Monarch of Evernight: 126 Gray Market

bsp;When everyone was sent away and left alone, Song Zining's face was extremely solemn. He knew very well that Xu Lang's heart was as high as the sky, and the Nangong family must not be able to easily control him. There might be someone else behind it, or there might be another reason. Either way, it would not be a good thing under the current situation.

Song Zining pondered for a long time, shook off distracting thoughts, and began to concentrate on preparing for the battle. There will be a fierce battle next, and there will be more than one. Commanding battles is not an area that Qianye is good at, so Song Zining is ready to take up the responsibility himself.

But, why has there been no news about that disaster for so long? Could it be that something really happened? Thinking of the vague scene predicted by Three Thousand Floating Leaves Jue, Song Zining's eyebrows wrinkled together again involuntarily. It was a boundless dark world, with only the faint golden light like a spark flickering, as if it was an unyielding will, holding on with difficulty and stubbornness.

Qianye is currently walking through the black forest. He jumped more than ten meters, bouncing from one big tree to another. His feet never touched the ground. His speed was much faster than before, but it was silent.

The black forest is actually not very wide, only a few hundred kilometers in radius. After its death, it lost the power to distort time and space, and Qianye soon reached the edge.

In front of you is a rolling mountainous area, and in the distance there is a majestic mountain range that reaches into the sky. The land is criss-crossed with rivers and has deep ravines and canyons, making the terrain extremely complex. However, in Qianye's true vision, the Force in this area is much richer, purer and more lively than in other places.

An environment with strong and lively Force power almost certainly means that cultivation will be easier and easier, and it also means that there are more resources buried underground in this land. Coupled with the extremely complex terrain in this area, it is a natural battlefield.

Qianye has no idea where this place is, and there is no place that corresponds to it on the war zone map in his memory. It is very likely that he has gone deep into the hinterland of the dark territory.

He looked up at the sky. The iron curtain above his head was still there, indicating that he was still in the **** battlefield. But this doesn't mean anything. The area covered by the Iron Curtain is too large, and it is said that it has been expanding bit by bit in some directions since its creation.

Qianye randomly chose a direction and moved along the edge of the forest. Although he didn't know where he was, but based on his previous directions, he was probably in the territory of the Kingdom of Darkness at the moment, so it would never be wrong to be careful.

However, the situation in this area was quite calm. After walking like this for half a day, Qianye only saw a few battles, which were not at all as fierce as the fighting in the Black Current City area.

These battles were all internal fights among the dark races. Qianye had no intention of participating and quietly bypassed the battlefield and continued to move forward. Not long after, a simple town appeared at the end of his sight.

The town is not big, and the buildings are low and crude. It is simply a larger settlement. However, the whole town has a prosperity that is not commensurate with its size. There are people flowing inside, and there are large tents set up outside the town walls. Apparently there are too many people coming to the town and there is no place to live, so they simply camp in the open air.

Most of the people coming in and out of the town are dark races, but strangely there are also a lot of human activities. At this time, a group of human warriors appeared from the distant mountains and walked straight towards the town. They are well-equipped and uniformly dressed. They are obviously a team from a large family and are not weak in strength.

Under the Iron Curtain, this team of people appeared in the sight of the dark race. It stands to reason that it must be a life-and-death struggle. However, the battle Qianye expected did not appear. The dark races coming in and out of the town just glanced at them. Their eyes were wary, indifferent, but also enthusiastic.

In the end, the team entered the town unscathed, and then Qianye saw several human beings leaving, all of them looking excited, as if they had gained a lot.

Such a scene immediately reminded Qianye of the tulip market he and William had been to. It seems that this is a similar place. The **** battle did not destroy this gray area, but instead became more prosperous. This only shows that the interests here are greater than the military merits of the **** battle.

Qianye knew what he was doing, straightened his clothes, left the forest and ran towards the town. He decided to enter the town as a vampire to have a look. The transaction was secondary, the main thing was to confirm where he was now.

It is relatively rare for Qianye to appear alone like this. Regardless of whether humans or dark races are far away, they will look at it a few times, and their eyes are a little strange. The so-called safety in the gray area is only relative. No matter who comes here or leaves, there are always valuable things with them. Real security only relies on one's own strength.

Whenever he felt someone was paying attention, Qianye would stare back coldly without showing any signs of weakness. He is now a newly promoted Viscount, and looking at the entire Yongye camp, he has officially entered the upper class society. With such a powerful position, it would be strange to show weakness.

This town is really a mixed bag. At the beginning, there were only two viscount-level dark warriors in charge of the Tulip Market. However, there were more than one viscount moving around. After their eyes collided with Qianye, most of them would release their auras and demonstrate with each other. Leave. This is a fairly common way of greeting strangers in the Yongye camp.

When they arrived at the entrance of the town, two werewolf guards came to greet them. Facing the questioning of the two guards, Qianye didn't say anything, but just released a little breath. The two werewolf guards were immediately shocked.

The werewolf guards looked in awe, took a step back to show respect, and then briefly introduced the rules of the town, which were nothing more than a few rules such as no private fights within the town and fighting outside the town.

