The magician in the city

Chapter 155 Black Market (3)

Chapter 150 Four

After walking forward for about ten minutes, the number of lanterns gradually increased, and the warm color of the candlelight cast the shadow of a street.At first glance, Roach felt that there was some meaning in Van Gogh's "Cafe Terrace". There were many people in the market, and there were some stalls on the side of the road, and people kept coming.However, the painting in front of me is full of Chinese style, perhaps it can be regarded as the Qingming Riverside Scene of the Impressionist School.

"It's always been night here?" Roach asked in a low voice.

"The original name of this place was Zhouqiao Night Market." Du Zhengyi said, "Although it was in the city of humans, it happened to be outside the city of mages at that time, so the name was changed to Grass Market later."

"It looks like a film and television base. If you hadn't brought me here, I would have thought I was being tricked." Roach said in a low voice.

"The street market here has been around since the Song Dynasty, so of course it's not faked by modern people." Du Zhengyi said.

"I'm so excited," Roach watched the street market getting closer, "If I can't talk to you, I will definitely suffocate. Can you lower the barrier a little bit, I can talk to you with my mind. "

"Impossible." Du Zhengyi said.

Roach said troublesomely, "I guess people here must be very vigilant and alert."

"How else would you guess?" Du Zhengyi said indifferently, as if what Roach said was obvious nonsense.

"Then how do we get together and mutter without attracting people's guard?" Roach said self-destructively.

"It doesn't matter, just hold back and don't talk too much." Du Zhengyi said leisurely, "We are here to buy things, not for you to express your experience."

Luo Qi covered his upper lip with his lower lip in dissatisfaction, and thought in vain that it was too dark here, even if he made a strange appearance, Du Zhengyi couldn't see it, so he half-truthfully pissed off, "Okay, you are not benevolent and I am not righteous, look Alright, Du Zhengyi!"

Du Zhengyi gave a "tsk", "You deserve a beating, don't you?"

While talking, the last part of the journey was over, and there was a person at the entrance of the market, wearing a cross-collared long gown, holding a lantern, and greeted him at the entrance of the street.

Luo Qi suddenly realized that what Du Zhengyi said was wrong, he should not buy a new suit and come here, he should sew a decent robe.

The person who greeted the guests seemed to know Du Zhengyi. He was a tall, well-proportioned middle-aged man with elegant demeanor and bright eyes.He agreed with Du Zhengyi, his eyes fell on Roach again, he looked him up and down slightly within the polite range, and showed him a gentle smile.

He turned his eyes back to Du Zhengyi, and this time he took a serious look at Du Zhengyi, "Mr. Du, long time no see. How are you?"

This is a very common greeting, and it can also be counted as a common business term, but this man's voice has its own tone, and there is also a seriousness in his demeanor. What he said no longer has the croaking of a Watson's sales lady .Roach could feel that there were more words and more power, and more depth, buried under this simple greeting.

Du Zhengyi's answer was equally solemn, "Thanks to my friend's care, it's not bad."

Luo Qi recalled from Du Zhengyi's words that this man might be one of the nineteen managers of the grass market.

"Is this your friend?" the man asked, looking at Roach politely.

"Yes, maybe he will come here by himself in the future, I hope Mr. Mu can take care of him." Du Zhengyi said.

"Of course," the man called Mr. Mu said modestly, "The friends introduced by Mr. Du have always been good customers and good sellers."

Du Zheng turned his head and looked at Luo Qi, "His name is Tanuki."

Luo Qi immediately jumped up and down in his heart, secretly slandering Du Zhengyi for breaking his promise and casually omitting the words "big, king".Tanuki!What the hell is a civet cat?It sounds like a handyman, what's the difference with slippers and mops.

Mr. Mu looked at Roach and showed a natural smile, "Of course."

Du Zhengyi couldn't help staring at Roach suspiciously, but he couldn't see any flaws, and Roach stood quietly.Du Zhengyi was slightly surprised that Mr. Mu's attitude towards Luo Qi, a stranger, was really rare and friendly.

Du Zheng thought about it, and asked casually, "Is Mr. Shi okay?"

"It's quite healthy, Mr. Shi often mentions you." Mr. Mu said with a smile, and suddenly looked at Luo Qi thoughtfully, "There are some rumors in the grass market recently that the civet cat, could it be the big civet cat that some people mentioned recently? King?"

Roach was taken aback, "Someone mentioned me?"

"I heard that Qionglin's little brother recently got close to a great mind master who was born out of nowhere. This master has always called himself the big civet cat king." Mr. Mu said with a smile, looking into Luo Qi's eyes, "although I know , I shouldn’t be delusional that I can see the true face of a great mind master, but I still think you must be very young. Our world is already aging, and there has been no opportunity for a long time to push the waves forward. With the existence of the two of you, I think Mr. Yun's casino business will be booming for a while."

Du Zhengyi smiled, "Can you bet on how long we can escape?"

Mr. Mu smiled slightly, "Mr. Du, you are too modest, believe me, they will bet bigger than this."

Luo Qi was a little uneasy. He never thought that he already had a reputation. He always thought of himself as a nobody. He had no reputation, no trace, and could return to his previous life at any time.After all, he still has four years to read.Four years, long enough to make him forget that this adventure might not last more than three months.

Du Zhengyi also gave him a warning look. He knew that he might be a little nervous, which is not what he should do when he enters a high-level map.

"Mr. Mu, is the jewelry store still the same owner?" Du Zhengyi asked.

"Of course," Mr. Mu said with a smile, and made a joke, "The eighth generation of the stubborn stone store is still very tough, I am afraid that the ninth generation heir will have to wait for a while. Ah, we can't delay the time of the two, please go ahead .”

After Mr. Mu finished speaking, he stepped aside from the main road and respectfully invited them to enter the market.Holding the lantern, he led the way half a step before, and said calmly, "Mr. Tanuki is a new customer. If you like something, on behalf of Zhouqiaocao City, I will give you a % discount."

"Thank you." Roach immediately became excited when he heard that there was a discount, and the worry just now was forgotten.

When they reached the place where the first street light was shining, Mr. Mu stopped and bowed to leave.

Luo Qi immediately tugged on Du Zhengyi's arm, "Mr. Mu, Mr. Shi, is Mu Shi a former alliance?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Mr. Shi is an old woman in her 190s. If you see her, remember to call her grandma." Du Zhengyi said in a low voice.

"Oh," said Roach, "their aliases are better than mine."

"Mr. Li, your name is not bad either," Du Zhengyi held back a laugh, "One name is cat, and I will give you another name, which is Chujun."

　Thank you readers for giving me the motivation to keep writing.
