"Earth dragon horn, starting at ten gold coins per piece, discounts for larger quantities."
"Raw stone is sold by kilogram. If you want to buy, hurry up and trade on the spot."
"Forget-me-not, sold by weight. Don't miss it if you pass by!"
"Native stone and forget-me-not are sold together while supplies last. Come and have a look! You will make a profit if you buy one."
The mysterious black market was unusually lively, with hawking sounds ringing in the ears. All the black market merchants looked at ease, and they did not think that they needed to avoid selling contraband. Osta pretended to look at the goods, secretly trying to find the teleportation magic circle. If he destroyed the magic teleportation gate of the black market first, he could cut off the other party's supply of goods.
Osta's original plan was to first destroy the magical transmission channel of the mysterious black market, and then destroy the food and material supply route for the Sarahanim. Chris and the other three exclusive accompanying combat maids all used a secret technique similar to cognitive impairment magic to hide and quietly follow Osta.
This was the gentleman prince's initiative. If there were three female attendants around him, even if they were just maids, it would be easy to attract attention and inconvenience Osta's actions. Since Osta entered the mysterious black market, more people have been paying attention to him secretly, not because his identity was exposed, but because they were eyeing the huge amount of money in his hands.
After entering the mysterious black market, Osta deposited all his money into a special deposit agency in the mysterious black market. Many businessmen in the mysterious black market learned this information through various secret channels. They all knew that this gentleman who looked ragged was actually a hidden rich man who brought huge sums of money with him, and they all wanted to trade with him.
Because there are too many people exchanging banknotes recently, the Blom Treasury has set a maximum exchange limit for Brown Coins per person per day. Merchants who can bring so many banknotes must be rich or noble, and their status must be extraordinary. The shabby dress outside is probably just a disguise.
Osta didn't care what outsiders thought, and always wanted to find the magic portal of the mysterious black market to carry out sabotage activities. The area of the mysterious black market was too large. It was Osta's first time here, and he had no map, so it was extremely difficult to find it. There were many people in the market, and it was difficult for Osta to ask passers-by.
When Osta was at a loss, he met a special customer. The customer's dress did not look like he was from this plane or another world. He was out of tune with the surrounding environment and the contrast was obvious.
It was a beautiful girl with white fox ears, and she looked like a beast-eared girl. The pedestrians around seemed to intentionally keep a distance from this white fox girl. This fox girl's appearance and figure were both first-class. According to the aesthetic standards of the human race, there was no obvious flaw in her. Other people at the scene intentionally kept a distance from her, and Osta was a little puzzled.
"Lord Osta, please be careful, that young lady is not a human!"
"I know. We'll just have to act accordingly. They should be foxes! Chris, it seems no one here can speak animal language."
"Lord Osta, don't worry about that. Foxmen are one of the most intelligent branches of the orcs. They can speak human language. Those who can get here will definitely speak human language."
"That's good. It looks like we've found someone who can lead the way for us."
Chapter 53: The Forgotten History of the Chimera Plain
The situation in the Blomfield region is becoming increasingly tense. The three major forces in the territory, the Sarahanim, as a separatist force, are trying to continue the chaotic situation in the region. The Nolanthians, as a unifying force, have formed an alliance with the Lonosbils. Under the secret command of the new lord of the territory, Prince Osta, they intend to end the chaotic situation that has lasted for many years in the Blomfield territory and reunify it.
Although the two sides were on the verge of a war, the outside world was filled with the atmosphere of an imminent war. However, the Chimera Plain, the center of the storm, was unusually calm, without any sense of abnormality, and did not care too much about the fact that the main battlefield was here.
After Osta secretly sneaked into the mysterious black market, he could sense from the atmosphere in the black market that the mysterious black market had a magic portal, so it seemed fearless. Even if the outer barrier was destroyed, the top executives in the mysterious black market could completely escape by relying on the magic portal and retreat with the wealth they had earned through years of huge profits. If they had a way out, they could indeed be so arrogant.
