Chapter 178: One Question and One Answer, Fair but Unreasonable!
How powerful Helk was, Arthur couldn't be sure.
But Arthur knew the magic of Herke.
The [Hand of Nothingness] that was completed and changed by Herke is Arthur's most convenient and practical secret technique now, and what will the [Stone Bullet Technique] also invented by Herke look like?
That's right!
It's an invention!
According to the diary entry, Arthur confirmed this.
Looking at the [Stone Bullet Technique] that only needed 1XP to learn, Arthur immediately chose to learn.
[Stone Bullet Lv1: When he was the Imperial Librarian, in addition to reading, Herke liked to play stone bullets with the children on the street to relax his brain and move his wrists, but with the victory of a hundred battles, no one fought with Herke anymore, so the young master began to entertain himself, effect: based on spirituality, consume physical strength, manipulate finger-sized stones within a radius of one meter with Tufu Pa, and fly to any target within 10 meters of your field of vision- When the first stone marble is overtaken by the second stone marble, the crisp sound of the hit always makes me feel happy]
(Note 1: Stone Bullet Technique does not need to recite the Diagram Compound Language, it can be performed silently)
(Note 2: When the stone marble flies out, you can choose the second stone marble)
(Note 3: The power of stone projectiles is equivalent to the power of an ordinary adult's throw)
……
For the general effect of [Stone Bullet] Lv1, Arthur was not disappointed.
1XP, with such an effect, Arthur thinks it's good.
What's more, when he saw that upgrading Lv2 [Stone Bullet] required 100XP, Arthur knew that his guess was right, and [Stone Bullet] had potential to be mined.
"That mysterious person called 'Rock', the secret technique of smashing carriages and killing horses with stones, should be Lv2's [Stone Bullet Technique], right? ’
Arthur wondered in his heart.
However, he didn't upgrade the [Stone Bullet Technique] right away.
It's not that XP is not enough, but Arthur wants to prove another guess after dawn - speculation about increasing spirituality after ordinary secret arts are stacked.
As for the secret technique of the [Abdel's Fire Control Technique] that was traded with Malinda?
There are similar considerations.
But more importantly, in addition to 50XP to learn this secret art, you also need something called the 'Salamander's Sac'.
This thing Arthur heard from 'Detective' Albers that the 'salamander' lives in the desert, especially in some places near volcanoes, and is a mysterious side creature that can breathe flames, with a body like a bay crocodile, agile, extremely powerful, thick leather armor, and bloodthirsty and ferocious, which requires a large hunting party to be captured, and its price is also extremely high.
As the most valuable 'Salamander's Bag' in the whole body, the normal price is around 1200-1300 golden tickets, and if you encounter special moments, this price can reach more than 1500 golden tickets, or even higher.
Maybe Marinda or Harris can keep an eye on it. ’
Arthur thought in his heart, and after putting his last income today into the [Athos Box], he just put his coat on his body as a quilt and lay on the floor of the psychic hall.
It's not that I don't want to go to bed.
It's that tonight's affair seems to be over.
However, there is still a follow-up that needs to be closed-
The day has just dawned.
There was a knock on the door of 2 Kirk Street.
Marinda, who had changed into a dark hunting outfit, stood outside the door carrying breakfast, and as Arthur opened the door, she immediately showed a slightly sweet smile.
"Morning, Arthur."
"Morning, Malinda."
Arthur replied with a slight weariness.
Marinda surveyed Arthur's tired face as she put the food on the table—there was still dinner left over from the Andorran mother-in-law last night.
However, neither Malinda nor Arthur minded.
The two of them warmed up last night's food and put it on the table with breakfast.
"I heard that someone was devoured by the arcane last night?"
Malinda asked, holding the milk.
"I heard that someone didn't catch the person they wanted to catch?"
Arthur asked rhetorically with the white bread.
Then, after the two glared at each other fiercely, Malinda preemptively defended herself.
"If it weren't for the catch, he would have died a long time ago!
However, now he should be better off alive than dead!
And, under my curse, I'll be able to find him soon! ”
Malinda's voice was confident.
Arthur expressed his belief in this.
He had watched the battle between the lady and the old-school Dead Poets Society member through Fokine's eyes, and if she really wanted to kill each other, the lady had too many opportunities.
'Undead, cursed, if you get another bone spear, you'll really be like a necromancer!' ’
Arthur couldn't help but complain about the secret skills of his collaborator.
But the next moment, the young 'medium' suddenly thought of something.
Curses aside, Malinda's secret art is biased towards the undead, and the 'Death Poets Society' almost claims to represent death.
Both are so close to death.
Could this be the reason why the old-school Dead Poets Society members are eyeing Malinda Sharon?
Rather than just guessing before, how good is it to pick targets?
Arthur thought to himself, but said in his mouth.
"Deceived by two crooks, I thought I really met the 'Dark Serpent' Siudik."
Malinda said one thing.
Naturally, he had to say one thing.
The cooperation between the two is mainly about fairness.
As for what is said to be true or false?
It's all up to each other.
"The 'psychic' met the liar...... Hahaha, sorry, I can't help it. ”
Looking at Arthur with a calm face, Malinda suddenly laughed.
"Strange joke."
Arthur continued to remain calm, but Malinda could hear that Arthur's breathing was a little short.
Immediately, the lady pulled out her pipe.
However, it was not lit, and after so many days together, the lady already knew some of Arthur's habits - for example, she didn't mind smoking a pipe, but it was better not to smoke it at the table, because the smoke would affect the taste of the food itself.
Glancing at the pipe on the table, Arthur didn't say much.
He knew that it was Malinda who was soothing his 'deceived heart' with respect.
Then, it's time to take advantage of the situation and ask questions.
In fact, the same is true.
After drinking the milk from the cup, the lady spoke again—
"Arthur, what is your relationship with the 'Last Descendant of Blood'?"
Obviously, after reviewing the situation last night, the lady still noticed that something was wrong.
For example, 'The Last of Blood' appeared just after Feliman had humiliated Arthur.
And Arthur was prepared for this.
He said as he put a piece of fried meat in his mouth.
The taste of this fried meat is very good, which is far beyond Arthur's knowledge of the craftsmanship of Marina's cook.
"After meeting and talking to each other, we made some commitments to each other."
There is no denial, but it is still vague.
Even if Malinda goes to divination, this is roughly the case.
Divination is not omnipotent, and the results of divination are even more vague.
There are so many things that can affect divination.
"Really?
You're going to have to tell your friend to be careful—the name 'Children of Chaos' has spread in the Darkworld.
Maybe one day you'll run into a 'hunter'. ”
Malinda said with a smile.
Hunters, a long-standing profession that has existed since the Empire, were once included in the Inquisition during the Holy Empire, and then became independent in the Silver Age.
Its strength is different, and its evaluation is even more polarized.
In short, a group of troublesome characters.
"Don't worry, he's far more cautious than me."
Arthur did not deny the word 'friend' in Malinda's mouth.
Similarly, Malinda stopped asking.
Obviously, this is the end of this problem.
Then, it was Arthur who moved on to the next question.
The young 'psychic' held a piece of slightly charred white bread in his hand, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but the gaze in his eyes was gradually cold-
"Who are you?"
