Inside the underground shooting range of the Krag Club.

After practicing shooting, Klein carefully maintained the revolver that came with it, and adjusted the ratio of purification bullets, demon hunting bullets, and exorcism bullets to 3:1:1.

Huh, he exhaled, put away his revolver, straightened his coat, and slowly returned to the first floor lobby.

He had just heard the waiter mention that today's limited supply was pan-fried dragon bone fish.

As soon as he entered the cafeteria, Klein saw an acquaintance, Talim Dumont. This equestrian coach with short brown curly hair and from a ruined noble family was eating his lunch with an unfocused gaze and without any appetite.

Klein carried his own plate over, sat down, and greeted them.

Talim turned his head and looked at him. His lips moved a few times and he was silent for three or four seconds. Finally, he stammered and said:

"Sherlock, do you know anyone who has strange abilities, very powerful, and rare?"

I know you. The person in front of you is... Klein raised his eyebrows slightly but did not give a direct answer:

"what you up to?"

Talim opened his mouth but said nothing.

He thought for a while with a serious expression, then forced a smile and said:

"Nothing, I just asked out of curiosity."

Last time, he asked what to do if you fall in love with someone you shouldn't love. This time, he asked if you know someone with strange abilities... Do you want to get rid of the other person and completely cut off your friend's thoughts? Who is worth taking such a risk? Hiring a killer is equivalent to murder! Klein muttered a few words silently and put a piece of boneless fish into his mouth.

Talim took a breath, quickly finished the food on his plate, and wiped his mouth with his napkin.

He seemed to have returned to normal, and said with a smile:

"Mike wants to hire you as his bodyguard for a few days."

Mike Joseph? The reporter from the Daily Observer? I remember his performance in "The Golden Rose" was quite outstanding... Klein laughed and said:

"What does Mike want to do now?"

Talim spread his hands and said:

"I don't know. He just mentioned this matter casually. It seems to be related to an interview assignment. He said he would visit you the day after tomorrow and hoped that you would be free to accept this commission."

"I'm not sure." Klein, who didn't know the specifics, did not give a definite answer.

At this moment, he heard an illusory and overlapping voice of prayer from a lady.

Miss Magician? Is she ready to sacrifice money in exchange for the formula? Klein quickened his pace, finishing the remaining food, then drank the dry black tea in one gulp and went to the reception desk to ask the waiter to open a lounge for him.

After sealing the room with the "Spiritual Wall", he entered above the gray fog and found that his judgment was correct. Miss "Magician" was applying to hold a sacrifice ceremony.

The reason why Fors had delayed until now was because she only had 370 gold pounds on her and had to go to the bank to withdraw part of her savings.

After some operations, she saw the 450 pounds in cash disappear into the "Illusionary Door", and a formula appeared in her mind:

“Sequence 8, Master of Magic.”

"Main ingredients: the stomach of a spirit eater, 20 ml of deep-sea marlin blood."

"Supplementary materials: 5 ml of hornbeam essential oil, 10 grams of clematis powder, a blooming red chestnut flower, and 80 ml of pure water."

Finally, I got it! It's been so many years! Fors was so happy that he couldn't help pacing back and forth, full of satisfaction.

She immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote down the formula in case she forgot it and had to trouble Mr. Fool again.

If I can't find someone who doesn't understand the market, the main materials will cost at least 300 pounds each, and I only have 430 pounds left... I have to work hard to make money... I, I want to write a new book! Fors suddenly felt full of motivation and was no longer the late-stage procrastinator.

…………

At 7:55 p.m. on Wednesday, Klein, carrying all his savings, walked into the house where the old man "Eye of Wisdom" was holding a party with mixed feelings.

He was covered in a black robe, with the shadow of his hood hiding his face, and he also wore an iron mask.

"1,674 pounds in cash and 5 gold coins. This is the new peak of my wealth. I wonder how much I will have left after this party..." Klein walked into the living room with a confused mind and scanned the area in the light of the flickering candle.

Hey, the pharmacist isn't here. Is he delayed by something? Klein frowned slightly and sat in the same seat as last time.

After a few minutes, the old man "Eyes of Wisdom" clapped his hands and said:

"Let's get started."

Before he finished speaking, someone couldn't wait to speak. It was the lady who was shrouded in secrecy and seemed to have the support of a craftsman behind her.

She lowered her voice and said:

"Has the friend who sold the Briber formula last time come?"

“I’m here,” Klein replied simply.

The lady was obviously relieved, she pushed the iron mask down and said:

"This time we have the extraordinary weapons you need. Of course, you can also choose cash."

"What extraordinary weapon?" Klein suppressed his inner restlessness.

