Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 89 Clues

Not long after Klein and the others had lunch, the detective who asked for leave returned to Green Park Street, which meant that the commission he accepted came to an end.

Because Yatru's situation has improved significantly, Logo Carloman was quite generous when settling his remuneration, with a full 50% premium on the basis of 10 pounds.

"As expected of a jeweler, he is really generous. However, compared to other people in the West District and Queens District, he is not that rich. Green Park Street is close to the suburbs, and even not far from the cemetery. I ran ten times with all my strength. It can be arrived in minutes... Er, Miss Bodyguard, no, Miss Sharron, there is a high probability that she is a Sequence 5 powerhouse, and the charging standard is 1,000 pounds for three days, while I, as a Sequence 7 Extraordinary, only fifteen pounds a day, The gap is still a bit big..."

"Of course, if I can have such tasks every day, my annual income will exceed 5,400 pounds, which belongs to the top of the middle class. The first manager of Backlund Bank is only 5,000 pounds a year... Hehe, this is just a pure fantasy. For most detectives, it’s really a week without opening, and a week of opening... and the extraordinary materials I need to advance to Sequence 6 definitely add up to more than 3,000 pounds. It’s a headache to think about it. For ordinary people, this is A huge amount of wealth, a huge amount of wealth that can maintain a good life for a lifetime!"

"The good news is that even if I master the acting method, it will take six months to three years to digest the potion of Sequence 7. Even if I can quickly sum up the rules of the 'magician', it will be at most one or two ahead of the minimum. Month, I still have enough time to save money and collect clues for materials..."

"Wait, it seems that Miss Justice still owes me, uh, my beloved 5,000 pounds..."

"However, her recent financial situation is not very good, and it will be difficult to spend such a large amount of money within a few months..."

Klein took the three 5-pound banknotes and left the West Borough with very scattered thoughts.

After returning to Minsk Street, he quickly burned the used paper figurines and made up two more.

In the evening, he took the steam subway to the Backlund Bridge area, and knocked on the door of the party house according to the number provided in the newspaper.

Like the previous few times, he put on the iron mask that could only cover the upper half of his face, put on a black robe with a hood, and was led by the waiter into the living room where only one candle was burning quietly .

At a glance, Klein found that the number of Extraordinary people in this gathering was nearly half that of the previous ones.

I came here on time, are the others late? Klein didn't change his walking posture and habitual movements this time. He chose a corner position and sat down slowly.

After a few minutes,

The old man "Eye of Wisdom" cleared his throat and said:

"Let's start the party, the others probably won't come."

Having said that, he briefly explained two sentences:

"Because the serial murder case has never been able to find the murderer, the Nighthawks, Punisher, Mechanical Heart and most of the Extraordinary from MI9 have been sent out, and they are doing a large-scale investigation and search."

"In this situation, it is normal and understandable for those friends to be unwilling to go out or participate in gatherings."

"Frankly speaking, there are more people here today than I thought."

Sure enough, the circle of Extraordinary people is not isolated, and will also be affected by current events... Klein looked around and saw that the chubby pharmacist was not absent, and he immediately relaxed a lot.

The pharmacist pushed the iron mask on his face, and shouted hopelessly:

"I want to buy the medullary crystal of the spring of elves, the price can be negotiated."

"I have." Klein said without hesitation.

He was worried that others would also find this Extraordinary material, thus making his goods backlog.

——Although Extraordinary materials are scarce, and duplication rarely occurs in a single circle, this kind of thing is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

"I want to buy the marrow crystals of the fountain of elves..." The pharmacist didn't seem to hear anyone responding.

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly froze, turned his head to look at Klein suddenly, blurted out and asked with fiery eyes:

"You have?"

"Yes." Klein couldn't bear the other's fiery gaze.

While answering in the affirmative, he rolled up his black robe and took out an iron cigarette case.

Snapped! Klein opened the cigarette case, revealing the faded egg-like marrow crystals of the Fairy Spring inside.

"If you're worried, you can ask the old Mister 'Eye of Wisdom' to make an appraisal." Klein added in a deep voice.

This is actually not very necessary, because it is clear at a glance whether it is a Beyonder material, and after getting it, it can be quickly discovered whether it is contaminated or not.

However, if the knowledge of mysticism is not rich enough, Extraordinary people can easily mix similar materials together. In this case, identification is required.

The pharmacist looked obsessively at the extraordinary material in Klein's hands as if looking at a beautiful girl who had been coveting for a long time, and shook his head after a few seconds:

"No, no need!"

"that's it!"

"that's it!"

Klein curled his lips slightly, and offered the price:

"300 pounds, and clues to the pharmacist's formula."

"The clue to the pharmacist's formula...it's you!" The pharmacist froze for a moment, and finally understood who the person opposite was.

It's the guy who made him run away with a tranquilizer!

Immediately, he was extremely distressed and regretted to the extreme and sighed:

"You are really lucky!"

