Chapter 21: 21
After a brief introduction by the Fool, Audrey, the Justice, greeted him first: "Hello, Mr. Hermit."
Then, she continued to greet other members as usual, and at the same time, she introduced the original members and their code names to the new members. While
greeting other members, as a "mind reader" in the form of "audience", she was also carefully observing the new members covered by the gray fog: The Hermit looked to be in his twenties, with casual and neat clothes and hairstyle. He should be a self-disciplined gentleman who doesn't like to follow the rules.
He was a little curious, but not nervous, and became cautious after being curious. He had a good psychological quality and his personality should be rational and calm.
After a simple observation, Audrey had already outlined the general "psychological image" of the Hermit in her heart.
At the same time, Odysseus was also observing other members. Under the influence of the gray fog, the Fool looked mysterious and powerful. In order to avoid being "killed as a warning to others", Odysseus did not observe too much.
Opposite him was a girl with golden hair and aristocratic clothes. Although her appearance could not be seen clearly, she could be felt spiritually that she was a very beautiful girl.
Below Audrey was Fors Wall, who had brown curly hair and wore a beige dress. He was not arrogant.
At the top of Odysse's row was Alger Wilson, who had blue hair and looked very rough and wore Rorsted Islands clothes
. Next to him was a boy who was a head taller than Odysse and wore classic leather clothes. This was "Little Sun" Derrick Berg.
At the bottom was "The Fool Trumpet", who looked very gloomy and had no living breath.
Everyone was also observing this new member. Fors, the "Magician", guessed whether the new member was a Beyonder. Alger, the "Hanged Man", guessed the origin of the new member, while Derrick, the "Sun", was just happy that the Tarot Club was growing stronger.
As for "The World", it was still just a dummy and had no ideas of its own.
After the greetings and a certain amount of mutual observation, Audrey spoke first: "Dear Mr. Fool, I have something to report to you alone."
Alger withdrew his attention from the "Hermit": Report alone?
Then, he subconsciously guessed the content of the report.
Klein nodded slightly behind the gray fog: "Okay."
After that, he blocked the senses of other members and began to communicate alone.
Audrey reported her contact with the Psychological Alchemy Society and submitted two pages of diary that she saw at the Roselle Memorial Exhibition.
In Odysse's impression, the Tarot Club was held too many times, and he had no memory of the content of Audrey's individual report this time, so he waited quietly like the other members.
About four or five minutes later, the "individual report" process ended, and Fors couldn't wait to look at the "world" at the bottom: "Mr. World, I will collect magical items or powerful extraordinary weapons in the solar field for you as soon as possible."
Odysse was slightly stunned and recalled: Klein was going to fight with the "indulgent faction" members of the "Rose School".
He leaned forward slightly and was about to speak, but then he thought that this was his first time to participate in the Tarot Club, so he should focus on observation, which was in line with the thinking of normal people.
Audrey asked, "What deal did you guys make in private?"
Fors did not hide it: "Mr. World helped me find the potion formula of the 'Master of Magic'."
She is still an "apprentice" at present. She has been looking for the formula of Sequence 8 for several years. Unexpectedly, she got the coveted formula not long after joining the Tarot Club. The domain name of this website has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.
Audrey sighed in her heart: Mr. World is very good at finding formulas!
Then she asked enthusiastically: "Mr. Hermit, do you have any questions about 'magical items' or 'extraordinary weapons' just now?"
Odysseus's little action just now, of course, could not escape the eyes of a "mind reader", but she misunderstood what Odysseus meant, and thought he had questions about the concept of magical items or extraordinary weapons.
For most extraordinary people, the concepts of these two things are indeed easy to confuse.
"First of all, thank you for your concern." Odysseus said politely. At this point, he had to say what he was about to say, otherwise he would probably be labeled "dishonest" for his first meeting:
"I happen to have an extraordinary weapon from the 'Sun' field. Well, to be precise, it can no longer be classified as an extraordinary weapon because I used extraordinary materials of Sequence 7 in it. "I
don't know if it meets the requirements of the 'World'? But thinking that this is a deal between Mr. World and Miss Magician, it would be inappropriate to speak rashly. "
Odysseus was not worried that the weapons he made with the magic circle would expose his research results. It would be difficult for Extraordinary people other than "Secret Peepers", "Readers", and "Generalists" to discover the uniqueness of his weapons.
Klein, who was behind the gray fog, raised his lips slightly. He used the image of "the world" to hint that the "magician" discussed the purchase of magical items in the Tarot Club in order to attract the attention of the "hermit".
After all, the Tarot Club now has such a channel, so it would be a waste not to use it.
Audrey was slightly stunned. She first did not expect that she would make a mistake in "reading minds" this time. Then she was a little surprised that the new member could provide Extraordinary weapons.
