Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed since Wright apprenticed to Cromwell Holy Magister.

Wright has also reached the peak of a sixth-level magician, and even his physical fitness and fighting spirit have been polished to the level of fifth.

As for the control of magic, Wright can easily compress the volume of the fifth-level high-level fireball technique by one-third, and the power burst is no less than the sixth-level magic, even if it is the sixth-level magic, he can easily change the direction and speed of the magic flight!

However, Wright felt that he was still an insurmountable barrier to level seven.

It has been two months since the end of the sixth level, and the improvement of spiritual power is extremely slow.

The heart is as resolute as Wright, and I can't help but feel a little depressed.

After drinking and eating, Carl suddenly said, "By the way, have you ever heard of the cage war?" ”

Wright and Maui looked at each other.

And Burke nodded and said: "I heard that it is the kind of competition that allows human powerhouses and demonic beasts, or humans and humans to be trapped in a small space and fight each other, but it is much bloodier." Sometimes you are not even allowed to admit defeat, you must fight to the death!"

"The underground area of the imperial capital, have you heard of it!" Karl said mysteriously: "I only found out after I took over some of my father's forces, there is an organization there that is holding a cage war, are you interested in going and seeing?" ”

Maui frowned: "Sounds like it's bloody!" ”

"Man, it's definitely going to be bloody!" Burke didn't care, "You have to see it!" ”

"You can take a look!" Wright nodded in response.

"Then go check it out!" Carl said with some excitement: "Come with me, the entrance is in the West End, and you still have to walk a little way." ”

The underground black market in the imperial capital has a sense of mystery in the eyes of many people, after all, this area is spatially located in the lower city, but the entrance is in the commercial area. Legend has it that the black market is actually in a hollow underneath the lower city.

Of course, reality is often not exaggerated by rumors, and sometimes it is even more exaggerated.

Wright, Maui, and Burke each have their own opportunities, Wright is a disciple of the Sanctuary, Maui is the heir of the earl, and Burke is the only one of the three who has experienced adventure. The three of them are not all ignorant children or ignorant greenhouse flowers, but they have only heard of the underground black market in the imperial capital.

Seeing Carl leading them into a 'splendid', the faces of the three of them were a little strange, this is a casino. Carl, on the other hand, made a 'silence' gesture.

Carl, however, led the way, walked into the casino, spoke to one of the casino's administrators, and followed him into a basement.

The staff saluted respectfully, and then took their leave, leaving the four behind.

Carl took out a key and stuck it under a lamp in the basement, and a stone door slowly opened.

After the four of them walked into the door, there was a long and narrow passageway, and looking at the strange eyes of several brothers, Carl explained: "The underground black market is indeed located under the lower city, but it is not a natural underground cavity. Instead, it was excavated by merchants in the West End, initially to avoid paying taxes, and then step by step

It has developed to the way it is today. ”

"More than half of the big shops, casinos, and hotels on this side of the West End have secret passages to the underground black market, which is actually a semi-open secret!"

"Now, the underground black market actually takes on the role of major forces exchanging all kinds of contraband with each other, and any shop you see may have the support of our magic academy, or a certain duke or even the royal family behind it."

The four of them walked as they communicated, and soon saw a bright light.

"Ah, this is the underground black market, I thought it was a very dark place!" Maui sighed with emotion, indeed, the environment of this underground black market is not dark at all, but brightly lit, similar to the auditorium of the academy at night.

Compared to the three Wright, Carl is much more familiar with this place.

As soon as I entered, several merchants approached politely. They saluted Karl.

"Master Karl!" The bald merchant in the blue burqa greeted him very warmly.

"Mr. Rousey!"

"Mr. Mark." The mild-mannered old gentleman with a beard nodded implicitly.

"Viscount Disaya!"

Carl finished dealing with the merchants, while Wright and the other three friends watched the play.

"Carl, it looks like your face is quite big here!" Wright chuckled.

"It's not that my dad gave me some of the power... In the future, we will become powerful magicians, relying on our own strength, and that face will be our own. Karl said.

"Okay, Carl, take us to see the cage battle!" Maui urged.

"What's the hurry, the battle of the cages is fixed at six o'clock in the afternoon, at the 'Traveling Theater'. There's still three hours to go, so we'll take a look. There's a lot of fun going on in the underground black market. ”

"It's a pity that I can only watch it, and I don't have the money to buy it." Maui rolled his eyes.

