A few hours later, Donghua Empire, Black Town.
They finally arrived at Black Town, which was one of the top ten cities in the Donghua Empire. Everyone was resting here for a while. Later, everyone would be able to meet Blackboard's senior, Xuyang, and the others. They were out on a mission to prevent the demons from entering the territory.
Bai Leng nodded as he looked at the city wall that was made of huge black rocks. He dismounted from his horse and led the students to the front.
As they walked into the city, the streets were filled with people. The Black Town exuded a unique aura. This kind of calm and steady feeling was unique to the Black Town.
Because the Black Town was rich in a special kind of black rock, this black rock was extremely strong and was very good for building city walls. Hence, the Black Town was also called Black Rock City. The leader of the Black Rock City was a fourth-grade source king, Black Xuan. He was also Blackboard's father, who had fought with Jiang Cheng previously.
This city looked pretty good.
Jiang Cheng rode on his horse and looked around. He nodded. The people in this city were generally much taller than normal people. There was also the sound of forging. Jiang Cheng knew that sixty percent of the weapons here were sent to the Southern Pass. However, that was a while ago. Now that the Southern Pass no longer needed to defend against the barbarians, weapons were naturally not needed.
The last time you fought with Blackboard, the Black Town Lord almost came to the Southern Courtyard in person. However, Blackboard stopped his father. His father is an extremely protective person, so you have to be careful.
Bai Leng said faintly as he led his horse to Jiang Cheng's side. The last time Jiang Cheng fought with Blackboard, Blackboard's ribs were broken. Fortunately, it was not a big deal. Otherwise, Jiang Cheng would have a hard time.
It was fine even if his father came. The last time the Southern Prince of Liang City came to the Southern Courtyard, the entire Empire's palace probably knew. If his father really wanted to make a move, he would probably have to think about it.
Rolling his eyes, Jiang Cheng subconsciously touched the space between his eyebrows. There was a golden sword symbol on his forehead. It looked very lifelike and was even emitting a faint glow.
Jiang Cheng knew that this was the appearance of the golden sword after it had recovered. That special form could only be used once a week, and after using it once, the source power and mental strength of the body would appear to be in a dispirited state. Last time, it was because of the energy of the Parga Tree that Jiang Cheng did not fall into that state, but this time, it was uncertain.
However, if other strong people really wanted to make a move on him now, he would have to let them think twice. Now that he had the capital to fight against strong people, Jiang Cheng naturally felt a lot more relaxed.
He subconsciously covered the golden sword with his bangs. This golden sword was still too special. Until now, Jiang Cheng had not figured out the real function of this thing. He only knew a little that this golden sword was special.
While riding the horse, they slowly walked toward the center of the city. Although this Black City was big, the streets were not complicated. After casually walking a few streets, Jiang Cheng, Bai Leng, and the others came to a particularly large black building. This building was in the center of Black City, and the two words "Hei Family" on it indicated the identity of the owner of this building.
Finally, they arrived. Blackboard should be at home. I'm not sure if Xu Yang and Xu Ri are there. Recently, the demon merchants came to Black City and bought a batch of Black Rock. In order to investigate this matter, the Southern Courtyard and Black City cooperated and have been tracking this matter. It has been five or six days, but there seems to be no news.
Shaking his head, Bai Leng gently knocked on the door and waited for a while. After a while, the door opened and a man appeared in front of everyone. It was Blackboard.
Director Bai, you're here. Come in and talk.
Blackboard looked at Bai Leng and nodded slightly. Then, he called everyone and walked inside.
Walking into the Hei Family's courtyard, Jiang Cheng could not help but nod. This Hei Family was really rich. The Hei Family's tall building was in the center of the courtyard, and the surrounding was actually all kinds of artificial scenery. Together with the Hei Family's unique Black Rock, it was extremely beautiful and shocking no matter how one looked at it.
This Hei Family was so rich …
Looking at the beautiful wooden sculptures and wooden stairs, Qian Nan was already dazzled. He never thought that this Hei Family would be so rich to this extent. Walking in the rows of maids could be said to be quite enjoyable.
Uh … well, you can say that they are rich. Because our Hei Family is either on the battlefield or in business, there are basically two civil and military officials in every dynasty. They can be said to be a little rich, but it is not very useful.
Blackboard looked at the beautiful scenery and shook his head. His eyes were a little lonely. With a wave of his hand, a faint source of power was transmitted, and the entire Hei Family's courtyard was covered with a layer of magic shield. Some cold air appeared everywhere in the Hei Family. This was simply an air conditioner.
