Chapter 8 The Black Market

During the day, there are a lot of boats on the Tena River, but at night it is deserted.

Although it is deserted, there are boats passing by on the river from time to time.

A small boat passed through the Turner Bridge like a ghost, but it never came out from the other end.

Quins followed Buddy and Salisbury ashore and came to the bridge pier.

Buddy: "Why do you have to come? Yesterday you said you had enough materials. Why did you change so quickly?"

Salisbury chuckled: "You haven't been here for a long time, I know you well."

Buddy glanced at Quins and said nothing. On the boat, he took advantage of some free time to talk to Quins about secret medicine. He saw it all, and Salisbury's heart was clear at a glance. But he was

Knowing Salisbury's achievements in secret medicine, Salisbury admired Quines so much. It was surprising that until this moment, Buddy felt that Quines was so different.

Looking at Quins, I suddenly got to know Quins again.

"I'll come, I'll come." Salisbury walked to the bridge pier and typed a long string of syllables. Even someone with a good memory like Quins had trouble remembering such a long string.

Then, a small window suddenly opened on the bridge pier. The half face that appeared looked out and saw a small wooden sign in Salisbury's hand. After looking at it carefully for a few seconds, the window closed, and a small door appeared.

It slid away silently from the side.

"Come in." Salisbury took the lead and got through the small door.

Buddy followed him in. Quins looked around outside and followed him in.

After a spin, Quins came to a strange place, with the sound of gurgling water under his feet, and all kinds of tributaries as far as the eye could see. Looking up, he saw the quiet Turner River flowing above Quins' head. The tributaries between the tributaries

The land, buildings and people are intertwined.

"Here?" Quins frowned, a different aura spreading in his heart.

"Hehe," Salisbury approached Quins, "You're confused, aren't you?"

Quins: "It's a little weird here."

Buddy: "That's right, it's strange, because this is a mysterious place, a mysterious place formed by nature."

"No wonder, that's how it is." Quines suddenly understood. The moment the mystery was solved, he knew something was wrong. It was too harmonious here. It stands to reason that such a strange scene would cause Quines to feel a sense of disharmony, but

In fact, it was just the opposite. The weirdness in his eyes and the harmony in his perception made him feel inexplicably awkward: "There are actually people using this mysterious place as a black market."

Salisbury: "Don't think that mysterious places are unpredictable and extremely dangerous. Some mysterious places are not very dangerous, such as this place. Each colored water flow can slowly amplify the impact.

The emotions in the hearts of living beings will suddenly explode after accumulating for three hours. The people affected by that time will be able to do anything. Therefore, the black market time in the Land of Terna is strictly three hours. When the time is up,

Regardless of whether three hours have passed or not, the black market in Tena will be closed."

"There is such a magical place." Quins marveled.

Salisbury: "Follow me, I know a company with a very comprehensive supply of materials that should meet your needs for purchasing materials."

Quins nodded: "Sorry to trouble you." Salisbury is a local leader here. With his help, he can save a lot of trouble.

Stop and go, Salisbury and Buddy walked very slowly, this is to let Quins feel the atmosphere of the black market in Turner. Generally speaking, the atmosphere here is very free, and people without capital can do it.

You can freely set up stalls here, and those who have the capital can open their own stores.

Just like the one Salisbury introduced to Quins, the store was small and didn't hold much.

"Needham, Needham, come out quickly, come out quickly to pick up the guests." Salisbury shouted as soon as he entered the door.

After a while, a dark little man came out of the store. He was almost as tall as Salisbury: "I said who has such a loud voice? It is indeed you, a poor little man. You bought a bag from me two days ago."

A third-level ghost-faced flower. If you are not at home refining the medicine, why are you here with me?" As he spoke, Needham's shrewd little eyes turned back and forth on Quines and Buddy.

Salisbury was furious in his heart: "You're a dwarf who doesn't even have to bend down to get into a dog hole, but you actually said I'm poor. I'll beat you to death." As he said this, he straddled his short legs and wanted to pounce on me.

"Alas!" Buddy held up Salisbury's collar: "We are here to buy things, not to quarrel."

Salisbury snorted, straightened his clothes, raised his head and said to Needham: "We want to buy some extraordinary materials, show us the list."

"I told you to buy materials earlier." Upon hearing Salisbury's words, Needham's face wrinkled with smile, and he took out a yellowed booklet from the counter.

Arriving in front of Salisbury.

Salisbury waved his hand. Knowing Siddam's nature, he did not care about himself. He pointed at Quins and said: "Give it to this gentleman."

