The night was getting dark, and the man covered in a black hood and cloak entered the darkest corner of the city—Dark Street.
This is a well-known black market in this small city, where the most criminals gather in the whole city, but the order here is surprisingly good, because the manager of the dark street is very powerful, and he enforces the trading regulations of the dark street, and does not allow Someone is deliberately making trouble here.
Zhou Yu's whole body was hidden under the cloak so that no one could see his face clearly. In fact, most people on this dark street were dressed in this way. After all, people who came to the black market to trade were more or less There are some inconvenient secrets that are best covered with clothing and cloaks.
Zhou Yu kept walking all the way, and soon came to a shop in the corner of the dark street.
"Boss, the same way." Zhou Yu imitated the tone of the original owner and said to the owner of the store, and took out a pocket tied to his side, revealing some bright golden hair faintly between his movements.
The boss was a gloomy old man with a wrinkled face. He picked up the heavy bag, opened the bag, and checked the medicine inside.
The pure color medicines in the transparent glass test tubes show beautiful colors under the bright light.
"Well, it's not too bad. The quantity this time is less than before, and the price can't be the same as before!" The boss looked at it for a while, a gleam flashed in his cloudy eyes, but hesitation appeared on his face, as if He looked very embarrassed, "You know, we agreed on fifty bottles per month, but look, dear Riel, it's only twenty-five bottles! It's half short!" Riel is the original owner's pseudonym , after all, it is on the black market, even if the original owner is unsophisticated, it is impossible to directly use his real name to trade here.
Zhou Yu still didn't take off the hood of his cloak, the lower half of his face exposed by the hood was smooth and flawless, and his light-colored lips evoked a mocking smile.
"Old Jack, are you really old? So old that you can't see how high the quality of this batch of potions is?" He has the memory of the original owner, and naturally knows that the words of people on the black market cannot be trusted. Compared with the original one, it has improved a lot. Not to mention only twenty-five bottles, even half of it is worth more than the previous fifty bottles. I was just too lazy to bid and wanted to sell it for money as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that the boss thought he was It was the same Kalil who only cared about the experiment and didn't care about the price before, and wanted to lower the price again.
"If it doesn't work, then I can only go to another one. Although it's a little farther away, it's okay. I have plenty of time." Zhou Yu made a gesture to leave, and he closed the bag again in his hand, and was about to take the bag away .
Seeing this, the boss panicked immediately, with a flattering smile on his face: "Oh, don't be so anxious, dear Riel, I didn't see it clearly just now! Let's pay as usual! Old Jack I'm the most trustworthy, don't go to another one, it's a black shop, it's so cruel, God, you don't dare to think, how black is that damn Tom!"
Zhou Yu watched Old Jack acting in front of him, and said expressionlessly, "The price will be doubled."
Seeing old Jack's expression hesitated, Zhou Yu picked up the bag and turned around to leave. The old Jack behind him immediately shouted: "Okay! I agree! Double! Who made Riel my best partner! From now on, as long as you There are still goods, just come to me to sell them! I will accept them all!"
Only then did Zhou Yu stop and a deal was reached.
Before leaving, Old Jack kept saying good things with a flattering smile, hoping that Zhou Yu would continue to bring medicines of this quality next time, and he could buy them at this price.
Regarding this, Zhou Yu was noncommittal. He already planned to leave the city, this time just to make up for the recent living expenses and travel expenses.
After weighing the heavy money bag in his hand, Zhou Yu tied the bag tightly and tied it back to his waist. Judging from Old Jack's performance, the price of his medicine may be even higher, far more than that, but he is in a hurry to spend money, and Old Jack is the sales channel he is most familiar with, so he can only sell it at a low price .
However, after this encounter, Zhou Yu also had a solid understanding of his alchemy level, at least he should be able to cope with a level test of the Alchemy Society. You must know that Old Jack’s here is the largest purchase point of alchemy potions in the dark street. He usually handles countless alchemy potions, and formal alchemist’s potions are also common, but he has never seen him so enthusiastic like this time, which shows his quality. Really high and rare.
