The Flea Nest was located between the Gorse District and East York District. It was known as the crack between heaven and hell, and was the largest flea market in Clayston.
Here, you could see the poorest people of the lower class, cheats, prostitutes … You could also see big businessmen, lawyers, doctors from the upper class … and even noble girls who were looking for excitement.
It was next to the Woking River, so it was easy to get to. The terrain was complex, and it was a haven for criminals.
However, the security here was surprisingly good. At least, it was better than East York.
A carriage stopped outside the flea nest. After giving the driver the order to wait, Chung Shen-soo and Chris walked into the flea market together.
The most eye-catching thing was not the stalls and shops, but the number of sheriffs.
Some of them were patrolling vigilantly, while others were putting up notices. The inspectors only glanced at Chung Shen-soo and Chris before leaving.
"What's going on?"
Chris went forward to look at the wanted poster and exclaimed, "So the criminals from the previous attack were not completely caught, there is still a dangerous criminal who escaped … Female, black hair and black eyes, killed three public security officers, extremely dangerous … After the citizens found out that the report was valid, there was a reward of 10 to 50 pounds, why is there no reward for catching her?"
Because the bounty hunters could not be caught, and they might even die on the spot …
Chung Shen-soo added in his heart, and nodded to himself. There are smart people after all … Are there already adepts in Clayston?
As long as they were not like the Primal Core team, who had boldly charged over from the sky, they would still have a chance to infiltrate this place if they were to blend in with the local team.
Another factor is that the infiltrator will not be too strong, and will not attract too much attention …
Before the war between the two countries, the spy war has already begun … I wonder what kind of misfortune the Clement Kingdom's Beyonders will encounter if they sneak into the depths of the Second Empire …
Because the target was an Asian, the sheriffs were not very wary of the locals, to the point of letting their guard down.
"They will soon suffer and realize that most cultivators know how to cast illusions …"
Chung Shen-soo shook his head and followed Chris into the flea market.
"Rosemary powder, good quality rosemary powder!"
"Holy water and holy oil produced by the church … quality guaranteed!"
"Candles made by mermaids can burn for eternity, allowing ladies to maintain their youthful appearance forever …"
"You want to become an Extraordinary? The Book of Mysteries with the first sequence recorded is only 90 pounds, no bargaining allowed! "
…
Countless shouts gathered together, forming a noisy atmosphere.
"Don't trust these peddlers and roadside stalls … They might be here today, but they might not be here tomorrow. They are the most likely group to sell fake goods."
Chris lowered his voice and said, "If you want to buy things, I suggest you go to a fixed shop. Although the price is high, it's not easy to be cheated …"
"I want to buy the real Mystical Knowledge, or even the sequence chain. Of course, the more complete the better," Chung Shen-soo said.
"My classmate once recommended a shop to me. Even though the price is high, the owner is a trustworthy person."
Chris's eyes were filled with envy as he led the way.
He also wanted to become an Extraordinary, but firstly, he did not have enough money to buy knowledge, and secondly, he was not prepared to take other risky and unknown paths.
His plan was to do his best in the Royal School to gain the favor of the professors or members of the royal family, and obtain the opportunity to become an Extraordinary.
But it was not easy.
Not to mention the fact that it often took years, there were too many outstanding young people in the Royal School.
Chris was originally a well-known young scholar in his hometown, but after entering university, he realized that his knowledge, experience, and even etiquette and appearance were all at the bottom.
This was a huge blow to the original pride of the Heavens.
Chung Shen-soo did not care about Chris's complicated expression, and followed him to a big shop, where he saw the signboard — Weeping Rose!
"Looks like a shop opened by a woman …"
He purposely muttered and entered the shop.
There were no windows in the shop, and the light was maintained by the candles on the huge silver chandelier on the dome.
Countless wax had covered the entire candlestick, and it looked like it would drip down at any time.
There were no shelves around, only a few different curtains that formed corresponding doors. It seemed like there were many tents set up in the building.
"Esteemed guests, may I know what you need?"
A maid wearing a complicated purple robe came out to welcome them respectfully.
"We want to purchase mystical knowledge, hmm, it was recommended by Silver Hair Horn." Chris cleared his throat.
"So it was recommended by a regular, please enter the red door." The maid bowed.
Chung Shen-soo was the first to lift the curtain and walk through the red door.
He felt as if he had walked into a library, and the surrounding mahogany bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books.
Sheepskin scrolls, printed books, messy manuscripts … They were all piled up together.
In the middle of the bookshelf, there was a mysterious witch in a purple dress. On the table in front of her, there was a golden skull.
At this moment, the skull seemed to have sensed the arrival of someone, and two bright flames suddenly rose from it.
Chris could not help but shiver as he was stared at by the flames, and he felt a chill down his spine.
"Guests, please do not read the books here without permission, or else you will be punished by the cursed items of the deceased …"
The witch in the purple dress opened her mouth, her voice was hoarse and low, with a mysterious charm.
"This is the legendary cursed item of the deceased?"
Chris's interest was piqued. He stared at the golden skull and exclaimed, "I heard that no one knows how these cursed items are formed, but they all have their own strange abilities, and are full of misfortune. Most of their owners have a miserable ending, as if they were cursed by the deceased …"
"Hehe …" The witch let out a hoarse laugh, "In fact, cursed items are just a special type of mysterious item, but their negative effects are more powerful. If you do not know how to avoid them, you will indeed meet with misfortune … For example, this skull, its ability is to issue an order of the dead, such as within a certain range, it is forbidden to read without permission. As for the negative effects … please forgive me for not being able to say, unless the guest buys it …"
Chris seemed to be very tempted, but just looking at the golden texture made him sadly cover his pocket.
"In my opinion, they are more like inferior products that failed to be made …"
Chung Shen-soo came in front of the witch and stated his request, "I want to purchase mystical knowledge, the higher the better, and the information of the sequence chain …"
