The black market was indeed a bit out of the way, so Liens followed the method Jonathan provided and found a passerby to lead the way.
The passerby led him through seven or eight alleys, finally stopping at an alley entrance.
Because entering the black market actually required a fee…
At the alley entrance, two guys who looked like gang members stood like door gods on either side, stopping passersby and collecting a "toll fee."
Fortunately, this "toll fee" wasn't expensive, only two small copper coins were enough.
However, this essentially prevented a large number of homeless people from the Outer City from entering the black market. Was this a unique way to improve the city's appearance?
After paying the toll fee and turning through the alley, Liens finally saw the rumored black market.
The black market wasn't actually "black"; on the contrary, people came and went, and red and green lights flashed, making it look more like a bustling market.
