honor me as god

Chapter 10 Underground Trading
Kino wrapped the oil painting and got up: "Let's go, get ready to do business."

Paladin nodded: "You ordered."

"Where are the salt crystals to be processed yesterday?" Kino asked.

Paladin quickly reacted: "It's been washed and stored, I'll get it now!"

Not long after, Paladin brought the salt crystals seized yesterday in a sack. He also took two cloaks and handed one of them to Chino.

Kino took the cloak and squinted: "Why give this to me?"

Paladin said cleverly: "These salt crystals cannot be reported and must be disposed of, but they are expensive, and it is a pity to destroy them directly. You must want to sell them on the black market. The cloak can keep us away from unnecessary eyes. "

After Kino heard it, he looked at him with interest, his eyes deep.

I have to say that Paladin responded very quickly. When he saw Chino's eyes, he realized that it was not good, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm sorry, my lord, I won't try to figure out your intentions."

"You're smarter than I thought." Kino left a sentence half-smiled.

Paladin wiped the cold sweat from his brow, put on his cloak, and led Chino to the black market.

The population of Xilin Town is only 5000. The so-called "black market" is not a real market. It is just a dark alley. There are creepers on both sides of the low buildings. There are discarded garbage everywhere. It is full of flies. Human scratches.

At the entrance of the alley were a few emaciated and ragged homeless men dozing, wrinkling their noses red from inflammation from time to time.You can also see some people who are suspected of carrying contraband from the house, vigilantly observe the surrounding movement, and then take the path to leave.

Paladin should be a regular visitor here, and he is very knowledgeable about it. He wakes up a homeless man and stuffs a few iron moons.

The homeless man was drowsy and muttered like he was babbling in his sleep: "What is the most beautiful sound in life?"

Paladin replied in a deep voice: "It's the echo of the collision of the moon coins."

The homeless man's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he nodded at him, signaling to follow.

Paladin was just about to follow, when he suddenly realized that Kino was not behind him.

He turned his head and saw that Chino was still standing at the entrance of the alley, because of the cloak, he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Paladin was about to call, but his eyes were fixed, and he found something blocking Kino - a pool of sewage.

At the entrance of the alley, there was a pool of sewage, which was mixed with rotting garbage.

Recalling the scene when Kino cut off the blood-stained cuff yesterday, Paladin realized something and trotted over, not at all dirty, kneeling directly in the sewage, his back arched, like a humble servant.

"Thank you." Chino stepped on Paladin's back, crossed the pool of sewage, and walked into the alley.

Guided by the tramp, Chino and Palatine entered a secret passage that was usually difficult to detect, leading directly to the underground. They circled left and right in the labyrinth-like tunnel, and saw many open black market shops one after another.

The overall layout of these stores is very simple. On the shelves, there are things that can be seen everywhere in grocery stores outside, such as gloves, rolling pins, scissors, etc., and the word "good people" is almost engraved on the door.

And those really good things, such as succubus tail fluid, fire bullwhip, fierce tiger bone powder, or illegal drugs such as addictive drugs, they have a secret list, which is only available to regular customers or customers introduced by partners. Never put out.

In this way, even if a soldier can break through the maze-like tunnel and come here for a surprise inspection, they will not be able to catch any clues.

Xilin Town had organized several times to clear the black market, but they had no choice but to deal with these cunning black market merchants. In the end, they could only acquiesce to their existence like other towns, and even secretly cooperated with each other.

Not to mention anything else, the succubus tail fluid is in great demand~
The homeless took the two of them for a while, entered a room, and said, "A regular customer." After speaking, he left by himself.

Inside the house, headed by a thin, rickety old man, with a grin, he will reveal inlaid gold teeth, which are said to be made of a golden moon.

In Xilin Town, everyone called him Lao Tang.

There are two people next to him, one is Tang Lao's deputy, nicknamed the one-eyed dragon.

The other is a muscle-bound thug, a thug with five or three thick muscles, who can tell by a glance that he has a murder case on his back.

"Look who's here, Paladin~" As soon as Paladin and Chino entered the room, Elder Tang greeted them with a smile.

Paladin knew that he couldn't laugh with this kind of profiteer. When you smile, he will think you are easy to talk to and think of ways to slaughter you.

Paladin threw the bag containing the salt crystals forward, and said with a blank face, "There is something you need to deal with."

Tang Lao slowly opened the bag and took a look, the smile on his face solidified, and his expression became gloomy.

Seeing this, the thugs walked quietly to the door, blocking their retreat.

Tang Lao asked coldly, "Where did it come from?"

Paladin glared back: "You shouldn't ask."

"Smuggling salt crystals is a serious crime, do you want to die?! I...wait." Tang Lao pointed to Kino wearing a cloak, "Who is this little guy?"

"Shut your mouth!" Paladin pushed Old Tang, "Are you blind? This is the civil administrator!"

Chino cooperated very well, took off the cap of the cloak, and showed a friendly smile: "Good morning, Mr. Tang."

Tang Lao did not face the awe that civil officials should have, and it can also be seen how unreputable that Chino was in the past.

Tang Lao nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, I understand. You have seized the salt crystal, and if you want to exchange it for money, then take it to me to sell the stolen goods?"

Chino spread his hands and said with a smile, "We can negotiate a suitable price."

Tang Lao walked around Chino, looked up and down without hesitation, and finally his eyes fell on the naturally raised smiling lips, and he hinted with a smile: "Now, our safety is tied together. Well, let's Go somewhere else to talk about cooperation? The bed in my bedroom is very big."

Paladin looked angry, but he didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he could only wait for Kino to answer.

Chino said lightly: "I respect everyone's orientation and don't discriminate against people like you. But I'm sorry, I don't do this either."

Tang Lao slammed, turned around and kicked away the salt crystal bag, and said coldly, "Take it, this thing is too hot, I can't pick it up."

Paladin looked at Chino, who nodded and said nothing.

Paladin quietly picked up the bag and left with Chino, ready to find another house.

I don't know if it was because the failure to hook up made Tang Lao very upset. He spat and muttered, "Something rotten ass."

Chino stopped, turned his back to Tang Lao, and couldn't see his expression.

After a few seconds of silence, Chino walked to the next shelf, selected for a moment, and picked up a pair of small waterproof leather gloves: "How much are these gloves?"

"Three copper moons. What are you doing? You come to the black market to buy gloves?" Tang Lao was a little puzzled.

Chino took out three copper moons and put them on the counter, put on the waterproof leather gloves over the white gloves, turned around, and smiled with amber eyes.