Alger guessed: Is the new member a craftsman?
"Little Sun" Derrick: Every member of the Tarot Club seems so powerful!
Fors was also stunned. Thinking of the fact that it was rare to encounter transactions of Extraordinary weapons in Extraordinary gatherings: Mr. Fool must have considered carefully when choosing new members.But then she thought again: Miss Justice is a noble, Mr. Hanged Man has channels on the sea, "Sun" comes from "God's Forsaken Land", "World" has a variety of rich channels, and the new members seem to have channels for extraordinary weapons... Uh, what role do I play?
When the "Magician" fell into self-doubt, Klein manipulated the "World" and said in a low voice: "You can talk about the extraordinary weapons you have. If it's suitable, I can also buy it directly from you."
Odysseus introduced: "When this weapon is not in use, it is only the length of an adult's palm and has a cylindrical shape. It can be held in one hand.
"After injecting spirituality, the upper and lower ends will extend to form an illusory, pure white staff the length of a forearm.
"As long as spirituality is injected, the area within five meters will be filled with warm and pure power. Fallen, evil, and undead monsters will continue to be harmed, and your teammates will continue to be encouraged;
"You can cast the 'Purification Slash' on the target, and the attack distance is about 15 meters; you can also create 'Holy Water'. "
This is a relatively powerful weapon among Odysseus's experiments. A part of the "Red Crown of the Dawn Rooster" was used in its production. It is one of the main materials for promotion to the "Sun" Path Sequence 7 "Sun Priest".
Klein frowned slightly. This sounded a little different from a normal extraordinary weapon. He manipulated the "World" to ask: "How much do you plan to sell it for? How long can it be used?"
Extraordinary weapons generally have the problem of "use period".
"1,200 pounds!" Odysseus quoted: "Maintain once a year, it can be used for at least five or six years, or even longer. Each maintenance costs 150 pounds!"
Klein sat up straight in the gray fog: This is definitely not a serious extraordinary weapon! The domain name of this site has been changed toIn addition to Klein the Fool, Alger the Hanged Man was also surprised by the "maintenance" part mentioned by the Hermit.
Generally speaking, extraordinary weapons are weapons made by craftsmen using spiritual materials, and their characteristics are that they have certain levels of extraordinary abilities that are not very high. Just like the "Flame Arrow", the bullet fired is not even a fireball, but only a ball of fire.
Because spiritual materials are used, it involves the problem of spiritual loss, so it can generally only be used for one and a half years, or even shorter.
The last feature is that there are basically no negative effects. This is because extraordinary properties are not used, and spiritual materials will not produce negative effects, so ordinary people can also use it.
Sealed objects basically have extraordinary properties, and there are negative effects under the distortion of extraordinary properties. The only difference is the degree of danger of the negative effects.
The concepts of sealed objects and magical items are similar, except that most sealed objects are items formed after the death of extraordinary people or extraordinary creatures, or items formed under specific circumstances.
There are two concepts of magical items. One is the name of sealed objects by wild extraordinary people, and the other is extraordinary items made by "craftsmen" using extraordinary properties.
Whether it was a sealed object, a magical item, or an extraordinary weapon, there was no concept of "maintenance". The description of the "Hermit" surprised and puzzled Klein and Alger, and the usable time seemed a little too long.
Alger couldn't help but ask, "Can extraordinary weapons be maintained?"
"Justice" Audrey and "Magician" Fors only knew the relevant concepts, but had not been exposed to extraordinary weapons, so they didn't know what was surprising about it. "
Sun" Derrick did have the corresponding knowledge, but he didn't like to refute, so he just planned to listen quietly without asking questions.
"Hermit" Odysseus smiled and said, "This is a commercial secret, no comment."
He paused and said, "The service life I mentioned is a very cautious estimate. It should be able to be used for a longer time, and even if it is damaged, it can be overhauled.
"The premise is that overhaul requires a certain amount of money, and it needs to be maintained on time. "
Alger frowned, but did not continue to ask. He thought: The new member is not simple!
Klein recalled what the Hermit said before, that his research on extraordinary weapons attracted the attention of the powerful and mysterious lady.
Now he realized that it was definitely a breakthrough in the field of mysticism.
Then he began to consider whether to buy this extraordinary weapon. Theoretically, the price offered by the Hermit was very fair.
Generally speaking, if a weapon has a Sequence 7 extraordinary ability, it is worth at least 600 to 800 pounds.
It can also produce "holy water" and has a A passive skill, 1200 pounds is not expensive, or there is almost no premium.
However, the subsequent maintenance costs 150 pounds a year! Five years is 750 pounds. In this case, it is better to buy a magical item. Although it is definitely more expensive, there is no need for subsequent expenses.
