Chapter 8 Breathing Technique Obtained
The broken crimson moon still hangs high in the sky, unchanged no matter night or day.
But the gray mist that shrouded the entire Black City had become thinner and almost indistinguishable at some point.
The streets that used to be empty can still see a few figures today.
It’s true!
Today every month is a safety day in the Black City. Not only will half-dead creatures not appear, underground miners will also get a short rest.
"Huh..."
Karl took a long breath, tightened the things in his hands, and headed straight to the Laka market.
The dangers in the Black City are not limited to half-dead creatures.
There are still living people!
On the Safety Day in January, far more people than usual poured into the market, and the roar of people could be heard in the distance.
Carl squeezed through the crowd and stopped in front of the stall, frowning:
"Where is Cologne?"
This is a stall unique to Cologne, but now the stall owner Replaced by a scrawny young man.
“Do you know Uncle Cologne?”
The young man raised his head, stopped arranging the stall, rubbed his hands and said:
"Uncle is temporarily away because of something. I will help take care of the stall. If you need anything, just tell me."
" You?”
Under the cloak and hood, Karl’s eyes were suspicious.
The 'stall owner' in front of him was too young, and his ribs could even be seen in his shabby clothes.
Although the young man looked eager and eager to prove himself, it was a pity that his image was too difficult to gain trust.
"Karl!"
At this time, Cologne's voice sounded from not far away:
"I knew you would definitely come today."
He quickly came closer, grabbed Karl's arm, and pulled him towards an uninhabited corner.
Without waiting for Karl to speak, he whispered:
"There is a way to breathe!"
"Oh!"
Karl's eyes lit up and he didn't even care about the other person. The pungent bad breath so close at hand:
“How do you say it?”
"Hehe..." Cologne chuckled, and actually took out a book from his arms:
"In order to get this breathing method, I spent all the money I accumulated in the past few years. Fortunately, that person was anxious to collect money and leave the Black City, otherwise There is really no way to get it.”
“Of course, we are all acquaintances, and the price is easy to discuss.”
Karl looked at the book in the other person’s hand and felt his heart beating wildly for a moment. He even has the urge to kill people and seize treasures.
Breathing!
This is a magical method that allows ordinary people to have extraordinary powers!
“Just right.”
After calming down, he suppressed the impulse in his heart and put down his things one by one:
“I brought a lot with me this time too. Here comes the good stuff.”
“Thirty-two pounds of compressed canned beef, which can be kept fresh for at least one year, as well as high-quality fresh milk, all good things brought from outside.”
"Gulu..." Looking at the thing in front of him, Cologne's throat also rolled, and his one eye shone.
Canned meat that can be kept fresh for a year can be sold at a sky-high price in underground mines.
Fresh milk is hard currency.
Life in Black City is difficult, but there are also newborn babies. The importance of fresh milk to babies is self-evident.
"That..." Karl pointed:
"Can I take a look first?"
"Of course there is no problem." Cologne's little eyes flashed and he handed the book over, not forgetting to explain:
"I still have a few more in my hand. You can't practice by just reading the book."
"Understood."
Karl nodded, took the book and opened it quickly.
It's true!
Although he has never practiced the breathing method, he knows many knights and attendants, has heard a few words about it, and even specifically inquired about the breathing method.
Be able to distinguish between true and false breathing methods.
Poison Wolf Breathing Technique!
It’s a very ordinary name, and his level is probably not high, but the breathing method is enough for him.
"Huh?"
Touching the traces of writing on the page, Karl's eyes moved slightly:
"This word was written not long ago, right?"
" Yes.”
Colon nodded:
"But it doesn't affect it, does it?"
"It doesn't affect it." Karl raised his head and said slowly:
"It's just that it seems that person not only sold the breathing method to You should have sold it to someone else."
Colon's expression changed.
Karl’s guess was right, that person’s bid was too high, and no single person could afford it.
So I simply copied a few books on breathing techniques and sold them to several stores.
“We are old friends, and I won’t hide it from you.” Cologne said:
“There are indeed sellers like me in the market who sell Poisonous Wolf Breathing Technique, but can you Are you sure the one you bought from them is the complete version? "
"Although I have never practiced the breathing method, I know that even one mistake in the method can cause death." He said firmly:
< br>
"I haven't made any modifications to this copy!"
Karl was silent.
Indeed.
His purpose is the breathing method. It doesn’t matter where to buy it from, not even the price.
Of course you can't completely trust the other party.
"It's useless to give me the breathing method. We can easily discuss the price. There is one more thing."
Colon leaned forward and whispered:
"Do you want to leave the Black City? ?”
“Leave the Black City?” Karl raised his eyebrows:
“I can’t afford Madam Butterfly’s two thousand black stones.”
"It's not Lady Butterfly." Cologne waved his hand:
"I know a group of people who can secretly send people away from here to the nearby Vitelli City, which only requires three hundred black stones."
"Dark road?" Karl's expression changed. He has also heard such rumors, but never thought of trying:
"If you are caught, you will die!"
On the high wooden frame erected at the entrance of the market, from time to time, There would be several corpses hanging, mostly people trying to escape the city.
"Dead person?" Cologne said sarcastically:
"In a place like this, what's the difference between living and dead, it's just one morning and one night."
Karl still shook his head.
He had a way out, but he was not ready to give it a try, so he changed the subject and said:
“Let’s talk about breathing techniques.”
"That's fine!"
Colon sighed.
Soon after, the two negotiated a deal, and Cologne waved to the boy at the stall.
"Her name is Aya. If I'm not here, you can find her. Even though she is so thin, she has a very flexible mind."
"Aya?" Karl looked at the other person:< br>
"Girl?"
"Yes."
Aya rubbed her hands and stared straight at him with a pair of big eyes:
"Uncle, take care of my business in the future. .”

Karl touched the book in his arms and felt his heart beating faster. After leaving the market, he hurried to his residence.
After waiting for a long time, he finally got started with the breathing method, and he couldn't wait.
“Huh?”
"Peng!"
The sheathed broadsword collided with a wooden stick. Karl stepped back and steadied himself in front of the alleyway.
There are several dark shadows in the alley.
There were two other people lying on the ground dying.
This seems to be a murder scene. Is it just because I was worried about being seen when I was passing by that I carried out a sneak attack?
Unexpected disaster!
“Several people.”
Karl slowly moved back with the sword in his hand, and said solemnly:
“The people here have nothing to do with me, and I didn’t see anything. ."
"Well..."
Among the crowd, a sturdy figure stepped out, his eyes falling on Karl, especially the broad sword that he paused for a moment.
"Head!"
Someone whispered:
"How about..."
"Forget it."
The strong man's voice was dull and he waved his hand towards Karl:
"Let's go!"
Carl stepped back step by step. When he was a little further away, he turned around and accelerated and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
“Head.”
In the alley, a person said:
"That man probably hasn't practiced the breathing method, so it's not difficult to stay."
"No need."
The strong man said:
"His movements with the sword are very Stable, it may not be without means, and the bulging sleeves may contain sleeve arrows."
"The key is..."
"I don't have any goods, and I won't get much benefit from killing him. There is no need to take unnecessary risks. I just want to clean up this place."
"Yes." The subordinate nodded, holding a long sword dripping with blood and pointing towards it. A man on the ground walked over and raised his hand to stab.
"Poof!"
Blood splattered.