The lady organized her words and said:

"It is a whip woven from the feathers of the sacred sunbird."

"You can usually disguise it as a belt."

"When used, it will be covered with pure sacred fire of light. Any undead monsters that are drawn by it will suffer great damage, and the weaker ones will even be directly annihilated."

"It can also be used to soak ** and create 'Holy Water of the Sun', but this will reduce the duration of its spirituality to one month at a time."

"It is currently effective for thirteen months."

"If you want, I can exchange it for the Briber formula without you having to pay any extra money."

Holy Sunbird? Not the Sunbird. If it's the latter's feather, I'll take it! Of course, only the tail feather will do, which can be used to mix the Sequence 4 "No Darkness" potion... Klein was quite satisfied with the weapon itself, but the problem was that it had a lot of overlap with the Purification Bullet and the Exorcism Bullet, and it could only be used for thirteen months. Every time a portion of Sun Holy Water was made, it would reduce the time by one month. By then, he would have to replenish similar items.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at the main seat:

"Mr. 'Eye of Wisdom', can you tell me more about the brooch you mentioned last time?"

"Well, write it down on a piece of paper and indicate the price that will satisfy you."

He was afraid that other people present would also be interested in the brooch after hearing the introduction and thus raise the price, so he temporarily decided to let the other party write it.

"Okay. Eye of Wisdom" smiled and asked the waiter to bring paper and pen.

While he was writing, the party members continued their transactions. Someone even asked about the price of the whip, but was told to wait.

After a while, the Eye of Wisdom wrote the introduction and handed it to Klein through the waiter.

Klein unfolded the paper and found that the words on it were all printed, with nothing special to be seen.

Very careful... He read carefully:

"'Sun Brooch', can also be called 'Midsummer', similar to the weaker type of Level 2 Sealed Artifact."

"With it as the center, a pure and warm force will fill the ten-meter radius. Normal humans cannot sense it, but undead monsters will continue to be harmed. They will evaporate quickly like a pool of water under a blazing fireball. Even resentful spirits and shadows will be the same, but they will last a little longer."

"Under this environment, the strength of powerful undead will be significantly weakened."

"The wearer is unlikely to be possessed or contaminated by evil spirits, and can use spells such as 'Summon Holy Light', 'Make Holy Water', 'Fire of Light', 'Purification Slash', 'Immune to Fear', 'Sacred Oath', and 'Solar Aura'."

"The disadvantage is that as long as you wear it, you will never feel cool and will always be in terrible heat. Young man, don't underestimate this state. You will be so hot and restless that you will gradually step into the abyss of losing control."

"I can only sell it if the price reaches 2,000 pounds."

"Don't try to bargain. You should know that I am not short of money and I am a collector."

It's much more powerful than I thought. The old man "Eye of Wisdom" was too vague last time... Klein's heart was pounding. After thinking for a few seconds, he turned his head to look at the lady with the "craftsman" behind her:

"Nine hundred pounds in cash."

The normal selling price of a sequence 7 potion formula is around 800 pounds.

"Deal!" the lady answered without hesitation!

...If I had known, I would have offered 1,000 pounds... Klein forced a smile.

He was a man of his word and did not go back on his word. He exchanged the prepared formula for 900 pounds in cash. The amount of cash on him instantly increased to 2,574 pounds, which was enough savings for a single man to live a good life for the rest of his life.

After the old man with the "Eye of Wisdom" had verified it, the lady looked at the formula again with satisfaction:

"Sequence 7, Briber."

“Main ingredients: one Crying Baby flower, one weird-faced marijuana crystal.”

“Supplementary materials: 5 drops of golden mandragora juice, 5 drops of black mandragora juice, 4 drops of psychedelic grass essential oil, 80 ml of red wine.

After completing the transaction, Klein took a breath, looked at the old man "Eye of Wisdom", and said solemnly:

"2,000 pounds, I want the 'sun brooch'."

The Eye of Wisdom laughed twice:

"To be honest, I don't really want to sell it, but since I already have '2-081', the 'Sun Brooch' is not necessary, and I've already made an offer, so going back on my word is not my style."

"Wait for three minutes. I'll get the 'Sun Brooch' out."

“Okay.” Klein answered with both pain and anticipation.

At this time, the eyes of the extraordinary people in the living room were all cast on him. Transactions of 2,000 pounds rarely appeared in ordinary gatherings of this level, and might not occur once in one or two years.

And from these looks, Klein clearly sensed a certain greed and covetousness.

After a brief silence, the transaction continued until the "Eye of Wisdom" came back. In his open palm lay a dark golden brooch in the shape of a sunbird.

It can be clearly seen that there is some sweat on the face of the "Eye of Wisdom".
