Chapter 10: Dark Market
Dark Market
According to the contract, Q took Siz to the dark market in the capital. Trolley full of items, stone various, timber, plant pot
Siz feels like a place like this is easy to find, but if Q doesn't bring him in, it's impossible for him to know this place, it's in a small alley. Look up. It seems like a bad angle that people like him are hard to find.
The product is noticeably different from the outside. The box has a strange symbol.
The right-sized table can place papers, papers and exchange some things. Siz observes the movement. Every step of the way, follow Q
"Giant fangs, rainbow shells, Pumpkin Flame, who needs it to come to me?" The lady's merchant speaks loudly.
Siz looks at the size of the product, they are larger than normal and the integrity of the 'absolutely rare item' look.
"High-level purple potion, today there are five hundred bottles" someone yelled "grade-A"
A small merchant sits next to a cart with many roll paper "The magic book is delivered directly from the land number five, perfect for beginners" He said "also, today scroll of magic, special price"
'magic book?' Siz think 'scroll of magic?'
He watched the exchange table, placed a crimson rock inside with flames. And another table the glass jar has blue algae inside.
And like he will see Big black bird Flies behind the tent and into the sky a small bird flies with an envelope. And the shadow of a large orange bird flew by continuously
Siz sees a trade that's not just weapons, food, coats, shoes, horses, brooms, boxes, bags, spices, herbs, it's different from what's in the stores he found in the first place.
"These things can make money, right?" Siz said softly.
"Not at all. Let's just go into that tent" Q immediately interrupted.
Security guards stand in front of the tent. He let them in because he knew Q.
The tent is not so big. There's a lamp on the inside, someone walked forward, looking disappointed.
There is a security guard inside. The other three were by the door in a dark corner.
"I haven't seen a long time Q" Men dressed modestly of black suit, wearing dark gold ghost masks "How's the business bomb?" Orange Necktie White ghost soul
"Not very good lately, sir the players turn to do a lot" Q replied while sitting down in a chair, as did Siz.
"As you know, the market mechanisms are always changing, more manufacturers, fewer consumers, that's not a big problem, the real problem is that players break each other down." The man moved necktie and walked slowly "What's the matter today? And bring someone along "
"Is that we have important matters" Q slowly
Suddenly,
"I want money in the real world, sir" Siz immediately said.
Q was a little shocked
He tilts neck slightly and look through the mask. but the man shook his hand, signaling that it was okay to Q
"Do you know what you are saying?" Q whispered softly to Siz
"it's okay" He let the security guard out of the tent and closed the curtains "alright, Be brave. Another thing to be honest is good. I like it" He walked to the table and came close to Siz "Who do you think you are? And what's to trade on in the exchange, huh?"
Siz begins to feel scared. He almost didn't know who the back of the golden mask was. Suddenly, the atmosphere became more uncomfortable.
"my code name is Mr. Ghost" He spoke in a cold voice "In the marketplace that you don't know, many things are complicated, And the easiest is Not anyone who gets something easy"
"I am here to find a way to exchange products. Is there anything I could do? I need money outside, sir" Siz said in a slightly shaky voice.
Mr. Ghost walked to close the curtain at the back. Like the back of this tent There was a storage room, something else, a small sound and light emanating.
"Oh, Siz" Q shook his head and open adventure's handbook "step by step"
"It's okay. Q, I would like to know what he will have to exchange" Mr. Ghost said with cool voice "What you should know Beginner adventurer like you Can't find anything to sell in the green zone"
Siz looked down at his clothes "Please tell me. What could be exchange, Exchange routes What do I have to do?"
Mr. Ghost walked to get paper and unwilling to speak "Stone level five with magic inside full body, perfect of wing sky clean, pure heart of dragon" and He stopped talking after his mood had faded "or you can craft magic items like land number seven or not" and then he laughed "See!"
"Turn and make a bomb with me easier than their hunting" Q Whispered softly
"could not" Siz said, He felt short of breath and uncomfortable.
