Start with the Wizarding World

Chapter 63 Dark, it’s so dark!

"Understood." Abel immediately responded in his mind.

He knew that Rorschach didn't want to attract too much attention, and his daily habits would undoubtedly cause some trouble to Rorschach, which was why he gave him special instructions.

It's just a matter of temporarily restraining the habit, which is naturally not difficult for him.

Especially since this was Rorschach's order, he had to get used to it even if he was not used to it.

Soon, the two entered the block where the Shadow Market was located, and it was indeed as mixed as Abel said.

Most people were dressed similarly to them, either covering themselves with cloaks or wearing masks or hoods.

However, this scene was extremely funny to Rorschach.

Because all these various disguises are completely meaningless in front of him, or in other words, in front of the True Prison Eye, they can't escape being seen.

No matter how they disguised themselves, when Rorschach looked over, all he saw was their clear identity information.

This strong contrast made Rorschach look a little strange.

Fortunately, he was also wearing a mask, so no one could see his reaction underneath the mask.

"My goodness, no wonder Shadow Market can't be destroyed no matter how hard we try. It would be strange if it can be destroyed." The deeper Rorschach went into Shadow Market, the more speechless he became.

Because he saw a lot of "official personnel".

The official here refers to the organizers of the Shadow Market, who will charge a 30% commission on every transaction here.

This is why they have been tirelessly holding shadow markets in various places in the Gray Domain every now and then. They rely on the high profits, and in addition to being responsible for organization, they must also maintain order.

It is impossible that someone brings something to trade, but it is snatched away as soon as they take it out. Who would dare to trade in the Shadow Market in the future?
Therefore, the organizers usually send people to patrol the Shadow Market, and there will also be special masters to support the team.

The purpose is to prevent anyone from causing trouble and to make it easier to suppress it immediately.

What made Rorschach speechless was not the fact that there were people patrolling, but the fact that many of these patrollers were from the Pound family, which was outrageous.

Of course, judging from the composition of these official personnel, Rorschach did not think that the Pound family was the mastermind behind Shadow Market.

It should be the real mastermind behind this who teamed up with the Pound family to hold this three-day shadow market in the mountain capital.

If this is the case, Rorschach reasonably inferred that the mastermind behind the scenes should be referring to this model when holding shadow markets in various places.

Just find the one with the biggest power in the local area to be your partner, and then distribute the profits according to the agreed ratio.

Just like this time, the entire mountain capital is the territory of the Pound family, and even they themselves have joined the game, who dares to overturn the table?

Even if it is discovered and reported, it will be nothing more than a drama of "Who is kneeling in the hall and why is he suing me?"

This is simply not too safe, okay?

"Dark, it's so dark!"

Rorschach had to admit that he had been taught another lesson.

However, he had no intention of discussing these matters with Abel. Since it concerned the True Prison Eye, he could just watch the fun by himself. It was none of his business anyway.

"My Lord, this way."

Abel's voice sounded in Rorschach's mind at this time, and Abel himself took the lead in leading Rorschach and turned into an alley.

Luo Xia immediately followed with Ah Dai in hand.

After passing through a long corridor, the two turned several more corners until they finally appeared outside a small building that looked a bit run-down. At this time, someone was already walking towards them, warning:
"It's a private party. Anyone not involved please leave immediately!"

Rorschach was not surprised by this, because Abel had already told him the common procedures and taught him how to do it.

So, the two of them stepped forward and whispered in the man's ear in their respective native languages: "Seven Colors Salon——"

After hearing this, the man immediately stepped aside and gestured to the two of them to come in, and asked Rorschach:

"Does your mount need attention?"

"No need, just let him play here by himself." Luo Xia shook his head, patted Ah Dai's head and said to him, "Just wait here for me to come out, you can walk around freely, just don't run too far."

"Stay~~~"

Ah Dai probably understood what Rorschach meant and responded.

Its IQ is probably similar to that of the sheepdogs on the Blue Water Planet, so it should have no problem understanding some simple commands.

Seeing this, the man didn't ask any more questions and continued to be on guard.

After entering the small building.

Abel said to Rorschach in his mind, "If I'm not mistaken, the person who convened the Seven Color Salon this time should be someone from the Wings of Freedom."

"Why do you think so?" Rorschach asked.

"There is a blue pattern across the door beam above the door we just came in. That is the symbolic color of the Wings of Liberty," said Abel.

At this point, he further explained to Rorschach that the seven colors in the Seven Color Salon refer to the seven corresponding symbolic colors.

Just like red represents the Great Flame and blue represents the Golden Eagle, cyan is the symbolic color of the Freedom Alliance, and its corresponding color among the seven major colors is the Wings of Liberty.

"I see." Rorschach understood and then joked, "In that case, this convener might be an old acquaintance of yours?"

"That's indeed a possibility," Abel said without hesitation.

The headquarters of the Gentlemen's Club is in the Freedom Alliance, and it has close ties with the Wings of Liberty. As the third gentleman of the Gentlemen's Club, Abel has naturally had many dealings with the Wings of Liberty.

If the Seven Colors Salon was indeed convened by the people from Wings of Freedom, then it would be normal for the convener to be someone he knew, and the probability is not low.

While chatting, the two had already arrived at the lobby on the first floor.

There was a very large round table in the center of the hall, and there were about twenty chairs surrounding the table. Almost half of the seats were occupied, obviously the replacers who had arrived before them.

Sitting on the main seat facing the door was a figure wearing a green mask. Seeing the two people coming in, he took the initiative to greet them:

"Please take a seat, both of you. If no one else comes, we will be ready to start."

Rorschach and Abel nodded, and immediately found two adjacent seats and sat down. In front of Rorschach, the message from the man in the blue mask appeared:

「Name: Duke Pound (Perez Brazo)」

"Race: Humanity, Descendant of the Earth Dragon"

"Ability: Dragon Mysticism Lv.3"

"Hint 1: On the Blue Water Star, he is one of the eight-winged envoys of the Wings of Freedom, second only to the Ten-winged Lord. In the Gray Region, he is also a member of the Pound family, one of the four original blood families of the Storm Empire. Although he is only a side branch, he has a lot of say with his silver-level strength."

"Hint 2: As a fellow swapper, he landed in bronze. So, are you lucky?"
