Chapter 178

Every city has its own black market. Most of the black markets are within the control of the city hall. You can only rest assured if you put them under their noses. At the same time, why not ban the black market? Because it is impossible to completely ban the black market.

Once the suppression becomes severe, it will truly go underground. That’s when the trouble begins. Without supervision, anything can happen.

Drake City Black Market is located in a not particularly remote place in the East District. It is usually a seemingly ordinary and depressed commercial street. It is closed every night at night, at least it seems so to the outside world. But the closed block gate

But there are three to four double-aisle shops outside that can be accessed. Each shop is staffed by mid-to-high-level knights, mid-to-high-level warriors, and some secret managers are responsible for the management.

To enter here, you need to be led by an acquaintance. You have to pay five gold coins for the first time, and then get a small sign. In the future, you only need one gold coin each time you hold this small sign. Real regular customers will upgrade their identity cards, and finally they will become one.

A silver coin can pass through. However, those with real connections can pass through unimpeded. Such is the existence of Jasmine Senior Knight.

He swaggered into the half-open store door and slapped the store owner who was pretending to sleep awake. He was a mid-level soldier in his forties or fifties and a retired city defense force. "Hey, Lord Bloody Rose, I haven't been to the store for a long time.

Are you here today?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? This guy is a new member of our Master's House. He is codenamed Scholar. Get him an identity card that costs one silver coin for each pass." Senior Knight Jasmine knew the virtues of this group of people very well.

The latter shrugged helplessly, looked at the little guy who was fully armed from head to toe, nodded slightly and quickly recorded his basic characteristics, and then took out a small black sign the size of a coin, but there were two words on the back of the sign.

Silver stripes.

"After you go in, please keep your eyes open. There are good things inside, but you can't see them without a little bit of eyesight. You also need to learn how to bargain. There are a lot of gangsters in there. Don't be too skilled at tricking people." Senior Knight Jasmine also said.

It's a headache. I have been cheated before, but I used my fists to regain my position afterwards. I can use this method. After all, I have the Kendall family as my backer. I have this capital, but Little Will can't. Starshan

Wizards cannot be disclosed to a large extent. In the black market, most of them are just ordinary warriors, hunters, thieves, etc. There are not many dark side characters who are well hidden.

"Don't worry, eldest sister, I won't let the little scholar brothers suffer as long as I'm here." The black merchant vowed, patting his chest to confirm, but received a vicious look from Jasmine, "Back then, you brought the animal trainer, singer and

That's what Catwoman said when she came."

The black businessman, who knew he was in the wrong, suddenly withered. He looked around and finally pulled Xiao Weier around two doors and came to a noisy street. There were two-story buildings all around, but the lights were relatively low.

One meter high, so that the light cannot spread as much as possible without affecting the business here. The whole street is not very long, only a few hundred meters. There are many shops around, but more of them are small shops that can be seen everywhere on the ground.

Stall.

A piece of animal skin or cloth, with more or less strange things on it, no one shouted loudly, everyone looked at the stall lazily, and there were already many people bargaining around. People who walked into the shop

There are relatively few of them. Most people who go Taobao like roadside stalls. Although they are more likely to lose money, they can make a lot of money once they find treasures. Although there are many genuine things in the shops, the prices are also very high.

"Hey, black merchant, long time no see. How many good things have you collected this time?" A middle-aged fat man with a big belly was just about to leave. When he saw the black merchant, he couldn't help but come up and say hello, "This guy is very unfamiliar.

Ah, is this the newcomer you introduced?" He winked at the black merchant and made a hidden gesture.

The black merchant was so angry that he almost wanted to go up and beat him up, "Am I the kind of person who likes to cheat my friends? This is a real expert in appraisal, a scholar. Brother scholar is not an ordinary person, Senior Derek

The talented students in the college are very good at ancient literature and appraisal." As for the true identity of the scholar, the black businessman was not concerned, but he also had some guesses, so he said it casually, and Xiao Weier did not refute it, but faced the fat man.

He smiled slightly and nodded.

"Hey, he turns out to be a professional, no wonder." The fat man blinked his eyes obscenely, but he was quite disdainful in his heart. A talented student from Delek Academy? Haha, are there not many so-called experts from the academy who have been cheated here?

The fat man who originally planned to leave, after the black merchant took Little Will for a tour, immediately turned back to find a few familiar stalls and spread the news that the black merchant had brought a new person here, and this new person was Derek.

The so-called talented students in high-level colleges were passed on to ten and hundreds, and suddenly the entire black market knew that the black merchants had brought fat sheep again, but this time they didn't know who would benefit.

I took Xiao Weier to visit two stalls, quietly pointed out the fakes inside, and introduced some common counterfeiting techniques and identification methods. The black merchant was busy setting up his own stall. He once wanted to trick him.

The "antiques" that had failed for Little Weir were put out one by one, and people immediately gathered around them, excluding Little Weir.

