Templar Sun King

Chapter 161 Black Market
"So, we're going to Hattings now to find out where the news came from?" Adam asked.

"It's not about inquiring, my dear. Find the owner of Hastings and ask the source directly. Hastings is a famous place for selling all kinds of news from the Bafison Business Alliance. We have reason to believe that the owner of Hastings knows something." Isabella speeded up, "If he is willing to cooperate, I am also willing to spend some gold coins to buy this news. If he is not willing to cooperate, you know, for the sake of the moon well, I will do anything."

Adam mourned for Hastings for a second in his heart: "Okay, I will help you."

It happened that a spell of holy flame was sealed in the brand new wand, and the power could be tried at night, if the master of Hastings didn't cooperate.

"Bella, wait." Two knights, Dellogu and Lande, rushed out of the room.

"Two minutes, we'll go with you," Lang said.

"Are you sure you want to dress up like this?" Adam watched as the two priests of the Harvest Church changed from knights to two fairly ordinary adventurer warriors, the kind that no one would notice in the crowd.

"Is there a problem?" Rand asked.The priests and knights of the Harvest Church are not as extreme as those of the Dawn Church. They can't do things that would damage the image of the Goddess of Harvest, such as directly participating in coercion and lure as a temple knight of the Harvest Church, so such a disguise is necessary.

Adam shook his head: "It's so kind, I have a good idea here, do you want to listen to it?"

Dellogu and Lande looked at each other, and looked at Adam together.

Ten minutes later, a group of priests and temple knights from the Church of Dawn appeared in the city.

***
Hastings is a well-known black market of the Buffett Chamber of Commerce, specializing in the sale of various gadgets that cannot be bought in the ordinary market.It can be said that wherever there is a city in the Bafison Chamber of Commerce, there is Hastings.If you want to inquire about news, you are always right to go to Hastings - this is a saying often said by adventurers who are not short of money.

Hastings' clerk leaned on the counter boredly, looked at the magic clock hanging on the wall, it was one o'clock in the morning.Usually, this time is the busiest time for the black market, but since the person in charge posted the news about Zoe personally today, no one has come here to buy things for a long time.

As a guy who has worked in Hastings for many years, he is very clear about what the moon well means. Now that the adventurers and businessmen outside have gone crazy, how can they come here.If he didn't have a job, even he himself would like to try his luck, maybe he could spend the rest of his life among fine wine and women.

Just as he was fantasizing about the wonderful life after obtaining the Moonwell, there was a sound of footsteps at the entrance.

Judging from the series of footsteps, there must be no less than five people who are about to enter Hastings.It was a notable figure, and the guy leaning on the counter immediately became alarmed.

The black market is not an ordinary shopping mall. The composition of personnel here is very complicated, and there is often a professional responsible for collecting information squatting in an inconspicuous corner.The more people present on the black market, the greater the potential for exposure.So if it is not necessary, there are often no more than two people in the black market.Besides, as a black market, things like murder and robbery are really normal.Once more than five people appear, it means that precautions and vigilance are required.

The guy knocked on the glass on the counter, and several other guys became alert.

Those who entered Hastings were six priests, three priests, and three temple knights.It can be seen from their attire that this is a team that believes in the Lord of Dawn.

"Hello, distinguished guest, what do you need?" The man dared not neglect, these priests who dedicated their body and mind to the gods were the last to be offended.

"Where is your leader?" The man saw the youngest priest in the team asking in a very arrogant tone.

"Guest, we..."

Before the man could finish explaining, his neck was pinched and lifted up by a very strong knight standing behind the young priest. He had to stand on tiptoe, his face flushed.

boom!
Another knight closed the gate of Hattings and stood guard there.

"Invite your responsible person out!"

A piercing siren sounded in Hastings. Facing the sudden attack, the remaining guys immediately pressed the siren.Four silver professionals hired by Hastings came out from the rear, three warriors, and a mage from the flame faction.

"Church of Dawn?" The flame mage hired by Hastings was an old man, and he was a little puzzled after seeing the costumes of a group of people.It stands to reason that the clerics of the Church of Dawn are correct, but he did not detect the unique aura of faith in the three priests.Could it be fake?But who on Upler dared to pretend to be a priest of the Church of Dawn.

That's right, it must have used a special method to cover up the aura of faith, making us think it was done by a group of people pretending to be the Church of Dawn.In fact, this group of people are members of the Church of Dawn itself, so it's true and false!

