Early in the morning, a group of five people quietly left the barracks. Locke, Kane, Hans, gulas and Kirby went in the opposite direction of the troops.

It's late autumn. Whether it's foster or Charlotte, it's always cold in autumn and winter, and it's unbearable hot in summer. Therefore, the current marching time of the army is from noon to evening.

Fortunately, the two barons decided to try their best to get on the way, and they could arrive in less than two days before they arrived in bimore City, where the regiment headquarters is located.

Locke took advantage of the army's failure in the morning to do a business with Kirby, a Charlotte City they passed before they went.

Worrier City, a small city with 2000 residents, has no other characteristics. The only strangeness is that the city wall is nearly 10 meters as long as that of a medium-sized city.

It is said that this was built by Baron eBike, the former Lord of the city. This was once a joke among the local nobles in Charlotte. It's just a small town. Why is the whole high wall.

At this time, those nobles who once laughed at Baron eBike are now regretful. Why didn't they want to repair the wall at the beginning. It is because of this nearly 10 meter high wall that the charlos in the city are temporarily protected from war.

It is precisely for this reason that wallier has become a port of refuge for rich businessmen and rich people in nearby Charlotte, and a place for Charlotte refugees.

The destination of Locke is wallill.

Locke didn't come to wallill to kill and rob, but to trade. A few smugglers and resellers were indeed caught in that town before, but their goods were ordinary grain and sharro coins, which were not worth a lot of money. Knowing that they were hopelessly put away, Kirby put forward an opinion and went to wallill city to participate in the fair there.

Every city has a group of businessmen living in the dark. Some of them are robbers, some smugglers and some gangsters. You can buy things you can't buy in the market here, but the price will be a little expensive. This is the black market.

Kirby had worked in the black market before, and there was a black market when Flanders was once prosperous. After faustan's army broke the city, the black market disappeared. Kirby was well aware of the huge financial and material resources of these businessmen in the dark. This time, he encouraged Locke to bring people, not to buy things, but to sell things.

"Charlotte is coming to an end. Now people of insight know it." Kirby walked among a group of people talking, and Locke and others ignored him. "Deloitte is hard currency now, and those black market businessmen will eat it regardless of cost."

This is Kirby's suggestion to exchange Deloitte for sharro's coins. In the forstein caravan, the exchange ratio between Deloitte and coins is 2:1, but some people also exchange 5:1 in sharro. This is the way to get rich.

This time, Locke not only changed the income he had just "swept" the town into Deloitte, but also borrowed a large sum of money from Uncle yoshake, a full 400 silver Deloitte, and the back of Hans and gulas were bulging.

For this transaction, Locke thought it was feasible, but he took three capable men with him on the conservative side. Not to mention whether there is anything in the black market that can stop Locke, it is Hans and others who can fight seven or eight ordinary gangsters.

Without delay, they hurried to wallill city after coming out of the military camp. The residual frost in the morning has not faded, and they have arrived outside wallill city.

The difference between wallill and Frans is not big. The only obvious thing is that the wall is a few meters high. However, the slightly dilapidated city wall is no matter how high, in the eyes of Locke and others, the city is also vulnerable.

Several guards stood in twos and threes on the wall, and an obvious huge stone pit on the west wall was so abrupt. That was the warning given to them by the magician of the Baron of Kashgar when their troops passed the city yesterday.

The stone pit not only gave the sherlo people infinite fear and worry, but also gave Locke and his party confidence.

Many people have gathered outside the city gate, all refugees to enter the city. However, it may be that the pressure caused by the army that did not go far yesterday is too great. At this time, only a small crack has been opened in the city gate that is usually allowed to pass.

At this time, although it was still early, Locke and his party had lined up dozens of meters away. According to the turtle speed, let alone rush back before noon, it would be good to enter the city.

Locke frowned and looked at Kirby. Kirby held his chest up and promised, "look at me!" After that, Kirby strode to the entrance of the city gate and exchanged a few words with the soldiers guarding the gate. He secretly scratched in the pants pocket of one of the soldiers guarding the city with his left hand. The soldier felt that his pocket was much heavier and gave a wink to his colleagues around, so he patted Kirby on the shoulder. It was done.

