Chapter 21: Tracking (Part 2)

Perhaps the god of knowledge and wisdom was really on his side, and he succeeded in making a charm for the first time. While using up the brain slices of the Manhaas monkey completely, I got two brass charms again!

At seven o'clock in the evening, with the newly made five charms in his hand, Abner followed the teacher to the party apartment in the back alley of the Brave Bar, and this time he didn't have to say anything more about it, but found a comfortable single sofa to sit down and wait for the attendees to arrive.

Minutes and seconds passed, and after half past seven, the people who attended the party also arrived one after another. Among them are the lady who bought his 'soothsayer' formula, according to the teacher, her code name is 'Poison Rose', her status should not be low, and her hands are very generous; there is the lady who always sells extraordinary weapons, she has no clear code name, but everyone calls her 'artisan agent'; and some people called 'black snake' and 'spider', all of them are very dangerous guys, and the teacher said that they can get out of control at any time......

At eight o'clock, Detective Issinger, wearing a mask and pretending to be an 'eye of wisdom', glanced at the masked people sitting around the living room, and said with a smile:

"There are a lot of people here today, and there are even new friends, hehe, everyone is welcome."

"So. Let's get started. ”

As soon as his words fell, the lady of the 'craftsman' spoke first:

"I have two weapons with extraordinary effects, and they are both very portable."

"One is the 'Ice Claw', which allows the user to obtain a relatively strong self-healing ability, which can increase the user's strength and reaction by a small amount, and greatly improve agility. At the same time, when the claw hits the target, there is a 50% chance that the opponent will be poisoned by an unknown toxin, and there is a 15% chance that the opponent will be frozen with ice. ”

"It's all done experiments, and it's summed up from a lot of data."

"It can also be used for a year, 450 pounds, or the 'barbarian' potion recipe."

This 'Ice Claw' is good, it should be made of materials from the body of an extraordinary person in the xenopathic path, if it weren't for the effect of only 1 year, I'm afraid it would be more than that......

As Abner commented on his mind, someone else asked, "Does it have any negative effects?" ”

"Yes! Its negative effect is that the user loses some of their sanity when used under a full moon, but its power is greatly increased! The lady replied first, and then, without waiting for anyone else to ask, continued: "The second weapon is a 'cane sword', which usually looks like a gold-trimmed iron-hearted wooden cane, but as long as you chant 'unsheathed' in ancient Hermesian, it can be immediately transformed into a general's saber of the Rune system about 95 centimeters long. In the cane posture it has little extraordinary ability, just very heavy, very strong, and difficult to destroy; However, once in the longsword form, it increases the user's strength and agility, and allows the user to reduce the effects of some supernatural powers with their body. ”

"This weapon has almost no negative effects except for being a little heavy, but it can only last less than half a year before it completely solidifies into a cane form. So it's only Β£180. ”

The crowd apparently preferred the first 'Ice Claw' and shouted for it, which was eventually bought for Β£550 by the lady codenamed 'Poison Brier'.

Abner, on the other hand, took a fancy to the cane sword. This is not only because he can't afford the 'Ice Claw', but more importantly, this weapon can just make up for his lack of strength at this stage, which can give him the initial strength to protect himself. After all, although the revolver is good, it is in vain to miss it, and a long sword that can increase strength and agility combined with his improved rapid fighting skills is indeed like a tiger.

"Cane sword, 190 pounds!" While Abner was still analyzing the pros and cons, someone was already shouting for the second weapon.

Abner's heart tightened, and he hurriedly followed the price increase: "200 pounds." ”

The man who quoted before was silent for a few seconds, shrugged his shoulders directly and said:

"Well, it's yours."

Abner only had some recollection at this time, and said to himself: Isn't this a childcare?

However, whether it was or not, the item had been sold, and he had to pay for the goods. Fortunately, this is the weapon he wants, and it is not a loss, and the other party is probably afraid that he will add too much and smash it in his own hands, so he will accept it when he sees it.

The Eye of Wisdom amusefully assessed the weapon's effects to his student, then nodded to him, indicating that the effects were basically true.

After the delivery of Β£200, Abner's fortune had shrunk to Β£233. This is still because the daily room and board and rituals are saved at the teacher's house.

"Looks like I'm really going to have to sell a few charms to get back the money."

