Chapter 3178 Contents
When Angel walked into the cubicle, he realized that Luigi had not followed him.
Looking back, he saw Luigi staring at the little hamster being tortured by Pilu Xiu with scrutiny in his eyes.
It wasn't until Angel called him that Luigi gave up observing the hamster and followed him in.
"Are you interested in that hamster?" Angel asked casually.
Luigi touched his chin: "I'm not interested, but I always feel that Piluxiu and hamster are a bit strange combination."
"Strange?" Angel asked doubtfully, "It's not strange for hamsters to appear anywhere, right?"
Luigi shook his head: "That's not what I meant. I think this combination looks a bit familiar. I seem to have heard someone talk about it somewhere before..."
Luigi thought for a moment, confirmed that he couldn't remember it, and then gave up.
"Forget it, I can't remember it." Luigi said: "I probably just overheard it when others were talking. This kind of memory is too complicated, and I am too lazy to look it up."
"Let's take a look at his things." Luigi turned to look at the treasure pointed by the man in black robes...
This compartment is very cramped, and the walls on both sides feel like they are pressing up. With the rolling gears outside, it looks even more cramped.
However, although the cubicle was small, it was not too crowded even with the four of them standing there. The reason is simple, there is nothing else in the compartment, just a wooden frame.
There are five black wooden boxes placed on the wooden shelf.
"Is this the 'baby' you call it?" Luigi frowned and said, "So few?"
The man in black robe chuckled: "Although there are only five boxes, there are a lot of things inside."
"Whatever you want, you can ask me first, and I'll get it for you." The man in black robe looked at Angel, obviously these words were specifically meant for Angel.
After a pause, the man in black robe looked at Luigi: "The guest just said that he wanted music scores with a religious nature, right? I really have a few here, I can show them to you."
The man in black robe took the first box and opened the lid. Inside was a thick layer of blood-red mist.
He stretched out his hand and reached into the mist, muttering "music score" while stirring the box. After a while, he took out two rolled pieces of parchment from the box.
After taking out the parchment, he wiped it lightly, and three-quarters of the parchment was obscured by the blood-red mist, leaving only a small part in the middle clearly visible.
This was obviously a precautionary measure on his part. After all, music scores can be memorized completely. Without some cover, giving it to Luigi would be like giving it away.
After Luigi took the music score, he signaled to Angel, then walked aside alone, took the music score and started reading.
The man in black robe turned to look at Angel: "Where is this guest? You can tell me what type of thing you want."
Angel: “Isn’t there a catalog?”
Man in black robe: "Yes, but the catalog is not complete. There are many things that I did not record in the catalog."
When the man in black robe spoke at the end, his voice became obviously lower, and his tone became ambiguous and seductive.
It seems to be hinting to Angel that he has a lot of good things here, even... contraband.
Angel could naturally hear the implication of the man in black robe. He was not interested in "good things", but he was curious that the man in black robe would regard him as a sales target.
The man in black robe seemed to be eager to sell him items. He had no reason to ask for anything. What does the man in black robe want?
Angel did not ask immediately, but just smiled and said: "I actually don't have anything I want, but since I'm here, let's take a look at the catalog first."
The man in black robe didn't say anything. He nodded and pointed to the five boxes on the shelf: "These five boxes contain knowledge, materials, utensils, sundries and rare objects respectively..."
Needless to say, knowledge, the music score the man in black robe took before was taken out of the box representing "knowledge". It is an intangible commodity, but its value is estimated to be the heaviest of the five boxes.
As for the boxes of materials and utensils, the contents inside are also as their names suggest.
Debris is something that is difficult to classify.
The man in black robe didn't explain the strange object. He just said to Angel mysteriously: "There are all good things in here that can't be seen outside."
“Which box of contents does the customer want to see?
Angel did not choose immediately, but first glanced at Laplace next to him. I want to see if Laplace is interested in these things. If he is interested, let Laplace pick them first.
Laplace thought for a moment, pointed to the box of "instruments" and said, "I want to see this."
appliance? Angel was a little surprised. He had guessed which box Laplace would look at, and the "Tools" box was the lowest-ranked one, because if Laplace wanted to buy any tools or weapons, he could definitely find him to refine them.
Angell guarantees a custom fit...even for free.
Could it be that Laplace couldn't trust his refining skills?