Osta's goal is to find a way to destroy the magic portal, so that the evil merchants in the mysterious black market can't escape. The evil merchants have been secretly at large for so many years, and it's time to pay the price. On the streets of the mysterious black market, Osta met a special alien beauty. The beast-eared girl was a real fox girl with snow-white soft hair. The hair was naturally longer than the waist. Such long hair, among the beauties around Osta, no one's hair can reach this length.
This mysterious fox girl was tall, about 170cm tall, just a little shorter than Osta, with a pair of beautiful eyes that were snow-white. The fox girl's appearance far exceeded that of ordinary human beauties, and she was too beautiful, and was simply a beauty that could bring disaster. Even a senior gentleman like Prince Osta could not find too many suitable words to describe the beauty of this fox girl, and could only secretly call her a vixen.
The fox girl was dressed very ordinary, just a dark coarse cloth, wrapped very tightly, except for her fair and beautiful face, no other parts were exposed. Although the fox girl's personality was not like most traditional vixens who liked to show off their charm all the time, her natural attributes as a fox were there. Even if she didn't want to, her gestures would reveal her seductive charm, which was unavoidable. After all, the fox girl's peak size was at least around size E, which looked plump and with obvious ravines. The gentleman prince was not blind, and he couldn't fail to see such obvious features.
"Ms. Fox, I wonder if you are free now. I would like to ask you some questions."
"I'm always available, but, Sir, do you really not mind? I'm not a living person in my current state!"
"No problem. I'm in the coffin business. It's not like I haven't seen a soul before."
"Sir, you are really interesting. Well, I wonder what question you want to ask me."
"Ms. Fox, this place is not suitable for chatting. Let's go somewhere else."
"No problem, sir. This way please. I will lead the way for you."
The fox girl seemed a little surprised by Osta's initiative to talk to her. The reason why the merchants around her avoided her was very simple. The merchants who had been in the black market for a long time all knew that there was a fox girl soul wandering around here. No one knew the origin of this fox girl, and it was said that she existed before the establishment of the black market.
The soul of the mysterious fox girl can come out and wander around in broad daylight. Fortunately, she and the merchants do not disturb each other and there is peace between the two sides so far.
None of the merchants in the mysterious black market dared to approach and talk to the fox girl's soul, let alone learn about her origins and past experiences. No matter how beautiful the fox girl was, she was just a soul. The merchants would not have any bold ideas. Instead, they were afraid that after talking to the fox girl's soul, they would be infected with bad luck and their business would be affected.
Osta was an outsider and was not really doing business, so he was not afraid of bad luck. As a time traveler, Osta's hometown before traveling through time was at least from an ancient Eastern country with a long history on Earth. After repeatedly confirming it in advance, after talking to the fox girl, some of his ideas became more certain.
This fox girl's soul is not a native of this plane. It is obvious that she is a different species that has traveled through this plane by unknown means. She should be a fox that has practiced for a long time and has a certain level of Taoism. Now this state is just a soul out of the body, and the body is not here. There are fox people in some alien continents in this plane, such as the Orc Continent.
Although Osta had never seen a fox man, from the fox girl's soul calling him "Young Master", he was definitely a fox who traveled from the hometown of a gentleman prince. She had no relationship with the beast-eared girls and fox people in the other world of this plane.
"Miss Fox, no... I'm sorry for being disrespectful. Fairy Fox, I want to have my fortune told. Can you help me figure out where the teleportation magic circle of this market is? If possible, it would be even better if you could help me predict the future."
"Young Master, you...you are...that's not right, you don't have any cultivation, you can't be a cultivator..."
"Fox Fairy, your point of view is a little wrong! No one stipulates that only cultivators can come here. Ordinary people can also come here."
"Sir, I just said something wrong. Please come over here, Xue Rou will help you with your fortune."
The fox girl soul's beautiful face, which was originally indifferent, became interesting because of Osta's arrival, and a puzzled look appeared in her beautiful eyes. Osta had previously guessed and had the idea of taking a gamble. Now it seems that he is quite lucky and this time the gamble was right.
The fox girl's soul led Osta to a dilapidated temple in the mysterious black market. The environment of this temple was different from the environment of the entire alien world. The temple's shape from inside to outside was the style of a temple in an ancient country in the East on Earth.
