This time, the tavern was really completely quiet. People avoided Qianye's eyes, lowered their heads and started drinking.
The old man behind the bar smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, boy, there's no need to be so cruel, right? His nose is still very useful."
Qianye had already sat down in front of the bar and said calmly: "But his head doesn't work very well."
"Are you here just to provoke?"
Qianye said calmly: "I'm here to do something, but if someone provokes me, then the guy's nose just now is the answer I will give." He narrowed his eyes and said pointedly: "I
I'm not interested in the grudges between those hairy guys and vampires at all, as long as they don't get in my way."
The wrinkles on the old man's face were almost all squeezed together. He muttered something and did not continue the topic. Instead, he gave Qianye a glass of wine.
Qianye picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The wine was particularly spicy, and several flavors were mixed together, forming an indescribable feeling. But after staying on the tip of the tongue for a while, it began to spread in the mouth.
It has a strange sweetness.
Qianye raised the wine glass slightly, shook it slightly, and watched the clear and pure wine ripple on the wall of the glass. It was such a completely colorless liquid, but several different flavors would break down in the mouth. He was silent
Staring at the curved cup body, the blurry shadows of most of the tavern guests behind him flashed before his eyes one by one.
This tavern is more dangerous than it seems. After the wretched man shouted just now, half of the people, including the old man behind the bar, reacted with the dark force!
These people have either completely fallen to the dark side, or are deeply involved with the dark race. Of course, there is also a very small group, that is, the bloody hunters, who make a living by hunting the dark race in order to obtain more
Strength, without hesitation to embrace the dark force.
Such a place actually exists in Darkblood City, and it seems to have quite a history.
Qianye had always heard of this kind of place before, but this was the first time he had experienced it in person. It was actually a stronghold of the dark forces underground in Dark Blood City, a true gray area between black and white. Many people from Pure Dawn
Things that cannot be found in the Yongye camp can be obtained here.
This is an underground trading point between humans and dark races.
There is not only one such trading point in Dark Blood City, some are larger than here and trade more things. However, no matter in Dark Blood City, the upper echelons of the expeditionary force, or even the empire, there is no response to such trading points.
Existence is all about turning a blind eye.
On the one hand, the transaction volume is very limited, and a large part of it is various intelligence, both human and dark. In comparison, more information flows out from the dark race. In this way, these trading points
It has become an important source and transmission channel of human intelligence. In an environment like the Evernight Continent, it often even becomes one of the most important channels. On the other hand, some strategic materials that are very important to mankind can also pass through such
However, under the iron-fisted control of the empire, the strategic materials flowing out of these channels are quite limited.
The dark race also needs a large amount of strategic materials, such as black crystal, red crystal iron and black crystal iron. Naturally, the more the better. Since they cannot obtain it from these semi-public trading points, they will go through other channels.
For example: Wu Zhengnan. This is also the real reason why the upper echelons of the empire are intolerant of taboo transactions. Because that is the passage that is truly completely hidden in the darkness. The number of black crystals flowing out from there is not controlled at all, and is only controlled by the purest
Driven by economic interests. Over time, quantitative changes will turn into qualitative changes.
Qianye shook the blurry figures on the cup completely, then raised his head and drank a large sip of wine, letting the spicy and hot wine burn all the way to his heart and lungs. At this time, the golden blood that had been swirling around his heart had just calmed down a little.
Restless.
No one else present would know that what the wretched man said was true. As soon as Qianye stepped into this place, the golden blood reacted extremely strongly. When the man came closer, he began to swim out along the blood veins uncontrollably, and
Exuding the aura of the Force.
Qianye activated the Dawn Force to emit mist-like crimson force light purely for concealment. The bits of golden light that the man inhaled were the breath of golden blood. Even Qianye did not expect that the uncontrollable golden blood
It is so poisonous to the owner of the dark force that even a little bit of breath will immediately decompose flesh and blood and rob the power almost instinctively.
When the golden blood came into contact with the man's force, Qianye sensed some feedback information from the force, and finally understood why both sides reacted so strongly. The man's dark force attribute was actually in the werewolf zone.
When Qianye finished the glass of wine, the old man at the bar seemed to feel something, raised his head and said: "The person you are waiting for has arrived, go in! He is behind that door."
Qianye followed the direction of the old man's finger and walked into an inconspicuous small door on the side of the bar. He went deep and saw a small room at the end of the passage. The door was not closed, and a thin middle-aged man was sitting inside.
A young man. His face is slightly majestic, with an obvious shadow between his eyebrows.
Qianye walked in directly, sat down in front of the middle-aged man, and said, "I didn't expect to see a person with demon blood. What should I call you?"
