Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Mysterious Old Man

In the black market of Carter City, Asher and Elle make a beeline for a dilapidated stall.

The stall owner is a white-haired old man, wearing a shabby linen coat, his old face is unwavering, and there are a few messy antiquities scattered on the stall, including ancient pottery, ancient clocks, and some ornaments that are old at a glance.

"Old man Lucas, how do you sell this ancient clock?" asked Ashur as he picked up an ancient clock and looked at the old man lying on the chair with his eyes closed.

Lucas opened his eyes and glanced at Ya Xiu and said lightly: "5000 gold coins" (1 amethyst coin = 10 gold coins = 100 silver coins = 1000 copper coins, Carter City is a wealthy city, but even so, the ordinary family of three in Carter City does not eat or drink, and the income is only about 50 purple gold coins a year, so the most commonly used by ordinary people are gold coins. )

"Well, old man Lucas, you're still so dark. Asher looked at the worn-out ancient clock in his hand, then at the price, and then closed his eyes and recuperated Lucas said speechlessly.

"Naturally, I set the price of my stuff. Lucas opened his eyes and looked at the ancient bell in Ashur's hand and said lightly.

"Okay, Old Man Lucas is not joking, we want the information of one of the twelve apostles of the Temple, Sword Emperor Reiner, do you have it here?"

"Sword Emperor Reiner's information? 1000 gold coins are good. Fakasin pointed a finger at Asher and said lightly.

"Why is it so expensive to sell a piece of information? Ashur couldn't help but look at Lucas who was lying in his chair and complained.

"Didn't I say that my things will naturally be valued by me, but if you provide me with your information, boy, I would be willing to give you Reiner's information cheaper. Farkas shook his head and looked at Asher with a helpless face and said lightly.

"I'm just an ordinary student at East, there's nothing worth documenting. Asher shook his head and looked at Lucas, who had a calm face, and said lightly.

Lucas watched as Asher was silent.

Ashur was stared at by Lucas, so he had to say helplessly: "Forget it, anyway, I made a lot of money in that intramural qualifying competition, and 1,000 gold coins will be 1,000 gold coins." Asher said as he threw out a bag of purple gold coins and tossed it to Lucas.

"Then come with me. Lucas said as he got up and led Asher and Ellie to the hut behind him.

The hut was dilapidated and shabby, and there were some strange antiquities placed on the shelves around it, the most conspicuous was a huge ancient clock hanging on the wall, Farkas walked to the ancient clock, turned the hands of the ancient clock a few times, and suddenly the ground shook, and the ground of the hut suddenly cracked, and after a while, an underground secret room appeared.

"You wait here. Farkas looked at Asher and Ellie, who looked surprised, and said lightly. As he spoke, he walked into the underground chamber.

"What kind of person is this old man Lucas, it feels so mysterious. Elle exclaimed as she looked at the humble hut revealing a secret room.

"How do I know, I met this old man by chance on the black market, but this old man is not simple. Asher looked at the dark chamber and said solemnly.

"Well, I can see that, too. Ellie also looked solemnly at the secret room and nodded.

Asher and Ellie were chatting here, and after a while, Lucas came out of the secret room.

"This is what you want," Lucas said lightly as he walked out of the chamber and looked at Asher. As he spoke, he threw a scroll at Ashur.

"Thank you, old man Lucas. Asher took the scroll and thanked Lucas. As he spoke, he looked at the scroll in his hand, the content of the dossier was very little, and Ashur read it after a while.

"Old man Lucas doesn't have any other information? Asher shook his head and looked at Lucas, who had a calm face, and said helplessly.

"No, there is not much information about the twelve apostles of the temple, because their information is the secret of the temple, and although Reiner is known as the head of the twelve apostles, he is indeed very low-key, when he was young, he challenged the masters of various countries across the continent, and he also used a pseudonym, and then he has been in retreat and cultivation in the temple and the cartel city he guarded, and rarely comes out" Farkas looked at Ya Xiu, who was depressed, and explained lightly.

"That's right. Asher sighed helplessly, it seemed that he had only hope in Formeo and Luna.

"But old man Lucas, it seems too expensive for you to sell me 1,000 gold coins for these useless materials. Asher looked at Lucas, who had a calm face, and said speechlessly. As he spoke, he tossed the scroll back to Lucas.

This is the information of the twelve apostles of the Temple, so it's worth the price. Lucas took the scroll and looked at Asher, who was speechless, and said lightly.

"Well, count me out of luck. Asher sighed helplessly. After saying that, he waved his hand, turned around and left the hut with Ellie.

After Asher and Ellie go out. Ellie couldn't help but look at Ashur and asked, "What information does Ashur have in that file?"

"There is no useful information, the dossier is full of superficial information, some things that Reiner has done and some tasks that have been completed, and the only thing that is not superficial information is probably Reiner's background. But it doesn't work for us. Asher shook his head and looked at Ellie and sighed.

"Oh, what is Reiner's origins?" said Ellie, looking at the sighing Asher.

Reiner was not from a famous family, but an orphan adopted by the Temple from an early age. I think this is also an important reason why Chloe's father chose to marry Reiner. Ashur thought for a moment and looked at Ellie and said lightly.

"Well, why is it important for Reiner to be an orphan?" Elle wondered as she looked at Asher.

Because there would be no conflicts of interest between the families, and at the same time, they would be able to make friends with the Temple, and Claure would be protected by the Temple, which could be said to kill three birds with one stone. Ashur thought for a moment and explained to Ellie.

"I see, but even so many benefits are not a reason to sacrifice Chloe's happiness. Elle clenched her fists and looked off into the distance and said angrily.

"Well, that's true. So let's think of something else. Asher shook his head, looked at the sky in the distance, and sighed.

Meanwhile, on the side of Meleo and Luna.

"Grandpa Bunier, we have something to see Chloe. Vermeo looked at Bunier Dao, who was standing in the doorway.

"Is there anything important for you to find Miss? Miss Vermeo and Miss Luna. Buniel asked, looking at Vermeo and Luna, who had come to him. There was a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Well, it's not of much importance, but what is Chloe doing? Don't you have time to see us?" said Vermeo, looking at a bewildered Bunier.