Kirby waved to Locke and others who were still waiting in line, and several people walked to the city gate. The refugees around were angry. Looking at these guys who cut in the queue, one or two grumpy seemed to want to do it. Hans just stared at them and there was no bullshit. The crowd found that none of these people was easy to bully.

With Hans's body size of nearly two meters, none of the yellow and skinny refugees around him can match, let alone gulas, who is no worse than Hans. Even Locke and Kane, who are slightly "thin" among the few people, also have a height of about 1.8 meters. In the eyes of others, they are also a strong man.

Gulas put his arms around his shoulders and gave a cold hum to the refugees. A group of refugees seemed to see some monsters and retreated in fear.

When Locke came to the city gate, several doorkeepers saw their faces and immediately grasped their long guns as if they were facing a great enemy. Kirby was busy explaining at this time. Of course, several soldiers could feel the differences between these people. Whoever killed people would exude a kind of evil spirit, and those who had been soldiers could feel it.

As the best in the army, Locke's evil spirit is certainly quite amazing. When Kirby saw the city guard, he was still unmoved and waved his right hand. There were more things in the soldier's pocket before, and the soldier showed hesitation.

Seeing that it was effective, Kirby stuffed the few coins left on his body into the soldier. Finally, the soldier put away his weapons and nodded to other soldiers around him. The soldiers around put away their long guns, but the head of the gun was still pointing to Locke and others.

"Don't make trouble!" The soldier seemed threatening to say to Locke and others, but the answer was that gulas had a white eye.

After several people entered the city, gulas patted Kirby on the shoulder and "Peng" slapped him down. Kirby's small body was afraid to fall apart. "Yes, your boy is very clever. Why didn't he feel it when he caught you."

Kirby said with a flattering smile, "Sir, you are joking. Those who are still guarding the gate at this time are cannon fodder selected from the city. What insight can you have? Dozens of copper are enough to send them."

There is little difference between wallill and Frans, and even more money is spent. The streets are full of refugees lying on the ground, and there are no shops still open.

Locke was in a hurry and was not interested in enjoying the city. He said to Kirby, "lead the way."

"My Lord, the black market in every city must be in the most chaotic place." "There is no place more chaotic than the slums now," explained Kirby

Several people walked between a complex shed. All the people around were wearing rags that could not cover their bodies. Their hair was messy, their face was gray, and their eyes looked at the uninvited guests.

Locke didn't pay too much attention to these refugees. Suddenly, a man who was hobbling, his messy hair covered his face, and didn't even have shoes rushed to Locke and others. "Please, sir, I haven't eaten for three days..." before he got close to Locke, he was stopped by Kane next to him and stopped by the roadside.

This is just a small episode on the road. Several people forget it in the twinkling of an eye. However, Locke noticed that the man stopped because he was clutching a sudden copper in his hand, and only Kane was close to him at that time.

Several people approached a black wooden shed and stopped. There were four gangsters holding wooden sticks and pickaxes at the door. Although the guys in their hands looked funny, they were the only standard weapons allowed in the city. Businessmen and the rich have been frightened. They do not allow regular weapons to appear in the hands of civilians.

To say that these four gangsters are more prominent among the surrounding refugees, Locke stands out from the crowd. At first glance, they don't look like ordinary citizens.

The magnificent muscles of gulas and Hans are the tickets. The four gatekeepers didn't even stop them, so they let a few people in. It made Locke a little confused.

Although wooden huts are one or two hundred square meters in size, they are obviously not enough to serve as a black market for a city. Sure enough, after entering, what you see is the ladder that has been going down.

"What is this?" Locke saw the downward road for the first time.

"It's the basement, sir," Kirby timely stood up and explained. "It's said that it was originally built by a magician."

This is the second thing Locke saw created by a magician. The first is the sofa he saw in master Sauron's tent.

"There is also a black market on the street, which is bigger," Kirby explained. "But our identity is not easy to show up, so those who come to the underground, although a little small, are high-quality goods, and those who come here are not ordinary people who come to the black market to buy things."

"Yes, it's just currency trading. You don't need to go to many trading places." Locke nodded in agreement.

There are torches hanging on both sides. The downward ladder is not long, but it is particularly dark because it is underground. Fortunately, several people are brave tough men and don't feel much.
