Chapter 149 Underground Black Market

The meaning of the word "underground" in the underground black market is not just that secrets can't see the light, but also where it is really underground, the underground of Tormond City!

The entrance to the black market is in the Tormond United Chamber of Commerce next to Shenhui Square. The United Chamber of Commerce is a semi-official commercial organization, similar to the mercenary union. Most of the large and small business groups in Tomond City and the whole Southwest Province are among its members, with extremely strong strength and financial resources.

After showing the VIP card, Leon and Corinna entered the well-defended passage together.

This underground passage is extremely deep and long, but the ground of the passage is covered with flat stone slabs, which is very clean and tidy. The stone walls on both sides are painted with a variety of exquisite paintings, which is pleasing to the eyes and boring.

The light emitted by a magic crystal wall lamp illuminates every corner of the channel. Such a lamp without grease and open fire is worth dozens or even hundreds of gold coins on the market. The strength of the United Chamber of Commerce can be seen.

Corinne told Leon that there is more than one access to the underground black market, but the United Chamber of Commerce is the safest.

"No identity, no origin, free to buy and sell, no regrets about winning or losing!" Taking advantage of the gap of the walk, Corinna explained the trading rules of the black market to Leon: "Many of the goods in the underground black market are of unknown, and the prices are very different. Although no one dares to sell fake goods, if you want to buy cheap goods, you have to rely on your own eyesight and experience. Returns are not allowed here."

"Relatively, although the final transaction price of the things auctioned at the auction may be very high, it is much clearer in terms of price."

"I don't know much about this. I have to rely on you to take care of me!" Leon said with a smile.

Corin gave him angrily: "It seems that I owe you in my previous life, so I'm going to pay it back today!"

Many religions on the glorious continent believe in the past and afterlife and the retribution of the cycle of cause and effect. Many believers of the Mongolian orcs would rather starve and give all their money to the temple. It is based on this belief that they are trapped in this life and look forward to wealth in the afterlife.

"That's right, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed..." Corinna continued, "I asked for you. The purple crystal you want is not sold in the black market. There is an aristocratic collector who has a collection in his hand, but his offer is very high."

"How tall is it?" Leon couldn't help asking.

"One million gold coins!"

One million gold coins! Why didn't he rob? Leon is speechless. What's the difference between this and just saying not to sell it?

On the glorious continent, one million gold coins are enough to support the expenditure of a full army for half a year, and the annual tax revenue of some small countries is only a few million gold coins. It is impossible for a piece of amethyst crystal to be sold at such a sky-high price.

However, Leon has been prepared for such a result. There is another way to think about it if he can't afford to buy a purple crystal.

"Amethyst crystal is the most important material for building a holy land transmission array. It's really rare." Corinne shook her head: "But the other party's offer is really not sincere. You know, the value of this space ring in my hand is nothing more than that."

Rich people! Leon once thought that he was also rich, but compared with the really rich man, such as the fox girl in front of him, he was really a little rich man from the countryside.

A ring in your hand is worth a million gold coins, and there is no need to say what inventory is in it.

Leon's heart suddenly moved. Corinna carried such a precious thing with her, but she usually had few guards around her. She came alone for the past two days, and she didn't seem to worry about her safety at all.

If she has any guarding power secretly, why didn't she appear in the Twilight Hotel that day?

Or what secrets does she hide that are enough to protect herself?

Leon had no intention of exploring this secret, because Corinne was sincerely treating his friend. If she hadn't taken out the life praise scroll in time that day, I'm afraid she would have been a corpse.

"Corinna..." Leon stopped, turned to the fox girl, and said solemnly, "If one day you need my help, no matter what, even if you want me to give my life!"

Corena was stunned, and then smiled and looked at Leon with a trace of tenderness: "I know, I will remember it in my heart."

After this conversation, the relationship between the two seems to be much closer.

Corin didn't talk anymore. She took Leon's strong arm, gently leaned her head on his shoulder, and walked forward slowly together.

Leon suddenly hoped that this passage would never be finished.

It's just that no matter how long the passage is, there is an end. The two of them continued to walk for about ten minutes, and the front was suddenly cheerful.

A deep underground city suddenly appeared in Leon's sight.

It is said that this dungeon was originally a city of gobls. It has existed for thousands of years, and the time of abandonment could not be verified. It was not until the establishment of Tormond City that it was discovered and used.

