Chapter 40: The Gathering of the Extraordinary

After the door was opened by the old man, Chris saw only a slight light inside, and the two followed the old man through the hall, up the stairs, and into a large room.

There were a few flickering candles on the table, and the room was covered with a faint dim glow.

Six or seven people sat on the chairs around the table, all dressed in hooded robes and masks of different colors.

Chris sat down in a corner following the teacher.

When the two men saw the two of them enter, they looked up, one tall and one short, and one of them was obviously a shorter blonde woman, and no one spoke.

After Chris and Oliver were ready, five or six more people came, and at two o'clock the old man who had opened the door came, followed by a waiter who was also wearing a mask.

In the faint candlelight, he can be seen with a pair of sharp blue eyes under his black mask.

I saw the old man come over and sit on a chair in the center, the waiter stood silently behind him, and the old voice sounded:

"First of all, welcome everyone to this temporary extraordinary gathering for their trust in the old man. I'm Gabriel, the appraiser.

"I believe most of the people here are old acquaintances, and there may be a few new friends. But rest assured, our transaction is fair and assured, and this house will also be sold after this party, so you don't have to worry about being targeted by official forces. ”

After the old man finished speaking, a tall man next to him spoke:

"Of course, just because Mr. Gabriel has a magical item, and its extraordinary ability is to identify the authenticity and general advantages and disadvantages of various extraordinary materials and magical objects. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't be so keen on your party of the extraordinary!"

Chris thought to himself: Is there such a powerful magical item? It seems that this man is a regular at the party.

Gabriel continued, "All right, the party begins! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of a young woman in the corner:

"I want to sell the 'Fighter' potion recipe for 450 gold pounds, or exchange it for a magical item that I can add money to. ”

The tall man just now asked:

"You have a potion recipe for 'Warrior'?"

The young lady hesitated, "No." ”

The tall man who heard the answer was silent for a few seconds and then said:

"Forget it. ”

A minute later, seeing that no one was speaking, the tall man said:

"I was looking for a weapon with extraordinary effects that would increase combat capability for a short period of time, preferably in the range of 400 to 700 gold pounds, and all types could be considered. ”

Then another hoarse voice sounded:

"I have two extraordinary weapons. One is the 'Must-Hit Pistol', which is modeled after a magical item and resembles a revolver that uses normal bullets. The transcendent effect is 100% certain, and there is still one year left in the service life, and the price is 530 gold pounds.

"The other one is the 'Lightning Strike Staff', which increases the user's movement speed and has a 10% chance of sending a lightning strike to the enemy, and if used in a lightning storm, the probability of a lightning strike can be increased to up to 20%. There are two years left in the service life, so it costs 720 gold pounds. ”

After hearing this, the tall man just now thought for a few seconds and said directly:

"I'll ask for the 'must-hit pistol' for 500 gold pounds. ”

The hoarse voice seemed to think about it for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

He then took out an ordinary revolver from his bosom and handed it to the servant who came by, who, after handing it to the servant, handed it to Gabriel.

Gabriel held out his left hand, and Chris saw that his left index finger was wearing a ring set with a green gem, which lit up after a few seconds of being close to the pistol in his right hand.

Gabriel did not hide this scene, but generously showed the ring shining green in his hand, and said loudly:

"Real, effective!"

Hearing Gabriel's answer, the tall man pulled his wallet out of his pocket and retrieved a thick stack of cash, all of which were bills in the denomination of 10 gold pounds. After counting most of them from the inside, he exchanged them with the servant who came with the 'Sure Pistol', checked it repeatedly, and nodded to make sure there was no problem.

The servant handed the 500 gold pounds to the hoarse man, who nodded after counting them.

Gabriel said: "The deal was successful. ”

The deal is over.

Then another man with a young voice asked:

"Whoever of you has a solid unicorn crystal of a rhinoceros of the earth, I am willing to pay 200 gold pounds. Or it's a clue that can also be used, I pay 10 gold pounds. ”

After a few seconds of silence, seeing that no one spoke, the man shook his head and gave up.

Then Oliver, who was beside Chris, spoke in a thirty-year-old voice:

"I need a pair of full unicorns and colorful spiders for an adult one-horned Pegasus, and I pay 100 gold pounds each. ”

The hoarse man who had just sold an extraordinary weapon said:

"I have big colorful spiders, but they only cost 60 gold pounds each, do you want them?"

Chris looked at the hoarse man and thought to himself, "How expensive! This is only one of the four main materials, and it costs 120 gold pounds...... Plus the rest of the auxiliary materials, that's a lot!

Although Oliver knew that the other party deliberately raised the price, he didn't care too much about the 20 gold, and then said:

"Okay, you bring it now?"

"No, that poisonous spider, how can you carry it with you, so what will I bring to you at the next party?"

"Yes. ”

Immediately, several more people completed several transactions one after another, and today's party seemed to be coming to an end.

Gabriel, seeing that no one spoke, stood up and said:

"Thank you again for your trust, although we are just a group of wild extraordinary, but I believe that as long as we all huddle together for warmth, we can still develop well. Then I will announce the code of the next knock on the door, 31432, this number will also appear in the advertisement, and the time and address are still posted in the "Federenburg Financial News" from time to time. If you want to participate, you can pay attention to the newspaper advertisement, and of course, you can also introduce it to safe and reliable friends. ”

Then Gabriel beckoned to the servant and said:

"The old rule is that everyone goes out with the servants every five minutes. It is not allowed to leave this room until the servant returns, and this is also for everyone's safety. ”

After the two of them had left, Oliver stood up and led Chris through the dimly lit hall with the servant to the courtyard gate.

There was no one at the door, and after Buck drove them away, Chris saw that it wasn't until his carriage had gone for a minute that the servant at the doorway in the distance turned back.

As soon as the two entered the carriage, they took off their hoods and masks, and Chris threw his wig in the corner of the carriage with hatred.

Oliver looked at the disciple who had finally relaxed from his tense state, and asked with a smile:

"How does it feel to see so many extraordinary people for the first time?"

Chris scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

"I'm still a little nervous, but unfortunately there's only one news of potion materials. ”

"It's lucky, you haven't seen anyone who doesn't even have a clue that he wants materials, and I don't know how long he's been looking for this kind of party. In the extraordinary world, if there is no formal channel, it will only become more and more difficult to collect all the potion recipe materials by yourself, and then the sequence will be improved. ”

Chris nodded approvingly, then asked:

"Why did the tall man ask the woman if she had a potion recipe for 'warrior'?"

"Because 'Fighter' is Sequence 8 of the 'Warrior' pathway. In the absence of Sequence 9, low-rank Extraordinaires would not buy any other Potion Recipe at all, after all, the price is expensive, which is why all Sequence 9 Potion Recipes sell better. ”

"Why would the Extraordinary Buy Sequence 9 Formula from another route?"

"Because extraordinary people have family and friends, one more way of sequence 9 formula, one more way. After all, everyone has a different personality and wants to choose a different extraordinary path. ”