"Don't look at me, I don't have much money." Burke grunted, "You can't make much money by going out on adventures." ”

Wright didn't say anything, he's a pauper, too.

Among the four, only Carl is richer, but everyone has self-esteem, and it is impossible to spend Carl's money to buy things.

But even if it doesn't cost money, there's plenty to see on the black market.

"A few honorable young masters, do you want to take a look at my goods?" A big-bellied businessman smiled lewdly and beckoned Wright and the other four.

Behind him, there were iron cages of various sizes, each of which contained one or more girls who were almost naked.

There were a few of these girls who were showing off their fancy, and they even made a provocative gesture when they looked at Wright. And more of it is numbness, as if all sparkle has been lost in his eyes.

This is a merchant who sells women and a slave trader.

Karl sighed, ignored the merchant, and hurried out of the place.

"Carl, the slave trade, most of it is illegal... Wright's tone was a little solemn.

"Most of them are illegal without being detected. After all, the only real legal slaves are prisoners who have been sentenced to long prison sentences, and prisoners of war in war. But if someone really checks it, you will find that they are all legitimate, and they can always find the right evidence to prove it. Karl shook his head, "It's useless, the benefits of the slave trade on the mainland are too great, not to mention us, even the emperor of the empire can't stop it." Even if the powerhouses of the Sanctuary could destroy one slave organization after another, it would be impossible to prevent the emergence of new slave organizations. ”

"These women sold in the underground black market are okay among slaves, and they are worth a lot of money, and unless they meet particularly perverted people, they can still live in peace. The most pitiful are the slaves who were sold to the mines, and who lived to live for three years. ”

There was silence. The four of them are all some hot-blooded young people, and their hearts are relatively pure after long-term magic practice, and they are always sad to encounter this kind of unpleasant but powerless thing.

But soon the four of them recovered their spirits, after all, they couldn't do anything, so they didn't think about it, it was just an episode.

The four of them walked all the way, and Wright didn't know much about the West End business district, but Maui studied alchemy, and Burke tried out, and bought a lot of things in the business district. But they also found that what was peddled on the black market was very different from what was being sold in the commercial district.

The first is cheap, and the price of the same commodity on the black market is at most six or seven percent of that in the commercial area.

The second is that more than one-third of the goods in the underground black market are illegal.

Of course, there are many kinds of illegality, some illegal goods are prohibited because they are inherently prohibited, and some are problematic in obtaining them, or stolen goods.

For example, Wright and the others passed by a pharmacy that looked very whole, and this pharmacy was actually selling 'Angel Dust' in addition to normal medicines. Angel Dust is a highly addictive and mentally disturbing medicine created by alchemy. However, it can only be absorbed by magicians when meditating, and cannot be absorbed by ordinary warriors at all.

This drug is notorious among the wizard community. If this medicine dares to be sold in the West End, the First Academy of Magic will directly send guards and teachers to arrest the pharmacy personnel and destroy the medicine.

However, in the underground black market, the staff of this pharmacy did not shy away from selling it publicly, and even peddled it to Wright.

Wright and the others naturally didn't give him a good look, and even Burke took note of the man's face and prepared to report it back to the academy. Although the academy will definitely not interfere in the internal affairs of the black market, if this person is found outside the black market, he will definitely be arrested and questioned by the academy. If 'Angel Dust' is found outside the black market, it's over.

And there are also some goods, which are obviously from the wrong way, such as the standard armor of the eight imperial legions, such as the precious works of art of the royal family - but it is not certain, maybe the military bosses and royals themselves secretly sell them to make some money.

"It's because it's not the right way, so it's cheap!" Karl said with some emotion: "Many of these merchants in the underground black market are even wanted, but as long as they don't leave, the empire will rarely be embarrassed." Of course, this means that the offense is not too big. After all, this black market can only be established with the tacit consent of all forces in the empire, and it also has the purpose of slightly appeasing some uncontrolled powerhouses. If you really want to provoke the powerful forces in the empire, it is not for nothing that the entire black market has been bulldozed! ”

At this moment, the four of them were sitting in front of a tavern a few hundred meters away from the 'Traveling Theater', of course, none of the four of them were drinking, and they still had to be a little wary in the black market.

Soon, the cage battle in the touring theater will begin.