That's not right. After looking at the unbreakable mind mirror and the login device, Laplace shouldn't not believe in his level, right?
Or is Laplace's choice of "instruments" a hint? Hope he takes the initiative to ask her what she needs?
While Angel was silently interpreting it, Laplace seemed to be aware of Angel's thoughts and said calmly: "I don't have any need for anything, but I've come here, so let's take a look. As for why I chose 'instruments', I just think the appliance box is the last thing you want to look at compared to other boxes.”
After all, Angel is an alchemist, so he can make it himself if he needs it.
In Laplace's view, the box that Angel would least choose was the utensil box. Since Angel didn't choose it, she would just take a look at it and just pass the time.
Is this really the case? Angel muttered something in his mind, but instead of asking Laplace, he turned to look at the man in black robe.
"Then give her the catalog of the appliance box. As for me...then look at the catalog of other boxes."
The man in black robe didn't say anything. He turned around and tapped each box lightly, and a long catalog list quickly appeared on the lid.
The list representing the utensils was handed to Laplace, and the other lists were handed to Angel.
After Angel took over, the first thing he looked at was the list representing "knowledge".
See everything at a glance.
Half a minute later, Angel returned the knowledge list to the man in black robe.
"Are the guests dissatisfied?" The man in black robe said: "I have other knowledge-related content here, including many taboos..."
Angel interrupted the man in black robe and shook his head: "No need."
The man in black robe opened his mouth and said nothing more.
It's not that the content on the knowledge list doesn't interest him, but that a lot of the knowledge is too off-the-wall and outrageous. For example, "Talk about the Transformation of Polymerized Energy by the Bloodline of the Maid in the Mirror", the main title has already confused Angel, and the subtitle is even more confusing "—Guessing Direction".
What's going on? Can all guesswork-oriented knowledge be sold as subjects?
In addition, there are some ways to use polymerization energy... which are of little use to Angel.
Of course, not all knowledge is useless, such as "Techniques of Operation of Bloodline Power", "Magic Tree Text (Incomplete)", "Magic Patterns and Bloodline"... these all have a certain effect on Angel .
Among them, the one that attracted him the most was naturally the "Magic Tree Text (Incomplete)". The so-called "magic science" is a special discipline, similar to magic pattern science. There are many categories in this subject, including magic tree, super magic, magic technology, magic essay... and so on.
Magic is a very broad subject. It is a hidden science in the Southern Territory and few people have access to it, but it is very popular in the wizarding world in the Northern Territory.
Angel didn't know much about magic, so he was quite interested when he saw "The Magic Tree Text". But in the end he chose to give up, mainly because he knew very well the principle of biting off more than he could chew, and he still had a lot of knowledge waiting to be accumulated. If you try a new subject, you may not achieve anything, but it may be a waste of time.
The most important thing is that Angel knows a little about magic trees, which is a kind of knowledge related to "internal circulation magic plant cultivation".
What is "inner circulation"? To put it simply, it is cultivating the magic plant in the body. Not only can the magic plant mature quickly, but it can also gain some talent gains through the magic plant. Angel is naturally curious about this kind of technology, even greedy, but as "incomplete" knowledge, it will be difficult to use it if it is not fully learned, and it may even destroy his own internal circulation.
Therefore, Angel gave up.
After returning the knowledge list to the man in black robe, Angel looked at the materials list... a lot of materials, but nothing special.
There are also some unknown materials, but judging from the description characteristics, there are many replaceable lower-level materials and even higher-level materials, so there is no need to purchase them at all.
Therefore, Angel only looked at the list of materials for about five minutes before returning it to the man in black robe.
Although there was nothing that Angel particularly wanted in the materials list and knowledge list, he found an interesting place. Although there are many different categories of knowledge and materials in these two lists, the most frequently occurring words in both lists are the same.
——Bloodline.
The man in black robe seems to be very knowledgeable about bloodlines. Could he be a bloodline wizard?
If he is a blood wizard, then he is a human being?
Precisely because he is a human wizard, he said: Even if he pays with magic crystal, is it okay?
Angel didn't know if his guess was correct, but if it was true, it would be such a coincidence... After he came to Crystal City, the two humans he met were both blood wizards.
Yes, the pony-tailed man who called himself Rice God before was also a blood wizard.
