"My servant Irene pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen!!"
"Ah yes...! Your servant Cyril pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen!!"
Seeing these two people in a panic, bowing down to the identity document in their hands in the most humble gesture they could think of, even though it was just a fabricated identity in a flash of inspiration, Wei Lisi couldn't help feeling... Power is too much for ordinary people. It's more convenient.
Even such unruly slanted bangs have to bow down before the majesty that symbolizes the lord of a country. This is a completely different feeling from relying on strength to convince people.
It's no wonder that many people try their best and think hard to become a powerful and high-ranking official and make a further step in their official career. This sense of contrast can indeed satisfy the vanity of creatures.
It's a pity that to Wei Lisi, it's not a big deal.
"Hmmm, you all... excuse me, since you understand that our actions are in accordance with His Majesty's will, then you must do your best to assist in eradicating this criminal gang entrenched in the dark side of the city, understand?"
Because she had never done this kind of thing before, Wei Lisi didn't know how the real Queen's envoy should speak at such a time, but all in all, it's not wrong to say some silly scenes to show that she is confident...it should be.
"Yes! We will do our best to assist the envoy!"
Seeing that the black-haired girl finally took back the gorgeous document representing the status of the king's royal driver, the two kneeling down breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up nervously and complicatedly. The eyes they looked at Wei Lisi and the others were obviously different.
That is the emotion called awe.
Probably this is the impact of the status gap. For some reason, Wei Lisi suddenly remembered a sentence written in a book by a literati on Blue Star.
There is already a sadly thick barrier between us.
Chapter 402: Chapter 30: Visitors of the Underground Black Market
"Okay, hurry up and contact the contact person, this is for you, if the other party arrives, find a chance to crush it, and we can receive the news here."
Because Irene said that they are not recommended to stay near the contact point, and Wei Lisi is not good at staying. It just so happens that you can take this opportunity to go to the underground black market below, which is said to "not sell any serious things", to see if you can buy some interesting things.
What she gave Irene was not a treasure, but a small magic item bought by Miss Priest in Sky City, two fragile stones the size of peanuts, even ordinary people can destroy them with force, and among them When any one is destroyed, the other will also be broken at the same time. It is a gadget used to convey simple messages, and it is probably not difficult to make.
"Then I..."
"Slanted bangs, you can follow Irene to protect her safety. We meet again after a long time. You should have a lot to say. The two of you have relatively small goals. If you pay attention, there should be no problems."
Seeing the man's hesitation, Wei Lisi decisively sent this guy away. They didn't need slanted bangs to protect anything. They might as well stay with Irene, who was just an ordinary person, as insurance. After all, it's not safe for a girl to be alone in such an extrajudicial place.
Of course, the main reason is that when Miss Pastor doesn't want to play, she is accompanied by a man who always puts on a dead fish eye.
Under Slanted Liu Hai and Irene's grateful eyes, the four parted ways temporarily, one of them went to the black market and soon disappeared, while Wei Lisi and her pet started wandering in a random direction to pass the time.
This underground black market has no name, no guards at the gate, and it is not very clean and tidy. Walking along the road, you can often even see traces of unknown liquids of various colors on the roadside, corners and alleyways.
Wei Lisi and Xiaolongniang's sense of smell is far more acute than that of ordinary people. Even if they just pass by, they can easily catch the strange smell emitted by these things after they have been placed for a long time.
There are everything, the irritating gas mixed with medicinal materials, the smell of blood, the smell of various unexplainable biological fluids and even the smell of feces, and many strange smells that have never been touched and cannot be distinguished at all, which made the girls frown. wrinkle.
After leaving the oblique bangs and Irene who were outsiders, Xiaolongniang no longer maintained her previous taciturn appearance, probably to divert her attention from those strange smells, she asked actively as she walked.
"Master, the Moon Shadow cub has been captured for several months, do you think it is really still alive? If human beings want to cut off this threat that may grow up in advance, wouldn't it be the easiest to kill immediately after catching it?"
