Chapter 61: Embarrassing Question

"Sequence 4?"

Looking at Angel on the sofa, Crane asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yes, although I don't have a high degree of digestion in Sequence 5 'Pain', I have to start thinking about the next sequence," Angel couldn't help but lower her voice and whispered as if she was plotting something, "Moreover, the materials for these potions are very expensive, even a single auxiliary material can cost thousands of pounds to buy ......"

Thinking of the "Poisonous Needle of the Black-veined Shadow Scorpion" that sold for as much as 3,000 pounds in the Silver City's trading market, she couldn't help but sigh again, and once again recalled in her mind the words on the "Witch" card she had seen in the mysterious city she had arrived in after her death.

"Sequence 4, Despair.

"Main materials: the eyes of the gazer, the complete sac of the black-veined shadow giant scorpion.

"Auxiliary materials: 150 ml of the blood of the Gazing Eye, the poisonous needle of the black-veined shadow giant scorpion, 10 drops of the sap of the Blood Mist Tree, and 1 copy of homemade highly toxic medicine.

"Rite of Promotion: Kill a demigod or equivalent transcendent creature primarily on his own, and take potions in despair before his death."

If the materials are expensive, they can always be solved through money, and the promotion ceremony from Sequence 5 to Sequence 4 makes Angel a little "desperate".

It wasn't until she was promoted to Sequence 5 that she really understood what the title "demigod and half-human" meant, and how much effort Panatia, the "desperate lady" who was teasing her in the great smog of Beckland.

Even if there is no haze created in advance through the ritual, she in the three sequences of 5, with all the magical items, is afraid that the victory rate is less than half of the previous sequence 4 of the same way...... Of course, the same witch path, the high-ranking extraordinary person has a stronger suppressive power over the sequence below it, but this can also fully explain the gap between the two sequences......

And you have to complete most of the battles through your own strength, and you can't rely on others, otherwise you may be able to use the conflict between the demigods to complete the promotion ceremony with a small and broad scale......

The more she thought about it, the more discouraged she became, and Angel looked up to find that Crane was looking at her with concern.

"I calculated that if each auxiliary material costs 3,000 pounds, and the main material is 10,000 pounds each, the price of the whole potion will be more than 30,000 pounds...... We can't afford to sell us. ”

She forced a smile to change the subject.

"But it's enough to sell the 'Blood General', his head is worth 42,000 pounds, even if you avoid trouble and find someone to collect it on your behalf, you can get more than 35,000 pounds, which is enough to solve the problem of potion materials."

Klein has already grasped the essence of the mad adventurer Gelman in his intermittent playing, and has begun to speak wildly in private, not taking the pirate general seriously.

Angel's confident answer amused Angel and eased her despair from the Despair potion promotion ritual.

It's all because of the giant scorpion's poisonous needle, I didn't even think about promoting to Sequence 4 in the first place, because I hadn't heard anything about the formula...... She sneered a few words, temporarily putting aside the distant sequence 4 and focusing on the "blood above the general".

"It's a radio receiver, I got it from the underground market for fifteen pounds," Klein pulled out a piece of mechanical equipment with a complex interior but a rough appearance from the box beside him, as well as a few accessories that looked like antennas, "Remember the radio spectrum and cipher I got from the 'White Shark' in Damir Harbor?" This device can listen to that spectrum, and if Admiral Blood' and his intelligence officers are talking over the radio, they will know what they're talking about and where they are. ”

Radio......

Looking at this rough machine, which seems to be handmade, Angel has a sense of dislocation that has crossed from the steam age to the electric age.

"You know that?"

She asked curiously.

"I'm a top student at Hoy."

Following Angel's smug expression when he said "Sequence 4" just now, Crane carefully put the device into the box again.

"Listening to the radio is a chore, and I think it should be done by someone more appropriate."

He squeezed his eyes and pointed in the direction of the living room door.

Angel immediately understood what he meant, and nodded with a smile.

Since the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" cooperated with us to hunt the "Blood General", then she must have some strength under Byam, right?

————

"Shit, it's me again! Last time, I was asked to light fireworks, and I was almost discovered by the patrol officers, and this time I was asked to listen to some radio...... I hope you're all killed by the Blood Generals...... No, no, kill Señol and then die together. ”

Daniz cursed and threw aside a thick "operating manual" and rudely assembled the radio receiver with its intricate antenna and placed it on the table by the window.

Although he scolded fiercely, his voice was extremely low, for fear of being heard by Gelman and Angelica, who lived on the same floor.