Mr. Ghost kept laughing. He's enjoying the novice adventurer Siz "over dare"
Siz was embarrassed and helpless. he thought while watching Q open the handbook. The letters on the paper were misaligned and Siz was slightly annoyed. Maybe it was because of the anger that was in his heart as well.
"Mr. Ghost, Sir" Siz rose, bowed. With guilt "I am deeply sorry, sir, for the rudeity of this negotiation, but I'm angry, and it's all about the idea that the exchangers are thinking about profit"
"It's okay," Mr. Ghost accepted an apology. And move the mask slightly "You say right, and the profits make us exchangers survive. Adventurers need to be stronger to survive as well. In the world of trade. Business, there's nothing guaranteed, it's risky"
Mr. Ghost is receiving a small letter. Through the window hole and like a black feather floating in. tiny blue birds come and go just drops small letter
"There is only one way, I have to go. Red zone" Siz said vigorously.
Mr. ghost heard that. Makes him laugh even louder. Q secretly laughed a little
"In this world, few people can make money in real life" Mr. Ghost fills the lamp with oil. It has a kind of flowery fragrance "Turning back, it's not too late now and let's take happiness and be happier in this world"
"Thank you very much, Mr. Ghost, sir," Siz walked out of the tent with an angry temper at himself.
Q follow out "are you seriously?" he said and keep up with Siz "Do you know that he is one of the dark merchants?"
"yes, you are craft bomb? right?"
Speaking without looking at Q's face, he looked at the items on the table "what about me?"
"hey, look Siz" Q said "Before, I didn't know much. Until I created a bomb and someone buy and use it. Then it came out good results. Suddenly, Mr. Ghost contacted me to meet the buyer" Q Hold the handbook with confidence "don't be crazy"
"I have to craft something" Siz said and warm down in his mind, it's not anyone's fault He was just angry at himself "and I'm sorry for doing something stupid"
'we all survive'
'the adventure has had to better'
'what's about my skill'
"well, grape jam?" Q say quietly
"alright" Siz nodded
"fox tail" someone yelled "Golem necklace, Elemental bottle, ring of alligator"
On the way back, Siz thought a lot.
'dark merchant?'
'rare items'
'red zone'
'Q's handbook?'
Q Pay for rent, while Siz buys food such as bread. Grape Jam One banana. Two large bottles of water left him 5,000 gold.
Inside the room, Siz's steel pipe leans on a weathered wall. There are some root roots on the wall. The wooden shield of Q is placed on the magic box.
Siz sits by his window and goes up to the sky thinking what the red zone is like. He can't imagine.
'few months to go'
'ridding horse' stop!
The anger that's packed in his heart. He can live, but nothing's going to get better. The closer get, the farther going. He recalled. Yes, Q's book is weird, and perhaps something hides in it or some answer
"May I take a look at your handbook" Siz said to Q
Q Was enjoying the same grape jam, he said "alright, low grade jam" he sends handbook to Siz "Almost forgot, you said you would burn it"
"Nah, I don't do it" Siz said and sat on bed "I might find the answer"
"what are you interest in?" Q step close whlie Siz open the handbook
"This handbook It looks like there's a magic like that" Siz said as he slowly opened the next page
"normally, book in this world can moving" Q not excited "Actually, I am not good at books. You seem to like the book, right?"
"I really love the book but some books I don't have money to buy" Siz was surprised by the words on the paper. It was as if intended to can't be readable.
The image on the paper keeps moving. It wrote a way to make a bonfire. Cooking level 1, but it looks like the cook is being burned to the body.
"Immediately increase physical strength" Siz complain, Next picture, leather sheet creates a simple supplement. But Siz saw someone puke.
Next picture, iron pipe placed on the leather sheet add boar fangs laid sideways. Yellow sap drops on it. Two pieces of bark, eight polished stones, turned into iron pipes.
"Why do I want to do it? The end is the same" Siz complained "iron pipe and then iron pipe?"
"You said this book was crazy, it was crazy" Q Laugh "I've never seen a city map before, that's a map of the capital, right?"
