The World-Class Extra’s Walkthrough - Chapter 17

Episode 17

Disaster and Threat

“Where should I take you, sir?”

Thompson’s legs were shaking as he walked ahead.

“Hmm.”

Looking back, I felt a little sorry.

But it was the gangsters who started the fight first and I just took advantage of it.

Of course, the effect of the skill was so outstanding that it was misunderstood.

“How could you stab someone like that? “There’s so much blood!”

“The one and only disciple was a cruel and ruthless guy…”

“I told you he wasn’t dead! “It’s just blood splattering like that!”

When I protested loudly, the two people burst into laughter.

Even though he knew that the thug who got hit by my knife was fine, he was making fun of me.

“It was a fun technique. But how is that possible?”

“Hmm, really, where did you learn that skill? “Is it really prophet syndrome?”

“…The Black Flame Dragon inside me told me.”

I gave a cursory answer and tapped Thompson who was walking ahead of me.

“Take me to the black market.”

Then Thompson shook his shoulders and looked back at me slightly.

“The black market is a very dangerous place, Sir. Are you sure you don’t mind?”

…How can this guy’s every word be so corny?

“Thompson, confiscate your snout while you go to the black market. Don’t say a word. okay?”

“Why are you doing this?”

“I thought corny would be too cliche for you!”

“B-but me!”

“Uh huh, don’t you know Apsu? “Actually confiscate it?”

“Yeah…”

It’s a bit better.

It is true that the black market in Auracus is dangerous.

It would be the same for me, and it would be the same for Thompson, who is just a novice con artist.

‘There, if you don’t act as instructed, you will be stabbed without warning.’

It was such a bloody place, and it was a place where you could get things of great value.

Thompson was shaking, but did as I told him, keeping his mouth shut and walking toward the black market.

That was the effect of the event ‘I am the guide to this area.’

The road to the black market?

I know that much.

The problem was ‘entry qualifications’.

The black market wasn’t a black market for nothing.

‘You may have used the black market before, or you may be invited by someone who has used it.’

You could only enter if you had one of the two qualifications.

A qualification that does not apply to me at all.

So I decided to use ‘I am the guide in this area.’

< I am the guide to this area >

[Event] Although not widely known in Aurax, someone who was active in another area visited. Gentlemen from the back alleys who know the rules of etiquette have volunteered to serve him, so let’s explore the shadowy corners of Aurax together.

The conditions for activating this event seemed simple, but a bit tricky.

‘To subdue novice gangsters from back alleys without killing them and make them submit in a state of fear.’

The beginner gangsters were quite weak, so it wasn’t that difficult for players who were somewhat familiar with the game to take them down.

However, it becomes a bit difficult to keep them alive without killing them.

This is because when you spare them some stamina, their behavior is to jump out and exchange heated glances like before.

So, I usually had to tie them up, squeeze them, or threaten them with words to create a state of fear.

‘Honestly, it’s such a tedious task. I solved it easily because I happened to have the skills to use it.’

Thanks to this, it was also an element that was not that widely known.

But this event was quite useful.

By using this, you could enjoy the same effect as being invited to the black market.

“We’re all here, Nari.”

After walking down a back alley for a while, Thompson stopped.

An ordinary iron gate covered in rust.

However, this was the entrance to Auracus’ black market.

Thompson groveled as he glanced at me.

“Then can I just go back?”

I didn’t answer that question and looked back at Kals and Tyrvaen.

“From here on, we have to hide our titles, so we’ll just unify them all as ‘Nari.’”

This is a place where there is no benefit from revealing the prince’s identity.

“I understand, Nari.”

“I’ll call it whatever I want.”

Kals quickly lowered his head, and Tyrvaen was not interested in my title.

It doesn’t matter since I’m a kid who never calls me inferior anyway.

Now then…

“Open.”

I looked at Thompson and pointed to the door, and his face turned blue.

“lily! “You decided to save me!”

Yes, I did.

“So you’re alive and well as promised?”

“If I go in here, big trouble will happen!”

“No, something small will happen. And I will save your life in the future, so don’t worry and open it. hurry.”

Then Thompson sighed heavily and knocked on the iron door with a trembling hand.

It was exactly 5 seconds later that a response came back from inside.

“Who are you? “If you don’t want to be searched, take your hand off the door and get out.”

The gatekeeper’s voice was just as heavy as the original.

I was watching with my arms crossed.

“This is Thompson. older brother.”

“…Thompson? “Who is that?”

“There is a youngest child in the western district, right? lol.”

“Ah, that skinny guy. But you wouldn’t be the one to come here, right? “If you don’t want to be searched, take your hands off the door and step away.”

“Why are you doing this kid? “We have brought you a guest.”

“what? customer? Huh. Kids these days seem to be walking around with their heads off?”

The iron door creaked open with the sound of clicking one’s tongue.

I chuckled to myself.

‘Okay, door opening successful.’

The person who opened the rusty iron door and appeared was a gatekeeper who was one head taller than me.

The scary-looking guy glanced around at us and started growling at Thompson.

“This crazy Sheki… who told you that if you pick up a few dog snails from somewhere, the black market will open quickly?”

“That’s not it.”

“What do you mean no? Shall we gather together under you and under me? “If we all fold our fingers upside down, we won’t have any intention of knocking on the door of the black market, right?”

Then Thompson, frightened, began to hiccup.

