0353 Shurima special diet with health care functions
Although Kalya's tone was quite subtle when he talked about these "precious ingredients", his words still made Lux and Ino slightly interested in these things.
It's not that Lux and Ino are curious people, it's mainly because Kalya's words are so conclusive, as if he has tried every word, and combined with his subtle tone, it always gives people an interesting feeling.
, a feeling that is very much worth looking forward to.
But this time, Lux and Ino were lucky. They didn't have to wait too long to officially see these foods. According to Ran Baka, there will be a large-scale black market transaction tomorrow.
It is suitable for them to "see if there is anything pleasing to the eye first".
The next morning, following the path guided by Ran Baka, Lux and Ino came to an abandoned water station.
This used to be the relay station of the water network and energy transmission network in Uzeris during the Shurima Empire. After the sun disk stopped working, energy transmission stopped, and the underground culverts gradually dried up, this place was gradually abandoned.
However, as a semi-underground permanent building, even if it has been abandoned for a long time, the internal structure is very stable. In addition, it is located on the edge of the southeast corner of the city. Uzeris has never had the need for urban expansion, so it usually remains empty.
After repeatedly checking and confirming the tokens, the guards, who were fully armed and had their heads wrapped tightly, moved away from the water station gate and finally signaled that Lux and Ino could enter.
According to Kalya's request, Lux and Ino entered the water station one after another, one maintaining aristocratic pride and the other acting as a loyal servant.
Pushing the door open and walking through the front hall, there is a unique cave inside the water station.
Different from the situation of Nasramei who said "Although I don't know what I do, I want to keep everything that belongs to the Shurima Empire", the Uzeris people obviously don't care much about these things that represent Shurima Empire.
Relics and witnesses of the glorious past of the Rima Empire.
I don’t know what the magic circuit is, just flatten it.
The control center is too small and the walls are opened to expand the space.
Objectively speaking, as a black market, the conditions here are really good, remote, unobtrusive, with large internal space and good privacy.
But considering that this is built on the basis of a multi-functional water station, it feels a bit like buying a casket for a pearl, burning a harp and boiling a crane.
Fortunately, Kalya is not someone who likes to dwell on the past. After looking at this black market, his attention was completely focused on the next big purchase.
……………………
The only difference between the black market and the ordinary market lies in its inherent secrecy and insecurity. As for the transaction itself, the money is paid with one hand and the goods are delivered with the other hand. There is not much to pay attention to.
If there is anything unique about it, it is that only the tokens that belong to this black market can be used for transactions here - and considering that there is a 20% discount when the tokens are exchanged for various currencies, this kind of token is
Coins should also be regarded as a means of generating income for the black market itself.
Fortunately, the word "black" in the black market itself means lack of supervision and secrecy, and there is no intention to deceive people. Lux can completely take a fancy to the product, determine the price, and then exchange the currency.
Considering that the two of them had sold a Skalalash in Naslamy before, they should have plenty of money now.
However, having plenty of cash does not mean that everything goes smoothly, because the next thing Lux and Ino want to buy is somewhat unpopular.
Although the scale of this underground black market is large, the area dedicated to selling food is not large, and most of them seem to be semi-finished products. Lux and Ino even saw canned marsh frogs produced by Zaun, in northern Demacia.
There were specialty cheeses and even spices produced in Ionia, but there was no food that met Kalya's needs.
"What the hell." Kalya was also quite surprised now, "You can't buy the meat of the elemental dragon, but you can't buy the meat of the earth dragon lizard? Or is it that the Noxians classified these things as military supplies?
, dedicated to the battle group? Aren’t their soldiers afraid of nosebleeds every day?”
"We have already gone around a circle." Lux's face remained calm, but there was a hint of helplessness in her tone, "There is indeed no food that meets your requirements. There will be many Uzeris people here."
Hard-to-find items are placed on the black market stalls, but there is nothing like what you asked for..."
"Could it be placed somewhere else?" Ino said in a low voice, "The black market is so big, maybe their classification habits are different from ours?"
"Where can the food go - wait, it's really possible!" Kalya's heart suddenly moved, "Let's go and have a look at the place where medicinal materials are sold. Maybe there will be an unexpected harvest!"
After confirming their location with the guards at the black market, Lux and Ino quickly changed direction and arrived at the place where the medicinal materials were sold.