It took less than two seconds for the flame mage to get a reasonable explanation.

"Everyone, the owner of Hastings is one of the nine directors of the Bafison Chamber of Commerce. If there is any lack of service, please speak up first. Sometimes force cannot solve the problem." Flame Mage signaled Mr. Put down the buddy in your hand.

In the past, he would have thrown a burst fireball in the past, so there was no need to negotiate in such a humble manner.But there is no way, the opponent's strength is far above them.The moment he came out, he found that among the six priests present, there were actually five silver ranks, and all of them were silver high ranks, and even the worst ones were bronze high ranks!
So he can only hint at the strength of the forces behind Hastings, hoping that there is room for relaxation.

The rudimentary form of the Bafisun Chamber of Commerce was the joint rule of several big merchants. Although it later became a political body, the dominant merchants were still all kinds of powerful merchants.Today, nine big businessmen with huge wealth and power are in charge of the Bafisun Chamber of Commerce. They are called the directors of the Chamber of Commerce, and the master behind Hastings is one of them.

Offending the directors of the Chamber of Commerce means offending the rulers of the Bafisun Chamber of Commerce, especially when the other party is a few clergymen of the Church of Dawn, which is not beneficial to both parties.

But the other party didn't seem to understand the flame mage's hint. The young priest raised the wand in his hand: "Where is the person in charge here, we need to ask him a few questions."

Too embarrassing!

The flame mage was trembling with anger, a little bronze priest dared to talk to him like this, I really wanted to throw an exploding fireball at him!

"Guest, our person in charge is now..." The flame mage pretended to answer seriously, and at the same time he made a gesture with his right hand behind his back, activating a magic circle in Hastings with the magic power.

A red magic circle rises on the ground, and the raging flames burst out into four walls of fire, trapping the six priests of the Church of Dawn together.

When this magic circle was arranged at the beginning, it was to prevent such things from happening. It has never been used, and it finally came in handy today.

The four walls of fire are a full three meters thick under the amplification of the magic circle. If you stand outside and throw a sword in from the outside, you will get a dagger.

Facing the orange flames gushing out from the wall of fire, the young priest released an eggshell-like shield to envelop the six of them together with that unlucky fellow.

Among the six, the priest whose whole body was covered under the robe and who could be seen to be a woman at a glance quickly took out his wand, shielded an atmospheric shield in front of the flames, and gave the young priest a hard look, telling him to scatter the eggshells.

Sure enough, they are people from the Church of Dawn!
The flame mage can now be 100% sure that the group of people in front of him are the priests and temple knights of the Church of Dawn.Other things can be faked, but the magic that is naturally used in critical moments cannot be faked.The eggshell-like shield used by the young priest just now is a very famous defensive magic exclusive to the Church of Dawn.

Although this magical technique was immediately replaced by the priestess with the atmospheric shield, he is a silver-rank mage anyway, so it is impossible to misunderstand.

The intruder is undoubtedly the Church of Dawn!
"Ignorant idiot, can this trap us?" The priestess is stronger than the flame mage imagined!His next spell didn't even take shape, and the priestess swung her wand in a tiny swirl.In the blink of an eye, the vortex turned into a miniature tornado, bursting out with powerful suction.

The goblet of fire on the fire wall was continuously swept away, and the original three-meter-thick wall of fire quickly became extremely thin. Through the flames, he could even see the disdainful expression on the face of the priestess.

The tornado sucked away all the flames on the fire wall, turning into a small flame storm and descending on the room!The magic circle was directly destroyed, and there was a crackling sound from the place where the magic circle was arranged in the room. Today was the first time he used it, and it was also the last one.

The flame mage's legs were trembling, and the flames in the magic circle were forcibly swept away by the opponent with a tornado and turned into a flame storm?

This kind of situation of controlling other people's magic elements and taking them as their own, even the Golden Archmage may not be able to do it.

It's not magic!

The poor guy was still on the ground by the strong temple knight. The guy raised his head and saw the normally high-spirited four silvers with the expression of seeing a ghost.

"Invite your responsible person out." The flame mage saw the priestess manipulating the flame storm and walking towards him.

He swallowed and tried to force a smile: "Please wait a moment."

The situation in front of him was really beyond his ability. It wasn't because he didn't do his duty, but because the priests and temple knights of the Church of Dawn were too aggressive.
