Evergreen is the eternal green color.
Changqing City is a city that loves nature and has flowers blooming all year round.
The reason why this city is known as one of the most prosperous cities in the Kanto region is because of the Tokiwa Forest next to it.
The various rare resources and rare elves in the boundless green sea attract countless adventurers to come and explore.
It is known as one of the three must-visit adventure attractions in the Kanto area. It is juxtaposed with Hualan Cave and Mount Tsukimi, which is enough to see its gold content.
Regardless of whether someone risks breaking the law to capture and sell precious elves, the benefits brought by just collecting the rare medicinal materials in Viridian Forest are enough to make people jealous.
At this moment, on Route 1, a man, a woman, a beautiful woman and a boy were walking side by side.
"Mrs. Sanju, can I really walk in the city with my status?" Kuroyu asked with worry on his face.
After all, he is a gangster, and Changqing City is not one of those small towns. He has heard about the terror of the Junsha family there.
Mrs. Sanju glanced at the big king swallow that was hovering in the sky, always alert to its surroundings and protecting them.
"Don't worry, Little Black Feather. As my apprentice, I will naturally solve the problem of your identity." Mrs. Sanju swayed, her tone full of confidence.
The two of them walked on Road No. 1 in the wild, but in the end they did not enter Changqing City. Instead, they turned around and plunged into the forest.
"Mrs. Sanju, what is this?"
I saw the other party unfolding two folded small black squares, and they turned out to be two big black robes!
Black Feather put on a concealing black robe and followed Mrs. Sanju without saying a word.
Finally, the two of them slowly walked into a huge tree hole, and there was a strange cave inside.
After walking through a pitch-black passage, a noisy atmosphere of fireworks hit my face.
Black Feather couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He had been on the sea for a year and hadn't seen this scene for an unknown amount of time.
black market!
As the name suggests, it is a market hidden in the dark.
It is not officially recognized by the alliance. After all, the alliance's laws clearly prohibit the sale of elves, including elf eggs.
If you want to buy it, you can only go to the breeding house with the alliance seal.
But in this world, there are always people who take great risks to make huge profits, so the black market came into being.
Gradually, there are more and more black markets, and the scale is naturally getting larger and larger, forming an industrial chain and turning it into a dark area of illegality.
Although the Alliance does not support it, it also acquiesces to its existence. After all, there must always be a glimmer of hope for the people at the bottom, and the Alliance does not want to force everyone to rebel.
But the more important reason is that the benefits of the black market are so great that even some senior officials within the alliance are involved and share the benefits.
"This is a black market. Try to speak as little as possible to prevent others from trying to trick you. People who can get through in the black market are all cunning and cunning, and flaws will often be exposed if you don't pay attention."
Mrs. Sanju walked in front, quietly imparting experience to Darian voss behind her, really treating him as an apprentice, teaching him everything she had.
The entire black market is divided into two areas, namely the stall area and the commercial street.
The former seemed very lively and noisy. Almost more than half of the people were like Kuroyu, wearing black robes to cover themselves completely.
But there is an elf following everyone, showing a fierce look from time to time, intimidating others.
Few people walk without an elf, because if you do, others will think you are weak and can be bullied.
As the two of them were walking, Black Feather saw a strong man provoking a man without an elf beside him. Just when the people watching the excitement thought that the man was going to die.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually released a Nidoking, killing the big man and his elves on the spot.
"Sure enough, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Nido King must be at least level 30." Black Feather sighed in his heart.
Although he vented his anger and killed the provocative man, as expected, the man was taken away by the law enforcement team sent by the person in charge of the black market.
That person didn't resist and just followed me obediently?
Just when Kuroba was wondering how the person behind the black market should deal with that person.
"The person only needs to pay a fine and leave. Although there is a certain order in the black market, interests come first after all."
Mrs. Sanju's words taught Kuroyu another lesson.
Next to Black Feather and Mrs. Sanju, there was a big king swallow, which was Mrs. Sanju's elf.
Because of this, the two of them lived in harmony along the way. After all, in the black market, no one was willing to actively make enemies for no reason.
"Elf eggs for sale, elf eggs for sale, 50,000 each." A stall owner was shouting.
After asking for Mrs. Sanju's consent, Kuroba stepped forward.
I saw elf eggs of the same color placed in front of the stall, with more than 30 in total.
More and more onlookers came closer, so someone couldn't help but ask: "What kind of elves are these elf eggs?"
"They are all Spitfires. The price is the same on the black market. No counter-offer for 50,000 each." The stall owner said concisely and to the point.
