Chapter 264 Encounter

Fekart twitched his lips, the words "long time no see" were particularly harsh in his ears. It was all because he thought he had made a sneak attack on himself but ended up lying there easily.

After losing all face, of course I have to go out and avoid them to reduce the chances of meeting them.

He coughed and said calmly, "It's been a long time, Mr. Crown."

Before the scandal became known to everyone, he pretended that it had never happened, and the other party took his money and did not take the matter to the extreme.

He sat down, said "hmm", and continued:

"In the past few months, our alchemist team received an order from the headquarters to transport a batch of mithril back to the Island of Xandani, so we have temporarily suspended the transaction with you.

I was the one responsible for transporting the mithril. After a trip to the headquarters, things went very smoothly and I brought back the extra mithril.

Today I brought ten pounds of mithril, and I can resume large-scale potion trading."

Clown pointed at the table with his finger, a faint smile on his face, and thought to himself:

"Let's not talk about the truth or falsehood of your words. You can stop if you want to, and resume if you want to. Who do you think I am?! I don't need your mithril now."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lisa became a little anxious. She glanced at Fekart and then looked away.

It was not the right time for her to speak, as it was she who made the decision to temporarily stop exchanging mithril for golden light potion.

If she spoke at this time, it would probably make things worse.

Fekart was unhappy in his heart, but he had a smile on his face. The senior pharmacists at the headquarters couldn't figure out the reason for this kind of medicine, so he could only buy it from here.

"Is there any difficulty for you, sir?"

With his unique ability, he can only accept the challenges from his teammates. When his teammates make a stupid move, he has to try to restart the deal in order to make the play more realistic and reduce suspicion.

While speaking, he was also observing the other person secretly.

Fekart is proficient in force field spells. During his time at the Brotherhood headquarters, he has also learned more advanced detection techniques, which allow him to deduce the strength of a target from the side by the invisible force field radiating from the target.

This detection spell is very covert and does not directly touch the target's body, but only detects the force field around it.

'Very strong, much stronger than me, should have already stood at the top of the third-level extraordinary.'

He soon came to a result that made him very depressed and jealous. Although this investigation was not particularly accurate, the obvious gap between the two made it impossible for him to refute this ironclad fact.

After the test, Fekart's strength is not far from reaching the standard of the silver rank, and he also has to start preparing the materials for his own sublimation magic circle.

“I’m sure your Excellency is aware that the potion requires a special material, and it was only after the Archbishop opened up the secret vault that we were able to get a sufficient supply.

Now the church's demand for mithril has waned a lot, and this special material has stopped being supplied to me, and I can't help it."

Clown spread his hands helplessly and continued, "I have recently improved the formula of the potion, and the effect of the potion has been greatly improved. The price of the potion will need to be increased in the future, by eight gold spirit coins per potion, but the production can only be maintained at 40 potions per month.

I'll take the loss this time, and I'll still provide you with 60 bottles of medicine, but the price remains the same. Five of them are samples with improved efficacy. You can test them. You can tell at a glance by the special marks on their bottle stoppers."

This decision was reached under the witness of the leaders of the two forces. It is not easy to cancel it directly, but he can at least raise the price.

Fekart's smile froze on his face. He came to discuss expanding the deal, but he didn't expect that the other party would not only reduce the originally agreed transaction quantity, but also increase the unit price.

If she took this result back, wouldn't it be a slap in his face and make people think he was incompetent? Lisa couldn't sit still. If she could only get 40 potions, she would have even fewer in her hands.

She now owes a large amount of gold spirit coins to the brotherhood, and almost all of her time is spent on refining potions to repay her debts.

"Sir, after such a long period of trading, we have established a deep friendship."

Clown laughed and waved his hand, saying, "We can only consider it as an exchange, each taking what we need. To be honest, I don't have much demand for gold spirit coins and mithril right now.

In this transaction, you are the ones who benefit the most. "

If these golden light potions are not sold, he can use them to purify spirit coins and will not lose anything, but those spirit masters who benefit from the potions will probably try every means to get the potions.

As long as he strikes the right balance, he can make more profit.

He is not afraid even if he is envied by others. As a person who has entered the silver realm and stands at the top of the world, Clown can now feel the gap between him and the third-level extraordinary people.

After advancing to silver, the physical skills are greatly improved, and there is stronger elemental resistance and will resistance.

And this improvement has been continuous. Even if he sleeps a lot every day, the gap is still widening.

