Chapter 77: The Party Resumes
On Saturday night, Angel knocked on the side door of the house where the "Eyes of Wisdom" had been struck with a specific frequency seen in newspaper advertisements, and then put on an iron mask and hooded robe and entered the dimly lit living room.
Under the flickering candlelight, a dozen or so people in the same costume sat casually, and some acquaintances had already begun to talk to each other, they had not attended the party for too long, and they did not even dare to go out of the door, and they were a little excited to see other extraordinary people in the same situation again.
The old gentleman of the "Eyes of Wisdom" was still sitting on the single sofa next to the coffee table, with his hands in his robe, watching the guests enter the living room one by one.
Angel sat in a corner, looked at the members of the party, and found the chubby pharmacist, the lady who seemed to be a frequent seller of weapons, and Detective Sherlock Moriarty.
"It's about the same time, it seems that these are the ones who are here today, and there is no need to wait for people who are late." Wisdom Eye whispered, "To be honest, I was surprised that so many people came. ”
"Let's get started."
As if suppressed for a long time, the partygoers began to scramble to sell items and post demands.
The fat pharmacist first sold some healing potions and potions to strengthen certain abilities, and then coughed lightly and said:
"I need a transcendent creature, for experimentation, or something less threatening."
"Transcendent creatures? You should catch it yourself, who would take that kind of thing with you, wouldn't it be safer and more convenient to kill it directly to preserve extraordinary materials? ”
There was a sneer from the corner, and the voice was the "black snake" who was suspected of having a connection with the aurora.
Apothecary Darkwell immediately shot back: "If you can tame a transcendent creature, who would be stupid enough to kill it?" The dead can only be used as materials, and the living transcendent creatures can become my helpers, making me even more ......."
His voice gradually lowered, as if he had realized that he had divulged some secret.
Could it be that he had the idea of taming otherworldly creatures to work for himself?
Angel thought to himself, the Medicine Master had undoubtedly been promoted to the next sequence after obtaining the potions materials at the last gathering, and maybe he had some special way to make the transcendent creatures work for himself, like the transcendent dog of Audrey the "Righteous......
The pharmacist's needs were not answered by anyone else, and here were all wild extraordinaries of low order, living cautiously in the big city of Beckland, barely making ends meet, how could they have the leisure to keep a transcendent creature in captivity?
"Maybe you should hire a few people to catch one for you, or maybe I have another idea," Moriarty began, in a serious tone and a loud voice, "you first raise an animal you need, and then feed it the potion, so that you can have a transcendent creature that does what you command and happens to be in the sequence you need." ”
"It's too extravagant, a potion costs hundreds of pounds, and it's a high probability that an animal will get out of control or die from taking a potion, unless someone has a mine at home, no one will do that!"
Darkwell retorted with some resentment as Moriarty was joking, and seeing that no one else responded, he retreated back into the couch and said no more.
After the other items were traded, the lady, who often sold extraordinary weapons, spoke:
"Was the lady who commissioned me to search for a transcendent weapon last time?"
Did she get a weapon?
Angel was overjoyed and responded, "It's me, do you have the weapons I need for sale?" ”
"Yes," the lady nodded, "but it's a custom weapon, and you'll need to make it yourself." ”
She didn't say where to go, but Angel immediately understood what the other party meant: the user of the weapon needed to meet with the craftsman behind her, explain the needs in detail, and negotiate the price.
But this is equivalent to "online trading" going "offline", and there is a high probability that the craftsman is not the lady herself, which means that it involves another person who did not attend the party, and the safety is questionable.
"You give me the address first, and I'll take the time to make a trip."
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to get the other party's address first, and then decide whether to meet the craftsman, so that she could be fully prepared, and even divination in advance to avoid being set a trap.
But handing over the craftsman's address is tantamount to exposing the other party, Angel was ready that the lady would refuse, but he didn't expect the other party to be very happy, took the note and quickly wrote the content, and handed it to the waiter to pass over.
Looking down, Angel knew it, no wonder the other party was not worried about the safety of the craftsman.
