Chapter 46: The Negative Effects of the Ring of Prediction
Hearing the 200-pound offer, the people in the secret room were very excited, this money was enough to buy a Sequence 9 or even Sequence 8 main material, and the payment was just a piece of news.
It's not that no one wants to make up a fake information to cheat the money, but the person who thinks so looks at Mr. Gaston sitting on the main seat, and thinks that this gentleman must have the ability to identify the authenticity of the information among the many extraordinary items in his hand, so he dispelled this idea.
And the reason why Abner quoted such a high price was actually to attract the attention of the tall lady. It is always easier to gain the trust of the other party by letting her find herself than by going to her by herself.
Through reasoning and analysis, he had come to the conclusion that the lady would go to the dragon's eye python for revenge. And the targeted weapons that the other party exchanged for at the party were obviously unsatisfactory, and the fault tolerance rate was too low. Moreover, she had experienced a failed adventure, and it was difficult to come up with any more money to form a new team.
At this time, a 'wronged leader' who wants to find a longan python and pays a lot of money can obviously get her attention and 'favor'.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Abner made 500 pounds for nothing, and he was a little floating for the time being, and before that, he wanted to put 'bait', and he would never give 200 pounds.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence in the secret room, the tall lady suppressed her voice and said, "I have the exact clues of the dragon's eye python, but it's not convenient to talk about these here!" With that, she looked at Mr. Gaston in the throne and asked, "May I ask for a safe place to be alone with this gentleman after the meeting?" ”
"It's a trifle!" Mr. Gaston nodded naturally, and as if he did not recognize Abner, he asked him, "Friend, do you agree to communicate alone with this lady?" ”
Abner, of course, was more relieved, with Mr. Gaston watching, if he had the heart, he would have blackened the lady and blackened it without anyone knowing. Of course, he would not have done such a tasteless thing, and Mr. Gaston certainly would not have connived at him. As for Hugh, with such a strong sense of justice, she is afraid that she will turn her face on the spot.
"I'm fine." Abner nodded at the tall lady.
After that, Hugh offered to buy the right palm of the 'Silver White War Bear', and the bid was also very expensive, but unfortunately no one answered......
As the minutes ticked by, and seeing that no one had made a deal, Mr. Gaston declared the meeting over and began to arrange for the people to leave one by one, trying to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Half an hour later, there were only three members of the congregation left in the chamber, except for Gaston on the throne, namely Abner, Hugh, and the tall lady.
Mr. Gaston looked at the three of them, and deliberately simulated an old voice:
"Come with me, I'll take you to a safe place."
The tall lady frowned and subconsciously glanced at Hugh.
"This is my companion!" Abner explained.
Because Abner and Hugh were dressed similarly, the tall lady obviously expected it, and only nodded with a slight hesitation, acquiescing to Hugh's presence.
Mr. Gaston led the three of them down from another secret exit in the chamber, making a few turns in between, until they came to a large underground cavern, and then stopped.
"It seems that Mr. Gaston made a hole under this town in order to find the door of the dream!" Abner teased in his heart and then asked the lady, "Now can you tell me about the information about the dragon-eyed python?" ”
Seeing that Mr. Gaston had already walked into another cave next to her, the lady said, "I know the specific whereabouts of the dragon-eyed python, and I can even give you detailed information...... But I have a request, take me with you when you go to deal with it, and I want its python skin! For this, I can charge you only £100 for intelligence. ”
The two vengeful thugs also earned 100 pounds...... This lady is really calculating! But who makes this a seller's market? Abner had actually agreed in his heart, but he still pretended to hesitate and hesitated for a long time before he reluctantly agreed, and said, "Yes, we will go to Mr. Gaston to 'notarize'!" ”
"Wait!" The lady interrupted again, "I still need to know your strength, that giant python is dangerous, I don't want to send it to death!" ”
"What? Do you want to verify it yourself? Abner smiled and shook his head, according to Gwen's Cave Adventures, this lady is just a Sequence 9, if nothing else, with the 'Sea Breeze Hat' on his head, he can beat the other party.
"It's better to be able to fight!" The lady felt the confidence in Abner's words, and she clenched her fists, refusing to flinch.
Hugh stepped forward at this time and said, "I'll fight you a few times!" With that, she sat down on the spot and took out the booster pad from her shoe, which was affecting the play.
