Chapter 96: An Extraordinary Gathering After a Long Absence (Part 2)
At eight o'clock in the evening, Abner wore a hooded jacket and an iron mask and entered the apartment where Detective Issinger customarily organized a party on Iron Gate Street.
Since he arrived late, the room was already full.
After a few glances, Abner saw that Lady Poison Rose, Lady Craftsman's Agent, Black Snake, Spider, and other acquaintances were all there, as well as some strangers, at least not in the few meetings he had attended before he left Beckland.
The old gentleman of the "Eye of Wisdom" pretended to be Detective Issinger looked at the wall clock in the room, saw that the time was almost there, and said with a smile: "Today is very complete, you can start." ”
As soon as his voice fell, it was the "craftsman's agent" lady who stood up first and said:
"I'm selling an extraordinary item called 'Confession' and in the form of a black revolver. It can inflict both 'Frost' and 'Black Flame' effects on bullets. When not in use, this revolver can also be in an autonomous and invisible state, so that ordinary people can't see it. The negative effect is that you will be cursed by it every time you use it, and the effect will be very slight at first, almost imperceptible, but if you don't perform a 'purification' ritual, the curse will get deeper and deeper as you continue to use this revolver, and at the end it will accumulate a lot of hard work. ”
"It can also be used for two years for £550, or in exchange for the 'Barbarian's potion recipe."
Confession? This effect is a witch's confession, right? It's scary to think about. Abner muttered secretly, and then thought: The items taken out by this "artisan agent" lady are almost all time-sensitive, which means that they are not made of extraordinary properties or extraordinary materials, but more like she has the means to provide a variety of materials contaminated with "extraordinary breath", and then let the "craftsman" create items with these materials containing extraordinary breath.
"What is the effect of the curse? Looking at the name of this gun, is it a curse that I 'love' it? As Abner pondered, a slightly familiar voice sounded not far from him.
Abner followed the prestige and saw a chubby-faced man raising his hand.
Listen to this tone...... Darkwell? Did he sneak into the teacher's party so quickly?
Because of the obvious features, Abner recognized the fat pharmacist he had only met yesterday at a glance. He didn't dare to look too much, lest someone else find out that he knew him, and turned his attention back to the "craftsman agent" lady.
"You guessed it, the effect of the curse is that you will become more and more inseparable from the revolver, and when the curse erupts, the cursed will dedicate themselves to it and kill themselves by drinking bullets. If you use it a lot, I recommend that you do a 'purification' once a month, and that you should be supervised, as it will affect your judgment and make you not want to 'purify' at all. The lady affirmed the pharmacist's words.
"Huh? Is that really the case? I...... I said it casually. The pharmacist was dumbfounded,
"I want it, £560."
"580 pounds."
"I'll give 590 pounds!"
……
Because this revolver was really powerful and could save the cost of demon hunting bullets, many people participated in the bidding, and in the end it was bought by "Black Snake" for 625 pounds.
Next, some people asked for shopping goods, some people sold goods and sold news, although there were requests and sales, but there were not many transactions that could really be reached, and even the "Wisdom Eye" pretended to be a 500 pound premium to buy the "Tree Heart of the Elder Tree" no one answered, obviously at this level of gathering, the materials of Sequence 6 were still too scarce.
Soon, it was the turn of the "Black Snake", who had just bought the "Confession" revolver, and he said in a low voice: "I have a commission, someone in the docks is inciting the workers to strike, and I need someone to solve the five representatives of the workers who are the first to take the lead without alarming the official extraordinary. I'm willing to pay £100 for that. Witnessed by Mr. 'Wisdom Eye'. ”
Detective Isenger frowned, he didn't want to witness a murder, but just as he could refuse, he heard someone ask.
"Are those five representatives extraordinary?"
"No, that's just five ordinary people." "Black Snake" shook his head.
"100 pounds for killing five ordinary people? You're really not kidding me? The man scoffed.
"Maybe you've misunderstood something, and when I say 'solution' is not to kill those five people, but to make them change their minds 'naturally'. If it's just to kill them, can't I do it myself? "Black Snake" replied, accentuating the tone on "natural".