But then again, this extraordinary weapon has exceeded the normal extraordinary weapon standards. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a magical item, and there are no negative effects.
The key is that at this price, Klein can afford it now.
After a little hesitation, Klein manipulated the "world" and said: "I'll think about it."
Odysseus said "hmm".
Alger smiled and tried: "Mr. Hermit, if I need extraordinary weapons or magical items, can I initiate a transaction with you directly?"
Odysseus also showed a similar expression to Alger, and smiled politely: "It depends on what I have. "
He knew very well that the Hanged Man was testing him with extraordinary weapons and magical items. As long as he could make these two things, he must be a craftsman, so Odysseus gave a confusing answer. The domain name of this site has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please keep it in mind.
Alger frowned slightly. The answer of the Hermit did not help him make any further judgments.
Klein behind the gray fog thought to himself: Another "old hand" has joined the group.
Ahem~
Alger cleared his throat and started a new topic: "I recently took on an investigation mission. I wonder if you have any corresponding clues.
"In the past two or three years, in the southern continent, many indigenous tribes have been looted and all the people have been kidnapped. In various plantations and islands on the sea, some slaves have also strangely escaped.
"After the northern continent countries abolished the slave trade, such things have not happened for a long time. Have you heard any corresponding rumors? "
Audrey, Fors, and the "World" successively said that they had not heard of similar things.
Derrick was trapped in the "Forsaken Land of God" and could not know what was happening in the outside world.
Odysseus recalled the speech of the participant "Lion" at the Mysticism Research Conference two days ago.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt that this was information that could be traded. After all, "The Hanged Man" was a task received from the church.
The commissions received by "Lion" and others were likely issued by other major countries using the forces secretly supported in Backlund. The two were not in conflict.
So Odysseus said, "I may have the information you need."
The other members were slightly stunned. Klein thought, "Does the "Hermit" have a wide range of channels?
Alger saw that the "Hermit" did not continue to speak, and immediately understood: "If it is the information I need, the value is between 30 pounds and 60 pounds."
Odysseus said, "50 pounds!"
If it is not agreed in advance, it must be only 30 pounds, not 60 pounds.
Yes, but it may take until next week to get it."
He would withdraw the money from the church, so he did not bargain.
Then he said, "With Mr. Fool's testimony, I will not default on the debt."
Odysseus said, "Hmm," "I believe Mr. Fool."
He paused and said, "I just got the news two days ago. In the east district of Backlund, many homeless people disappeared inexplicably."
Odysseus did not give others a chance to ask questions, and then said, "It is certain that the homeless people did not disappear normally.
"Because someone issued a task to find the traces of those homeless people, four people I know received such a task."
Finally, he said seriously, "Their professions are very different."
Some are private detectives, some are wild Beyonders who make a living with Beyonder powers, and some are cultists.
Alger understood what the "Hermit" meant. Backlund's search mission was very unusual. Then he thought: Why did I just receive such a task at this time? What is the connection between my task and the disappearance of people in Backlund?
Thinking of this, he said to the "Hermit", "This news is worth 50 pounds! "
Fors listened to the discussion between the two and understood: "Someone is committing a large-scale kidnapping crime? What do they want those natives, homeless people and slaves for?" The domain name of this website has been changed toKlein the Fool was also very confused: What kind of place needs a large population? And it needs a large population in secret? Is this the action of a secret organization, or are the cultists planning something?
But no one could answer Klein's inner doubts, and no one could answer the question raised by Fors the Magician before.
Or it could be said that Odysseus, the only one who could answer this question, did not intend to announce the answer now.
Audrey the Justice frowned and said, "Didn't the police notice the missing homeless people?"
Odysseus the Hermit smiled and said, "As long as the homeless people don't commit crimes and don't sleep in the park, they are not under the jurisdiction of the police."
Audrey was slightly stunned: "Then who is responsible for it?"
Odysseus looked at the noble lady: "Death."
Audrey was stunned again, but soon understood what Odysseus meant: "They...they, I mean, after all, it is..."
She suddenly felt a little speechless.
Fors the Magician at the side helped to describe it: "After all, it is a human life."
Odysseus did not continue to discuss this issue.
The "world" at the bottom of the bronze table suddenly said in a gloomy voice: "Many gentlemen in Backlund don't think so."
Audrey was very surprised, but because she didn't understand the situation, she couldn't refute it for a while.
At this time, the "Hanged Man" Alger asked the "Hermit": "Do you know who is issuing the task of finding the homeless man?"
"I don't know." Odysseus planned to stop at this point and not get involved too much for the time being.
Alger said again: "If there is any new news, please notify me in time, and I will pay you another intelligence fee."
Odysseus nodded: "Okay."