Although Rice God blocked the blood aura at first, when he finally handed the badge to Angel, the blood fluctuations were too obvious, pure and powerful, and he was either a blood wizard or a pure-blood wizard.
As for this man in black robe, there is no energy fluctuation flowing out yet, so there is no way to judge.
Putting aside his complicated thoughts, Angel picked up the remaining two catalog lists - sundries and strange objects.
Angel looked at the sundries list and found that there were indeed some items that were difficult to classify. The most important of them are two categories: "semi-finished products" and "unidentified unknown items".
Semi-finished products, which are similar to alchemy tools, have no value to Angel.
On the other hand, Angel was quite interested in those "unidentified unknown items".
An unknown item is like a blind box, no one knows whether it is good or bad.
Angel's interest was naturally not because he wanted to "bet on luck", but... he had foreign aid.
Whether it's Laplace or the big guys in the Wilderness of Dreams, maybe they can recognize some good things and let him pick them up?
However, the list only provides general information about these unknown items. If you want to confirm further, you need to see the actual items.
Therefore, Angel decided to put this list of miscellaneous items aside for now.
When the black-robed man saw that Angel did not return the list of sundries, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. Angel had returned all the previous lists, expressing his disinterest, which made him wonder if his products were too cheap.
Now that he saw that Angel had left the list of sundries, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to have what he wanted... If he wanted it, there was a possibility of negotiating terms.
On the other side, Angel picked up the last list of odd items.
When the black-robed man mentioned the list of odd items before, his words were vague, but his emotions contained "confidence", as if he was very sure of the things on the list of odd items.
This also made Angel very curious. What exactly is the so-called "odd item" that can give the black-robed man such great confidence?
With doubts, Angel looked at this list of odd items, which was also the shortest one.
The entire list was no bigger than an ordinary book page.
There were only four pieces of information on it.
When Angel saw the first piece of information, he was stunned.
"Unknown smooth arm... mysterious... mysterious thing?!"
What is recorded on the odd item is a mysterious thing? The black-robed man has a mysterious item for sale? !
Angel was shocked and couldn't help looking up at the black-robed man. Although it was not the first time he saw a mysterious item for sale, he thought that mysterious items were basically auctioned at large auctions, or one or two items would occasionally flow out at high-end gatherings, rather than in this kind of small shop that didn't look very formal.
Angel's look of surprise also attracted Laplace's attention.
She looked over in confusion: "What's going on?"
Angel didn't say anything and pointed to the first message on the parchment.
Laplace frowned after taking a look: "Are there mysterious things for sale here?"
Angel: "I'm curious too."
They looked at the black-robed man opposite, and the black-robed man was silent for a moment: "You may have misunderstood, I don't have any mysterious things to sell. What I sell is the information about the mysterious things, including their suspected haunting places."
"I know the information about two mysterious things. In addition to the 'unknown smooth arm', there is another one..."
Angel picked up the list and continued to read it, and found that the next one was indeed a mysterious thing, and...Angel was not unfamiliar with this mysterious thing.
-Growth ray.
Growth ray, the wizards in the southern region may not know, but in the source world, this mysterious thing... No, it is more like a mysterious phenomenon than a mysterious thing.
People who have been irradiated by the mysterious phenomenon of growth ray will grow random organs in their bodies.
And according to rumors, Gruzdeward rose rapidly because of the growth ray. It is said that he grew an extraordinary organ.
Therefore, many people flock to the Growth Ray.
But not everyone is as lucky as Gruzdewald. More people died under the Growth Ray, including many famous legendary wizards.
Therefore, the Growth Ray is definitely not a "lucky wheel".
Angel knew about the Growth Ray because Kuroli had recorded it in his notes.
Kuroli even clearly pointed out the location of the Growth Ray - it would appear over Liuye Changdao from time to time.
Angel was very sure that the Growth Ray had not been obtained by anyone, so the black-robed man wrote the Growth Ray on the list and clearly stated that he was selling information about the mysterious object.
Angel believed it.
However, the information about the mysterious object sounds tempting, but it is actually just like that. No one knows whether this mysterious object is out of order and whether it will lead to irreversible consequences.
What's more, information like the Growth Ray is no secret in the Source World.
Angel sighed, with some disappointment in his eyes: If it is just information, then it is meaningless.
Ingres shook his head and continued reading.
