Chapter 132: Sun Brooch (The Third Month's Ticket Recommendation)
"You can confirm and pay later. The "Eyes of Wisdom", dressed in hooded robes, walked directly in front of Crane and handed him the dark gold brooch.
It's very atmospheric...... As soon as Klein reached out and took it, before he could take a closer look, he felt that the surroundings had become hot, and even the wind seemed to be burned by fire, and as soon as he inhaled it into his nose, it spread to his lungs.
At this moment, he seemed to have left the cold and damp Bakeland, and was in the desert and wilderness of the middle of the Northern Continent, with the sun radiating infinite light and heat above his head, and the endless yellow sand around him, which was extremely dry.
Whew, makes me want to eat ice cream...... Crane's forehead slowly dripped, but under the clinging of the iron mask, the liquid could not fall freely, and could only be stuck in place.
Through direct touch, he sensed the pure warm power radiating outward, and the extraordinary beings around him were unremarkable.
After pinning the brooches in the correct position, Crane radiated his spirituality and dipped them into the dark golden surface.
With a bang, he saw pure golden points of light flying in the sky, and received a lot of information.
This includes how to use some of the spells of the "Sun" realm with the help of brooches.
The focus is on spiritual input skills and the opening spell that works together!
Providing Spirit for two seconds, the "Brooch" will summon a divine light that falls from the sky to purify necromantic creatures and deal damage to other types of targets.
Providing spirit for five seconds, combined with the word "sun" in ancient Hermes, creates a small amount of "solar water", which can ward off evil spirits, drive away the cold, and purify resentful spirits.
Add to that the difference between strength and discontinuity, and the rest of the spells will be cast accordingly.
"Flame of Light" is a dense dense flame of golden Divine that creates out of thin air, "Slash of Purification" is an effective strike against evil spirits and can be attached to bullets, "Immune to Fear" makes the wearer feel no longer afraid, and "Holy Oath" is a temporary increase in Strength, Agility, Fire Damage, or Holy Damage by chanting the corresponding ancient Hermetic word.
The "Sun Aura" targets companions within a radius of 20 meters, effectively increasing their courage and purifying them of evil powers.
It feels good, except that it's not weird enough, there are no big flaws, and it complements my "magician" ability...... It's just a little hot...... All Klein's mind fantasized about was his short shirt and short sleeves.
He rolled up his robe, took out a stack of banknotes from his inner pocket, and counted a full 2,000 pounds in cash to the waiter of the "Eye of Wisdom", together with the 900 pounds he had just received from the lady who was the "craftsman" behind him.
After counting three times and finally confirming that it was correct, Crane glanced at the rapidly deflated "wallet", feeling both joy and melancholy.
All he had saved was 574 pounds in bills and 5 gold coins.
However, he also gained his second magical item, which has significantly less side effects than the "Master Key" and is more capable of the magical item, the "Sun Brooch"!
It's just too hot...... Crane reached out and touched the iron mask, nearly taking it off and fanning it.
The amount of the money went back to the old one, and he no longer thought about buying anything else, and sat there quietly, all the while listening to the end.
And stimulated by the large transaction of 2,000 pounds, tonight's party was relatively active, for example, the whip woven from the feathers of the sacred sunbird was sold, and 850 pounds, such as the "Eye of Wisdom", bought an ancient book, an extraordinary material.
When it was over, the "Eye of Wisdom" looked around, looked at Klein, and chuckled:
"You're the first to leave. β
This is for fear that I will be robbed...... Crane thanked him sincerely, and walked out of the living room with the attendant leading him, and then eagerly took off his hooded robe and iron mask.
He had already tried just now, and by wrapping and sealing it with spirituality, he could isolate the "Sun Brooch" from the uninterrupted purification of the surroundings, preventing its existence from being discovered by the rest of the extraordinary, but the negative effect could not be weakened unless it was not carried on his body.
In order to ensure my mental health, I will only use it when I need it in the future, and it is enough to rely on "purification bullets" and "exorcism bullets...... Crane left the meeting place and made a big circle to the outside of the Brave Bar.
He went in and around and soon came out again, hiring a carriage.
No surprise, he soon saw a figure in a black court dress outlined on the opposite side.
Sharon's appearance didn't change at all, and she asked in a vague tone:
"Are you ready?"
"Alright, you can pick the ambush location and time, and let me know when you are sure. Crane nodded calmly.
Sharon looked at him and said:
"Good. β
Seeing that she was about to disappear, Klein added:
"Let Caspars prepare a box of explosives, scattered and buried in different places on the intended battlefield. β
Sharon was silent for two seconds and said:
"Steve is also an expert in explosives. β
"No, my main purpose is not to bomb anyone. Klein smiled, "I just wanted to set off some fireworks." β
Sharon stared at him silently for a few seconds, then finally just nodded.
