Chapter IX: Selling Information
Merge didn't know what the man in black was thinking outside the door, and of course, Merge wouldn't be interested in knowing what the man in black thought. A one-star rookie like this who has just joined the Assassins Association is reckless and arrogant. For the usually cautious assassins, such situations are uncommon, but they do happen occasionally, but they happen just by Merger.
Merge walked into the room and looked around the room, where there was only a chair and a hole in the wall. However, the semi-circular opening in the wall looks more like a window. Behind the window, sat the staff of the Assassins' Association.
The windows on the walls were sealed with iron bars, and the iron bars were imprinted with dense magic arrays. Merge could certainly see that these iron bars were alchemical items with a lot of functions.
Not only do these bars provide strong defensive and visual insulation, but they also provide absolute sound insulation on both sides of the wall if necessary.
In fact, on the iron door behind Merge, as well as on the walls of the house, there is also a magic array that is imprinted with sound insulation and defense effects. All these protection facilities are for the safety and secrecy of every assassin. After all, assassination is one of the most shady and secret professions.
Merge brought a stool and sat down in front of the opening.
"I'm going to sell something. ”
"Price. ”
"One hundred thousand gold coins. Merge thought for a moment and spoke.
"Stuff. The voice from the other side was mechanical, and there was no emotional fluctuation.
A message. ”
"Contents. ”
"Beast tides erupt in two weeks, or even within a week. ”
"Beast tide in advance?"
"Yes. ”
After being silent for a while, the other side continued to ask, "Is the news true?"
"Guaranteed with the Assassin's Badge. Merge pulled out the dagger badge from his waist and placed it in front of the window in front of him.
"Wait a minute. The person on the other side picked up Merge's badge, got up and left, and opened the soundproof magic circle of the window.
Hearing that the soundproof magic array was being opened on the other side, Merge knew that the staff on the other side was going to ask the top of the Assassin Association.
In the Assassin Society, the sale of information needs to be verified through a variety of channels, so the authority of the person on the other side does not have the right to easily decide whether or not to trade information.
If nothing else, the Assassins Society will also make some means of putting their own badges on them. Because if the news of Merge's sale is not true, the top of the Assassins Association will use the means left on the badge to send higher-level killers to retrieve the gold coins and Merge's life.
The process of asking for instructions took some time, but Merge was not in a hurry, and rested with his back on the wooden chair.
About half an hour later, the sound of the soundproof magic array closing was heard from the other side.
"This is your badge and 50,000 gold coins, and when the news is confirmed, please come to the association and pick up the remaining gold coins. ”
"Absolutely. ”
Merge sat up straight and stretched. Merge was not surprised that the Assassins Society would pay half of the price of the gold coins first, and the other half would only pay after the information had been confirmed. What assassins are best at is an endless stream of follow-ups.
The Assassin Guild has always acted cautiously, so the Assassin Guild's cautious attitude did not exceed Merger's expectations. Of course, after the news is confirmed, when Merge comes to the Guild to take the remaining gold coins, the Assassins Guild will also remove the secret methods left on Merger's badge.
Although the first pot of gold was only half in hand, Merge was still very happy.
Taking the bag and badge handed to him, Mog flipped through his hand, put the bag and badge containing the gold coins into the storage ring, and then got up to leave.
Just as Merge was about to leave, a low, murderous voice came from across the window.
"You should know that the means of the Assassins Society. ”
"Understood. Merge waved his hand with his back to the window, opened the iron door and walked out of the room.
Merge, who walked out of the room, glanced at the assassin hall a few times, but did not see the man in black who was about to cut in line, it seems that the rookie killer was afraid that Merge would trouble him and ran away.
Merge shook his head, this reckless and timid rookie.
After selling the news, Merge didn't stop long and left the Assassins Society.
Taking off his mask and changing into plain clothes in a corner where no one was around, Merge walked around the street a few more times. However, Merge did not return to the alchemy hut, but walked straight to the garrison of the border guards.
............
"Hey, why are you here? ”
Seeing Mo Ge walking into the tent, Ning Meng, who was cultivating his fighting spirit, opened his eyes and asked in surprise.
After Merge walked into the tent, he found a place and sat down, "It shouldn't be a few days before the beast tide, so I'll take the materials of the Fire Demon Battle Armor tonight." ”
"Don't worry, didn't you say you'd come over tomorrow to pick it up?"
"At night, I had some alchemy inspiration, and I wanted to try it to see if I could improve the six-star fire demon battle armor as a whole, and it was best to barely exert the power of the seven-star battle armor. ”
In the evening, in the notes left by Merge's father, he read an article about the alchemy technology of the six-star battle armor being transitioned and raised to the level of seven-star alchemy. Seven-star battle armor can only be refined by high-level alchemists, and Merge is only an intermediate alchemist who can only refine battle armor below six stars, so this attempt is not a self-challenge for Merge.
