… A godlike reason … Upon hearing the Apothecary's answer, as a Clown, Klein couldn't control the changes in his expression. Fortunately, he still had an iron mask on his face.
The Apothecary didn't notice the reactions of Klein and Eye of Wisdom as he continued, "That's why I like Baekeland very much.
"That's why I like Backlund very much. There are many street girls here. They appear outside music halls and theaters, waiting in the streets and alleys. Some of them are professional, while others are part-time. They were originally female workers and maids, and they have a different flavor. It's said that in certain places in West Borough, there will occasionally be a bankrupt noble lady. It's really something to look forward to."
"…" Klein nudged up the iron mask that covered half his face and quickly changed the topic. "Does your teacher have anything to say about your choice?"
The Apothecary shook his head slightly.
"No, he just kicked me out of the door after teaching me about herbs. He told me to travel the continent and experience life. Damn it, he didn't even tell me where to find the ingredients for the subsequent potions!"
At this point, the Apothecary looked at Klein and added, "If you know where to find the Spring of the Elves marrow crystals, please tell me.
"If you know where I can find the Essence Crystal of the 'Fountain of the Elves', please tell me. I will pay you. Of course, you can also buy it first and sell it to me at a higher price. You are a lucky guy. Maybe you can help me fulfill my wish."
"Alright." Klein casually agreed and asked thoughtfully, "When the time comes, can I use it to exchange for the Apothecary potion formula?"
From his point of view, Apothecary was a very useful support job that could be used to nurture helpers.
The Apothecary, who wasn't too fat but rather rotund, quickly shook his head.
"No!"
"I can only teach my students."
Is this a rule of the Life School of Thought? Perhaps a certain hidden existence has been used as a witness to swear an oath … Klein thought, unsurprised.
At this moment, the Apothecary chuckled.
"But I can tell you where to get the Apothecary formula. It's in Baekeland."
"Very good." Klein was pleasantly surprised.
Realizing that Eye of Wisdom was about to send him off again, he hurriedly asked,
"Mr. Apothecary, do you have any medicine to treat mental disorders?"
Klein was putting on a show for Miss Bodyguard, making her even more certain that he had been slightly influenced by the True Creator and had become a latent lunatic. He was trying his best to seek treatment.
"Yes, sedatives. Ten soli for one. I'll bring you four for the next gathering. Trust me, these are definitely more useful than the ones in the hospital. I've added some spiritual ingredients," the Apothecary answered without hesitation.
How expensive … In Tingen's underground market, the sedatives from the hospital cost one to two soli each, while the ones from the Nighthawks, Mandated Punishers, and Machinery Hivemind cost four to five soli each … As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Klein put on an act and looked at Eye of Wisdom.
"Honorable Sir, may I attend the next gathering?"
Pay attention to the Baekeland Morning Post every day. When there's an advertisement for the purchase of goods by the Ernst Firm on the fifth page, it indicates that there will be a gathering here at eight in the evening the next day. The strength and interval of the knocking depends on the price. The first number is the number of heavy knocks, the second is light, the third is long, and the fourth is short. The rest are meaningless. "Eye of Wisdom nodded.
After describing the information, he sighed.
"Beyonders who don't belong to the official organizations and aren't part of any organization aren't as good as you imagine. On the one hand, we have to hide our secrets and avoid the officials. We have to maintain a cautious and careful state at all times. On the other hand, we have to fight against losing control and madness. Too many of our kind have died because of these two matters.
"Even if we successfully avoid the attention of the officials and avoid losing control and madness, we will still fall into a predicament of lacking ingredients, not being able to find the items we want, and not being able to obtain enough knowledge at any time. I organize such gatherings so that everyone can help each other.
"Unfortunately, it's an era where mysteries are scarce. Many Beyonder ingredients rarely appear again."
That's right, but I have Mr. The Hanging Man, who knows the coordinates of some primitive islands. There's also my classmate from the City of Silver, The Sun, who is constantly fighting against all kinds of monsters in the depths of the darkness. I can rely on them for some Beyonder ingredients … Klein politely got up and bowed to Eye of Wisdom.
"Your character is admirable."
After sitting down again, Klein suddenly thought of something and asked after some deliberation, "What's going on?
He deliberated and asked, "Gentlemen, do you have any mystical items? Just like the one Black Snake sold me, but it doesn't have too serious or negative problems. I want to have some ability to protect myself. "
His plan was to find something he was interested in and figure out the price before determining his goal.
Although I don't have money now, it doesn't mean that I won't have it in the future … Can't I ask for the price if I don't have money? Klein silently added in his heart.
The Apothecary spread his hands, indicating that he didn't have any, or that he wouldn't sell them even if he did. Eye of Wisdom chuckled and said, "I do have some.
"I do have some. What kind do you want to buy? Give me a rough range. "
Some … He's most likely a Savant pathway Beyonder who relies on external objects … Klein didn't hide his envy as he said, "I want something stronger than myself.