The lady looked at the girl whose face was covered in oil paint, but at most it was up to her chest, and kindly reminded, "I am the 'warrior' of Sequence 9, you have to be careful. ”
Hugh stood up again, nodded, and said succinctly, "Arbiter." ”
Because it was a scramble, the two women did not use weapons, so they took a stride, came to the left hand side of the female warrior at great speed, and swooped down to hit each other's knees! Originally, this trick was used to hit the ribs or kidneys, but the female warrior was too tall, and she had to settle for the next best thing.
The female warrior didn't expect Hugh to be so agile, and although she was a little flustered, she still responded effectively, raising her left leg to meet Hugh's elbow, wanting to kick her away directly.
But then, as if Hugh had known that she would do so, his body dodged the attack in a strange and awkward position, but his elbow struck the opponent slightly upwards on the lower abdomen.
Although the strength is not heavy, it is obvious that the winner has been divided.
"I lost!" The tall lady was not someone who couldn't afford to lose, she lowered her head and said with some frustration.
After Hugh retreated for a distance, he looked at the other party, thought for a while, and said: "You should not have systematically trained knights before, although you have the skills and knowledge directly instilled by potions, but there is still a gap between the awareness of battle and that of regular knights. Otherwise, I wouldn't have won so easily. ”
"I didn't expect Hugh to have times when he lied without blinking...... "Abner saw it clearly from behind, the other party should indeed be from a wild road, but she has experienced a lot of adventures, if she has a poor sense of fighting, it is possible, but it is definitely not to the point of being killed by Hugh almost instantly! Hugh may have used the 'Ring of Prediction' in his previous attack in order to deter the opponent with a quick victory!
Whether it's the speed of the rush beyond ordinary people, or the anticipation of attacks, and the exaggerated body distortion when dodging, they all borrow the power of the 'Joker'. Only the panic of the other party in the face of the surprise attack may be the 'majesty' of the arbiter at work.
The lady of the 'warrior' sequence was only depressed for a moment, and then she adjusted herself, and this time she and Abner called Mr. Gaston for a 'notarization of the contract', and after agreeing in detail and clearly on the rights and obligations of both parties, she spoke:
"The dragon's eye python is in the underground cavern of a small island I explored earlier. The location of the island is more than 200 nautical miles southeast of Damir. It was a desert island, and there were no ships navigating it. At this, she glanced at Abner and said with some embarrassment, "I would like you to pay me an advance of 30 pounds, I need to re-recruit sailors...... After my last adventure, the battle squad I had formed was killed, and the sailors who remained on the ship were terrified and refused to follow me. ”
She didn't immediately reveal the exact coordinates of the island, in case Abner left her and found someone to go it alone.
"So you're still a captain...... "Abner suddenly realized that he couldn't venture around without his own ship.
"Yes, although my 'Allenheim' is a sailing boat that is ahead of its time, one day I will become a great adventurer like Lady Edwina!" The tall lady said wistfully.
"Since it has been 'notarized', there is no problem with the advance of 30 pounds." Abner drew three 10-pound bills and gave them to him, and asked, "Where will we meet later?" ”
"At six o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow, at the 'stone platform' west of Damir." The tall lady replied after a moment's thought.
……
After the tall lady came out of the underground cavern with 30 pounds in cash, the three Abner returned to the school's dormitory.
After removing the disguise, Mr. Gaston said unhurriedly: "Although this lady has only been near Damir for about two weeks, she has a good reputation. Except for the accident last time, everyone who has worked with her is more satisfied with her. ”
Abner had already cleaned up the oil paint on his face at this time, changed back into his formal clothes, and complimented him with a smile: "With the effect of your 'notarization', even if she really has ideas, she will have some scruples." ”
"'Notarization' is not omnipotent, demigods, and even part of Sequence 5 can resist its power." Mr. Gaston shook his head.
As they spoke, Hugh came out clean and clean, but as soon as she appeared, Abner froze, and he tried to control his face so that he did not make any rude expressions.
"What's wrong?" Hugh asked, puzzled.
Instead of speaking, Abner dragged her to a half-length mirror in the room.
Hugh raised his eyes and saw that his brain immediately went blank.
Because Hugh reflected in the mirror at this moment has a grotesque expression of squinting eyes and pouting on his face, which is a copy of the 'funny' in Abner's previous life emoji!
This is the negative effect of using the 'Ring of Prediction', and it was not obvious when the oil paint was painted on the face just now, but now it is only after washing it that the 'true face' is revealed.
