Chapter 1029 Mr. Here Please
If you don’t want to go through the Alchemy Association, then you want to buy materials, the best way is to buy underground markets. The so-called underground market is an illegal market. Here, you can find most contraband, dirt, black magic products, and other things you can’t imagine.
Because there is no official approval and protection, the underground market is also chaotic and dark. Here, all transactions are not protected. Short-term pounds and short-term digits are just small matters. It is common for people to swallow goods together. Without a certain degree of strength, it is easy to be swallowed here so that there is no bone left.
However, the underground market of Black Iron City is a bit special. Although it does not have official recognition and protection, it has a very powerful force to provide protection for it. This force is the Mining Association of Black Iron City.
The Mining Association is an association composed of miners and miners, and is incomparable to a world-wide organization like the Magicians Guild and the Alchemy Association. However, this association has 200,000 practitioners in Black Iron City, and controls the mine veins that are more than 100 kilometers long. The length of underground mine caves is more than 30,000 kilometers. It is a giant for the entire Black Iron City.
The total recorded population of the entire Black Iron City is only 200,000, which is equivalent to the total number of members of the Mining Association. Among these 200,000 residents, a large part of them overlaps with the members of the Mining Association. In other words, excluding the miners of the Mining Association, the number of residents of the Black Iron City may be less than 100,000.
Such a behemoth, in Black Iron City, even large institutions such as the Mercenary Guild of the Magician Guild cannot compete with it.
However, the main component of the Mining Association is the low-level poor miners, and the mine owners belonging to them are different, and they are like a mess. In other aspects, they cannot be compared with large institutions.
However, in the issue of providing shelter to the underground market, the Mining Association has unique advantages.
The total length of the mine caves extending over the mine veins is more than 30,000 kilometers. These mine caves form a huge underground kingdom. Even old miners who have accumulated over a long time dare not say that they can understand the direction of all mines.
With such complex terrain, just a hole is found and a tens of thousands of troops may not be able to capture a single person.
So this place naturally became a place where filth and dirt were hidden. Killers, thieves, prostitutes, monsters, barbarians, etc. could find shelter here. Over time, this underground world composed of mines has become a paradise for all criminals.
The underground market of Hei Iron City is located in an abandoned mine cave outside the city. Such mine caves are well connected to the main mine veins. Even if Hei Iron City sends all the city guards to encircle and suppress them, it is impossible to block all the mine caves, and there is no need to be afraid of being attacked by the official.
Because of this unique advantage, the official Black Iron City attacked several times, but there was no result, and in the end they could only let it go.
Over time, the underground market became more and more famous, no longer limited to Black Iron City, but also radiated the entire northwest region. The buildings inside became more and more formal. In the past, it was just a mine cave that could be sold on a few coils. Now permanent buildings have appeared in the mine cave, and a complete ventilation and drainage system has been planned, a public sanitation area is divided, and a dedicated person is responsible for the overall lighting.
The completeness of these public settings has given the entire underground market a good development environment and is becoming more and more prosperous. Now it is like a prosperous underground city.
Because of the maintenance of the Mining Association, the order of this underground market is also good. Things like robbery will not happen here, and even thieves are not common.
All businessmen who make a living in the underground market automatically and consciously maintain this good order.
The safe environment not only attracts those shameful people, but also attracts small merchants like Rolins who have low capital. What does it matter if the origin of the goods are unknown, and things of unknown origin are cheaper. Anyway, she resold them back to the northwest wilderness. In that desolate and remote place, who cares about the source of the goods?
So Rolins has not only been to the underground market, but is also very familiar with it. When Rob asked her where there were materials to buy besides the Association of Chemical Arts, she thought of this first time.
Rolins sat in the position of the driver, wearing a windproof cloak, wrapping her whole body in the cloak. She did this not to hide her identity, but to hide her appearance. A mature and sexy cat like her is very popular among some people with special hobbies. After spending so many years outside, Rolins knew very well how to protect herself.
Rob sat in the carriage and let Rolyns carry him out of the city.
Following the main road, the carriage turned into a small path. After driving for four or five kilometers, the carriage drove into a rift.
When I entered it, I found that the Rift Valley was extremely lively. Various small vendors occupied the Rift Valley, and set up simple curtains to sell and buy. Everything sold ranged from daily necessities to various tools.
However, these goods are all ordinary goods that are visible in daily life, and most of them tend to be the quality required by miners. For example, most of the clothes are dark burlap, which are cheap and wear-resistant, and are most popular among mining workers.
Obviously, this is a regular small market.
Rolins drove the carriage and drove straight to the depths of the Rift without looking back.
I drove to the depths of the Rift Valley and turned around a house, and saw a not-so-conspicuous cave.
The cave has obvious traces of manual digging, and the four walls also support thick logs to reinforce it. It is obviously a mine cave.
In the inconspicuous mine, four or five strong men with large arms and thick waists stood. When he saw Rolins' carriage coming, he quickly came up and raised his hand to guide Rolins to the side.
After stopping the carriage, the strong man who came to meet him also gave Rolins a sign, and inserted a wooden board with the same number as the sign into the saddle, and said professionally: "When you leave, you use your license plate to collect your carriage."
From these details, it can be seen that the mining association that hosts this underground market must have a lot of experience.
Rob got out of the carriage, and the whole carriage suddenly became lighter, and the car Cheng, who was crushed and deformed, returned to its original state. The strong man's expression changed drastically and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
Rob, who was covered in a cloak, was burly and mysterious, full of oppression, with such a strong body and such heavy weight, but Rob's every move was light, without any sluggishness or difficulty.
The strong man welcomed and saw him off at the door. He had already developed a good set of eyes. He could see at first glance that the person in front of him was not simple. He couldn't help but take a little respect on his face, and led the way in front with diligent guidance, while shouting: "Sir, please come here."
