Chapter 21: Exhortation

The observation hole in the door was pulled open, revealing a pair of brown eyes behind it.

Soon, the door opened, and it was opened by a man also wearing an iron mask.

He handed out a hooded robe similar to his own, and motioned for Varina to put it on.

When Varina did so, he closed the door and led Varina through the dark living room into the living room on the first floor.

The large living room is clearly furnished, with the exception of the coffee table in the center of the room, surrounded by sofas and chairs, which are separated by some distance and are clearly not furnished in the style of a home.

A candle was lit on the coffee table in the center of the room, providing a dim light to the room.

Varina glanced over and saw that there were about seven or eight people at the party, all dressed in hooded robes and iron-colored masks.

He was also not stage frightened, and randomly picked a chair with enough psychological "safe distance" to sit down.

Several people in the room were clearly accustomed to someone joining in halfway, and once Varina was seated, the party resumed its normal rhythm.

"Transferring a magical item, the kind that doesn't have much negative effect."

It was a man with a beard who gave a general description of the object's utility, but deliberately did not mention its appearance:

"Whoever holds it for more than a day can be energetic at night and gain a fairly good ability to see in the dark, but the negative effect is that it will make it difficult to sleep, and it will last for at least three days even if it is taken off after taking it off."

"I call it 'the factory owner's favorite', 500 pounds, does anyone want it?"

This...... It sounds like a magical artifact formed after the death of the "Sleepless", but could it be that this man killed a Sequence 9 Nightwatcher from the Church of the Night Goddess? Or was the wild extraordinary, who accidentally got the leaked formula, killed?

Varina couldn't help but glance at this Luo Quanhu a few times, trying to analyze the specific possibility from his demeanor, but obviously, he didn't have enough observation.

As Varina observed Luo Quanhu himself, the eyes of the others were cast as well, and after seeing what he showed was a small wooden jewelry box, he took it back.

The man waited for a while, but no one responded, so he took back the wooden box and casually joked, "Ha, it seems that there is no factory owner among us." ”

To be honest, he had certain expectations for the scene that no one cared about now, because he knew very well that although the negative effect of that item was not too great, its positive effect was actually quite limited, and even weaker than the negative effect.

"Wait a minute."

A woman, whose face was completely obscured by the shadow of her hood, spoke at the last moment, and said in a high and low tone:

"I think I've got some interest in it, I wonder if you'd barter?"

"I have here an extraordinary weapon ready for sale, and I want to trade it for your magical item."

The Luo Quanhu man didn't refuse, "I don't know what kind of weapon it is?" ”

"A two-handed greatsword can bless the wielder with strength and agility beyond ordinary people, with a slight swordsmanship instinct, it can be used for at least three years."

After the woman finished the introduction, she asked, "How is it, do you want to change it?" ”

The man's right hand rested on his chin, and after rubbing it a few times, he finally made up his mind, "Change." ”

The two sides agreed, and the waiter who led Varina through the door exchanged items for both parties, completing the deal.

"I asked for the recipe for Sequence 8 'Barbarian', is anyone selling it?" It was still the same woman just now, and she grabbed the gap where the waiter retreated.

After a brief moment of silence, the woman withdrew her gaze in disappointment.

Next, a few more people made requests or sold goods and materials, and only a small half actually made a deal. During this time, Varina had been silently watching and had a clearer understanding of the gathering.

It's a small gathering of low-order extraordinaires, with rather limited resources and channels for members, so there are a lot of requests that have been delayed for a long time.

For example, the woman at the beginning, in the original book, when Klein attended the party a year later, she still didn't get the potion recipe for the "barbarian".

Varina is almost certain that the old gentleman "Eyes of Wisdom", the well-known detective Issinger Stanton, insisted on hosting the party in order to play the role of the "Keeper of Knowledge" in Sequence 7 to digest the potion.

He didn't value the other values of the party that he valued.

It seems that the possibility of obtaining the recipe for the "Assassin's" potion from here is even lower than expected.

After most people had mentioned the deal, Varina waited for a gap where he asked, with a snarled voice:

"I want to buy the Sequence 9 'Assassin' potion recipe, does anyone know?"

After making the request, Varina looked at the faces of the participants one by one.

To Varina's disappointment, none of them reacted, suggesting that these people not only did not have a formula, but also did not even know the peculiarities of the "Assassin" path.

Of course, his main focus is on the old gentleman "Eyes of Wisdom" sitting on the single sofa.

"Do you have to be an 'assassin'?"

A man sitting on the edge suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Are you interested in other starting potion recipes?" ”

Varina refused: "I'm only interested in 'assassins'. ”

Almost at the same time as him, the old gentleman of the "Eye of Wisdom" also spoke, and he said in a slightly old voice: "Black Snake, you are not allowed to sell that recipe at my party in the future!" You know which one I'm talking about. ”

"Okay, no problem, I'll remember this rule." The man known as the Black Snake casually agreed to the request.

When Varina heard the code name of Black Snake, she realized that this guy just wanted to sell him the potion recipe of the "Secret Prayer Man", which was to develop himself into a member of the Aurora Society.

I'm sorry, I refuse.

There is still a chance to become a woman and come back, but becoming a madman is completely hopeless.

Varina's trading needs came to an end.

Next, someone proposed another deal, but none of them were sold, so the old gentleman of "Eyes of Wisdom" clapped his palm:

"That's all for today, as is customary, leaving one by one, three minutes apart."

Under the arrangement of the old gentleman, the participants were led by the waiter and left through different exits.

This is obviously a good way to prevent the party members from being calculated by those who also attend the party because of the disclosure of information, and it can greatly ensure the safety of all attendees.

After about half an hour, only Mr. "Eyes of Wisdom" and Varina were left in the living room.

"The old gentleman left me alone, has something to say to me?"

Varina knew that the other party had no ill intentions, so she acted very calmly.

"Psychological quality is good," the old gentleman casually praised, and then asked, "Judging from Caspers's words, you are half an 'assassin', right?" ”

Varina nodded, "Yes." ”

"I'd advise you to stop looking for potion recipes."

"The formula you need is almost exclusively in the hands of a twisted sect, and if you continue to pursue the recipe, you will end up becoming a humanoid tool controlled by that sect, and eventually even yourself will become distorted."

The old gentleman gave his final admonition with a serious expression:

"I think losing yourself is more terrible than living a short life, and I hope you can listen to it."

"Alright, you can go too."

He waved his hand and motioned for Varina to follow the waiter away.