Dozens of huge stone pillars are scattered in various positions in the underground space, supporting hundreds of feet of domes. These stone columns are dark and black, and their surface is full of mottled textures, silently telling the vicissitudes of thousands of years.

A series of buildings stand among the stone pillars, centered on a large circular building, radiating evenly around, sketching streets and blocks.

However, there is no moon crystal above the dome. The street lights on the street and the lights of each household provide lighting. From a distance, it is a small city shrouded in night.

On the side of the exit of the passage, a whole row of carriages are neatly arranged.

As soon as Leon and Corinna walked out of the passage, a driver greeted them and saluted them respectfully.

"Let's take a bus to the central auction house first. There is still some time before the official auction starts. We can walk around the surrounding neighborhoods. Maybe there is something you like."

Of course, Leon had no objection. The two got into the carriage together and quickly drove to the center of the city.

There were few pedestrians on the road, so the carriage drove very fast and soon arrived outside the central auction house.

Leon and Corinna got out of the carriage, and Corinne also rewarded the coachman with a gold coin.

This is the center of the dungeon and the most bustling area. There are many shops around the big auction house, which is quite popular.

The people who appeared here were basically nobles, merchants, knights and warriors. Occasionally, several gray-robed priests passed by. The streets were in order, and there were no vagrants, beggars and thieves everywhere in Tormond City.

" By the way, you can't buy purple crystals now. I have entrusted others to sell your mithril star sand gold and magic crystals, so do you have any other needs?" Corinne asked, "I'm still familiar with this place."

"I want to buy some jewelry, preferably with a water magic surname, the more beautiful the better!" Leon replied without hesitation.

This is one of the important reasons why he tried to enter the underground black market. Magic jewelry is a luxury. Although it is sold in Tormond's top jewelry store, the price is too tricky, and it's not that regular customers can't see the best things at all.

"Do you want to give it to a girl?" Corinne smiled and said, "Then you really have to make a good choice."

Magic jewelry is basically made by the craftsmen of the human race and the elf clan, and must be completed with the participation of a mage. A good magic jewelry is quite expensive, but the magic effect attached to it also attracts dignitaries.

The surname of the magic core magic crystal inlaid on the jewelry determines the magic special surname. Those ladies often have a special preference for water magic jewelry, because the color of the magic core of the water system is beautiful, and most of them have the special effect of moisturizing and beauty.

So if a man buys water magic jewelry, it is basically a gift for a woman.

Leon originally wanted to explain, but Corinne had already stepped forward, so he had to catch up quickly.

Corinna took him to a nearby jewelry store. The facade of this jewelry store is not big, and the decoration is also very ordinary. It looks no different from that kind of second- and third-rate small shop.

A middle-aged woman of fox descent sat behind the counter. When Leon and Corinne came in, she was carefully stringing a pearl necklace, and the white and round beads were shining with soft and charming light.

"Miss Corinna, long time no see!"

She looked up and saw Corinna and Leon, and immediately showed a warm smile on her face.

Conena nodded slightly and answered. She went to the counter and said bluntly, "I need some water magic jewelry. Do you have it on hand?"

The middle-aged woman's eyes turned around, revealing a little shrewd cunning: "Water magic jewelry is very popular. I have a new item here. Although it has been ordered, if it is Miss Corinna, you want..."

She turned around, took out a very inconspicuous wooden box from the back shelf, and pushed it in front of Corinne.

Corin opened the lid of the box, and a string of necklaces immediately appeared in front of her and Leon.

This necklace is very beautiful. It is decorated with hundreds of small silver-white water diamonds, a water-blue chicken heart magic crystal in the center is crystal clear and flawless, and there are three water droplets in the bottom chain.

Whether it is color matching or manufacturing process, it is first-class.

"This water blue heart is accompanied by three miniature magic arrays, which can moisturize the skin without dust, and can also meditate and keep the mind clear. It comes from the master of the elf clan..." The middle-aged woman introduced: "It has a history of almost 200 years and belongs to the family inheritance weapon."

"How much is it?" Leon asked.

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "If Miss Corinna wants it, 100,000 gold coins will be sold!"

"I'll pay 120,000 gold coins!"

Before Leon could answer, a loud voice suddenly came from behind.