It's best if it has mystical powers that don't improve my combat skills. "
He didn't go into too much detail to maintain his image as a beginner.
Eye of Wisdom smiled and said, "I have an item that's very suitable for your requirements.
"I have an item that suits your requirements very well. It was once codenamed '2-081.'"
"2-081?" Klein asked in puzzlement.
His puzzlement was just a facade, and he was more alarmed inside.
This is a Sealed Artifact from the Church of the Goddess, from behind Chanis Gate? Klein didn't expect to encounter a familiar numerical code name here.
Eye of Wisdom casually explained, "Many mystical items have obvious latent dangers that can cause a certain degree of harm.
Therefore, the Churches of the seven orthodox deities are collecting and sealing them. They call them Sealed Artifacts and use numerical codes to distinguish them. "" Many mystical items have obvious latent dangers and can cause a certain degree of harm.
"After a long period of debate and communication, the seven Churches have formed a unified naming system. They use 0, 1, 2, and 3 to indicate the different levels of danger. Among them, Grade 0 is the most dangerous. It's said that it's a terrifying item that can destroy a country or even the World."
"The Churches of the seven orthodox deities will inform each other of their Grade 0 and 1 Sealed Artifacts, telling each other what they have. Therefore, the code names for Grade 0 and Grade 1 won't be repeated. Grade 2 and Grade 3 will be ordered separately. Different Churches might have the same code name."
Klein had long known the general situation from the Nighthawks, but he was very puzzled by one of the problems.
Inform each other of their Grade 0 and 1st Street Sealed Artifacts' code names?
Isn't this exposing our family's assets? It will let the other Churches know how many trump cards we have!
Of course, this can also be seen as a form of strategic deterrence to prevent direct conflict between the seven Churches … Klein thought about the possible reasons.
"Yes, although I can't understand the reason for doing so, it has indeed happened. It's said that at the end of the Fourth Epoch and the beginning of the Fifth Epoch, the seven Churches came to an agreement." Eye of Wisdom spoke unhurriedly, "My 2-081 comes from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. It can allow you to understand and understand a lot. Even if it's an enemy's Beyonder powers, you can quickly identify the specific situation, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and have a chance of imitating them to a certain extent. The stronger the opponent, the higher the chances of failure. Of course, even if you succeed, there will definitely be a huge difference from the original."
That sounds very powerful … Proof that knowledge equals power? In the end, will there be a situation where omniscience equals omnipotence? Hmm … I retract my previous judgment. Old Mister Eye of Wisdom might not be an Appraiser. His identification of items might be based on Sealed Artifact 2-081 … Klein clicked his tongue and asked with interest, "What's up?
"Then, what should I pay to buy it?"
"What flaws does it have?"
"It will keep your brain in a state of high-speed operation. Once the time limit is exceeded, you will become an idiot," Eye of Wisdom answered simply. The description wasn't detailed enough.
At this moment, the Apothecary beside him mumbled, "Perhaps your brain has been damaged.
"Maybe your brain has been damaged. If you keep talking about your collection, sooner or later someone will rob you and kill you!"
Sir, your words of persuasion are never pleasant … Klein couldn't help but lampoon.
Eye of Wisdom laughed out loud and said,
"How do you know that I didn't say it on purpose, and that I'm deliberately waiting for greedy people to take action?"
"Yes, it's just like the entrapment law that Rosell The Great once described."
After the laughter stopped, he patted the armrest of the sofa and sighed, "As a collector, not being able to flaunt my collection to others is a very painful thing."
He then looked at Klein.
"I'm very sorry, but I won't sell 2-081. It's my best collection. I bought it for 6,800 pounds back then. A Sealed Artifact of this level ranges from 4,000 to 20,000 pounds, depending on the specific effects and latent dangers. However, most of the time, it can't be bought even if you have the money."
Then why did you say so much … Klein controlled the twitching of the corners of his mouth.
Eye of Wisdom seemed to sense his reaction and chuckled. "What I really want to recommend are two items.
"What I really want to recommend are two items. One is the brooch, which can allow you to exorcise, purify, and use some of the Sun Domain's spells. The flaw is that as long as you wear it, you will never feel cool, you will always be in the hot summer of the south. The other is a hat that can change shape. Wearing it will allow you to move freely underwater for at least half an hour, and you can use some water and wind domain spells. The flaw is that you will desire water, and once you walk on land, you will become weaker and weaker."
"Similar items cost between 1,500 to 3,500 pounds. Similarly, sometimes, even if you double the price, you might not be able to buy them. This is because they rarely appear. I've spent more than thirty years collecting a few."
Klein nodded slightly.
"I'll think about it and decide at a future gathering."
Having said that, he deliberately smiled.
"Besides, I don't have that much money right now."
