The area where the Ax Bar is located is called Hulin District. Although it is nominally subordinate to the nearby Kingdom of Seta, in fact due to its geographical location, it has become a no-care zone and is also a famous crime city.
Here, criminals, exiles, and even the Night Familia from all over the world gather. Of course, demon hunters are also indispensable.
If it weren't for the deterrence of the demon hunters, I'm afraid the entire Hulin District would have turned into a hell on earth, a hunting ground for the Night Familia to plunder wantonly.
There is no doubt that such a chaotic place is the favorite of many dark organizations, and it has unimaginable markets and intelligence channels.
At this time, Fang Yuan came to the west area far away from the Ax Bar, walking among low shacks.
Behind the cracks in the door and the wooden window, many greedy eyes looked at him, and after seeing the giant sword and holster, they shrank back in awe.
Most of the residents in Hulin District are scum. When you are strong enough, they will show their humblest side in front of you, wishing to kneel down and lick the mud from your boots. Once you lose your maintenance With the force of their own safety, they will immediately transform into beasts, take away everything from you, and make full use of it—including your flesh and blood!
This is the experience of an old demon hunter, and Fang Yuan fully agrees with it.
Naturally, he came here not to experience life, but for information!
Hulin District has the largest black market nearby, and naturally also has the largest intelligence chief!
Although the injury has healed, he is still very interested in the group of magicians.
"And... I also need to continue to study. Previously, Hulk only studied the basics of demon hunting, advanced pharmacy, blacksmithing, and higher demon hunting skills, but he didn't even touch on them..."
At this time, those unscrupulous looks finally made Fang Yuan feel a little disgusted.
His eyes widened, and an astonishing murderous aura suddenly spread.
Whizzing!
Almost in an instant, all eyes disappeared without a trace, and the sounds of falling were heard one after another. This fear would even follow them and turn into an eternal dream.
"Um?"
Regarding his actions, Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Is it the influence of the devil's aura? It makes me more irritable and irritable..."
Although he transformed the demonic power in his body, the method was too crude. If he were replaced by another demon hunter, he would 100% become a fallen one.
Even if it was him, some of the remaining aura and influence could not be eliminated immediately.
"The union's holy water doesn't have this problem at all. It's obvious that it has developed a very mature manufacturing process and also used some kind of supernatural power..."
The opponent is the Night Familia. If the demon hunters only have a little physical attack power, it is simply a joke.
"The headquarters of the Witcher Guild, I will go there one day!"
Fang Yuan pulled his collar, completely covering half of his face, and walked into a dark alley.
Different from the chaos outside, as soon as he entered the alley, Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and felt a little dangerous.
Obviously, the defensive strength here is far greater than that outside.
He walked mindlessly, as if he hadn't noticed, and walked into a grocery store at the end of the alley.
This shop is no different from an ordinary shop, except that there is a small door behind the counter.
"stop!"
But when Fang Yuan wanted to pass through, two burly mercenaries immediately appeared: "Who are you? What are you going to do?"
"I'm looking for Black Jack!"
Fang Yuan lowered his voice: "It was Nightingale from Tengland who introduced me."
"All right!"
The two mercenaries, who were obviously experienced in battles and full of murderous intent, nodded: "You know the rules, don't mess around!"
Black Jack is an intelligence leader in the black market. Although he is not the biggest one, he is still well-informed.
Of course, the most important thing is that the resources Hulk had at hand before were only this contact information.
Fang Yuan naturally adopted it immediately.
After all, some of the things he wanted to find or the secrets he wanted to explore were taboo for demon hunters. Using the union's intelligence channels was no different than an idiot.
After passing through the small door, there is indeed a different world inside.
The spacious room has neat wooden shelves with various rare materials or contraband items placed on them. Fang Yuan even saw a revolver that Hulk had wanted to buy for a long time but was short of money. The silver gun body bloomed with mystery. of light.
Black Jack has an outstanding reputation in this area, but he is just a white-haired old man wearing luxurious clothes.
When Fang Yuan saw him, he was behind his desk, puffing away at a pipe.
"Are you Black Jack?"
Fang Yuan frowned. Although the old man's behavior was elegant, it still had a trace of old age and was incompatible with the atmosphere of the black market.
"What? A little disappointed? Because Black Jack is just such a bad old man?"
Old Jack smoked his pipe: "Tell me... young man, what do you need?"
"intelligence!"