The temple is very old, and almost no one comes to offer sacrifices or worship. There is not even a little incense. There are no statues of gods and Buddhas for worship in the temple. There is a wooden tablet at the offering position, just like the ancestral tablets when families worship their ancestors on Earth. The words on the wooden tablet are no longer clear, and there is a large blurry area. If you don't pay attention, you might think it is a blank tablet.
She had already told Osta the name of the fox spirit, a name with an oriental flavor. After Osta entered the Fox Fairy Temple, he subconsciously covered his mouth and nose with his hands. No one had come to worship in the temple for a long time, and no one had cleaned it. There was a lot of smoke and dust, and traces of dust could be seen everywhere.
White Fox Xue Rou was used to it. She walked straight to the altar and looked at the wooden tablet of herself thoughtfully. That was the spirit tablet of the fox fairy. She was in a spirit state now, and her feet did not touch the floor at all. The dusty environment that made Osta helpless had no effect on White Fox Xue Rou.
Even though he was in a different world, Osta still followed the traditional etiquette before crossing over and burned incense at the Fox Fairy Temple. He was the first visitor to burn incense at the Fox Fairy Temple in all these years. After lighting the incense, the Fox Fairy Xueruo's body, which was originally looming and seemed a little illusory, became much more real.
Xue Rou, like an oriental Taoist fortune teller, turned her back to Osta and began to calculate. After a moment, Xue Rou's face suddenly changed, and she looked very nervous. Her beautiful snow-white eyes showed fear and awe, and she was looking at the position next to Osta.
The three exclusive accompanying battle maids behind Osta, Chris and the others, are currently using concealment magic and are in a state of cognitive impairment. Xue Rou should not be able to see it, and there is a high probability that she calculated it.
"Sir, you... you are destined to have a noble person to help you. Xue Rou dare not predict your future fate. As for the teleportation magic circle you mentioned, you'd better not go!"
"Xue Rou, do you know something? To be honest, I came here to destroy the teleportation magic circle."
"Sir, the teleportation magic circle is based on the terms of this world. That is not a real teleportation magic circle, but a large formation from our world."
"Xue Rou, no matter what the origin of that formation is, whether it is a teleportation magic formation or a Qiankun Bagua formation, I must destroy it this time. If you can provide me with assistance, I will find a way to repay your help in the future."
"Sir, since you insist so much, then I won't hide it. This story starts a long time ago. Back then..."
Osta's insistence finally made Xue Rou give in. She sorted out her thoughts and recalled the past. It turned out that the teleportation magic circle on the Chimera Plain was not the kind of teleportation magic circle set up by magicians and other magic professions in the different continents of this plane, but a large formation from an ancient country in the east of the earth.
The white fox fairy Xue Rou in front of Osta, with snow-white hair and beautiful snow-white eyes, was originally a fairy fox that cultivated to the level of nine tails. She originally cultivated on Earth and lived in seclusion in the mountains. It was unexpected that Xue Rou would appear in this plane of another world and travel here. She had fought with her nemesis, a nine-tailed fox from the island country of Japan, and a black fox.
The two sides wanted to fight for a mysterious jade from ancient times with unknown origins. The jade has special power, and if used as a magic weapon, it will be very useful when overcoming the heavenly tribulation. One black and one white, two foxes with profound Taoism, fought fiercely on the sea to fight for the jade.
On that day, the two foxes fought, causing violent storms and heavy rains over the entire sea area, and the dark sky was filled with lightning and thunder. At the most critical moment of the fight, before the magatama was snatched, the two fox fairies triggered a heavenly calamity and were hit by the thunderbolts that could not bear to watch.
At the critical moment before their souls were scattered, the two fox demons temporarily turned enemies into friends in order to survive. They led their souls into the magatama and fell asleep with their consciousness. When they woke up, it was many years after they came to this alien world.