Black Feather felt a little uncomfortable being squeezed by the people around him, so he hurriedly exited. Mrs. Sanju on the side said: "They are all Spearow eggs. It seems that this person has led a group."
Although Darian voss was surprised by the stall owner's strength, what puzzled him even more was why such an ordinary elf egg could be sold for 50,000 alliance coins. The price was a bit high.
"This is not surprising. Although the upper limit of the Spearow is ordinary, its evolution cycle is short. It can become a Great Beak at level 20. It is a very good flying elf."
"Therefore, many people will cultivate one and use it as a flying tool. They do not need to sell it later and will not lose too much." Mrs. Sanju patiently explained to Kuroba's apprentice.
Black Feather looked at the crowded crowd. Many people had already paid for and took away the elf eggs. They looked calm on the surface, but felt a little envious in their hearts.
Soaring in the sky has always been a human dream.
He is no exception. Having a flying elf as a mount or scout pet is also very good for him who has been drifting at sea for many years.
"Want it? Then buy one." Mrs. Sanju noticed Kuroyu's envy and said.
But this makes Kuroyu a little embarrassed. After all, his savings are only about 10,000 alliance coins.
This is the money he earns every day doing handyman work for those pirate sailors. The newcomers in the same period were even more miserable, with 80% of them not having a single word on their bodies.
Mrs. Sanju seemed to notice Kuroyu's embarrassment and chuckled: "Go and pick one, I'll pay for it for you."
"Ah, is this okay?"
On the surface, Darian voss was a little flattered, but his heart was already filled with excitement. His eyes hidden under the black robe unconsciously drifted towards the elf eggs on the stall.
"I came to the black market this time just to buy things for you. As my apprentice, I won't treat you badly."
Mrs. Sanju whispered beside Kuroba in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Darian voss finally stepped forward to choose one, and paid an extra 5,000 alliance coins to get a cheap incubator.
Purchasing a Spearow that can be seen everywhere with 50,000 Alliance Coins may seem like a bit of a loss, but you must know that the Spearow is a grumpy and gregarious elf.
I wonder if an ordinary trainer can defeat this grumpy group with several large-billed finches and hundreds of spearfinches?
It is not easy to catch Spearow in the wild alone.
This also reflects the strength of the stall owner. He can take down a small group of people alone, and he is still a bad-tempered Spearow. It can be seen that the stall owner is definitely a strong trainer.
Moreover, this kind of wild spirit has not lost its wildness, and it is not easy to tame it. It is necessary to prevent the spirit from backlash at any time. In contrast, it is much safer to cultivate it from an early age.
What's more, with this kind of blind-box egg betting, maybe you might be lucky enough to get a Spearow with excellent qualifications and genetic skills?
Afterwards, the two hurriedly visited the stall area and came to a commercial street.
Compared to the noisy environment before, this place seemed a bit deserted, with very few people coming in and out of the store.
But the people who come in and out are undoubtedly more high-end, and the elves around them are almost at an average level above level 30, which is very powerful.
"Come with me, this time we will completely solve your black household problem." Mrs. Mehta led Kuroyu into a deserted shop.
The store was in a mess, with spider webs forming in the corners and dust falling in the air.
There was an old man with a white beard in front of the counter, lying on a chair leisurely.
Mrs. Mehta walked up to the counter and knocked.
"Just take whatever you want, the price is marked on it."
After the old man finished speaking, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep, without any appearance of doing business.
Mrs. Sanju was not angry, she just smiled and said, "Take me to the second floor."
After the words fell, the old man was suddenly startled. He no longer looked so leisurely, but respectfully led the person to the second floor.
After a long time, Kuroyu and Mrs. Sanju left the shop.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy to get an identity." Kuroyu sighed.
The card in his hand that represented his identity card clearly had the word "Black Feather" on it. From today on, he was finally an official alliance resident.
Mrs. Sanju heard Kuroba's sigh and said: "People within the alliance can also do business in the black market. The owner behind this shop is probably a high-level figure in the population department of the alliance."
Glancing at Kuroyu who was a little happy, Mrs. Sanju admonished appropriately: "Although this identity allows you to walk openly in the city, if you encounter some high-level figures or investigations from the gym, you still can't hide it. Live."
Black Feather's joyful mood cooled down.
"But even so, it's enough."
Immediately afterwards, Black Feather followed Mrs. Sanju to sell a large amount of supplies, including most water-type elves and various precious medicinal materials that could only be obtained at sea.
