Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 248 The party starts again

On Saturday night, Angel knocked on the side door of the house where the "Eye of Wisdom" was based on the specific frequency he saw in the newspaper advertisement, then put on an iron mask and a hooded robe and entered the dim living room.

Under the flickering candlelight, a dozen people in the same dress were sitting casually. Some familiar people had begun to whisper to each other. They had not attended the party for too long and did not even dare to go out. At this time, they met other extraordinary people in the same situation again. All a little excited.

The old gentleman with the "Eye of Wisdom" was still sitting on the single sofa next to the coffee table, putting his hands in his robe and watching the guests entering the living room one by one.

Angel found a corner and sat down, looking at the members attending the party. He found the fat pharmacist, the lady who seemed to often sell weapons, and Detective Sherlock Moriarty.

"It's about time. It seems that these are the ones here today. We don't need to wait for the latecomers." Eye of Wisdom whispered, "To be honest, I was surprised that so many people came."

"let us start."

As if they had been suppressed for a long time, the people attending the party began to rush to sell items and announce their needs.

The fat pharmacist first sold some healing potions and potions that enhanced certain abilities, then coughed lightly and said:

"I need an extraordinary creature for experimentation, one that is not too threatening."

"Extraordinary creatures? You should catch them yourself. Who would bring that kind of thing with them? Wouldn't it be safer and more convenient to kill them directly and preserve the extraordinary materials?"

There was a sneer from the corner, and it sounded like the "Black Snake" who was suspected of being connected to the Aurora.

Medicine Master Darkwill immediately responded: "If you can tame an extraordinary creature, who would be stupid enough to kill it? The dead ones can only be used as materials, while the living extraordinary creatures can become my helpers, making me even more powerful..."

His voice gradually became lower, as if he realized that he had revealed some secret.

Could it be that he wanted to tame extraordinary creatures to work for him?

Angel thought, the pharmacist had undoubtedly been promoted to the next level after obtaining the potion materials at the last party. Maybe he had some special way to make extraordinary creatures use himself, just like "Justice" Audrey. That extraordinary dog...

No one else responded to the pharmacist's request. These were all wild Extraordinaries with low rankings. They were living cautiously in the big city of Backlund, barely making ends meet. How could they have the leisure to raise an extraordinary creature in captivity?
"Maybe you should hire a few people to help you catch one, or I have another idea," Moriarty said, his tone serious and loud, "You first raise an animal that needs it, and then put the potion Feed it, and you will have an extraordinary creature that obeys your command and is exactly in the sequence you need."

"This is too luxurious. A potion costs hundreds of pounds, and there is a high probability that an animal will lose control or die after taking the potion. Unless someone has a mine at home, no one will do this!"

Darkwill just thought Moriarty was joking and retorted with some annoyance. Seeing that no one else responded, he retreated to the sofa and stopped talking.

After the transaction of several other items was completed, the woman who often sold extraordinary weapons spoke:

"Is the lady who asked me to search for extraordinary weapons last time here?"

Did she get a weapon?

Angel was overjoyed and responded: "It's me. Do you have the weapons I need for sale?"

"Yes," the lady nodded, "but this is a customized weapon and you need to go there in person."

She didn't say where she was going, but Angel immediately understood what the other party meant: the user of the weapon needs to meet with the craftsman behind her to explain the requirements in detail and negotiate the price.

But this is equivalent to "online transaction" going "offline", and there is a high probability that the craftsman is not the lady herself. In other words, it involves another person who did not attend the party, and the safety is questionable.

"Give me your address first, and I will take the time to go there."

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to get the other party's address first, and then decide whether to meet the craftsman. This way she could be fully prepared, and even do some divination in advance to avoid being set a trap.But handing over the craftsman's address would expose the craftsman to the outside world. Angel was already prepared for the lady to refuse, but he didn't expect the craftsman to be very forthcoming. He took the note and quickly wrote the contents and handed it over to the waiter.

Looking down, Angel understood clearly. No wonder the other party was not worried about the safety of the craftsmen at all.