Thinking so, Abner took out three brass charms from his arms before anyone could speak, he looked around, and said succinctly: "The 'Words of Chaos' spell can make the opponent's brain chaotic for a second or two after it is opened, and even the strong in the middle sequence will be in a trance. The statute of limitations is half a year, 30 pounds each, a total of three. ”

The so-called 'Words of Confusion' was the name that Abner gave to the charm on the way here, and in his mind, how could he sell it for a good price without a good name? In terms of effect, it is the same consideration to say 'chaos', not 'overload', you must know that there are also illiterate people among the extraordinary, and it would be bad if there were local tyrants who couldn't understand it?

This kind of thing that could dominate the opponent turned out to be very attractive as the teacher expected, and the price was raised, and in the end, the 'poison brier' lady bought one for 50 pounds, the 'black snake' for 45 pounds, and the last one was bought by a new gentleman for 55 pounds, who, like Abner last time, was improvised by Caspars.

Abner, who had sold three charms for 150 pounds, suddenly felt that he was generous again, but unfortunately, the next few transactions involving the main materials of Sequence 7 potions made him realize the fact that he was poor again......

……

After the party, Abner did not go home with the teacher immediately, but went back to the Brave Bar. He had encountered a resentful ghost suspected of Miss Sharon during the day, so he wanted to ask Caspars about it.

Caspers was eating, drinking, and merry, as always, when he saw Abner coming, as if he had expected it, he spoke directly: "That young lady has no ill will towards you, and even helped you clean up the traces left behind." If you still have doubts, you can go to the house of cards No. 2 to find MariΔ‡, where he and his buddies are playing cards. ”

Abner opened his mouth, and found that Caspars had answered all the questions he wanted to ask, so he coughed in disguise and whispered, "When did you get involved with such a dangerous person?" ”

Hearing this, Caspas stopped playing and said quietly: "My competitor has recently had a new backer, and I have to find someone to check and balance. ”

Abner heard the helplessness in his words, and could only sigh: it is not easy to do anything. It's a pity that he can't protect himself now, and he has no ability to cover others.

As for asking Marić? Abner never thought about it! What can be asked when the strength is not equal? Even the protagonist of the original book, Klein, was impressed by the two of the temperance faction after he crossed the level and killed Master Luo in sequence 5.

After a few games of billiards at the bar, Abner found time to make his way to the Grant clothing store in Jowood. After only five or six minutes of waiting at the corner of the intersection, he saw a figure sneak out of the clothing store.

The figure looked left and right in the street before heading southeast.

"Is this figure Mr. Grant? Well, looking at the body shape, it does look familiar......"

Abner waited for a moment, and then kept up with the other man, trying to see where he was going and what he was doing.

"When he walks, he keeps looking around, which shows that he is actually very nervous, for fear of being bumped into. And he had almost no sense of anti-reconnaissance, so much so that I didn't even notice it when I was so close......"

As he thought this, Abner turned a corner following the figure in the distance, and then he was dumbfounded. Because it's a four-way intersection and there are no street lights!

Under the thick haze of Beckland, the moonlight was almost as hazy as if there was nothing, and the visibility was outrageous! In this case, he had absolutely no idea which way Mr. Grant had taken......

"He doesn't have anti-reconnaissance awareness, but my reconnaissance skills don't seem to be very good......" Abner was stunned and self-examined, so he had to choose a random fork and walk in.

After two more blocks and still no sign of Mr. Grant, Abner had to admit that he had lost his ......

"This ...... It's a shame! Fortunately, Jane and Hugh didn't know. He sighed, then gave up the struggle and walked towards Detective Issinger in Hilston.

……

"What? Didn't find a clue? Or was it discovered? Detective Isenger asked with some curiosity when he saw his student returning dejectedly.

"Neither...... It's too dark...... I'm lost......," replied Abner hesitantly.

"It seems that not only will the occult knowledge be remedied, but the detective course should also be on the agenda in a few days." Detective Issinger said after taking a deep puff on his pipe. At this level, how can he be embarrassed to say that he is a student of his great detective Isenger?

Abner was speechless, but he thought in his heart: Even if he immediately made up for the investigation knowledge, he would not have time to make up with Jane, and it seemed that he had to find another way!

His eyes rolled, and he quickly had an idea.

So, when Abner and Hugh met in a small restaurant on the East End the next morning, he solemnly made a request to each other:

"Hugh, can you do me a favor?"

"What's the busy?" Hugh asked subconsciously.

"Around 11 o'clock tonight, help me follow a guy and see what he's doing!"
