Chapter 57: Thoughts
"This is the seal you wish you were equipped!"
His Excellency Lieutenant General waited until all three members had received the seals of their choice, and then said solemnly as if admonishing:
"May you remember the honor of the Kingdom, these items are not a gift, but a duty!"
Then, without the idea of communicating with Weiz and Joan, he said directly to Glerint:
"Hear Buck say you want to buy a powerful magical item?"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Seeing Glerint nodding affirmatively, he said as if with a little regret:
"If you're here at the end of the year, I can give you a magical item that you can't say no."
"It's a little early now."
"Well, by the way, I remember you were a 'barbarian'? In that case, I've got a magical item that's perfect for your next sequence. ”
He took something out of his pocket and explained:
"I don't know if you know, your next sequence is 'bribe-taker'. In this sequence, you can use the extraordinary ability 'Bribe'. What most people don't know is that 'bribery' is actually a ritual act, and the better this 'ritual' of bribery is completed, the better the extraordinary abilities you use. ”
"This magical item of mine can change your appearance and help you better complete the ritual of 'bribery'."
"It's a magical artifact made by Sequence 6 with extraordinary properties, which means it has some other abilities, and the specifics are up for you to figure out."
"It's called a 'faceless pocket watch', and its negative effect is that the first time the three hands overlap after using a pocket watch, it will directly force the wearer to erase all facial features, making you a 'faceless'. However, this kind of change can be changed back through the 'Other-Face Pocket Watch', so the negative effect can be said to be basically non-existent. And you can also manually adjust the times so they don't coincide exactly. ”
"If you're willing to pay £5,000, it's yours."
If you just sell the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 6, regardless of the premium, the transaction price is generally 3,000-4,000 pounds.
Of course, the finished magical items will be more expensive, and the ones with less negative effects will have to be increased in price.
"Boutique" magical items such as the "Ring of Law" and the "Faceless Pocket Watch" are generally not worth less than 6,000 pounds, as well as the "Tinder" gloves from the original books.
Therefore, the price given by Lieutenant General Darnell is actually quite reasonable, after all, it is an internal flow.
Although this magical item was somewhat different from the powerful attack type magical item that Glerint was expecting, he decided to buy it after a little hesitation!
The ability to "change faces" can be used wherever there are people.
What's more, the rest of his wealth can still afford to buy a magical item corresponding to Sequence Five.
After obtaining the "Strange Pocket Watch", Glerint, accompanied by Buck, went to the bank to transfer 5,000 pounds of wealth to the account designated by Darnell.
At this time, he had a little more than £20,000 in savings and a little less £2,000 in cash.
I have to say that after leaving Beckland, he no longer enjoys extravagant consumption every day, and his ability to save money has directly jumped a notch.
What's more, he also took out a wave of pirates and made a little extra money.
……
At the same time, Joan and Weiz, who had returned to the multi-occupancy suite early and had taken a short break in the hall, were almost numb to the point of having nothing to say.
Both of them are relatively wealthy families.
One is the daughter of a multinational maritime merchant, and her father earns 1,600 or 1,700 pounds a year. After deducting the "decent" expenses of a family of four, you may be able to save 400-500 pounds.
The other was the third son of the Viscount, whose father was able to earn around £1,500 a month. But after deducting the expenses of a family of five that are more "decent" than the vast majority of people in Beckland, sometimes they have to pay backwards......
A one-time 5,000 pounds, let alone the two of them, even their father may not be able to take out this amount of liquid savings.
Not to mention, the money was just used to buy a magical item.
"Joan, have you considered pursuing Glerint? He is so noble and so rich, the key is that he is still young and innocent, unlike Beckland's uncles and old men who are just looking for lovers. ”
Weiz has always dared to think and say anything, not to mention that he has become quite familiar with Glerin and Joan these days.
He seemed to have completely forgotten the embarrassment of being known to Joan after going to the Red Theater, and watched the joke so much that he seemed to believe it:
"You see, you were so coincidentally drawn to the 'City of Verteke' together."
"It's almost like the one that Russell the Great wrote about lovers: 'The pavilion near the water's edge always sees the moon projection in the water first.'" ”
Joan had heard him joking, but she didn't know how she believed her joke.
couldn't help but fly him a graceful white eye:
"Can you try it too? I've heard that some aristocrats just like this? ”
She originally wanted to use this to block the joke of Weiz's hippie smile, but she didn't expect the other party to say thoughtfully:
"It's a pity that I've heard him say heterosexual, and I don't know if there's some kind of potion to change gender......"
Hearing Weiz say more and more outrageous, Joan almost wanted to strangle this scoundrel-like nobleman to death......
She said angrily:
"It's a pity, if there was such a thing, I would definitely choose to become a man."
"You just said, 'In case he likes men'!" Weiz looked at Joan in surprise as if he had unearthed some secret.
"You really have an idea! Ms. Nolan. ”
"But didn't you just tell me with certainty that Glerint himself said he liked the opposite sex?"
"I lied to you!"
Weiz looked innocent......
In an instant, Joan's face turned a rich red, and she didn't know if she was shy or angry with Weiz.
"Get out! Don't be an eyesore here. ”
She threw out a "fall technique" like a half-revenge and half-mischief, but abruptly slid the unsuspecting Weiz directly to his head.
"What are you talking about? So happy? ”
It was at this time that Glerint also happened to return.
His appearance made Weiz, who was quietly joking with him, a little embarrassed, but he was quite thick-skinned, and he was still lying on the ground at this time, so he simply pretended to be dead.
Joan, who was teased by Weiz to the point of being unable to control herself, had not yet dissipated the shame and anger on her face. I could only pretend to be calm and replied elegantly:
"It's nothing, just now Weiz told a bad joke that wasn't funny, you can see he rolled on the floor with laughter!"
Regardless of whether there is a special idea, a young and unpartnered lady is always reluctant to lose her temper in front of the excellent opposite sex.
This reverses the gender and still applies.
Just like Glerint, he would certainly not want to lose face with Audrey and Carol.
These two girls, one in addition to extraordinary ability, wealth, status, etiquette, and appearance...... It's all better than Glerint.
The other is precisely the transcendent field he pursues, which is far ahead of him.
But when it comes to facing Aprily and Joan, he's a lot more natural.
Even if he didn't really have any special thoughts about these girls.
And in the face of Weiz, he has no worries at all! Even if he did something unusual, it would make Weiz subconsciously doubt himself instead of questioning him.
This is the charm of "authority".
