The Black Valley Tribe is hidden in a valley ten miles northeast of Leonton City.

The entrance is a long and narrow pass, five meters wide and three kilometers long.

There are always five to six junior third-level magicians on duty at the entrance, and it is surrounded by cliffs of red rocks that are nearly a hundred meters high.

The only ground access to the Black Valley Tribe is through the Xichang Pass. If someone flies over, the tamed demonic vultures circling in the sky can directly contact the beast tamer.

The Black Valley Tribe is hidden in a sinkhole with a diameter of 400 meters. There are also junior third-level magicians on duty around the sinkhole, mainly to prevent monsters from appearing around, and secondly to prevent sneak attacks.

At noon, Isabella and Alvin followed Higanbana's carriage to the Black Valley Tribe. The distance was not far and it would take only half an hour for the carriage to arrive after leaving the city.

Isabella discovered that on the mountain road leading to the Black Valley Tribe, she would always encounter some junior second-level magicians. They disguised themselves as nearby residents, and some were nearby bandits. They seemed to be deliberately guarding this road.

There were no signs of any monsters approaching, or perhaps they were simply too bored and had killed all the monsters nearby.

"I'll take you to see that place. Ordinary people can't get in," said Higanbana calmly. "The Black Valley tribe has many people and there are people from all kinds of forces inside. The most popular thing inside is boxing. They have a kind of ring that directly blocks the flow of magic from the source of magic. Once you get on the ring, you are equivalent to an ordinary person. Even high-level magicians find it difficult to mobilize the source of magic on the ring."

Isabella was actually a little curious that in this magical world, there could be things that could block magic.

When they reached the edge of the sinkhole, Isabella felt a little unbelievable at the spaciousness inside. There were many ordinary three-story houses built around the bottom of the sinkhole. In the middle of the Black Valley tribe was a small tower similar to a bunker with six floors. The small tower covered a large area and was also where the arena was located.

Tamed demonized vultures were circling in the sky, there were even houses built on the cliffs of the cenote, and four griffins were waiting for the monster lunch prepared by the knights.

The armed capabilities here are almost comparable to those of the city guards of Leonton!

Isabella even found it very strange. There were so many forces and armed capabilities in this place. Didn't the city guards of Leonton know about it?

"Higanbana," Isabella asked directly, "Isn't there a city guard or a knight order to manage this place?"

Higanbana looked at the half-elf girl in front of her with a puzzled look and smiled: "You don't know that this place actually belongs to Earl Jialai's territory. He said it was a mine, but secretly he acquiesced to these forces gathering here. This place also enriched his pockets. Otherwise, how could his mansion be so luxurious now."

After hearing this, Isabella felt mixed emotions. She had never expected that Count Jialai was able to play both black and white.

No wonder, at his birthday party, he saw many nobles and gentry, the so-called upper-class elites from all sides. It turned out that they were all from this small town and were all related to Earl Jialai. No one broke the window paper. They all wanted to make money, but Earl Jialai was the big banker.

The carriage arrived at the arena. After several people got off the carriage, they were greeted by a magic warrior who was guarding the gate.

After entering the arena, Isabella discovered that the magic element here was even rarer than outside, as if there was something inside that could repel the magic element...

Erwin had been following Isabella, and he was always silent today.

Isabella didn't know the reason, and she didn't ask, but he suddenly dropped from the intermediate second level magic strength to the intermediate level magic strength. This was the first time she had encountered such a thing. Without any guesswork, she suspected that the reason for his depression was related to the drop in strength...

But there was always a red spider lily standing next to her, so Isabella could only hold back and not ask.

When we got near the ring, we saw a circle of stepped spectator seats surrounding it, which was three stories high and could accommodate a thousand people at a time.

The daily competitions are held late at night, so there are not many people around when we arrive here.

Higanbana kept walking in front, heading upstairs...

The ring was a huge piece of smoothly cut black rock, with irregular edges and a huge iron cage surrounding it...

Isabella looked at the environment here for a long time and couldn't imagine what the scene would be like at night.

Alvin also saw the large arena made of mysterious black stone below. He now regretted coming to this place, but he firmly believed that he had the protection of the Holy Envoy, and even if he was beaten badly, he would not die easily.

"I know the leader of the Black Valley Tribe," said Higanbana. "He used to be a palace magic guard. Later, a magic assassin appeared in the kingdom, but he failed to stop him. He was crippled in the left eye and right foot by the magic assassin. Fifteen years ago, he came back and won over Earl Jialai to build the current Black Valley Tribe here..."

“How does this place make money?”

Isabella asked, if this place is just for boxing, wouldn’t it be too monotonous?

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden? I don't have to give you an answer. Anyway, you will know it soon."

She said this with a strange smile on her face.

Higanbana met the leader of Heigu in the lobby at the top of the floor.

He is a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. He wears a black eye patch because he is missing his left eye, and he uses a wooden prosthesis for his missing right leg.

The only one who negotiated with the leader of Black Valley was Higanbana, leaving Isabella and Erwin aside.

They sat at a tea table behind another cubicle, about ten meters away, and spoke in low voices.

Isabella could hear what they were saying and signaled Erwin to be quiet.

"…What? You have no one available in the Flower of Sin? Bring two children to my place?"

"Don't get me wrong. That half-elf is the defector that the All-Seeing Eye has been searching for. Higindor has now joined our Flower of Sin, and the boy next to her will be your cash cow for the next three days."

The Black Valley leader looked at Erwin with a deep gaze.

"Hickindale... If I can, I'll be lucky..."

"As for Erwin, can he take a beating? If he gets beaten to death, I won't be responsible! Death is a common thing here. Besides, he is young and weak, so he can't fight many battles!"

After saying that, his attitude clearly showed that he didn't want to fight with Erwin.

"It's the same old routine. Go after your guy first, let him win two games, and then make him lose two games later... I guess he'll behave himself after tonight's fight. He's a cash cow anyway. This guy is young, so he's worth watching."

"it is good……"

The leader of Black Valley agreed to let Erwin participate in the evening game.

Isabella didn't understand what they were saying, but what they just communicated was obviously an intentional attempt to manipulate the outcome of the game. But a young man like Alvin might just think that he could get more money by winning all the time.

Isabella looked at the two men coming, then turned to Erwin and said, "If you want to make money, just obey their orders. I'm here to collect other interesting intelligence. At night, many people from various forces will come here. Try to delay more time..."

"Elvin," said the leader of the Black Valley, "why don't you stay here now? I'll prepare some equipment for you for the night's game."

Higanbana said softly to Isabella, "When night comes, remember to go to the ring and encourage Erwin. If there are many people at night, it won't be a problem for you to earn more than 500 silver coins at a time."

"I'm going to announce the new contestants for tonight's competition..." said the Black Valley leader, "Erwin, come with me..."

Isabella nodded to Erwin and motioned for him to follow...

"I have something to say now. If you have anything to say, I'll come back here at night and talk to you."

Isabella opened a gap in space.

"As expected of you, this place has such a strong magic suppression ability, but you can still easily open the space magic. Things have been done for you, but I have to remind you that this guy is Earl Jialai's man..."

Isabella ignored it, entered the space gap, and returned to her room.

But after returning to the room, I had to savor what Higanbana had just said...

The arena will isolate the source of magic power...

Even though being close to the ring would reduce the flow of mana...

But what is the deep meaning behind the mention of Earl of Jialai?

Isabella couldn't figure out the reason, and always had an indescribable strange feeling.
