Chapter 142 The Sudden Thorn Wheel (Two chapters in one)
Ryan thought about it, then joined the crowd and slowly checked it out.
Although there were many stalls in the Bat Market, Ryan did not dare to buy easily.
Perhaps the items on the stalls were more affordable, but they required a pair of knowledgeable eyes that could see through the authenticity.
At present, Ryan still did not have it.
Fortunately, there were also many formal shops along the street. From the various signs hanging on the top of the shops, Ryan could easily distinguish the main business of each shop.
Relatively speaking, these formal shops with fixed locations should have better credit.
Ryan observed several shops in succession, and finally found a pharmacy with relatively large traffic, with herbs, beakers and test tubes painted on the sign at the door, and walked in.
The tellers inside were three teenage boys with bright eyes, two of whom were serving customers.
Seeing Ryan coming in, the idle boy took the initiative to step forward and greeted him warmly: "Sir, welcome to Patricia's Pharmacy, what do you need?"
"Do you have hallucinogenic gas?" Although the other party was just a little boy, Ryan did not underestimate him and directly told him the poison gas that Endry used in the last battle.
Ryan couldn't detect it before, but now with the improvement of his mental power, Ryan can basically judge from the other party's mental state and appearance that the boy's mental power is beyond that of an ordinary adult male.
I just don't know if this is innate or the result of practicing basic meditation.
But obviously, the other party can't be regarded as an ordinary little boy.
"Um, sir, I have it." The little boy looked at Ryan with a slightly surprised look.
"The price?" Ryan said concisely.
"The price of 1 fluid ounce of hallucinogenic potion is 25 imperial gold coins."
The boy took out a bottle of dark liquid from behind the counter, and there was also a small package of paper wrapped in something that seemed to contain a powdery object.
Ryan did not ask, but waited for the boy to introduce himself. After all, he would be exposed as soon as he opened his mouth. In a strange place, it is not too much to be cautious.
"Sir, this bottle is a hallucinogenic potion, and this package is the corresponding amount of medicine. Once injected, it can quickly volatilize the hallucinogenic potion and form hallucinogenic poison gas." The boy introduced.
So that's it.
Ryan was still thinking that if this hallucinogenic potion was like gas, it would evaporate as soon as it was opened. In that case, it would be quite troublesome for him to put it in the emerald ring. Unexpectedly
, there is such a thing as a medicine.
"I want a smaller amount." Ryan looked at the square bottle in the other party's hand, which was obviously much larger than the bottle he searched from Endry at that time.
"Then there is only this kind, 0.2 fluid ounces, priced at 5 gold and 6 silver." The boy exchanged a thumb-sized bottle from the cabinet behind him.
Looking at the bottle the boy took out this time, Ryan nodded.
This is similar to the bottle he searched from Endry, and it should be just about the capacity of the emerald ring.
"Give me five bottles."
The little boy was obviously stunned. He didn't understand why the customer wanted to buy five small bottles. Obviously, it would be more cost-effective to buy a large bottle.
After all, the same volume, but the price is cheaper.
But the little boy looked at Ryan and obviously didn't dare to ask in detail.
"Okay, sir."
"Do you have golden sunflowers?"
"Yes, sir ." "
What about the wings of nocturnal vampire bats?"
"This... also has it." The little boy was obviously a little nervous. He guessed that the gentleman in front of him might be a pharmacist who focused on negative energy. You know, many pharmacists in this direction have bad tempers.
When the boy was preparing the materials Ryan needed, Ryan also looked around the room.
Ryan was surprised to find that he seemed to have seen many potions in the merit exchange book.
This reminded Ryan of the so-called pharmacy master in the Royal Pharmacist Association. His identity was probably not so simple, and it was highly likely that he would not be an ordinary person.
After all, the advantages of superb mental power in the preparation of potions are obvious. Whether it is the control of material quality or the delicacy of various operating techniques, it is very beneficial.
In addition, the production of some potions is obviously not something that ordinary people can have, such as advanced potions.
If you think about it carefully, the strength of the empire is unfathomable, and he only sees the tip of the iceberg!
"Okay, sir, all the materials you need are ready." The boy respectfully placed a black linen bag on the counter and said to Ryan.
When Ryan came out of the pharmacy, he was already holding the big bag in his hand.
Ryan glanced down, and when he thought of such expensive materials that would all be used to feed the dog, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Just now, Ryan bought all the raw materials for the mutant growth potion at once, such as golden sunflowers, nocturnal vampire bat wings, scavenger wolf claws, etc.
Of course, even if the finished potion is made, it will not be used on Ryan himself, but on "Cookie".
