Death knell? Every shot is a death knell for the enemy? I like this name... Klein controlled his facial expression, moved closer without any expectation or excitement, and reached out to take the iron-black revolver with a slightly longer barrel.

He was originally worried that if he showed his strong desire, the other party would raise the price temporarily, which was a common thing in transactions. But he thought about the fact that Gehrman Sparrow was already famous, and Anderson, the strongest hunter in the Misty Sea, could testify. Although Oakfa Connorchlis might have been a Sequence 5 warrior, he had already retired from the adventurer circle and only wanted to live a stable life. He would definitely not dare to offend him. He was afraid that the crazy adventurer would not get angry in front of him, but would sneak into the manor at night.

Therefore, his efforts to maintain a calm attitude became purely a need to maintain his persona.

Seeing Gehrman Sparrow carefully examining and studying the Death Bell, Oakfa introduced it in detail:

"Its ability is actually very simple, which is to harvest other people's lives. There are three ways to do this:

"The first is the weakness attack. It does not require any conditions to be activated. You can use it by simply infusing spirituality and pulling the trigger. It allows you to discover the target's weaknesses from a mystical perspective, that is, the weak points of defense, and provide corresponding precision, thereby causing terrible damage beyond normal.

"The second is a fatal attack. You must cock the hammer before shooting to use it. Its feature is that no matter where you hit the target, it is equivalent to a weak spot attack. If you really hit the real weak spot, then for an enemy with not too strong defense, it can be fatal in one shot. For a target with good defense, it can be killed within three shots, including the 'Guardian'. Of course, the premise is that the interval between the three hits cannot be too long, preferably no more than 5 seconds.

"The third is 'massacre'. On the basis of weak point attack, it provides more than double the spiritual power. This can make normal bullets produce shotgun effect, and attack a large number of enemies in the direction of the muzzle at the same time. It belongs to range killing. If you want to increase the degree of damage, on the basis of fatal attack, it provides more than double the spiritual power. This is not a small burden for the user.

“It can also be used with bullets of different characteristics to target different types of enemies.”

This sounds like a Sequence 5 Reaper from the Hunter pathway... Klein glanced at Anderson next to him and asked thoughtfully:

"If the target is a dragon with a physical strength of Sequence 4, how many shots would it take to kill it with a fatal attack?"

Okefa was stunned for a second, then shook his head dully:

"I've never encountered a dragon."

Not to mention the giant dragon whose physical level has reached demigod level!

Did Gehrman Sparrow want to use this gun to slay a dragon? A demigod-level dragon at that? Wasn't that a little too crazy? Oakfa suddenly felt that the adventurers nowadays were completely different from when he was active. They didn't even consider whether they would die or not!

Anderson coughed twice, cleared his throat and said:

"It depends on luck, really, believe me, luck is very important!

"If you encounter a giant dragon that has been beaten to the point of death by others, then one shot will be enough to take it out. If not, my advice is to run away quickly. Well, staying alive is more important.

"Of course, if a demigod-level dragon doesn't defend itself and stands there for you to attack, then five or so fatal attacks should be enough to kill it."

Oakfa looked at Anderson, then at Gehrman Sparrow, and decided not to continue the topic. He changed his topic and said:

"Anderson has told you about the negative effects of the 'Death Knell', right? Each time you use it, you will gain a weakness that didn't exist before, or strengthen an existing weakness, making it more extreme. This effect will last for 6 hours. Once, I became very afraid of dogs. After I had just hunted a famous pirate, I fell to my knees in front of a kitten that was just born. I cried for help and begged for mercy.

"If you just carry it, it's not a big problem. You just get thirsty easily, so drinking more water and going to the bathroom more often will solve the problem."

I always feel that the negative impact of having one more weakness will cause a lot of accidents... But relatively speaking, it is something I can bear... Klein considered it and said:

"Make an offer."

“9,000 pounds. Anderson should have mentioned it. This is my bottom price.” Oakfa said as he looked at the Deathstroke revolver in Gehrman Sparrow’s hand. “This is already cheap enough. If I wasn’t worried that meeting more Beyonders would have a negative impact on my current life and actively promoted it, I would definitely be able to sell it for 12,000 pounds.”

Indeed, as long as the negative effects of this level of magical items are not too serious, they are likely to be sold at a sky-high price if they meet the right buyer... Normally, 10,000 to 12,000 pounds is reasonable... Although Klein wanted to bargain again, the price offered by the other party was so low that he felt a little embarrassed to take advantage of it, so he said "hmm":

"I'll give it a try, and if there's no problem, we'll make the deal."

Of course, he didn't really want to test the gun, as this would give him an extra weakness. His method was to use spiritual exploration combined with divination and lie detection to check. He did it quite calmly and didn't care about the looks of Oakfa and Anderson at all.

