The ability [Herder] originated from the Door of All Doors.
It was obviously controlled by the Medici family.
Chung Shen-soo later advanced to a [Descender], which replaced and included this profession. Therefore, he also had the ability to enslave spirits.
The effect of showing it at this moment was astonishing.
Also, it would not attract too much attention.
After all, this was Carreston City. If he took out a flying sword and killed everyone, it would definitely attract an overwhelming search.
Dying from the mysterious system would only be an internal conflict.
Even if the clues pointed to [Herder], the fifth agency might not even investigate.
After all, would a bunch of dogs bite their master?
"Your Excellency 'Count', thank you for your kindness."
Chung Shen-soo put his hand on his chest and responded with a smile.
The man did not attack or show any killing intent earlier. Of course, he knew that this man was not here to kill people, but to protect him.
"If I knew that you belonged to the Medici family, I wouldn't have to worry."
Sir Count seemed a little depressed. "Also … why would someone as honorable as you come to such a gathering in search of mysterious knowledge?"
The members of the Medici Clan should have learned the relevant content!
He did not see the man's expression under the mask, but he heard a lonely voice. "I am not directly under the noble Medici family. My family only inherited part of the knowledge of the Sequence, and the rest is incomplete …"
There were many branches of the Medici family, such as Felix. It was normal for him to lack certain aspects of mysterious knowledge.
"I see."
Count nodded slightly. Even so, the man's identity was still very noble.
Also, when the fifth sequence was extremely rare, the fourth sequence could be considered a big shot in the mysterious world.
His attitude was still very amiable. "I have some information that is extremely confidential. I wonder if you would be interested?"
"I'm very interested in the missing knowledge of my family."
Chung Shen-soo replied and took out his wallet. "Gold pounds are not a problem!"
"As a [Herder], you must be interested in its higher sequence!" Sir Count chuckled. "But only the Medici family has high-level knowledge about the fifth sequence, [Apostle]. Perhaps you can try to contribute to the country and earn enough merit to return to the main family, or apply to exchange …"
"So?"
Chung Shen-soo asked.
He was now playing the role of a member of the Medici family's side branch, a Fourth Sequence professional, which was already powerful enough.
Furthermore, it would be the safest and most convenient way to look for it in the main house. It was impossible to purchase it from the outside world.
"So … you don't have much need for real professional knowledge, you just want to buy some general introductions … However, you must be interested in powerful cursed objects, right? That's also a way to increase my strength quickly … "
Count smiled and said: "In this increasingly chaotic era, we all need enough strength to protect ourselves!"
"You have a powerful cursed item for sale?"
Chung Shen-soo asked tentatively.
"It's just a clue, but it's powerful enough to surpass our level …"
Count said, "I can sell this information, but I choose to give it to you for free, because none of us can get it alone. We need to cooperate."
"Looks like it's going to be very troublesome."
Chung Shen-soo frowned: "What about the information?"
"It's a shroud of a very high level. It's enough to enable the holder to fight against a Fifth Sequence strong person … It will be shipped back to Carreston one year after the black fog dissipates … I still need to continue to inquire about the specific information. Maybe you can try it with the Medici family …"
The Earl chuckled.
'This feeling … You're trying to trick me into asking for information for you, right?'
Chung Shen-soo secretly rolled his eyes and asked: "Sounds good, I'll give it a try. How do I contact you?"
"Just send the letter to the gathering place today."
Count replied with a smile, his figure slowly retreated into the darkness and disappeared.
…
"Haha … You like to play tricks. A cursed object that can make a Fifth Sequence professional fight against a Fifth Sequence professional?"
The other party thought that Chung Shen-soo did not know much about the Fifth Sequence, but he did not know that Chung Shen-soo was a real expert, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that there was a big problem.
"How can two mere 4th sequence professions covet an item of this level? There's a real big shot behind Count? "
"A shroud? Whose corpse is it wrapped around? A demigod? Or … those real gods? "
He snapped his fingers, causing a layer of flame to appear all over his body.
This was a real use of his own rank, eliminating all traces, and then his figure slowly disappeared into the void.
At the entrance of the Flea Nest Market.
Chris, who looked anxious, saw Chung Shen-soo slowly walking out of the market. He could not help but look surprised: "Mr. Li Wei, it's great that you're okay …"
He looked around and could not help but lower his voice: "You're too eye-catching, such a huge amount of wealth, it's easy to arouse everyone's greed …"
"Maybe I'm lucky, or maybe the organizer of this gathering is very fair."
Chung Shen-soo responded with a smile and snapped his fingers, erasing any possible clues for Chris.
The two got into a carriage together, and like countless others, they mixed into the crowd and left the area.
…
Inside the study room.
Chung Shen-soo sat behind the desk, instructing Old Brown not to let anyone disturb him. He then took out the reward from today's mysterious gathering: the black tinder box.
"Touch it three times and call out the person who stole the fire. Do you think you're Pandora's Box or Prometheus?"
Chung Shen-soo ridiculed as he stared at the tinder box.
He also understood why this cursed item was not the main reason. The main reason was not the price, but the uncertainty of wishes.
In this world, there were many hidden beings who used all kinds of wishes to attract believers.
Most of them could not be realized, or were extremely twisted.
For example, if one wished for a few gold pounds, it might be successfully realized, but if one wished for endless wealth, they might be thrown into a gold mine and sealed alive!
Or if one wished for an immortal life, the result would be an immortal stone!
It could be said that it was quite a scam.
"But this is different. Maybe there's something sealed in the box that needs to be unsealed in this way? I feel that the elf probably won't fulfill any wishes … "
Chung Shen-soo tried a few more methods and confirmed the strength of the sealed person inside. It was probably around the fifth rank, and he suddenly had an idea.
He closed the study room, stroked the tinder box, and chanted in the ancient Mien language: "The person who stole the fire!"
Inside the tinder box, there was a sound of a mechanism turning. Countless complex patterns slowly opened, and a dark flame immediately burned.
A giant dog with smooth black fur and eyes as big as buckets suddenly jumped out of the tinder box.
It opened its bloody mouth, and its huge eyes stared at Chung Shen-soo with great interest, and said in the ancient Mien language: "Lucky person, you opened me, so you must fulfill my three wishes!"
