Elf: How do you cultivate immortality in the elf world?

Chapter 121: Take you to see the darkness of the world.

Lu Li looked at Ekaterina with pretended confusion, then grumbled with some disdain, "What kind of connotation can Linmu City have? It's just a third-tier city, even worse than Qingmu City."

"Since you don't know, I'll take you to learn more about it." After saying that, Ekaterina opened the car door and got back in.

"boarding."

Just as Lu Li was about to sit in the back seat, he found that the back door was locked.

"I think you should sit in the passenger seat." Ekaterina reminded quietly.

Land from:"……"

Lu Li sat in the passenger seat depressed.

"You really don't know Linmu City?" Ekaterina continued to ask.

"really do not know."

Lu Li replied with pretended helplessness.

Ekaterina didn't test Lu Li again. Instead, she smiled and joked, "Linmu City has the seventh-largest black market in southern Kyushu. How could a commoner like you not know this? I remember Linmu City should be next to Qingfeng City where you live, right?"

"What I'm curious about now is why you, a foreigner, know more about Linmu City than I do." Lu Li looked at Ekaterina curiously.

"The Marco Luo you defeated yesterday is my cousin. Although we are distant relatives, his father is the mayor of Qingyun City." Ekaterina said casually.

Land from:"……"

Lu Li did his best to act like a hot-blooded newbie who knew nothing, and then asked in a feigned indignation, "Then why hasn't this black market been shut down yet?"

“Because that black has a background.”

"What kind of background? Could it be bigger than the Alliance?"

Lu Li pretended to be hot-blooded and looked indignant.

"The person behind that black market is Yu Zhonggang, your current sponsor." After Ekaterina finished speaking, she gave Lu Li a meaningful look, her eyes full of teasing.

Land from:"……"

If Ekaterina knows about this, then the mayor of Qingyun City must know about it as well. If the mayor of Qingyun City knows about this, then the Asian Alliance must know about it as well.

and so……

This world is so damn dark!

He originally thought that Catherine didn't know this?

Seeing Lu Li's devastated expression, Ekaterina, who thought she had seized an opportunity, consoled him, "Unless there's a factional fight, the higher-ups generally turn a blind eye to such matters. It's the same in any alliance."

Lu Li did not continue the conversation as he wished, but instead asked, "So why are you going there?"

"I will show you the world and let you know the darkness of your Kyushu region."

Hearing this, Lu Li was speechless.

Do I still need you to take me to understand the darkness of this world?

Lu Li chose to remain silent.

Ekaterina did not say anything else, as if she wanted Lu Li to digest the news he had just received.

There was no conversation along the way, and the red car soon arrived at the western suburbs of Linmu City.

The journey was almost smooth, with no identity verification or inspection in between, and the two soon arrived at the so-called black market.

Most of the people here are trainers who come here for outdoor adventures to barter. At least it looks clean on the surface.

"Don't look at it. It's for newbies who know nothing. The real black market is underground." After Ekaterina finished speaking, she took Lu Li to a bar called House of Flame.

Ekaterina walked up to the bar and said indifferently, "Two glasses of Black Flame, please."

The bartender looked at Ekaterina in surprise. Although this was the seventh-largest black market in the southern region, it was rare to see faces from the Foreign Alliance here.

"OK, just a second."

The bartender pushed over two glasses of red wine, with two red cards soaked in the glasses.

The bartender respectfully wished: "I wish you two guests have a good time." After getting the ID card, Ekaterina took Lu Li to a bathroom marked as a third-gender bathroom.

This so-called restroom is actually an elevator. After the card is swiped and verified, the elevator starts to descend.

Lu Li, who was visiting the black market for the first time, asked nervously, "Don't we need to cover our faces with something?"

After all, that's how it's written in novels. No matter whether it's the protagonist or the supporting character, they will hide their identity when going to the black market.

"Can you find the material to block the prying eyes of super-powered elves?" Ekaterina looked at Lu Li in surprise.

Lu Li shook his head honestly.

"So what do you use to cover your face? Or do you have Ditto?"

Land from:"……"

"No."

Lu Li shook his head, feeling somewhat speechless.

"That's right. The black market officials have prepared the most Psychic-type Pokémon. And who among those who set up stalls here doesn't have a Psychic-type Pokémon? It's useless even if you wear ten masks." Ekaterina complained.

Soon the elevator stopped.

Ekaterina stepped out of the elevator first, and Lu Li followed closely behind.

“Is this the black market?”

Lu Li looked at the prosperity in front of him in surprise.

There are all kinds of pedestrians coming and going, as well as a variety of vendors.

No wonder this is the seventh largest black market in southern Kyushu.

"The Black Market is the best place to find bargains, because most of the people setting up stalls here are uneducated and have no formal training.

"They don't have enough knowledge to discern the value of certain precious items. If you're interested, you can browse around more. You might even find a great bargain," Ekaterina encouraged.

Lu Li nodded.

He would have done it even if Catherine hadn't said it.

After all, it’s so hard to come to the black market. If you don’t make good use of it, it would be a waste of this opportunity.

Lu Li quietly formed seals with his hands, and his spiritual eyes quietly opened.

Lu Li, who was thinking about finding a bargain, kept scanning the surrounding stalls.

Most of the vendors seemed to know the value of what they were selling, and some even charged a bit too high.

Seeing this scene, Lu Li was speechless.

Like the Fire Stone.

The market price of this thing is about 10, but it costs 11 here.

If someone really needs the Fire Stone, wouldn't they know to buy it from a regular store?

"Why are the prices here so inflated?" Lu Li complained speechlessly.

"The lower one is over there."

Ekaterina said, pointing to the darker area.

"Those items with higher prices are of good origin. If you want to pursue value for money, you can only go there. The items there are of questionable origin. Although the prices are cheaper, buying them may bring disaster." Ekaterina explained.

Lu Li nodded, then headed towards the dark area curiously.

Looking at Lu Li's back, Ekaterina's mouth curled up slightly, and then she took out a special instrument from her pocket.

Looking at the energy fluctuations and the core red prompt displayed on the instrument, Ekaterina's face was full of excitement.

"It's actually true... Arceus is so kind to me." Ekaterina whispered excitedly.