After the intelligence transaction was completed, Alger said again: "You can try to collect the formula of the 'Wind Blessed One', and I will give you absolutely satisfactory rewards!"
Klein, who was at the top, quietly opened his spiritual vision and glanced at the "Hanged Man". Sure enough, he found that the color of the other party's astral body became more blue, which was a sign that the magic potion had been completely digested.
Audrey thought back: It's been so fast. Mr. Hanged Man and I have been in the Tarot Club for more than four months. At the first gathering, Mr. Fool announced the "Acting Method". Now the "Hanged Man" is already striving for Sequence 6.
Thinking of this, she glanced at the "Hermit": the new member did not show any surprise. He can often come into contact with Sequence 6? Or did he not know that the "Wind-loving One" was a Sequence 6?
The expression of "Magician" Fors was also somewhat solemn. As a wild Beyonder who had been hanging out in various Beyonder gatherings for a long time, she certainly knew that Sequence 6 was already the captain level in the church, and the captain of a big city, commanding two to four teams.
Not only in the Orthodox Church, but in any organization, it is already the backbone.
Then the other members said that they would help the "Hanged Man" keep an eye out.
After the Hanged Man had issued the task, Sun Derrick raised his hand and said, "I have been assigned a task. I will go to the half-ruined temple mentioned earlier to explore in the near future. Well, it is the one of the Fallen Creator."
Odysseus felt the gaze from Justice again. He sighed inwardly and had to show his interest.
Audrey was a little strange because the new member's body movements and the expression he showed seemed a little inconsistent. Wasn't he really curious?
Fortunately, Derrick continued to talk, and Audrey's attention shifted to the Little Sun.
Derrick said, "The leader in charge of this operation is Elder Lovia, the Shepherd. Do you have any suggestions?"
Klein answered in his heart immediately: My suggestion is to stay as far away as possible. The domain name of this website has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.
However, in order to maintain the image of the Fool, he remained silent.
Alger said without hesitation: "My advice is, don't go!"
"The Sun" was silent for a few seconds, and said with some embarrassment: "But, the mission must be accepted."
Because there were "audiences" present, Odysseus did not dare to show anything, but just smiled and looked at the "Hanged Man".
Alger laughed softly: "Nothing is necessary.
"Before the mission, you find an opportunity to deliberately let the monster hurt you. You can refer to the past cases of Silver City for the specific scale."
Audrey instantly read a message from the "Sun"'s actions: "Is this okay?"
After a brief surprise, Derrick said helplessly: "But, I haven't had any patrol missions recently."
Alger said "um": "Then you can create the illusion of being out of control by letting your own spiritual energy dry up.
"Here is a trick. As long as you continue to consume your spiritual energy at a high intensity for two consecutive days, you will show signs of being out of control.
"And if you don't continue to squeeze your spiritual energy, the situation will improve within a week. "
He smiled and said, "I think the leaders of Silver City will definitely not take a 'dangerous item' that could explode at any time to explore, right?"
Klein sighed in his heart: such an honest and sincere good child was poisoned by an old slicker.
Audrey was also stunned and felt that she had learned a good lesson again.
Derrick struggled in his heart, thinking that it was wrong to deceive the elders of Silver City, but he thought that if something unexpected happened to him, no one would remind the six-member council that there was something wrong with Elder Lovia.
After struggling for a few seconds, Derrick let out a sigh of helplessness and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hanged Man."
Let me ask you a question. Is the 'fallen creator' you just mentioned the real creator?"
This was a question that Odysseus asked because of the "audience" opposite him.
Otherwise, if he was not interested in the description of the "sun", Audrey would definitely suspect him, but if he directly asked Derrick questions like "where is the half-collapsed temple", he would be too curious.
So it would be most appropriate to just ask the "fallen creator".
Odysseus said helplessly in his heart: It's really troublesome to have "audiences" here, otherwise he wouldn't have to pretend like this. Fortunately,
there is gray fog, otherwise even if he tried his best to disguise himself, he would be easily seen through.
Derrick took a deep breath and answered: "Yes, Mr. Hermit.
"Well, you may be curious about the temple I mentioned. It is in an abandoned city. There are many incomplete murals in it, all of which depict the coming of the end of the world and the prophecy of the 'fallen creator' saving believers..." Hey,
hey, hey, I don't want to know this!
Odysseus twitched his mouth, but in order to make himself look "normal", he had to show a very surprised expression: "Abandoned city? The true creator saves the believers? "
The reaction of the new member made Klein smile: any new member would be shocked by the "God-forsaken Land" and realize the high-end of the Tarot Club.
Audrey seemed to have gained the joy of sharing the surprise of the new member: "The 'Sun' is not in the North Continent, nor in the South Continent, and certainly not in the sea."
