Chapter 191st The Black City (1)
Bows were necessary weapons for the archers. No matter how
talented Shen Yanxiao was, it would be impossible to acquire archer’s skills
empty-handed. But the problem was where to get a bow.
There were some bows for everyday practice in the shooting field
of the archer branch. However, those bows were guarded by men, and most of them
needed to be fused with magic nucleus. It was only being used temporarily by
students who have not yet had the chance to buy their own bows. And since the
students of the archer branch generally didn’t use those bows, Shen Yanxiao was
all ready to steal one, but Xiu let her give up the idea.
‘The requirements for the bow of an archer were high, and only
the bow that really suits you could make your strength reach its peak.’ Xiu
would occasionally check Shen Yanxiao’s progress and gave out pointers.
Shen Yanxiao could only give up her plan.
The bows in the shooting field could not be used, and the bows
of the archer students were all marked, if she stole them, it could give her
more trouble in the future.
So where could she get her hands on a bow?
When Shen Yanxiao was being extra upset, she heard some
news from Tang Nazhi’s mouth. In a small city north of the Holy Roland School,
there were very prosperous markets, and many of the Holy Roland School students
would buy some necessities from there.
According to Tang Nazhi, not only there were various types of professional
weapons, but also many black market-specific stuffs.
Shen Yanxiao immediately decided. After knowing the exact
location from the mouth of Tang Nazhi, Shen Yanxiao changed her clothes right
away and very eagerly, set out for the market.
Phils City was a very small city. The population of the whole
city didn’t add up to ten thousand or twenty thousand. However, this was the
most prosperous place in the region. As long as one entered the gate, the
street vendors could be seen. Phils City was also known as the Black City. This
place was lawless, so long as you have the money, you could buy everything you
wanted in the Black City.
Dressed in plain clothes, Shen Yanxiao walked into the black
market of the city. Although it was already evening, the streets of Phils City
were still full of bustling crowds. Groups of people stood around the small
stalls, some of them were still wearing the Holy Roland School uniform.
There were also some tall and strong men walking in the middle
of the city. Most of them were expressionless, with weapons on their bodies, wearing
thin garments, they looked extremely capable.
This was a group of mercenaries. Mercenaries were also a major
feature of the Black City.
There was countless mercenary corps in Phils City. They
received tasks in the mercenary trade union, and get everything their employer
wanted in exchange for remuneration.
Shen Yanxiao’s stature was small, just by walking on the streets
would be drowned by the bustling crowd. She wandered on the streets of the
Black City to find her original purpose. A pair of intelligent eyes swept
through the stalls, looking at those strange things above, she was rather
amused.
Magical beasts’ magic nucleus, demonic beasts’ crystallic
nucleus, treasured herbs, and there were also all kinds of animals’ teeth and
horns. Phils City was indeed a black city, where there’s only something you
would not imagined, but nothing you could not buy.
Shen Yanxiao strolled all the way around, seeing a lot of
novelty goods. Pretty soon, her gaze was attracted by a shabby little shop.
This shop was called “Faces”.
A very interesting name. Shen Yanxiao stood at the shop’s door,
looking inside.
It’s not a big shop, but it was full of wooden boxes.
