Chapter 46 Purchase
"No, this is for you."
At No. 37 Greenshade Town, Beverly took a thick, bulging envelope and placed it on the table in front of Dorothy. Dorothy's eyes lit up after seeing it. She picked it up and felt the texture of the layers of paper inside.
'The largest denomination of the British pound is 50 pounds, and 5,500 pounds is 110 notes. This thickness is correct!'
Without opening the envelope, Dorothy judged the approximate number of banknotes in the envelope with her naked eyes alone. After confirming that it was correct, she put the envelope away with a smile, and then said to Beverly with a smile.
“Happy cooperation~”
"It's a pleasure working with you. If you have news like this next time, remember to come to me." Beverly waved at Dorothy. Dorothy opened the envelope, glanced at it casually, put it away, and continued to ask Beverly.
"By the way, do you have any information about the remains of other Star Number Cultivation Societies? If so, I'm willing to pay for it." Dorothy said this. Now she planned to accumulate spirituality while looking for a way to advance to Chalk. However, such a method can only be found in the remains of other Star Number Cultivation Societies.
"The other ruins of the Book Repair Society... So you've already finished your work here? That's pretty fast.
"But I'm sorry, I don't know where the ruins of the Book Repair Society are. Although we accept items dug out from the ruins, we don't go to the ruins to dig for items ourselves. If you want to know the relevant information, you may have to ask somewhere else."
Beverly spread her hands and said, listening to her words, Dorothy continued to ask.
"Then do you know where I can get similar information?"
"Many places, for example, the archives of the Security Bureau record many abnormal places in Prit, some of which are ancient ruins. I think there should be some records of the ruins of the Book Repair Society. Then there is the church. They have a special holy relic collection team that searches for ruins and tombs all over the world to dig for treasures. Although they mainly target the ruins of the Glorious One, they should know more or less about other ruins.
"But if you want to talk about the group that knows the most about various ruins and tombs, it has to be the group of treasure-stealing guilds. This group of thieves roams all over the three continents. Wherever there are ancient relics, they are there. Every year, 70% of the various earthenware we receive are from them. If you can find a group with a large enough body, maybe you can learn something."
Beverly said this to Dorothy. After hearing Beverly's words, Dorothy couldn't help but ponder.
"A treasure-stealing society? An extraordinary organization composed of tomb robbers? That's right... In all kinds of ruins and tombs in this world, there are extraordinary elements everywhere. There are probably undead spirits, traps, curses, etc. If the tomb robbers themselves are not extraordinary people, then it will be too dangerous."
"A treasure-stealing society? There is also an extraordinary society of tomb robbers. Do you have any relevant tips you can introduce to me?" Dorothy continued to ask Beverly. In her impression, Beverly should know quite a lot of tips.
"Well, I'm sorry. Although I have many connections, I don't have any connections with the Treasure Stealing Society. Because there are few ancient relics in Plit, the Treasure Stealing Society is not very active. Since they have no sense of existence, I have not had much contact with them. The Treasure Stealing Society is only very active in places that used to exist in powerful ancient civilizations and have a lot of relics, such as North Ufeija."
Beverly waved her hand and said to Dorothy. Dorothy's eyes lit up when she heard Beverly's words.
"Northern Ufeija? Oh, by the way, if I remember correctly, Nephthys's grandfather seemed to be a tomb robber, a tomb robber who was active in Northern Ufeija before. He had dug up relics with poison detection capabilities, and was able to give Nephthys items that could resist poison detection... This meant that he was most likely a Beyonder, and belonged to a treasure-stealing association.
"Perhaps... when I have a chance in the future, I can ask Nephnis about his grandfather. Maybe I can get some information about the Treasure Stealing Society."
Dorothy thought so, but at the moment she still had a long way to go in accumulating spiritual energy, so she was not in a hurry to start searching for other relics immediately. Now she planned to focus her main efforts on accumulating spiritual energy.
Afterwards, Dorothy, who had just received the money, started buying things from Beverly again. She spent 860 pounds to buy three "lamp" storage items. Since Beverly bought a lot of "lamps" and "shadows" in addition to the "Enlightenment", the prices of these two items were also driven up a lot. Dorothy was afraid that the price would go up, so she didn't buy more.
The reason why Dorothy bought the "Lamp" storage was not only for her daily divination needs, but also because she wanted to stock up some for the next time she harvested leeks. Now the "Start" storage of the Tivian Artisan Guild was almost sold out, and she had to wait to collect it slowly and transport it from other places.
Once the Artisans Guild has enough "Qi" stored up and the price of "Qi" drops, Dorothy can make another profit from the "lamps" she has stored. This is what she planned.
In addition to the "lamp" collection, Dorothy also spent 840 pounds to buy two secret books, one with the theme of "shadow" and the other one that Dorothy originally wanted to be about "lamp", but Beverly didn't have it, so she could only ask for the one about "silence".
In fact, from the perspective of spiritual accumulation alone, Dorothy's gains from buying the secret teachings are far greater than those from buying stored items. However, compared with stored items, the source of the secret teachings is not stable, and merchants do not have everything available at all times and places.
Before leaving, Dorothy spent a total of 1,700 pounds to buy three "lamp" storage items and two secret books. After calculating the income, expenditure and the cash she already had, Dorothy now has 4,450 pounds in cash.
Then, with the largest harvest of her life, Dorothy left No. 37 and went home. She immediately sat down at the table in the study and took out the two secret books she had obtained that day.
First, Dorothy began to look at the secret book of "Shadow". After turning two pages, she suddenly became interested.
The name of this secret biography is "Poems of Suffering". Although it looks like a secret biography on poetry, it actually describes the experiences of a poet.
The protagonist of this book was originally an unsuccessful poet with no talent. He was depressed all day long because his poetry collection was not appreciated by the public.
By chance, the poet got into trouble with a gang and was beaten. In the pain of being abused, he actually felt a burst of inspiration. After he died, he wrote poems on his bruised body that could be published in newspapers and sold well.
After this, the poet began to actively seek pain. He allowed others to abuse him, and even abused himself. His mental state continued to deteriorate, and he even claimed that he could talk to spiders.
The branding iron and the whip made the poet heartbroken but he was submerged in it and could not stop. He tortured himself more cruelly than others. The poet was inspired in the pain. The more broken his body was, the more his thoughts flowed like a spring, and he wrote many excellent works.
Eventually, the poet died of self-torture at home. Before he died, his body was pierced with needles, his nails were pulled out, and his body was covered in blood. Before he died, he left behind his last chapter of poetry, praising the Queen of the Deep Web Spider.
