Back at the heroes' temporary base, An Yi dumped a small, heavy bag of magical items onto the table.
The heroes all curiously gathered around to take a look.
"An Yi, what are all these things?"
At the table, Lycorina looked at Annie with a puzzled expression and asked.
“These…are all jewelry? No, some of them don’t seem like jewelry either.” With blond hair and a golden beard, the burly Lion Warrior Xingu picked up one of the magical items.
An Yi had no intention of keeping them in suspense: "These are all tools used to conceal magic power, which can deceive the demons' organs that sense magic power."
After the words fell, the scene fell into silence.
Finally, Seitz, the Halberd Hero, broke the silence. He stared wide-eyed, held up a finger, and pointed at the props on the table with disbelief.
"These...are all of them?"
“Yes.” An Yi nodded.
"This is too much! How long have you been gone?!" Star Warrior Shino shouted from the side.
"May I choose one?" The pure white Sky Warrior, Lan, smiled and looked at An Yi, appearing very interested.
“Let each of you heroes with high magical power choose one,” Annie said.
Before anyone else could react, Lan quickly walked up and picked up a blue "flower" headdress.
I don't know what kind of crystal or gemstone it's made of, but it looks exceptionally beautiful.
“Ah! I want this too!” Shi Nuo exclaimed from the side.
Lan tucked the headdress into her cloak and said with a smile, "First come, first served."
"Haha—then I'll pick first!" The Sun Warrior Seller laughed as he walked to the table, and he also immediately took a liking to what he wanted.
"If you don't pick one now, it'll be gone!" Apollo, the Moon Warrior, stepped forward as well.
"Wait!!" Shi Nuo exclaimed anxiously.
Although they said it was first come, first served, the brave warriors didn't actually fight over it.
Since most of the items were jewelry, the male heroes were quite casual and let the female heroes choose first, then they took the rest.
However, Lycorina did not go up to take it.
"Aren't you going to pick one out?" Annie asked from the side.
Licorina didn't answer immediately, but instead pulled An'i's shoulder to make him turn his ear down, and then whispered in his ear;
"We don't have enough...!"
On the other side, the Demon Warrior Rox also realized this, so she simply sat aside without making a sound.
Soon, the heroes had distributed all the magical items.
But after thinking about it more carefully, I felt that something was not right.
It seems we haven't obtained the [Demon Hero] and [Holy Hero], who have extremely high magic attributes in the team yet?
Before any words of courtesy could be heard from the group, An Yi suddenly spoke up;
"It's okay, I'll buy more tomorrow if it's not enough."
“Oooooohh ...
The Sword Hero is so reliable!!
An Yi never intended to finish it in one day. Since she already knew the location of the black market, if she couldn't finish it today, she could go again tomorrow.
The next day, Annie took Lycorina out early.
Those who went together at the same time also included Mi Lu Ke.
I'm about to leave the city, so if possible, I'll try to take as many things as possible with me.
What if the magical item you found turns out to be very useful later?
To make things easier, Lan lent Lycorina the magical item she had chosen.
Lycorina discovered that the blue flower headdress only worked when it was worn on her head.
Furthermore, a system prompt will appear when it is worn on the head.
【Equipment Item: Blue Flower (★ Normal)】
Item effect: [Hidden Magic I]
"Ⅰ" refers to Level 1, and above that there are "Ⅱ", "Ⅲ" and so on.
This most basic magical item is actually insufficient to completely conceal Lycorina's magic.
Even with it on, she stood out from the crowd of demons, who avoided her like the plague.
But that's only at the level of an "ordinary expert".
You should know that when she's not wearing any magical items, she's a "human catastrophe" the moment she walks down the street.
Even a slightly weaker demon could be so frightened that it would faint.
At least now it's enough to frighten other demons, not to scare a large number of them.
It was precisely because the magic was hidden that it did not attract the lord's attention.
In fact, there is no one else in the city with such a level of magic, but as long as it is not too exaggerated, it will not cause trouble for the lord.
In fact, Lycorina and Milu were already quite familiar with this city, but today Annie was taking them on a completely different route than before.
Following An Yi, we walked from one urban area to another.
This area is no longer within the range of the heroes. Even Milu only briefly explored it.
For Miluko, memorizing the routes throughout the city in detail is of utmost importance.
However, there's no need to be so meticulous as to remember every single alley in the entire city.
In her own mind, the city's investigations also had different priorities.
No matter how fast she is, she has to use her speed where it's needed.
She certainly wouldn't investigate places like this, which the heroes have never been to and would never come to.
but……
She missed out on this crucial piece of information: magical items are for sale here!
Disqualified!
The brave man is disqualified!
Milu followed behind An and Lycorina in a daze, inwardly condemning her mistake.
"We've arrived. This is the entrance to the black market."
At this moment, An Yi stopped in front of a demon tavern.
Milu immediately snapped out of her daze and looked around the tavern in front of her.
The doors were wide open, and the hall, designed to accommodate large demons, appeared to them like a giant meeting hall.
A thought flashed through Milu's mind.
"Could it be...!"
Could it be that all transactions are conducted with a specific person in the tavern?!
If that's the case, there's nothing she can do if she can't find out.
If it's something like a market or shopping street, and she couldn't find it, that would be purely her fault.
Thinking of this, Milu felt a little relieved.
The three entered the tavern, but An Yi did not stop there. Instead, she walked straight ahead.
The further she walked, the more anxious Milu became.
Is it really in a tavern?
That doesn't seem right! Why didn't Mr. An Yi go to find the demons?
But there's no way out! Where else could it be but a tavern?
Wait a minute, how come we've passed so many demons and still haven't made any trade with any of them?
No! No, no, no! Oh, right, right. Oops! No! No, no, no! No, what is it right about... Oh! Right, right, right!
An Yi was completely unaware that Mi Lu was lost in thought behind her, and eventually walked to the kitchen door at the far end of the tavern.
This time, the one who opened the door was not the eight-armed demon from yesterday, but a tall demon with sharp teeth, four limbs, and bulging muscles.
It clearly couldn't muster a smile, but it still respectfully helped An Yi and the other two open the door.
The three entered the kitchen and continued walking forward.
Lycorina asked in a soft, surprised voice beside Anie, "Does it recognize you?"
As expected of An Yi, she's become quite well-known in the black market in just one day!
An Yi: "I don't know him."
Lycorina: "...Then, why does it seem like it knows you very well?"
Annie: "The customer is king."
Lycorina: "What is God?"
An Yi: "It is God."
Lycorina: "I don't think those demons outside are Gods..."
Annie: "I didn't say they were."
Lycorina: "Didn't you just say the customer is king?"
Mi Lu didn't say anything after that, but she roughly knew why the other person had taken the initiative to open the door to greet her.
Having come this far, Milu realized that this might be the hidden entrance to the black market.
Regular tavern customers don't head straight for the kitchen; only those going to the black market do.
