Magician Knights

The Dark Market

Caldwell rewinded his steps. A feeling of fear of loss surrounded him, inevitably, he had to obey the words of Adriana who broke down in tears.

"Oh, all right, all right, I'm telling you."

"really?"

Adriana's eyes twinkled like stars in the sky. Huft, Caldwell sighed with his hands on his forehead.

"Yes, but there are conditions."

"Should you use the terms?"

"Of course." Caldwell replied firmly.

"What's the condition?"

"I'll go with you there."

The next day, as promised last night at the lantern park. Caldwell and Adriana come to the black market in black robes to avoid getting caught and attracting attention.

The black market is located in a remote area of Reala City. Not everyone knows his place is a secret.

It is called the Utawa Market. Many criminals, convicts, even famous antagonists in Reala City are here.

Well, Caldwell's father had a friend who was on the black market. Caldwell is also sometimes brought here just to look around.

"Have you ever been here?" Ask Adriana.

"Once, when I was with my father. Yeah, to visit his friend and go around."

"That's it, so you know the ins and outs of this black market, right?"

"Can I say that."

Drap, drap, drap, Caldwell and Adriana walked around the street while turning to the right and left sides. There were heavy equipment such as axes, illegal magic sticks, fate reader balls and so on.

A long white-haired old grandmother with a purple conical hat on top of her head was crazily moving her hand-reading mantra. Adriana was a little curious.

"Hey, you! Right, you're the one with the light blue hair. Come here." Come here."

"Grandma called me?" Ask Adriana.

"Truly son, come here. Look at your future through this ball of fate."

"Sorry, Grandma, I don't really believe in destiny." Adriana.

"Oh boy, what's wrong with trying, right?"

Adriana resigned, with all the persuasions and seductions that were thrown. Finally Adriana agreed to the strange Grandmother's invitation with all her nonsense about fate.

"All right, so what should I do?" Ask Adriana.

"Put your hand on this fate ball and I'll tell you."

Set, at the request of the grandmother, Adriana put her precious hand on the ball of fate. People say, the prophecy of the ball of destiny never misses.

Syush, wush, syush, the grandmother's hand moved here and there. The ball of fate lit up with a bright light that dazzled the eyes. Destiny has been seen, and it will be soon.

"Who's your name?" Ask the grandmother.

"Adriana, Adriana Alaqua."

"Do you know what your name means?"

"Of course, that means 'sweet darkness' doesn't it?"

"Your name will lead you into the twists and turns of a pretty bad life."

"Then how? Should I change my name?"

The grandmother closed her eyes, again moving her hands to the right and left over Adriana's hands. Adriana's gaze was flat, very flat.

The ball of fate lit up like there was a crystal blue glowing firefly inside. In the back, Caldwell gulped down the saliva a little worried and scared.

"I hope nothing will happen to Adriana." Inner Caldwell.

"So how?"

"Hm, you don't have to change your name. You just need to be careful. But remember, danger will always lurk you. Oh young man."

"Thank you, Grandma."

"How much should we pay?" Ask Caldwell.

The grandmother raised her head to look at Caldwell. Confused, Caldwell tilted his head very innocently. Makes Adriana want to laugh.

"You don't have to pay. It's free."

Set, Caldwell scratched the back of his head with a slightly dripping sweat. Behind her, Adriana just stared with her hands folded in front of her chest.

"Hey, aren't you listening? I said it's free."

"If you can tell, what's the reason?" Caldwell asked.

"Repo."

Jleb, the grandmother's words pierced Caldwell's heart both in the second and then. Pft, Adriana desperately held back laughing at Caldwell's reaction which she thought was very funny.

"Ahahaha, basic!" Inner Adriana.

"Hahaha, calm down, I'm just kidding you."

"Grandma, you're too much too, yeah." Caldwell.

"Why don't I take it? Because I'm so rich. I have castles, jewelry, and much more. Ahahahaha!"

"............."

Adriana and Caldwell stared at the flat, rich wall. Pft, Caldwell laughed at himself for what happened to him.

Who would have thought, it turns out the grandmothers they met were Sultan. If you know you will not give money, but ask for money so you can buy a quota.

"Yes, already. Then we go first, Grandma." Caldwell.

"Yes, yes, see you beautiful young people."

Drap, drape, drape, Adriana and Caldwell are back on the road. Fifteen minutes they walked through the huge Utawa market.

Set, Adriana's eyes caught something that made her stop stepping. Yep, it was the soul powder he was looking for. Tap, tap, tap, Adriana walked up to the merchant.

"Excuse me, is there anyone here who sells soul powder besides you?"

"No, Miss. I'm the only one who sells such valuable things."

"Then can you help me?"

The soul powder merchant seemed confused by Adriana's question. Tap, tap, Caldwell caught up with Adriana who was in front of him while watching their surroundings.

"Look, can you tell me the identity of the person who bought this soul powder to me?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Miss. We in this Utawa market are very secretive for buyers. Even though this is an illegal market, it keeps loyalty."

"Damn." Inner Adriana.

"Are you sure you can't help me?"

"Sorry, miss, I really can't do it."

Adriana's face looks tangled and wry, even to look at it is not good. Caldwell was sad when he saw the person he loved was sad.

As Caldwell was about to pat Adriana on the shoulder, the merchant acted instead. The merchant clutched with a look of the face asked to be hit.

The merchant's face was slightly flushed, making Caldwell ilfell at once wary. If Adriana, she still looks a bit sad.

"Ekhem, actually I can help, anyway."

"really?" Ask Adriana enthusiastically.

"Yes, but there's a condition."

"Then, what do you want? A home? The palace? Or treasure?"

"I want your body."

The situation around Adriana became gloomy and silent. What did the merchant say? Want Adriana's body? Request in raw bogem.

"Sorry, what did you say?" Adriana asked with a terrifying dark aura.

"As you said, I want your body. Body, that beautiful man behind you!"

".......???"

Adriana loading for a moment, she looked back. The one behind him was none other than Caldwell, instantly Adriana rose in blood.

............

Caldwell is still trying to understand the situation. He looked to the right and to the left, hoping that the merchant was not him. But, he (Caldwell) was meant.

"Did you say that, huh?!" Adriana Shouted.

"Right, I want that boy behind you."
