Chapter 781: Be Careful
Better safe than sorry.
After the waiter left, Jiang Lianzhu opened the treasure map he came to sell her and compared it with the map given to her by Sanlangjun's men. It was simply too rough.
It's completely unclear which way to go, no wonder it's sold with snowflake lottery tickets.
Looking at this map, it would be strange if ordinary people could find the entrance to the black market.
Jiang Lianzhu memorized the map in her mind, rested in the inn for a day, and rode a golden eagle all night. She was not in a good mood.
Going to the black market is full of difficulties. Only by getting a good rest can you face various emergencies in the best condition.
When it was dark, she quietly left Daxue Town and headed for the snow caves to find the entrance to the black market.
Most people would wait until dawn to set off, but she insisted on setting off at night.
She sees things with her consciousness, and it doesn't matter to her whether it is day or night, as there are fewer people at night.
She moved quickly and left the town and went up the snowy mountain. The map was already imprinted in her mind, and after a little effort, she found the correct cave entrance.
The caves inside were interconnected. She released her consciousness to avoid danger. She didn't go to places where there were people, and walked to places where there were no people or few people. She only felt that she was going deep into the heart of the snow-capped mountains, and soon she found the entrance to the black market.
It's still a hole.
But at the entrance of the cave was a mysterious curtain of light, crystal clear and sparkling.
It seems that once you enter, you will be swallowed up.
"Little brother, where are you from? Come here and let's talk."
"Hey, stop right there! I'm talking to you. What do you do?"
…
Several tough-looking thugs were guarding the cave entrance, all of them were warriors at the fifth level or above.
I guess he wants to take advantage of the situation and get some benefits or something.
Jiang Lianzhu stopped.
Those people came over with laughter, "Little brother, what martial arts realm are you at? It seems that you are only at the fifth realm. You can't enter this light curtain at the fifth realm. Look at them, those who can't enter can only bang their heads against the wall..."
Jiang Lianzhu looked over.
really.
There were quite a lot of people at the light curtain door. Many people wanted to go in but couldn't, so they banged against the light curtain, leaving their heads and faces bruised.
The light curtain looks soft, but it seems to hurt more than a stone wall when hit.
Jiang Lianzhu asked, "What should I do if I can't get in?"
The gangster grinned wickedly, "As long as you have the money, we'll have someone take you in and guarantee you won't run into the light curtain. If you don't believe me, you can pay half in advance and give the remaining half after you get in."
"Is this okay?"
A few thugs said, "Of course, this is our business. In the past few months, we've brought in, if not a thousand, at least eight hundred people. Our skills in leading people are very mature. We will definitely succeed in no more than three attempts. We will send an Eighth Realm expert to pull you and lead you into the light curtain. The Eighth Realm expert will use his aura to break the light curtain, and you will take the opportunity to slip in..."
"Sounds good. Then why don't they bring you into the light curtain? Why do you have to bang your head against the wall there?" Jiang Lianzhu pointed at a few stubborn people.
The thug said, "Brother, look at their clothes. They're obviously poor and can't afford the money, so they have to try their luck on their own. But you're different. You look so noble and noble. You're the chosen one. Think about it! An Eighth Realm expert is a top-tier figure in a country. The cost of their services will definitely not be low. We're just the middleman."
Jiang Lianzhu asked, "How much money will it cost that time?"
"The fee is based on realm. For someone like me, who is at the lower fifth realm, it will cost a bit more. First, pay 1,000 taels of silver. After you enter, you can pay another 1,000 taels of silver. What do you think?"
Jiang Lianzhu asked, "Are you sure it's this price?"
"That's right! We're not lying. Do you think it's that easy to hire an Eighth Realm expert? Most people have never seen an Eighth Realm expert in their entire lives... You won't suffer any loss, and you won't be fooled."
"Can those at the eighth level of power enter the black market indefinitely? Or is there a limit on the number of times they can enter?"
"There are no restrictions. Once you go in, you can come out. If you go in again, you will be randomly teleported out. It will be very troublesome to come here again."
Jiang Lianzhu replied, "Okay, I'll take you to the black market. I don't need two thousand taels from you. You can give me one thousand taels, give me five hundred first, and then give me another five hundred after we get in. How about this? Or, if you don't want to go in, you can help me attract customers, and I'll give you five hundred taels of my one thousand taels!"
A few thugs scoffed, "Are you kidding me?"
Jiang Lianzhu's face turned cold, "You were the ones who joked with me first!"
She wouldn't bring anyone into the light curtain.
She has important things to do and won't lose sight of the big picture.
If she was here for sightseeing, she could grab this business. Who would be afraid of having too much money?
It’s the first time and I’m not familiar with the place, so it’s best to be careful.
The few people who had hit the light curtain heard it and stopped being reckless. They came over to talk to Jiang Lianzhu, "Little brother, are you serious? Five hundred per person?"
"Just kidding, thanks."
Jiang Lianzhu ignored them and directly used her magic power to step into the light curtain.
The others were dumbfounded.
"Hey, don't judge a book by its cover. How could such a weakling like him actually get in? How is that possible?"
"I'm ignorant. They must be hiding their strength. We can't see it."
"But so young..."
"Anyone who comes here doesn't disguise themselves. They might be an old man in his seventies or eighties..."
"I feel the magic power, do you feel it too? Could his true identity be a great wizard?"
"I don't have two thousand taels, but I can still scrape together five hundred taels by selling everything I have. Master, why don't you take me in... Alas!"
…
The world was spinning.
It was unknown what kind of magical power it was, but it seemed to break through the barrier. After a brief dizziness, Jiang Lianzhu finally saw everything clearly in front of her.
It is a bustling old street.
There are all kinds of shops on the street, with signs flying and hawking sounds coming and going. It is not surprising at all to see someone like Jiang Lianzhu appearing out of nowhere.
It was dark outside, but it was daylight here.
Of course there was no sun, just the daylight of an overcast day.
The appearance of the shop is not much different from ordinary shops outside, except that each shop has its own unique features.
They all have food, clothing, housing, transportation, groceries, clinics, weapon shops, jewelry shops, bookshops, blacksmith shops, etc.
Jiang Lianzhu followed the crowd and started to wander around. She didn't know how big this black market was. It was just one street with no other side roads. She walked all the way to the end...
In order to get a general idea of the terrain, Jiang Lianzhu did not go into any store first. Instead, she walked around a street to the end to see how long it was.
This is a conservative approach.
It's a habit she's developed over the years.
To give the simplest example, when she goes to stay in a hotel, she must first find out the escape route. This is the most basic awareness of being an agent.
There was no map here, so she had to walk around on her own.