Just now, Ryan calculated the cost. After conversion, even if it is successfully made at one time, the cost of each unit fluid ounce of the mutant growth potion is close to 12 imperial gold coins.
Considering the probability of failure and the need to continue using the medicine for three months, Ryan bought 10 sets of raw materials at once.
This cost 120 imperial gold coins, which cost Ryan nearly one-third of the 500 imperial gold coins he had just received.
Working part-time as a pharmacist?
It's too expensive in the early stages!
In addition, if he doesn't add skill points, Ryan doesn't know what his success rate is.
After purchasing the materials needed for the plan, Ryan was in a good mood.
Since he came to the Bat Market, he also planned to stroll around and learn about the situation, and by the way, see if there are any books related to witchcraft that can be purchased.
Soon, he saw many stalls selling various unknown herbs and raw materials.
From time to time, customers would stop and carefully check the materials and talk to the stall owners in a low voice.
Ryan tried once. He pretended to stop and check the materials. He wanted to eavesdrop, but the other party saw Ryan also stopped and immediately shut up.
However, Ryan was not frustrated.
This was something he had expected a long time ago. If this Bat Market was originally a place for wizard apprentices to gather and exchange materials, then it is obvious that most of the customers here are wizard apprentices.
Even a first-level wizard apprentice has a mental power far beyond that of ordinary people. How could he be easily eavesdropped by Ryan?
After Ryan took a turn, he found that the Bat Market was actually not big. It was only a hundred meters from front to back, the size of a street.
In addition, the things sold here were all strange, including the eyeballs of some creatures, dried lizards, and various strange plants, most of which Ryan didn't recognize.
So, naturally, Ryan couldn't find anything good here.
At the same time, for the witchcraft he wanted to collect, Ryan looked around, but couldn't find a store that sold witchcraft alone. However, he saw ancient books like the ones Jenny brought in several grocery stores.
At first, Ryan was quite excited, but after just flipping through two pages, he found that these ancient books were either pure travel notes or incomplete diaries of a wizard apprentice. There were too many missing pages, making it completely unreadable.
This made Ryan a little disappointed.
In addition, the other party's offer also made Ryan speechless. These ancient books written in Akkadian cost three to five hundred gold coins, while the incomplete wizard apprentice diary was priced at nine hundred imperial gold coins.
Looking at the time, Ryan decided to return to the Crowley family mansion first.
When Ryan came out of the Bat Market and entered the carriage, the driver couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Sir, are we going back now?"
"Yes."
"By the way, sir, why did you stay in the bakery for so long? The baker in the master's kitchen is much better than the bakery on the market." The driver hesitated and still spoke.
Ryan was stunned by this. What
he saw was clearly a fortune-telling shop, not a bakery. Could it be that
Ryan seemed to think of something in an instant?
Sure enough, the bat symbol contained some mysteries, and it seemed that it could only be seen after meeting certain requirements.
After a little thought, Ryan felt that this criterion might be spiritual attributes.
It is likely that a person's spiritual attributes have reached a certain level before he can see the bat symbol and the door of the fortune-telling shop, and thus enter the market.
If it is an ordinary person, it is likely that he will not be able to see the bat symbol at all, and naturally he will not be able to find a way to enter the Bat Market.
Ryan nodded slightly, thinking to himself that this automatic screening mechanism is quite good.
Just as Ryan was riding in a carriage on his way back to the Crowley family mansion.
Meister County City.
In the Norman Baron family mansion.
With the help of the divine blood, Dennis, who has entered the level of quasi-knight, is trying on a dress with the help of a servant.
He looked at his handsome self in the bronze mirror and was very satisfied.
Later, he would attend the Crowley family's dinner.
The theme of the dinner was to celebrate the joining of a guardian knight in the Crowley family.
Although Dennis didn't know where the Crowley family invited a formal knight as the guardian knight of their family, he didn't care much about it.
Because he knew that the biggest problem of the Crowley family was that they couldn't find a suitable person to marry. After all, no formal knight would choose to marry into the family.
Dennis has also begun to prepare advanced potions, which will take at least one month and at most three months. Dennis also plans to impact the extraordinary.
As long as he enters the formal knight, he is almost sure to win the marriage with the Crowley family.
It was Miss Jenny, who was far inferior to Baroness Crowley in Dennis's heart - the beautiful widow.
Thinking of the plump woman, Dennis couldn't help but have a few more charming thoughts in his heart.
Although the other party's position in his heart is not as high as Claire's, it is more than enough as a short-term spiritual sustenance.
As for Tina, her status is a little too low. To be honest, Dennis is a little tired of her.
At this time, the door of his room was suddenly pushed open. Just when Dennis wanted to scold "Which servant is so uneducated", Baron Norman in hunting clothes walked in.
