Finally... At the moment when the deal was reached, Klein breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the pressure on him was relieved a lot.
Although the messenger said that the 10,000 Loen gold coins could be repaid in installments and did not specify when it would start, Klein still did not want to delay it too long, fearing that he would anger Renette Tinicole.
This is a demigod-level spiritual creature. As long as she is really angry, she will have plenty of ways to make things difficult for her "employer" even if there are contractual restrictions!
Moreover, the expenses of playing the role of a rich man are really too high. The salaries of twenty servants and the corresponding expenses are only a small part of it. The following carriages, horses, drinks, gifts for neighbors, expenses for balls, and investments to conceal one's identity are all more deadly than the others. If I don't reserve more cash, I'm really afraid that I will go bankrupt and it will be difficult to continue...
Hey, 6,500 pounds plus the money I already have, is that enough to get me through until I reach my goal? No, my experiences over the past two days have taught me that I should never use my own knowledge to imagine the lives of rich people. I should probably need another 5,000 or 6,000 pounds to barely make ends meet... Klein wanted to raise his hand to rub his temple, but he ultimately resisted the urge.
He gathered his thoughts, looked around the "world" again, and laughed hoarsely:
"The second item is the 'biotoxin bottle'..."
He used relatively concise language to describe the brown translucent glass bottle that materialized, focusing on the characteristics of several toxins, the time they take effect, ways to prevent them in advance, and the negative effects of carrying them with you.
"Justice" Audrey felt both a chill down her spine and a little embarrassed when she heard it. The former was because of the horrible toxin that could make people tear off their own skin and flesh, and the latter was because of the strange aphrodisiac effect on a large scale.
This is really a crazy magical item... Well, it is the type that must be prepared in advance to work effectively. For ordinary "audiences", it is quite difficult, because observation and mind reading can help low-sequence Beyonders on this path to detect danger in advance and respond... But I don't need to do this. If I detect danger in advance, I can directly call for the protector... And, the effect is not what I like! It is also easy to endanger yourself! Audrey, you are already a mature and rational Beyonder. You can't buy everything you see! Audrey thought seriously for a few seconds and gave up the idea of asking the price.
Seeing that Miss Justice didn't speak, Klein couldn't help but let The World add a sentence:
"5,200 pounds."
Audrey bit the inside of her lower lip and shook her head politely.
"I was hoping for a more offensive magical item."
"Audience" is also a path that lacks frontal attack power in the early stages and is only good at influencing and controlling the target.
"5,200 pounds." Alger, the Hanged Man, Fors, the Magician, and Emlyn, the Moon, all repeated the price in a low voice at the same time, without a single extra thought.
"5,200 pounds..." Hermit Cattleya paused for a moment, as if remembering something, and then quickly added, "For me, it's not necessary."
Ms. Hermit seemed to be afraid of something... Audrey "Justice" keenly read her emotions.
At that moment just now, Cattleya first felt that the "biological toxin bottle" and the "toxin expert" Frank Lee were very compatible, and their abilities did not overlap too much, and they were complementary. She thought about whether she should buy it for her first mate, since he had saved a lot of money anyway. Then she thought about what kind of terrible experiments Frank Lee would perform after obtaining the "biological toxin bottle". She shuddered for no reason and gave up her original idea.
She didn't want to see the crew's children growing on the deck of the Future, the kind that mooed.
After the party, I will write a letter to Miss Sharon and tell her that the necklace of the Blood Admiral has been sold, and only the Biotoxin Bottle is left... Klein concealed his inner disappointment, thought for a moment, and let the World speak again:
"I have a copy of the Book of Secrets, which is a book on mysticism left by the 'Witch King' Karaman of the Southern Continent. It is suitable for mid-sequence Beyonders with a good foundation.
"The price is 1,000 pounds."
Knowledge equals money!
After being taught for a long time by Mr. Fool, Mr. Hanged Man and other members of the Psychological Alchemist Society, Audrey "Justice" was immediately moved.
She now has a very solid foundation in the basics of mysticism and is eager for advanced content.
Later, the Psychological Alchemy Society should also teach me some high-level mystical knowledge, but it will definitely not be comprehensive and will be limited to the spiritual realm... Audrey simply convinced herself and nodded slightly:
“This is exactly what I wanted.”
The Magician Fors was also very interested, but when he thought about the money on him, he shut his mouth silently. As for the other members, they were not lacking in similar knowledge.
As expected of Miss Justice, she didn't bargain at all. My bottom line is actually only 800 pounds. No, there is no bottom line at all. Knowledge is not something that can only be sold once... Klein happily let The World laugh softly and said:
"make a deal.
