The Age of Elves: Starting from Mewtwo
Chapter 37 Black Market
Where there is light, darkness will naturally grow.
This world was under the strict control of the Elf Alliance at the beginning. Only trainers could legally collect elves from the wild, while ordinary people could only purchase elves through other official channels.
The price of ordinary elves is acceptable, but the rare ones or the quasi-god level ones are not affordable by normal people.
The original purpose of this kind of law is to allow elves, who are essentially kind-hearted creatures with extraordinary power, to be firmly controlled by a small number of people, so as to prevent ordinary people from using the power of elves to satisfy their own selfish desires, break the law, or even harm others.
The effect is very good. Only professionals like trainers can train and cultivate powerful elves, while ordinary people can only enjoy the convenience brought by ordinary elves.
And the alliance uses these incomes to recycle and invest in the welfare of trainers, forming a virtuous cycle.
But this has also led some lawless people to capture a large number of rare elves in the wild and sell them through illegal channels and channels in order to make profits.
The price is generally a little cheaper than the official price of the alliance, but some elves with extraordinary talents or hot prices will sell for astronomical prices.
The place where these elves are sold is generally called the elven black market. Such a market is equivalent to a paradise for outlaws and rich people who are not trainers.
The Alliance knew of such existence and carried out severe crackdowns and seizures. However, driven by huge profits, this black market not only did not disappear, but also sprung up everywhere.
The Alliance had no choice but to continue to maintain a strict ban on these black markets, and at the same time opened up the rights of ordinary people to capture some common elves.
The black market has restrained somewhat, but it still exists.
It was already late at night, and deep darkness swept across the sky. Muffled thunder and thick clouds roared, seeming to announce that a thunderstorm was coming.
There were no pedestrians on the streets of Dark Gray City, and the dim light of the street lights illuminated a figure at the corner.
The man was wrapped tightly in a black windbreaker, with a gray hat and black sunglasses on his head.
The man walked straight into a deserted alley and knocked on a dilapidated wooden door in the alley.
"dong dong"
There was no response, and a harsh thunder resounded throughout the alley, while a dazzling light took the lead, illuminating everything in the alley pale.
“Money and the Black Zone.”
The man stopped tapping and said softly.
His voice is deep and magnetic, leaving a deep impression on people upon first listen.
With a creak, the old wooden door opened.
He seemed to hesitate for half a second, and finally stepped into the door.
Another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, thunder rang out, and amidst the wild roar, the Dark Gray City was completely occupied by a dense thunderstorm in an instant.
The door is closed.
The entire alley returned to silence.

"Hey, why can't this Charmander be sold?"
A short, fat middle-aged man complained to himself and kicked the iron cage in front of him hard.
Along with the impact and the sound of the iron cage shaking, a feeble scream came from the cage.
"Woohoo..."
The little Charmander in the cage seemed to have gone through a lot of twists and turns, and no part of his body retained its original color - his body was covered in blood and dust.
There was a shocking wound on his abdomen, but it was simply wrapped with a bandage and had no effect at all. Brown blood stains that had long since solidified were spread around the wound.
The flames on the tail behind him were extremely weak and seemed to be extinguished in the next moment.
But his eyes were still sharp and focused, staring at the middle-aged man in front of him, as if he wanted to tear him apart with his gaze.
Ten days ago, he was caught by illegal elf poachers and taken away from where he lived.
He was frightened by the bumps along the way, and his resistance to the hunter after getting off the car left scars on his abdomen.
There are only two fates for these elves after they are captured on the black market. The first is that they are lucky enough to be bought by the seller and taken away from this black zone.
The second is that in this turbid air and narrow iron cage, he died slowly due to both physical and mental torture.
"Hey, little guy is quite brave, but it's a pity that no seller seems to like you."
"I'm just unlucky. One Yusanjia could have sold at least over [-]...things that cost money."
The middle-aged man spat with a mocking look on his face and sat back on his chair.
This is an elf shop in the underground black market, selling the elves captured by illegal poachers.
In the shop behind him, countless iron cages containing various elves were piled up in a haphazard manner, but none of the elves inside were willing to make a sound.
They might even let out unwilling wails on the day they first arrived, but after so many days, they also recognized the reality and simply conserved their strength and waited quietly.
Because these shopkeepers are not kind enough to feed them, and the little they feed every day is just to keep them alive.
These black-hearted businessmen only need to successfully sell a few elves bought from those poachers to make a huge profit.