Looking at her pet walking with her nose covered, Wei Lisi smiled casually.
"That's the reason, but Xiaoguang, since the monsters are still active in the city, it means that they should have something to rely on, and I guess humans would not kill that cub so casually."
"People... the greed of most creatures has no boundaries. When the possibility is in front of them, they will want more. From preventing the enemy from obtaining the power of the mythical species to meddling in it, it is only a matter of thought."
Miss Julong was thoughtful.
"You mean, humans want to use that cub as an experiment, or even decipher the reason why it transformed into a mythical species?"
"Well... almost. After all, in this world where force is paramount, who doesn't want to become stronger? The power of the mythical species is already close to invincible for the human race, not to mention that there may still be A secret about the gods is involved."
The two women walked and chatted. Although there were quite a few pedestrians on the roadside, most of them chose to cover their faces with hoods or various methods. When they passed each other, they would deliberately avoid a certain distance, probably to guard against pickpockets. Come on, it can be seen that they are very cautious and do not want to reveal their true identities.
There are definitely thieves in this kind of underworld market, and there must be a lot of them. After all, even the official guards who maintain order cannot be seen here. One can imagine how rampant crime will be.
In fact, along the way, Wei Lisi's second daughter did encounter a few guys who were blind and wanted to attack them, both men and women, but unfortunately, how could such a small trick be hidden from Miss Pastor, let alone... She would not carry the money directly with her at all.
Wei Lisi didn't really get on the line, at most she hinted that Xiaolongniang would take away Longwei at the first touch, and the thieves who were about to reach out were so scared that they collapsed on the ground and foamed at the mouth, and left them alone.
And even if this kind of thing happened, the passers-by on the side of the road would only cast a little indifferent or watchful eyes, and no one would come up to meddle in their own business. It seemed that they had already become accustomed to similar situations.
It's truly a lawless place.
Most of the vendors in this underground black market sell directly in the form of street stalls. Even if there is a building, it is the kind of dark hut similar to a small shop. It is rare to see large-scale and institutionalized large shops.
But thinking about it, in this kind of place, if there is no background and self-confidence, who would dare to leave a large amount of fixed assets?
After walking for a while, Wei Lisi randomly picked a roadside stall and stopped to look at it. Passing by many stalls, she found that most of the things here were basically sealed bottles and jars, and she couldn't tell anything just by looking at them.
The owner of this stall is a middle-aged man with a bald head and an unattractive appearance. He wears some worn-out armor, and there are still a few spots of blood that have dried up and darkened. He is sitting on a wooden chair with his legs crossed and yawning bored.
A saber that was also bloodstained was leaning against his leg, and anyone could tell that it was definitely not for sale.
In front of him was the same as the others, just spread a space on the ground with a cloth, on which were placed various porcelain pots, special metals and even unwashed materials—probably peeled off from monsters or monsters, exuding a fishy smell.
Seeing someone appearing in front of the booth, he just glanced up from the corner of his eyes at first, but he was slightly startled when he saw the naked faces of the two girls, he quickly patted his buttocks and stood up, slashing his sword and holding on On the stool, he rubbed his hands together in the air, posing in a shape that fit Wei Lisi's impression of being a profiteer.
The boss suddenly reacted so strongly, it must not be because he knew the two daughters of Wei Lisi, after all, they were all wearing [cognitive barrier masks]. If you think about it, it is nothing more than Miss Priest and Xiaolongniang's appearance far surpassing that of ordinary human women, which made him feel amazing.
After all, this world is different from Blue Star. Bloodline is not a mysterious thing that has no practical meaning, but a real power that can be passed down.
Not to mention the many alien races and monsters, even humans, most nobles are born with stronger magic affinity, appearance or physical fitness than ordinary civilians.
This is a gift left by their ancestors who once possessed great power through blood, or it is a kind of screening, only outstanding people can have the opportunity to become the existence called "Noble".
