Parallel Army - The Sound of Turning Tide Chapter 47 Black Market
"Ah, I wonder what you are good at making? Our demand here is mainly for standard armor and firearms. The previous stores were too busy. It is said that some nobles have placed big orders." Karin took out a handbag that he named Mo
Miss Ramiel's dwarf musket then asked.
This blacksmith has never seen or even heard of muskets, but the armor and swords that represent the past kings all come from this blacksmith family, but they declined in his father's generation.
"I'm not in a hurry for the armor...but do you know what the orders over there are?" Karin couldn't figure out why there was such a huge order.
"I only make armor and swords, and I don't accept any other orders." This blacksmith is very aloof, and the spoon should be for his own use...
"Okay, how do you calculate the price here?" Karin looked at the finished products in the blacksmith's shop. In addition to some fine cold weapons, there was also a light armor and a heavy armor.
The blacksmith took out a hammer and a knife and let Karin try them. The quality was so good that even though they were not the best materials, they used forging technology to achieve the best results.
"Regardless of grade, we only charge one linsey for bringing your own materials. If you use the materials I have here, you will probably pay the market price." The blacksmith added the charging standard after seeing Carlin read it. It is really not expensive.
"Are you still opening tomorrow? I remember that someone in our mercenary group brought the scales of the earth dragon. I wonder what they can do if they are forged?" Carlin thought of what happened to Sophia.
"Earth dragon scales?" The blacksmith frowned at first, and then became excited. "Is there really a dragon in this world? I have always regarded it as a legend. If you have such a rare thing, I am willing to build it for free, and I can also contribute other materials.
If I can use dragon materials to create superior equipment, then it will not be in vain for me to practice my forging skills."
"I don't care, would you like to take a look?" Carlin asked.
The blacksmith pondered for a moment and then said: "That's fine."
"Then thank you in advance for your kindness." Karin walked out of the shop and waited for the blacksmith to lock the door.
On the other side, the man Sofia and Dynefil were following looked back every time they walked across the street. Both of them were almost exposed, and finally the man walked into a grocery store.
There was no signboard and it looked like an ordinary grocery store. The two of them could only see a small part of it on the street.
Sofia pretended to be passing by by chance, pretending to be a customer who came in to take a look. She walked into the grocery store, and the space in the store was not large. "What does this customer want to buy?" A man sitting on a chair stood up and asked.
, but the strange thing is that the man from before is not there.
"Well...it's nothing. Come in and take a look to see if there is anything you want to buy." Sophia pretended to look at the products in the store, but actually observed the man in front of her with her peripheral vision.
This man has an unshaven beard and looks slightly overweight, but he also has solid muscles. Finally, he has a rosy complexion and is very healthy.
"Store manager, what are you mainly selling?" It didn't look like a vampire, so Sophia really looked inside the store, looking for a location that might serve as a hidden door.
"What do you want to buy? In addition to these ordinary groceries, there are many small stores. I can get whatever you want." Although Sofia did not directly discover the hidden door, there are several locations suitable for covering the hidden door.
, doesn’t look so natural.
Hearing this, Sophia observed the look on her face when she said this, as if she was testing or actually soliciting business. But judging from her tone, she really sounded like a grocery store owner with a wide range of connections.
The sentence was true. Whether his words had any other profound meaning, the girl didn't know the specific situation.
"Then, can you help me sell the diamonds? Or help me buy some special jewelry here? It's a bit monotonous here, a bit boring." Sophia asked.
"Guest, you are really embarrassing me." The man looked embarrassed.
Walking slowly in the grocery store, stopping from time to time to look at the products in the store, then turning to look at the man and saying, "Didn't you say you have a wide network? It's rare to come here, but it turns out that this place is not even liked by some women."
There is nothing, which is really disappointing.”
"You can't say that. Your guest is a foreigner. Nobles are not allowed to wear precious stones and gold jewelry. If they are going to be beheaded, how can they buy them?"
"Not even ordinary gold jewelry? No way?" Sophia questioned.
"Commoners and businessmen can wear it, but nobles cannot. However, if nobles cannot wear it, no one will buy it."
"You should have a black market here, right? Can you introduce it to me? If you can help me sell these gems, I can give you some reward?" Sophia tried to lure this guy.
"Sorry, I can't help you find a buyer for this gem. I am one of the recommenders in the black market. This ticket is given to you." The man took out a small wooden sign and handed it to Sophia, who also
I took it over.
Sofia looked at it and saw that it was just an ordinary small wooden sign. Then the man opened the mechanism at some point, and a cabinet moved a certain distance, revealing a door that required bowing to enter. The man just now must have entered through here.
.
"That businessman just now is also a member of your black market?" Sophia asked directly.
"Members are not at this level yet." The man shook his head.