"Do you have Yusanjia for sale here? From the Kanto area."
The middle-aged man's luck was unknown. Not long after he sat down, a buyer came to the door.
He quickly stood up to greet him with a smile on his face and responded in his mouth.
"Yes, of course! And the price is affordable!"
The person who came to the stall was a tall blond woman. Even the heavy makeup and luxurious clothes could not hide the ugliness of his appearance.
Wearing red high heels, she stopped in front of the middle-aged man's shop.
"Shall I take a look at the goods?"
"Okay, no problem, beauty. May I ask what your purpose is in buying Yusanjia?"
The middle-aged man secretly scolded this woman for looking disgusting, but he said flattering words.
"My son didn't get the number from Yusanjia, so I came here to buy one for him."
The woman spoke in a sharp and unpleasant voice, and her eyes were full of disdain for the middle-aged man.
Wealth often makes people lose themselves.
"That's a good relationship. With Yu Sanjia as the initial elf, your future will be boundless."
The middle-aged man didn't seem to care. He smiled and picked up the cage containing the Charmander and placed it in front of the woman.
"This little Charmander was obtained by a team of professional hunters from the Charizard Valley. As you know, it is the place with the most Charizards in Kanto."
He paused and continued: "This little thing was slightly injured during the transportation process, so it is a defective product, but you can see that his eyes are still strong. He will definitely become the main elf under your son in the future."
The woman lowered her head and observed it, and found that it was exactly what the middle-aged man said, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, that's this one."
"Okay! The market price of Charmander is generally around 15, I'll give you a discount, 12, you can take it."
When the middle-aged shop owner saw this, he followed suit.
"It's too expensive. One hundred thousand. If you don't sell it, I'll go elsewhere."
The woman frowned upon hearing this.
The middle-aged man seemed to hesitate for a while, then gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay! Let's just make a friend! One hundred thousand! I'll suffer a loss."
On the surface, he looked pained, but in fact, he was already happy.
In fact, the actual actual price of a Charmander is only about [-]. He deliberately raised the price just to bet that this woman didn't know the market price.
He was right.
Seeing that the other party agreed, the woman began to take out the banknotes from her bag with satisfaction - such a private transaction naturally cannot be paid through the Internet, and the alliance is not a fool.
The little fire dragon in the cage clearly heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.
He didn't want to be taken away by this woman and then become his son's initial elf... How could a son educated by such a woman be any better?
Maybe he will be abandoned, maybe he will be abused... He would rather die in this iron cage than serve these humans!
But there was nothing he could do at the moment, he could only watch this happen.
At this moment, a mutation occurred!
A violent explosion came from the depths of the black market, followed by the crowd's wailing and screaming, as well as whispered curses!
"Damn it! There's a note!"

A Guan has something to say:
This is the last time I’ve talked about so many idle articles, so I urge you to read it, thank you!
Today’s fourth update, strictly speaking, it’s already [-] words (not counting this idle chapter), and there’s one more chapter left tonight, so I’ll give the extra to you!
I’m going to recommend it today, and I have some things I want to talk to you about.
The author dropped out of school and embarked on the path of writing alone. Now he lives in a rented house worth several hundred yuan and eats cheap food every day to survive.
What I told you before about adding ham to instant noodles is not a joke, haha.
I have no other income now. Since my monthly manuscript fee has not been paid, I can only live on borrowed money. I spend basically half of my day thinking about how to write a book.
It can be said that my writing career is bet on this book. If my grades are not good, I may go back to study and bid farewell to the online literary world.
Not much to say, today is my first recommendation. Although the results seem pretty good, the number of banknotes is really not as good as some books with names behind me on the ranking list.
Others start with one thousand, but I start with five or six hundred, which makes me feel quite uncomfortable.
If you think my writing is not good, you can tell me and I will revise it.
If I feel that I don’t like a character or it’s not well described, I will make adjustments and send that character away directly.
What plot do you want to watch, what elf do you like, and what suggestions do you have? Just tell me in the comment area and I will watch and like it.
First of all, thank you to those readers who have always voted to support me, I love you!
And those who are prostitutes for free, those who keep books... well, I won't force you.
Check it out, thank you.
There is another 2k chapter tonight, love you all.
One last thing to mention, you must read the latest chapter to vote!Otherwise, QAQ would not calculate the meal payment for me.
Kowtow to you, kowtow!