Level One Magic Frost, such a large area, and it was permanent. Tsk, this magic could not be cast without the strength of Tian Mo.
Bai Leng looked at the ground and could not help but raise his eyebrows. For a magic, Level One did not mean that it was very weak. It just meant that the magic used was less.
In this continent, there was no lack of people who were proficient in magic. They might have the ability of a Great Mage.
However, they only knew a magic like Fireball. But that Fireball was comparable to a Level Four or above magic because they had completely mastered the mystery of this basic skill. Moreover, their control was extremely precise. Even with a wave of their hand, they could even cast hundreds of spells in succession and start a magic chain.
Generally speaking, this kind of people was still rare. To truly concentrate on studying a magic, this kind of perseverance was not something that anyone could have.
The Black City is surrounded by extinct volcanoes. However, because they are volcanoes, the temperature here is very high all year round. In the beginning, you will not feel anything, but after a long time, you will notice that there is an unbearable heat and fire poison eroding your body. So basically, everyone who lives in the Black City basically has a Frost Magic Array. This is also the benefit that the Great Mages of the Donghua Empire gave to the Black Rock City.
Shaking his head, Blackboard said as he led the group towards the building.
Walking into the building, they came to a huge living room. Jiang Cheng saw the two brothers Xuyang and Xuri sitting on the sofa, flipping through some information.
Still haven't found them?
Blackboard walked to the sofa and picked up a fruit on the table. He took a bite and looked at the two brothers.
No, this group of demon merchants seems to have disappeared. The energy imprint I attached was also corroded by their demonic energy. They did not leave the city, but I can't find them. It's very annoying.
Xuri leaned on the sofa and looked at the map in front of him with a helpless expression. From the blood vessels in his eyes, it could be seen that he had not slept all night and had been holding on until now.
Brother, if we really can't do it, let's just stop looking. A batch of black rocks is missing, and the quantity is not that large. This should not affect anything, right?
On the other hand, Xuyang kept yawning and looked at his brother. From the dark circles under his eyes, it could be seen that although he was very tired, he still slept at night.
No, this batch of black rocks is very important. If we can't find the route that they arranged, then the route of this batch of black rocks will be used by the demon race many times. This will have a very bad impact on the Star Empire and the Western Sky Empire. Princess Qian Yue of the Donghua Empire has already given the order to investigate this matter. If we don't solve this problem, it will be very difficult to deal with the next step.
Blackboard sat cross-legged in front of the two brothers and said with a serious expression. His serious attitude caused the two brothers to be stunned. To be honest, they did not think that this matter was very serious at first. However, now that Princess Qian Yue had given the order, it seemed that this matter was not as simple as they thought.
Sigh, Princess Qian Yue really knows how to torture people. Where's your father? Hasn't he returned yet? Are you still able to stabilize Black Rock City by yourself?
The Rising Sun sighed, stood up and looked at Blackboard. Blackboard nodded slightly. Currently, Hei Xuan, who was also his father, was investigating another Black Rock Burglary Case on the outskirts of Black Rock City. Now, Blackboard was the only one in charge of the overall situation in Black Rock City.
At the end of the day, Blackboard still could not understand why his father, who had always done things calmly, would suddenly hand over the position to the young Blackboard. Recently, he had not slept well for a few days because of the matter in Black Rock City. Moreover, his body was still injured.
On the other side, Jiang Cheng listened to the two brothers and walked to the side of the sofa. He looked at the map on the coffee table on the sofa. The map was a standard map of Black Rock City. On the other side, there was some messy information.
Jiang Cheng picked up the information and looked at it. Only then did he understand why the demon merchants risked their lives to buy the black rocks.
It turned out that in the human world, the price of the black rocks was a mere one gold coin per kilogram. However, in the demon world, the price of the black rocks had reached a sky-high price of 54 gold coins per kilogram. This 54 times profit was definitely worth the risk.
This was because the black rocks required a special extinct volcano next to Black Rock City. This extinct volcano contained a special element that could help suppress the demonic aura of the demon race. The demon race itself had been suffering from the rising demonic aura all year round.
Once they did not have the ability to suppress the demonic aura, the people of the demon race would become extremely addicted to killing. This black rock, which was about the size of a thumb, could suppress the demonic aura for three days. This would give some special demons a special buffer time.
