This underground black market called Hot Spring Villa is located at the foot of a hill far away from the lake in Sword Bay City. It is the first place where intelligent creatures gathered in this area.
For the local indigenous tribes, these hot spring waters can not only cure various injuries and illnesses on their bodies, but they can also use the warm areas created by these hot springs to raise their livestock and grow various crops that are scarce in winter.
Plant green fruits and vegetables.
With the arrival of the colonists from the Old World, the intelligent races from the Old and New Worlds quickly united together. Then they began to expand to the surrounding areas with this hot spring as the core.
However, the local terrain was too rugged and unsuitable for city construction. Therefore, the city center was moved southward to the Sword Bay area near the lake, which is where the main city is now.
Soon the carriage arrived close to the urban area, but the difference from before was that this time the carriage did not go to the urban area, but turned directly north from a fork in the road.
Soon, the scenery on both sides of the road became much better. Although the buildings on both sides of the road looked old, they were generally well maintained.
Especially after Lawrence and the others discovered that one or two sanitation workers wearing gray clothes and holding brooms and garbage baskets appeared on both sides of the road from time to time, they began to have a certain fondness for the local managers.
After all, the management level of urban areas in this era is really poor, or in other words, most people have no so-called awareness of urban management at all.
At least Lawrence himself had seen similar cleaning people in wealthy areas of several cities, and he had only previously carried out overall cleaning work on New Sauer Island for the sake of hygiene and epidemic prevention.
In Sword Bay City, whether it is the tourist-oriented urban area here or the industrial-oriented urban area not far away, Lawrence can see many such sanitation workers busy at work. This
Under such circumstances, it is difficult for him not to have a certain fondness for the managers of those cities.
"Why are there such cleaning workers on the roadside here?" Seifer also saw the situation here, so he directly asked Bach who was driving the car ahead.
"I have always thought that except for our Saul Island, even if other cities have these workers responsible for environmental cleaning, they will not be in non-rich areas."
"This is actually directly related to your Lordship." Bach said while driving the carriage. "Before, everyone only thought that the issue of cleanliness was only related to politeness and face, but since you proposed a series of papers on microorganisms, especially
It was after the massive typhoid fever outbreak in Eagle Fort was prevented that everyone suddenly realized the importance of a clean environment."
"It's just that due to economic problems, most cities can only hire some people to clean certain areas regularly. Only wealthy cities like Sword Bay City can hire a group of workers to clean up on a long-term basis."
"It seems that I did do a good thing." Hearing this, Lawrence smiled quite proudly. This should be considered one of the greatest contributions he has made to everyone since he came to this world.
"Your Excellency, we will be there soon." The carriage continued to drive forward for five minutes, then turned directly to the left, and then came to a small road.
"It turns out that although this extraordinary market is also called a hot spring villa, it is not the same as the real hot spring villa." Watching the carriage start to move away from the hot spring resort buildings halfway up the mountain, Lawrence realized that this undisclosed extraordinary market did not
It's with those hot spring resorts, but just around this area.
After going around half a hill, the carriage stopped. After getting out of the car, Lawrence and Saphire found a lonely villa in front of them. There was no one at the door of the villa, only two stone monsters were quietly guarding the door.
side.
"In a moment, each of you will prepare three one-federal-dollar silver coins and place them under the paws of the stone monster on the left, and then take out two masks from the mouth of the stone monster on the right and put them on."
Before leaving, Bach said, "Only people wearing masks can enter this door."
"Understood." After watching the carriage driven by Bach drive toward the parking lot down the hill, Lawrence prepared a mask for himself and Saphire according to the method he described. Then he reached out and pushed open the door.
Lawrence had tried to push open the door just now when he was not wearing a mask, but the entire door was as solid as a wall. Unexpectedly, after putting on the mask, the door opened with a slight push.
"Are you a new customer? Go pick up a robe from the hanger in the house over there and put it on. Then you can enter the market through the other door in that room. Remember, don't wander around after entering the market."
After entering the door, what appeared in front of Lawrence was not the small garden he had just seen from the outside, but a small room with only a dozen square meters.
A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties who looked ordinary was sitting behind the only table in the room and said in a hoarse voice.
Although this man looked very ordinary, Lawrence's Bai Ze bloodline gave him the feeling that this guy's extraordinary level should be about the same as his own.
It seems that this extraordinary market is indeed one of the largest extraordinary markets in the region. That's why we can now see extraordinary people of this level working as doormen at the door.
Of course, the phantom magic that was deployed outside just now was presumably for safety reasons.
Soon, Lawrence and Saphire came to a nearby room and each took a cloak from the hanger and put it on, and then left the dressing room together through the small door at the end of the room.
And walked along a secret passage toward the underground.
"Ha, I'm a little excited." Saphire said to Lawrence as he walked down. "I have never been to a place like this before."
"Really?" Lawrence asked curiously. "I remember that you had a supernatural teacher. Didn't he take you to these places?"
"Indeed, no." Saifei said helplessly. "At that time, my teacher only thought that I was a student of an aristocratic female school who was interested in these things, so he felt that there was no need for me to come into contact with these things, so naturally he would not bring them with me.
I'm here for this kind of occasion."
"Okay, I can understand this." Under the mask, Lawrence raised his eyebrows. The world has only one requirement for ladies trained in aristocratic girls' schools, and that is to have a noble temperament and be suitable to be a good wife. So no
It is normal to tell Saifei about the rules of the world that are not applicable.
After walking around for about seventy or eighty meters and about three or four stories underground, a small door appeared at the end of the corridor.
After gently twisting the door handle and opening the door, his eyes suddenly became brighter. "I didn't expect this underground black market to be so big." Saifei said, and these words also spoke to Lawrence's heart.
idea.
This underground black market is obviously a real underground black market, located in a huge cave about 13~15m below the ground.
Judging from the traces on the cave walls and the stone pillars left behind, this place should have been an underground cave in the past, and was later discovered and transformed into what it is today.
The entire underground space seems to be 6 to 7 hectares in size, but it is not an entire large space, but is composed of multiple caves, large and small.
Many black market merchants dug small caves into the walls of caves and tunnels, and built their own stalls with some wooden boards and cloth.
"Let's see where it's better to go first." After exiting the tunnel, Lawrence immediately looked towards the stalls, hoping to find the target he was interested in. But soon several people discovered that they were standing at the entrance, looking around.