Xue Rou is now only a spirit, but her cultivation skills are still there, all sealed in the mysterious magatama. Her nemesis, the black fox, is temporarily hiding in the magatama and cannot show up. After all, the black fox was originally an evil cultivator, and the damage he suffered when he encountered the heavenly tribulation was much more severe than that of Xue Rou, who was an upright cultivator. He has not recovered yet, and it is impossible for him to leave the magatama.
This fox fairy temple is not dedicated to Xue Rou and her nemesis Black Fox, but to a fox fairy who had traveled here before. After the two fox demons were teleported here, they temporarily used this place and lived there for many years until they met Osta today.
"Xue Rou, your power is sealed in the mysterious magatama?"
"Yes, sir. The mysterious jade is the energy core that maintains the formation. It seems that someone deliberately set a trap. Anyway, when I woke up, I was trapped in the jade. Fortunately, I have practiced some special soul-leaving secrets before, otherwise, you would not be able to see me."
"That's easy, Xue Rou. Tell me the location of the formation. When I destroy it, I'll grab the magatama. If you crush the magatama, your power will return."
"Sir, this is too dangerous. I don't know who is behind this!"
"I don't care about that. I have a way to deal with it. Xue Rou, you just need to tell me the location."
"Sir, since you have made up your mind, I will provide all the help I can."
According to Xue Rou's recollection, after the fox fairy woke up, she found that everything seemed to be a trap. After she and her old enemy Black Fox were sealed in the mysterious magatama, they traveled to this plane of another world, and they traveled to a place similar to ancient ruins under the Chimera Plain.
This ancient relic is located underground in the mysterious black market. There is an inevitable connection between the two parties, but it is unclear who is behind the underground relic. So far, this relic has been in high-speed operation. There is a mysterious force hidden in the dark, controlling everything. There are many magatama on the teleportation magic circle. Many cultural relics from ancient oriental countries can be seen everywhere in the ancient relic.
Osta didn't care about other things. After learning the location of the teleportation magic circle from Xueruo, he planned to take action. When the time comes, he will explore the ancient underground ruins and destroy the teleportation magic circle. He will also snatch the magatama that seals Xueruo, as a way of helping.
When Osta was shopping at the Crossover Cheat Code Exchange System Store, exchanging and purchasing various cheat codes, this gentleman prince had a general understanding of the plane he crossed into by communicating with the souls of other reincarnated people. Although the Creation Gods of various planes were very secretive about the affairs of this plane, as if they had something to hide, Osta still sorted out a lot of things after compiling and summarizing the scattered information from other reincarnated souls.
The plane of creation that Osta was in must have had some major problems with the plane creation god who was originally in charge of managing it. Since the demise of the prehistoric civilization, he has completely given up managing this plane of creation. Without the management of the creation god, the space-time barrier is no longer solid. In addition to the traditional time travelers and reincarnators, some practitioners can travel through it.
Without the constraints of the Creator God, there is no heavenly tribulation in this plane of another world. If a cultivator appears here, he can almost do whatever he wants. Without the scruples of heavenly tribulation, it is easy to embark on the path of evil cultivation.
The ancient ruins that trapped the white fox fairy Xue Rou, according to Xue Rou's memory and description of the environment, Osta speculated that it was done by a cultivator. The external cheating finger of the cultivator is built-in, which is different from the time traveler and reincarnation.
The two sides were not originally from the same system. Under normal circumstances, there would be no possibility of meeting in the same plane. The possibility was extremely low. Unless there was a plane with special circumstances, such as the plane that Osta traveled to, the plane creator god who was originally in charge of management was missing, and the order was disrupted.
"Sir, please be careful! The manager of this secret black market has a long-term cooperative relationship with the mastermind behind the underground ancient ruins. They will not cooperate with the operation."
"Xue Rou, wait here for my good news! I'm going to attack them all anyway, so it's no problem to just wipe them out at once."
"Chris, did Xueluo see you just now?"
"Lord Osta, the little white fox was calculating and didn't see us. You can rest assured about this. The magic between us and her is not from the same system."
"Lord Osta, the little white fox's spells are still useful, but they are ineffective against us."
