Chapter 103: Lucky Gun

Insufficient information required for divination would lead to failure, Angel had a hunch, but sighed in disappointment when she received such a result.

But since she had suspicions, she was ready to find an opportunity to test it, just as she had approached Sherlock Moriarty on the night of the Tarot Club and asked for the identity of the other party.

Maybe a weekend trip to a workshop at the "Psychological Alchemy" is a great opportunity.

Of course, this kind of temptation needs to be careful, not to destroy the rare relationship between herself and the other party, not only the follow-up mission of the Witch Sect requires her to continue to get close to the Hall family, but she also has a good impression of this intelligent girl.

"Squeak-"

Angel pushed open the door of the watch store and walked in, the dim gas lamp illuminating the space, and Carveh was kneeling behind the glass counter, reaching for a pocket watch in the corner of the counter.

"There's a doorbell outside the door, and if I were you, I'd ring the bell instead of pushing the door in, which is rude."

Through the glass, the words of the Cavi urn came to the end, and Angel obediently retreated to the door, rang the doorbell that had not existed when she had come last time, and walked in again with a crisp sound.

"So it's you, I thought it was those guys who just look at it and don't buy it......" Kaveh had already stood up from behind the counter at this time, patting his dusty hands, "You've finally thought about it and are ready to buy that revolver?" ”

"No, I'd like to try to fix this weapon first."

Angel followed Kaveh to the workbench, took out the soft whip used by Katie the Extraordinary in Kapin's mansion, and handed the weapon to the craftsman, which had been broken in three.

The latter took them, spread them flat on the countertop, turned on a gas lamp that focused the light through the lens, and looked at it carefully, and after a few minutes, in Angel's expectant eyes, he shook his head and said:

"This is a soft whip that allows the attacker to issue a soul piercing that ignores the enemy's defenses, and it should mimic the extraordinary ability of the 'Interrogator', which originally had more than half a year of effectiveness, but now it has no effect after being damaged.

"The production method is not as formal as ours, but the idea is good, using the snake skin of the lightning pit viper as a material, simulating the extraordinary ability of the sequence, as long as you provide new materials, I can fix it in a day."

"Do you want materials?"

Angel was a little dumbfounded, she looked at the soft whip that was pitch black and seemed to have scale indentations on the surface, and asked hesitantly:

"How much is the skin of this 'lightning viper' worth?"

"About 300 pounds, it depends on the season, autumn and winter may be more expensive, lightning pit vipers are mainly infested in the southern continent, and the route of the Furious Sea is very dangerous in this season, and the price of goods from overseas will rise."

Hearing the amount of 300 pounds, Angel stopped paying attention to the follow-up, she was like a gambler who lost a bet, and at the moment she only regretted why she didn't choose the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 7 in the first place.

Of course, one person assigns, one person picks first, this is the distribution method that has been set a long time ago, and after a brief period of chagrin, she quickly accepted the fact, put the soft whip back away, and maybe another craftsman could repair it without using new spiritual materials.

Thinking about the money in his bank, Angel hesitated, and finally made up her mind, and asked about the specific role of the 3,500-pound revolver that Carvey had mentioned earlier.

The craftsman's sly expression immediately led Angel to think that she had deliberately exaggerated the difficulty of the Soft Whip's repair in order to sell the expensive dead-moving weapon.

"This weapon doesn't have a name yet, you can name it yourself when you buy it," Kaveh rummaged under the workbench for a long time, but took out a sketch of a revolver with a rather retro shape, intricate pattern and a thick barrel, "What kind of eyes are you, how could I possibly put a magical item worth thousands of pounds here, once it is known, even if it is the Lever Church opposite, someone will take the risk." ”

That's right......

Angel responded silently in the bottom of her heart, continuing to listen to Kaveh's narration.

"It's crafted using a Sequence 6 Extraordinary trait 'Scourge Priest' from the 'Monster' pathway, and the pathway's extraordinary ability can be summed up in one word 'Lucky', as are the weapons crafted from it. This revolver can be loaded with five large-caliber bullets, and when you pull the trigger and shoot directly, it has a passive effect of increasing accuracy, even if you aim at the left eye from a distance of 100 meters, you will never hit the right eye.

"And once the hammer is pulled in advance, there will be a 4 out of 5 chance of halving the power of the attack, a 1 out of 5 chance of increasing the power of the attack, and in turn the 4 out of 5 probability ......"

"Stacked up...... Could it be that the attack power will be tripled? And what is the difference between mathematical expectations and an ordinary revolver? ”

Angel interrupted Kaveh's introduction and pointed out the crux of the matter, which was equivalent to having four stink bullets in the nest that were only half the power of the usual one, in exchange for a special bullet that was twice as powerful as a normal bullet, which didn't even sound like a magical item......