Seeing her figure quickly fade, Crane leaned back against the wall of the car and opened the window, letting the cold wind blow in like a bone marrow outside, but he still felt hot.
I hated summer the most when I was on earth, well, I love popsicles, ice cream, cold drinks, watermelon...... Crane grunted as he reached into his pocket and grasped the "sun brooch".
That's a magical item worth Β£2,000!
Back on Minsk Street, Klein walked slowly along the tree-lined road to house 15.
As he passed by the lawyer's house, he subconsciously looked inside and saw the gas lamp with a slight blue glow.
Someone's here...... Crane smiled and sighed, sweat streaming down his forehead.
............
The next day, early Thursday morning.
Klein had just come out of the bathroom with the newspaper when he heard the doorbell ringing.
By the way, Talim mentioned that journalist Mike Joseph will be coming to me today...... With a clanging movement, Crane came to the door and reached for the handle.
The image of the visitor has naturally appeared in his mind:
In his mid-thirties, with a black tweed coat and a half-top hat of the same color, sparse eyebrows, attractive blue eyes, and two beautiful mustaches, but rather rough skin, it was Mike Joseph, a journalist for the Daily Observer.
"Good morning, Mike, Talim told me. Klein opened the door and said hello.
The "sun brooch" was undoubtedly thrown by him above the gray mist.
Mike Joseph pulled down his bow tie and said:
"Sorry to bother you so early, I'll have something else to do later. β
"I understand. Klein said politely, "Have you had breakfast?" and why don't you taste my roasted toast?"
Mike suddenly smiled:
"I'm so embarrassed. β
"If only you could have a cup of hot coffee, or milk, I see you ordered fresh milk." β
β...... Good. Crane smiled.
He busily baked the toast, poured the milk, took out the tin of cream, and sat down, eating half full without saying a word.
Mike, on the other side, was enjoying his breakfast uninhibitedly, unaware of the silence.
Call...... Klein let out a sigh, put down the cup and said:
"Mike, you want to hire me to protect you?"
Mike slowly put down his knife and fork and took a sip of milk:
"Yes, probably two days, Friday and Saturday, and maybe Sunday morning. β
"Who wants to hurt you?" Crane asked, thoughtful.
Mike smiled and said:
"No, it's a self-preservation of an active nature. β
"The editor-in-chief of the newspaper arranged for me to do an investigative journalism issue in the East, the Docklands, and the Factory District, supposedly funded by a church or a nobleman. β
"You know, the East End is full of gangsters, or people who are willing to sell their conscience for a bite to eat, and I need a protector who is good at fighting and shooting. β
"Besides, most of the private investigators have some connections in the Eastern End, don't they?"
I didn't...... I solve cases by metaphysics, no, reasoning! Klein thought for a moment and said:
"But I don't necessarily have time these days. β
We'll have to wait for Miss Sharon's side to act.
Mike hurriedly cleared his throat and said:
"I've already applied, Β£10, and this time the mission is Β£10 in total, and even nothing happened. β
Klein smiled and said:
"Mike, I'm serious. β
"You'll be here tomorrow, well, come to me after breakfast, and I'll take this commission if I'm free, and if I'm really too busy, I'll introduce you to another detective, who is also good at fighting and shooting. β
Like Stuart, like Kaslana...... Two names had already crossed his mind.
Mike eats the rest of the toast and says:
"No problem. β
After breakfast, Klein watched the reporter leave his home, and watched the freezing rain outside, the carriages and pedestrians coming and going, the dark sky and the umbrellas of different colors through the glass of the convex belly window.
Finally got a normal mission...... It doesn't involve the extraordinary, and it's not the kind of cat hunting...... It's a pity that it's not a commission like a murderer's case, otherwise I would have been able to experience what it's like to be a real detective...... There is only one truth! Klein's thoughts diverged endlessly, and the whole person was in an inexplicable and leisurely state.
If he wasn't still thinking about Sharon and MariΔ, he planned to relax, visit various museums, buy a ticket to the Grand Theater, attend a few operas and concerts, and experience the international cuisine of the metropolis of Beckland.
Well, I'm a casual tourist, a lonely foodie...... Crane laughed to himself and turned to the couch area, intending to flip through the unfinished newspaper.
Suddenly, he noticed that there was an extra note on the coffee table at some point, and the handwriting was graceful and restrained:
"Meet at the back door of the Brave Bar at 10 o'clock tonight. β
Klein was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look out the window, and sighed silently:
"Is it finally going to start......
