Another world, I have an elf magician

"Your Highness, we have brought you the person you are looking for!"

afternoon a few days later.

In Mia's room, I followed and saw two guards pressing a paunchy man over from left to right.

The man fell to his knees, very frightened. When he saw me directly in front of him, he was trembling with fear.

"Randy, is this the person you're talking about?" Mia asked from the wheelchair.

I replied: "Yes, it's him. Even if he turns into ashes, I can recognize him!"

"Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me. I'm just a little horse thief. I should never have provoked you. Please, sir, please let me go. I still have a wife and children. I don't want to die." ,grown ups!"

Before he could question him, the guy in front of him started shouting for mercy. He was so frightened that he burst into tears. He looked so pitiful.

A guard in charge of the escort said: "Your Highness, Lord Randy, this guy is a horse dealer who specializes in stealing horses for resale!"

"Is he just a horse dealer?" Mia looked confused.

I asked the man: "Do you know what crime you have committed?"

The man's voice trembled and said: "Sir, the villain should not have stolen your horse. It is the villain's fault, but the villain does not want to die!"

"Did you steal that horse from the horse factory?" I asked.

The man shook his head and said: "How can a villain have such courage? He specializes in stealing horses from the horse factory.

That mare was bought by the villain at a low price from the underground black market. Almost all the things there were from unknown sources and were unclean, so the price was so low! "

Mia said in a soft tone: "You are just a horse dealer, and you have not committed any big crime. I have a chance to redeem myself. I don't know if you are willing to do it. Moreover, after the incident is completed, I will also You will be given a certain reward.”

"Yes, yes, of course I am willing, as long as I am not allowed to die, I am willing to do anything!" the man said excitedly.

Mia pointed at me and said to him: "You and Mr. Randy go to the black market together and find the black market owner who sold you the horse. I will pardon you. If you do it well, money is not a problem!"

"Yes, yes, I will do it immediately, immediately, immediately!" The man nodded.

Just like that, I followed him and left the club together to the street.

"Sir Randy, I am very familiar with the black market. I can take you there soon!"

"Haha, don't try to play any tricks. You have seen my methods before!"

"Yes, yes, I don't dare to play tricks. You are the one close to Her Royal Highness the Princess. Even the baron listens to you. The whole town is so big, where can I escape to?"

This guy was caught by Mia's men, of course, provided that there is information provided by me.

If he tried to escape, he would be caught again soon.

The underground black market, as the name suggests, is a black market located underground.

The business here is all shady, there are slave traders, animal traders, jewelry sellers...

When I came here, I looked at these vendors and felt thoughtful.

When I saw skinny slaves tied with chains passing by me, I felt disgusted with this kind of trade.

Probably because I am a time traveler, the education I received since childhood made me think this was a wrong thing, but in this other world, slave trading has become a common thing for these people.

The location of the underground black market is relatively hidden. It is on the inside of a sewer entrance. There are layers of guards guarding you when you enter.

It was lively inside, but not as crowded as on the street.

Following the man, I was always alert for pickpockets.

Through conversation on the way, I learned his name, Anke.

"Sir, there is a stone gambling den ahead. Where am I, the horse I exchanged for two magic stones?"

"Gamble?" I was very curious and asked, "What is that?"

Anke said: "Stone gambling, as the name suggests, means betting on stones with money. The stones in the stone gambling field are obtained in some mazes and ruins.

If you are lucky, you can find priceless magic stones, or the elf beast sleeping inside. If you are not lucky... you will get nothing. "

"So there is such a thing!" I suddenly realized.

Anke said: "Is this your first time to know this? You might as well play a few games to ensure that you can experience the fun!"

I shook my head and said, "No, it's more important to do business!"

As we talked, the stone gambling den arrived.

Although the shelves inside are all made of stones, they are also full of dazzling arrays of different colors, which look very beautiful. Some of them even shine, with dots of patterns on them.

"Hey, I got it, I got it!"

"Oh my god, it's an emerald star stone. This thing is perfect as jewelry!"

"Oh my god, this is such a huge profit, I'm so envious!"

……

I saw, not far away, a man leaning against the counter, scraping the stone with a knife. He jumped up excitedly, raised the green crystal stone he had ground in his hand, and shouted loudly.

The spar emitted green fluorescence and was only as big as a little finger. There were piles of debris on the counter. It seemed that the man had been grinding it for a long time.

"Is that green crystal valuable?" I asked.

Anke replied: "Of course, sir, that is the jade star crystal specially used for jewelry. Generally, women like to use it as diamond rings, necklaces, or earrings. The market price is very high."

