Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 44 "Two-Eighty-One"

...A godlike reason... Hearing the pharmacist's answer, Klein, who is a "clown", couldn't control the changes in his expression. Fortunately, he still had an iron mask on his face.

The pharmacist didn't pay attention to the reactions of Klein and the "Eye of Wisdom" old man, and spread out on his own:

"So, I like Backlund very much. There are many street girls here. They haunt concert halls and theaters, and wait in the streets and alleys. Some of them are professional and some are part-time. Different flavors, it is said that in some places in the West District, there will occasionally be bankrupt noble ladies, which is really exciting."

"..." Klein pushed the iron mask covering the upper half of his face, and quickly changed the subject, "Does your teacher have any objections to your choice?"

The pharmacist shook his head slightly and said:

"No, he just kicked me out of the door after teaching herbal medicine and let me travel the mainland to experience life. Damn it, he didn't even tell me where to find the follow-up potion materials!"

Having said that, the pharmacist looked at Klein and added:

"If you know where the marrow crystal of 'Fountain of Spirits' is, please tell me, and I will pay you. Of course, you can also buy it first and sell it to me at a higher price. You are a lucky guy. Maybe it can help me fulfill my wish."

"Okay." Klein agreed casually, and asked thoughtfully, "When the time comes, can I exchange it for the potion formula of 'Apothecary'?"

In his opinion, "pharmacist" is a very useful auxiliary profession, which can be used to train helpers.

The pharmacist who is not too fat but rather round quickly shook his head and said:

"no!"

"I can only teach my students.

"

Is this the rule of life school? Maybe even swore an oath with a certain hidden existence as witness... Klein thought without surprise.

At this moment, the pharmacist let out a hey:

"But I can tell you where to get the pharmacist's formula, it's in Backlund."

"Very good." Klein was pleasantly surprised by this.

Finding that the old man "Eye of Wisdom" was going to see off the guests again, he hurriedly asked again:

"Mr. Pharmacist, do you have any potions for treating insanity and other problems?"

Klein performed this for Miss Bodyguard, which made her even more certain that he was slightly influenced by the "True Creator" and turned into a potential lunatic, trying to seek treatment.

"Yes, sedative, 10 soli a piece, I'll bring you 4 for the next meeting, believe me, this is definitely much more useful than the one in the hospital, I added some spiritual ingredients." The pharmacist replied without hesitation.

It's really expensive... In the underground trading market in Tingen, the sedatives from the hospital cost 1 to 2 soli per unit, and the varieties from the Nighthawks team, Punisher team, and Mechanical Heart team cost 4 to 5 soli. One from Sule... As thoughts flickered, Klein looked at the "Eye of Wisdom" and said:

"My dear sir, can I attend the next meeting?"

"Yes, your performance these two times proves your goodwill, young man, pay attention to the "Becklund Morning Post" every day, when the fifth page shows the advertisement of the purchase of goods by Ernst & Co. There is a party here, the severity and interval of knocking are based on the quotation, the first number is the number of heavy times, the second is light, the third is long intervals, the fourth is short intervals, and the following It doesn't make sense." The old man "Eye of Wisdom" nodded.

After describing the information, he sighed and said:

"Extraordinary people who do not belong to the official and have no organization are not living as well as you imagined. On the one hand, they must hide secrets, avoid the official, and maintain a state of caution and caution at all times. On the other hand, they must fight against loss of control and madness. Too many of our kind have died of those two things."

"Even if we successfully escaped the attention of the authorities and escaped out of control and madness, we will still fall into the predicament of lack of materials, items we want, and insufficient knowledge at any time. I organize this kind of gathering to let everyone interact help."

"It's a pity that now belongs to the era of mysterious scarcity, and many extraordinary materials rarely appear again."

Yes, but I have Mr. "The Hanged Man" who knows the coordinates of some original islands, and the "Sun" classmate of the City of Silver who sometimes fights against various monsters in the dark depths. I can rely on them for some extraordinary materials... Klein politely He half stood up, and bowed to the old gentleman "Eye of Wisdom":

"Your character is admirable."

After sitting down again, Klein suddenly remembered something, and asked after deliberation:

"Two gentlemen, do you have any magical items? Just like the one sold to me by 'Black Snake', but don't have too serious or negative problems. I want to have a little self-protection ability."

What he intends to do is to find something of interest first, figure out the price, and then target accordingly.

Although I don't have any money now, it doesn't mean I won't have any in the future... Can I not ask the price if I don't have money? Klein silently added something in his heart.

The pharmacist spread his hands, indicating that he did not have it or would not sell it if he had it, and the old man "Eye of Wisdom" laughed and said:

"I do have some, but I don't know what you want to buy? Give me a general range."

