The woman, whose face was completely obscured by the shadow of the hood, looked around and said:
Both weapons this time are the type that are easy to carry.
"One is the ' Whip of Slowing,' modeled after a magical artifact. It continuously creates invisible constraints, gradually affecting your opponent and slowing their movements. The longer the battle lasts, the more pronounced its effect becomes."
"It can last for two more years, 450 pounds, or the ' Barbarian's' Potion recipe."
This whip sounds pretty good, it seems somewhat similar to the " Demoness of Pleasure's " spider silk abilities... But wouldn't it seem a bit strange for Little " The Sun " to use a long whip? Klein asked in a deep, hoarse voice:
"Can this invisible constraint affect spirit-like beings? For example, Wraith?"
The woman slowly shook her head and said, "No."
Before anyone could ask further, she continued, "The second weapon is called the ' Hurricane Axe.' It increases the user's movement frequency and running speed, and has a 15% chance to paralyze enemies. It also has a 5% chance to create a lightning bolt, and if used during a thunderstorm, the probability of lightning can increase to as high as 50%."
"These conclusions were drawn from experiments and a large amount of data."
"This weapon's effects will last no more than a year. 520 pounds, or the ' Barbarian's' Potion recipe."
This is much stronger than the " Whip of Slowing." If its extraordinary effects didn't only last for one year, it would probably cost more than this... By the way, according to Little " The Sun's" description and the scenes I vaguely saw, lightning flashes across the sky above City of Silver and the surrounding area at any time. The higher frequency occurs during the day, and the lower frequency occurs at night, which is very similar to a thunderstorm...
If it really works, then this " Hurricane Axe " will be a truly magical item in Little " The Sun's " hands. Every swing has a 50% chance of unleashing lightning, it's absolutely amazing!
Even if that doesn't work, just looking at the most basic extraordinary effects of the " Hurricane Axe," it's still a pretty good weapon, which fits Little " The Sun's " needs perfectly... As for the problem of only being able to use it for one year, that's easier to solve. After one year, given Little " The Sun's" digestion progress and City of Silver's extraordinary resources, as long as the Potion recipes keep up, he should at least have Sequence 6 weapon. At that time, the weapon will definitely need to be upgraded accordingly!
In a flash, Klein basically decided to buy " Hurricane Axe ".
At this time,
The Apothecary muttered, "An axe is easy to carry? I think that's a joke. I think it would be more suitable as a wrench. I mean, why can't you sell pistols with extraordinary effects?"
"I will try my best to collect similar items." The woman emphasized the word "collect." "Alright, those willing to buy one of these two weapons, please make your bid."
Before Klein could speak, he heard a man at the edge of the sofa say:
" Hurricane Axe, 520 pounds."
The woman waited a few seconds, then asked again, "Does anyone else want to bid?"
"530 pounds." Klein added 10 pounds.
The man who had spoken earlier immediately replied, "550 pounds."
... This... little " The Sun," if he raises the price above 600 pounds, I won't buy it; I'll give you a whip instead! With a definite strategy in mind, Klein calmly shouted:
£560.
He tried his best to make it seem like he would add an extra 10 pounds no matter what the other party quoted.
The 600 pounds he had just received could put invisible pressure on the other party.
Upon hearing the latest offer, the man at the edge of the sofa remained silent for a few seconds, then shrugged and said:
"Okay, it's yours."
Whew... Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Anyone else willing to bid on ' Hurricane Axe '?" the woman, her face completely obscured by shadow, asked again, while the living room remained silent.
"Deal!" Without further hesitation, the woman handed the box next to her right foot to the waiter who approached.
The waiter first had the " Eye of Wisdom " appraise it before presenting it to Klein, cash in one hand and the goods in the other.
After putting away the remaining four 10-pound notes, Klein opened the box and saw an axe that could be clipped to his back and tucked into his belt.
It is entirely iron-black, thick and sturdy, with a sharp blade. In Spirit Vision, it has a distinct aura color, indicating that the maker used a large amount of Spirituality materials.
The axe's surface was covered with numerous symbols and magical markings, embedded within it and transformed into lightning and hurricane-like patterns. Klein reached out and touched it, feeling a slight stinging sensation.
He nodded and placed the box on his lap.
It can be exchanged for the true roots and sap of the Mist Treant. My " Magician " only needs the spinal fluid of the Evil-patterned Black Panther... I've earned quite a bit from my recent commissions. Adding my original savings and what I had just received, I have a total of 209 pounds, 5 Soli, and 5 pence... The extraordinary materials corresponding to Sequence 7 are worth between 500 and 700 pounds... Heh, I still need to sell the recipe or knowledge... Hmm, I'll try to visit Leppard this week to check on his bicycle invention progress... Klein stopped bidding and quietly observed.
Subsequently, someone bought " Whip of Slowing " for 480 pounds, while an extraordinary material called " Feathered Man's Heart " failed to attract any bidders due to its high price of 1,600 pounds.