"I didn't expect you to be able to say the word 'mathematical expectation,'" Kaveh looked a little surprised, "but you guessed it wrong, it's not three times, and the enhanced attack is sixteen times more powerful." Ordinary pistol bullets can be used to produce the effects of a high-pressure steam rifle, but if special bullets are used, the effect is comparable to that of a small-caliber gun. ”

"But the probability of one in five is too low, and you have to keep pulling the hammer to affect the aim." Although Angel needed a weapon that could amplify the power of his attack, he still casually picked a thorn in an attempt to depress the value of the weapon.

"This is the wonder of the 'monster', the negative effect of this weapon, so that the person who carries it usually becomes unlucky, but the longer this bad luck lasts, the greater the probability of triggering a lucky attack when you pull the hammer, it is considered to accumulate luck for the battle with the usual bad luck, as long as you are usually unlucky enough, you can pull the hammer to launch a high-power attack in battle, doesn't it sound better?"

Kaveh said unhurriedly.

"And it also has an active use effect, after infusing the spirit of the attack hit the opponent, it will come with an effect called 'spirit storm', directly attacking the spirit body, causing the target to be stunned for a short time, if he is already mentally weak, or even on the verge of madness, the effect will be more significant."

Passively increases accuracy, which can greatly increase the power of attacks, and even comes with powerful skills, and although the negative effects sound a little unreliable, they are good compared to their other magical items......

"Why didn't the people who customized it buy such a powerful weapon? You're not going to steal his stuff and get me in trouble, are you? ”

Angel asked, frowning.

After listening to Kaveh's introduction, she was already a little moved, but just in case, she still had to ask the root cause of the question.

"Do you think I'm like that?" The craftsman rolled up the drawings with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face, "That man ordered the weapon two months ago, and I finished making it. But he never returned after he left for Byam, and I learned from many inquiries that the ship on which he was returning had been shipwrecked, and that the survivors of the same ship had returned to Beckland at the beginning of the month, saying that he had seen him swept away by the waves, and that he should be dead. ”

"If he's fine, even if he only has one breath left, he will run back to see this weapon, besides, I paid for the extraordinary characteristics of making the weapon, as long as it exceeds the agreed time, of course I can dispose of it myself, this characteristic cost me 3,000 pounds, and it is already a concession for me to sell it to you at a small price."

She muttered, as if Angel had picked up a big bargain, but the price happened to be all the latter's deposits, which made her hesitate.

Thankfully, according to Kaveh, the time she was really free to dispose of the weapon would be two days later, when the hapless client hadn't returned before Kaveh would sell it.

"I'll only help you stay until the weekend, and if you don't buy it, I'll sell it to someone else."

"But I've been here twice, and I haven't seen 'anyone else' in your shop."

Angel ruthlessly punctures her lies in order to bargain, and finally succeeds in getting Kaveh to come with 20 lethal demon hunting bullets, which seem to be made by every Orthodox Church, and they are expensive and powerful.

Considering that each bullet could fetch a whopping price of nearly £10 at the Extraordinary's party, this amounted to a discount of £200, a discount that both sides could barely accept.

According to the agreement, two days later, that is, on Saturday morning, Angel would come with cash to take the weapons and the accompanying ammunition, so that she immediately felt the financial crisis with 3,500 pounds in the bank, but fortunately, there would be a gathering of Mr. A's extraordinary people in the evening, and maybe sell some potion recipes and special bullets, so that she would not starve to death on the streets at any time.

————

Dressed in a hooded robe, Angel was guided by a waiter into the venue, and found that the chairs in several corners were occupied, and she could only sit in a seat closer to the front, which brought her closer to the central single sofa, on which sat Mr. A, with his head down.

The latter's temperament today was a little different from usual, and the dangerous atmosphere surrounded him like a substance, and gradually spread to the side, so that the few participants who sat closest to him did not dare to breathe.

Seeing someone enter, his falcon-like gaze quickly swept over Angel's face, but fortunately, through the triple disguise of the hood, mask, and "Ring of Madness", Mr. A only glanced at it casually and withdrew his gaze, but this still made Angel feel a little curious.

Fortunately, the organizer of the rally quickly left the scene, leaving only a few waiters to write the content of the transaction, passing the notes back and forth, which made the oppressive atmosphere of the venue gradually warm, Angel also handed over a few notes with the items to be traded, just as the waiter wrote the recipes such as "apprentice", "master trickster" and the storm gathering bullets on the blackboard, Angel saw a transaction request that caught her attention:

"Seek the main materials of the 'Sheriff' or 'Inquisitor', or special items that can be used as a direct substitute for them."
