Garon also found out from the two that they worked at the tax bureau and the water conservancy bureau respectively.
The water conservancy bureau that Nini worked at was on the street that faced the palace. Many of their topics were related to the nobles and officials that went in and out of the palace.
"Speaking of which, I saw the First Concubine's carriage leave the main palace this morning and head towards the side palace. I used to be able to see the First Concubine's guards admiring the flowers from afar, but I haven't seen them for a long time now." Nini said casually.
Garon frowned slightly. "The First Concubine left the main palace today. It's Saturday, isn't the ceremony held the day after tomorrow?"
"So you know about it too." Nini looked at Garon in surprise. He only said that he worked in the Kingdom, but the nature of his work was confidential, so he couldn't say anything. She didn't expect him to know about this detail.
"Although under normal circumstances, the preparation for any large ceremony would only end a day before the ceremony, but there must be some changes. The First Concubine is busy every day, so there are many things that she needs to deal with." Nini said casually. "If I didn't notice the First Concubine's guards' movements, I wouldn't have noticed this abnormality."
"Speaking of which, I also heard that the First Concubine did leave the main palace early." The other person, Dylan, added.
Garon didn't think much about it at first, but when he heard Dylan mention the word early, he suddenly had a guess.
The Trust Ceremony was so important, could it be that Avic carried it out early privately? To avoid being disturbed by outsiders?
This way, it would be enough as long as they put on a show during the official ceremony. The ceremony would be completed early, so they wouldn't have to worry about it being disrupted.
The more Garon thought about it, the more he felt that the possibility was high.
If this possibility really existed, then … Obscuro's assassination would probably be brought forward as well!
He was slightly shocked. Although he didn't like Avic, he didn't hate him either. The main thing was that if the ceremony was completed early, or even the assassination, it would be very disadvantageous to the situation. Obscuro would be one step ahead, one step ahead.
When he thought of this, he couldn't sit still anymore.
He glanced at Dani and the others in the distance, and slowly stood up.
"I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered something urgent."
"It's okay, go ahead." The two of them were stunned for a moment, but they did not mind. They politely said that they would take good care of Dani and the others.
After paying the bill for Dani and the others, Garon walked out of the bar and looked back at the name: Dew Bar.
He hailed a carriage and quickly rushed to the War Guild. The matter of disciplining Dani would take a day or two, but it could not be delayed.
He had to get ready as soon as possible.
*****
War Guild
It was still the same Kite Tide Bar.
As soon as Garon entered the door, an attendant in black took the initiative to lead the way.
The two of them passed through the aisle and many sofa cubicles, and walked into a small passage inside. There were rows of private rooms in the passageway.
After knocking on the door of the private room in the middle, a child dressed in black was sitting inside, along with two other people.
One of them was a beautiful woman with short blonde hair. She was dressed very provocatively, and her short white skirt almost reached her thighs. However, at this moment, she was directly ignored by the child, and her expression was extremely awkward.
The other person was the old forger from before. He was holding a black box with his brows tightly furrowed. No one knew what he was thinking.
"You're here." The child saw Garon enter the room, and instantly revealed a smile.
"Hmm, is everything done?" Garon looked at the black box in the old man's hand.
"Of course, with two masters doing it personally, there won't be any problems!" The old man stroked his beard and smiled. He stood up and passed the black box to Garon. "Just press it directly on the Shackle Mark from before."
Garon nodded and opened the box. Inside was a diamond-shaped silver-white metal ornament.
Faintly, he could hear the sound of footsteps coming from outside the room. Obviously, they were the people sent to protect this transaction. Such a top-notch item that was worth tens of millions, even the War Guild had to pay attention to it. This place was not lacking in manpower like Iron Tank City.
He picked up the ornament, gently rolled up his sleeve, and decisively pressed it on the Shackle Mark from before.
Something strange happened.
The ornament actually quickly turned into a liquid, and slowly melted into Garon's skin, and merged with the Shackle Mark from before on his arm.
Garon glanced at his Attribute Pane, and indeed saw a slight change.
'Shackle Mark:
Effect 1 - Eye of Isaiah. Effect 2 - None. Effect 3 - None. Effect 4 - None. Effect 5 - None. Effect 6 - None. Effect 7 - None. Effect 8 - None.
Sharer - Angel. '
"A total of eight tactic slots, are you satisfied?" The old man asked with a smile.
"Satisfied, very satisfied!" Garon nodded. "There should be a fixed tactic for sale here, right? Can I choose one? "
"Of course, please follow me." The old man nodded. Looking at his expression, one could tell that he was in a good mood. It was rare for someone to upgrade so many Shackles of War in one go, and to buy a fixed tactic, this would give him a huge commission.
Garon and Kid followed the old man out of the room, and continued to walk deeper into the tunnel. Under the protection of a group of black-clothed totem users, they reached the wall at the end of the tunnel.
The old man reached out and slapped the wall, and a white light flashed in his palm.
The wall suddenly rippled, and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Garon didn't say anything, and followed the old man into the hall behind the wall with Kid.
This dark brown hall was circular, and there was a circle of circular glass display cabinets on the wall, and a cylindrical glass display stand in the middle.
In these glass display cabinets, there were strange objects of all shapes and sizes, and these objects weren't very big. There were things that looked like small boxes, living organisms, and even normal objects that looked like ores.
