Start with the Readers Chapter 46: The negative effects of the Ring of Prediction
Hearing the offer of 200 pounds, the people in the secret room were very tempted. This amount of money is enough to buy a Sequence 9 or even a Sequence 8 main material, and what they paid was just a piece of news.
It's not that no one wants to make up false information to cheat the money away, but those who think so look at Mr. Gaston sitting on the main seat, and think that among the many extraordinary items in this gentleman's hands, there must be The ability to identify the true and false information dispelled this idea.
And the reason why Abner quoted such a high price was actually to attract the attention of that tall lady. It is easier to gain the other party's trust by letting her find him than finding her by himself.
Through reasoning and analysis, he came to the conclusion that the lady would seek revenge from the dragon eye python. However, the targeted weapons that the opponent exchanged at the party were obviously not satisfactory, and the fault tolerance rate was too low. Furthermore, she has gone through a failed adventure, and it may be difficult for her to come up with money to organize a new team at the moment.
At this time, a 'bad guy' who was looking for the giant longan python and paid a big price could obviously get her attention and 'favor'.
Of course, this is also related to Abner's mentality of being a little drifting for the time being after earning 500 pounds. Before that, even if he wanted to put 'bait', he would never give 200 pounds.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence in the secret room, the tall lady said in a low voice: "I have the exact clues of the longan python, but it's not convenient to talk about it here!" Speaking of this, she looked at the host again Mr. Gaston asked, "May I request a safe place to speak with this gentleman alone after the party?"
"It's a trivial matter!" Mr. Gaston nodded naturally, pretending not to recognize Abner, and asked him: "My friend, do you agree to communicate with this lady alone?"
Of course, Abner was more at ease. With Mr. Gaston watching, if he had the heart, he would blackmail that lady and no one else would know. Of course, he would not do such a dishonorable thing, and Mr. Gaston would not condone it. As for Xio, with such a strong sense of justice, she might turn her face on the spot.
"I'm fine." Abner nodded to the tall lady.
After that, Xio proposed to buy the right palm of the 'Silver White War Bear', and the bid was quite high, but unfortunately no one responded...
Time passed by, and seeing that no one proposed a deal, Mr. Gaston announced the end of the party, and began to arrange for people to leave one by one, trying to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Half an hour later, apart from Gaston who was at the main seat, there were only three party members left in the secret room, namely Abner, Hugh, and the tall lady.
Mr. Gaston looked at the three of them, deliberately imitating an old voice:
"Come with me, I will take you to a safe place."
The tall lady frowned and subconsciously glanced at Xio.
"This is my companion!" Abner explained upon seeing this.
Because of Abner's and Hugh's similar attires, the tall lady obviously expected it, and nodded with a slight hesitation, acquiescing to Hugh's existence.
Mr. Gaston led the three of them down from another secret exit of the secret room, turning several times in the middle, and finally came to a spacious underground cave, and then stopped.
"It seems that Mr. Gaston often dug holes under this town in order to find the door of dreams!" Abner teased in his heart, and then asked the lady, "Now we can say Talk about the information about the dragon eye python?"
Seeing that Mr. Gaston had walked into another cave next to him avoiding suspicion, the lady said after organizing her words, "I know the specific whereabouts of the dragon eye python, and I can even give you detailed information. ...But I have a request, you must bring me with you when you go to deal with it, and I want its python skin! For this, I can only charge you 100 pounds for information.”
She earned 100 pounds for prostitution of two vengeful thugs... This lady is really good at calculating! But who made this a seller's market? Abner had actually agreed in his heart, but he still pretended to be hesitant. After hesitating for a long while, he agreed with 'reluctantness', saying: "Yes, let's 'notarize' it with Mr. Gaston!"
"Wait!" The lady interrupted again at this time, "I still need to know your strength, that giant python is very dangerous, I don't want to die!"
"What? You have to verify it yourself?" Abner smiled and shook his head. According to "Gwen's Cave Adventure", this lady is just a Sequence 9, nothing else, just With the 'sea wind hat' on his head, he can hang and beat the opponent.
"It's best to fight each other!" The lady felt the confidence in Abner's words, and she clenched her fists, refusing to flinch in the slightest.
At this moment, Xio stepped forward and said, "Let me fight with you!" After finishing speaking, she sat down on the spot and took out the booster pads in the shoes, because this thing is affecting her performance. .
The lady looked at the girl whose face was covered in oil paint, but at most it only reached her chest, and kindly reminded: "I am a Sequence 9 'soldier', you have to be careful."