"Why didn't I choose that lucky path..."

After all, I am the king of yellow and black who is in charge of good luck... Klein complained to himself.

The pharmacist sighed for a while, changed his sitting posture and said:

"It's too expensive, 200 pounds plus a clue to the recipe."

"The clue to the recipe is just incidental, because I can't confirm its authenticity, so 300 pounds, not a single penny, I think there should be people who need it elsewhere." Klein smiled and said, "This price is actually very expensive. To be fair, someone else might offer 400 or even 500 pounds, and you might accept it."

"I won't be that stupid, I can still wait..." the pharmacist muttered, "The clues can be identified by the old man, uh, Mr. 'Eye of Wisdom'."

"I can only identify things that exist objectively and with detailed details. Simple clues are not included in this category." The old man "Eye of Wisdom" reminded him.

And divination can roughly determine whether the clue is valid, without involving power two or three levels higher than itself... Klein murmured silently to himself.

However, he would not reveal his good at divination at the Extraordinary party.

"Okay... 300 pounds plus clues, you earned it!" The pharmacist took a breath, took out a thick stack of cash, counted out the corresponding amount, then asked the waiter to fetch a pen and paper, and buried himself in writing.

After brushing and brushing, he finished the clues, crumpled the paper into a mess, and handed it to the waiter along with the cash and a few other items.

When the waiter came over, Klein took a look and was suddenly a little dazed.

Because in addition to the cash and clues, there are four extra glass tubes containing a seemingly pure liquid.

"What is this?" Klein asked suspiciously.

"Have you forgotten? The sedative you asked for, my special sedative, costs 10 soli each, and 2 pounds for four, so the cash is 298 pounds." The pharmacist replied, "If you are worried about my sedative, you can Apply for certification."

I really forgot... I did it all to win Miss Sharon's trust, and now that she's not here, well, it's okay, the standing sedative may be able to deal with some unexpected situations... Klein stopped talking, shaking out the spirit of the elf Quan's marrow crystallized, took those things, counted the cash in front of everyone, and distinguished the authenticity by the faint candlelight.

A total of 298 pounds... That's right... Seeing that the wallet could no longer hold any more cash, Klein had no choice but to roll up the banknotes and stuff them into his pocket.

After putting away the sedative, he unfolded the note and glanced at the clue:

"South of the Bridge, Rose Street, Harvest Church, find Bishop Utravsky. As long as you can help him complete a task, it is possible to get the pharmacist's formula."

Harvest Church, this is one of the few churches of the Church of the Mother Earth in the Kingdom, and this church has mastered the two extraordinary paths of "cultivator" and "pharmacist"... The clues are very consistent... Klein refolded it thoughtfully note.

As the party progressed, the female Extraordinary with the "craftsman" behind her didn't know whether she didn't come to participate, or she didn't get a new extraordinary weapon. Pound cash, you can think about equipment.

After many failed transactions, a man sitting on a high stool said in a low voice:

"A friend of mine was unfortunately discovered during this investigation, and was imprisoned underground in a church of storms by the punishers. I would like to ask a few helpers to rescue him together."

The old man "Eye of Wisdom" responded immediately:

"'Wild Dog', give up this plan! The punishment and sealed artifacts of a church of storms are enough to destroy all of us here."

"Your friend's fate is already doomed, don't let yourself fall into the same desperate situation."

"Wild Dog" looked around and found that no one responded to him, so he couldn't help but beat his thigh heavily, and growled:

"But what did he do wrong?"

"He is an excellent physician, he has saved many patients, and he has never hurt anyone! Just because he took the magic potion and became an Extraordinary, he will be imprisoned in a place where he will never see the sun, and even be a substitute experimental product?"

"why?"

"why……"

"Wild Dog"'s painful and desperate questioning echoed in the room, and even the pharmacist, who had always been unable to control his mouth, remained silent.

Hey... Klein, the former official Beyonder, could only heave a long sigh in his heart.

Without announcing the "acting method", wild Beyonders are time bombs...

But if the "acting method" is popularized, the situation may become even more chaotic and bloody... After all, Extraordinary characteristics are immortal and conserved...

In this depressing atmosphere, the party came to an end, and Klein, who had nothing else to gain, spoke again:

"Who has pistol bullets with different extraordinary effects?"

"For example, purification effect, demon hunting effect, etc., etc."

He didn't ask for the specific caliber of the bullets, because he doesn't have a gun now, so he can prepare them after he buys the bullets.

In the silence, a female Extraordinary who was also sitting in the corner responded in a low voice:

"I can ask you a question for you, and I will give you the answer at the next meeting."

It seems to be the lady with the "craftsman" behind her... Klein exhaled and said:

"OK."

When the party was over, he did not return directly to Minsk Street, but went to the East District, changed his outfit, and headed to the junction of the North District and Hillston District.

That was the place where Copusty Reid, a suspected member of the Spiritual Cult, rented.
