Cataclysm King.

Chapter 525: Black market sweeps, lots of treasures

"Ouch, why are there more people in this Giant City than last time?"

"Yes. And have you noticed that when I came last time, the streets were full of knights from the Holy See, and the official armies of the three kingdoms were not seen either."

"That's right. It's strange. And this Djinn City now feels like the first time I went to Innocence City. The streets were full of malicious looks."

"Brother Ji Xun, what's going on?"

"."

Ji Xun and his party walked into the Giant Spirit City, and they realized that before, when they saw the city wall being destroyed and the Royal Academy turned into ruins, they thought that the city had also been destroyed and that many people should have fled.

But unexpectedly, the city became more lively than before.

Not only were there many times more people than before, but it also became very chaotic.

The streets are crowded with people. In addition to adventurers, there are also a large number of guys with weapons and malicious intentions.

Of course Ji Xun knew what happened.

Two months ago, the death dragon Marodis attacked the Djinn City, destroying the Royal Academy and the branch where the Holy See was established. The city has no actual ruler.

Moreover, it has been revealed that Airel's sneak attack hundreds of thousands of years ago caused the metal dragon to ambush and kill Emperor Lanlingst and both sides suffered losses.

This also completely detonated the conflict between the metallic dragon and colored dragon camps.

The Silver Dragon Kingdom immediately announced its support for the dragon **** Marodis, and some nobles of the Red Dragon Kingdom also defected. Now the three kingdoms are fighting fiercely with each other.

oh!

And the Scarlet Cult.

After 'Scarlet Corruption Seaadis' obtained the fragments of the Titan's corpse from the depths of the Dead Realm, his status and strength skyrocketed after his return. Now the dragon vampire legion in the southern continent is very rampant. It is said that pure-blood giants have appeared on the battlefield. Dragon's vampire dragon.

And the 'Lord of Military Disasters, Monliod' seems to have become a climate, and the war is becoming more and more intense.

In short, wars are happening everywhere in the southern continent.

The dragon **** Airel was worried that the dead dragon Marodis would seek revenge on him, so the Holy See also recalled top-level clergy from various places to guard the headquarters.

There is no ninth level person in Giant Spirit City now.

Just like the Innocence City, the tiger-free monkeys in the mountains are kings, and the gangsters and mercenaries who lick blood at the edge of the knife have become the actual managers of the city.

And because the location of Giant Spirit City does not belong to the territory of the three kingdoms and is also the southernmost city in the empire, it has now become one of the safest cities in the southern continent.

Countless "neutral camp" forces, such as chambers of commerce, mercenary groups, nobles, adventurers, and speculators, all gathered together to head to the Old Continent, or to the south, to escape the chaotic civil war that was currently raging in the three kingdoms.

This has also resulted in the influx of countless outsiders into Giant Spirit City every day, making it much more lively than before.

Countless forces poured in, which also exacerbated the chaos in the city.

But the subtle thing is that no one dares to say that he is the ruler of the city, nor does he have that strength.

Anyone who dares to identify themselves as the "Holy Holy See" or any of the "Sun Sect" will immediately be assassinated by assassins who don't know where they come from.

Those large mercenary groups basically have official backgrounds and have long been afraid to show their faces.

Therefore, the forces that govern the city by dividing the city are now active gangs and small and medium-sized gangs.

They do not have the ability to rule the whole city. They can only rule by dividing areas.

Ji Xun and his party were an adventure group that had just returned from the Warcraft Forest. As soon as they entered the city, they were targeted by gang members with malicious intent.

But they didn't have any fear, instead they were all excited.

Before, I didn't dare to show off in the city. That was because the Holy See had top powerhouses.

There is not even a ninth level in the city now, and Ji Xun and his group are not afraid of anyone.

If someone really wants to cause trouble, they won't mind calling these local gangsters back.

"Haha, is it so lively? I said that wanted criminals dare to walk out on the streets, so that's it."

"No wonder the contraband on the black market is on the streets. There are so many good things."