Thinking about the recent itinerary in his heart, Zhou Yu walked out of the dark street, and in a corner he didn't notice, several sneaky figures followed quietly.
Not long after he walked out of the dark street, Zhou Yu noticed a few people behind him, his heart tightened, and he clenched a dagger hidden in his sleeve. Sure enough, the money was not in vain. He forgot to be careful when he traded with Old Jack just now. Coupled with his thin body, he was easily targeted. Although fighting is not allowed in the dark street, no one cares about it outside the dark street, so they can only admit defeat.
Near the dark street are some streets inhabited by civilians. It is very quiet at night, and it is far less brightly lit than in the rich area. After all, although the civilians are better than the poor in the slums, they are not particularly rich and cannot support themselves. The high cost of kerosene lamps every night, so they always went to bed early to save lamp oil money.
At this point, the entire street was darkened, only a few street lamps were lit by the night watchmen, barely illuminating the road ahead.
Although Zhou Yu has learned some simple spells in the past few days, he has not actually fought in the end, so he doesn't really want to cause trouble. He just wants to quickly get rid of the people following behind him, so he quickened his pace and started to trot.
Seeing that the target was about to run, the people behind him immediately accelerated to catch up.
"Boy! Stop! I will consider saving your life!" One of the strong men with a scar on his face roared ferociously, and the three younger brothers behind him also took out their knives and sticks.
Zhou Yu didn't speak, and his pace was still steady and unhurried.
Seeing that Zhou Yu was running farther and farther, and he was about to increase the distance, the leading man with the scar spat and threw the knife in his hand to Zhou Yu.
He had a good head shot, and the knife pierced Zhou Yu's head very quickly. Zhou Yu had no choice but to stop and turn his head to the side to avoid the knife. Because he stopped in a hurry, his figure became unstable, and the hood slipped off. , revealing a head of golden mid-length hair that became more and more brilliant in the dark night.
Taking advantage of Zhou Yu's stop, the people behind him quickly surrounded him with unkind eyes.
Zhou Yu raised his head and looked indifferently at the head of the strong man with the scar.
With the gradual integration of soul and body, his body has undergone more and more changes. First of all, his appearance has become softer and more beautiful, with an indescribable charm, and his skin has become whiter and smoother. The rest of the Caucasians in this world have rough skin and large pores.
But this is not what Zhou Yu wants. In this chaotic and dark era, a beautiful appearance can only bring danger.
Fortunately, his adaptability to spellcasting is also increasing, and he can learn spells very quickly, but the original owner can't afford too advanced magic books, and he can only learn some spells with low power, which are not very effective.
So after selling the potion this time, he is going to take the alchemist certificate as a guarantee of identity, and then leave here to study magic in Kailans, the capital of magic. But I didn't expect that it was just selling a potion, and I accidentally got into trouble.
"..." Zhou Yu, who didn't have a correct understanding of his own beauty, looked at the silent strong men around him, raised his eyebrows, and was a little puzzled.
The burly man with the scar promises that this is the most beautiful person he has ever met in his life. Even Anna, who is known as the heartthrob in the red-light district, is not as beautiful as her. Her beautiful golden hair is as white as snow. Skin, beautiful and deep emerald green eyes, like an angel who descended into the world, makes people feel no blasphemy.
"You... what's your name?" The strong man with the scar turned back from his previous cruelty, and asked the name of the beauty in front of him shyly. The younger brothers beside him also looked at Zhou Yu obsessively. Saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Yu didn't speak, and stretched out his palm with distinct joints, and a faint green light lit up in the palm.
"Get lost! Otherwise, I will kill you!"
It turned out to be the caster!
Several strong men immediately fell to their knees, sweating profusely, and never dared to look up at that beautiful face that was not like ordinary people.
They actually bumped into a noble spell caster! Thinking of the cruel ending that those who offended the spellcaster would get in the legends about the spellcaster, several people trembled and were too frightened to move at all.
