Me, Hydra

Mandrake was also relieved to hear Jen's words, and then a stiff smile rose on her face.

"Come with me, anyway, Sandra has been waiting for you for a long time."

As she said that, Mandela motioned for Jen Seral and the others to follow her.

Seeing this, Jen didn't push the matter and followed straight on.

With a glance at the crowd in front of him, Hydra shrugged her shoulders, then said, "I'll take a stroll around the city first, just shout at me with the communication stone if you need anything~"

As they said that, Hydra and Black Chastity turned around and left in the opposite direction of the crowd. And for Hydra's departure everyone said that it was expected.

There was no other reason, everyone knew Hydra was a person who hated hospitality before coming here, this Fire Dragon Birth Festival Hydra of the Salamander Community was here more because of the development of the nameless, right?

So for Hydra, the Fire Dragon Birth Ritual was actually an item. Or rather, it was just a springboard.

And for the springboard, Hydra didn't have the idea of deep communication....

With a glance at Hydra beside her, Black Chastity set Algol, who was sitting on her shoulder, down.

Holding Algol in one hand, Black Chastity said softly, "So what should we do now? Just walk away?"

At the news, Hydra tilted her head indifferently.

Taking a glance at the surrounding cities of the Salamander Community, an odd feeling of oddness was quietly born in Hydra's heart.

"Ever feel like this place seems a bit strange?"

As she walked, Hydra said so without turning her head back.

Hearing Hydra's words, Black Chastity also narrowed her eyes and focused her spirit. With the addition of the Flame of Vengeance, Black Chastity also felt a faint, but indeed existent malice in this giant city.

This malice wasn't an emotional evil like joy, anger, or sorrow, but an evil similar to that which was bestowed.

To put it simply, it was like the scent of Algol's body...

"A demon king has his eye on this place?"

Black Chastity's expression looked a little surprised.

On the way here again, Black Chastity also did some research on this Community called Salamander, and according to Jen Serral's words, the Salamander Community was one of the largest and strongest several communities in the Northern Region.

One had to know that the founder of the Salamander Community was a two-digit level existence....

Nodding, Hydra looked at her surroundings with small interest.

"Just as you thought, if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that this so-called Fire Dragon Birth Festival has been targeted by some organization."

After a moment of silence, Black Chastity frowned and said.

"But wasn't the Salamander Community established by a two-digit existence? Would anyone really take that kind of risk to ruin a small ritual?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Hydra spoke softly.

"What's in this? Don't forget, before this, the Arcadia Community was still the number one community in the East Region, with the most number of demons knocked down in human history. Even something like the Human Final Trials sealed one. But in the end, wasn't it still destroyed by the Demon King?"

Narrowing her eyes, Hydra continued.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Demon King who did it to the Salamander this time should be from the same organization as the one who did it to the Arcadia Community last time."

"Organization?"

Nodding, sensing Black Chastity's confusion, Hydra explained, "Could have guessed, couldn't you? How could the Arcadian Community, which clearly had interactions of interest with higher-level communities, and being one of the most famous communities in human history, be annihilated by a single Demon King all in one night? The rules of the Box Court do not restrict the Demon King from creating a community."

After a pause, Hydra shrugged her shoulders helplessly.

"That supposedly except that the Human Bureau is sealed off to unkillable three-digit broken human final trials, and even two-digit final trials like the White Nightmare are subject to the same restrictions. And the existence of the Demon King was a huge threat to the Locked Community of the Box Court no matter how you thought about it. After losing the great enemy of the Final Trials, it was conceivable that the next target of the Box Court's top brass should be the so-called Demon King. For the sake of self-preservation, it was understandable that they would form a community with a Demon King in it, wasn't it? After all, in the natural world anyway, even a tiger encountering a pack of wolves has to be temporarily avoided. Cuddling is also the only reason as well as the way for that group of so-called demons to continue to survive in the Box Court."

As he said that, Hydra came to a dark little corner, pushed open the somewhat dark and super damp wooden door, and Hydra walked straight in.

Initially extremely narrow, only to pass people. Resuming dozens of steps, it was wide open.

"This is..."

"Black market."

Hydra said bluntly.

"It's normal, isn't it? The more prosperous the city, the higher the chances of a black market, right? Especially in a place like the Box Court where even favors can be traded."

After a pause, Black Chastity shook her head.

"You're mistaken, I was just asking how you knew there was a black market here..."

........

The book will finish around 800,000 to 1,000,000 words. It's over 600,000 words now, and I expect it will be over after this winter break....

There will be one more volume of epilogue after the conclusion of the Problem Children volume.

The main volume returns to end with the fall of Greek mythology.

Ticket begging....

Volume 2: Extra - 33 - Al-Sauce has seen it all.

The black market, the existence of such a thing even if the top management of a city knew about it would normally turn a blind eye.

For no other reason, no matter from that perspective, the existence of the black market could be quite a propulsive effect for a city.

"What are you doing here?"

Looking at the black market in front of him, Black Chastity's expression was filled with confusion. Because as far as Black Chastity knew, the current Hydra and herself had absolutely no need to procure anything from the black market. In terms of Enchantment alone, Hydra was all in the first echelon among the Box Courts, and although its strength could only be ranked in the second echelon, relying on the peculiarities of the Simulation Star Creation Map, Hydra's actual combat power was definitely above the second echelon.

This was unquestionable.

And Black Chastity's gift other than to say, just the Dragon's Witch buff is the guest of the three strongest races in the Box Court pure blood dragon race. And the Flame of Vengeance has a non-negligible role in the versatility of the last world, and can even play an early warning effect.

Although strength could only be considered as a middle tier in the Box Court, strength was something that could not be traded....

"It's not about buying favors, it's about buying information."

"Intelligence?"

Nodding, Hydra spoke softly.

"Well, no matter where it is, the black market's intelligence is always the most accurate. The merchants of the black market have and own network with their customers, and if a particular merchant's information is wrong, it's a matter of breaking their own plaque."

As she spoke, Hydra's lip line quirked slightly. Then, into a slightly gloomy hut.
