Chapter 86: The Clue to the Ashes
"'Only' £3,500?"
Angel gasped, the most valuable item she got in her hand was the extraordinary properties of the "demon" that she had sold only a few days ago, worth 3,200 pounds, and only half of it belonged to her.
Selling all the magical items on her body can make up enough for 3,500 pounds, but this is contrary to her purpose of enhancing her strength, not to mention the "Ring of Madness" needed to hide her identity, as long as she sells the "Magic Pocket Watch", her combat power will immediately drop by a step, and maybe she can't beat the extraordinary ones of the sequence.
"It's a truly magical item, and it's a reasonable price." Seeing Angel's strange expression, Kaveh was obviously shy, and he didn't even plan to introduce the effect of the weapon, so he changed the topic stiffly, "Of course, you can provide extraordinary properties or spiritual materials, and I can only charge a processing fee, which is usually 100 to 200 pounds." ”
That's a lot more reasonable...... Could it be that the extraordinary weapon of 3,500 pounds is just an "exhibit" to raise the expectations of customers and increase their value?
Angel breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the offer that met her psychological expectations, and then thought of the extraordinary characteristics she already had.
A piece from the "sheriff" trait of Parker, the deceased Extraordinaire in the Caping mansion, and the tainted trait of the "Bishop of the Rose" that he met and killed in the Eastern End, the latter has the effect of detecting the living bodies around her, and has been used by her as an ordinary magical item at this time, while the former is suffering from the "Black Emperor", a thief who is searching the Capping case, and does not dare to take it out.
"I do have a trait from the Medium Sequence Extraordinary, but it's slightly tainted, so ......"
As soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by a sudden change in her face.
"The extraordinary properties of contamination? If you look all over the Rune Kingdom, I'm afraid that no craftsman will dare to take this kind of work, and no matter how much money you give, you can't do it!
"Not long ago I saw an official Extraordinary, who came to me with a magical artifact formed by the tainted properties, and it didn't take long for her to die, guess how she died?"
Could it be me? Then I guess she faked her death......
Seeing that Kaveh refused to make weapons with tainted extraordinary properties, even if it was nonsense, Angel silently swallowed the words introducing "Crimson Eyes" into his stomach.
But then, she had to choose the sheriff's trait, or could she take the broken soft whip she had brought back from the Capin mansion and let Kaveh try to fix it and learn to use it herself?
Recalling the scene of Katie's battle with a soft whip in her mind, and replacing her face with her own, she couldn't help but shudder, and cleared the strange image out of her brain.
"I might be able to get an extraordinary trait in the near future, the unpolluted kind, so I'll trouble you to craft a weapon then."
After thinking about it for a while, she still decided to wait for the Rogue "Black Emperor" incident to pass before taking out the characteristics of the "Sheriff" to make weapons, and that soft whip, even if it was repaired, she would not use it!
"Okay, feel free to come to me at the watch shop, or make a deal with the 'Eye of Wisdom', well, don't you really think about that revolver?"
"Sorry, no money."
Angel squeezed out a smile and rejected Kaveh's "kindness".
Then the two continued to discuss the topic of "is it better to have a revolver or a sleeve pistol", perhaps because they have not met someone to talk to for a long time, the craftsman did not even repair the pocket watch, made a pot of coffee, and talked with Angel late into the night.
Just as Angel was about to start her work on a prototype pistol, there was a faint explosion outside the door, dull but continuous. The two looked at each other and stopped talking, and Kaveh pushed the door open, took a spin outside, and quickly returned to the watch shop, his face full of curiosity.
"Over there in the dockyard, it looks like someone is setting off fireworks." She said a little confused, and then denied the possibility, "It's strange, Beckland has long banned the use of large fireworks, which will make the damn environment even worse, you know, I'm from the port of Enmat, because there is too much industrial exhaust over there to move to Beckland, I didn't expect the air here to be a hundred times worse than the harbor city......"
Amid the chatter of the craftsman lady, the door was opened from the outside again, and a man in a gray trench coat with thick lenses walked in.
"Lady Carvey, the captain invites you to a trip to the 'Mechanical Workshop', the West Bailang dockyard by the river......"
He stopped talking and spotted the stranger in the watch shop—Angel who was looking at him.
"A customer, who came to customize the item, we have finished talking."
Kaveh took the initiative to explain, then looked at Angel, who nodded, "I'll come to you when I'm ready." ”
She guessed that the man was a member of the "Heart of the Machine", and that the hurried search for Kaveh might have something to do with the explosion just now, so she wasn't going to stay here any longer, lest they be questioned as a suspicious person, or even strictly scrutinized.
Just as she was about to leave the watch shop, she suddenly remembered that the matter of the "mummy ashes" had not yet been settled, and looked at the two official extraordinaires, and couldn't help asking:
"Ms. Carveh, do you know where to sell 'mummy ashes'? Be the real one. ”
Her question immediately attracted the attention of the two, and their eyes revealed a strange look.
This reminded Angel of the more widespread and common "uses" of this item, and his face was a little hot, explaining:
"Ahem, it's not for me to use it myself."
The scene was even more embarrassing, and the man with the "heart of the machine" didn't know what to think, his mouth half-open, his eyebrows raised.
"Carlson, do you know where this thing is sold?"
For a moment, as if thinking that there was something urgent to do, Carveh looked at the man known as Carlson and asked.
"Hmm, I'm not sure, there's a pharmacist nearby, he sells healing potions that are very effective, and he used to secretly sell some physique-enhancing drugs, I think you can go to him and try it." Carlson frowned and pondered, then replied after a moment, "There's a folk herb shop on Williams Street, on the other side of Jowood. ”
He replied vaguely, as if he had to answer at Kaveh's behest, and didn't want to appear to remember clearly.
Looking at the fake serious man, Angel laughed secretly, and then remembered that he was afraid that his image in the eyes of the two of them was over, and he made a bitter face again.
She thanked Carlson, stopped bothering the two members of the Mechanical Heart, and quickly left the watch shop.
The street outside the door was even more noisy than when she came, and in a small three-story building next to the Lever Church with the sign "Beckland Mechanical Research Society", a man wearing a trench coat and a top hat and carrying various bags and boxes kept coming out, and they got into two carriages and were ready to go.
Some of the believers who had come out of the Lever Church were looking at the group and pointing, but more were looking to the southeast, at the docks of Sibelang, where cranes were lined up, where the sky was still filled with smoke from the end of the fireworks, which looked very strange in the crimson moonlight.
It seems that this small building is like the "Black Thorn Security Company" of the night watchman, and it is the station of the "Heart of Machinery", and they are going to go to the place where the "fireworks" were just set off to investigate?
Standing on the side of the street, watching Carlson and Carvey enter the three-story building, Angel also left the place of right and wrong after the two fully loaded carriages quickly drove away.
The action is so slow, eighty percent of them can't catch those who make a big fuss, and then I'm afraid it's going to expand the scope of investigation, if I catch me with a weapon and magical items, I'm afraid I can't tell if I have a mouth......
She stopped a hired carriage and left the Lever Chapel in the opposite direction from the Hearts of the Machines.