Fecate calmed down and said:

“Sir, we are here today with the sincerity to expand the transaction.

Mithril is a strategic resource. I believe that with your talent, you will be able to prepare the materials for the sublimation array in a few years.

I think that no matter what kind of magic array a powerful force uses, the material that consumes the most is mithril, so it is necessary to prepare more now."

Klauen shook his head, unmoved. He no longer needed mithril.

The mithril he owed to others could be repaid slowly by refining it himself in his spare time. This would improve his alchemy skills and would also be beneficial for him to obtain better conventional explosives formulas.

Of course, if the other party is willing to lower the price of the mithril, he can also accept it.

The price of a pound of mithril dropped by dozens or hundreds of gold spirit coins. He would not be stingy with money, so it would not hurt to stockpile more mithril.

He pushed the wooden box containing the medicine to Lisa and said:

"The new potion is much more effective. You will know once you try it. You will find that although the number of potions has decreased, it can do more things."

The other party has been taking medicine for a long time and has the most say.

In fact, he was also very curious and wanted to know to what extent the other party's spirit had been purified.

The spirituality of a third-level spirit master should be completely entangled with the spirit he controls. I don't know how long it will take to complete the thorough purification after taking this powerful potion, but it is expected that it will not take long.

However, these were deeply private matters and he couldn't ask about them. Fortunately, he still had the samples of Lorraine and Leah.

Lisa and the other person said a lot of nice things, but Crown still didn't change his mind and made no concessions on the transaction quantity and price. They were told to leave the transaction alone for a few months.

He was very angry when he learned that the Brotherhood had decided to suspend the mithril transaction, but now he thinks that if he can gain enough benefits, he can continue the transaction.

He will have more and more opportunities to deal with various forces in the future, so it would not be good to do things to the extreme.

Besides, there are only eternal interests but no eternal friends. As the brain of a new force, it is too naive to do things based solely on one's own preferences, and it is not a qualified leader.

Seeing that things were completely at a stalemate, Lisa took out the prepared gold spirit coins, put away the potion, and said, "Sir, please order it."

Clown glanced at it and nodded slightly:

“The amount is correct, I accepted it.

There is one more thing I need to tell Lady Lisa. Leah and Lorraine have accepted my employment and will leave the Brotherhood office starting next month."

Lisa was surprised at their good luck and nodded stiffly to show that she understood.

The Spirit Master is an outer member of the Brotherhood, so it is relatively easy for her to stay or leave, but it is impossible for her to leave now. She has learned too many secrets of the Brotherhood and there is no turning back.

Thinking of this, she became envious of the situation of Luo Lin and the other person.

"Goodbye, sir."

The two men from the fraternity left, walked out of the church gate, and got on the carriage back.

Fekart's face was very gloomy and he was very angry. He thought the negotiations, which he thought would not be difficult, were completely messed up.

Lisa took out the marked new potion from the potion box, took out three for herself, and gave the rest to the Brotherhood for safekeeping. She wanted to see the real effect of this so-called higher quality potion.

Crown sat in the chair, stroking his chin with his eyes slightly narrowed. Fecat's exploration was very subtle, but he could still feel it clearly.

"Why is this guy secretly spying on me? Is he trying to repeat his failed move? If so, the original price he paid was too low, or he thinks I'm easy to bully."

He smiled wickedly on his face and became secretly alert.

A person who can become a third-level transcendent should not be a stubborn person, but he must be on guard.

If you want to get up from where you fell, it is impossible without support. He will keep his eyes on the target to see what tricks the other party is trying to play.

Thinking of this, he opened the window and blew a loud whistle.

Soon, Fukin flew back with Buster still in his claws.

Klauen gave orders to the two pets, sending the black cat to monitor Fecat and displaying the target's appearance information in the black cat's mind.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Fujin is now too big, and his feathers are too colorful and undistinguished, so he has lost the qualifications to be a spy.

Fortunately, the black cat's size has not changed much, otherwise we would have to send people, which would be even less concealed. The intuition of a third-level transcendent is still very sharp.

Letting Buster go to monitor is a random move, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to detect anything. This black cat has not received corresponding training and it is impossible for it to keep an eye on the target all the time.

But if there is a discovery, you can make a lot of money.

. . . .

As agreed, Fekart stayed at the Golden Rose Tavern, but he did not see the person he was waiting for at night.

It was not until the middle of the night that he was awakened from his sleep and found that there was another person in his room without him noticing.

