Chapter 60: Keita's Magic Shop
The familiar lamppost, surrounded by pitch black, no object to be seen, no sound to be heard, the pillar of light emitted by the lamppost just shrouded Ronin.
It was a dream scene, and soon two giant decks of poker appeared, one of which had been turned over, and it was the Artisan card that had been obtained from the Cursed One.
Whenever you encounter a great crisis, you will come here?
Ronin stood in the pillar of light and stared at the two cards, finally focusing on another giant playing card that had not yet been revealed.
Knowing what the other card does, what is the purpose of the remaining playing card.
After a moment's hesitation, he walked forward slowly, reached out and clicked on the playing card that had not yet been opened, and immediately a gate appeared, and the gate was pitch black.
Standing in the doorway, he hesitated for a long time, and finally raised his foot and stepped in.
Stepping into the door, there was a "pop" sound behind him.
Now it's too late to turn back, Luo Ning is a lot more down-to-earth, looking at the darkness around him, and after a while, a bright light suddenly appears, coming from his right side.
Quickly turn to the right where the light is coming from.
A chubby old man with a Mediterranean haircut stood in front of a counter with a mottled lacquer finish, one elbow resting on the counter and his fist resting on his cheek, the other retracting from the equally mottled and worn lamp.
After the hand that pressed the switch of the lamp was withdrawn, he raised it again, pointing upwards and staring at the young man.
"Welcome back to the Alchemist Keita's Magic Shop, which has countless magic potions to help you out."
Luo Ning looked over the fingers of the old man's right hand and saw that a clean-wiped wooden sign read Keita's Little Magic Shop.
Behind this deck of cards is a small shop!
Keita stood up straight, picked up a bottle of wine from the counter behind her, poured a glass and pushed it to the young man on the counter.
"Dear Mr. Austin, you're in trouble again, you need something this time, if you don't know, describe the situation, and I'll recommend the best thing for you."
This guy knows himself, and he said the word "again" earlier......
Luo Ning frowned and looked at the old man behind the counter, and after a while, he sat down on the only high chair in front of the counter, picked up the glass of wine and drank it down.
It was wine, but the barren history of drinking red wine made him unable to tell whether the wine was good or bad, and put down the glass and pushed it back to the old man.
"Have we met or known each other before?"
With an eerie smile on her face, Keita Sr. took the empty glass back and placed it on the cabinet behind her, then turned around.
"I remember the last time you asked me this question was probably the 322nd time we met, and now it's our 604th meeting."
Luo Ning was stunned.
"Have we met so many times?"
Keita nodded, as if to prove that he was not lying, and deliberately took a small notebook from the cabinet behind him, flipped it a few times, and put it in front of the young man.
It recorded many access records, and even had his own signature, which was exactly the same as his own, not like a forgery.
Have you really been here? It's weird, and it's the first time I've pushed this card.
Pushing the notebook back, remembering the old man's words, Luo Ning described the troubles he was currently encountering, and how to get here later.
Old Keita thought for a moment, then took a small bottle of potion from the cabinet behind him and pushed it over on the counter.
"This bottle of magic immunity potion you use, as long as you take it, you can be immune to the magic used by the other party, and it lasts for about twenty minutes."
The liquid inside the vial is pink and transparent.
According to the old man's description, he was caught in some kind of sonic magic, Luo Ning picked up the potion and looked at it, there is no other way now, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.
Of course, there was payment for taking things in the shop, and he took out the money bag from his bosom, and there was not much money left in it.
"How much?"
The old man looked at the money bag in the young man's hand with a smile on his face, raised his right hand, stretched out his right index finger and swung it.
"I don't accept anything like that here."
Luo Ning was stunned, and shook the money bag when he came back to his senses, making a crisp sound.
"I don't have gold, I don't have RMB, and I don't have a knife, so if you don't take this, I won't have the money to pay you."
The old man snapped his fingers.
"You have, I'll take anything here, like your time."
He turned around and took out a clear bottle from the cupboard, about the size of a beer bottle, and shook it for a moment, which contained half a bottle of sand-like object, but it was colored.