"This admission ticket can only be used once by one person? I have a companion, can I come with me?" Sophia thought of Dynefil who was following her outside but did not come in.
"This ticket can indeed only be used by one person. If there is no contract between you, you cannot use this ticket together." I don't know why I say this. Is there any mystery in it.
"Okay, I'll go and ask him to wait. I'll come back later." Sophia went to the door and briefly told Dinefel about this in a low voice, then went back and bent down to enter the small door.
Sofia walked down the old stairs, but she didn't expect that the space underneath was an extension of part of the sewer system. Incense was lit here, and there were many vendors and even shops selling contraband. There were several muscular bodyguards in each area.
To prevent someone from causing trouble.
The wooden sign in Sophia's hand could only allow her to leave through the original passage. She first took a look at the area here to see if the sales stalls were arranged in categories.
But after looking at it for a while, I found that there were no items that were helpful in the battle, and there were no books that Sophia was interested in. Even if there were... there was no money to buy them.
For example, a random bird monster egg costs 200 linsey each. Or a lapis lazuli stone that can extract expensive dyes costs 20 linsey each. It can be said that there is no single item smaller than 10 linsey.
Sophia could only memorize the black market routes here, and generally listen to see if anyone was chatting here and had some special information.
It's a pity that Sofia spent a lot of time wandering around and remembered this area vaguely. However, this area is also connected to other sewer areas, and Brandon and the others may be planning to evacuate from here.
Sofia tried to match the area here with the streets above, but the area where the black market was located was only a small area.
Going back in time slightly, Dinefir saw the man who was initially followed by him and Sophia coming out alone, but Sophia had not come out yet.
So Dinefel hung far behind. After following for a while, he found that he had entered a grain and oil store again. This time he did not look back often.
Pretending to be passing by, Dynefil took a look at what the man was doing inside, but he did not find the man in the shop...
Dinefel thought for a moment and then walked in to see if there was anything unusual about the items sold here besides the most ordinary grains and oils.
"What do the customers want to buy?" asked the owner of the grain and oil store.
"I heard from a friend that there might be some rare things for sale here. I don't know if you know about it, boss." Dinefel asked.
"Your friend is quite discerning. I do have some connections and can indeed buy strange things. So what do you want?"
"For example, some World of Warcraft ingredients, potions, or books on spiritual cultivation that can improve the quality. By the way, my friends and I also do some part-time mercenary work. If there are any private commissions, that's fine."
"There are supplementary ingredients. Well, mercenaries, there has indeed been some trouble recently. There are many rats underground. If you can drive the rats out without any movement, my friend can provide some reward."
"Rat in the underground? It just so happens that we have been idle recently, so it would be best if we could find something to do. Can you tell me more about it?" Dinefel didn't really want to make any entrustment. After all, his main purpose was
Completely the tasks of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
"To put it simply, even if an Oathbinder notices our business, we don't want to make a big fuss." Obviously this person is not a kind person.
"In that case, I understand. Do you have a portrait of this paladin? And the location where he may appear." Dinefel guessed that it might be the one named Brandon. Although Dinefel guessed it.
Nefer has not done anything evil, but there are very selfish people in the Servin family.
I don’t know what kind of ability this guy used to show an impression on Dinefel’s eyeballs. Sure enough, it was the paladin Brandon that Sophia was looking for in the backyard of the circus.
The man then explained the specific street, but he said that the paladin's activity time was after curfew.
"Okay! I understand. It's getting late. I'll go back and discuss countermeasures with my teammates first. They've been idle for a long time. I think they'll be interested in this job." Although Dinefel wasn't sure whether this guy was
He really wanted Dinefel and the so-called "his friends" to deal with Brandon, but at least it was a good thing to know that someone was going to take action secretly.
Then the man did nothing and gave Dinefel a marking ability. The specific effect is unclear, but most of this ability can locate the marked person.
"What are you doing?" Dinefel said dissatisfied.
"There are still people in Nevis who can detect this power. Are you from the Severn family? You don't want to declare war, do you?" The man's tone became cold and he took out a short knife from behind. This man is from the Vampire family.
There shouldn't be anything wrong with either party.
"I'm just an unlucky guy who was kicked out by the finance department to do some private work for them. I want to make some extra money on the way. Declaring war is not something that a pawn like me can decide." Although Dinefel is not false.
, but I don’t want to fight with this guy here right now.
"It makes sense." The man smacked his lips. "In any case, we don't welcome guys named Servin, so there's no need to discuss this matter. And I advise you to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to come here.
You can leave." After this person finished speaking, he became a threat.
"I also want to leave early. You have to spend money wherever you go out, hey." Now that Dinefel has no way to remove this mark, and he doesn't know how long it will last, he can only go back to meet up and see if Sophia can do anything.