Odysseus had no choice but to continue to show surprise, and his face almost stiffened: "Could it be, in the sky?" The domain name of this site has been changed toHearing the "guess" of "Hermit" Odysseus, "Fool" Klein almost laughed: "Isn't the Sun in the sky?"
"Justice" Audrey was a little amused: "Sorry, my description is not accurate enough."
"Sun" Derrick had no choice but to say: "Mr. Hermit, I am in the God-forsaken Land you mentioned!"
The previous communication made him feel that the new member was a very easy-going and kind person, so he told the other party his location without reservation.
And for him, this was not something that needed to be concealed in the Tarot Club.
Odysseus was so surprised that he almost stood up: "God-forsaken Land! The legendary God-forsaken Land!"
He felt that he was not here to attend the party, but purely to act.
After showing enough surprise, Odysseus continued: "I understand." Let's
end this topic quickly, my expression management is about to collapse.
After the new member made an expression of "I need to slow down", the topic really ended here.
Next, "World" communicated with Derrick alone again, and everyone began to communicate freely.
Audrey enthusiastically explained to the new members: "After the transaction, we usually share interesting things around us or rumors we have heard.
"Perhaps what you think is ordinary things may be very important news to others."
Odysseus nodded: "Thank you for your explanation."
Then everyone began to communicate freely. Alger, the "Hanged Man", talked about what he saw at sea, Audrey talked about the topic of nobles, and Derrick also shared some daily life in the City of Silver.
The "magician" Fors talked about some rumors he had heard about the extraordinary world of Backlund, and even the "world" talked about the topic of "serial murders".
There were new members joining this gathering, and it stands to reason that such topics that could expose their approximate locations should not be discussed at this Tarot meeting.
However, Odysseus's reaction at this gathering did not make everyone feel dangerous, so there was no thought of avoiding it and they continued to speak freely.
When it was Odysseus' turn, in order to show his willingness to integrate into this gathering, he also shared three ways to deal with daisies.
This is normal, and the mystical knowledge that tends to be herbalism can be heard at any mystical gathering.
However, Odysseus is experienced and good at expressing himself, and he made the processing process of a common herb very interesting.
Klein, who was behind the gray fog, sighed: It feels a bit like watching "A Bite of China".
Audrey, who was very curious, asked: "Mr. Hermit, do these common herbs also contain spirituality?"
"Of course." Odysseus replied: "In my opinion, everything has spirituality, it's just a matter of how much." "
Audrey nodded slowly. This was consistent with the mystical knowledge she had learned before. She asked again: "I heard that ordinary people also have spirituality?"
Odysseus said, "This is why many cultists sacrifice ordinary people when they can't find better sacrifices."
Fors suddenly thought of the task that "The Hanged Man" had received: "The missing people we talked about just now, could it be that some evil secret organization is making a large number of sacrifices?"
Odysseus shook his head slightly: "If it was done by cultists, the Church of God would definitely be aware of it."
Alger said: "This is also strange. So many people are missing, enough for those dangerous and crazy secret organizations to create many bloody large-scale sacrifices. The church cannot have failed to notice it."
"The World" also joined in on the topic: "It can only mean that those cases of missing people are not, or not all, caused by evil secret organizations." The domain name of this site has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.
Fors frowned: "Who could it be? Or what organization did all this? "
Her question received no answer. Fors considered whether to write about this incident in the novel, but then she thought that this might anger the mastermind behind the scenes, and then a mysterious person would come to her house in the middle of the night to collect the copper pennies in the gas meter, so she finally gave up the idea.
After a few more words, Klein announced that this Tarot Club was over.
...
Cherwood District, No. 15 Minsk Street.
Klein, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and raised his hand to gently rub his brows: If the Hermit had a magical item in his hand, I would buy it!
Unfortunately, it still needs maintenance...
Getting up from the bed, Klein sat on the edge of the bed and thought again: As the convener of the Tarot Club, I don't even know whether the Hermit is a Craftsman!
Regardless of whether the other party is a Craftsman, the Hermit seems to have made very advanced research results in mysticism!
No wonder he was targeted by some big figures in the Extraordinary World.
Klein saw the risks and the conveniences.
The risk is that a big tree attracts the wind. To help the Hermit solve the prying of those big figures, the Fool is only Sequence 7 at present, and I don't know if it will be very difficult. The convenience
is that the Tarot Club will have relevant channels for Extraordinary weapons in the future, and the new members seem to be well-informed.
Klein took a deep breath and began to think about why the space "above the gray fog" invited the Hermit?
...
In Queens, in Earl Hall's luxurious villa.
Audrey woke up from a bed with exquisite deep sleep flowers carved on it. A smile appeared on her lips: I didn't expect that there would be a new member joining today.
"You finally woke up."