"This is the amount of time you used to spend every time you buy something, and that bottle of magic immunity potion will take about half a year."
Not only have I been here, but I have also used time to buy a lot of things, Luo Ning looked at the bottle the size of a wine bottle, and finally understood that the so-called time here refers to life, but the things in the bottle don't look like time.
Luo Ning smiled.
"If you can deduct half a year's life from me and put it in a bottle, then let's do it, anyway, I'll take this bottle of potion with me."
Old Keita nodded, shook the bottle in front of the young man, and then took it back and put it on the cabinet behind him.
"Okay, you've already paid, the way to use the magic elixir is to drink it now, and the time starts from the second you drink it."
This old man lied to himself, Luo Ning was amused, picked up the reagent bottle in his hand, uncorked the bottle, and was about to drink it all when he saw the reflection on the bottle and couldn't help but be stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, he immediately looked at the old man.
"Do you have a mirror here, can you borrow one?"
The old man shrugged, took another bronze mirror from the cabinet behind him, put it on the counter, and pushed it in front of the young man.
Luo Ning looked at the face in the bronze mirror, his skin had not changed much, but the mouth was covered with thick stubble, about a centimeter long.
Although there was a little bit of stubble before, it was not obvious, but now it is ......
The old man didn't lie, he really took half a year's life, and the colored sand in the bottle was indeed a person's lifespan.
I don't know if a small bottle of magic free potion is really useful, and now I have lost half a year's longevity for this bottle of elixir.
Touching the embarrassing stubble, Luo Ning was a little painful.
After coming back to his senses, he no longer dared to look down at the old man in front of him, regretting that it was obviously too late, he took his eyes off the mirror, and half-convinced picked up the magic elixir and swallowed it.
Feeling unwell and putting the bottle back on the counter, Ronin asked.
"How do you leave?"
The old man stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction he had just entered, and when Luo Ning turned around, he saw that the door was open, and the street lamp could be seen outside the door.
took a step, Luo Ning really felt that this deal was too much of a loss, and turned around and came back to ask for a little giveaway.
Before he could speak, the old man smiled, and took out a decent-looking, somewhat quaint steel sword from the cabinet behind him and put it on the counter.
"I knew you wouldn't trade at a loss, and I always asked me to give some gadgets every time I finished shopping."
You know this again?
Luo Ning looked shocked, picked up the steel sword on the counter, and waved it a few times.
Keita Sr. said a word she didn't understand, and patiently explained.
"This is a spell, as long as you finish reciting the steel sword, it will disappear automatically, and when you use it, you can take it out by reciting the spell I just now."
Luo Ning no longer dared to doubt the old man's words, and learned to describe the strange words that the old man had just said.
"Valadou, Atuba."
The steel sword disappeared from his hand, so he read it again, and the steel sword reappeared.
It's magical!
He turned around and went out from the door with the steel sword, and when he turned back again, he immediately saw that the card had recovered to the back side, and he couldn't see the pattern, so he stepped forward and wanted to push it away, but the giant playing card maintained the back pattern no matter how he pushed it, and he couldn't see the door.
Standing in the light and closing his eyes, soon a clear whisper came to his ears.
"Damn it, broke my specimen."
It was Solvay, Ronin opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw Solvay lying on the ground holding his heart in his hands and getting up cautiously.
Entering that lamplight space and then coming out of Solvay to pick up the heart meant that no matter how long it existed in that space, only a few seconds would be spent in the real world, as Duke's experience could attest.
The heart that was being held made a "thump" sound, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
And every time Solvay curses, the "thump" sound of the heart suddenly intensifies, and there is a connection between the two.
Solvay's heart was not in his body, but in an urn, and the heart he was holding now belonged to him, which was not corrupted.
No wonder Solvay's heartbeat had not been heard before, it turned out that no one would have thought that someone's heart could be stripped of its original existence, even if this kind of thing happened to the cursed.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that Solvay had placed the heart in an iron box, and he was silently chanting something into the iron box, which should be a spell.
