Chapter Eighty-Five: The Key to Returning Home
"The death of this witch has cost us a shipment of goods, but the people who trade with the sect don't care about that. The bigwigs in the sect had no choice but to find a way to transfer a batch of goods nearby. ”
"Unfortunately, all the ships belonging to the sect are on a long voyage, and there is not a single ship near Beckland that can carry goods. That's why I was given this task to find a way to buy one as soon as possible. ”
Rowena didn't mean to keep the sect a secret, she told everything.
Grandin even had the illusion that she liked me for a split second.
Rowena unveiled her hole cards so happily that he was a little embarrassed to raise the price.
But the goods in her mouth should be slaves! By selling her the sailboat, I was indirectly helping the Witch Sect to trade slaves......
"Is it really okay for you to say all this?"
Grandin opened his mouth to stall for time.
"No problem, they can accept the premium, they just want the ship to be there as soon as possible. And even if I buy a boat at a low price, the sect won't give me a bonus. ”
Rowena's smiling eyes blinked, and what she said seemed to mean something.
It seems that the Witch Sect has made a lot of determination this time. Even if I don't sell, they can always find someone else who is willing to sell the ship.
Think about it from another angle, maybe this is an opportunity. Isn't that fanatic of mine at sea? Last time, he also attacked the slave ship, and I can leave this to him.
In the blink of an eye, Grandin had already made a decision.
The corners of his mouth turned up:
"One percent rebate, you can get one percent rebate from me after a successful transaction."
"Smack!"
Rowena clasped her hands together, the smile on her face deepened, and she said in a brisk tone:
"They were willing to pay 1,000 gold pounds for the ship."
They're trying to eat their fart! A well-equipped three-masted galleon is worth at least 4,000 gold pounds, and this is still in a hurry.
Grandin swallowed the swear words that had reached his lips and paused before he said, "What they think is beautiful." ”
"Don't worry, they'll give you an extraordinary item. There are three things for you to choose from, the first of which is the 'Home Key', which allows you to travel between the two places quickly. You'll still have about four months of use, but the downside is that when you 'open the door', there may be other creatures that will welcome you. ”
Rowena stretched out her index finger and shook it, then extended her middle finger and made a 'V' gesture:
"The second is the 'Ring of Vengeance,' which makes you immune to damage once and amplifies attacks 5 times to the attacker, an effect that only appears once a day. The downside is that just by wearing it, you can't help but lie, and of course this is not a disadvantage for some people. It is still valid for thirteen months. ”
After confirming that Grandin heard clearly, she held out a third finger and said:
"The third piece is the 'Hazard Premonition Headband', which allows you to sense impending danger and even help you trace the source of the danger backwards. The downside is that even if you don't wear it, just put it on your body, all your decisions will be biased towards rationality, and eventually you will be colder and lose your emotions. It will be used for another eleven months. ”
After Rowena finished speaking, she sat down on the wooden box with her hands folded on her chest:
"After you make your choice, I will tell you the detailed abilities and disadvantages of the item."
Grandin began to ponder.
If you don't consider the side effects, in fact, the first thing makes him very excited, after all, who doesn't love items that can be teleported. The second one is also good, it can be immune to one damage, which is equivalent to one more life, but I don't know how high the upper limit of the attack this item can withstand. The third one, although the effect was the most amazing, was not what he needed, and it somewhat overlapped with his own abilities.
"Miss Rowena, which one do you think I should choose?"
Grandin threw the question to Rowena.
"I think you should choose the 'home key', and if you're lucky enough, you never have to think about the negative effects of it." Rowena was under no pressure to sell her sect, "and it had the highest value of the three." ”
"Well, I'm already a little tempted......"
Grandin smiled 'please continue'.
Rowena rolled her eyes, "We'll also give you a dhow that only one person needs to operate, enough for you to toss back and forth in the offshore waters." ”
"I think this offer is appropriate, this ship is yours. When it comes to extraordinary items, my choice is the 'homecoming key'. ”
Grandin nodded and agreed to the deal.
"The Golden Pound will go into your anonymous account, along with some of the proceeds from the apple orchard. As for the dhow, it was parked at one of the berths in the port of Prieze. ”
Rowena said, and unscientifically took out a key with a simple pattern from the completely close-fitting leather armor.
"You're not going to carry those three extraordinary items with you, are you?" Grandin's skeptical gaze swirled over her.
"I only brought this one, and the other two were too negative for me to carry with me. If you choose them, you'll have to go back to the apple orchard with me to get them. ”
As she spoke, Rowena shook her hand and tossed the key to Grandin.
Grandin reached out and caught it, and there was still a little warmth on the key. The patterns on it overlap and combine to form an illusory door.
"How do I use it?"
Perhaps because she had just earned a commission, Rowena is now in a good mood, as she elaborates:
"It needs to be activated, and the way to activate it is simple. Find a door at the end of the point where you want to teleport and insert it into the keyhole for at least 6 hours so that it is associated with that location. Wherever you are, just use this key to open the door, and the other end must be connected to the end location you have set. ”
"When you need to change the teleportation location, you just need to find a door in the new location, insert it in it for 6 hours, and then rebind it."
Isn't this Hearthstone, there is finally a means of long-range mobility.
Grandin was also satisfied, and he asked, "Is there a limit to distance?" ”
"With it, you can work in Beckland during the day and enjoy wine and dinner in the vineyards of South Wales in the evening. Of course, this will shorten its lifespan, but you can also choose to consume your spirit to complete the teleportation. ”
Rowena chuckled maliciously.
"Also, when using it, there will be occasional uninvited guests who will go home with you, it may be a spirit creature or an undead creature, or it may be a demon. This probability is hard to judge, maybe not once in ten, maybe it will appear the first time you use it. So it's all a matter of luck, and when you're unlucky, it's not advisable to use this key. ”
"It's all about luck? This thing looks like it's supposed to be for me to use. Grandin spun the key around and put it back in the inside pocket of his clothes.
