Finally... at the moment the deal was struck, Klein quietly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a significant reduction in the pressure on his shoulders.
Although the messenger said the ten thousand Loen coins could be repaid in installments without specifying when, Klein still didn't want to drag it out too long, fearing he might anger Reinette Tinekerr.
This is Demigod- level Spirit World creature. If she gets really angry, even with the contract in place, she has plenty of ways to make things difficult for her "employer"!
Moreover, the expenses of Acting the role of a wealthy man are simply too great. The salaries and related costs of twenty or so servants are only a small part of it. The subsequent expenses for carriages, horses, wine, gifts for neighbors, ball expenses, and investments to conceal one's identity are all increasingly costly. If I don't have a lot of cash reserves, I'm really afraid that I'll go bankrupt and be unable to continue...
Sigh, £6,500 plus the money I already had should be enough to last until I set my goal, right? No, the experience of the past two days has taught me never to imagine the life of a millionaire based on my own limited knowledge. I'll probably need another five or six thousand pounds to barely make ends meet... Klein really wanted to rub his temples, but he ultimately resisted the urge.
He composed himself, let the "world" take one last look, and laughed hoarsely:
"The second item is a ' Biotoxin Bottle '..."
He described the manifested brown, translucent glass vial in relatively concise language, focusing on the characteristics of several toxins, their effective time, preventative measures, and the negative effects of carrying them on one's person.
" Justice " Audrey felt a chill run down her spine and a slight embarrassment. The former was due to the terrifying toxin that could make people tear off their own skin and flesh, and the latter was due to the strange aphrodisiac effect that spread over a wide area.
This is truly a crazy magical item... Hmm, it's the kind that requires advance preparation to function effectively. It's quite suitable for ordinary " Spectator " because observation and Mind Reading can help Low-Sequence Beyonder on this path detect danger in advance and take countermeasures... But I don't need to do that. If I detect danger in advance, I can directly call for my Protector... And, and the effect isn't what I like! It could easily harm myself! 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 about the price.
Seeing that Miss Justice didn't speak, Klein couldn't help but have "The World" add a sentence:
"5200 pounds."
" Justice," Audrey said, gently biting the inside of her lower lip and politely shaking her head.
"I'm hoping to get a more aggressive magical item."
" The Spectator " is also a path that lacks direct offensive power in the early stages, but is only good at influencing and controlling the target.
"5200 pounds. The Hanged Man Alger," " The Magician " Fors, and " The Moon " Emlyn repeated the price in unison, without a single other thought.
"5200 pounds..." The Hermit Cattleya, paused noticeably as if remembering something, then quickly added, "For me, it's unnecessary."
The " The Hermit " lady seemed afraid of something... " Justice " Audrey keenly sensed her emotions.
In that instant, Cattleya initially thought that the " Biotoxin Bottle " and " Toxin Expert " Frank Lee were a good match, and their abilities didn't overlap too much, but rather complemented each other. She considered whether to buy it for her first mate, since he had saved up quite a bit of money anyway Frank Lee might conduct after obtaining the " Biotoxin Bottle," and a chill ran down her spine. She then abandoned her initial idea.
She didn't want to see the crew's children growing on the deck of the Future, especially the mooing kind.
After the party, he wrote to Miss Sharron to tell her that the " Admiral of Blood's" necklace had been sold, and only the " Biotoxin Bottle " remained... Klein concealed his disappointment, thought for a moment, and then had "The World" speak:
"I have a book called ' The Book of Secrets,' a mystical book left behind by the ' Warlock King ' Calamity of the Southern Continent. It is suitable for Mid-Sequence Beyonder with a good foundation."
"Price: £1000."
Knowledge is money!
After being educated for a long time by Mr. The Fool, Mr. The Hanged Man, and the other members of the Psychology Alchemists, " Justice " Audrey was immediately moved.
She already possesses a very solid foundation in occult knowledge and is eager to learn more advanced topics.
The Psychology Alchemists probably teach me some advanced occult knowledge later, but it certainly won't be comprehensive, limited to the realm of the mind... Audrey convinced herself simply, nodding slightly.
"That's exactly what I wanted."
" The Magician " Fors was also very interested, but after thinking about the money he had, he silently shut his mouth. As for the other members, they were not lacking in similar knowledge.
As expected of "Miss Justice," she didn't haggle at all. My bottom line is actually only 800 pounds, no, there's no bottom line at all. Knowledge isn't something you can only sell once... Klein chuckled happily as "The World" whispered:
"Make a deal.
"However, I must warn you, never pray to the ' The Moon Primordial,' or you will turn into a writhing mass of flesh that mates wildly with different species and gives birth to all sorts of children. Of course, you also shouldn't pray to other Hidden Existence, as that is equally dangerous."
