Chapter 12: Unexpected Surprise

Allen, who had his wallet regained, was in a good mood and left the alley back to the street and began to continue shopping.

Some of the people on the road who watched Scar's gang enter the alley looked at Alan vigilantly, and the person who could escape from the famous gangsters in the town must not be a simple character.

But no one came forward to look for trouble, after all, the little gangsters are not very popular!

Alan went straight to the stall where the things he found useful to him were located when he glanced at them in a hurry.

The stall owner is a man in his forties, dressed in ordinary clothes and dressed as a down-and-out mercenary.

It wasn't a precious material item either, and there were bottles and jars on the rags in front of him, as well as some worn-out books.

Seeing Alan coming, the stall owner pointed to the small bottles and greeted warmly:

"Come, guest! Look at these things, they are all made by myself. Absolutely useful for all kinds of tasks. ”

Alan looked in the direction of his finger, and the bottles and jars were about five centimeters high, with large bellies and small mouths. There is a small note on the bottle with the name on it:

"Insect repellent powder, deodorizing powder, hemostatic medicine, antidote...", are all common medicines commonly used by some adventurers, although they are not special medicines, but they can also deal with some emergencies.

As for the potions, no one in the entire Black Forest Town can refine them. The occasional sale in the shops was all from the big city, and the price was high, and ordinary first-order spirit masters couldn't afford it.

"Boss, how do you sell all these things?" These things are still very useful for Allen, who is about to embark on an adventure, so he starts asking for prices

Hearing the inquiry, the smile on the boss's face became even stronger, and he immediately said

"20 silver coins per bottle of insect repellent powder, 40 silver coins per bottle of deodorizing powder, 80 silver coins per bottle of hemostatic medicine, 1 gold coin per bottle of antidote,"

The price is not expensive, but Alan still asked: "The price is not a problem, but these things are useful!" At the same time, it released a first-order momentum.

Feeling the pressure coming from Allen's body, the boss replied with a straight face:

"This big-grown, little one has been in town for decades. It's been a long time since I started selling potions, although not as good as those potions. But the specific effect is still good, otherwise it would have been turned off a long time ago. ”

Seeing that what he said didn't look like a lie, Alan put away his momentum and said:

"Okay, 5 bottles of insect repellent powder and deodorizer each. 3 bottles of hemostatic medicine and 2 bottles of antidote. ”

Alan bought a total of 6 gold and 48 silver medicines, which should be enough for a while. After saying that, he asked the boss to wrap up the things first, and then looked at the worn-out books on the side.

"Boss, what are these books of yours?" Alan asked the boss.

"Those are all books that the villain collected when he was on an adventure when he was young, but most of the contents are incomplete, and if you want it, you will have 20 silver coins a copy." The boss replied while helping Alan with his things.

Hearing what the boss said, Alan became interested and picked up the next book casually and flipped through it.

Books in this world are rare, and only nobles and people of a certain status can collect them.

Most of the people are illiterate, and even some mercenaries only know some commonly used scripts.

Allen's original body was because he had an adoptive father who was born as a lord guard, and he had learned to write. Alan inherited the memories of his original body and can be regarded as a cultural person.

But when he flipped through the pages of the book in his hand, Allen's face showed a look of disappointment.

Where these books are incomplete, they are clearly a pile of waste paper. The pages of the books are badly missing, and even those that are still there are mostly blurry. Finally, there are a few sheets that can read the words clearly, and there are many insect eyes on them, and the content of the book is incomplete.

Alan then put down the book in his hand and picked it up again, the book had very little text on it. There is a humanoid pattern painted on it, as if it is a combat technique, but unfortunately it is also not clear to see.

The rest of the books Alan also flipped through, but the situation was similar. Only one book on medicinal materials is slightly better, and the medicine sold by the boss should have been researched through this book.

While Alan was flipping through the books, the stall owner was also observing his expression. Seeing that his face was getting worse and worse, he hurriedly explained:

"My lord! Don't look at these books, but there are some things in them that are still useful, so you should think about them. ”

Putting the books back in their place, Alan looked hesitant.

When the boss saw it, he then persuaded: "My lord, if you want it, I will make it cheaper." There are seven copies here, and you can just give one gold coin. ”

These books have been with him for years, but they are too broken. If you want to sell it to big people, people can't look down on it. Sold to ordinary people, there are too few literate ones.

Finally, someone was interested, and he quickly bargained to deal with it.

Hearing the boss's words, Alan pretended to think about it for a while, then nodded and said finally

"Alright! You put it up for me. ”

"Okay!" The boss said happily.