After shaking the power generator handle vigorously as described in the manual, he breathed a sigh of relief and lay down in a rocking chair to the side, taking a comfortable position and preparing to take a nap.

It's a simple thing like this, why don't I hire someone to guard it, maybe just a few sules a day...... But the captain wouldn't agree, and neither would Gelman...... Daniz's mind was full of thoughts, and he gradually fell asleep.

"Da, da, da-da-"

He was woken up by a rhythmic knocking sound, and looking out the window at the hazy red moon, Daniz squinted in the direction of the sound.

The set up receiver was running automatically, and the firing pins of different letters were rapidly tapping, and a translucent, somewhat illusory piece of paper was spat out from below.

Received the message of the "blood general" so soon? No, no, I didn't even put the paper in it or press the print button!

Daniz's sleepiness was so frightened that he reached for the pistol at his waist with one hand, summoned a condensed flame with the other, and softly leaned in.

If it makes any more strange noises, I'll rush out to find the two of them...... But it's weird enough to be able to spit out paper automatically, shouldn't I stay here......

A few drops of sweat poured out of his head, and he couldn't go, he didn't stay, so he had to stand still again, watching the receiver spit out the whole paper.

"Hello, is anyone around? I felt the familiarity. ”

There is a line of words written on it in Guphosak.

Hell, this certainly wasn't the "Blood General" Seigor and his men, the pirates weren't so polite...... Daniz licked his dry lips and tried to ask rhetorically:

"Who is you?"

Click, another illusory white piece of paper appeared from underneath the ticker.

"You can call me Arodes.

"In exchange, you have to answer a question."

A quiz game? It sounds like the captain said that there are strange traps under the deep sea, and if you answer incorrectly or displease the other person, you will be trapped in the shipwreck, never to leave...... Daniz chuckled and said:

"You say."

He decided to see what the other party was going to ask first.

Da the paper continued to spit out, and a few new lines of words appeared above, with some eerie red, better than the moonlight outside the window.

"You'll always yearn for those beautiful, powerful, mysterious women in your heart, for them to trample under your feet and play with your hands, like the noble lady next to you, or the captain you have a crush on, right?"

Miscellaneous...... What's that?

Daniz thought he had misunderstood, he rubbed his eyes, took two steps closer and read the question again, his face suddenly flushed, as if there was a fire burning inside.

Sling the bull! How could I possibly like that woman who was evil at heart...... No, that's not the point, how does it know what I'm about the captain......

"Boring and ridiculous question."

He pursed his lips to squeeze a sentence, his fingers pressing and pressing on the trigger of the revolver.

"Then let's change the question, what is the reason for you to claim to escape the captain's boring lessons, but every time you stop your vacation early and rush back to the ship as soon as possible?"

The firing pin in the receiver struck rapidly, as if there was a devil inside who knew everything, smiling and outputting shameful questions.

"I didn't!"

Daniz blurted out and unbuttoned the neckline, only to feel that the cold winter night was a little hot.

"The answer is incorrect. Next question, you often dream that the Golden Dream has been hit hard, and you rescue your captain by chance, thus bringing the two sides closer together, and even going further, yes or no. ”

This thing is a devil, just like its owner, Gelman!

Daniz couldn't take it any longer, and he strode forward, stretching out his hands to dismantle the abominable machine into parts, put it in a box, and give it to the abominable adventurer who had told him to listen to the radio all night.

Suddenly, his body stopped, his hands and feet froze in place, and the clothes on his body were tied tightly in circles, clinging to his body, restricting all his movements.

The only thing that could move his eyeball turned to the side, and Daniz was desperate to find a man and a woman standing at the door of the living room, it was Gelman and Angelica, whom he had just cursed madly in his heart.

"You guys, you're here, it just so happened that this radio receiver received some information, and I was about to check ......"

A smile appeared on his face, and his voice trembled.

Say no problem, say you've just come here...... He shouted inwardly in an attempt to move the gods and send blessings.

"But hasn't it already asked you three questions?"

Angel asked softly, the corners of his mouth grinning slightly, manipulating the invisible silk thread to make Daniz, who suddenly began to dance again to break free from the restraints, and was even about to throw out the flames to destroy the radio receiver, away from the table.

"If the flame in your hand falls on that machine, I'll use your bounty to buy another one," said Crane, whose face was grim and his tone was flat, "by the way, did you know that your bounty had risen to £4,800?" ”

Daniz, who was struggling in the wire mesh, suddenly stopped, as if he had been drained of all his strength.