This chapter is not yet finished, click the next page to continueSusie, with her shiny hair, walked over quickly: "Annie came once and saw you were taking a 'nap', so she didn't disturb you."
Anne was Audrey's personal maid.
"Thank you for your protection, Susie." Audrey smiled and said: "Reward you..."
As she was talking, she suddenly froze.
Susie asked: "What's wrong, Audrey? Are there no more biscuits to eat? I remember there are still two packs."
Usually at this time, Audrey would reward a pack of dog biscuits.
"No, I just suddenly remembered another thing." Audrey looked a little solemn.
She suddenly thought that the new member's actions were very unnatural, especially when talking about the little sun coming from the "God Forsaken Land". Although the "Hermit" showed surprise, his body movements were faster than the vaguely visible expression. Such a reaction was very abnormal.
Audrey didn't care too much at the time, but now that the party is over, she briefly reviewed it and found that the new member's actions were somewhat abnormal many times, which is enough to show that many of the new member's reactions are not his direct inner reactions.
But...
The more Audrey thought about it, the more surprised she was: That was the "God Forsaken Land"! Every extraordinary person with some knowledge of mysticism would be surprised from the bottom of their hearts when they heard about "God's Forsaken Land", and would sigh at the high level of the Tarot Club and praise Mr. Fool's strength!
The new member was not as surprised as he looked. Could it be that he had been exposed to "God's Forsaken Land" before joining the Tarot Club? The more
Audrey thought about it, the more mysterious she felt about the new member. The domain name of this website has been changed toKlein had heard of Mr. Gal when he was investigating the "serial murder case".
Because the victims of the serial murder case were all, or had been, streetwalkers, Klein also had some understanding of the streetwalker industry in Backlund while investigating.
Almost all dance halls treat streetwalkers as money-making machines, and don't care about their lives at all.
These streetwalkers are bought, kidnapped, from Loen and other countries in the northern continent, from the Rorsted Islands, and even from the southern continent.
The dance halls are full of gang members to prevent these "properties" from escaping.
No one dares to check these dance halls, because if they do, they will always involve some big shots, and in the end, nothing will be done.
Mr. Gal is the behind-the-scenes boss of the "Nanmu Dance Hall", and the "Nanmu Dance Hall" is somewhat "unique" in the streetwalker industry. There is no one to watch over the streetwalkers except the thugs who maintain order.
Because the streetwalkers who came there were forced to work in this industry voluntarily, the "Nanmu Dance Hall" provided them with rooms to receive customers, to ensure that they would not be blackmailed by gangs or the police, and to find doctors for them if they were sick.
Streetwalkers had to hand over one-fifth of their income to maintain the operation of the dance hall.
At that time, Klein was deeply impressed by Mr. Gall. He felt that although this gentleman was running a gray industry, he still had the most basic conscience.
But when he saw Ms. Mandy, a subordinate of Gall, coming to the East District to "recruit people", he doubted whether this gentleman was as friendly as the legend said? Are those streetwalkers really voluntary?
So Klein asked Old Kohler: "Have the girls who left with Ms. Mandy ever come back?"
Old Kohler was slightly stunned: "I haven't heard of them coming back."
Klein frowned.
Old Kohler continued, "I heard that as long as a streetwalker is favored by a big shot, her family will move out of the East District and live a respectable life. I haven't heard of anyone coming back."
This was somewhat beyond Klein's expectations. He didn't quite understand what kind of "business" the "Nanmu Ballroom" was doing?
"I heard from my friends about this Mr. Gal." Mike said at this time: "This Mr. Gal is a man with a lot of stories. It is said that he always wears a silver mask, and no one has ever seen his true face.
"I also heard that after Ms. Mandy found a few streetwalkers from the East District, she would spend several months or even half a year to teach them dancing, painting, music, etiquette, grammar, etc. "
Under the influence of culture and art, these streetwalkers will become very elegant and have a lot of temperament. They usually entertain some big shots who spend a lot of money.
"After some streetwalkers have a few regular big customers, Mr. Gal will rent a luxurious villa for them, hire a butler and servants, and participate in various high-end dances and social occasions, and they will look like women in the upper class.
"It is said that such streetwalkers... No, they can't be called streetwalkers. It is said that such 'professional women' will save enough money in one or two years at most. Some of them will go to other cities to live, or be willing to be the lovers of some big shots."
Klein glanced at Ms. Mandy over there again: This operation sounds very familiar!
His inner values made him very disgusted with such "business", but facing the situation in the East District, he couldn't say anything.
Old Kohler adjusted his hat: "Look, that girl has seen hope again."
Klein really saw that the nervousness and uneasiness of the sixteen or seventeen-year-old streetwalker disappeared, and joy appeared in her eyes.