Fang Yuan said without hesitation: "I need to find information about one or several such families. Their identities are uncertain, their personalities are withdrawn and irritable, they seem to be mentally ill, but they can often gather good wealth... Of course, they may also have some knowledge. The mysterious power of..."
"Um?"
Black Jack looked solemn: "With such conditions, you can still find a few after screening... but I'm not sure if that's the person you're looking for."
"No problem, give me all their information!" Fang Yuan nodded: "You make an offer!"
"hey-hey… "
Instead, Black Jack smiled leisurely: "With this condition... do you want to find the magician family? Young man, you are... a demon hunter?!"
Seeing Fang Yuan's slight frown, he quickly explained: "Don't be nervous... For people like us, the existence of demon hunters and the dark world is not a secret!"
"Since you also know the magician, everything is easy. Is it difficult for you?"
"It's naturally a bit difficult, so we can talk about the reward now..."
Black Jack showed a profiteer smile and rubbed his fingers.
"you say… "
Fang Yuan ignored the fact that he was a pauper and spoke in an unusually loud tone.
"Money is nothing to me anymore..." Black Jack sighed: "I have a copy of the magician's information here. It is definitely the latest information, but to get it, you need to pay a price! For example … A mission!”
"You want to hire me?" Fang Yuan frowned.
"Yes, I have encountered a little trouble recently... I need professionals to solve it!" Black Jack emphasized the pronunciation of the word "professional": "You solve it for me, and I will give you information! Fair deal!"
"I'm a witcher, not a mercenary!"
Fang Yuan said deliberately.
"Haha... That's just right, because the trouble I encounter comes from darkness!" Jack shrugged: "Otherwise... do you think all these wolf dogs I raised grew up on a vegetarian diet?"
As if he was afraid that the demon hunter would turn around and leave, Jack added: "As long as you can solve this trouble for me, I will pay you a reward afterwards, and the amount will definitely satisfy you."
"Give me the information for this time first... If it is confirmed that it is the Dark Night Familia, I will take it!"
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "And... I want to advance part of the reward this time!"
"This is impossible! One hand pays the money and the other hand delivers the goods. Black Jack has never violated his principles!" Black Jack almost jumped up.
"That's my condition!"
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes.
His original plan was to pay the bill with a gun and a sword. At this time, it seemed that the negotiation was getting a little stalemate, and the palms of the surrounding bodyguards had already touched the holsters of their guns.
"This... okay!"
Black Jack's face was gloomy, but after a moment, it suddenly changed: "I agree to your conditions, and I hope you can fulfill your promise!"
"No problem, we demon hunters will repay our trust!"
Fang Yuan smiled brightly, showing his white teeth and looking very sunny.
And when he left the black market, he held the parchment in his hand with a thoughtful smile on his face: "This Black Jack... is interesting! It's really interesting!"
…
"You all, get down!"
In the black market, Old Jack rarely continued to smoke his beloved pipe. Instead, he dismissed his bodyguards and servants and came to the secret room alone.
This quiet room is very secret, even among the people around him, no more than three people know about it.
It was filled with various gold nuggets, gems, and huge safes, and it looked like a small vault.
Old Jack said the same thing to his confidants to cover up a certain secret.
He dug out a gold basin from a pile of gold ornaments and lit a flame.
"Master... your servants are here to summon you!"
Following a mysterious ritual, the flames in the brazier suddenly turned blue, and a human face vaguely emerged from it.
If the demon hunters saw this scene, Black Jack would definitely be on their hunting list.
Because he is clearly a night worshiper!
The so-called Night Worshipers are actually believers of the Night Familia. They are still human beings and have legitimate identities. They have not experienced bloodline transformation and chaotic pollution. Even if a demon hunter is face to face, there will be no difference.
But in fact, they act as servants and housekeepers of the Night Familia, taking care of their apparently worldly property and doing many things that are inconvenient for them to do.
"explain!"
The pale human face flickered in the flames, eyes fixed on Black Jack.
"There is a young demon hunter who is looking for the whereabouts of the magician family. I have followed the master's instructions and attracted him to 'there', and I am also trying to find out his identity..."
Jack knelt down humbly and said flatteringly like an old dog.
"Very good... If there are still demon hunters coming, we will follow this method!"
The pale man smiled: "Jack, my servant! As long as you continue to serve me, I will fulfill my promise and grant you eternal life!"
"Thank you, kind and generous master!"
Old Jack was overjoyed. The older people are, the more afraid they are of death! At his age, in order to continue to survive and enjoy everything, he will do anything at any cost, even if he becomes a monster!