"Understood!" I nodded slightly, thinking that I was going to get married to Xikali soon, and a diamond ring was indispensable.

If you can find the raw material for the diamond ring, especially this kind of emerald star crystal, maybe Shikari will like it.

In addition, I want to give Yani some jewelry, but I have never given them any jewelry, so I feel a little shortchanged.

I opened my mouth and said to Anke: "I have decided, I want to bet on stones!"

"Ah, what, sir? Didn't you say you don't bet on stones? Why..." Anke looked confused.

"Is there any problem?" I asked him back.

"No problem, no problem, as long as you like it!" He immediately shook his head.

Then, he took me to the counter.

Standing behind the counter was a young man. When he saw Anke, he took the initiative to say hello. He seemed to be an old acquaintance.

"Mojie, let me introduce you..."

"no need!"

Anke was about to introduce my identity to the counter guy, but I interrupted him directly and said to the counter guy: "I want to bet on stones!"

The boy at the counter smiled, pointed to the shelf next to him enthusiastically, and said, "Guest, you have come to the right place. Our stone gambling rate is quite high. One out of every ten customers is trapped in a stone." The bet yielded something good.

I suggest you choose the row on the upper shelf, because the higher the price, the greater the chance of successful bet. Maybe, you can also bet on a good elf beast? "

I asked: "According to you, there are some spirit beasts trapped in the stone, so why do they appear in the stone?"

The boy at the counter was stunned for a moment and said: "It seems that this is your first time as a guest. Let me tell you that elven beasts, especially the insect type, will close their senses to receive external information and hibernate during special periods.

Among them are some ancient level elven beasts, which hibernate for a long time, until the changes in the sea and the earth's crust change, or some elven beasts encounter accidents during the period of hibernation and are buried underground. There is a layer of eggs condensed with magic power to protect them from death. After being buried for a long time, they turn into stones. Later, they were discovered by humans on the mainland. Over time, a culture of stone gambling was formed! "

"Interesting!" I smiled slightly, took out the sunglasses I carried with me, put them on, and then opened the Elf Eyes.

The Elf Eyes emit a green shimmer. In order not to be noticed by others, I put on sunglasses.

"Can I choose freely?" I asked.

The guy at the counter said, "Just pay, but this is your first time here. I won't bully newcomers, so I suggest you listen to me and choose the row with the higher prices?"

I shook my head and said, "No!"

Observing the stones on the shelf, I, with my clairvoyant ability, quickly discovered the treasure buried inside.

I stepped forward, stretched out my hand, and dug around in the bottom row of stones for a long time before pulling out a gray stone the size of an egg.

"That's it!" my voice.

The guy at the counter sighed and said: "This customer, the goods on that row of shelves are all cheap and very low-grade. Even if they can be sold, they may be miscellaneous things that are worthless. Are you sure you want this?" ?"

"Sure, you tell me how much it will cost!" I said.

The boy at the counter held out five fingers and said, "Fifty copper coins!"

I threw out a silver coin and said, "No need to change the change. I will use the rest for betting on stones!"

"Okay!" The boy at the counter happily took the silver coin, bit it with his teeth, confirmed it was correct, and put it into the cash box.

He handed over two things, a knife for grinding stones and a rectangular grinding rod.

I waved my hand and said, "There's no need for these."

"Ah, did I hear you correctly? Guest, are you sure you don't need these!" The counter boy's eyes widened.

Anke next to him said: "Sir Randy, grinding a stone is a very careful job. If you are not careful, the contents inside will be damaged and the price will drop. If you don't use tools, you can open it directly with magic. It will be very difficult." It’s easy to damage the contents inside!”

"I know!"

With a slight nod, I used my own grindstone method.

I saw this egg-sized stone being gently rubbed by my three fingers, big, small, and medium.

The outer stone turned into powder and fell off, as if it had been polished by a machine.

This operation immediately stunned the counter boy and Anke next to him, and they were dumbfounded.

After a while, other people around me were attracted to my attention, and they all stared at me in disbelief.

"Oh my God, that guy is grinding a stone with his hands!"

"This...this, how many years of skill does it take to achieve such exquisiteness?"

"I'm not blind, isn't that guy's finger hurting?"

"It's so awesome. You can tell he's an expert at first glance!"

……

I smiled, looked at the people around me, and then concentrated on polishing the stone.

After half a minute, I polished off the stone in my hand, revealing the sparkling white diamond inside.

"It's done!"
