"10 elemental crystals, change a set of matching secret texts, speaking of which, I seem to have lost a bit of a loss in this transaction."

Eddie, the fat black man, said, patting the stack of pamphlets on the table.

"What's more, I even wanted you to pick one of these; Your God, who can bear witness, is a rare merchant as generous as I am. ”

Charles was noncommittal about what he said, and he picked up one of them and opened it to see that there were only some freshly copied small characters, and when he looked down and smelled it, there was a faint scent of ink on it.

He couldn't help but look at the fat black man with a sad face.

"How much more do you want for a sure-fire deal?" The owner of the watch shop said what Charles muttered secretly, and he laughed and said, "That is, there are not many newcomers in our small place, otherwise you would have made a fortune with this." ”

"You can't say that, it's also risky for me to exchange this thing for money, don't you know how strict our rules are, old man?"

Eddie retorted loudly, but he didn't continue to dwell on this issue, but looked at Charles and said: "Flame, Storm, and Thunder, three sets of initial protection secrets, for a rookie like you, you can choose one." But let's get back to it, boy, it's time to get down to business. ”

"Business?"

Charles had brought those dragon crystals with him when he came yesterday, so it wasn't surprising that this person had brought this trade item right now.

Just, what did he say about the right thing?

Charles couldn't help but look at the owner, although he was also unfamiliar with this old man with monocles, but compared to the black uncle with a meaty face, this one was more reassuring.

"Eddie has a way to help your sister stay alive, but it's expensive."

The old man said, glancing at the big bag that Charles had brought in, and couldn't help blinking.

"It's all keels here?"

"That's right."

"Where did you get so many keels?"

"I picked it up on the side of the road when I went on a mission." Charles said without blushing or panting, "That's all there is to it, I'm afraid I won't have enough, so I've brought it all." ”

"Picked up ......," the old man glanced at him wordlessly.

If you don't want to say it, you don't want to say it, and you still pick it up......

"If you have this kind of large quantity of goods again, you can notify me, and I will send someone to pick it up, so you don't have to bother to carry it."

"Thank you, I wish I still had." Charles feigned regret and sighed.

He wasn't completely lying when he said this, although there would definitely be a lot of dragonbones to be found in the Ice and Fire World, but there was still a certain risk in rashly taking them out for money.

Because he doesn't have a plausible explanation for the appearance of these things.

It's okay to cash out once or twice, and you can also lie about the family wealth that you have inadvertently obtained or accumulated before, and there are many times, even if you are stupid, you have to wonder if he has any special secrets or mysterious channels.

Due to the existence of the church, Charles does not seem to be afraid that the two people in front of him and the forces behind them have thoughts about this, but what if it is the church itself?

What if the church itself discovers that secret?

Will they still be as kind as they are now?

Charles didn't dare bet.

So, in order not to happen, his actions at this time are basically the last time to cash in - at least until a reasonable explanation is found.

With the blessing of the Tongue of Oaths, Charles's words and deeds at this time could not be seen to be false at all, so the old man did not suspect anything, but shook his head regretfully.

"Okay, let me weigh how many there are, you can discuss the details of the deal now, if you can't negotiate, then tell me, you still have a lot of options, so you can be tough, um."

As he spoke, he glanced at Eddie and said, "As a member of the church, you probably don't need to be afraid of this Flame Heart's bastard pit your gold pounds, so let the conversation go." ”

"Old man, you should be careful when you speak, what is a bastard?" Eddie muttered dissatisfiedly, but his eyes glanced at the young man who was looking down to read the booklet, and seeing his absent-minded appearance, he hurriedly proposed, "Okay, let's talk, Bloodline Curse?" ”

"That's right." Charles looked up and nodded.

"What does your church say?"

"It can be solved, but you'll have to wait for someone to come up, so it's going to take some time." Charles was telling the truth, but his tone sounded so light-hearted that Eddie couldn't help but snort when he heard it.

"Fuck, if you say it's solved, it's good."

"It's okay." Charles didn't really think that he would be so happy when he went to find the monk, but he wouldn't explain anything to this person, and put the booklet in his hand back on the table for the time being, and he asked curiously, "Are you afraid of the church?" ”

"I'm so scared that I'm not afraid." Eddie sat on the chair in front of the counter and moved his fat body, and said, "I all know the rules of your church, in fact, as long as you don't deal with that group of dirty things, ordinary people will not provoke the church." So I'm not afraid of being purified by you one day, but. After a pause, the meaty-faced black uncle grinned at Charles.

"It's better not to provoke or not to provoke."