"Haha, the colored dragon and the metal dragon have been fighting for countless years without a winner. Look at this situation, the war between the three kingdoms may last for many years. Leader, you said we are going to start a war in this giant city." How about Hong Lou’?”

"."

After listening to Ji Xun's explanation of the situation, everyone understood what exactly happened.

The revolutionary army is a resistance organization born in a chaotic situation, and they like this anarchy too much.

Moreover, they had previous experience in opening the Hong Tower in Innocence City. It was perfect for them to make money and collect resources in such a chaotic environment.

After entering the city, everyone separated in twos and threes.

After a few months of adventure, everyone needs some entertainment.

Just treat it as a holiday.

Moreover, there is a large influx of foreigners in Juling City every day, and Ji Xun's clone is simply too busy collecting intelligence. Everyone can gather some key information faster by asking around.

The materials for Sam and others have been collected, and they will be preparing to advance to the seventh level in the next few days.

The friends dispersed, and Ji Xun, Qin Rushi and Peacock were walking on the street.

Ji Xun was still telling Qin Rushi about the information he had just obtained.

The peacock was wrapped in a turban and followed silently.

It was her first time to see so many humans, and it was also her first time to come to a human city.

Although his expression was still cold, his twinkling eyes showed that he was not at peace inside.

The prosperity of the human world indeed exceeded her understanding of the world.

Not long after, the three of them took a beast cart and arrived in front of an inconspicuous small building at No. 55 Match Lane, Nancheng District.

This was one of Ji Xun's previous strongholds in Juling City.

Now it's a warehouse.

Opening the door, the three of them walked in, went down the dim stairs, and soon arrived at a huge basement.

As soon as the illusion barrier was closed, the cellar was filled with densely packed volumes of books.

Ji Xun walked down and started to use the storage space to pack up the books inside, while introducing Qin Rushi and the two girls: "After the Royal Academy was breached, there was looting. Now a large number of collection-level books and treasures have flowed in there. In the market of Djinn City, many robbers didn’t know what to buy. They could even buy the Forbidden Curse Book for a piece of bread, so they bought it and kept it.”

The avatar has been at the Royal Academy for more than half a year, and of course he knows that the collections in the academy library are of immeasurable value.

There are even many unique collector's editions.

Now those classics that only high-ranking nobles were eligible to borrow have flowed into the market, and of course they cannot be let go.

Ji Xun's clone took advantage of this opportunity and immediately bought a large number of precious classics in the market.

"That's it"

Qin Ru's eyes brightened as he listened.

Of course she knew the value of these classics and helped Ji Xun put them away.

Ji Xun added: "There are many good things in the black market. There are at least thirty kinds of fifty-two magic mysterious spells, including "Gluttony", "Virtual Flash", and "Resurrection Sacrifice". These are the only ones in the Eastern Wasteland. There is also a complete version of the secret method of the remaining chapters. There are also some other treasures, but they are too expensive and I couldn’t buy them before. So I plan to go to the black market to scan for goods."

You may still be able to find other classics, but the classics related to the fifty-two magic mysteries are almost known to all appraisers and cannot be purchased at all.

The doppelgänger has good information, but not much money.

I almost spent all my savings buying these classics.

He knew there were plenty of treasures on the black market.

Moreover, the clones are weak, and now the order in the Giant City is chaotic, and gangsters are very common. Before, they did not dare to show their wealth on the black market.

But it's different now.

The body is back.

Qin Rushi was also very interested, "Yeah."

She had heard Ji Xun say before that there were many good things in the Royal Academy.

In addition to the collections in the library, there are also various treasures and even artifacts.

Thinking of something, Ji Xun added: "There is also news that the largest Rainbow Slave Chamber of Commerce in the Southern Continent will come to Giant Spirit City to hold the finals of the 'Gladiator King Challenge' in the next few days. Senior Gong Wu is also in the ten The finals among the candidates will be held in ten days.”

Regardless of the excitement of the war between the three kingdoms, people should continue to have fun.