He sadly realized: In this world where class is seriously solidified, this seems to be the only way for women in the East District to live a decent life.
...
West District, 51 Henry Street. The domain name of this website has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.
Odysseus politely sent Alia, who had finished studying today, out the door, which made the lady very flattered.
Today we will learn how to disassemble and install the "Flame Arrow", and tomorrow we will learn how to make the corresponding extraordinary bullets, and the whole learning process will be over.
Odysseus has been watching Alia's carriage leave. The reason why he wants to see her off today is to observe the mysterious gaze that is staring at the herbalist shop.
As he expected, the gaze that had been staring at the shop followed the carriage away.
Odysseus pursed his lips, and he knew that the gaze must have been attracted by Alia.
I believe Alia must have noticed that this gaze is almost looking at this side openly, but Alia has been silent. It is estimated that both of them have some plans.
Odysseus knows that he is a marginal figure. If those who covet his research are killed by Bernadette, the other party will at most send someone to stare at him, and he still doesn't need to worry about this gaze.
...
Late at night, lush flowers suddenly grew outside a large warehouse in the bridge area.
These flowers grew rapidly and soon covered the entire warehouse.
The people inside realized something was wrong, but it was too late. The warehouse became somewhat unreal, as if it did not belong to the real world.
These flowers blossomed into beautiful flowers, and some even bore fruit. Flowers were the sweetest desserts in the world, and purple fruits contained the best wine in the world.
Just eating a flower was equivalent to learning the knowledge of a book, and just eating a fruit and drinking up the wine inside was equivalent to obtaining a secret or long-lost mystical knowledge.
The several members of the "Moss Ascetic Order" who were hiding here and were in charge of Backlund's affairs were all fanatical about this and rushed forward to devour the flowers and fruits.>But as soon as they touched the vegetation, they seemed to fall into an illusion, as if they were in the clouds, surrounded by strange flowers, plants and animals, as if they were in heaven.
All of this made them stand there for a short time, revealing a sweet smile.
In the real world, the flowers around the warehouse suddenly grew many thorns, which became larger and thicker, and finally pierced into the bodies of the extraordinary people from all directions like iron swords.
They fell to the ground one by one, still with sweet smiles on their faces.
The flowers gradually withered, and the warehouse gradually returned to the real world.
The next second, Alia walked out of the illusion, and after confirming that the people here were dead, she calmly harvested their extraordinary characteristics.
After finishing all this, Alia held the characteristics in both hands, bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty."
The characteristics suddenly emitted a dazzling brilliance and suddenly disappeared from her palms.
The voice of the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette came from midair: "It's a pity that the demigod got away."
I thought there would be a fierce battle, but it ended easily.
Then, Bernadette said in a vague voice: "There are still two chess pieces that can be used. Go to Gal's Herb Shop and save Odysseus."
At the end of her words, Bernadette's voice was already very ethereal and finally disappeared.
Alia was slightly stunned: Save Odysseus? The domain name of this site has been changed toIn a basement on Cartel Street in the West District.
Two men were sleeping here. They were neatly dressed in black clothes and had a pair of red dancing shoes on their feet.
Suddenly, they stood up suddenly, as if they had received some instructions, and ran out with a jump. It was not until they ran to the street that they seemed to wake up completely from their sleep and ran forward like normal people.
The red dancing shoes on their feet gradually disappeared.
...
Alia used the seal to quickly rush to Henry Street, and hid her spirituality and breath. She found a dark corner to hide and quietly watched the Gar Herbal Medicine Store, which was still lit.
At this time, two people in black rushed to the herbal medicine store. Alia immediately felt that the breath of these two people was different from that of ordinary people.
Odysseus in the herbal medicine store, as usual, sent away the clerk Kena and was sitting alone in an armchair to rest.
Suddenly, his spirituality was alerted.
So he stood up suddenly, pulled out a pistol from his gun bag, and just as he opened the safety, the door of the store was kicked open.
Without further ado, Odysseus immediately pulled the trigger.
Arya, who was outside, was about to step forward to rescue him when she saw six fireballs slightly larger than an adult's fist shot out of Odysseus' revolver! She also heard six consecutive gunshots.
The Sequence 9 "Secret Peeper" among the two men in black was shot twice, and his chest was immediately covered with flames. He waved his arms and beat the flames off his body while running around, screaming miserably.
He fell to the ground after running a few steps.
Arya was slightly stunned. This was the first time she saw the power of the "Flame Arrow". She finally understood why the queen was so concerned about this weapon!
With this weapon, the weaker Sequence 9s in "Elemental Dawn" dared to fight those Sequence 9s who were good at fighting head-on!
But Odysseus's other four bullets did not hit the other man in black, because that was a Sequence 8 "Combat Scholar" who swiftly dodged Odysseus's shooting and quickly rushed towards the herbalist whose gun was out of bullets.