Zhou Yu didn't expect that this frightening little lighting spell could scare these people like this, so he snorted coldly pretending to be arrogant, closed the spell, turned around and left quickly.
It was almost dawn, and he had no time to spend here!
Through the performance of these gangsters, Zhou Yu once again gained a deep understanding of the lofty status of spellcasters, and also strengthened his determination to learn magic.
He must become a powerful spellcaster, so that he can find Feng Xing!
Zhou Yu didn't consider the possibility of not being able to find Feng Xing, which would make him collapse. He could only deceive himself in this way until the truth woke him up from his fantasy.
Behind them, the few people who were kneeling on the ground still did not dare to move. After a long time, the sky was getting brighter, and the few people slowly stood up, with the fascination for the awesome spellcaster still remaining in their eyes, but Gradually, these obsessions turned into sluggishness, a strange pattern appeared on the back of their hands, and their expressions turned into fear and madness.
"No! Ahhh! Dangerous! This world! Is in danger!" They ran around as if they saw something terrifying, like a lunatic.
"That's right, the only way to escape danger is to return to the embrace of God! Return to the embrace of God!" After a long while, their minds were gradually lost as they ran wildly, and their eyes were stained with bloodthirsty red.
Several people attacked each other frantically, and some civilians who had just woken up also suffered, and became the souls of these lunatics.
Legend has it that evil gods will turn the human beings they fancy into priests, and priests will also have a kind of charm that does not belong to humans. It is the mark left by the gods on them, and it is the symbol of the gods. mark of strength.
Anyone who offends the priest will be punished by God.
Back home, Zhou Yu took off his cloak, which had become cold and wet from the morning mist, and went back to his room to rest.
After a night of sleepless nights, he couldn't hold on any longer. Anyway, he had already prepared breakfast for Franken in advance, so Zhou Yu didn't have to worry about starving Franken to death.
The incident of the evil spirit possessing him a few days ago still gave him a little psychological shadow on Franken, at least he didn't want to get too close to him recently.
After washing up hastily, Zhou Yu decided to go to the Alchemist Academy to take the certificate test in the afternoon, and now he will rest for a morning before talking.
For some reason, he felt extremely tired, his eyelids kept drooping, and he was full of sleepiness.
Maybe it's because I've been staying up too late lately, Zhou Yu lay on the bed and thought with sleepy eyes, but the original owner also often stays up late, shouldn't he be used to it
With some doubts, Zhou Yu fell into a deep sleep.
The sound of wind chimes came from my ears, crisp and sweet.
Zhou Yu in his sleep felt that the bed under him was extremely soft, the kind of softness that almost sinks into him, making people very comfortable.
There was some slippery feeling on the back of his hand, itchy, not annoying, Zhou Yu thought he was dreaming, but as the slippery feeling got closer and closer, his arms, shoulders, neck, cheeks, and chest were almost all over his body. All over his body, the touch made him breathless, his skin flushed, and he felt something was wrong.
What's going on... Is this... Fengxing? No, it's not Fengxing!
Zhou Yu came to his senses, frowned in resistance, and wanted to shout out, but found that only broken moans could escape from his lips.
Noticing that something was wrong, he subconsciously rolled his eyes, trying to wake up from this nightmare, but to no avail.
Damn, who is it! Is it really a dream
The violent ups and downs of emotions made him try his best to resist the rising tide, and finally opened his eyes.
A pair of deep blue eyes came into view, and Zhou Yu finally saw the true colors of those mischievous things on his body—they were countless tentacles wrapped around him!
call! call! call!
Sitting up suddenly from the bed, Zhou Yu breathed heavily, his fair and handsome face was flushed, he tried hard to suppress his shortness of breath, and cursed viciously: "Damn evil god!"
Looking at the traces on his body and the feeling of dampness under the quilt, Zhou Yu's eyes were gloomy, and he wished he could take a bite out of that evil god's body.