Based on his knowledge of occultism, Klein knew that this extraordinary material was classified as Sequence 6.
The subsequent transactions were mixed, with fewer successful ones and more unsuccessful ones. After all, most of the Beyonder who came to the gathering had clear objectives and would not waste money and resources indiscriminately, unlike Klein, who would accept any weapon that had extraordinary effects and was reasonably good.
"I'm selling Potion recipe, Sequence 9, ' Corpse Collector,' for 230 pounds," a man sitting quietly in a corner chair said in a deep voice as the story drew to a close.
"The Corpse Collector"? I remember this potion recipe is only available in the Church of the Goddess, the Church of the War God, and the Cult of Spirits... Could this be an undercover Night Watcher, or a member of the Cult of Spirits trying to resurrect Death? Of course, it's not too surprising that low-sequence recipes leak out; it's not exactly a closely guarded secret... I remember Old Neil mentioning that the "Corpse Collector" recipe contains dried black-spotted frogs... Klein controlled himself from smiling, looking thoughtfully ahead, and noticed that the "Corpse Collector" potion recipe was quickly sold.
Sequence 9 Potion recipes sell really well... I had a Sequence 8 " Raging Folk " recipe that I couldn't sell several times, but the " Light Suppliant " recipe that I combined with the Sequence 9 " Bard " was relatively easy to sell...
That's true. If an extraordinary Beyonder has spare money, they'll definitely collect Sequence 9 recipes to give their children and students more options, allowing them to pursue their strengths and interests. Under this premise, if Sequence 8 recipe doesn't include a basic Sequence 9 recipe, they can only wait for a corresponding Beyonder attempting advancement, and that might not happen for a year or two. After all, the Beyonder circle is very fragmented, and most people don't understand Acting Method...
Well, they don't yet understand the laws of conservation of Beyonder Characteristic...
Klein remained silent, lost in thought.
Fifteen or sixteen minutes later, seeing that the party was about to end, he tentatively asked:
Does anyone have the complete spinal fluid of the Evil-patterned Black Panther?
Quiet and silent, no one spoke in the living room.
Klein thought for a moment and then added:
"I will offer a reward that Beyonder cannot refuse."
For example, the laws of conservation of Beyonder Characteristic... Unfortunately, I have already sworn an oath to the goddess not to reveal the " Acting Method "... Well, I've already died once, I don't know if that oath has been lifted... Klein forcibly pulled his wandering thoughts back, but still didn't hear anyone speak.
"Okay, next one." He deliberately shrugged, a gesture he wouldn't normally make.
The Apothecary coughed lightly and said:
"I brought quite a few medicines with me. Take a look and see if there's anything you need. They're all inexpensive, only a few pounds, or even a few Soli."
The woman selling extraordinary weapons, upon hearing this, asked in confusion:
"I want to know if the dangerous wild animals in the sewers have been eliminated?"
The Apothecary immediately chuckled:
You've come to the right person!
After saying that, he spread his hands:
"I don't know either."
"After someone reported it to the police department, I never went to the sewers again."
Dude, you're so annoying... It must have been really tough for you to grow up healthy and strong... In that case, choosing the " Apothecary " profession was a very wise decision! Klein couldn't help but mutter a few words to himself in Chinese.
The woman took a breath, exhaled slowly, and said nothing more.
Once the various strange potions brought by the Apothecary had been sold out, the old man with the " Eye of Wisdom " announced the end of the gathering.
He arranged for Klein to leave fifth, through the secret passage in the basement.
It seems the " Eye of Wisdom " didn't recognize me either... Klein felt slightly relieved as he took off his hooded robe, tossed it to the servant, and walked out of the secret passage, skillfully circling around.
After confirming that there were no followers, he removed the iron mask, left the secluded street, and headed East Borough with the box containing the " Hurricane Axe " in his hand.
Black Palm Street in the East Borough has no gas streetlights nearby, and after dark it looks like Abyss.
In a one-bedroom apartment in one of the buildings, Klein sealed the room with Wall of Spirituality, then summoned himself, bringing the " Hurricane Axe " above the Gray Fog.
If it were any heavier, even with Mr. Azik's bronze whistle reinforcing my spirit, I wouldn't be able to carry it and would have to resort to a sacrificial ritual... Klein muttered, sending his thoughts to the illusory star corresponding to the " The Sun ":
"The 'world' has already sacrificed its weapons to me; you may now prepare the ritual to request their bestowal."
City of Silver.
Upon seeing the Gray Fog and hearing Mr. The Fool's instructions, Derrick Berg immediately sat up and busied himself with preparations.
Before the ceremony to request the gift, he silently took out his knight's straight sword and made a few vertical slashing motions to calm his anticipation.
"Will it be a straight sword, a broadsword, or a greatsword?" Derrick unconsciously stopped moving, unable to suppress the thought, and subconsciously sketched out what it would be like to wield that powerful weapon in his mind.
After a moment, during the ceremony, he saw the extraordinary weapon that belonged to him.
That was an axe.
