Seeing that Dangross didn’t reject the gift, Angel was somewhat relieved. Since Dangross accepted his gift, he would no longer feel any psychological burden when using its fire in future alchemy. This was a trade!
As Angel happily thought this over, they had already reached the end of the staircase.
There was no door at the end, allowing a clear view into the black market.
The black market is actually quite similar to the previous Underground Market, just much smaller than expected, with only one street. This street is winding and twisting, causing the shops on both sides to be unevenly placed, lacking any aesthetic appeal and dizzying to ordinary people after a while.
There are quite a few people in the black market; some narrow streets are even crowded shoulder to shoulder.
However, this did not hinder Angel’s progress.
Almost everyone on the road, upon seeing Dox, automatically made way for him. Clearly, they were aware of Dox’s identity.
"Red Sword" Dox, a Level 1 Wizard, even though he’s a Wandering Wizard, he is still an Official Wizard. In a place full of Apprentices, Dox’s existence is at the Great Demon King level.
The journey was very smooth, Angel even had the leisure to observe the black market.
His attention was not on the shops on both sides, but on the overall structure of the black market, especially the top.
Previously, he thought this was just a cavity, because there are very few level grounds, and everything is winding, with many sediment stones on the ground.
But when he saw the top, he discovered that the pothole-ridden top occasionally had some corners with obvious artificial Pattern traces.
Those Patterns were Magic Patterns. But obviously, they are from long, long ago, already broken and ineffective. However, judging from the number and distribution of the Patterns on the entire top, if the Magic Patterns were complete, it must have been a huge Magical Energy Array.
Many, many years ago, possibly thousands, or even more ancient times, this place might not have been simply a cavity.
As Angel was scrutinizing the structure of the black market, Dox announced: "We have arrived."
Only then did Angel withdraw his gaze and look around.
At this point, there were no other people around. The nearest shop was a hundred meters away and completely out of sight due to the slope.
This was a deep pit going downward. The pit was full of rubble and had traces of excavation.
"It is said that hundreds of years ago, this was a Magic Blood Ore pit, which is why it was dug like this. But now, there’s no ore left, and it’s been abandoned."
Angel had no interest in the abandoned pit and asked directly, "Where’s Kaier?"
Dox pointed to one side of the pit: "There."
Angel walked to the place Dox had pointed to. On the surface, there was nothing there, but within the sight of spiritual power, Angel could clearly feel some Concealed energy fluctuations around.
Moreover, these fluctuations were not unfamiliar to him, they were space nodes.
"Can you sense it? There’s a Concealed space node here, set up by Kaier. Only one of these space nodes is connected to Kaier, all other space nodes are traps. Touching them will drag you into a Space Rift."
Dox shrugged: "As for which one is the correct space node, I don’t know. All I can do is bring you here. I can stay with you and wait for Kaier to come out. He comes out at least once a week, and according to past occasions, the latest would be the day after tomorrow, he will..."
Dox hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Angel reaching towards a space node.
Dox was startled and hurriedly tried to rush over to stop him, not because he was worried about Angel, but because if a Space Rift formed, he would suffer as well.
Although the Space Rift set up by Kaier isn’t too dangerous for an Official Wizard, if you enter an unknown Void and cannot find a Path Mark, returning to the Wizards’ Realm would cost a lot.
However, Dox still failed to stop it. Angel was faster than him, directly touching the space node.
Seeing this, Dox started retreating frantically, hoping the savage Space Rift wouldn’t reach him.
But after retreating tens of meters, he realized no Space Rift had appeared in the distance.
While Angel calmly sat on a stone.
He hesitated for a moment, then walked over.
"Did you just touch the space node?"
"Yes." Angel nodded in acknowledgment.
"But, why..." no Space Rift?
Dox didn’t speak the incomplete sentence because there’s only one answer: the Wizard named Lyon opposite him had found the correct space node!
"Are you, like Esos, a Space Mage?" Dox hesitated for a moment, then asked.
Angel: "No, I’m just someone who has done some research on Space Series."
Angel had just acquired a complete set of space knowledge from the Dalmatian, and in terms of theoretical knowledge, he was already comparable to many Space Mages. However, from a practical standpoint, he was still at zero.
This time with the space node doesn’t even count as practice. For Angel, who possesses such a comprehensive set of space knowledge, finding an unusual space node was a piece of cake.
Looking at Angel’s calm and unruffled expression, Dox quietly speculated on his true identity.
Regarding whether he’s a Space Mage, the other party probably wasn’t lying.
Someone who isn’t a Space Mage but has such an in-depth study of the Space Series must have spent considerable time on it. The other party looks young, but he’s probably hundreds of years old.
Otherwise, how could he have time to study across fields?
At hundreds of years old, and he’s still an Official Wizard like Dox, without crossing into the realm of True Knowledge, it seems his Talent isn’t too high.
Thinking of this, Dox instantly gained confidence. He’s just turned eighty this year, even if he’s a Wandering Wizard, he’s still at the same level as the other party.
He’s confident that given a hundred years, he could find his own path and step into True Knowledge.
With this comparison, Dox’s confidence and sense of superiority began to soar.
So what if Lyon knew more than him?
He, Red Sword Dox, was still swelling with pride!
Angel gave Dox a strange look, feeling that the other had undergone some change in a short time, but upon closer inspection, he couldn’t find anything different.
Angel quietly shook his head: Forget it, it’s none of my business anyway.
Although he touched the correct space node, Kaier did not appear immediately. Presumably, he was busy with some research or something.
Half an hour later, a figure with an explosive hairstyle, face covered in black ash, clothes in tatters, appeared before them.