Even because of the war, custom industries and some black industries have become more and more prosperous.

Slave wrestling is the most popular entertainment activity in the Southern Continent, and it is also one of the most profitable businesses of the Slave Chamber of Commerce.

Nowadays, there are many wealthy businessmen and nobles fleeing to Giant Spirit City. It is a good time to make money, so the finals of the competition are also arranged here.

"Um."

When Qin Ru heard this, he also knew what Ji Xun meant.

This is to rob someone by force.

Not to mention the relationship between Ji Xun and Gong Wu, Gong Wu also had a favor for Qin Rushi himself, and of course he would also help.

Their previous method of trying to steal people from top trading houses like Rainbow Chamber of Commerce was not very interesting.

Now, there is no Holy Holy See army in Giant Spirit City, and there is no ninth level, so this is the best chance to save people.

Ji Xun knew that Qin Ru understood what he meant, so he didn't say much, and instead said: "Furthermore, according to reliable information, the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce purchased a large amount of treasures immediately after the riots in the Royal Academy because of its previous layout in the Giant Spirit City. . Among them are many magical mysteries, high-level relics and top-level materials, as well as the [Babel Tower]!"

It’s hard to say what the most powerful treasure in the Royal Academy is, but when it comes to the most important thing, Ji Xun feels that this [Babel Tower] can definitely be ranked among the top three.

[Tower of Babel] is a treasure used by the Royal Academy to test students to artificially create extra-dimensional space.

And it is also part of the Talon Dynasty [Shenxu Treasure House].

The value of this thing cannot be treated like an ordinary treasure.

When the clone was first destroyed in the Royal Academy, he had been paying attention to the whereabouts of several treasures in the academy. After asking around, I found out that some others were going somewhere, and I happened to know that the tower was in the hands of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.

And he is one of the few people who knows the whereabouts of this treasure.

"oh?"

Qin Ru was also very interested.

If you really get this thing, it will not only be a treasure, but it will also be of great significance to the entire card master civilization.

Not long after, after packing up the classics in the warehouse, Ji Xun and the others arrived at the black market in the sewers of North City in Giant Spirit City.

Although many stolen goods are now traded openly, the truly valuable things are still in the hands of the local snakes in this sewer black market.

Without acquaintances to guide the way, outsiders can't even figure out the doorways, and the local gangsters won't really come up with good things.

Ji Xun is very familiar with the black market.

He used a clown mask to transform into a broker named "Quinlan".

This was one of several disguised identities he had created before. Qin Rushi and Peacock acted as the sponsors who hired him.

Entering the black market, the small wooden buildings on the rock wall were all lit up with dim magic lights to welcome visitors.

There were many people coming and going, and each shop had many mysterious customers.

Ji Xun also found that there were indeed many unfamiliar faces in the market, but the shops were still the same.

Although there are many outsiders, it is not easy to take root in the black market. Having a safe and stable supply channel network cannot be established in a short time.

The avatar came to the black market before to inquire about information and brush their faces. Ji Xun and the others were not troubled by the gangsters who were hanging around in the black market along the way.

The three of them entered a small house with "Owl Magic Shop" scrawled on the door template.

This is the most popular black market. The longer it is open, the wider the supply of goods and the more good stuff there is.

There were only two people in the shop when they entered, an old woman with eyes like an owl, and a young apprentice.

When Ji Xun entered, he shouted to the old woman: "Old witch, we have a visitor."

Looking at "Kunlan", the old woman looked at Qin Ru and the two of them quietly, "Hey, Kunlan, long time no see."

This is a black market code word, which means asking where the customer is.

Ji Xun's role is just one of the many small brokers in the black market. Usually such small characters don't know many important customers, and the old woman doesn't pay much attention to him.

But he didn't hesitate and said directly: "This is a distinguished guest from the north."

"Oh."

The old woman chuckled lightly. She didn't think highly of him or look down upon him. She just looked at Qin Ru and asked, "Do you have any needs, guest? Since it was brought by Kunlan, you will be satisfied with the things in the store."