These bastards really thought that they were blind "fat sheep"! Seeing that these people intentionally or unintentionally separated themselves from the black businessmen, Xiao Weir couldn't possibly know what these bastards were planning, but he had a cheat

People, just wait to be picked up by me.

The stalls that I just passed by have determined that there is nothing worth buying. Except for fakes, they are just ordinary things and there is no extraordinary item. Xiao Weier then walked slowly and looked at them, making up his mind to see from one end to the other, and then

Then turn back and look at the other side, trying to get everything you like as soon as possible.

"Hey, brother, you're new here, you look a little unfamiliar." A bastard stall owner actually pretended not to know him, and acted like he was very familiar with it, as if he was selling a "magic stone" without magic power, "This is

Good things that can only be used by extraordinary people, good treasures that are prohibited from trading by the church."

"I'm very sorry. I'm a devout believer and I won't touch forbidden items." Xiao Weier didn't even need to open his eyes to identify, and he knew that 90% of the things here were fake, and the signs of distress were too obvious. As for saying

That "magic stone", haha, is just an ordinary piece of fluorite. It comes from the mountains of Mabst County. It's not a good thing. It costs two gold coins. This bastard actually wants to pay a thousand for the price of the magic stone.

Sell ​​gold coins to yourself.

p, none of the people who come here to dig for gold really believe in the gods. Even if they are believers, they are also believers of the God of Wealth, and the God of Wealth does not ban magic stones, and even regards them as an important part of wealth. This

The bastard must have noticed something! Seeing Little Will walk away and pick at the stall next door, he couldn't help but curse.

"The wood used for wood carving is definitely not red sandalwood. You see that the grain itself is wrong, and you are a master-level handiwork? Haha, have you seen this crack? This is not natural, but due to excessive force.

It is obviously the most common mistake for novices to make, unless the master was drunk when he was carving." Little Will pointed at a palm-sized wood carving on the ground and complained, "You don't want to tell me that this wood carving is the same.

Antiques, right? Brand-new antiques that have been buried underground for hundreds or thousands of years and will not decay?”

The stall owner didn't say a word, he just said hello, and then said that this was an antique stall, and then everything from the rusty dagger to the tea bowl with two holes in it, and finally even the wood carvings he made up were criticized.

When he said he was tired, he actually took out a bag of water from his backpack, took a sip and continued to complain about the stall owner's clumsy deception.

"Um, the cracks on the wood carving were actually caused by me accidentally. This work is really a masterpiece. Look at the quality, the workmanship, and the signature. It's guaranteed to be genuine!" the stall owner saw.

The wood carving of unknown origin was the one I had the least complaints about, so I started to promote it vigorously.

"Really guaranteed?" Xiao Weier expressed doubts about this promise, and the stall owner nodded, "If this is not a wood carving, I will definitely replace it."

A group of people around raised their middle fingers at the same time. These are all wood carvings. You bastard are right, but can ordinary wood carvings be compared with antique wood carvings?

"Then let's go with the price of the wood carving, five copper coins." Xiao Weir's price made the stall owner almost fall to the ground, "Young man, you are too stupid, the price I received for the goods was more than this amount.

"

"But there was no such scar when you received the goods. Now that there is such a scar, the price will definitely be discounted." Xiao Weier pointed to the crack that the stall owner admitted was his mistake. The latter felt like he had swallowed something.

I feel as uncomfortable as a fly. Please, just because of this crack, I was deceived into paying out a few extra silver coins.

"Two gold coins can't be less." The stall owner shouted loudly, "This is an antique. The texture and carving techniques on it are so primitive. It must be an antique. Even ordinary wood carvings must be more than five copper coins in workmanship."

"

"How about two more copper coins?" Little Will tried to increase the price.

"Brother, you are too shady. Can our currency unit be changed? Copper coins are not popular here. At least they should be silver coins." The stall owner was helpless. Is this really a fat sheep?

"One silver coin." Little Will raised a finger, and the stall owner shook his head fiercely, "Eight, no, nine silver coins. Little brother, you must at least leave me a little profit margin, as you do

If I do the voice work, I will definitely pay to my death, brother."

After ten minutes of friendly negotiation, the two finally settled the deal at a price of six silver coins and five copper coins. Then Xiao Weier told the stall owner that in fact, the scar was not irreparable, but it just required a little special means. The special gum could be used to repair the wound.

The scars should be faded as much as possible, and then sold for two gold coins. After saying this, Little Will walked away.

"Tch, do you really think I don't know that it can be repaired? But the cost of repairing it is at least two gold coins. If you spend such a high price for an ordinary damaged wood sculpture, you will definitely lose it. It took so much effort to repair it.

I made two silver and one copper, and now it is getting more and more difficult to do business." The stall owner sighed and continued to look at the stall, and the first business of the newcomer brought by the black merchant was also spread, and everyone began to analyze this guy