"Um" Siz open next
"seller told me, this book can be developed, that's why it's so rare" Q speaks with pride and honesty
The high wall surrounds the city, with four entrances along the compass. Trading Position Learn skills, swords, bows, spears, shields, daggers.
A high white building, next to the headquarters, officers, city attendants' adventurers. The town square is a fountain
The festival courtyard is round with a stage, flower shop, restaurant, many tables.
"Our hotel is really low grade too." Siz points to the map. Q Laugh
"What's that?" said Q, leaning down on the paper.
"Assassination skills, hunter, bloody knight, light of light, mysterious room, undiscovered. i have no idea about this name, it's not like name of guild, no, it's not"
"These names are really strange" Siz added "Look, here the forest we go to attack with boars and bunny fighter"
"let me see" Q Surprised "Whoa, monsters are all over the place. And why can't I open it like this?"
Siz continued to open the next page and muttered "I think the book has magic, it's changing, or it's alive."
Red flags waved around the mountains. There is a city bigger than the capital in the middle. The scars on the flag, like there's blood running.
Siz began to feel that he was about to know something. Opening the handbook quickly He was afraid that the words and images would fade away "The twelve lands are like the hands of a clock" With the confidence he spoke out Everything on the paper immediately faded away.
What he was particularly interested in were the land number twelve. Because Mr. Allkust live, but sadly Everything has faded away.
"No, No, no" Siz shook slightly "low battery?"
But regrettably, no matter how many pages open only scratches in the end, everything started to get darker and darker, a black stain on every page. The last page was white, clean, free of words and anything.
"Is normal I only know as long as I can" Q Walk to the storage box "As if you are not the owner So it didn't tell the monster information, haha"
"What's the handbook?" says Siz, closing the handbook and saying "I wonder if i need to recharge energy, to do a good job?"
While he was holding the red potion
'Yes, in his crazy thoughts Will give a book to eat a red potion '
Suddenly, the handbook paper opened itself to a completely black page. As if it could communicate with him
"Q Q!" Siz cry loudly "Q... Q!!"
"Hey, is the book biting your hand?" In Q's hands, hold a leather sheet craft a bomb.
"No, it's sending a signal I need a yellow energy bars, all you have" Siz touches something Something that he felt like himself.
"are you seriously?" Q stared at Siz for a moment "crazy thought? Do Stupid things?"
Siz nodded willingly
"I can only give two, only two" Q spoke with reluctance.
"Don't you want to know? That we'll do something stupid" Siz smile slyly "come on"
"don't use the word we" Q takes a look at Siz's testing "And of course who will miss a second of doing something stupid?"
Siz begins experimenting with what he thinks of the possibilities. This handbook is not normal, it can communicate with us, and it has interesting information. Sometimes it's not interesting.
Siz placed an energy bar on a sheet of black paper, the yellow energy bar gradually melted, faded, and nothing happened.
"green light, I saw it" Q See something green on the edge of the paper "try another one"
"huh? Light?" Siz frowned "where?"
And when the energy bar melts on the paper at the end of the paper, there was a green light. Q was slightly scared.
"I guess it's not eating energy" while Siz says, the handbook shuts down "or it's going to eat white jelly rubber, herbs, bark."
"No, green light! But it's a so tiny bit" Q keep talking "The handbook, is it life or what? Should we take it away? Burned by fire or let it explode, it's good to eat"
"I can't see" Siz stared to see the green light. But it did not appear "May be accidentally reflected light, yellow turn on to green, just may be and what should we do?"
"I have no idea, surely, I'm not be marketing bait, to upgrade tier book, like seller tell me" Q Put the handbook on the bed and turn to craft the bomb. He's just scared, like Siz awaken the demons "Do the important thing first, this book is later and do not feed it again"
"Um ..." Siz opened the window to receive the air outside. While he was looking at the clouds, the paper in the handbook flashed a green light and disappeared.