Then, what the two of them never expected was that the place was filled with all kinds of animals and plants that Kalya had mentioned but not mentioned.
Some of the ground dragon lizard meat has been pre-processed, and some has not been pre-processed; in Bilgewater, it is only suitable for sea beasts thrown into the sea at the slaughter dock. After being dried in the sun, it is processed, and the final powder is sold for even
It can be compared with gold; plants with different shapes and rich in magic are sold at high prices with all kinds of fancy names.
Among these plants, there are even many species cultivated by Kalya and his students - however, the functional descriptions on the advertising signs are completely inconsistent with Kalya's understanding of them...
"Are these all medicinal materials?" Lux tried hard to manage her facial expressions, "Or do the Uzeris people's definition of medicinal materials differ from ours?"
"It can't be said to be medicinal materials." After a moment of confusion, Kalya quickly understood the internal logic. "In their view, these things are health care products - people who can come to the black market are either rich or noble.
Spending money on these things is completely normal.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Health products?" Lux heard this term for the first time, "Food to maintain health?"
"It's just an expectation." Kalya sighed, "Actually, these are just foods with high energy density and contain some magic power that can be absorbed. It cannot be done to maintain health, and even for ordinary people, it will
It puts a lot of pressure on the body.”
“Can eating too well also cause stress to the body?”
"One pound of beef will not stretch a person to pieces, but one pound of ground dragon meat is already very unbearable for people without professional training." Kalya seems to have a lot of experience with this problem,
"As for a pound of elemental dragon meat, not only can ordinary people not have to eat for a long time, but it will also bring them adverse effects such as mouth and nose bleeding, stomach pain, and mental excitement. However, considering that these adverse effects are
If you pay a lot of money for it, no matter how bad the experience is, it will become a status symbol."
"Nobles always have such bad habits." Lux understood what Kalya said very well, "Ino, you must have seen a lot of this kind of situation, right?"
"In Mithril City... it does exist." Ino nodded, "Many nobles add some special ingredients to their tobacco. They say it's the smell of status, but in fact it doesn't smell as good as Scarash.
"
"Spiritual emptiness is like this." Karya agreed, "But at least their emptiness provides us with a large enough market - let's go, we have to be selective."
……………………
With Kalya's help, Lux and Ino showed great proficiency in selecting these special ingredients. Many guys who wanted to trick new faces reluctantly gave up the idea.
Especially after seeing that every time Ino bought a large piece of meat, it was frozen on the spot. Even if someone had a wrong idea, they gave up decisively at this time.
Who can afford to offend this kind of master who casually freezes half a piece of earth dragon lizard?
In the end, Lux and Ino purchased more than 500 pounds of various meats, plus a hundred pounds of various plants (mostly dried naturally), and almost spent all the money they sold.
Kalash, all the remaining balance after buying the camel.
The food is all ready, and with simple processing, these ingredients are enough to support Lux and Ino all the way from Uzeris to Nerimajie.
Now, the problem comes to how to get out of the city - Uzeris is currently not allowed in or out, and it is absolutely impossible to get out of the city through formal channels.
It's okay if there are only two people, Lux and Ino. As long as they choose a section of the city wall with few people, they can easily climb out.
But the problem is, they still have camels to carry, hundreds of pounds of supplies, and Sephiqah that needs to be tied to the backs of camels - if they want to transport all of these out of the city, they can't just find a section of the city wall and climb it.
It used to be such a simple thing.
Fortunately, Kalya already had a solution for this problem.
"Let's go to sea!"
"At sea?" After finally transporting the things back to the hotel and giving the hotel owner a hush money again, Lux asked, "Isn't the dock in Uzeris blocked yet?"
"The dock must be blocked, but the coastline in Uzeris City is very long, and there are always places for omissions." Kalya was confident, "With Ino here, you can leave here without a boat."
"Rely on me to create an ice bridge?" Ino blinked, "It's okay to create ice in a short distance, but if you want to create a bridge that can carry us away, bypass the Noxian sea defense line, and reach outside the city
The ice bridge, I’m afraid my magic power is not enough..."
"Be more flexible!" Kalya chuckled, "The ice bridge is too luxurious. In fact, we only need an ice dock and an ice ship - the magic power to maintain an ice ship is not large.
Bar?"
Hearing what Kalya said, Lux and Ino looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