"Dennis, your dinner schedule can be cancelled."
"What?" Dennis was stunned and a little confused for a while.
"The new guardian knight appointed by the Crowley family is Ryan."
"Ryan? But I don't know a knight named Ryan." Dennis frowned and thought, but he still didn't react.
Dennis still didn't equate Ryan with a formal knight.
"It's Ryan, the son of the farmer in Goldshire," Baron Norman said in a deep voice.
"What, Ryan, this lowly person, has entered the supernatural and become a formal knight?"
Hearing the news from his father, Dennis was extremely surprised. His eyes suddenly widened twice, and his mouth was so wide that he could almost stuff a whole apple directly. After
being stunned for a long time, Dennis came back to his senses and asked, "Father, shouldn't he be dead?"
At this point, Dennis remembered that there were servants around, so he immediately stopped talking.
Baron Norman waved his hand, and immediately, the two maids who were helping Dennis put on the dress immediately left the room.
At this moment, only Baron Norman and his son were in the room.
"Black Sail just sent a message yesterday that Phil Kratz was unable to kill Ryan because they didn't find a suitable opportunity to attack Goldshire," Baron Norman explained.
"The damn Black Sail Pirates are so dishonest! If they had killed Ryan as agreed, this wouldn't have happened." Dennis said angrily.
"It's not the Black Sail Pirates' fault. I've learned about the situation. The Black Sail Pirates have some kind of agreement with the Black Flame Church, so they decided to attack several towns at the same time."
"However, I heard that Hamilton, the sheriff of Goldshire Town, severely damaged the Black Flame Church a few days ago. This should be the reason why the Black Sail Pirates did not continue to attack Goldshire Town." "
However, Dennis, as you said, the opponent's progress is too fast, a little abnormal." Baron Norman thought for a while and continued. "
It seems that we have to get rid of the opponent as soon as possible!"
"After all, if we wait until Ryan passes the canonization exam and becomes an official noble of the empire before killing him, it will be a lot of trouble." "
Once a formal noble dies abnormally, it will be difficult for the investigation force sent by the empire to deal with it."
"Father, are you finally going to do it yourself?" Dennis' eyes lit up and he looked at Norman expectantly.
You know, his father has been invincible in his heart since he was a child.
He firmly believes that as long as his father is willing to take action himself, that Ryan will definitely not survive tomorrow.
"No." Baron Norman shook his head and said.
"I have to find an old friend for help." In the Bat Market
in Mayster County City . A tall customer in a black robe came to a shop with a star, moon and sun logo on the door. "Old friend, long time no see!" Baron Norman took off his hood, smiled, and greeted warmly. "Hey! Norman, you are a rare guest. Why did you think of coming to me today?" In the shadows at the other end of the room, an old man in a black robe and gray hair raised his eyebrows and looked at Baron Norman who suddenly appeared in surprise. The boy serving on the side was very discerning. He immediately hung a sign of suspending business at the door and closed the door. "Old friend, I came to you this time to ask you to take action once." Norman sat opposite the gray-haired old man and said seriously. "Norman, you know, I haven't made a move for a long time." "Of course, Adams, as one of the few wizard apprentices who has mastered the spell system, I know the price for you to make a move." Norman said in a deep voice. "This is the goal. I hope you can deal with the other party as soon as possible." Norman handed a thin file to the old man. After returning to the Crowley family mansion, Ryan, wearing a silver-gray chrome iron knight's plate armor, ended the appointment ceremony amid the crowd's onlookers and applause. Then, there was a dinner party for toasting and bonding. However, at this time, Ryan's mind was full of thoughts about going home early. After all, he had a lot of things waiting to be done, such as forging a blood-marked steel warhammer and upgrading the blacksmith's professional level. In addition, he had to familiarize himself with the production process of the mutant growth potion. Although Ryan had purchased all the raw materials and understood the production process written in Akkadian, he still needed to study it carefully before actually making it. So, Ryan hurriedly dealt with the dinner, and under the resentful gazes of Baroness Crowley and Jenny, he left first and returned to his home in Shimmering Gold. But before leaving, Jenny told Ryan a good news, that is, her best friend Agatha also seemed to have ancient books written in spiritual language (Akkadian). But Agatha had no way to take the precious ancient books out of the family library. It seemed that the only feasible way was for Ryan to go with Jenny and then read them in the library on the spot, which Agatha promised that she could still do. Ryan immediately said that it was no problem, and tentatively scheduled to go to the Wiggins family where Agatha was in three days with Jenny. On the carriage back to Shimmering Gold, Ryan thought quietly. His thoughts were also very clear now. At present, he has entered the right track of the knight's path, and he can improve step by step in the future. But if he only has the means of a knight, his means of dealing with various strange enemies in this world are still too simple. Let's not talk about others. For example, if Endri had a higher mental power and could cast one or two more low-level witchcrafts, Ryan and Hamilton would have been in trouble in the Elim Mine. In addition, if Ryan had not grasped the opponent's weakness and simply relied on the sword to chop, he would not have been able to defeat the opponent. It can be said that if it were not for Ryan, any other senior knight would have died on the spot! On the other hand, it is obvious that the Black Flame Cult has more than one apostle-level master, or in other words, the other party should have people or means stronger than the apostles.