These words conveyed a strong sense of confidence.

Qin Rushi didn't do any ink, just took out a bag of magic core and threw it over: "Money is not a problem. Just take out the good things."

This is capital verification.

This is also the rule of the black market.

Only by showing off their funds can these old men in the black market show off their good stuff.

And her rhetoric was also discussed with Ji Xun. The persona was from an outside chamber of commerce who came to sweep goods and wanted everything.

The old woman picked up the bag on the counter and looked at it. The sparkle in her eyes disappeared, and she suddenly changed into a smile, "Oh, my dear guest, you are in the right place. I just got a batch of good things."

A guest who can easily take out a sixth-order magic core is already a distinguished guest.

As she spoke, she touched the storage ring in her hand, and several boxes were placed in front of her. She smiled and said, "Look."

Qin Ruzhi opened the box and took a look. A relic ring, a sixth-level dark gold undead material, and a classic were all considered high-quality products.

However, her expression was very calm, even slightly disappointed, and she said casually: "That's it?"

This "that's it" made the old woman not feel humiliated, but realized that she had met a truly big customer.

She has been in the black market for so many years, and her ability to detect people's emotions has long been perfected. Although the female customer in front of her has her face covered, the calmness in her eyes cannot be faked.

These are not stewards of some big business firm, they all belong to big noble families, even the royal family!

Qin Ru turned his head to look at Ji Xun, and said deliberately irritatingly: "If that's it, there's no need to watch it."

When she saw that her employer was leaving, the old woman panicked.

Ji Xun also persuaded him at the right time: "Oh, madam, would you like to take a look again? I can guarantee that this shop is the shop with the most complete goods in the black market of Giant Spirit City. There are many good treasures."

As he spoke, he looked at the shopkeeper with a flattering expression on his face, as if he was afraid that his commission would slip away: "Right, old witch?"

After hearing this, the old woman nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Of course Qin Rushi knew that this shop had good things, but he also showed an expression of interest and said straight to the point: "As long as you can get the top relics, magic mystical techniques, and Royal Academy collections to sell, money is not a problem."

As she spoke, she took out a bag again.

This time there is not only a seventh-level magic core, but also some high-level energy crystals.

When the old woman took a look at it, her pupils were obviously dilated.

With such a casual attitude, he must be a big customer.

This is the routine in the black market. Both parties have to test each other to really buy good things.

Originally, the words Qin Ru said, such as "the collection of the Royal Academy", would have made people wary.

But it's different now. Many nobles in the black market come here for those things.

The collection of the Royal Academy is something that the three royal families are coveted, otherwise they would not send their children to school every year.

But before, because of the Holy See, no one dared to covet those collections.

Things are different now.

Although you can't buy it openly, there are many people buying it privately.

When the old woman heard this, she quickly motioned to the apprentice beside her to close the shop curtain, "Wait a moment, I will get you a catalog list!"

This shop is not big, and it is impossible to keep all the treasures on you.

Taking out the list is the only time you really get the good stuff.

Qin Ru looked at the list handed over by the old woman, her expression became interested, and she took the initiative to ask: "Do you have everything on this list?"

Ji Xun also took a glance and saw that there were indeed many items on the list.

What it looks like: The magical mystical spell "Mingyin Burial" in the singer sequence of the 7 of clubs, the "War God's Armor" in the holy dragon and iron guard sequence of the 6 of spades, the "ignorant pain" of the paladin sequence of the 3 of spades, and the grave digging of the 9 of clubs. "No taboos" in the human sequence.

Ji Xun saw six of the fifty-two mysterious magic techniques!

Not only the magical mystical method, but also the "Secret Book of Fire-type Dragon Language Forbidden Spells", "Zerath's Top-Level Mysterious Spell", "Seventy-two Legendary Card Refining Formulas", and "Eight of Spades Original Template" 》.

Ji Xun is too familiar.

These are the high-authority collection books of the Royal Academy. These are top-notch products that were once unavailable outside.