So, even if we don't say [-]%, if a woman with astonishing beauty, noble temperament, and undisguised deeds suddenly appears in this kind of place, there are nine out of ten her origins will not be ordinary.
Except for Laoyoutiao and Lengtouqing, or very powerful bosses, ordinary people dare not show their faces in the black market casually.
"Welcome, welcome! Uh... I don't know what the two ladies need?"
"Well, what do you sell here?"
While speaking, the bald man's obviously rough but somewhat small eyes glanced at the two women, as if he was observing who was the one talking between them. In the last position, this guy who has already become a master has a judgment.
Seeing Wei Lisi speak, he immediately clapped his hands, and smiled in a flattering tone that completely didn't match his fierce appearance.
"Hey, I have a lot of treasures. A distinguished and beautiful young lady like you should be more interested in beauty and skin care products. Take a look at this bottle, which is ground into a powder from the alpine ice lotus in the snow country in the north of the world. It is a fine product extracted from more than a dozen precious materials. Apply it in the morning and evening, and within a month, it is guaranteed to make your skin whiter and smoother! And this one here..."
Chapter 403: Chapter 31: I hate people who only talk half-talk!
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Seeing that the bald boss was talking like a cannonball, and he didn't intend to shut up at all, Wei Lisi was shocked by this guy's eloquence, and at the same time, she quickly reached out to stop him.
She doesn't need any skin care products, and if the ice lotus in the snow country that this guy talks about is the same thing as Wei Lisi knows, it is something that only grows on snow-capped mountains at least 5000 meters above sea level. The living conditions are harsh and the number is extremely rare, usually guarded by powerful monsters.
Moreover, once the ice lotus leaves the special environment in which it grows, it will quickly wither and lose its effectiveness if there is no way to preserve it. Even in the Snow Country itself, it is a rare item that only the royal family and nobles can enjoy.
I heard that this thing, used properly, can directly improve the talent and strength of ice-type creatures. In the northern snow country with similar attributes, it can almost be said to be a treasure.
In the underground black market far away in the Town of Demon Town, there is no possibility, if not no possibility, that medicines made from ice lotus from the Snow Country will exist, and Wei Lisi doesn't think it will appear in such a casual stall.
Instead of looking at the so-called skin care products, the girl squatted down, fiddled with the bottles and jars in front of her a few times, and looked up at the bald boss curiously.
"Why don't you have any labels on these medicines? Just rely on one mouth, who can know what it's selling?"
"Hey, what's the matter here, oh... Miss. Is this the first time you've come to the underground black market? Everything here is like this, the fate sells, the fate buys, and the effect is all in our hearts. If you really don't know the goods, you should be cheated."
As he said that, the bald boss quickly patted his head and hurriedly clarified.
"Of course! These are all genuine products! After all, my seventh master has been doing business here for a few days, so there's no need to smash the signboard for a little money, right?"
"Really…….."
The girl glanced noncommittally at the items on the stall.
This bald man who calls himself the seventh master should not be a lone ranger, and there is probably a small team behind him.
After all, no matter the amount of these fresh materials or the seemingly wide variety of medicines, it is obvious that one person cannot make them. This guy is probably only in charge of sales.
A small... poaching gang?
It is estimated that most of the stalls here are in a similar situation. Through the platform jointly built by large gangs, they sell the stolen goods that are not suitable for selling on the bright side, and then pay a certain commission or a fixed stall fee to the above, forming such an ecological economic chain.
Willis clapped her hands and stood up.
"Qiye, right? How long has this underground black market of yours been around?"
"Oh... So this is what you two want."
The bald head was not annoyed by Wei Lisi's delay in buying the goods, but he gave a low laugh and rubbed his fingers in a philistine manner.
"Hey, of course we also sell information and the like here, but at this price..."
"Yes, as long as the news you give is indeed valuable, money is not a problem."
Miss pastor casually flicked an object at the other party.
"Say."
"Oh oh oh! Miss is so refreshing, my seventh master likes to do business with people like you!"