Few weeks passed
Q Spends most of my time doing bomb trade. He's got a better price because the handbook guides him, his explosive skills. Increase to Level 2 and he's still searching for item. Next to create a new shield.
He tried to show off the small black round bomb
As for Siz, it separated to level up. Increase skills to make using weapons more smoothly. 3 steel pipes have been changed. Due to heavy use, the durability value is reduced to zero. Can't carry out a monster attack.
Repairing with repair stones, repairing weapons is not worth it. It's just a steel pipe
Selling common item helps him with enough money to buy Potion and food and new steel pipe cost 750 Gold
Mission board
[ Green sap 10 each, reward 1,000 gold ]
Siz travels the East Gate, heading towards the monster. The wood demon has a hole in the eyes and mouth. The roots are wrapped in the arms and legs.
"Ten sap" Siz prepares to fight.
But Siz wasn't careful. A number of roots It was already too late to the leg, the rapidly growing arms attacked him, his health point decreased.
He hopes to be observed. Observe the behavior, but not at all. They show up again and attack him as soon as they have a chance.
Another one, Siz dodged
The sound of the movement of the roots of the tree. He realized that it was attacking through the ground, and all of a sudden, A small leaf storm also attacked the middle of his body
'Ouch!!' 'painful cry of Siz'
If it's in the game, He'd have chosen to run or fight, but right now, He chose to back off. Monsters don't chase after the range and he began to notice that it was moving slowly but violently.
'Bang!' steel pipe sound Hitting the wood demon 'Bang'
He didn't stop attacking when he got the chance to get into close range another tree root Strap him on his leg and the other tries to constrict the steel pipe
"Oh," Siz steel pipes have been stolen. Of course, he didn't delay. Every movement Must be continuous
He threw a small stone at the other, and carried one, ran towards the one who stole his steel pipe.
He received a steel pipe floating in the air. And use his left arm to attack the roots and stabbed a steel pipe on the head of a wooden demon
'HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT' The tiny crystals were shattered.
Items received: 1 each green sap
In the afternoon, Siz solo Fight more 30 wooden demons, use ten red potions, and he get a ten-green sap. He was sent to exchange for the rewarded. He's not only just interested in prize money; his skill has improved and the reward is a giveaway.
Inside the room, Siz sleeps on his arms and legs with fatigue. Q Walked in with a sheet of paper roll in hand.
"You told me, you want an extra skill, right?" Q asked, placing a bag of bread.
Siz rocked the pillow to the rhythm of the nod.
"While I was shipping, I asked for information, the swordsman skills were too expensive, the mage was too expensive, the hunter skill was not your way, ha" Q Laughed
"are you sure! I am not a hunter" Siz tried to retaliate, but continued to sleep and He thinks about it because he sees other adventurers. Special skills such as swords can be used to stab the ground to create shocks wave, or can stab a sword in the air to create two attacks at the same time.
"Long range attacks, with your real eyes it does not good that part. You love magic" Q Speak with pride and pick up a bunch of brown bread, bite and chew with pleasure.
"So, in this world, what can a poor person like me do?" Siz complained "that is not, it is not, course fees, bra-bra"
"you used to say we all have different magic" Q Unfold the paper and read it "My magic in this world is a shield. I can learn it quickly. Although paying a little tuition fee initially"
"Magic?" Siz thinks about when he plays computer games. A mage's job is who he is, but in this world, He learned that it could be. he has to study or buy advanced, expensive textbooks "mage? Am I?"
"Alright, let's get into the story. There is news that a mage in the land number five will open a skill test to create a new generation of beginner for free" Q Not finished reading "if you have little basic skill of magic"
"When, where, I shall do" Siz, get up and sit
"Tomorrow, of the capital, flower yard more importantly, If you pass through the round, you will have a chance to enter the land number five of Mages Guild" Q Flip the paper to read more
"thankful" Siz speaks and falls asleep with exhaustion.
"not yet, for those without magic power Please prepare the basic magic scroll as well" Q stopped speaking because he heard Siz's sleep