Of course Ji Xun knew why there were so many classics.

It's hard to say about other treasures, but the Fifty-Two Magic Mysteries, except for the original copper plate, which is unique, all other text contents can be copied.

There was no copying before because the Holy See prohibited it. Anyone who dared to copy something from the Royal Academy would have his whole family sent to the gallows.

But now there is no such taboo.

If these guys on the black market got it, they would probably have made a copy through various channels.

In this way, the original product becomes a copy, and its value will definitely be greatly reduced.

But Ji Xun and the others came here for the secret method, not the collection.

Of course the cheaper the better.

In addition, there are some high-level ancient relics such as armors and weapons on the catalog.

I have to say that just this catalog makes people excited to look at it.

Qin Rushi nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the catalog above, and said directly: "I want this, this, this, and this. Please give me a price."

Instead of clicking one by one, she skillfully skipped some.

Some are because they already have them and there is no need to buy them again.

The other thing is to let this person know that they have it, so that they can be more sure that she is a big customer and not here to cause trouble.

Sure enough!

As soon as the old woman heard this, the last doubt in her eyes disappeared. With a smile on her face, she quoted: "Since your distinguished guest wants so much, I won't make any ink. One million gold coins for the magic mystical method, and one hundred thousand for other classics. If the guest uses magic cores or energy crystals for this batch of thirty thousand, After checking, you can get a 20% discount.”

Qin Ruzhi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

It would be cheaper to settle with magic cores. Qin Rushi also figured it out. Now is the time of war, and magic cores are strategic materials and are more valuable than gold coins.

But...so cheap?

You know that the fifty-two magic mysteries are a treasure for any card master, but it only costs one million? This is just a normal day, so it’s a better price for a relic.

Qin Rushu also guessed that it was a copy and said calmly: "I will use the magic core to settle the bill. But it will be 50% off."

"Oh, your price"

The old woman wailed, "You sincerely want it, 30% off is the lowest."

Ji Xun, of course, knew that the 50% discount was really low, and helped him by saying, "Yes. Dear guest, you don't know, I will take you to the Owl Shop. This price is definitely the best on the black market."

The old woman thought Ji Xun was speaking for her. After all, the price was high and the commission was high, so she quickly said: "Yes, yes! I can guarantee that what you buy from me is definitely the lowest price on the black market."

Unifying prices is the monopoly power that only a few old local snakes in the black market have been operating for so many years. Channel suppliers must also comply, otherwise no one in the black market will accept their goods, and nothing will be sold.

Ji Xun also responded: "Yes! This is the cheapest!"

Qin Rushi understood Ji Xun's hint and said directly: "40% off! If that doesn't work, just find another one."

The old woman's eyes twitched as she heard this: "This"

This knife struck the old woman in the heart.

Sell ​​it, the profit is not high.

Don't sell it, go elsewhere and maybe your colleagues will sell it.

This kind of big customer still expects repeat business. If he really runs away, the loss will be huge.

Qin Ru was not impressed at all, so he turned around and left.

Ji Xun made a panicked look on his face, and the old woman could only grit her teeth and swallow, and quickly greeted: "Okay, okay! 60% off, 60% off!"

Qin Ru then turned around, took out a storage ring, and said generously: "Here, you click."

The old woman took the storage ring and took a look. It was densely packed with magic cores and energy crystal cores.

There are so many high-level magic cores that can only be obtained from the treasure troves of great nobles.

The old woman looked at it without any doubts in her heart.

There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, and she quickly took out a few more lists and introduced: "I also have a product catalog here. If you want something else, I can call it in the warehouse. I guarantee that you can buy everything at once. something.”

Of course, this list is not from her shop, but from her peers.

These gangsters in the black market usually transfer goods to each other in order to lock in customers and avoid going to other peers.

When Ji Xun and Qin Ru saw the list, they smiled in their hearts.

This saves them a lot of trouble.

On normal days, it would be impossible to rob the nobles and get so many things at once.

But in this mess, I spent a little money and bought it!
