Start with the Readers Chapter 437: Poverty
Latest URL: Seeing her friend "shrink" back, Xiu almost covered her face, but was also a little moved. She almost wanted to take the initiative to give up the materials to the other party to "fulfill" her friendship with herself...
But after thinking about it, this kind of behavior has no meaning other than wasting the materials of the "sacrifice" ceremony and making Abner laugh, so he can only let it go.
Of course, more importantly, that is disrespect to Mister Fool.
At this time, seeing that no one spoke again, Abner looked at Alger, the "Hanged Man" beside him, and said after deliberation: "Thank you for your help about the previous incident... and I couldn't think about it." Zhou... Now that I think about it, it's really inappropriate for you to collect that person's bounty."
Did Mr. "Tower" and Mr. "The Hanged Man" do anything important in private? Hearing what he said, "Justice", "Judgment", and "Magician" all pricked up their ears.
"It doesn't matter... What's more, those three people alone brought me more than a thousand pounds." "The Hanged Man" Alger shook his head, he now values it more than those bounties Friendship with "Tower".
After all, the other party not only has a wide range of knowledge, but also has strength, background, and connections. He also seems to have become Mr. "Fool"'s favored person. He wants to establish a good relationship with the other party both in public and in private.
If you suffer a little loss now, you may earn more in the future.
Hearing his words, Abner pondered for a few seconds before saying: "But you have to bear a certain risk... Well, I can tell you a piece of information to compensate the 'Smart Talker' ' that part of the bounty."
Alger wanted to refuse at first, but seeing that "Tower" spoke solemnly, he swallowed the words again, and asked instead: "What information?"
Abner organized the language and said: "You should know that when taking the Sequence 5 potion, you need the cooperation of the corresponding ritual..." Speaking of this, he saw that everyone except Miss "Magician" Nodding his head, he continued, "The information I provided is the ritual requirements required by the 'Ocean Singer', so that you can prepare in advance... After all, you are upgrading a little too fast, so you may not report your progress. Use the ritual provided by the Church of the Storm."
Hearing these words, Alger was a little surprised, but also a little happy. Although he hasn't even collected all the potion materials for Sequence 6, he firmly believes that he will definitely become an "Ocean Singer"...and just like " According to the "Ta", he really intends to conceal his promotion speed.
"Then I would like to thank you for your kindness..." Argel did not refuse this time, and asked in a tone as calm as possible, "What are the requirements of the ceremony?"
"Do you need to communicate alone?" Abner looked around and asked with a smile.
"No need." "The Hanged Man" Alger shook his head, anyway, it's knowledge for nothing, and there are no other Beyonders of the "Sailor" path in the Tarot Society, so there's no need to be so stingy.
"The content of the ceremony is to consume the magic potion in the stomach of an Obnis..." Abner said in a relaxed tone.
The "Fool" Klein sitting on the top noticed the change in "Tower"'s mood, and couldn't help being a little surprised. He thought to himself: Why do you feel that Mr. "Tower" is happier than "The Hanged Man"? Is he that fond of showing off his knowledge? No... Maybe unsolicited information was part of his "play"?
In fact, his guess was not wrong. Abner took the initiative to send the "wool" this time. While returning the favor of the "Hanged Man", he did have the idea of deepening the Tarot Club's impression of his "erudition" .
On the other side, after Alger listened to the content of the ceremony, the corresponding information quickly appeared in his mind:
Obunis is an ancient sea monster that can directly swallow a sailing ship. It has a huge and twisted body, as many as three heads, and tangled tentacles. It is the protagonist of many legends on the sea. ;
Most of these sea monsters have been tamed by the Church of Storms and have a fixed area of activity, but it is not known whether they have the wisdom close to humans.
"It's no wonder that the church wants to control Obnis, not other sea monsters... No wonder there are so many Extraordinary people in the 'sailor' path among pirates, but only a few can reach Sequence 5. They are either inherited directly, Either the subordinates of the 'King of the Five Seas' and the 'Queen of Mysteries'..."