"Jorgen. You can also call me Black Owl. This name is more widely known."
"Mr. Black Owl, I heard that you can give me the necessary help?"
"It depends on what you need. But before we talk about more in-depth topics, can I take a look at your token?" The black owl spread his hands and said: "You know, if you are not careful enough in our line of work,
Otherwise, he would have died a long time ago."
Qianye took off a simple jade ring from his middle finger, put it on the table, and pushed it towards the black owl.
Jorgen picked it up carefully and input a trace of force. Two threads as thin as gossamers lit up on the inside of the ring, and a pattern appeared on the surface, an eagle head with crossed swords in its mouth. He breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the ring back.
He gave it to Qianye and said: "It is indeed a token of the Wei family from the Far East, the most senior deacon of the Supervisory Academy. Okay, I understand, and I will provide you with any service within my ability."
Qianye quietly took the ring and put it back on his finger. Before he left Qinlu, Wei Potian sent someone to deliver it, along with several addresses and information including this tavern. Now Qianye understood that this
Even if the trading point is not affiliated with the Wei family, at least the Wei family has enough influence in it.
"I want to check some transactions, transactions with dark races." Qianye said.
Qianye's words obviously made Jorgen a little nervous. He moved his hands with his fingers crossed on the table and asked: "Who is it related to? What kind of transaction?"
"Black Current City, 7th Division of the Expeditionary Force. Forbidden transaction."
"Forbidden transaction!" Jorgen took a slight breath and said slowly: "You should be very clear about the people who can conduct forbidden transactions. Do you really want to continue?"
"Yes." Qianye's tone was calm but decisive.
"It's really a coincidence. I happen to know the most recent one." Jorgen took out a piece of paper and quickly drew on it. He quickly sketched a map, marked a certain location, and then wrote a
The date. He handed it to Qianye to look at, then lit the paper on the fire and watched it burn to ashes.
Qianye had already written down all the details, then took out a piece of black crystal and handed it over. Jorgen put it into his pocket unceremoniously and said, "I wish you good luck."
Under Jorgen's guidance, Qianye quietly left through the back door and disappeared into the night.
In the next few days, Qianye lived a very peaceful life. He practiced every day except for training. He almost never went anywhere again until the news from the Hunter Guild came through.
Jorgen provided the precise location and time of the transaction, while the Hunter Guild's information was relatively trivial and vague, but Qianye learned some of Wu Zhengnan's history from this.
Wu Zhengnan's 7th Division has been secretly trading with the dark race for many years. The transaction with Qi Yue that Qianye met was not the beginning, but an attempt to open up a new channel. The main trading items on Wu Zhengnan's side were not against the human race.
Important materials, equipment or intelligence, but vampire products equivalent to top-notch luxury goods. For Wu Zhengnan and his allies, although luxury goods did not contribute to the combat power of the human race, the profits of the latter were far less.
Much higher than the former.
After comparing the intelligence from both sides, Qianye confirmed the authenticity of the next forbidden transaction. The location was not far from Black Current City, about two hundred kilometers away.
Qianye thought about it for a while, and then prepared to go over in person to see what the content of this forbidden transaction would be.
Wei Potian and Qianye agreed that within one month, he would bring people to Yongye Continent to remove Wu Zhengnan from the position of division commander. As for how to achieve this goal, Prince Wei naturally did not need to worry about it. The Wei family would allocate him counselors who are good at this.
, there will also be someone to plan the plan on his behalf, Wei Potian only needs to nod symbolically.
So the result is that Qianye is still vague about how he should cooperate with the Wei family's actions. But one thing is always right, and that is to get as much evidence about Wu Zhengnan's taboo transactions as possible. The more such evidence there is,
, he should stop trying to escape from impeachment.
In the early morning of the next day, Qianye boarded the aerostat flying to Blackstream City. At noon, Qianye left Blackstream City and entered the wilderness with a big backpack on his back.
Not long after Qianye left, Blackstream City suddenly became noisy and noisy. A whole group of heavily armed soldiers rushed to the city gate. After questioning the guards carefully and failing to get the point, the group of soldiers turned around angrily.
In Blackstream City, Qi Sicheng was sitting in his study, listening to the reports from the soldiers with an extremely ugly face. When he heard that no one had been arrested, he couldn't help but got furious and cursed the two sergeants who reported back.
, and then they all drove out.
After the study room was clear, Qi Sicheng stood up, looked at the map spread out on the table, and pondered for a long time. In fact, the information he received was very vague, and it was expected that he would not be able to catch anyone.
"Who is so interested in our transaction? However, you can interfere in this kind of thing casually? Be careful not to break your claws!"