"I came in and used a soothing spell on you, and then gave you a psychological suggestion that you would wake up in ten minutes."

Feeling the information transmitted into his mind, he knew that Lord Lannister had come.

He was a little frightened. If the other party was an enemy, he didn't know how many times he would have died.

Afterwards, he became happy. The silver-ranked warrior was so powerful, so it would be easy for him to deal with the target.

"Sir, I investigated the target today and it should have reached the pinnacle of the third-order extraordinary person. I also got his personal habits information from Lisa. I will verify it in the next few days."

Lannister, leaning back in his chair, shook his head and said calmly:

"Give me the information and I'll verify it myself."

It's not that he didn't believe that the other party was incapable of doing such a small thing, but when monitoring an opponent of the same level, if the target's spiritual perception is particularly sharp, he will be discovered on the spot.

Although he believed that as a warlock, Fekart must have stronger mental power than the Fire Fighter, he still liked to do the most important things himself.

Fekart didn't turn on the light. He released his dim vision, then took out the prepared materials from under the pillow and presented them to the other party.

Lannister took the information and smiled, "Not bad, go to sleep."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fekart mechanically returned to his bed as if he was sleepwalking and fell asleep.

After smiling to himself, Lannister sat for another two minutes, then left like a ghost, as silently as he had come.

Back in his room, Lannister carefully reviewed the target's information.

He discovered that the target would go out once every three days, leaving at noon and returning to the mansion at 9 Solent Street at around three or four in the afternoon.

He decided to observe secretly for a few times, and then arrange the time to take action when the other party returned to the city after going out.

No matter what the other party goes out to do, he should remain very vigilant when he goes out, as that will be detrimental to his use of mental magic.

The Brotherhood headquarters does not want to escalate the issue to the point of war, because if they do so they will likely be suppressed by all the churches.

By the time the target returns to the mansion, the tension in your heart should have really relaxed, and the probability of success is greatest at that moment.

The Lannisters' most in-depth research is mind magic, which can plant psychological hints in the target's mind without anyone noticing.

After advancing to Silver, it became easier for him to use spells to deal with low-level transcendents, as evidenced by the fact that Fekart was easily knocked down by him.

But in combat, allowing mental spells to take effect would obviously increase the difficulty of the game. He felt that it was not wise to give up the easy and pursue the difficult.

In the afternoon, he found out that the bishop owned a lot of property in the city and was obviously a wealthy man.

He wanted to quietly change Clown's cognition and obtain the formula of the target potion, not only to complete the mission but also to make a fortune.

. . . .

Six days later, Crown drove to the alienated area, this time on his own.

After arriving at the alienated area, he looked at the several circular areas inside that were obviously different from other places, and a smile appeared on his face.

The proficiency of the Golden Light Spell is constantly improving, and the power of various derivative skills is also constantly growing. The Golden Light Field's suppression of the laws of the alienated area is becoming more obvious.

The bad news is that the benefits of releasing the Golden Light are less, and you can only get about 150 points of proficiency each time. The increase in proficiency during visualization is also reduced.

As he leaves the alienated area, he summons a wall of gold.

[Golden Light Mantra: 24827/150000; Level 3]

[Flame Breath: 2586/50000; Level 4]

Ever since the Golden Light Mantra was upgraded to the third level, he discovered that the improvement of the Golden Light Mantra could actually lead to the breath of fire.

However, when he thought that the essence of the Golden Light Mantra was to increase his life force, he felt relieved.

Humming happily, he drove back to Hammers City.

Fecat left on an airship the day after they met. If there is any follow-up action, it will come soon. He has already commissioned the archbishop to help investigate the Brotherhood's movements.

The steam locomotive approached the mansion and Crown slowed down.

At this time, Lannister walked as if nothing had happened. He calculated the speed, and when the vehicle arrived at the door of the mansion, he happened to be nearby.

Since he confirmed the authenticity of the information, he has rehearsed this plan countless times. He has also observed the target from a distance several times and will never make the mistake of identifying the wrong person.

As they got closer, the steam locomotive stopped behind the door of the mansion and Lannister also walked to the preset position.

He didn't release his spell and cursed in his mind.

"Fuck, what rubbish information, this is the peak of the third level? It's clearly the silver level."

It turned out that he had been preparing for so long, and he was just a clown after all this time. Using mental magic to deal with the silver realm was a joke.

The soul light of the silver level is extremely clear in the eyes of those of the same level, and the target must have discovered him.

Now, it's time to test his acting skills.
