Chapter 54: The Hangman's Reward

Alger continues: "The negative effect of the white cane is that it is very easy to get angry and will be driven by anger to make some less rational choices. However, as long as you try to restrain yourself, you can basically avoid the negative effects. ”

Hobart guessed that the staff's extraordinary properties were due to the "Sailor" pathway's Sequence 8 "Raging People", and that the staff's abilities were what Hobart wanted, but the negative effects still made him unhappy.

You know, in many cases, an unrational choice can be fatal.

Seeing that the Emperor was still not satisfied, Alger spoke for the third time: "The third option is a silver ring, and when you wear it, you will become an expert in martial arts."

"The downside effect is that the wearer will become overly cautious and even look suspicious. This negative effect can be circumvented by ignoring the caution that the ring evokes, but it takes time to tell which is the real caution and which is the caution that the ring induces. ”

Hobert pinched his forehead, for him, the negative effects of these three extraordinary items were a bit big, which also showed that the level of "wild craftsmen" who worked with the hanging man was very average.

Hobert only felt this after seeing the negative effects of the "Psychic Necklace", which were acceptable to other extraordinary people, after all, there is always a price to pay for mastering a new ability.

After much consideration, Hobert said, "I choose the ring, and it is better to be cautious than angry." ”

Alger nodded, "Okay, how do I get it to you?" ”

At this time, Mr. Ke had not yet opened the "Fool's Express", but Hobert had already thought of a way: "You can send it to 388 Queen Avenue in Beckland, and the recipient will write 'private'." ”

This address is the address of the Mercenary Club, and he will entrust the waiter to pick up the package, and then he will pick it up.

Through yesterday's meeting, Hobert speculated that the Mercenary Club was likely to have the participation and support of the Royal House of Rune, and even if other people in the "Tarot Society" found the address, it would be difficult to investigate their identities due to the peculiarities of the club.

Taking a step back, even if you can do some investigation within the club, you will think that the emperor is a member of the military, after all, the core members of the club are a mercenary team composed of retired officers.

Audrey sat up straight, she knew Queen's Road very well! The entire avenue is the property of the nobles of the Kingdom of Rune, could it be that the emperor is the son of a nobleman? I wonder if I've ever seen him at a banquet? But why don't I have an impression of the owner of number 388?

When Alger heard such a specific address, he was ready to ask Beckland's friends to help him check the identity of the Emperor, but he felt that the Emperor should not expose himself so easily.

"No problem." "Luckily," said Alger, "I heard that there is a military airship going to Beckland to resupply on my island today, and if everything goes well, it will be delivered to you in two to three days." ”

At the end of the trading session, the exchange of information began.

Hobert spoke first: "I just met a merchant who sells extraordinary materials, if anyone needs extraordinary materials, I can be an intermediary, and only charge a basic intermediary fee.

"In addition, when I was trading with the Extraordinary Material Merchant, I learned that there is an elderly official Extraordinary in Tingen who has been buying some materials related to life refining.

The merchant said he appeared to be a "voyeur" who was preparing for some evil ritual and that something seemed to be wrong.

"If you have anyone in Tingen, be careful, and if you have any relevant channels, you can also alert the local official extraordinary."

When Hobart said this, he tried not to notice Mr. Fool's reaction.

Because of the fog, no one could see Mr. Fool's state at this time, but Hobart knew that Mr. Fool must be listening intently now.

In the end, Hobert lamented: "Loss of control is the norm for the extraordinary, and the official extraordinaire cannot avoid it." ”

Alger looked at the emperor and said: "This is also what I don't understand, it stands to reason that the top leaders of the church can't all be stupid, and besides, they have thousands of years of experience, and the seven orthodox churches should know the 'acting method', why don't they make it public within the church?" This will effectively prevent your own people from getting out of control. ”

Hobert smiled, "Mr. Hangman, you don't need to test me like that, yes, as you guessed, the law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics. ”

Alger immediately looked at Mr. Fool, as if to verify it.

But "Mr. Great Fool" can only smile wryly at this time: this is also the question that puzzles me! However, what you call the "law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics" gave me the inspiration to think about the answer.

Seeing that Mister Fool did not correct the Emperor's statement, Alger smiled and said, "Mr. Emperor, I am not tempting you, I am just not sure of my conjecture. ”

Audrey felt that since Mr. Emperor joined, the information exchange link of the "Tarot Club" has suddenly become high-end.

However, this exposed her ignorance of the occult, and she was eager to join the conversation: "Mr. Emperor, what is the law of extraordinary immortality?" ”

Hobert smiled, "Miss Justice, you seem to owe me some money from the last meeting. ”

"That's right." Audrey said: "Last time's payment, plus this answer, well, how about 600 pounds?" ”

Hobert almost choked on his own saliva, girl, do you have money and nowhere to spend it? 600 pounds for opening your mouth! Have you forgotten? At Mr. A's party, Lao Tzu and the Giant's bishop's subordinates were worth 150 pounds!

He thought of working hard with Hugh again, and finally made his fortune reach about 500 pounds, and as a result, because of Miss Justice's curiosity, his assets doubled!

However, it occurred to Hobert that the "Law of Immortality of Extraordinary Characteristics" seemed to him common sense, but for an aristocratic lady like Audrey who did not have access to the circle of official Extraordinary and High-end Extraordinary People, this law was indeed very valuable.

"Overcoming the past self" is also a clever use of extraordinary ability, but "the law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics" is high-end extraordinary knowledge.

Audrey saw that the emperor was stunned, and she hurriedly said, "If you think the price is too low, we can discuss it again." ”

"The price is just right." Hobert began to explain: "This knowledge has always been monopolized by the Church and the occult organizations, but it is an important law in the extraordinary world, but to put it bluntly, it is very simple:

"Extraordinary characteristics do not destroy, they do not decrease, they only transfer from one carrier to another.

"For example, the ring sent to me by Mr. Hanged Man has extraordinary abilities because it carries the extraordinary characteristics of a 'martial artist' or 'martial arts scholar', and after I wear it, I can use some of the corresponding extraordinary abilities."

Audrey seemed to suddenly figure out some questions: "So, so the extraordinary is also a bearer?" ”
