Chapter 1725: Chapter 524: Sweeping Goods at the Black Market, Tons of Treasures_2
Now we are at the warehouse.
Opening the door, the three of them walked in, descending the dim stairway and swiftly arriving at a massive underground chamber.
Once the Illusion Technique Barrier was deactivated, the cellar’s sights were filled with mountains of Classic Books.
Leonard Churchill started collecting the books into his Storage Space as he introduced them to Sophia Jones and the other lady, “After the Royal Academy was breached, it led to widespread looting. A large number of precious books and treasures have flowed into the market of Giant Spirit City. Many looters do not recognize the real value, and it is even possible to buy a Forbidden Curse Secret Book for the price of a piece of bread… so I bought them to stock up.”
His doppelganger had stayed in the Royal Academy for over half a year and of course knew the incalculable value of the library’s collection.
Among them were many unique and collectible edition Classic Books.
Now, those Classic Books that only High-ranking nobility were once qualified to borrow have entered the market, and of course, should not be missed.
The doppelganger of Leonard Churchill took the opportunity to buy a large number of precious books from the market as soon as possible.
“Is that so…”
Sophia Jones listened with gleaming eyes full of excitent.
She certainly knew the value of these books and helped Leonard Churchill collect them.
Leonard Churchill continued, “There are also many good things in the Black Market. There are at least more than thirty kinds of the Fifty-two Demonic God Secret Skills known, including ‘Gluttony’, ‘Phantom Flash’, ‘Resurrection Foul Ritual’… these Secret Skills from the East Wilderness that only had incomplete versions are also available in full. There are so other treasures too… but the prices were too high, and I wasn’t able to buy them before. So, I plan to go to the Black Market to stock up…”
Other Classic Books might still have undiscovered bargains, but almost every Appraiser can recognize books related to the Fifty-two Demonic God Secret Skills. It’s impossible to buy them.
The doppelganger had reliable information but not much money.
Buying these books had nearly drained his savings.
He knew there were still a large number of treasures in the Black Market.
Moreover, since the doppelganger was weak, and the order in Giant Spirit City was chaotic with frequent robberies, he previously did not dare to flaunt wealth in the Black Market.
But now it was different; the original body had arrived.
Sophia Jones was also very interested, “Hmm.”
She had heard from Leonard Churchill before that there were many good things in the Royal Academy, not only in the library but also various treasures, including no shortage of Divine Artifacts.
Thinking of sothing, Leonard Churchill added, “There’s also news that the largest Rainbow Slave Trading Company from the Southern Continent will be coming to Giant Spirit City in the next few days to hold the ‘Gladiator King Challenge’ finals… and Barre Shepherd is among the ten candidates… the finals will be in ten days.”
Even as the Three Great Kingdoms waged war fervently, people still continued to seek entertainnt.
Even due to the wars, the entertainnt industry and so underground businesses thrived more than ever.
And since gladiator fights were the most popular form of entertainnt among Southern Continent people, it was also one of the most lucrative businesses for Slave Traders.
With many wealthy rchants and Nobles taking refuge in Giant Spirit City, it was pri ti to make a profit. Hence the decision to strategically schedule the finale here.
“Hmm.”
Sophia Jones understood what Leonard Churchill ant upon hearing this.
They were planning to carry out a jailbreak.
Not to ntion Leonard Churchill’s connection, Barre Shepherd had also been kind in offering guidance to Sophia Jones herself, so of course she would help.
Previously, their thods of attempting to steal a person from the hands of a top-rank business like Rainbow Consortium fell a bit short.
But now… without the Holy Church’s armies in Giant Spirit City, and no Ninth Rank, this was almost the perfect opportunity.
Leonard Churchill knew Sophia Jones understood his intention and didn’t elaborate further. Instead, he said, “Moreover, according to reliable intelligence, the Rainbow Consortium, having set up in Giant Spirit City, bought a large number of treasures for a high price right after the Royal Academy’s uprising. Among them were many Demon God Secret Skills, High-order Relics, and top-tier Materials… and also that [Sky-reaching Tower]!”
If you were to talk about the most formidable treasure in the Royal Academy, it might be difficult to determine, but in terms of importance, Leonard Churchill thought the [Sky-reaching Tower] definitely ranked within the top three.
The [Sky-reaching Tower] was the Supre treasure of the Royal Academy, artificially creating an Alternate Dinsion for student trials.
Moreover, it was part of the Taren Dynasty’s [Divine Ruins Treasure House].
The value of this item could not be asured with the sa criteria used for ordinary treasures.
Initially, when the Royal Academy fell, the doppelganger had paid close attention to the whereabouts of a few Supre treasures. After inquiring around, he didn’t know where the rest had gone but precisely learned that the tower had ended up in the hands of the Rainbow Consortium.
And he was one of the few who knew the whereabouts of this treasure.
“Oh?”
Sophia Jones was also very interested upon hearing this.
If they could actually get this item, it would be more than just a treasure; it would hold trendous significance for the entire Card Master Civilization.
…
Before long, after having organized the library in the warehouse, Leonard Churchill and the three of them ca to the Black Market situated in the sewers of North City.
Although many stolen goods were already being traded openly, the truly valuable items were still in the hands of the local bigwigs of this underground market.
Without an acquaintance to lead the way, strangers couldn’t even find the entrance, and the bigwigs wouldn’t show their good stuff.
Leonard Churchill, however, was quite familiar with the Black Market network.
He transford himself into a broker nad “Kulan” using the Clown mask.
This was one of the several false identities he had previously created.
Sophia Jones and the peacock pretended to be the wealthy patrons who had hired him.
As they entered the Black Market, each small wooden building on the rock walls lit with dim yellow Magic Lamps to welco guests.
There were a lot of people coming and going, and each shop had many mysterious custors.
Leonard Churchill also noticed that there were indeed many unfamiliar faces in the market, but the shops were the sa.
Despite the influx of outsiders, getting established in the Black Market was not easy; building a safe and stable supply chain network wasn’t sothing that could be done quickly.