"West End, Green Park Street, Across from Lever Church, Carvey Watch Store, looking for Ms. Carvey."
Unexpectedly, Ms. Kawi from Port Enmat came to Beckland to "retire" and began to return to her old business. Whoever dares to disadvantage the craftsmen of the "Heart of the Machine" next to the Lever Chapel will be a long one......
Putting the note away, she smiled at the lady and said, "I'll take the time to go, thank you." ”
"It's okay, just think of it as a 'share' paid to you."
There was even a hint of apology in the lady's words, which made Angel feel inexplicable.
"I brought 50 rounds of bullets with different effects this time, including 20 rounds of 'purification bullets' that can purify ghosts and spirits, 20 rounds of 'demon hunting bullets' against fallen creatures, and 10 rounds of 'exorcism bullets' that can restrain evil monsters, the effect will last for more than a year and a half, and a revolver of the same caliber, a total of 500 pounds, or a formula for the 'bribe' at a higher price."
She loudly introduced the items she was going to sell today.
No wonder what to say "divided"...... It turned out that I was inspired by the last time I sold extraordinary bullets, and these bullets were probably made by Kaveh, or some other similar craftsman. It seems that this lady may have a background in the "mechanical heart", or even an official person, who came to watch this extraordinary gathering at the same time, selling some extraordinary weapons to make some "extra money".
Angel didn't have any indignation, the materials she used to make "Storm Convergence" were rare, and she needed to keep some of them for her own use, so the number of bullets sold was not much, and she could even sell them on Mr. A's side, and the two did not have much competition.
To her surprise, Moriarty, who would use "air bullets", was very interested in these bullets, and he quickly called the price, and then was increased to 600 pounds by a man, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he gave a price that the other party could not refuse:
"I have the formula for 'bribe-takers.'"
"I'm sorry, sir, I'll give priority to the recipe." The lady said to the bidder, her tone changed with excitement, and then she looked at Moriarty, "How much are you going to bid?" ”
"These 50 rounds, plus an extraordinary weapon or magical item that can deal with resentful spirits and necromancy, if it works well, I can make up the difference.
"If anyone else has a weapon or item or charm with a similar effect, I need it too."
The latter sentence he addressed to the other attendees.
"Barbarian" is a potion of Sequence 8, so the "bribe" that this lady urgently needs is likely to be Sequence 7 of the same way, and the value of the formula of this level is generally around 800 pounds, maybe it can be premiumed to 1000 pounds, and if you deduct 500 pounds of bullets, the rest happens to be the same price as the weapons she usually sells...... It seems that Moriarty has received a commission to deal with necromancy, resentful spirits, and is preparing for it?
Angel has no way to deal with these targets except for her own cursed Black Flame, and the "Storm Convergence" is only effective against physical targets, and in the past, she was able to kill and injure the resentful soul through the combination of "Thirst for Blood" and "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption", but unfortunately that weapon has been damaged, which is why she is in a hurry to buy a transcendent pistol.
After the assessment, she didn't feel like she could help much, so she didn't say anything.
The lady quickly offered the terms of the deal: 50 rounds of ammunition, and a "Yang Dagger".
This weapon was sold at the "Wisdom Eye" party, but no one needed it at the time, so I didn't expect it to be kept until now. It resists most cold and sickness effects, and has a chance to emit flames that have special effects on necromancers and wraiths when attacking.
It has similar side effects to many magical items whose power is derived from the "Eternal Sun", and holding and using it for a long time will turn the user into an idiot who only praises the sun.
Moriarty didn't seem to be very satisfied with the weapon, he shook his head slowly, and finally decided to exchange the "bribe-taker" formula for 50 extraordinary bullets and an additional 500 pounds in cash, and the other party agreed to the request without the slightest hesitation, making Angel very envious of the "craftsman's" earning ability.
Seeing that no one continued to speak, Angel took out the iron bullet box, opened the lid, and showed the extraordinary properties of the "demon dog", the transparent crystal with lava surging inside, to everyone, and said:
"I found this on the corpse of a supernatural creature, I don't know what it does, maybe any of you will want to buy it?"