I'll go above the gray fog to confirm it later... However, Oakfa wouldn't dare to lie to me. He must be afraid of the crazy adventurer's revenge. After all, he has returned to a stable and peaceful life with a wife and children... Klein put the "Death Knell" on the table, picked up the suitcase, and took out the huge sum of 9,000 pounds that he had brought from the gray fog to the real world to "dissipate the smell".

Okefa took the money, counted it quickly, and preliminarily confirmed its authenticity and total amount.

"As expected of the most famous adventurer recently, there aren't many people who can take out 9,000 pounds in cash at once. Even some wealthy people don't have so much liquid funds." He collected the stacks of banknotes and sighed sincerely.

I spent 5,000 pounds to buy a key before... Klein watched the 9,000 pounds enter Oakfa's drawer, and his heart suddenly felt empty.

I've been at sea for so long and saved so much money, but it was all gone in a short time... Now I only have 2,683 pounds in banknotes and 6 gold coins left, which is not enough to buy even a slightly better manor... Klein sighed inexplicably, took out the ordinary revolver from the gun bag under his armpit, took out the bullets from it, and stuffed them into the "Death Knell" one by one.

Anderson watched the entire transaction and said:

"Okefa, you've changed. You used to check the authenticity of each banknote one by one. If it's too much trouble for you, I can help you!"

"That's totally fine, but I'm worried that German will shoot you." Oakfa was obviously well aware of the strongest hunter's talent for provocation.

He could imagine the scene of counting banknotes one by one and holding them against the light to verify their authenticity, with slow movements and an annoying attitude.

That's right! Klein agreed silently and put the iron-black long-barreled revolver into the gun bag under his armpit.

The original one was thrown into the suitcase by him.

"Thank you for your generosity. I don't have to worry about this anymore." Okefa smiled and pointed to the door. "I'll have my butler take you away."

Anderson opened his mouth and uttered:

"Ocfa, you won't even invite us to dinner?"

"When you get married and have children, I will invite you to the most luxurious restaurant to share a meal." Okfa smiled, not caring about his companions' accusations at all.

After leaving the manor, Anderson squinted his eyes and looked up at the setting sun. He chuckled and said:

"When I met Oakfa, he was just a doctor who was good at growing strange plants on the ship to improve everyone's life. I thought he would die early in his adventures, but unexpectedly, he had good luck and even became a 'druid' later."

Why do your words of emotion sound so annoying... Klein deliberately said:

“It’s really good.

"As your companion, it takes a lot of luck to survive."

Anderson tilted his head in surprise, and looked at Gehrman Sparrow for a few seconds.

"You can also taunt people? Have you been infected by me?"

He didn't pay much attention to it. He straightened his clothes, took off his hat, and said with a smile:

"Well, now that you have the magical item you need, if there is nothing else, it's time for me to embark on my own journey."

"Don't forget the demigod's mission." Klein used only one sentence to successfully make Anderson's expression bitter.

"I have an urge in my heart that tells me to finish that task as soon as possible. Well, no need to say goodbye. Maybe we will really meet again one day." Anderson laughed at himself, shook the hand holding his hat, and turned into another road leading to Bayam.

Klein calmly watched the strongest hunter go away, exhaled slowly, picked up his suitcase, and walked towards Bayam step by step along the original road in the fiery red sunset and under the shade of the distinctive palm-like trees.

…………

In Bayam City.

After finding an ordinary hotel to stay in, Klein began to think about what to do next:

“I finally have some free time to try to play the role of ‘Master of Secret Puppetry’ and refine the corresponding rules. This is one of the most important things for me right now.

"Well, 'Master of Secret Puppet', the focus should be on the 'Secret Puppet'. I haven't actually made a puppet and manipulated it to fight, so I'll start with this aspect first.

"This must be done before we return to Backlund. Not only are all the Beyonders hiding there, making them hard to meet, but no matter what we do, we may offend the church and some important person. We must be very cautious and careful. This is not a good place to select and make puppets. The sea is better. We will go to the bar and find a pirate who has committed crimes worthy of being hanged to test it."

With this idea in mind, Klein immediately stood up and left the room, just like taking a deposit slip to the bank to withdraw money, and went straight to the nearby "Seaweed Bar", where famous pirates often appeared.

Soon, he arrived at the door of the bar, sorted out his clothes, and pushed open the heavy wooden door.

Eyes subconsciously swept across his face, and at first they looked away naturally as if nothing was unusual. Then, someone shouted in a low voice:

"German Sparrow!"

In a flash, multiple figures in the bar quickly ran towards the back door. Before Klein could react to what was happening, the place became much quieter.