"West End, Green Park Street, Carvey Clock Shop opposite Lever Church, look for Ms. Carvey."

Unexpectedly, after Ms. Kawei from Port Enmat came to Backlund to "retire", she actually started to return to her old career.Anyone who dares to go against the craftsmen of the "Heart of Machinery" next to the Lever Church will have a long life...

After putting the note away, she smiled at the lady and said, "I will make time to go there, thank you."

"It doesn't matter, just think of it as a 'share' paid to you."

There was even a little apology in the lady's words, which made Angel feel baffled.

"This time I brought 50 bullets with different effects, including 20 'purification bullets' that can purify ghosts and resentful spirits, 20 'demon hunting bullets' aimed at fallen creatures, and 10 'exorcism bullets' that can restrain evil monsters. Bullets', the effect can last for more than one and a half years, and comes with a revolver of the same caliber, totaling 500 pounds, or the price can be increased in exchange for the formula of the 'briber'."

She introduced the items she planned to sell today in a loud voice.

No wonder they talk about "sharing"... It turns out that I was inspired by the extraordinary bullets I sold last time and started the business here. These bullets were probably made by Kawei or other similar craftsmen.It seems that this lady may have a background in "Machine Heart", or even be an official, and while keeping an eye on this gathering of extraordinary people, she can also make some "extra money" by selling some of the extraordinary weapons.

Angel didn't feel any resentment. The materials for her to make "Gathering Storm" were rare, and she needed to keep some of them for her own use, so she didn't sell many bullets. She could even sell them to Mr. A. There wasn't much competition between the two. relation.

To her surprise, Moriarty, who can use "air bullets", was very interested in these bullets. He quickly called out the price, and then a man raised the price to 600 pounds. After hesitating for a few seconds, he made an offer that the other party could not refuse. price:

"I have the recipe for 'The Briber'."

"Sorry, sir, I'll give you priority in exchange for the formula." The lady said to the man bidding, her tone changed with excitement, and then she looked at Moriarty, "How much are you prepared to bid?"

“These 50 rounds of bullets, plus a supernatural weapon or magical item that can deal with ghosts and undead, if the effect is very good, I can make up the difference.

"If other people have weapons, items, or spells with similar effects, I need them too."

He said the last sentence to other participants.

"Barbarian" is a Sequence 8 potion, so the "briber" this lady urgently needs is probably a Sequence 7 potion from the same route. The value of this level of formula is generally around 800 pounds, and may be worth a premium of 1000 pounds. If deducted The remaining 500 pounds of bullets happen to be the same price as the weapons she usually sells... It seems that Moriarty has received a commission that requires dealing with undead and resentful souls, and is preparing for it?
Apart from his own Cursed Black Flame, Angel has no way to deal with these targets. "Storm Convergence" is only effective against physical targets. In the past, he could kill resentful souls through the combination of "Thirst for Blood" and "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption", but it's a pity that The weapon is damaged, which is why she's eager to buy an extraordinary pistol.

After the assessment, she felt that she could not help much, so she did not speak.

The lady quickly gave the terms of the deal: 50 rounds of bullets, and a "Sun Flame Dagger".

This weapon was once sold at the "Eye of Wisdom" party, but no one needed it at the time, and unexpectedly it has been kept until now.It allows the user to resist most cold and disease effects, and has a chance to emit flames that have special effects on undead and resentful spirits when attacking.

It has similar side effects to many magical items whose power comes from the "eternal blazing sun". Holding and using it for a long time will turn the user into an idiot who can only praise the sun.

Moriarty seemed dissatisfied with this weapon. He slowly shook his head and finally decided to exchange the "briber" formula for 50 rounds of extraordinary bullets and an additional 500 pounds in cash. The other party agreed to the request without any hesitation, allowing Angel is very envious of the "artisan's" earning power.

Seeing that no one continued to speak, Angel took out the iron bullet box, opened the lid, and showed the extraordinary characteristics of the "Devil Dog", the transparent crystal with lava flowing inside, to everyone, and said:

"I found this on the corpse of an extraordinary creature. I don't know what it does. Maybe one of you would like to buy it?"