Through the study of the notes, Merge felt that his alchemy had improved again, and many alchemical problems were solved with the help of the article. That's why Merge wanted to try it to see if he could increase the power of the six-star battle armor.
If Merge succeeds in raising the power of the Fire Demon Battle Armor to the seven-star level, then not only Merge himself can try the assessment of a senior alchemist after mastering the seven-star alchemy technique.
Moreover, the Fire Demon Battle Armor with seven-star power can increase Ning Meng's strength by more than one and a half stars. In this way, in the next beast tide, Ning Meng can also have greater certainty and more life-saving means.
Although there are not many intermediate alchemists on the mainland, there are not many of them. Although there are only two mid-level alchemists in Blue Ear City, Blue Ear City is a dangerous border city after all, and alchemists with basically zero combat power will generally choose to stay in safe cities. Therefore, in other cities, there are still a lot of high-level alchemists, and the middle-level alchemists in the central city are even more grasped.
However, the number of high-level alchemists is much smaller than that of intermediate alchemists, and there is not even a high-level alchemist in Blue Ear City. There are also very few senior alchemists in other cities, most cities will only have three or four senior alchemists in the alchemist associations, some cities may have even less, and there are only a few hundred senior alchemists in the central city.
Although there are many alchemists like Merge who have not joined the Alchemist Association, most of them are low-level alchemists, intermediate alchemists are in the minority, and high-level alchemists are counted on one hand.
Although there is only one word difference between an intermediate alchemist and a senior alchemist, the meaning contained in this word is like the difference between heaven and earth.
There is an insurmountable gap between advanced alchemy technology and intermediate alchemy.
How many alchemists on the continent have stopped at the intermediate alchemist all their lives, and they can no longer take a step forward. This also led to the pitiful number of high-level alchemists, not to mention the alchemists above the high-level alchemists, that kind of existence was almost rare, and each of them was a well-known master-level figure in the mainland.
Alchemy is made up of ninety-nine percent talent and one percent perspiration, and without talent, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless. However, not sweating does not mean that the achievements in alchemy will stop there, but the level of alchemy technology will develop very slowly.
However, people who are gifted and interested in alchemy tend to be accomplished, and those who have talent will work harder and more seriously than alchemists who are less talented.
Alchemy is boring and tasteless, but it is also endless.
The never-ending nature of alchemy, like the deeper you dig, the more attractive the treasure will be, which is also the charm of alchemy.
Hearing that Merge had made some progress in alchemy, and that he could increase the power of the six-star fire demon armor by a little more, and even hoped to raise the six-star demon armor to the level of the seven-star, Ning Meng couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked in surprise: "Seven-star demon armor? ”
Ning Meng got out of bed and walked in front of Merge, staring at Merge carefully and looking at it, "No wonder Captain Taihu has always attached great importance to you, your kid's alchemy talent is too high, as high as my fighting talent." That's right, maybe this is God's compensation for your lack of fighting talent. ”
"I know that you don't have good words in your mouth, and what else is as high as your fighting talent, it should be as thick as your skin. Merge waved his hand and pushed Ning Meng's head away, and Ning Meng's eyes staring at him made his heart furious.
"This girl's face is not thick, and what this girl says is the truth. ”
"Don't go far, but then again, I just tried, and there was no guarantee that I would be able to raise the Fire Demon Battle Armor to the seven-star level. There is still a ninety-nine percent chance that the Fire Demon Battle Armor will not be able to raise the Fire Demon Battle Armor to the level of the Seven-Star Battle Armor. Ning Meng mouthed a girl who made Merge a little speechless, and Merge had to pull the topic back.
"That's okay, even if the Fire Demon Battle Armor only increases by a few percent, my strength can increase by a few points. ”
Ning Meng's little fist waved in midair, and her face was happy when she heard that Mo Ge was sure that she could increase the power of the Fire Demon Battle Armor.
The Six-Star Battle Armor can increase the strength of the Dou Master's Fighting Qi by 40 to 50 percent, and if Merge increases the power of the Six-Star Fire Demon Battle Armor again, then the Fire Demon Battle Armor will be stimulated to increase by more than 50 percent.
In other words, that is, when Ning Meng wears the upgraded Fire Demon Battle Armor, he has a Dou Qi bonus equivalent to half of that of a six-star Dou Master, which increases Ning Meng's strength by more than half, and Ning Meng is of course very happy.
Ning Meng's eyes flashed with excitement, and she said to Merge: "This time this girl will protect you!"