Alger frowned slightly, but he didn't have much trouble. After all, he was still some distance away from Sequence 5, and he had plenty of time to think about how to bypass the "monopoly" of the church.
"Thank you, this information is very important to me." "The Hanged Man" Alger solemnly thanked "Tower" after recovering.
Abner smiled and replied, "This is your reward", then looked at the three ladies opposite, and asked, "Ladies, can you help me buy a new steam engine?" ? The power doesn’t need to be too big, 16 horsepower is enough.”
"Justice" Audrey blinked her eyes. Although she often shopped, she had never bought a steam engine, and she didn't know anything about performance parameters, so she didn't know how to answer.
Similar to her is "Magician" Fors. Although she is a believer in the "God of Steam and Machinery", she doesn't know much about the entire mechanical field, and she doesn't pay attention to it when she reads newspapers... Really don't know where to buy it.
Only Miss "Judgment" asked after pondering for a moment: "Can you accept 90% new second-hand goods?" MI9 just recently confiscated a batch from a profiteer colluding with gangsters. 'Bolton-Donald' 2, I can find a way to help you get one."
"Ninety percent new...how much?" Abner asked with his eyes brightened.
"The internal price should not cost 100 pounds." Xio obviously understood, and replied without hesitation.
I remember that the new machine of this model costs at least 500 pounds, which is really cheap! Abner thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then please help me buy one as soon as possible, and I will 'sacrifice' the money after the Tarot meeting."
Considering that Hugh just bought the materials and should be in a financial deficit, Abner decided to give the money first.
After his question was over, "Magician" Fors quietly took a breath and said:
"I want to buy the blood of deep-sea marlin, and pay in gold pounds."
Although my savings are empty, I can still ask for a mortgage to borrow and return it to her after the new book comes out... She silently encouraged herself.
Money is indeed one of the main reasons that restrict the promotion of many Extraordinary people...I don't know how Abner managed to scrape together so much money to buy materials...Although he is a "heroic detective", he seems to be very famous Big, but it seems that she hasn't handled many real cases... Forsi's thoughts suddenly diverged.
Just when she thought no one would respond, Alger, the "Hanged Man" who just learned about the "Ocean Singer" promotion ceremony, said in a good mood:
"I saw the blood of the deep-sea marlin at the gathering of the big pirates before, but unfortunately, you have missed it. You should have said it earlier. No, I was wrong. Did not join the Tarot Club."
Then what do you mean by this? Show off your seniority? After regaining her senses, Forsi pouted secretly, and asked solemnly:
"Mr. Hanged Man, please pay more attention to me. The price is acceptable between 300 and 400 pounds."
My credit with Xio is only about so much...
Alger let out a sigh:
"The sea is wider than the land. The pirates may not meet once every half a year. Even in the capitals of the islands where they sold their stolen goods, there will be no gathering of extraordinary materials.
Only the metropolises ~IndoMTL.com~ of Backlund, Trier, St. Millon, and Feneporte City can absorb a large number of materials. Judging from your accent, you should be from Backlund, or you should have settled in Backlund for many years. "
You mean, I have to rely on myself? But when buying materials in Backlund, the people at the Extraordinary Party will definitely not give credit... Fors almost looked up at the towering dome. She touched her face, looked around, and asked very sincerely:
"Everyone, do you have any good ways to make money?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she found that everyone fell into silence at the same time, and only Abner replied with a smile:
"As long as you have the strength, you can try to hunt down those pirates or wanted criminals who have bounties. Although it is dangerous, the rewards are often very good."
It's really good...but if I go to hunt them, isn't that to give away their heads? Maybe something terrible will happen too! While laughing at herself, Fors closed her mouth wisely.
She saw that, except for Mister Fool, maybe most of the people in the party were as short of money as she was...
