Chapter 209: The Black Market

Audrey quickly rejected this idea.

Seeing that they were drinking happily, Audrey, who did not have any feelings for alcohol, found an excuse and left the table.

After all, to her, this kind of thing was meaningless. She could just use this time to do something more useful to herself.

After Audrey left, Klein looked at her disappearing figure at the door. After a moment of silence, he picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it in one gulp.

He increasingly felt that Audrey was an unfathomable figure.

Although he had discovered that she might not be the noble lady he had imagined when he first came into contact with her, the development of things had clearly exceeded his expectations.

There were simply too many mysteries surrounding her, including the mysterious man from yesterday. A person of that level was clearly not someone they could come into contact with.

Klein began to suspect that Audrey was hiding something important from them.

“Klein, she’s been gone for such a long time. Why can’t you take your gaze back?” Cole smiled and said, “Why? Did that beautiful lady seduce your soul away?”

Klein rolled his eyes at him. “What nonsense are you spouting? Audrey is just a very ordinary friend of mine. There’s nothing between us.”

Hobart snorted in displeasure. “What do you mean there’s nothing? Do you really think that we’re all blind? Your eyes are already glued to her body, yet you’re still trying to defend yourself.”

“That’s right. If you like her, why don’t you just admit it? Why do you have to act as if you aren’t in love with her?” Cole teased.

Klein placed his wine glass on the table. “Stop talking nonsense. If you continue talking nonsense, I will really get angry.”

The crowd then changed the topic.

The black market they were talking about was actually not far from the Templar Knights. It was quite strange to say that such a formal place had many strange things.

All of them could never appear in the light.

Most importantly, they were not bound by any restrictions here. As long as they were willing, they could trade any item, including people. This could be said to be a lawless place.

Before Audrey entered, she had already gone to a nearby clothing store and changed into a set of plain clothes.

After all, her current status was too special. In addition, she was quite famous in the Templar Knights. It was very likely that someone would recognize her. It would be very inconvenient then.

There were quite a few hawkers around. They looked very formal, no different from a normal market. However, the things they placed on them made people feel a little afraid.

In some places, there were even a few cages where all kinds of young demon beasts were kept. The Demon Beasts hated such an environment and could not help but wail. However, the people who passed by did not show any mercy, they directly walked past them.

Audrey saw many people wearing the badge of the Templar Knights among the crowd. Obviously, they were from the same place as her.

That group of people was very eye-catching even among the crowd. From time to time, there would be people looking at them from the side, sizing them up.

Audrey raised her hand and pulled the brim of her hat, hiding in the darkness.

She wandered around for a while and soon found what she needed. That was because it was right on the surface.

“Come and have a look. I have all kinds of panaceas and elixirs here.” An old man waved the picture in his hand to attract customers.

Soon, he saw a skinny figure stop in front of his stall.

Audrey’s gaze swept across the pile of gorgeous herbs before finally stopping at an inconspicuous pile of weeds at the edge.

“Boss, how much is this one?” Audrey picked one out casually.

The boss glanced at it casually. “10 copper coins.”

So cheap? Audrey did not expect that the herbs she needed would be so cheap.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

“We have nothing to do, so why are we here? It’s really dirty. I hate this kind of environment.” A girl’s sweet voice sounded in her ear.

Audrey turned around and saw a familiar person.

Maggie had met her at the auction house a while ago, and they had a bad relationship.

They had thought that the matter would end like this, but they had not expected to meet again here.

Audrey sighed softly and lowered her head, trying her best not to let the other party recognize her. Otherwise, it would be a bloodbath.

Since they had come to a place like the black market, she thought that it was better to avoid trouble. However, with Maggie’s personality, if she recognized her, there would definitely be a commotion.

“You don’t understand, do you? All the good things are hidden in this place. Didn’t you want to make your skin better two days ago? You just want to buy some medicinal herbs and go back to find someone to make something for you,” Thomas said, his tone was full of indulgence.

Maggie opened her mouth excitedly. “Really?”