There are some... He is probably an extraordinary person who relies on the "general knowledge" path of external objects... Klein said without hiding his envy:

"It's better to be stronger than myself, not to improve the level of fighting. It's better to have magical abilities."

He didn't go into too much detail, in order to maintain his image as a beginner.

"Eye of Wisdom" smiled and said:

"I have an item that is very suitable for your request. It used to be code-named '2-081'."

"2-081?" Klein asked in confusion.

His doubts were just a disguise on the surface, and he was more shocked in his heart.

Is this a sealed item from the Church of the Goddess, from behind the Chanis Gate? Klein did not expect to meet a familiar digital code name here.

"Eye of Wisdom" casually explained a few words:

"Many magical items have obvious hidden dangers and will cause certain harm. Therefore, the churches of the seven orthodox gods are collecting and sealing them, calling them 'sealed items', and distinguishing them with numerical codes."

"After lengthy disputes and exchanges, the Church of the Seven Gods has formed a unified nomenclature, using '0', '1', '2', and '3' to identify different danger levels, among which '0' is the most dangerous, It is said to be some terrible items that can destroy the country and even the world."

"The churches of the seven orthodox gods will inform each other on the '0' and '1' sealed items, telling each other what they own, so the '0' and '1' codes will not be repeated,' Level 2 and Level 3 are ranked separately, and different churches may have the same code."

Klein already knew the general situation inside the Nighthawks, but he was very puzzled by one of the questions:

"Notify each other of the code names of their '0' and '1' street sealed items?"

Isn't this a leak? Let other churches know how many cards they have!

Of course, this can also be seen as a strategic deterrent to avoid direct conflicts between the Churches of the Seven Gods... Klein was thinking about possible reasons.

"Yes, although I can't understand the reason for doing this, it did happen. It is said that it was an agreement reached by the seven churches at the end of the fourth era and the beginning of the fifth era." The old man "Eye of Wisdom" spoke neither fast nor slow Said calmly, "My '2-081' comes from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, it can let you know a lot, know a lot, even if the enemy's extraordinary ability, you can quickly identify the specific situation, understand the strengths and weaknesses, and It is possible to imitate to a certain extent, the stronger the opponent, the higher the possibility of failure, of course, even if it succeeds, there must be a big gap with the original version.”

Sounds strong... proof that knowledge equals power? In the end, will there be a situation where omniscience equals omnipotence? Hmm... I take back my previous judgment. The old man "Eye of Wisdom" may not be an "appraiser". His identification of objects may rely on the sealed item "2-081"... Klein was speechless secretly, quite interested asked:

"So, what am I going to pay for it?"

"What's wrong with it?"

"It will keep your brain running at high speed all the time. Once the time limit is exceeded, you will become an idiot." The "Eye of Wisdom" replied simply, and the description was not detailed enough.

At this time, the pharmacist next to him muttered:

"Maybe your head has been broken, always talking about your collection, sooner or later someone will rob you and kill you!"

Sir, your persuasive words are always not so pleasant... Klein couldn't help but slander.

The "Eye of Wisdom" laughed and said:

"How do you know I didn't say it on purpose, waiting for greedy people to do it?"

"Well, it's just like the fishing law enforcement that Emperor Roselle once described."

After the laughter stopped, he patted the armrest of the sofa and sighed: "As a collector, it is very painful not to be able to show off the collection to others."

He then looked at Klein:

"I'm sorry, but I won't sell '2-081'. It is my best collection. I bought it for 6,800 pounds. Sealed items of this level range from 4,000 to 20,000 pounds, depending on the specific function. It depends on the hidden dangers, but most of the time, money can’t buy it.”

Then what are you talking about... Klein controlled the twitching of the corner of his mouth.

The old man "Eye of Wisdom" seemed to be aware of his reaction, he laughed and said:

"What I really want to recommend are two items. One is a brooch, which allows you to gain exorcism, purification, and the ability to use some sun domain spells. The disadvantage is that as long as you wear it, you will never feel the coolness , always in the hot summer in the south, one piece is a shape-changing hat, wearing it, you can move freely underwater, at least half an hour, and use some spell-like spells in the domain of water and wind, the flaw is, You will thirst for water, and once you walk on the earth, you will grow weaker and weaker."

"The price of similar items is between 1,500 pounds and 3,500 pounds. Similarly, sometimes, even if you double the price, you may not be able to buy them, because they rarely appear. I have used them for more than 30 years. Collected a few."

Klein nodded slightly:

"I'll think about it and make a decision at a later party."

Speaking of this, he smiled deliberately:

"And I don't have that much money right now."

ps: There is an early update in the early morning.