After waiting for a while, the boss packed everything in a package, and Alan took the things and left after paying the money

Coming to a restaurant not far away, Alan opened a room. After going upstairs and entering the room, the little man closed the doors and windows, and Alan hurriedly took out all the books he had just put on the table. I said silently in my heart:

"System Scan!"

A white light flew out of Allen's body and shrouded the book.

After a few minutes, the white light returned, and the books on the table disappeared.

At the same time, a stream of information appeared in Allen's mind, causing him to be in a trance

"Primary Treatment Formulations."

"Cross Swordsmanship"

"Equal Contract"

"Second-Order Spirit [Beast Tooth Shield] Evolution Method"

"This!" Browsing the information in his mind, Alan was a little excited and speechless!

The system has the function of scanning the data and sorting out useful information. But I didn't expect that I could sort out so many good things from the few books I bought casually, and the old mercenary who had to sell these books was serving the inherited knowledge of the forces that accidentally disappeared in history.

This is still sorted out in the severely fragmented materials, and if the knowledge recorded in the book is complete, it can be comparable to the ordinary Viscount family inheritance.

Even now, although the incomplete content that Eren got was much worse than that of the Gefa family, the lord of Blacklin Town, there was also an east where the Gefa family did not live.

That is the potion formula, because there is no potion produced by the Gefa family, and Alan who has the formula can try to formulate the potion under the detailed information of the system.

With this knowledge, the recipes for those potions allowed Alan to make potions for his own use and sell them. But wait until you have the opportunity to buy professional tools, which are not sold in town.

The appearance of the Ten Sons Sword Technique can improve Allen's strength. Because Eren has always been fighting with the basic sword technique, the appearance of the Ten Sons Sword Technique can better cooperate with the [Frost Bone Greatsword] to fight.

And that contract is used to subdue the demonic beast. It is a mutually equal contract, and after it is signed, the two parties can be linked.

The last [Beast Tooth Shield] evolution method is of little use to Allen, so he can only wait for a suitable opportunity to deal with it in the future.

I digested the information in my mind and rubbed my head. Alan hugged the languid panther who had been on his shoulder.

Probably because of his personality, after coming to the crowded town, the panther became lazy and unwilling to move.

Alan put the panther on the ground, squatted down in front of it and said, "Come on, don't resist later!" ”

"Meow!" The panther meowed back.

Alan put his right index finger in his mouth and bit it, then put the bleeding finger on the panther's forehead.

"The soul is the oath, the blood is the lead! Coexist as equals and watch over each other! ”

As the incantation came out of Alan's mouth, the blood on his fingers glowed red and slowly disappeared on the panther's forehead.

"Meow!" As if sensing something, the panther moved a few times with some uneasiness.

"Don't be afraid, Panther! I'm not going to hurt you. Alan comforted when he saw this.

With Allen's comfort, the panther regained its composure until the red light was completely inside its forehead.

Suddenly, Alan felt that he had an invisible connection with the panther for one more day, allowing him to vaguely sense some of its emotions.

Such as attachment to oneself, indifference to the things around you, and so on!

"Meow! Meow! "The panther also felt a feeling that he didn't have before.

With a whoosh, he shifted back onto Alan's shoulder and rubbed his head against Alan's face.

"That's it! All right! "It's tickling for Allen.

Playing with the panther in the room for a while, unimportant clothes and the like are left in the room.

Eren was out again, and the panther was still on his shoulder. It seems that he treats it as a nest, if it weren't for his strength, he would really be unbearable like this all day.

This time, Alan is going to go to the tavern where the mercenaries gather, find some suitable tasks, and improve his strength while making money.

At the same time, it was almost noon, so I would like to eat something by the way. He had been eating simple food in the cemetery for two months, and he had to treat himself to something delicious.

Going downstairs to inquire about the people in the restaurant, Alan walked out the door towards the tavern.

The tavern is not far from the restaurant, and it didn't take long to arrive.

"Wine and sword! Well, the name fits the atmosphere of the Mercenary Tavern well. ”

Looking at the tavern's sign, Alan muttered to himself.

Without stopping, Alan pushed open the door and went in.

"Come on! Cheers! ”

"That mission, let me tell you..."

"East of town..."

………

Moment! It's as if Alan has entered a new world. Noisy voices filled his ears, and the smell of wine, Han, and a faint smell of blood also came to his face.

The tavern was set up with solid wood tables where people of all ages and appearances were eating food and talking. A few waiters wandered around, delivering food and drink.

In the innermost part, there is a bar counter. On the wall behind the counter are a large number of wooden signs with words written on them.

Some of the mercenaries were in front of the counter checking the information on the wooden card, and finally talked to the staff at the counter to take it down.