"So it's this gentleman. I wonder what your name is." Needham's smile instantly turned to Quins.

"Just call me Mr. Dodd." Quins calmly took the list booklet from Needham's hand. He could see that this businessman named Needham was a man who had breasts and a mother. He could change his face more easily than flipping through a book.

Still fast.

"It turns out to be Mr. Dodd. He is indeed very handsome. He is more than a hundred times better than some guys." Needham praised exaggeratedly, but the corner of his eyes glanced at Salisbury from time to time.

After seeing the dilapidated and yellowed list booklet and the dilapidated and yellowed counter, Quins no longer expected much generous courtesy. He simply stood there and read through the list, while Needham smiled and said.

Stay with me.

After reading it from beginning to end, Quinn immediately understood the reason why Salisbury led him to this somewhat shabby and shabby mysterious materials store. The list of commonly used extraordinary materials of levels 1 and 2 is very complete, and there are even more

Some level 3 materials and even one or two level 4 materials. What makes him happy is that the extraordinary materials he needs to advance to the second level are all here. In other words, he does not have to waste the credit of the Investigation Department to exchange for some black market

There are no materials available.

Without hesitation, each material name came out of Quins' mouth.

Needham's eyes brightened slightly, and he seemed to be calculating something rapidly in his mind as Quines spoke.

"A total of 352 gold coins, 6 silver coins, and 43 bronze coins." Almost as soon as Quines stopped for a moment, Needham reported a series of numbers.

Quins was silent for a moment before nodding, but Salisbury got there before him and waved his hand to Quins: "Leave it to me."

Salisbury then grabbed Needham and walked toward the back of the house.

Needham yelled: "Salisbury, let me go, I won't go unless I go."

Quins looked at Buddy and asked with his eyes what was going on?

Buddy shrugged and said he didn't know either.

Next, a deafening noise erupted from behind the house. It was quite a bit like you will sing and I will come on stage, and the two voices were louder than the other.

Fifteen minutes later, Salisbury, who held his head high, and Needham, who had his head drooped and kept chanting "I've suffered a loss, I've suffered a loss" stood in front of Quins again.

"300 gold coins, done." Salisbury said to Quins proudly.

Quins was slightly surprised, but didn't say anything. It would be good to save money. He took out the five 100 banknotes he had prepared and handed them to Needham.

After receiving the money, Needham suddenly became lively again: "Wait for me for three minutes and I will prepare all the materials for you immediately."

After saying that, Deng Deng Deng ran to the back of the house.

Buddy looked at Salisbury and asked worriedly: "Is this guy reliable?"

Salisbury said firmly: "Don't worry, Needham is a little greedy, but his credibility and ability are guaranteed."

Since Salisbury said so, Buddy and the others believed him.

Sure enough, within 3 minutes, Needham came out carrying a medicine bag and said, "All the materials you asked for are in there. Are there any mistakes?"

Quins took the medicine bag and with a quick sweep of his mental energy, he knew that the materials inside were correct. However, in order to conceal the identity of the wizard, he still opened the medicine bag and counted it carefully.

"Very good, I think we will meet again in the future." Quins said to Needham.

Hearing Quins' words, Needham's little face suddenly wrinkled again.

After leaving the shop, the three of them didn't want to go back in a hurry. Since they had come to the black market, they naturally wanted to take a look, search for treasures, etc. No matter who they were, they would be interested in this kind of thing.

In the black market, there are many extraordinary people who do not know the goods. There are few channels for wild extraordinary people to obtain mysterious knowledge. They mostly rely on word of mouth and the acquisition of experience. Moreover, more people believe that if you have wine now, you will get drunk later. If you have money, buy more.

Powerful props, more of a waste of entertainment.

While walking and walking, perhaps the three of them were not very lucky. Things like Taobao were purely luck-based and had no chance with the three of them. But when passing by a store, Quins couldn't help but be a little speechless.

The emblem of all snakes on the doorway is unmistakable to Quines: "This, is this the storefront of the Church of the Mother of All Snakes?"

Quince was surprised that a cult could openly open a store in the black market.

Salisbury said matter-of-factly: "Calm down, the Church of the Mother of Snakes is the most dangerous cult in every country in the Eastern Continent. As long as it is not made public, the Saruna royal family will only turn a blind eye."

Close one eye."

Quins was silent. He had heard Buddy talk about the church forces in Taopaphi before on the train, and the Mother of Snakes was among them, which shows how powerful she is.

Buddy: "Would you like to go in and take a look?"

Quins trembled and said, "Forget it, let's go back."