Osta said goodbye to Xue Rou and came out of the dilapidated Fox Fairy Temple. He secretly confirmed the situation with Chris and the other three. Xue Rou did not see them. After confirming that Xue Rou did not find Chris and the others, Osta breathed a sigh of relief. The other cultivators should not be able to see them either.
In this way, the gentleman prince will have more initiative. As long as the cultivators cannot identify Chris's stealth and concealment magic, Osta will have more advantages and more sneak attacks.
Before Osta went to find the manager behind the mysterious black market, he didn't expect the other party to come to him on his own initiative. As soon as Osta walked out of the Fox Fairy Temple, he saw a team of black carriages parked not far from the entrance of the Fox Fairy Temple. The decoration of the black carriages was very high. These gorgeous carriages showed at a glance that the financial strength of the mastermind behind the scenes was very strong.
In the front carriage, there was a butler in a black suit. The butler was bald and had a scar on his face, just above his left eye. The butler had a fierce expression on his face and didn't look like a proper butler at all. The black suit he was wearing looked very out of place, and he must have put it on reluctantly.
The butler was supposed to be from the underworld. His appearance and style were typical of a gangster. The only drawback was that he didn't have a machete or other weapon on the back of his suit.
After Osta came out, the butler walked up quickly, revealing an awkward smile on his fierce face. After all, he was not born in a formal family. Normal butlers would serve with a smile, but this fierce butler in front of him would definitely not do that. It was good enough that he could smile. That smile was too weird, and Osta felt it was better not to smile.
"Brother, I heard that you are here to purchase raw stones? My boss wants to meet you. He has a lot of raw stones and is eager to sell them. Of course, there are many interesting goods. As long as you want to purchase, everything can be discussed."
"I am indeed here to purchase raw stones, but who is your boss? I don't know him."
"Brother, you'll know when we get there. Hurry up and get in the car! It's not good to keep the boss waiting for too long."
"Okay, I'll go take a look. The quantity of raw stones I want to purchase is very large. Is your boss's inventory okay?"
"Of course it's no problem, brother. I'm not bragging, but the entire market belongs to my boss."
Osta didn't ask any more questions and got into the car quickly. The boss behind the scenes was most likely the manager of this mysterious black market. There could be no one else except the boss of the mysterious black market who could come up with such a big deal.
Aosta had previously deposited a huge amount of Brown Coins in a depository of the mysterious black market. As the behind-the-scenes boss of the mysterious black market, he had received the news a long time ago. After seeing the huge amount of banknotes, he wanted to trade with Aosta.
The carriage traveled a long distance before stopping. After getting off the carriage, Osta saw the residence of the mysterious black market boss. The boss's residence was a magnificent and large villa. The villa covered a huge area. Osta estimated that the area of the villa exceeded that of his lord's mansion.
The style of the boss of the mysterious black market is somewhat like those nouveau riche who became rich overnight on Earth, and spared no effort in showing off their wealth. The entire building material of this super large villa, even the walls outside the villa, are built with gold bricks. The whole villa is a golden villa. The owner of the villa seems to be afraid that outsiders don't know that he is rich.
As soon as Osta got off the carriage, he was almost blinded by the golden light emitted by the Golden Villa. Even the royal family members of the Obelisk Empire, Osta's brothers, none of them were luxurious enough to use gold bricks to build their own lord's mansion.
The boss of the mysterious black market has secretly made a lot of money in recent years through three secret industries, including earth dragon horns, native stones and worry-free grass. This golden villa is probably just the tip of the iceberg, and it can be regarded as one of the physical evidences of the mysterious black market boss's huge profits.
After arriving at the Golden Villa, Osta discovered that he was not the only merchant invited. The boss of the mysterious black market had invited all the wealthy merchants who were active in the mysterious black market. It seemed that the boss had some goods that he was eager to sell. Osta happened to appear in the mysterious black market at this time and had a large amount of banknotes in his hands, so he was invited.
"Why did the boss invite us here to eat and drink and have fun this time?"
"I don't know about that. I heard that they were in a hurry to sell a batch of special strategic materials. I heard that they robbed..."
"What? You dare to hijack arms? The boss's order is too big. Aren't you afraid of that empire..."
