However, Vicky did not communicate much with the two.
Passing through the grape trellis covered with withered vines, Vicky skillfully lifted the secret door at the back that seemed to be integrated into the stone wall.
He brought the two of them to the teleportation array, collected the teleportation fee, and then took them directly to the Black Gold Gang's black market.
The dozens-meter-high dome is covered with glittering luminous mushrooms, illuminating the entire underground square in a dreamy blue and white.
The ground is layered with shale, and fine silver star sand is embedded in the cracks of the rocks, refracting the light from the dome into flowing star-like light bands.
In stark contrast to the chaotic slave market that Kyle and Ruby had imagined, the entire underground space was shrouded in a solemn religious atmosphere.
Those coming and going are shrouded in camouflage magic, walking silently between the bronze pillars inside the giant rock.
As soon as she arrived here, the power of holy light in Ruby's body began to stir.
But it was not because of the polluted air, but because the power of the stars and the moon hanging from the dome was in a subtle confrontation with the original power.
Vicky led the two of them directly to the cabin in the center of the black market, just like she had led Mark.
The only difference this time was that the two were unable to enter the cabin.
All were stopped outside by Vicky.
"Vicky! What use do I have for you? You always come to me for everything, big or small! This Black Gold Gang isn't mine!"
As soon as they arrived at the cabin, Kyle and Ruby heard a grumbling voice coming from inside the house. It sounded like a woman, but they couldn't tell her age.
"They have Star-Moon Black Gold. They said Harold introduced them to buy second-hand goods." Vicky was not annoyed and replied in a calm tone.
Xingyue in the room snorted in dissatisfaction, then opened the door and said, "That big idiot, come in, and the busty woman stay outside."
“…”
In an instant, Ruby's face turned black!
She is a Sister of the Blazing Flame, and no one has ever dared to make comments about her physical characteristics!
A small black market leader...
But before Ruby could get angry, she felt an inexplicable aura suddenly pressing down on her from inside the cabin, suppressing her temper that was about to explode.
"Big breasted girl, don't give me any trouble!"
The door of the wooden house slid open silently, and a cool scent mixed with exotic spices rushed out.
The light in the room was dim, outlining a hazy figure sitting cross-legged on a wooden bed under the stars and the moon.
Kyle stepped forward, ignoring the mysterious air surrounding Xingyue's appearance, and got straight to the point: "We'd like to know the final buyer of the 'Dark and Light Dual-Attribute Werewolf Magic Crystal' that you auctioned off on the black market a month ago."
"Silly man, you don't think our black market is a place where rules don't apply, do you? Don't say you're just a fourth-rank priest. Even if you were the bishop of the Dragon Slaying City Diocese, you can't break the rules of our Black Gold Gang."
She just glanced at Kyle and confirmed that this big guy really gave her a completely different impression from Mark.
"We just want to know who the buyer is," Kyle repeated, his voice steady and full of undeniable power. "You name the price."
"Harold, that unruly idiot..." Xingyue's voice was lazy but with undeniable penetrating power, pouring directly into Kyle's ears. "Alright, give me the black gold that Harold gave you. It will be the price of this transaction. The buyer you are looking for..."
"A member of the Mountain Tiger Bandits, a fifth-rank plunderer named Blood Claw Barton." Xingyue's tone was as calm as if she were discussing the weather. "He was the one who finally bought the werewolf magic crystal. I heard the Mountain Tiger Bandits have been very active recently, and there are many of them near Osborne Town."
Kyle's heart suddenly tightened.
Level 5 plunderer!
And...the Mountain Tiger Bandits?
It seems that this buyer may not be able to communicate normally. After all, they are all thieves. How many people in a thieves group are willing to negotiate normally with others?
Once they heard that he and Ruby were going to investigate each other, it would be a shame for their reputation if they didn't silence them.
Kyle couldn't help but think so, because he came to Osborne Town through official channels and had no idea the true details of the Mountain Tiger Bandits.
In his impression, members of bandit gangs and the like would always be caught by the major kingdoms and hanged on the gallows at the city gates.
But in a place like the Thirty-Six Adventurer Towns, the Mountain Tiger Bandits are just another adventure group.
If Kyle really went to negotiate in an official capacity, maybe the other party would actually negotiate with him.
It’s a pity that the big stupid Kyle didn’t know about it.
"Thank you for letting me know." Kyle suppressed the shock in his heart and said in a deep voice, "This Blood Claw Barton, or the Mountain Tiger Bandits, recently..."
"Stop, kid! It's my hobby that I'm willing to talk more, but you can't ask too much about what I don't want to say!" Xingyue's voice turned cold, with a barely perceptible warning.
"Harold introduced you here to 'buy used goods.' I've already given you the information you were looking for. The Black Gold Gang doesn't sell intelligence. Transaction concluded."
Her gaze lingered on Kyle for a moment, and she suddenly laughed out loud without warning.
"Boy." She returned to her previous lazy attitude, with a barely perceptible hint of amusement in her voice.
"Here's some advice. Take this information and go back to the old man in your church who's actually in charge. This mess in Osborne Town, and this so-called 'magic crystal', is much deeper than you imagine. Take that busty woman out there who explodes at the slightest provocation and run as far away as you can!"
Xingyue's last few words fell lightly into Ruby's ears outside the door, just like a spark that ignited dry wood.
A wave of scorching air threatened to break through the oppression surrounding her, and it felt as if lava was surging beneath the black fabric of the nun's robe.
Church of the Star and Moon!
Ruby nearly gritted her teeth.
That unique magic, and that condescending tone!
Definitely the core members of the Star-Moon Church!
Doesn’t the History of the Holy Light Church say that the Star-Moon Church has been expelled from all major dynasties?
These pagans actually openly control the underground black market of the Thirty-Six Adventurer Towns?
Even the senior members of the Lily Kingdom Magic Association seemed to be their regular customers!
Holy Spirit, this is ironic!
She resisted the urge to rush in to question or even purify the other person, and her nails dug deep into her palms.
Kyle felt the sudden rise of anger and heat behind him. He calmly turned slightly to the side, blocking the possible sight of Ruby at the door of the cabin, and also isolating Ruby from the possibility of an outburst.
"Thank you again for your information, ma'am." He nodded slightly, his tone calm but his eyes serious.
He is not a professional like Ruby, and his emotions are not affected by religious issues.
He also knew that since the Star-Moon Church was able to establish a black market here, it must be beyond the influence of him and Ruby, two mid-level professionals.
Besides, the other party had no ill intentions, and even their warnings were not groundless.