Taking advantage of the differences between the two regions to resell materials and spirits, the Hoenn region has many water sources and vast sea areas.
The Kanto region is exactly the opposite.
Before leaving the black market, Mrs. Sanju also bought an Elf Illustrated Book for Black Feather at a certain stall.
"Although this illustrated book is not the latest model, it is still the third generation illustrated book. It has most of the functions."
Black Feather bowed gratefully to Mrs. Sanju again.
...…
Evergreen City.
"Mrs. Sanju actually lets me move freely like this, and you're not afraid of me running away?"
Although he thought so, Darian voss had no intention of running away. He had so many things in his opponent's hands.
What's more, even if you run away, it will be difficult for you to have room for advancement as an ordinary resident. Instead, following Mrs. Sanju, you may have the opportunity to become a breeder in the future.
After these days of study, he also understood the identity of a cultivator. Even a junior cultivator can gain a considerable social status.
Black Feather walked alone in the city, feeling the atmosphere of fireworks. The long-lost relaxation made him feel as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him.
Various advertisements are broadcast on the tall buildings nearby, including new energy cubes and new wilderness survival suits.
"Gee, this space backpack is really expensive. The most common basic model costs 20,000 alliance coins!"
Such an expensive price completely extinguished the flame of Kuroyu's heart.
Black Feather finally came to an elf center and planned to rest here for a night.
"Good afternoon, Miss Joy!"
Kuroyu showed no signs of stage fright as a pirate, but instead greeted him openly.
"Good afternoon, trainer, what business do you want to handle?" Miss Joy, who is wearing a beautiful nurse uniform, always has a professional smile on her face.
The gentle temperament exudes makes people feel like a spring breeze.
"Hello, I just arrived in the Kanto area, so I came to register." Kuroba said very politely.
It's not that he is very polite, it's that the status of Miss Joy and the Joy family behind her is too special in the alliance.
As two huge families that will never collapse in the alliance, the Joey and Junsha families have terrifying power in the alliance. One has a monopoly on medical care and the other has a monopoly on police services.
It can be said without hesitation that as long as you are active in the region, you will inevitably have to deal with these two families.
Even as for your information, the first thing to know is not the official database of the alliance, but the databases of these two families.
Therefore, these two families can give priority to discovering talented trainers, and then win over the talents through a series of actions such as marrying into the family and becoming a disciple.
"But there's probably nothing we can do about it. After all, Joey and the Junsha family can only have girls."
Due to the special nature of these two families, the dream of countless people is to get married.
And having a wife who looks like Joey or Junsha is the dream of countless men.
"You are applying for a pass for the Kanto area. The period is three years. Remember to apply for a replacement when the time is up."
Miss Joy's tone was still gentle.
Although he won't stay in the Kanto area for long, no matter where he goes, it is always very troublesome without a pass.
Black Feather spent another 200 alliance coins to rent a room at the Elf Center for the night.
"Well, after all, I am just an ordinary resident. If I am a direct trainer of the alliance, I can get free treatment and residence in the elf center."
Kuroyu looked at the small room, lay down directly on the bed, and his thoughts began to drift away.
Changqing City, where he is located, is only ranked 11th in the Kanto region, which is still a little behind ancient cities such as Nibi City and Hualan City.
The ranking of 11 is still due to the Evergreen Gym Leader who claims that as long as he stands on the earth, he will never fail.
Relying on super popularity to forcefully drive the economy.
It is worth mentioning that the actual person in charge of Changqing City, where he is currently located, is the mayor who was jointly elected by the gym master Ban Mu and the citizens.
Every city in this world is independent. The alliance only has the right to advise and supervise, but it does not have the direct right to order the city to take certain actions.
"Because of this, the local aristocratic families and various high-level officials will monopolize the upward channels and resources."
Black Feather thought in his heart.
It is worth mentioning that the current president of the alliance, President Dama Lanqi, is said to have been born as a commoner in his early years.
He is also a representative of the reformists within the alliance. Unfortunately, due to this system, reforms have been repeatedly blocked.
Early the next morning, Black Feather left the Elf Center after eating breakfast, and bought a lot of daily necessities before leaving.
For example, a certain kind of fruit wine that I like to drink, and a lot of books to pass the time.
Of course, it's not romance novels, but things that are helpful for cultivators to learn.
"Encyclopedia of Trees and Fruits"
"Sea Drift"
"Customs and customs of the Kanto region"
After spending a lot of money, his money dropped to 3,000 alliance coins again.