He was stuck between me and the gatekeeper and couldn’t move.

Now, I can step forward at this point.

“Hey man.”

“…?”

“Why are you talking nonsense because you have a guest? “Aren’t you doing business?”

“….”

When I interrupted, the gatekeeper simply frowned and began glaring at me.

It was an irritating look, as if swearing was a waste.

‘If I had come wearing something expensive, there would have been some reaction here.’

Right now, I was wearing the ordinary clothes given to me by the Marquis of Reuth, and thanks to that, I was being looked down upon.

There are three ways the player can choose in this situation.

‘I’m going back. fight ‘I buy it.’

If things go on like this, you’re just wasting your opportunity.

If you fight the gatekeeper, you will win thanks to Carls, but you will also have to fight other guys that pop out from inside the black market, and as a result, you will not get anything.

So the correct answer was ‘buy’.

‘I’m going to push that to the limit as well.’

I took out all the gold coins I had from my inventory and presented them to the gatekeeper.

“30 gold coins. Is this enough for the entrance fee?”

I saw the gatekeeper’s eyes widen slightly as he accepted the heavy bag.

30 gold coins wasn’t a huge amount of money, but it was too much for the entrance fee.

I’m bluffing with all my money, but since they can’t tell at all, they’ll think I’m very rich.

“…Hmm, you were a guest.”

The gatekeeper, whose expression softened slightly, took out a few gold coins and examined them carefully.

Then he nodded and returned the entire bag of gold coins to me.

also.

But I pretended not to know anything and looked at the doorkeeper with a very innocent face.

The gatekeeper gave me a brief explanation.

“Our black market does not charge admission fees. “We just verify whether the customer is worthy of doing business with us.”

“is it so? “The money is tight.”

I calmly threw the gold coins into my inventory and glanced at the darkness stretching behind the gatekeeper.

“Then I can go in, right?”

“Of course, sir.”

The gatekeeper opened the way with a wide smile that was completely out of character.

That wasn’t a business smile, it was a genuinely happy expression.

Knowing what was going on, I burst out laughing.

‘He probably thinks he’s caught a big fish.’

He was grinning that he was sure to get his panties ripped off in there.

But I was quite the opposite.

Who am I to get robbed here?

‘If I had shaken it off, I would have shaken it off.’

I hid my expression and gestured to Thompson.

“What are you doing? “I have to take the lead again.”

“…yes? “Am I going in too?”

Thompson, who was standing there blankly, looked at me and the gatekeeper with bewildered eyes.

He looked like he wasn’t sure if it was okay to keep following me.

But surprisingly, the gatekeeper smiled softly.

“Please guide our guests well, Thompson! Don’t get lost. “Don’t make a mistake.”

…talking meaningfully.

“Oh, I understand, brother. “I will do my best.”

Thompson, a novice conman, had no idea why the gatekeeper’s attitude changed so suddenly.

Of course it was because of the 30 gold coins I showed him.

‘The gatekeeper of the black market becomes kinder the more gold coins the player shows as entrance fee.’

Thanks to this, Thompson can continue to go with me.

“…?”

Although he seemed to have no idea why he continued to accompany him.

“Is there gum stuck to the soles of your feet? “Let’s go quickly.”

This guy will come in handy in that black maze.

* * *

The black market in Auracus was as dark and complex as an anthill.

It was a series of narrow corridors that curved here and there and branched out as they went underground.

With Thompson in front, I walked slowly and recalled the information here.

‘Most of them are empty rooms or traps, and only a few rooms are used for trading. ‘You have to research properly before going in.’

This is a structure designed to safely steal away customers and goods even if the city guard comes in.

In other words, if you open the wrong door and enter, you could be considered a security guard and become a beehive.

Thompson looked back at me with anxious eyes, as if he was vaguely aware of that.

“Hey Sir, I really don’t know this place very well. “Because I’m not qualified yet.”

Yes, I guess so.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything.”

“yes? “This is our black market. What are you saying?”

…Another trite question.

“You confiscated the snout again. Confiscate until I say we can talk again. okay?”

“….”

“You’re not answering?”

“You just confiscated it, right?”

“Yeah man. “It was confiscated. Why are you answering?”

“….”

With Thompson in front, who had become completely mute, I turned my head and gave the following instructions to Kals and Tyrvaen.

“From now on, we are going to find a room where there is no sound at all. got it?”

Any place where you can hear voices or feel a presence is a trap.

A room with only complete silence.

That was the real black market where black transactions took place.

And Carls found the room in an instant.

“Here we go.”

This was thanks to his extremely developed five senses as an elite knight.

“That’s right, I definitely don’t feel any presence.”

Tyrvaen, who used detection magic, confirmed it.

I winked at Thompson.

“Open it.”

I planned to get a total of 3 items from here.

The first is a bow named ‘Quick Sal’.

The second is a magic accessory called ‘Forest Rosary’.

The third was ‘Shield of Balance’.

These were expensive items that I couldn’t even afford with the 30 gold coins I had.

But I was confident.

‘Because this is the black market.’

I came to catch the black cow!

Let’s catch the black cow and go!

Humming happily, I entered the room.

But the next moment.

“Hmm?”

“Huh?”

I couldn’t help but be taken aback by the familiar, large figure.

The guy sitting across from the trader also recognized me and seemed embarrassed.

“What? What are you doing here?”

“…That’s what I have to say, Irgal.”

Why is this guy here?