Xio stood up again, nodded, and said concisely: "The arbitrator."
Because it was a sparring session, neither of the two women used weapons, so Xio took a step, and came to the left hand side of the female warrior at a very fast speed, lowered her body and hit the opponent's knee directly! Originally, this move was used to hit the ribs or the kidneys, but this female warrior is too tall, so she can only settle for the next best thing.
The female warrior didn't expect Xio to be so agile. Although she was a little flustered, she still made an effective response, raised her left leg to meet Xio's elbow, and wanted to kick her away directly.
But at this time, Xio seemed to have known that she would do that, and dodged the attack in a strange and awkward posture, but hit the opponent's lower abdomen with his elbow slightly upward.
Although the strength of this blow was not heavy, it was clear that the winner had already been decided.
"I lost!" The tall lady was not someone who couldn't afford to lose, she lowered her head and said in frustration.
After retreating a certain distance, he looked at the other party, thought for a while, and said, "You should have not systematically trained knights before. Although you have skills and knowledge directly instilled by potions, your combat awareness is still the same as that of a regular knight. There is a gap between the Cavaliers. Otherwise, I would not win so easily."
"I didn't expect Xio to lie and never blink..." Abner understood from behind that the other party should indeed be from Ye Luzi, but she has experienced a lot of adventures. If it is said that she has poor fighting awareness, it is also possible , but definitely not to the point of being almost instantly killed by Xio! Xio may have used the 'Ring of Prediction' in the previous attack to deter the opponent for a quick victory!
Whether it's the rushing speed beyond ordinary people, the anticipation of the attack, or the exaggerated body twist when dodging, they all borrow the power of the 'clown'. Only the opponent's panic in the face of the assault may be due to the arbitrator's 'majesty' at work.
The lady in the sequence of 'Warrior' was only depressed for a moment, and then she adjusted herself. This time, she and Abner called Mr. Gaston to carry out the 'contract notarization' in a very detailed and detailed manner. After clearly agreeing on the rights and obligations of both parties, he opened his mouth and said:
"The dragon's eye python is in the underground cave of a small island I explored before. The location of the island is more than 200 nautical miles southeast of Damir. It is a deserted island, and there are no ships navigable." Speaking of this, she Glancing at Abner, he said embarrassingly, "I hope you can pay me 30 pounds in advance. I need to recruit sailors again... After the last adventure, because all the combat teams I formed were killed, the sailors who stayed on the ship They were also frightened and refused to follow me."
She didn't reveal the specific coordinates of the island immediately, in case Abner would leave her and find someone to do it alone.
"It turns out that you are still a captain..." Abner suddenly realized that without his own ship, it is impossible to take risks everywhere.
"Yes, although my 'Allenheim' is just a small sailing boat outdated by the times, one day I will become a great adventurer across the sea like Ms. Edwina! "The tall lady said full of longing~IndoMTL.com~Since it has been 'notarized', it is no problem to advance you 30 pounds. Abner took out three 10-pound notes and gave them to the other party, and asked casually, "Where shall we meet later?" "
"At six o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow, at the 'Stone Terrace' west of Damir." The tall lady replied after thinking about it.
……
After the tall lady walked out of the underground cave with 30 pounds in cash, the three of Abner returned to the dormitory of the school.
After removing the disguise, Mr. Gaston said unhurriedly: "Although this lady has only been around Damir for about two weeks, she has a good reputation. Except for the accident last time, working with her People who have been there are more satisfied with her."
At this time, Abner had already cleaned up the oil paint on his face, and changed back into his formal attire. He smiled and complimented: "With your 'notarization' effect, even if she really has ideas, she will have some scruples." .”
"'Notarization' is not omnipotent. A demigod, even some Sequence 5s, can resist its power." Mr. Gaston shook his head.
While they were talking, Hugh also came out after cleaning up, but as soon as she appeared, Abner was stunned. He tried his best to control his face so as not to make any rude expression .
"What's wrong?" Xio asked puzzled.
Abner didn't speak, but pulled her to a half-length mirror in the room.
Xio looked up, and his mind immediately went blank.
Because at this moment, Xio reflected in the mirror has a grotesque expression of squinting eyes and pursed lips on his face, which is exactly the replica of the "funny" in Abner's previous life expression bag!
This is the negative effect of using the 'Ring of Prediction'. It was not obvious that the face was painted with oil just now, but after washing it now, the 'true face' appeared.