Without having time to think about it, Luo Ning quickly got up and aimed at the box where the heart was placed and pulled the trigger.
"Bang"
The shell hit the box and immediately bounced off and did not penetrate.
Hearing the crisp sound, Solvay shouted "no", covered the box with his body, and then turned his head to look at the young man who stood up again behind him, looking shocked.
"You're still alive, damn it, if I hadn't just cast a spell, your specimen would have been ruined by you."
He turned around, roared in rage, and repeated his previous move, lying on the ground with a strange "cooing" sound in his throat.
That kind of magic again, Luo Ning secretly prayed that the potion would work.
When Solvay's actions were over, he noticed that there was nothing unusual about the young man, and he showed a look of sudden realization.
"Magic immunity, I'll have to find another way to deal with you."
Solvay quickly moved to another cabinet, took two bottles of potion and flasks, filled them into his mouth, and chewed them with a crunching sound.
Luo Ning knew those two potions, which were the power potion and the defense potion.
Solvay's giant attribute card proves that his strength attribute was instantly increased to 6 rough stones, and his defense attribute was also increased to 6 rough stones.
Tersu had spent a lot of money on the organization's magic books, including the Silver Brotherhood's potion recipes, and it was no surprise to have them.
Now Solvay's power and defense have increased, and it's not just magic attacks.
However, the chest containing the opponent's Achilles' heel has already applied magic and cannot be pierced with a pistol, which means that the opponent cannot be killed.
And it can be seen from this that the magic flask is only immune to offensive magic, and the defensive magic applied to enemy units is still useful, so it cannot penetrate chests.
Fighting in a small space here, his strength and defense are relatively ordinary, and now he is obviously no match for Solvay, who has already taken potions.
You have to escape from here first, find the terrain that is favorable to you, and avoid losses!
After deciding to look at Solvay, who was rummaging through the cabinet for weapons, Ronin quickly leaned over and rolled on the ground, rolled to the iron door leading to the sewer, and pulled the trigger in succession.
"Bang Bang Bang"
After three gunshots, the three iron locks opened, reached out to open the deadbolt, pushed open the iron door and rushed out.
As you run through the sewers, you can hear the sound of scolding behind you and the sound of behemoths moving quickly in the sewer sewage.
Ronin could walk on the elevated platform on the sewer side without wading or making a sound, but Solvay was so strange and large that he couldn't walk on the elevated platform on the other side at all, so he could only wade through water.
This is to their advantage.
Walking quickly on a high platform, the sound of wading behind you is constantly approaching, and the other party's speed is faster than your own.
At this time, there is a squeaky sound nearby.
Luo Ning hesitated for a moment to reach the place where the squeaking sound was made, and quickly observed, the two mice were looking at him.
After a moment's thought, he came up with a brilliant idea.
Look up at the two rats.
"I'm a friend of Franklin, I've come to the sewers this time to solve your companions' berserk troubles, now call your companions to the room that will drive your companions crazy, find a wooden box with bullet marks, open the wooden box and destroy the heart inside, hurry up, I will lure you away from the monsters that can drive you crazy."
The two rats immediately hurried away.
Now I can only pin my hope on those rats, which is the greatest help to me from the abilities I have acquired so far.
Calming down, listening to the sound of wading in the water that began to gradually move away again, Luo Ning took the initiative to provoke.
"Solvay, follow me."
The sound of wading quickly approached, and the target took the bait.
Ronin turned and ran wildly towards the entrance where he came, and he had to get Solvay off the sewers and buy time for the rats.
The only thing to expect is that the crate will not be immune to rat bites!
The sound of wading behind him was getting closer and closer, and when Luo Ning ran to the place where he entered the sewer, he couldn't help frowning when he looked at the top where no light had entered.
"The lid on the sewer has been resealed."
The worst thing is that the effect of the last bottle of psychotropic potion has disappeared!
At this moment, there was a hideous laugh behind him.
"You can't go anywhere...... You'll be one of my specimens later. ”