If that's all there is to it, then it doesn't hurt to witness it...... When Detective Isenger heard this, he swallowed his words of refusal.
"If it's to get a few ordinary people to change their minds, then I can do it." At this time, Ms. "Poison Rose", who was sitting in the corner, spoke.
Abner also took the opportunity to look at the lady who had bought his "soothsayer" formula and sold her teacher a copy of the extraordinary properties of "clown", and found that she still had a slight wheezing sound when she spoke, as if she was having trouble breathing.
The teacher did say before that she looked like she was hurt...... But more than a week has passed, and it hasn't gotten better? I'm afraid this injury is not simple.
Abner glanced thoughtfully at "Poison Rose", and saw that she had signed a contract with "Black Snake" under the notarization of the teacher, and felt that if he had other things to investigate, he would have to go to the docks to watch them in the past few days. And I am afraid that many of the extraordinary people here will think of this.
Ms. "Poison Rose" doesn't seem to be afraid of exposure at all, and she doesn't know which way she is, and how many sequences she is.
After the incident of the "Black Snake", the pharmacist who suspected to be Darkwell stood up, and he opened his hood back, revealing his face wearing an iron-black mask, but the mask only covered the area above the bridge of his nose, making the fat on his cheeks clearly visible, as if shaking.
"I have four precious bottles to sell, two of which are effective in stopping bleeding and promoting wound healing, and believe me, it's better than going to the clinic for a suture surgery that will work within six months." The pharmacist took out a few bottles full of liquid, introduced them in a gulpty manner, and continued:
"The other two bottles, with an expiration date of one and a half months, can make a man regain the impulse he had when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and become an extraordinary person in bed, hehe, you know what I mean, even if it exceeds the expiration date, it will still have the same effect, but from there it will spread to the whole body, and the user will become extremely violent, and the strength, speed and agility will increase dramatically, uh, and fall into weakness after half an hour."
After he finished speaking, the whole room fell into a brief coldness, and it was not until half a minute later that the "Poison Rose" lady spoke: "I want those two bottles of healing potions, you can make a price." ”
"Don't you want these two vials of 'berserk'? If you buy it together, I'll give you a discount! The pharmacist asked with a smile.
"Don't! If you talk nonsense, I won't even buy those two bottles of healing. "Poison Rose," Lady snorted.
"Okay, okay. £20 a bottle. The pharmacist said helplessly.
Then, after a few more trades, it was Abner's turn, and he took out 3 low-level charms, the Sleep Charm, the Underwater Breathing Charm, and the Courage Charm. This brought him a total of £6 in income.
Speaking of which, these three charms were not made by him by praying to the gods, but by praying to the pure white eyes for the power of the "unknown land". The difference is that there is almost no cost to do so, because there is no need to sacrifice the corresponding spiritual materials to please the gods.
Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. First of all, the ability to grant a spell must be completely parsed by the Pure White Eye; Secondly, the power of the spell is also much worse than the spell made by praying to the corresponding god, so it can only be regarded as a low-level version. Among the abilities that Abner has analyzed so far, the power of the skills of the Sun and Tyrant paths is relatively small, and the rest are far behind.
Finally, the higher the ability, the shorter the time that the spell can be retained after being granted, such as the "notarization" of the Sequence 6 level, which can only last for less than an hour, which cannot be sold at all, so Abner only sold three Sequence 9 level charms, at least they can last for about 2 months.
This time the talisman was just to test the water, and the result was not satisfactory to Abner, although they were all sold, but he clearly felt that the extraordinary people in the party were disgusted with maintaining the validity time too short, if it wasn't for someone who happened to be using it in the near future, I am afraid he would have failed this time.
"It seems that in the short term, we will have to sell the spell made by praying to the god of 'knowledge and wisdom'......"
……
Turn the other day, Friday, July 27.
Abner saw Hugh again in his rented house on the East End, but as soon as he met, he was startled. Because Hugh's face was pale at this time, and there was no blood at all!
"How did this happen?" Abner asked, both surprised and concerned.
Hugh handed over the gold coin from the Solomonic Empire period and said with trepidation: "Don't use its 'lucky' effect continuously!" It only needs a drop of blood for the first day......"
"But the next day...... It's horrible! ”