Therefore, Ryan thought that by quickly upgrading the levels of other professional panels, such as blacksmiths and dog trainers, he could accumulate a certain amount of skill points and attribute points, thereby improving the combat effectiveness of the wizard apprentice.
After all, the power of the entry-level contact witchcraft, 'Scorching Touch', alone amazed Ryan.
As for witchcraft, Ryan believed that he could find some by constantly collecting.
Therefore, it was not contradictory to prepare skill points in advance.
After returning home, Ryan found that it was already ten o'clock.
After thinking about it, Ryan decided to contact Lagre to forge the war hammer tomorrow, and after sorting out the newly purchased materials today, he began to practice the Giant Bear Breathing Method and Basic Meditation Method every day.
As soon as the practice was over, Ryan fell asleep quickly.
Suddenly, Ryan, who had just fallen asleep, woke up suddenly.
Just now, the lv3 level of danger perception reminded him that there seemed to be danger approaching.
This made Ryan get up and check immediately. When he looked through the window, he saw a mist slowly rising in the entire Shining Gold Town.
At first glance, it was normal to have mist on the night of the Frost Moon, but Ryan was keenly aware that the mist was actually a light black color and was rapidly becoming thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This immediately made Ryan's heart tremble.
Immediately, he began to put on the chrome iron knight's plate armor and carried the glimmering giant sword and bronze war hammer on his back.
Just when Ryan had just finished fully armed, he saw that the fog around the window was so thick that he could not see the place ten meters away.
There was something wrong with this fog!
At the same time, the sense of danger in Ryan's heart became stronger and stronger.
After thinking about it, Ryan quickly walked to his sister Mint's room, picked up Mint who was still sleeping, and went downstairs.
He quickly knocked on the door of his parents' room.
"Knock, knock"
"Who is it?" Mother Emma's lazy voice sounded, while father Old Ryan was sleeping very deeply and snoring at the moment.
"It's me, mother, Ryan."
"Huh?" Emma opened the door and saw Ryan in full gear. She was startled. She was originally sleepy, but she suddenly woke up.
"Ryan, what are you doing?" Mother Emma's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Ryan in surprise while holding her sister.
"Mother, wake up father. Also, take good care of Mint."
"There's something wrong with the fog around. You stay in the room and don't come out." After handing Mint to mother Emma, Ryan pointed to the thick fog outside the window, which was almost pitch black, and said.
Emma also felt something was wrong.
Because the fog at this moment seemed like a constantly changing tentacle, which was seeping into the cracks of the door and window.
Moreover, these strange fogs were actually a faint black.
Suddenly, Ryan's heart was alarmed!
"Boom!!!"
A pair of huge iron spike wheels with a diameter of one meter, rotating at high speed, directly pierced into the wall on one side of the kitchen, and cut quickly.
The structure of Ryan's house could not withstand such an attack. Two big holes appeared in an instant, and the soil splashed and smoke and dust rose!
"Ah!!" Mother Emma screamed in fear.
"Quick, hide!" Ryan pushed his mother Emma and quickly locked the door.
Then, Ryan took off the glimmering giant sword on his back and rushed out of the door.
Although there was thick fog outside, fighting in a cramped house was not conducive to Ryan's use of two-handed weapons.
In addition, Ryan also wanted to see what was attacking!
Because the enemy's high-speed rotating thorn wheel stirred up thick fog, an area was cleared immediately, which allowed Ryan to basically see the enemy's appearance.
Ryan's pupils shrank suddenly.
What kind of monster is this!
In front of him seemed to be a giant metal girl doll made of metal and nearly three meters tall.
The weird part is that the opponent's head looks like a girl with two ponytails and closed eyes, and the lower body is a cylindrical long skirt shape with a small top and a large bottom. The soles of the feet are stepping on two high-speed rotating rollers burning with black flames.
The two arms are hinged at one end, which replaces the position of the palms, and are the high-speed rotating metal spike wheels that just attacked the wall of Ryan's house.
"Stepping on the wind and fire wheels, with two ponytails on the head?"
Ryan was stunned!