There were also three groups of people standing in the hall, and they looked like they were customers of the guild who were brought in by the members of the guild to choose fixed tactics.
"This is the display hall for fixed tactics, you two can point out anything you like to me." The old man explained with a smile, "I can give you two a discount of up to 20%."
"Thank you very much." Garen smiled slightly. "Kid, do you have enough money?"
"No problem." Kid didn't care at all.
"Just take it that I'm borrowing it from you, and I'll return it to you after a while." It was all thanks to Kid this time, or else the War Chain's upgrade would be troublesome.
"It's nothing, I don't know how to use this money anyway." Kid obviously didn't care.
Garon nodded, and didn't argue anymore.
He walked to the counter, and began to look carefully one by one.
This was indeed the guild of a large country, unlike Iron Tank City, where there were only a few choices for fixed tactics, but here they were openly displayed for everyone to choose from. With a glance, there were no less than thirty items.
Garon followed the counter and looked at them one by one.
The fixed tactics here were divided into three categories.
Body strengthening type, totem strengthening type, and special type.
Body strengthening was to strengthen the totem user, and this kind of strengthening could affect the totem user's casting speed, power, or flexibility when controlling totems in battle, and so on.
Totem strengthening, on the other hand, was to directly strengthen a single totem temporarily.
The last special type had the most, and included healing, scouting, night vision, underwater breathing, levitation, camouflage, freezing, and so on. These were all equivalent to giving the totem an additional ability.
Garon looked around, but couldn't find the tactic he wanted. Although he knew that the Eye of Esaik he found wasn't a normal tactic, but there were so many fixed tactics here that he couldn't find a single one. Garon was still a little disappointed.
Looking at the price tag, each of these fixed tactics was worth tens of thousands of gold rumbs, which was at least tens of millions of copper rumbs. Two or three sets were equivalent to the price of a basic level one war chain.
As if he saw Garon's disappointed expression, the old man muttered to himself.
"How about this, other than our guild's own fixed tactics, there are some fixed tactics that we plan to auction off, you can take a look first. See if there's anything you want. "
"That's fine." Garon nodded.
Kid simply told him all his savings through the black box on his collar, which was about twenty thousand gold rumbs. This money plus the eighty thousand gold rumbs he spent on leveling up to level four was a total of a hundred thousand gold rumbs. This was a huge sum of money, even if the entire Trejons family sold off all their assets, they would at most get forty to fifty thousand gold rumbs. This included all the fixed assets and the land granted by His Majesty the Emperor, everything added up.
Garon felt a little bad for using so much of Kid's money this time, but thinking that it was a crucial time now, he couldn't care less. There would be plenty of opportunities to return the favor in the future.
After waiting in the hall for a while, the old man got someone to bring a list and handed it to Garon.
The list recorded the details of five fixed tactics, which was obviously the auction information.
Out of the five fixed tactics, the first one was Hand of Modala.
It was shaped like a necklace pendant in the shape of a golden palm. There weren't any special patterns on it.
The effect was simple. Gold Transformation, by spending a certain amount of Totem Light or Totem Power, it could turn a certain amount of matter into gold.
Although gold wasn't as valuable as silver in this world, it was still a precious metal second only to silver.
Many totem users would like this thing, but Garon definitely wasn't one of them.
The second one was called Deep Blue Chain.
It was the same necklace style, completely dark blue, with an irregular white stone hanging in the middle.
The effect of the Deep Blue Necklace was a water mist domain, which could form a mist area with a radius of twelve meters after release, blocking the enemy's line of sight. The density of the mist increased and decreased with the strength of the totem user.
The third one was called Vanishing Medal.
Seeing this, Garen's interest was piqued.
This was just a picture of a black flame-like ball.
The effect belonged to the strengthening category: After activation, part of the totem user's body could be elementalized. If the totem user's level was high enough, it could be used to avoid fatal attacks, and could also be used for long-distance teleportation. Of course, if it was just a low-level totem user, elementalizing a fingernail would be considered pretty good.
The fourth and fifth were all strengthening tactics for totems. Garon glanced at them, one was something with a strong healing effect, the other was to add a type of ice attribute to the totem, which could cause ice damage to the enemy's totem. It was just that compared to normal strengthening tactics, its power was much greater.
"How much is this Vanishing Medal?" Garon pointed at the third fixed tactic and asked.
"You really have sharp eyes!" The old man gave a thumbs up. "This Vanishing Medal was snatched from the Obscuro Society by the elites of our guild in a monster's nest. For this medal, two form two elite totem users were seriously injured. Although elementalization is a necessary path for high-level totem users, if you can use a fixed tactic to master this method beforehand, wouldn't it be an extra layer of protection for your own safety? "
"Cut the crap, just tell me how much you want?" Garon was too lazy to listen to his nonsense.
"This much." The old man held out four fingers. "And this is the 20% discount I've given you."
"Forty thousand golden rumbs?!" Garon raised his eyebrows. He bought this mainly because of the elementalization. Elementalization was a temporary ability that orthodox totem users could achieve when they spiritualized. But Garon's path did not even touch the edge of elementalization.
Although the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon was strong, but in terms of elementalization, especially the elementalization of its own body, it was completely clueless. Maybe through this thing, he could peek at the secrets of high-level totem users' elementalization.