Now that he has arrived at the Gray Market, Qianye plans to take a closer look. Last time, William and I went to the Gray Market, but we switched to black titanium annihilation bombs, which played a decisive role in the subsequent battles.

Now that Qianye has condensed his blood core, he can perfectly hide his human identity. He is safer than last time with William leading the way, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

When you walk into the gate of the town, you are immediately greeted by the hustle and bustle.

The town is extremely lively, with people everywhere on the streets, and the level of congestion is comparable to the bustling commercial streets of the imperial capital. The original private houses on both sides of the street have been converted into shops. The shopkeepers include humans and dark races. Moreover, it is rare to see fraudulent newcomers like the last Gray Market here, and conflicts may break out at any time. Everyone is very busy, coming in a hurry, negotiating a deal in a hurry, and leaving in a hurry.

Trading is carried out anytime and anywhere. People talking about business can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. There are many humans and werewolves walking side by side and walking together, which is more exaggerated than the street scene of the Tulip Market. (A similar situation has been described before at the Tulip Market, which is more detailed than this)

Qianye followed the flow of people for a while and came to a shop. This shop was obviously originally the residence of the aborigines. A wall facing the street was demolished and turned into a storefront. There are not many people in the small shop, and it is mainly run by a few human races.

What interests Qianye is the strange dragon-like and snake-like mark on the shop sign. The symbol of the empire is the soaring snake, and any family emblem that is somewhat similar to the soaring snake is somehow related to the imperial family. Although it is impossible to tell whether this pattern is related to the Soaring Snake, there are still some similarities.

When Qianye walked into the store, a middle-aged man behind the counter asked directly without raising his head: "Ethnicity?"

"Oh vampire."

"Title?"

"This is the newly promoted third-class Viscount." Qianye has never seen such a weird way of doing business, so he decided to tell the truth.

Hearing the Viscount, the middle-aged man finally raised his head and glanced at Qianye, then nodded to show respect. This was all etiquette.

Then he lowered his head again and said in a cold tone: "Do you want to deal with humans or other holy blood races?"

Qianye hesitated for a moment and said: "I have a feud, and I am also a vampire."

"Silver Refined Sun Bullet, with ten blood crystals each, it is not a problem to kill the third-class viscount with one bullet. If you feel it is not enough, I also have a good product specially provided by the Song clan, with fifteen blood crystals, and only one No counter-offer."

Qianye suddenly took a breath. He didn't expect that such an inconspicuous little shop would actually sell silver-refined Yang bullets, as well as special models made by the Song clan. I remember when he was a blockbuster in the Song Dynasty examination, his harvest was only three refined silver blazing sun bullets, and later he saved his life with them.

The middle-aged man did not wait for Qianye's response. He raised his head and glanced at him. His tone was a little more indifferent and said: "If you don't have money, there are also magic-breaking mithril bullets. Mass-produced models, one blood crystal and two. , as much as you want, starting from five. If you don’t have enough money, then go to the next one, this store does not do small business.”

Qianye is now out of ammunition and food, and all the self-defense weapons on his body have been used up. He has picked up a lot of blood crystals and black crystals in the dark forest. He no longer hesitated, took out twenty blood crystals and placed them on the counter, saying, "Two refined silver blazing sun bullets."

The middle-aged man was a little surprised. He took a deep look at Qianye, then turned around and walked into the back room. He came out after a while, put an inconspicuous wooden box on the counter, and then swept all the blood crystals into a broken Put it away in a cloth pocket.

Qianye opened the wooden box and saw that there were really two refined silver blazing sun bullets inside. Inside the box, which looks unremarkable on the outside, there is also a Force array that can isolate the outside world and slow down the decay rate of the Silver Refined Sun Bullet.

Qianye was very satisfied and wanted to get a few more blood crystals, but unfortunately there were not many blood crystals on hand. The middle-aged man has already begun to wave people away: "If you don't have money, be next! My time is precious!"

After leaving the shop, Qianye still couldn't believe that he was able to exchange for two refined silver bullets. After another round of the street, Qianye used the remaining blood crystals to exchange for a few blood force hand/mines from a vampire viscount, and was finally satisfied.

Qianye is more interested in this gray market and is not in a hurry to leave. He walked around a few times and saw a shabby but crowded bar, so he squeezed in. To get information, no matter which country you are in, a bar is always the best place.

The bar was so crowded that there was almost no room to stay, and the smell of tobacco, alcohol and perfume was everywhere. When Qianye came in, most people were already half drunk.

Pubs are a place for indulgence, and Gray Market’s is no exception. Many women wore extremely revealing clothes, and some even wore just a few strips of cloth around their bodies, exposing everything that should be exposed and what should not be exposed. Three of the four dark races are all in humanoid form, and their aesthetics are surprisingly consistent. Only the spider demons are different.

However, in such a crowded small bar, the spider demons could not squeeze in at all, except for the one behind the bar. Yes, the owner of this small bar called Doomsday Dusk is a spider demon.
