The noise and prosperity behind him seemed to be far away. This sense of distance is very subtle, because the vendors selling all kinds of dangerous or rare or ordinary goods are less than 20 steps behind them. As long as they turn around and run, they can touch the faces of those businessmen in a few seconds. But this short distance seems to separate two worlds. The sound, light and shadow, and the temperature on the fire were all pulled away, leaving only the silent and gloomy road in front of us, as well as the cold lights scattered in front of the road, which showed a strange and strange scene.


    ATA gently tugged at the corner of the cheese, who nodded to the worried eyes behind her mask to indicate that she had noticed the change. There is no doubt that this anomaly comes from magic, and it is not the magic released by a single caster. The street itself is similar to the altar or array in some schools of magic. As long as the energy is supplied, it can continue to work. At the same time, this kind of structure is often expensive and precise, which is difficult for ordinary casters to afford. It is possible to create a silent area at such a high price, only because the transaction here exceeds the cost.


    "This section of road is called" black street "by most people. However, there are more than one section of similar streets. Therefore, black street is only a general term, not a specific street. The street itself has no name, and its location will change from time to time. Only a few people will be informed of the specific information about the relocation of the black street. Moreover, no one or group has ever publicly declared the ownership of the black street, and those who want to explore this matter often have no information. So I want to tell you in advance that you should not ask too much about this place, as long as you respect its existence. " Mrs. Theresa said to several people.


    "Yes, we remember." The cheese replied softly. Perhaps he saw ATAH''s uneasiness, or his confidence in his own ability. From the beginning of entering the black street, he and Mrs. Teresa were in parallel. ATA and Jianqi were separated in the position of the mage''s left and right behind, ready to attack at any time. The elves around didn''t say anything, but they still protected several people.


    "I''ve heard that there has recently been a new bustling place in the northeast, where witches and wolf walkers are stationed in cities built by dwarves. But most importantly, there is a wizard with his dragon as the Lord there. Therefore, I also want to go there and have a look. It''s just that the journey is too far and the business is too busy, so I can''t find time. " Snow white cat, like carelessly talking about the distant rumors.


    "It''s not as good as you said. Where there are people, there will be disputes. The more people there are, the more complicated the disputes will be. I''m afraid the news you''ve heard here is just the rumor of businessmen, which should not be true. " The hooded mage replied with a smile. It''s not surprising that the other party will know the origin of their party. It would be strange if a great man who was on the run and had the right to know the location of the black street could not find out such a trivial matter.


    Mrs. Theresa''s mouth always seemed to smile, as if everything would not go away from her expectations. "The reason for the dispute is that the distribution of interests is not satisfactory. What a good Lord can do is to transfer contradictions into contradictions and guide contradictions. Trying to reduce contradictions will also produce new ones. So he had to seek a balance between the contradictions, so that everyone would not be intensified. But in fact, even if he was a lord, he wanted to control all disputes perfectly. As long as the balance existed, it would be broken. This is why there is no kingdom that will not be destroyed. "


    "It sounds like you have a pessimistic view of the king system. So in your eyes, what kind of system can achieve the role of resolving contradictions? " Although cheese was a little surprised at each other''s topic, it was false to say that he was not interested at all. Anyway, there was still some distance from the stalls on the black street. Even if it was just for chatting, he also wanted to hear the views of the most important woman among the cat goblins.


    "The contradiction can not be reduced, because its source is everyone''s needs, food and drink, the opposite sex, clothing, shelter. If there is a need, there will be conflicts, and there will be endless conflicts." Although Ms. Theresa is not a human being, or even a creature belonging to this world, her observation of human society is longer and deeper than that of ordinary people. "So instead of suppressing these contradictions with the set of origins, honors or other things you use, it''s better to release them completely. People want a better life, why not? As long as they can pay the price. And the thing that can quantify these costs is money. "


    "Is this the way of the city?" The reason of cheese told him that what the other side said and what he saw had something to recommend. But on the other hand, he began to doubt whether the idea of measuring everything in terms of money really makes sense. Undeniably, it is very effective. But in this environment, chivalry and morality, the way of spirits and nature, they seem to have no place.


    "Yes, that''s part of its rules. Now that you''re at this card table called torrent, all the decisions you''re going to make, whether you want it or not, are in its shadow. No matter what you think of it, if you don''t want to turn the table over or leave it, you have to comply As she said this, her eyes drifted to ATA intentionally or unintentionally.


    The mage didn''t answer immediately. As the group approached the first stall, the conversation lost its environment. The owner of that stall is an old man. His clothes are simple but meticulous, even his goods are the same. Those goods are neatly placed in the wooden partition, under the cushion of cotton silk and other soft materials, three light red lights make those things look more ruddy. This is necessary, of course, because what he sells is meat in a certain sense, or, to be exact, a specific part, the hand.A TA subconsciously covered his mouth, sword seven and keiras made different degrees of disgust. It''s Ms. Theresa and other feline guardians who are not surprised. And cheese, he had been very interested to go to the hands, look up. As early as during his training, he had seen too many corpses of all kinds, and his medical knowledge was almost entirely based on his anatomical experience.


    "Look, it''s all good. Both collection and use are excellent. " The old man yelled softly. There was a strange tone in his voice, which made people feel very pleasant.


    "May I have a try?" Cheese turned to look at the old man with a faint magic light in his eyes, which made the latter smile. Even in the black street, there were few customers who knew the goods.


    "If you need a servant, I recommend this one. He is the hand of a gladiator. It is said that the Gladiator''s most famous skill is to scratch the skull of his opponent with his bare hands. It''s just a pity that his last opponent didn''t give him the chance to cut off his neck The old man pointed to an unusually wide and thick palm with some amazing scars on the back of the hand.


    Cheese nodded, the old man took the hand out of the lattice, put a ring on his ring finger, and took out another similar ring to the mage, "after mastering it, you can wear it on any finger, but at the beginning, I suggest you put it in the same position first."


    The grey robe looked at it a little to make sure there was no other spell on it, and then put the ring on the ring finger of his right hand. Next, his companions saw that as cheese clenched slightly, the broken hand also made a slight clench. When cheese simulates the palm of a hand crawling on a flat surface, the hand does move on the table.


    "How? With a little magic, you can get a helper. If you master it skillfully, you don''t need to move. This hand can follow your will. " Perhaps it is rare to meet people who have a propensity to buy. The old man has some gallant efforts to sell his terrifying goods. And cheese just silently took off the ring and put it back on the table.


    "Thank you, but I''m more used to doing things with my own hands."


    After saying goodbye to the stall, Jian Qi asked the cheese maker, "what kind of magic is that? How can you look at such an evil gate?"


    "It''s just a trick. It''s not about breaking the hand, it''s about the ring. If you wear that ring, the broken hand will be connected with your hand, but it will not be taken off after a long time. What he didn''t say is that dead people''s hands are always rotten. When they are rotten, your hands will also rot together. But it''s a real magic prop, and that alone has made this street worthy of its name. "