"However, I must remind you that you must never pray to the 'primitive moon'. This will turn you into a wriggling piece of meat that has crazy sex with different species and gives birth to all kinds of children. Of course, you can't pray to other hidden beings either. This is also very dangerous."
"Justice" Audrey was frightened when she heard this and couldn't help but change her sitting position.
She immediately calmed down, looked at the top of the bronze table, and said firmly:
"When I perform the secret ritual, I pray only to Mr. Fool."
She said it sincerely, without a trace of falsehood.
Miss Justice really admires and trusts The Fool... Klein was inexplicably moved, but also a little ashamed. Because the domain of the Poseidon Scepter and the Primal Moon did not overlap much, he was unable to complete the most effective response for some rituals. He could only try to mobilize a little power from the mysterious space above the gray fog to give him feedback.
Then, as the Fool, he expressed his attitude:
"very good."
At the same time, having initially achieved his goal, he asked the "world" to say casually:
"I also have an 'Interrogator' Extraordinary Feature here, it only costs 1,200 pounds."
...How many items does he have... "Magician" Fors was stunned.
Considering that Xio was still short of a lot of money and lacked the corresponding formula, she could only look away and pretend not to hear.
As for the Interrogator Extraordinary Characteristics of Mr. Fool’s subordinates, she did not think that they would keep it for her for so long.
Seeing no one respond, "The World" coughed and said:
“I don’t have a deal anymore.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Alger, who had been waiting, looked at Cattleya, the Hermit, and said:
"I want to know where there are Obnis sea monsters that don't belong to the Church of Storms."
The Obonis sea monster that doesn't belong to the Church of Storms? Is the "Hanged Man" really not a member of the Church of Storms? The "Hermit" Cattleya frowned for a moment, then relaxed:
"I'll help you find out. We can discuss the price after we have a definite clue."
"Okay." Alger exhaled silently.
The scene was silent for a few seconds. Seeing this, Emlyn the Moon said to Fors the Magician:
"I will give you the 100 pounds clue fee today."
"Thank you." Magician Fors said in a not very happy tone.
Mr. World's transactions just now were all in the thousands and tens of thousands of pounds, which made her a little numb.
Emlyn the Moon immediately turned to look at Derrick the Sun.
“We have the Elder Tree root crystals and auxiliary materials you requested.
"Give me a list of the monsters and resources around Silver City, and I'll pick out a few items of comparable value.
"Well, they cost me two thousand pounds, and my fee of two hundred pounds, which makes a total of two thousand two hundred pounds."
At this moment, Emlyn just wanted to exchange for something that he could sell quickly, otherwise he would have no money.
"Okay, um, thank you, Mr. Moon." Derrick was delighted, and suddenly felt that Mr. Moon was not so annoying.
He quickly materialized the corresponding list and handed it to Emlyn the Moon.
Emlyn flipped through the papers casually, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Because this information alone is of great value, and can reflect the detailed situation and corresponding resources of the area surrounding the City of Silver!
As I recall, they seemed to have read the list without paying... Emlyn the Moon couldn't help but glance at Alger the Hanged Man and Cattleya the Hermit.
At this moment, he seemed to understand something.
When Emlyn looked at the Sun again, he felt a new sense of superiority, but also a sense of guilt that could not be eliminated. He cleared his throat and said:
"This, this, and this..."
"Sun" Derrick took note of it carefully, saying that he didn't need to go back to Silver City, as he could collect all these items around the town in the afternoon.
Next, "Justice" Audrey asked for clues about the fruit of the psychedelic bell tree, and got a disappointing answer.
The transaction was over, and there was no need for Klein the Fool to announce it. They took the initiative to enter the free exchange session.
The Hanged Man Alger turned his head and said to the little Sun:
"Are you still in afternoon town?"
"Yes, but we are about to return to Silver City. The new exploration team has arrived today." "Sun" Derrick not only answered Mr. "Hanged Man"'s question seriously, but also took the initiative to mention, "I have told the 'Chief' that I got the 'Notary' potion formula while clearing the monsters in Afternoon Town."
The Hanged Man nodded slightly and said:
"What's his attitude?"
"He just said 'very good'." "Sun" Derrick carefully recalled the situation at that time.
Upon hearing this, Alger chuckled and said:
"You can rest assured. Your 'Chief' is happy to see you grow like this. In comparison, he will be more wary of the 'Shepherd' elder."
He did not continue the topic, but instead threw out a message to all members:
"Recently, many pirates have visited Bansi Harbor and found that it has been completely destroyed. Even if it is rebuilt, it will take several years."
