inside with a creaking sound. A middle-aged man walked out and reached out to touch the little girl's head. Then he looked at Sawy and Serana who were following the little girl.

When the middle-aged man looked at Sawyer and Serana, Sawyer and Serana were also looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with scrutiny eyes.

The middle-aged man in thick linden cloth was very strong. His size was over 1.7 meters and seven meters, making him look like a hard iron pier. He had a round face with a very Brighton characteristic, but his raised eyebrows and stubble on his chin added a bit of heroic and strong atmosphere.

Not an ordinary person, Soya was slightly shocked, and she immediately believed in his identity as the guide. Serana also quietly raised three fingers behind her back, which also made Soya clearly know the strength of the middle-aged man.

However, whether it is the strength of the third awakening or the identity of a guide, it seems that it is somewhat inconsistent with the small and dilapidated house behind the middle-aged man.

You should know that the income of guides is actually very high. Every member who has just obtained the black market access qualification will divide half of the profits obtained by the black market and hand them over to the guides during the first transaction. In the following year of transactions, the black market will also draw half of the profits from them as the income of the guides.

The profit of half a percentage seems to be small, but in terms of the transaction amount in the black market, even the lowest-end transactions have a profit of more than 100 gold coins. Even if a guide only attracts ten people a year, he can live a rich life by taking a commission alone.

Just when Sawyer was confused, the middle-aged man seemed to have judged that Sawyer and Serana were not threatening him. He smiled and turned to open the door: "If you have anything to do, just come in and say it, Anna, go and pour water for your uncle and aunt."

Before he finished speaking, Sawyer and Serana's faces suddenly filled with black lines.

Sawyer: I am so young, you actually asked your little sister to call me uncle?!

Serana: You are so brave that you dare to be the same as me?!

The middle-aged man didn't care about the dissatisfaction on the two of them. After making an invitation gesture, he walked into the room first: "You two should know the rules, right?"

"Of course, do you see if you are qualified to enter the black market with this?"