Odysseus was about to go to the counter to activate the corresponding magic circle in the herbal medicine shop. The layout of the herbal medicine shop was enough for him to kill a Sequence 8 relatively easily.
But out of the corner of his eye, Odysseus saw Alia running towards him. He immediately thought that this was a good opportunity to deter the "Mysterious Queen".
So Odysseus turned around and ran. Just as Alia was about to rush in to rescue him, her steps stopped again. She heard the herbal medicine shop owner seemed to be running while muttering something like "the one who controls good luck..."
Because they were too far away, she couldn't hear it clearly, but it seemed to be a noble name!
Just when Alia was stunned, the "Fighting Scholar" kicked Odysseus away.
If it weren't for the corresponding defensive magic circle painted on Odysseus's clothes, this kick would probably break his waist.
After falling to the ground, Odysseus endured the pain in his back, rolled over, and got up while rolling and crawling, and continued to escape around the tall herbs in the yard.
At this moment, he prayed in his heart, hoping that the "Fool" would "go online" as soon as possible. The "Secret Peer" could hide in the dark and shoot arrows, but it was too weak to fight head-on.
Just as the "Fighting Scholar" approached Odysseus again, a surge of power suddenly appeared in the air.
A huge black figure appeared in front of the "Fighting Scholar". This figure had twelve pairs of huge wings, and the feathers of each pair of wings were engraved with occult symbols.
It was an angel, a holy angel.
It was the "new ability" that Klein had after obtaining the "Black Emperor" card.
When the "Fighting Scholar" saw the holy angel, it was like seeing a king, seeing an admirable emperor. The domain name of this website has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.
He knelt down on the ground with a "thump", and no longer had any thoughts of resistance.
"Thump", Alia, who had just entered the door outside, also knelt down on the ground. She trembled all over, feeling that she surrendered and pledged allegiance to the holy angel from the bottom of her heart and soul.
This angel was fleeting, but His influence would last for a few seconds.
The only one who was not affected too much was Odysseus, who was praying to the "Fool". He also felt the huge pressure of the twelve pairs of wings.
However, Odysseus was still able to react normally. He took out a palm-sized wooden cylinder from his pocket. At the moment of injecting spirituality, the wooden cylinder turned into a pure white scepter.
Odysseus stretched out his hand and first gave the "Fighting Scholar" a "Purification Slash". The chest of the "Fighting Scholar" kneeling on the ground seemed to be slashed by a knife, and a golden wound appeared deep enough to see the bone.
The golden color then dimmed, and the wound was burned to a charred black.
Taking this opportunity, Odysseus loaded another bullet into the revolver and fired immediately.
Bang~
This time he hit the target, and the chest of the "Fighting Scholar" was covered with flames, but he was still under the influence of the angel and did not even dare to struggle.
Odysseus put away the scepter, stared at the "lit" "Fighting Scholar", and loaded bullets into the gun chamber one by one. After filling it, he reset the cylinder.
The "combat scholar" was also burned to death at this time.
...
Klein, the "Fool" in "Above the Gray Mist", has been observing the battle process of the "Hermit". He is now sure that this new member is "very good".
The scepter should be the extraordinary weapon mentioned in the previous Tarot meeting. It is not as small as when it is activated, and is very suitable for sneak attacks.
But if it is a battle, the revolver is still more useful, but the power is a little less.
The only advantage is that it can fire fireballs larger than a fist, and as long as it hits the target, it can set the opponent's body on fire.
This ability is very suitable for dealing with "werewolf" and "zombies". Ignite the opponent's skin and clothes, not only causing certain damage, but also interfering with the opponent.
This weapon can be considered for purchase to deal with opponents such as "bodyguard lady" Sharon.
Thinking of this, Klein glanced at the street outside.
Under the gaze of "real vision", he saw that the surroundings were covered by a mysterious force. That should be the power of the mysterious and powerful lady.
But the other party was under pressure from the "fool" and did not dare to show up yet.
Thinking of this, Klein pursed his lips and smiled: the powerful lady might not dream that the seemingly powerful "fool" could only use this trick. Klein
glanced at Odysseus again. He believed that his "power" just now would make the mysterious lady fearful enough, and Odysseus would no longer be in danger.
So he retracted his gaze and returned to "above the gray fog".
Because if a great existence continues to stare at a "low-sequence" "favored", it would be a very strange thing, and it would be suspected instead.
...
Alia took a deep breath and finally got up. Looking at Odysseus, who was holding a pistol and carefully checking whether the "combat scholar" was dead, her eyes suddenly became complicated!
This herbal shop owner was actually connected to a mysterious and powerful being!
How many secrets does he have? The domain name of this website has been changed to
