Start with the Readers Chapter 96: A long-lost extraordinary party
At eight o'clock in the evening, wearing a hooded coat and an iron mask, Abner entered the apartment where Detective Eisinger on Iron Gate Street used to organize parties.
Since he came late, the room was already full of people.
Abner took a quick glance, and found that Ms. "Poison Rose", Ms. "Artisan Agent", "Black Snake", "Spider" and other acquaintances were all there, and there were some other people who were very strange, at least He hadn't seen him in the few gatherings he attended before leaving Backlund.
Detective Essinger's old man "Eye of Wisdom" looked at the wall clock in the room, saw that the time was almost there, and said with a smile, "Everyone is here today, we can start now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the "artisan agent" lady stood up first and said:
"I want to sell an extraordinary item. Its name is 'Confession', and it looks like a black revolver. It can add two effects of 'Frost' and 'Black Flame' to the bullets it shoots. Usually When not in use, this revolver can also be in an autonomous invisible state, making it invisible to ordinary people. The negative effect is that it will be cursed by it every time it is used. At first, the effect is very slight and almost imperceptible, but if you do not carry out the 'purification 'Ritual, as you continue to use this revolver, the curse will become deeper and deeper, and in the end it will be hard to get back."
"It can be used for two years, and the price is 550 pounds, or it can be exchanged for the potion formula of 'Barbarian'."
Confession? Seeing this effect is the witch's confession, right? Just thinking about it is scary. Abner muttered to himself, and thought again: Almost all the items brought out by this "craftsman agent" lady are time-sensitive, which means that they are not made of Extraordinary properties or Extraordinary materials, but more like she owns them. It can provide a variety of means to be contaminated with "extraordinary breath" materials, and then let "craftsmen" use these materials with extraordinary breath to create items.
"What is the effect of the curse? Look at the name of this gun. Could it be that it curses me to 'fall in love' with it?" Just as Abner was thinking wildly, a slightly familiar voice sounded not far from him.
Abner looked around and saw a chubby man raising his hand.
Listen to the tone... Darkwill? He sneaked into the teacher's party so quickly?
Due to the obvious features, Abner immediately recognized the fat pharmacist whom he had just seen yesterday. He didn't dare to look any further, so as not to be found out that he knew him, so he turned his attention back to the "craftsman's agent" lady.
"You guessed it right, the effect of the curse is to make you more and more inseparable from this revolver. When the curse breaks out, the cursed person will devote himself to it and kill himself. If you use It is very frequent, I suggest that it is best to do a 'purification' once a month, and it is best to be supervised by someone else, because it will affect your judgment and make you not want to 'purify' at all." The lady affirmed the pharmacist's words .
"Ah? Is that really the case? I... I said it casually." The pharmacist was a little dumbfounded when he heard it,
"I want it, 560 pounds."
"580 pounds."
"I offer 590 pounds!"
……
Since this revolver is really powerful and can save the cost of hunting bullets, there are quite a few people who participated in the bidding. In the end, it was bought by "Black Snake" at a price of 625 pounds.
Next, some people are begging for shopping, and some are selling goods and news. Although there are requests and sales, there are not many deals that can be reached. Even the "Eye of Wisdom" pretended by the teacher asks for a premium of 500 pounds "The heart of the tree" and no one answered. Obviously, at this level of gatherings, materials at the Sequence 6 level are still too scarce.
Soon, it was the turn of "Black Snake" who had just bought the "Confession" revolver, and he said in a low voice: "I have a request, someone in the dock area is instigating the workers to strike, I need someone who will not disturb the official extraordinary." In the case of the winner, solve the five representatives who are the leaders of the workers. For this, I am willing to pay 100 pounds. Witnessed by Mr. 'Eye of Wisdom'."
Detective Essinger frowned. He didn't want to witness a murder, but just as he was about to refuse, he heard someone ask.
"Are those five representatives Extraordinary?"
"No, those are just five ordinary people." "Black Snake" shook his head.
"Give 100 pounds for killing five ordinary people? Are you really kidding me?" The man sneered.
"Maybe you have misunderstood something. What I mean by 'solve' is not to kill those five people, but to let them 'naturally' change their minds. If I just kill them, can't I do it myself?" "Black Snake" replied, emphasizing "naturally".
