He's good at concocting potions, treating illnesses, and growing quite a number of herbs in the sewers … Is he an apothecary? I wonder if he's a member of the Life School of Thought or a believer of Earth Mother? Of course, it's more likely to be wild … Klein listened thoughtfully and did not speak carelessly.
In the Kingdom of Rouen, because the Church of the Storm rejected the Eternal Blazing Sun, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and the Church of the Evernight Goddess and the Church of the God of Combat were incompatible, only Earth Mother obtained the right to proselytize. However, under the tacit suppression of the three Churches, they only had a few churches with pitifully few believers. They didn't even need to form a Beyonder squad, and even if they did, they wouldn't be recognized by the government and wouldn't be able to cooperate with the police. They were considered "illegal armed forces."
According to the Nighthawks' internal records, the Church of Earth Mother controlled the Planter and Apothecary Sequence pathways. However, the latter didn't seem to be complete.
The hood of the man suspected to be the Apothecary was pulled back, revealing his iron-black mask. However, the mask only covered the area above the bridge of his nose, making the fat on his cheeks clearly visible as if they were trembling.
"I repeat, I need someone to help me clean up the new beasts that have appeared in the sewers. You only need to clean up the Baekeland Bridge area. I will pay you with four bottles of precious medicine. Two of them can effectively stop the bleeding and promote the healing of the wounds. Trust me, this is much better than going to the clinic for suturing. It will be effective for six months," the man who was suspected to be the 'apothecary' stated his request and the corresponding conditions.
He suddenly chuckled and continued describing.
"The other two bottles have an expiry date of one and a half months. It can allow a man to regain the impulses he had when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, turning him into a Beyonder in bed. Hehe, you know what I mean. Even if it exceeds the expiry date, it will still produce an effect. However, it will spread from there to the entire body. The user will become abnormally violent, and their strength, speed, and agility will increase greatly. Uh, they will enter a state of weakness after half an hour."
Why does he look like an old military doctor who sticks advertisements on telephone poles … And he's even shamelessly promoting expired medicine … Klein couldn't help but silently criticize.
After saying that, the suspected Apothecary saw that the activity room was silent. No one spoke, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "You're the Apothecary.
"On top of the four precious potions, I'll add an additional 30 pounds!"
Finally, a man sitting on the edge of the sofa spoke.
He looked around and said in a low voice,
"I accept this commission. Pay two bottles of medicine in advance, one of each type. Mr. Eye of Wisdom will be the witness."
"No problem." An old man on a single-seater sofa nodded.
The wrinkles on his cheeks were deep, his skin was slightly shriveled, and his voice sounded old. From this, Klein could tell that he was not a young man.
"Alright." The suspected Apothecary heaved a sigh of relief.
After the deal was made, the gathering seemed to liven up a little. Soon, a woman whose face was completely covered by the shadow of a hood said,
"I want to sell two weapons."
Weapons? Klein adjusted his sitting posture and became even more focused.
For the time being, he was unable to level up. If he wanted to increase his strength, he could only start with external objects.
"One is a runic steel sword, created by the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun. It has purification and exorcism effects. It's the nemesis of water ghosts, vengeful spirits, living corpses, and other undead creatures. It can be used for another three years. Of course, its sharpness is enough to kill." The woman's voice alternated between high and low, clearly concealing her characteristics. "500 pounds, or the formula of Sequence 8 Barbarian, and you can have it."
So expensive … For me, there's no reason I have to obtain it … If I really encounter an undead creature that I can't deal with at the moment, blowing the copper whistle is a better solution … Even if I don't find Mr. Aztec, just that messenger alone should be able to deter many undead creatures … Klein shook his head inwardly as he listened to the woman introduce the second weapon.
"Meat Saw Knife. It has an intricate mechanical structure and can be transformed. It's easy to carry around. This is a weapon for combat. It's made by an outstanding craftsman and is rare. 25 pounds."
The price difference between a weapon with Beyonder effects and a similar one without such effects is really huge … Klein watched from the side until the runic steel sword was bought by a gloomy man in another corner, and the Meat Saw Knife became Mr. Eye of Wisdom's collection.
Some of the subsequent transactions were successful, while others were unsuccessful. The only thing that Klein was interested in was the Fortune Accessory, a Beyonder item that could increase one's fortune for three months. However, this wasn't his main goal, and the price wasn't good either.
Seeing that the scene had returned to silence, he slowly exhaled and suppressed his voice.
"I want to sell an item."
After attracting everyone's attention, he took out an iron cigar case and pushed out the dark red Beyonder characteristic that resembled jelly.
Without needing to organize his words, he introduced it, having already prepared a script in his mind.
"This is something I obtained from a corpse. I don't know what it does, but I find it magical. Perhaps anyone here knows it?"