"I'm not afraid of that. This is the Central Continent, and the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. It is said that the second prince of the Obelisk Empire, Oster, has recently assembled a large army and is preparing to attack that empire. They are unable to take care of themselves, and this batch of arms has been robbed, so they can only suffer in silence."
"That's right, Boss, at least you helped the Obelisk Empire. Second Prince Oster might want to thank our boss in the future!"
Osta roughly understood what happened from the gossips of the merchants around him. The boss of the mysterious black market wanted to sell a batch of difficult materials that had been robbed as soon as possible. The military materials, various equipment and supplies belonging to a certain empire.
The empire that was robbed wanted to send this batch of supplies to its overseas colonies in the Central Continent. The victim's territory had recently been attacked by a large army led by Oster, the second prince of the Obelisk Empire. After the attack, the border was in a state of emergency and urgently needed the support of this batch of military supplies.
Osta thought of how his second brother Oster had approached him specifically to discuss borrowing food supplies, and felt extremely embarrassed for a moment. This was such a coincidence. He was an indirect accomplice, providing food supply support for his second brother's invasion of other countries.
Chapter 54: The Evil Side of the Mysterious Black Market
The secret black market hidden on the Chimera Plain has no clear name to the outside world. People who have been doing business here for many years privately call this market the "Nameless Market", secretly using this nickname to refer to the mysterious black market.
Lord Aosta disguised himself as a wealthy businessman who came here to purchase goods for the first time and successfully entered the secret black market. The gentleman prince also unexpectedly received an invitation from the mysterious black market owner to participate in a special trade fair.
There are all kinds of goods in the mysterious black market. As a prince of the empire, Aosta thought he was well-informed, but he didn't expect that the goods on display in the mysterious black market really opened Aosta's eyes. In addition to the three traditional hot-selling goods: earth dragon horns, native stones and forget-me-nots, there are also many special goods in the mysterious black market, many of which seem to be ancient cultural relics, pottery jars, and bronze utensils.
These cultural relics are full of oriental charm, and they are obviously from an ancient oriental country with a long history of ancient civilization on Earth. Osta almost thought he had traveled back to the underground cultural relic market on Earth, the sense of déjà vu was too strong. These cultural relics are said to have been dug out from the underground of the Chimera Plain, and their origins are still an unsolved mystery.
The soul of the nine-tailed snow fox, Xue Rou, the white fox fairy whom Osta had seen before in a dilapidated fox fairy temple, had briefly described to Osta the general situation of the mysterious black market in Chimera Plain. Under the mysterious black market, there was a strange ancient relic that seemed to be a civilization that did not belong to this other world. Those cultural relics were excavated from the underground relic.
The natives of this alien world are not familiar with the civilization of the ancient Eastern country on Earth. Therefore, these cultural relics that can be sold at sky-high prices in auction houses on Earth are all treated as garbage in this alien world because of their unknown uses. The selling prices are so low that it is shocking to say that they are cheap. It is almost like they are given away for free.
Bronze ware is a little more valuable, after all, bronze can be used as material again after being refined in a furnace. Porcelain and jade ware are worthless and cannot be recycled into materials. As for various ink paintings, in the eyes of the natives of the other world, they are just waste paper and are just given away casually.
When Osta saw these cultural relics and commodities before, he was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses. Who would have thought that the cultural relics that were invaluable on Earth would be worthless in this other world. Only bronze ware could be exchanged for some raw materials, and the rest were almost given away for free.
Osta was going to attend a special trade fair held by a mysterious black market boss, so he didn't buy any of these artifacts for the time being. He wanted to collect some of these artifacts, after all, they were artifacts from Earth, and seeing them would bring back memories of his hometown.
"Don't worry, brothers. The boss has some important matters that he needs to deal with personally. He will be here soon. Please wait here for a moment."
"Charlie, everyone knows your boss's character. It's okay to come later. The boss is always very considerate in his hospitality."
"Everyone, feel free to play. When the boss comes, he will notify everyone."
"Walk slowly, you must be new here! Don't just stand there, come and enjoy yourself, everything here is free."
