Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 58 Chapter 21 Betting on Luck

The first smooth transaction made the atmosphere a little more lively. The woman who sold weapons at the last party spoke again: "I want to sell two weapons."

Hey, one more thing? Alice pricked up her ears curiously, and sure enough, the other party introduced the rune steel sword again, and even the reward he asked for remained unchanged.

Immediately afterwards, there was an introduction to the second weapon: "A meat saw knife. It has a sophisticated mechanical structure, can be deformed, and is easy to carry. This is a practical weapon. It is made by outstanding craftsmen. It is rare. It costs 25 pounds. .”

The huge price difference between before and after made Alice stunned for a moment, and then she realized - oh, this is not an extraordinary weapon, so no wonder.

But then again...is there a "craftsman" behind this lady? Or an organization with “artisans”?

While Alice was thinking, a gloomy man in the corner asked to take away the rune steel sword, and the saw blade later became the collection of the old man "Eye of Wisdom".

After a brief silence, the seller who last sold "Fortune Accessories" spoke again: "I want to sell an extraordinary item. It's called 'Fortune Accessories'. The specific effect is..."

He repeatedly introduced the pros, cons and prices of "making fortune accessories", which were unchanged from last time - it seemed that he was really not in a hurry.

Klein's heart was briefly moved by the effect of getting rich accessories. Under Alice's poison, he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​a bug.

Unfortunately, they have a common problem - they have no money.

Klein, who was trapped by money, slowly exhaled and said during the silence: "I want to sell an item."

After successfully attracting everyone's attention, Klein took out an iron cigarette box and introduced something that was familiar to Alice - Extraordinary properties.

Then, Klein, who had already made a draft, said: "This is something I got from a corpse. I don't know what it does. I just think it seems magical. Maybe some of you know it?"

Alice's gaze lightly swept around, but no one spoke. Maybe they didn't know the Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics, maybe they knew but didn't want to expose it...

Alice's eyes flashed slightly and she asked: "Who did it come from? I mean, what was the serial number of that corpse before it was alive? How did it come from?"

"I, I don't know..." Klein played the image of lingering fear very well, which made Alice want to tease him again.

No, no, this would reveal our acquaintance... Alice restrained her bad taste and lowered her head pretending not to be interested.

At this time, the old man with "Eye of Wisdom" glanced at Alice, coughed and said: "I probably know what it is and what it does, but knowledge needs to be exchanged for payment. I will pay 400 pounds." , believe me, this is an absolutely fair price, of course, you have the right to refuse.”

He recognized the sequence of this thing, and it was not through divination... Alice glanced at the old man with the Eye of Wisdom curiously, and she quickly thought of the Sequence 7 "Appraiser" of the "General Knowledge" path.

"Deal," Klein accepted after just a moment of consideration, "But sir, you don't need to pay in a hurry, I still have a commission."

"What commission?" "Eye of Wisdom" asked with an old voice. Klein considered it and said: "Here's the thing, I offended a guy, uh, according to your circle, he should be a Sequence 6, maybe a Sequence 5 guy. I want to hire a bodyguard."

"Sequence 6, maybe Sequence 5? Why don't you die quietly by yourself? If we have reached this level, why do we still attend similar small gatherings?" the fat pharmacist blurted out.

He seems to be better at offending people than me... Alice twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "I suggest you accept this gentleman's opinion, so that you can at least choose a way to die that you like."

Klein tried his best to resist the urge to glare at Alice.

The only old man with "Eye of Wisdom" who was answering the question seriously laughed and said:

"Perhaps you don't know enough about our circle. Sequence 6, or Sequence 5, are very powerful and terrifying characters. Yes, there were indeed many Sequence 8 and Sequence 9 killing strong men of this level. But these are experiences that are difficult to replicate. I don’t think anyone here is willing to take huge risks to protect you. Well...if it can be determined that the other party only has Sequence 6 and does not have the corresponding magical items, maybe someone will challenge this task."

"Well, I'm not sure..." Klein spread his hands and said, "Then I can only work hard to save myself. What can 400 pounds buy? Um, the magical item you just mentioned?"

"Believe me, the magical items you can buy for 400 pounds will definitely not be able to deal with your enemies, and may even bring you additional danger. I suggest you apologize to the other party, sincerely. Maybe 400 pounds can buy his understanding. ." The old gentleman with "Eye of Wisdom" gave sincere advice.

Alice sighed secretly in her heart. Knowing the cause and effect, she knew that apologizing would be of no use, just like she had never considered asking the mercury snake.

At this time, the man who had previously taken over the task of cleaning up the beasts suddenly smiled and said, "Maybe you can try your luck."

After hearing these words, Klein subconsciously wanted to take a look at Alice, who was the "lucky one", but he quickly restrained his actions.

The man continued:

"I have a magical item here, which I will sell to you for 400 pounds.

"It allows you to hear the voice of a great being. If you are lucky and interpret useful information from it, you will become very powerful. Protecting yourself is no longer a problem. Well, if you are unlucky and interpret the is a curse, or cannot be deciphered, you will be harmed or even killed.

"Do you want to take a gamble?"

Alice knew without thinking that this thing must come from the "Listener". She glanced at the man with a strange expression - couldn't this man be from the Aurora Society?
And the old gentleman "Eye of Wisdom" has already growled: "Black snake! Don't mention your unknown item!"

"Black Snake" chuckled and said: "I didn't lie, I didn't violate the rules here. I told him the advantages and disadvantages and let him choose. Well, the probability of interpreting useful information is only about 10%. , do you want to bet? "

Alice looked at Klein, she guessed that Klein would definitely agree to this. After all, he even dared to divine the Eternal Sun, and he was only the true creator...

"Deal." Klein's expected agreement stopped Alice's thoughts from drifting in a more disrespectful direction.