Klein deliberately didn't mention that it was a Beyonder characteristic, nor did he mention that the dark red "jelly" in his hand could replace the main ingredient of the Hunter potion.
This involved the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Indestructibility, and he didn't want to benefit the members of this Beyonder gathering.
In addition, Klein still had the intention of probing to see if anyone here knew about the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Indestructibility. Such a fellow was definitely stronger than the others, or perhaps he had a stronger background, making him suitable for bodyguard missions.
At the same time, he continued pretending to be an ordinary person who didn't know much about the Beyonder circle. Although the members of the gathering here couldn't see through the iron mask and see his face clearly, Kaspars Kalinin knew what he looked like, and many people in the activity room likely knew this black-market arms dealer.
"Be careful" and "cautious" were the words that Klein had been emphasizing to himself before and after he left the house today.
Gazes scrutinized the dark red object in his hand, but Klein wasn't a Spectator, so he couldn't tell what it meant.
After more than ten seconds, no one spoke. The activity room was as quiet as a cemetery.
At this moment, Eye of Wisdom, who was sitting on the single-seater sofa, coughed and said,
"I roughly know what it is and what it does, but knowledge needs to be exchanged for something."
"I'll pay 400 pounds. Trust me, this is a fair price. Of course, you have the right to refuse."
The main ingredient of a Sequence 9 potion is about 150 to 200 pounds. A total of two are needed, which adds up to about 400 pounds … The price given is very reasonable … This old gentleman with the code name Eye of Wisdom seems to recognize that it belongs to the Hunter Sequence … He doesn't need divination to recognize it directly … Could he be a Sequence 7 Appraiser of the Savant pathway? Klein thought for a moment.
"Deal."
"But, sir, you don't have to pay in a hurry. I have another request."
"What commission?" Eye of Wisdom asked in an old voice.
Klein deliberated and said,
"It's like this. I offended a … uh, according to your circle, it should be a Sequence 6, maybe a Sequence 5 guy. I want to hire a bodyguard."
"Sequence 6, maybe 5? Why don't you just die in peace? If we have reached this level, why do we still need to participate in such small gatherings? "The man suspected to be the" Apothecary "blurted out. There was a hint of mockery in his surprise.
Although the other members of the gathering didn't say a word, from the fact that no one accepted the mission, their thoughts were similar to the man suspected to be the "Apothecary."
Eye of Wisdom chuckled and said, "Perhaps you don't know enough about our circle.
"Perhaps you don't know enough about our circle. Sequence 6 or 5 are extremely powerful and terrifying figures. Yes, there have been many cases of Sequence 8s and Sequence 9s killing powerhouses of this level, but that's an experience that's difficult to replicate. I believe no one here is willing to take the huge risk to protect you. Uh … If we can confirm that the other party is only Sequence 6 and doesn't have the corresponding mystical item, perhaps someone will challenge this mission."
"Alright, I can't be sure …" Klein threw up his hands and said, "Then I can only work hard to save myself. What can 400 pounds buy? Uh, the mystical item you were talking about?"
"Believe me, a mystical item that can be bought with 400 pounds definitely won't be able to deal with your enemy. It might even bring you additional danger. I suggest that you apologize to the other party, sincerely apologize. Perhaps 400 pounds can buy his understanding," Eye of Wisdom advised sincerely.
Frankly speaking, I've considered it, but I don't think they will accept it … Klein was about to answer when the man who had accepted the mission of clearing the sewers suddenly laughed.
"Perhaps, you can take a gamble."
"I have a mystical item here. I'll sell it to you for 400 pounds."
"It can allow you to hear the voice of a great existence. If you're lucky and decipher useful information from it, you will become very powerful. Protecting yourself will no longer be a problem. Well, if you're unlucky and decipher a curse, or if you can't, you will be injured or even die."
"Do you want to take a gamble?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Eye of Wisdom growled, "Black Snake, don't mention that ominous item of yours!"
Black Snake chuckled and said, "I didn't lie.
I didn't violate the rules here. I told him the pros and cons and let him choose for himself. Well, the probability of deciphering useful information is about ten percent. Do you want to take a gamble? "
Russian roulette in the Beyonder world … Hearing the voice of a great existence … This is the Aurora Order's Listener, right? An item left behind after the Secrets Suppliant's corresponding Sequence 8 Listener lost control? Klein looked at Black Snake, who was suspected to be a member of the Aurora Order, and thought of many things.
Maybe I can take a gamble? No, it can't be called a gamble, because I want to bring this item above the gray fog before using it … I can already bring real items above the gray fog … This way, I can avoid harm to the greatest extent … However, this is only the relic of a Sequence 8 Beyonder, so the corresponding gains might not be that good … 400 pounds isn't cheap … As his thoughts raced, Klein nodded solemnly.