The bald head reached out to catch the gold coin that fell steadily in his arms, bit it again with his teeth, checked the quality, and the smile on his face immediately became sincere.
"The underground black market in this town of magic. I don't know exactly when it appeared, but at least it existed decades ago. Qi Ye, I have been doing business here for almost ten years. As early as when we first came here, it is almost what it is now."
"Has it been ingrained for so long..."
It seems that, as Lilia said at the beginning, poaching and criminal gangs existed in this country a long, long time ago.
Existence is the truth, poachers can not be wiped out, in the final analysis, or the influence of national culture.
Willis dislikes the tradition of extreme rejection of alien races in the United Kingdom of Humanity, not because she is an advocate of racial equality, but simply because of the existence of that thing, which makes her feel troublesome.
Because of this trend, companions like Xiaolongniang and Leila Renee, who obviously have alien characteristics, have to hide some of their organs and pretend to be human to avoid trouble.
Even if they were actually seen, there wouldn't be any serious consequences, but trouble is trouble, especially with Lilia's relationship.
If possible, she really hopes to change this distorted atmosphere, at least stop doing anything that persecutes aliens as political correctness.
However, even if Willis intends to do something, this deep tradition integrated into the national culture cannot be solved by her alone. Miss Priest can't kill all the human beings who discriminate against other races.
It's better to take one step at a time and talk about it later.
"Then since you've been here for ten years, you must know a lot about the founders of this black market and those large poaching gangs, don't you tell me?"
Before Seventh Master could speak, Wei Lisi took the initiative to throw out another gold coin. It didn't matter how much she wanted.
Of course, you can't give too much to the other party. There are basically few good things in the gangsters. What you need to pay attention to is an insatiable greed. Only by grasping the degree of bribery can you firmly control the direction of the topic with simple means.
Sure enough, the bald man who got a small benefit immediately smiled, and he didn't have any intention of keeping it a secret, so he continued to talk immediately.
"Hey, miss, you are really good. To tell you the truth, there is indeed a behind-the-scenes boss in this place, and there is more than one."
"This underground black market in the magic city is divided into four areas, southeast, northwest, and controlled by the four largest underworld groups, namely the People's League in the East, the Brotherhood in the West, the Ghost Thieves in the South, and the Poison Blade in the North. .”
"Among them, the People's League is the most powerful, and basically has a hand in any business; the Brotherhood has the largest number of people, mainly engaged in debt collection and hired fights, which is equivalent to a mercenary group that does everything; the Ghost Thieves Group is the largest poaching gang in Zhenmo City.
"Ghost Thieves?"
Wei Lisi raised her brows lightly when she heard the key words, and Qi Ye quickly nodded in agreement as if offering a treasure.
"That's right, that's right, you really caught the point right away. In fact, a little further south of the area we are in now is the southern area managed by the ghost thieves group."
"However, something seems to have happened a while ago. Many members of the ghost thief group have withdrawn. I heard that no one has even collected the rent. It is already in a state of no owner. Hehe, although I said so, but in fact... . . . "
The boss deliberately stopped the topic here, and secretly glanced at the second daughter with his thief-like eyes. Even if he didn't make any movements, his intentions were obvious.
Wei Lisi frowned, and she took out another gold coin, but this time, instead of lightly tossing it to the other party like the previous two times, she threw it abruptly!
"bass!"
The edgeless metal currency flashed past Qiye's ears like lightning, pierced through the blade and wooden stool of the saber, and was deeply embedded in the ground, leaving only a small half exposed to the outside world.
After a long while, the bald head seemed to finally come to his senses. He touched the bloodstains on his face, his sly smile gradually froze, and cold sweat broke out visibly to the naked eye.
"There is no next time."
The girl said so indifferently.
"Hey! Yes, yes, yes! The villain, the villain has eyes but no eyes. I don't know your supernatural means, so I'm so complacent! Master, spare your life, spare your life!!!"
"?"
Qi Ye's reaction was more intense than Willis imagined.
