Chapter 21: The Information Wall
Hobert showed his badge to the guards at the door before being allowed into the room on the wall of information.
The room was large, even about the size of the living room at home, except for one wall with windows, and the other three walls were blackboards.
On the blackboard, there are pieces of information written in chalk, and several club members are reading the information on the blackboard one by one, with their hands behind their backs or holding their arms.
These messages are beautifully written and should be written by the staff sitting in the center of the room.
In the center of the room, there are several tables and chairs, as well as coffee, black tea and other drinks, which may be a place for club members who are tired of watching and resting.
On one of the tables sat a staff member, with a box of chalk and pen and paper for writing on the table in front of him.
Hobert guessed that if he wanted to "publish" something, he should first write it down with a pen and hand it to the staff, who would then copy it on the blackboard.
Thinking of this, Hobert realized that since drinking the potion, he has become extremely sensitive to rule-based things, and it is easier to summarize the rules of a certain area or something.
Is this a "lawyer"? Good at summarizing rules.
Hobart shook his head with a smile and began to browse through the information on the wall.
After watching it for a long time, he began to summarize the rules again, on the wall on the right hand side of the door, it is mainly to post tasks or find information about teammates, the middle wall is basically the information on buying or selling something, and the wall on the left is some communication information.
The missions posted here are official and unofficial, with missions in the North and South Continents.
For example, the official mission was issued to sabotage and attack the colonies of the West Bailang Fersak Empire in order to avenge the losses caused by the Fersak Empire at sea to the Rune fleet. Someone else found a vault in the Southern Continent where the Republic of Intis stored looted gold, and then looked for teammates here to do it.
Selling and buying was the most informational, with Hobert discovering several extraordinary items and several extraordinary materials for buying and selling, and even some common Sequence 9 potion recipes.
It's just that it doesn't say it's a potion formula, because it's open to all members, so there are no words like "extraordinary" in the message, but words like "magical" instead, but everyone understands these things.
There are also people who have been selling deep sleep flowers, dracaena grass, golden mint, etc., which are very common and extraordinary materials for a long time.
This made Hobert's heart move, although the "lawyer" is not good at the extraordinary abilities of the soul class, but as an extraordinary person of Sequence 9, his "spirit body" and "star spirit body" are enough to support him through rituals and carry out psychic operations.
For other extraordinary, the biggest problem with psychic operations is that they don't know how to perform rituals, and this knowledge is largely monopolized by the church and ancient secret organizations.
And Hobart's advantage is the "explanation" of old Neil, as well as the "demonstration" of the cult leader "Mr. Fool", which is unattainable knowledge in the eyes of ordinary extraordinary people, and is not a secret to Hobart at all.
The other extraordinary items managed to attract Hobert's attention, but their prices ranged from £300 to £3,000, which discouraged Hobert from the present.
As for the information exchanged, there was a variety of information, from the presence of cults in South Wales in the Kingdom of Rune, to the bizarre murder of a military camp in East Bailang, and even the breaking of a shoe by a member of parliament in the Republic of Intis.
There are two pieces of information that impressed Hobert, one is that not long ago, the fleet of the Fusak Empire attacked Rune's fleet on the route of the Furious Sea, causing the sinking of one warship of Rune's fleet and the loss of three warships with varying degrees of damage.
Another piece of information is about General Antony, who, although ostensibly a warlord of Sibairan, seems to have the backing of the Vorsac Empire.
Hobert would pay attention to the previous piece of information because he didn't expect that there would already be a small-scale military conflict between the two countries, maybe this was Adam, George III and other big names, in order to pave the way for the big war later.
The reason for the second message is that Hobert remembers his first "believer", Elliot Balke, in the territory of the warlord General Anthony.
Most of the other information is about the southern continent or some secret information about other countries, such as the infiltration of various countries in East Bailang, or the open and secret battles in West Bailang, and so on.
To some, this is very valuable information, but it is of little use to Hobert today.
After compiling some information that might be useful, Hobart asked the staff to leave a message: Notes on the acquisition of Russell the Great, 5 pounds a page, Note: I already have many notes of Russell the Great in my possession, so I only acquire those that are not in the collection.
Since there is information on the buying and selling of extraordinary materials, it means that the Mercenary Club is a club with extraordinary people, and it is normal to buy something about the occult.
As for the "note" in the back, it is because Hobert is a little reluctant to spend money, and after taking the notes, he will roughly glance at them, and if there is no important information, he will say that he has this "collection".
Of course, the purchase of Russell the Great's diary is a sure deal, and Hobert can first read the knowledge on the diary to increase his knowledge reserves, which is the first profit.
Then you can take the diary and trade with your dear "Mr. Fool" to get "Mr. Fool's" wool, which is the second profit.
You can also use the knowledge in the diary to trade with the "righteous" and "hanged man" people at the right time, which is the third income.
Hobert grinned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the deal was a good deal.
Finally, Hobert also asked the staff to contact the club members who sold extraordinary materials such as deep sleeping flowers and dracaena to indicate their intention to buy and hope to complete a transaction at the club tomorrow afternoon or the next afternoon.
He was going to buy the usual extraordinary materials and try the rituals of his memory.
After telling the staff his mailing address, Hobert, who had gained a lot of money, went to the restaurant for lunch unhurriedly.
In the restaurant, Hobart did not meet Christine and Bruno, probably they had left the club.
Lunch was buffet-style, very hearty, with beef, lamb chops, seafood, and it tasted pretty good, but not many people seemed to eat here.
After eating and drinking, Hobert took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was not yet one o'clock.
He went to the couch in the hall first, reading the newspaper while waiting for the meeting to begin.
As soon as he read the newspaper, Hobert noticed that many people had entered the basement leisurely or briskly, and they did not return after ten minutes.
And Hobert clearly heard some of them talking about "this party", and he wondered a little, the location of the meeting was changed to the basement?