"Why? I don't think we're necessarily really good, you see, we can't solve this problem. Charles feigned helplessness. Half truth, half temptation.

No one noticed the temptation implied in Charles's tone, so Eddie was very calm about it, and because of this rare big deal, the fat black man who was not good-tempered was full of patience at the moment, and he snorted: "The church in Pita City is really not very good, but you can't stand up to having a backstage, and you are very united." ”

"Countless histories have proven that people in the church should never be provoked. Beat the small one and the old one, the old one was beaten away, and then the older one was beaten away, and the older one ran away, good guys, a group of old guys from the grandmother generation just hit up, can't beat again? Here, summon an angel, summon a Pegasus knight, how about an archangel? It's especially good to fight......"

"Layer by layer, and finally forced your Pope to be anxious, and even the trick of summoning the Lord of Thorns God Punishment to come to the world can be played, how do you say this makes us mess up?"

“……”

"He's exaggerating, but it's basically appropriate." The old man, who was carrying the balance and weighing it, also raised his eyes and echoed it.

...... God punishes you?

Hearing all this, Charles didn't know what kind of expression he was experiencing.

He secretly wanted to cry, but the one in front of him thought he should grin, so Charles pulled his lips.

"So why don't you join the church?"

"You don't want to? But by the time I knew the church was powerful, I had no fucking choice. ”

"Don't have a choice? Can't join if you learn other spells? ”

"Of course, what do you think?"

"I thought that anyone with the qualifications to cast spells could join." Charles said, and suddenly asked curiously, "By the way, can spells be cultivated at the same time?" ”

"Part-time? Of course you can," knowing that Charles was a rookie, the black fat man said with a slightly broken mouth: "As far as I know, there are storm apostles who are proficient in thunder and lightning and wind on the side of the Chauvin Empire in Port Thain, and there are also ironmancers who drive both flames and metal on the side of the Steel Blade Empire, and even farther away...... It is said that there are also Scourge shamans and demon rituals in the colony that refine both death and natural magic, but I haven't seen one. ”

"What about church spells?"

"The church? You mean, you also practice ecclesiastical arts? ”

"That's right."

"I thought there should be, but I've never heard of it." Eddie said, glancing at Charles suspiciously, "Why are you asking this?" Can't satisfy you? Want to play something else? ”

"Possibly, but I'm mostly because of this." Charles said, patting the stack of pamphlets on the table. "Your secret texts are not in the same category as my own......"

"Are you worried that these secret texts won't work?"

Eddie scoffed, "It seems that you really haven't been formally taught, okay boy, let me teach you for your Bishop of Thorns." If you know the spells, even the Acid Demon of the Hellbore can use any of the Esoteric Texts here, as it belongs to the level of Zero. ”

"Zero?"

"Even at your current level, you can also call it the beginning zero, the cornerstone of everything, without limits." Eddie said, feeling that the relationship with the current La has been almost stretched, so he coughed dryly and said, "Okay, it's a bit too much, we should talk about business, about your sister......"

Charles asked about the same question, so he was easily distracted. "How are you going to live?"

"I can use spells to steal the flame of life to keep your sister's spiritual flame from being extinguished, although there are certain side effects, but it is the safest, and there are no sequelae."

"What side effects?"

"During the period when her spirit is not extinguished, you must keep an eye on the fire around the altar, and if the fire is extinguished during this period, then your sister will die completely, and there will be ......"

"What else?"

"This spell can only last for 12 days, and when the time comes, even if the fire is not extinguished, you must take the initiative to blow it out."

"Why?"

"Because then the Crimson Forge will find out I'm stealing its power, and then it'll find me on the head. Of course, if that happens, it will devour your sister first, so you should remember this rule. ”

"What is the Crimson Furnace?"

"It's the source of our strength."

"We?"

"It's us, not you."

Saying that, Eddie said a little impatiently: "Okay boy, you just need to know that I have the ability to maintain your sister's life for 12 days, and in terms of side effects, you can also take turns to send servants to guard, it should have no effect on you." What do you think? What do you think? ”

"Sounds like it's okay, but at the price?"

Eddie grinned at this, then turned his head to look at the old man in the watch shop.

"It's 132.75 pounds in total, and it's 1,328 gold pounds in total." The old man said.

Hearing this, the black uncle turned his head and said, "The price is half of this amount." ”

"664 gold pounds?" Charles thought for a moment and looked at the old man in the watch shop.

"Do I have a better choice?"

"If you're willing to pay a lot of money, Eddie's approach is the best."

"Okay." Charles replied, and then he didn't plan to grind any further, and looked at the fat black man, and nodded slowly under his smiling expression.

"Deal."