" Justice " Audrey was frightened upon hearing this and couldn't help but change her sitting posture.
She quickly regained her composure, looked at the head of the long bronze table, and said firmly:
"During the secret rituals, I only pray to Mr. ' The Fool '."
She spoke sincerely, without a trace of falsehood.
Miss Justice really admires and believes in the Fool... Klein was inexplicably moved, but also a little ashamed, because the domain of the Sea God Scepter and the Moon Primordial did not overlap much. For some rituals, he could not complete the most effective response and could only try to mobilize a little power from this mysterious space above the Gray Fog to give back.
Then, as the " The Fool," he expressed the following attitude:
"Very good."
Meanwhile, having initially achieved his goal, he casually remarked to "the world":
"I also have a ' Interrogator ' Beyonder Characteristic here, only £1200."
... Just how many items did he have...? Even the " Magician " Fors was stunned.
Considering that Hugh was still short of money and lacked the corresponding formula, she could only look away and pretend she hadn't heard.
As for the Beyonder Characteristic of the " Interrogator " under Mr. The Fool's subordinates, she didn't think they would keep them for her for so long.
Seeing no response, "World" coughed and said:
I have no more deals.
As soon as he finished speaking, Alger, the " The Hanged Man " who had been waiting, looked at Cattleya, the " The Hermit," and said:
"I want to know where the Obninsk Sea Monster, which doesn't belong to the Church of Storms, exists."
" The Obninsk Sea Monster isn't a member of the Church of Storms?" " The Hanged Man really isn't a member of the Church of Storms?" The Hermit, Cattleya, frowned slightly, then relaxed.
"Let me find out for you. We'll discuss the price once I have concrete leads."
"Okay." Alger sighed silently.
The scene fell silent for a few seconds. Seeing this, " The Moon " Emlyn said to " The Magician " Fors:
"I'll give you the £100 tip fee today."
"Thank you, Magician," Fors said, her mood not very high.
The transactions Mr. "World" had just made were in the thousands or tens of thousands of pounds, which had made her a little numb.
" The Moon " Emlyn immediately turned to look at " The Sun " Derrick:
"I have the Elder Tree root crystals and auxiliary materials you requested."
"Give me a list of the Monster and resources around City of Silver, and I'll pick a few items of comparable value."
"Well, they cost me £2,000 in total, plus my £200 payment, making it £2,200 in total."
Emlyn just wanted to trade for something he could sell quickly, otherwise he wouldn't have much money left.
"Okay, uh, thank you, Mr. ' The Moon '. The Sun." Derrick was secretly pleased, suddenly feeling that Mr. " The Moon " wasn't so unpleasant after all.
He quickly conjured up the corresponding list and handed it to " The Moon " Emlyn.
Emlyn casually flipped through the papers, and as he looked at them, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
This document alone is of great value, as it provides detailed information about the area surrounding City of Silver and its corresponding resources!
I remember they also looked at this list without being paid... " The Moon " Emlyn couldn't help but glance at " The Hanged Man " Alger and " The Hermit " Cattleya.
In that instant, he seemed to understand something.
Looking at the " The Sun " again, Emlyn felt a renewed sense of superiority, yet also an inescapable unease. He cleared his throat and said:
"This, this, and this..."
" The Sun " Derrick carefully noted it down, indicating that he didn't need to return to City of Silver; he could gather the items around Afternoon Town.
Next, " Justice " Audrey inquired about clues regarding the fruit of the Hallucinatory Wind Chime Tree, only to receive a disappointing answer.
The transaction was now complete; without the need for " The Fool " Klein to announce it, they voluntarily entered into a free exchange session.
Alger, the " The Hanged Man," turned to the little " The Sun " and said:
"Are you still in Afternoon Town?"
"Yes, but we're about to return to City of Silver. The new exploration team arrived today. The Sun." Derrick not only answered Mr. The Hanged Man's question seriously but also proactively mentioned, "I've already told the Chief that I obtained the Notary's Potion recipe during the process of clearing out the Monster in Afternoon Town."
The " The Hanged Man " nodded slightly and said:
What was his attitude?
"He only said 'Very good Derrick the Sun the situation carefully.
Upon hearing this, Alger, the " The Hanged Man," chuckled softly and said:
"You can rest assured for now. Your 'Chief' is very pleased to see you grow like this. In comparison, he will be much more wary of that ' Shepherd ' Elder."
He didn't continue the topic, but instead delivered a message to all members:
"Recently, many pirates have visited Bansy Harbor and found it to be completely destroyed. Even if it is rebuilt, it will take several years."
