The Moon In Darkness
Ch.41 The Capital Black Market

"missy! the first young master asked me to make you some warm tea!" arum shouted from behind the door.

you're asleep already?' arum inner by raising his eyebrows, he silently stared at the door for a moment and opened it to make sure.

"sleep anyway." muttered Arum saw An who was lying soundly with a pile of books on the bed.

He approached, put a teacup on the table and pulled An's blanket over half his face, "you said I should choose right? then prove it, your speed to be my master." whispered Arum as he stroked An's hair.

"if you are silent like this, you are cute.. Miss." Arum smiled, he got out of An's bed and left the cup of tea he had brought.

The room was instantly silent, An was still soundly asleep. From behind the door that had been left five minutes, there was a grunt from someone, "i thought he would wake up, it was actually sleeping ya.takmur." lamented Arum while walking away.

When it was confirmed that no one was there, An opened his eyes and stretched his muscles, "fanatic, I don't want to be his master either."

An left all the books scattered and not forgetting he was wearing a fox mask and his all-black clothes, he glanced at the cup of tea prepared by Arum and smelled the aroma, "ordinary tea."

The girl jumped out the window and moved according to the map that had been embedded in her head, after reaching the gate she tried not to steal the attention of the guards and jumped out. Not to forget An wore a sapphire earring from Chyou and walked cheerfully towards the golden statue.

An finally arrived at the square of the city square, there everyone was still crowded passing by, right in front of a golden statue, many young men, people wearing masks were also robed silently, without a sound, he approached the group and whispered with one of the men nearby, "why are you silent here?"

The man only glanced at An at a glance and made a hand gesture for An to be silent, before long the eyes of the golden statue turned dark, and, a protective shield emerged from the top of the statue's head and seemed to swallow the person within its reach.

An felt dizzy the moment he closed his eyes, his body shook and his eyes became heavy. After some time experiencing it, he was able to open his eyes and see that he had entered the night market area, as well as in the city of Chengse, the only difference is a large tavern like a capital market.

"take it easy, the pain will disappear when you have seen the beauty of this place" said the man who asked An to not make a sound, he wore a black mask half face and a long blue robe.

"well, now it doesn't hurt anymore." An replied while taking a safe distance with the man.

"don't you wonder why that happened? or how can anyone make that happen?" The man held his chin while walking closer.

"no, it doesn't have anything to do with me, does it?" An stretched his neck muscles and walked away from the man, as if he did not want to lose, the man walked slowly following An from behind.

"hey, what are you looking for? I know the ins and outs of this place, want an information store? an auction? gun store? slave place?" bargain the foreign man.

An's steps came to a halt as he heard the slave's place which the man said, "slave?" ask An cynically.

"oh! you interested?" The man stretched out his hand and smiled broadly, "Yelu! you?"

"An." replied the girl briefly in her flat voice, she only returned the helping hand with a lightning-fast clap of hands.

".. Your name is sweet, so you want to know about slaves?" ask Yelu to make sure.

"no, I want to know who's the chairman who's operating the slavery."

"why? don't you also know people who are made slaves? after all, all those slaves were bankrupt noble families and commoners." Yelu said it lightly, he glanced at An but could not see the reaction he gave.

"i never asked about it, all I wanted to know was the person who operated it."

"i'm sorry then, I can't tell you, it's the privacy of this market" Yelu said, scratching his head.

An just looked at Yelu and left without saying a word, "my time was wasted just for useless chatter." he muttered.

Seeing An getting away, Yelu smiled slightly and muttered, "An.. An yes?"

Before long, someone in long black robes came and saluted the man, "master, young master Wu first is waiting for you."

After leaving the stranger earlier, An was still walking lightly down the street that night, he saw the tavern around him while looking for the green auction that people said last day.

"auctions hi. hoo.." his sentence was interrupted when he saw a large building filled with emerald sparkles, right in front of the building everyone gathered waiting to enter there.

An tried to get in line and it was his turn to go in there, a guard guard guarding the entrance then reached out his hand, "please get your ticket."

"i don't have, that ticket" An replied lightly.

"then you cannot enter, please leave" said the guard indifferently.

"where can I get it?"

"whatever."

"your tone sucks huh?" muttering An still held back his emotions, the guard only glanced and ignored.

Seeing the commotion, a woman who was one of the customers approached An, "i have two tickets, you want one?" the woman's timpal was interrupted by a debate.

An looked at the woman and frowned, "two minutes, you guard my place." he then turned and left from there leaving a crowd of grumbling people waiting to go inside.

Two minutes had passed, everyone was already getting upset because they still could not get in, "it was two minutes, next." exclaimed the guard.

Arriving, several guests in the back shouted hysterically, "astaga! crazy person!" shouted one of the noble ladies.

An appeared with a clenched hand covered in blood, he advanced forward regardless of the guest commenting to him, he approached the waiter and gave a bloodstained ticket from his hand, "satisfied?"

The guard swallowed his coarse saliva, he who at first looked at An arrogantly now stared at the ground, "please sir, have fun."

The girl entered regardless of the guards, before opening the door of the auction room she stopped and glanced at a woman behind her, "you want this?" said the woman while giving her handkerchief.

An received the handkerchief and wiped all the blood that was attached to his arm, "you're always idle, old man." said An slowly, from behind the mask, he glanced at the woman who was now smiling like a madman.

"when I've been wearing a real body, how do you know?" the woman took a handkerchief and threw it in any direction.

"would it be plastic or real meat, it is undeniable if a doll is still a doll."

The woman smiled, she opened the door and bowed respectfully to An, "we should go in and find a seat, everyone is waiting for their turn."