If that's all it is, then there's no harm in witnessing it... Detective Essinger swallowed his refusal after hearing this.
"If it's to make a few ordinary people change their minds, then I can do it." At this time, Ms. "Poison Rose" who was sitting in the corner said.
Abner also took advantage of the opportunity to look at the lady who bought his "Seer" formula and sold the teacher a copy of the "Joker" Extraordinary Characteristics, and found that she was breathing slightly when she spoke, as if Breathing is generally difficult.
The teacher did say before that she seems to be injured... But after more than a week, she still hasn't recovered? I'm afraid this injury is not simple.
Abner glanced thoughtfully at "Poison Rose" and watched her sign a contract with "Black Snake" under the notarization of the teacher. It is designated to go to the dock area to take a look around. And among the Extraordinary present here, I am afraid that many people will be moved by this thought.
Ms. "Poison Rose" doesn't seem to be afraid of being exposed at all. I don't know which path she is a Beyonder and what sequence she is.
After the "Black Snake" incident, the pharmacist suspected of being Darkwill stood up. He opened his hood to reveal a face wearing an iron black mask, but the mask only covered the part above the bridge of the nose. Let the fat on his cheeks appear clearly, as if shaking.
"I have four bottles of precious potions for sale, two of which can effectively stop bleeding and promote wound healing. Believe me, this is better than going to the clinic for a suturing operation, and it will work within six months." The pharmacist took out several bottles filled with liquid, introduced them eloquently, and continued:
"The other two bottles, with a validity period of one and a half months, can allow men to regain the impulse they had when they were seventeen or eighteen years old, and become an extraordinary person on the bed. Hehe, you understand what I mean, even if the validity period is exceeded, it can still It produces an effect, but it will spread from there to the whole body, and the user will become extremely violent, with a substantial increase in strength, speed and agility, uh, after half an hour, he will fall into weakness."
After he finished speaking, the whole room fell into a brief silence. It was not until half a minute later that Ms. "Poison Rose" said: "I want those two bottles of healing potions, please make a price."
"Don't you want these two bottles of 'Rage' potion? If you buy them together, I'll give you a discount!" The pharmacist asked with a smile.
"No! If you keep talking nonsense, I won't even buy those two bottles of healing potions." Ms. "Poison Rose" snorted.
"Okay, okay. 20 pounds a bottle." The pharmacist said helplessly.
Then, after a few more transactions, it was finally Abner's turn. He took out 3 low-level spells, namely Sleeping Charm, Underwater Breathing Charm and Courage Charm. This brought him £60 in total.
Speaking of which, these three spells were not made by him praying to the gods, but by praying for the power of the pure white eye through the prayers pointing to the "unknown place"~IndoMTL.com~. The difference is that there is almost no cost to do so, because there is no need to sacrifice the corresponding spiritual materials to please the gods.
Of course, the shortcomings are also obvious. First of all, the ability given to the spell must be completely analyzed by the pure white eye; secondly, the power of the spell is also much worse than the spell made by praying to the corresponding god, and it can only be regarded as a low-end version. Among the abilities that Abner has analyzed so far, the power of the skills of the sun and tyrant paths is relatively small, and the rest are far behind.
Finally, the higher the level of ability, the shorter the time it can be retained after the spell is given. For example, the "notarization" of the Sequence 6 level can only last for less than an hour, which cannot be sold at all, so Abner Only three Sequence 9 spells were sold, at least they can last for about 2 months.
The sale of charms this time was just to test the waters, and the results did not satisfy Abner. Although they were all sold, he clearly felt that the Extraordinary in the party disliked the fact that the validity period was too short. If it is used in the near future, I'm afraid he will fail this time.
"It seems that in the short term, we still have to sell the charms made by praying to the **** of 'knowledge and wisdom'..."
……
Another day, Friday, July 27.
Abner saw Xio who had come for an appointment again in his rented house in the East District, but he was startled the moment he met. Because Xio's face was pale at this time, without any blood at all!
"How did this happen?" Abner asked in surprise and concern.
Xio handed over the gold coin from the Solomon Empire period, and said with lingering fear: "Don't use its 'lucky' effect continuously! It only needs one drop of blood on the first day..."
"But the next day...was horrible!"
