Chapter 69 Amulet
Glancing over, Klein saw the person who asked about bovine peony.
The other party was less than 1 meter away from him, wearing a black formal suit, wearing a half-top hat of the same color, holding a silver cane in his palm, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses on his face, his temperament was quite gentle.
"Yes, do you need it? This small can of 3 soli." The stall owner was wearing a dark robe with a characteristic of mysticism.
The temples were pale yellow, and the inquirer with glasses thought about it and said:
"Can it be cheaper? I have to buy other materials, such as this bottle of white-rimmed sunflower petals."
The stall owner thought for a few seconds and reluctantly replied:
"2 soli and sixpence, I don't think you'll find anything cheaper than that."
Seeing that the man with the gold-rimmed glasses bought not only bovine peony, but also white-rimmed sunflowers and other materials, Klein suddenly felt like he was thinking too much.
However, he cautiously tapped the center of his forehead twice and scanned the other person with his spiritual vision.
No problem, I'm in good health and my mood is not bad, sir, you have to keep it up... Klein looked back, turned his body, and looked again at the stall selling homemade amulets.
In his pupils, the amulets are clearly presented, some are sterling silver, some are made of iron, and some are made of gold.
But among these amulets, only two or three have a faint aura color, or crimson, or pale white, or golden.
This shows that they have initially possessed spirituality, which shows that these amulets have a certain effect!
Just now, Klein looked very carefully, confirming that the stall owner of the homemade amulet has a certain knowledge of mysticism:
There is nothing wrong with the different power sources he selected for different spells, and the corresponding materials determined for different power sources are even more correct.
Of course, pure mysticism lovers must have some omissions. Klein found that the stall owner did not know much about the spell itself. It doesn't mean that the content of the prayer can be regarded as a spell by translating the content of the prayer according to the grammar of Hermes language. , the incantation must conform to a certain format, with unique rules included.
Another problem is that when the stall owner chooses the appropriate symbol for the incantation and the "source of power", there are also different degrees of error, so that only two or three of the dozens of amulets are completely correct, emitting a "shimmer" .
As for the effect of these two or three items, Klein can only say that something is better than nothing.
A truly effective amulet requires the maker to let his own spirituality spurt out from the tip of the knife in the process of carving incantations and symbols!
If you want better results, you must use ritual magic to assist.
And these two things are almost impossible for Extraordinary people to do.
Klein thoughtfully tapped the center of his forehead, and tapped the upper left corner of the stall with a black cane twice, saying:
"How much are these two?"
What he asked about was not the amulets that initially had aura colors, but the semi-finished products, which only had their shapes, and had not yet engraved incantations and symbols.
For Klein, there is absolutely no need to buy the ones with weak effects. It is his purpose to make half-finished products into real amulets.
Well, make Benson and Melissa a talisman to avoid disaster... My own can use the materials provided by the Nighthawks team... Hey, did I get spoiled by old Neil? I think this kind of thing has already happened. There is no sense of guilt anymore... Klein watched the stall owner pick up the two half-finished silver talismans with scattered thoughts.
One of the two silver talismans is in the shape of a long strip with a hollow in the middle, surrounded by angelic feathers. The carvings are fine and very beautiful. A "vertical" in the night is inlaid with a "circle" representing crimson.
As an appearance party, Klein can be said to have taken a fancy to them at a glance.
"This 6 soules." The stall owner was a taciturn middle-aged man, and he pointed to the more delicate one.
After a pause, he rubbed the simple one:
"This is 5 soli and 3 pence."
"It's too expensive. In fact, they are still a long way from amulets." Klein was nurtured by Benson and Melissa on a daily basis and began to get used to bargaining.
After a battle of words, he bought the two pieces of silver jewelry for 5 soli 6p and 4 soli 9p respectively.
Well, for the time being, it can only be considered silver jewelry... Klein thought so.
And the 10 soli and 3 pence were deducted from the divination club funds (£5) he finally received.
Just when Klein took the two pieces of silver jewelry, put them in his pocket, and was about to go to another booth, he suddenly heard a soft and green voice:
"Sir, why don't you buy the finished amulet?"
Klein turned his head and found that the inquirer was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. She was wearing a bright yellow dress with a lot of lace, and she was holding a gauze hat with ribbons in her hand.
"Because I plan to make my own amulet, you know, this is the wish of every occultist lover." Klein replied politely.
He didn't want the stall owner to think that he was trying to grab business, although he also considered whether to rely on this "craftsmanship" to make some extra money in the future.
The girl had long natural curly brown hair, and the baby fat on her face was quite cute. She looked at Klein with light blue eyes and asked sincerely:
"Can I ask you how to choose an amulet? Well, I was brought here by a friend, I've been here a few times, I'm very interested in the occult, but I don't know enough about it, well, she, my friend will come again She will be sixteen years old in a while, I want to choose an amulet for her, because I hope it is a surprise, so I didn't ask her to come with her... I asked her for advice in advance, but I can't recall many key points. "
Klein said with a gentle smile:
"Then what kind of amulet do you want to choose? Avoid disaster? Stay away from disease? Have money and luck? Different requirements correspond to different sources of power, that is, different gods, and different gods correspond to different stars, different The stars correspond to different materials."
"For example, the incantation to avoid calamity must belong to the queen of calamity and fear, that is, the goddess of the night. As mysticism lovers, we all know that the symbol of the goddess of the night is the moon, and the metal corresponding to the moon is sterling silver."
"So, if we want to avoid disaster, it's best to choose a silver amulet with a corresponding incantation."
Moreover, the language of the incantation is correct, the format is correct, the corresponding symbols of the "Queen of Distress and Fear", the number representing the spiritual number, the spell logo, etc. are correct, and the positional relationship with each other is correct... But this is too complicated Now, there's no need to tell you... Klein silently added in his heart.
The girl heard her eyes bright, and asked rather suspiciously:
"As a believer of the goddess, can you wear amulets of other gods?"
"No problem, the gods won't care about this trivial matter." Klein comforted the other party.
His no problem refers to the wearer, and the maker must be careful. If the believers of the Lord of Storms make the amulet of the eternal sun, they will most likely gain strong malice.
Of course, this refers to the kind that needs to be produced with the help of ritual magic, and the others don't need to be concerned.
The girl was obviously relieved:
"I hope it's a talisman that blesses her health. Which god should I choose? The Eternal Sun, the Mother Earth, or the God of Knowledge and Wisdom?"
"There is no problem with the Eternal Blazing Sun and the Mother Earth. The former corresponds to the sun, and the latter symbolizes the brown star." Klein said with a smile, "The material of the sun is gold, and the metal of the brown star is lead. I suggest choosing the sun. , I just don't know if you brought enough money."
The reason why he suggested this was because one of the three amulets that initially possessed aura was the health amulet of the sun domain.
"This is not..." When the girl said this, she suddenly stopped and looked vigilantly at the stall owner who was waiting in silence.
She thought about it, then asked:
"Once the material is determined, how to identify the incantations and symbols?"
"Do you know Hermeswen?" Klein asked rhetorically.
"It's just been in contact for a while." The girl replied embarrassedly.
"Then let me choose it for you." Klein pointed at the gold health amulet with his cane, "Whether it is a spell or a symbol, there is no problem with it."
The girl held up the skirt, squatted down, and picked up the health amulet with the sun pattern on the edge. It only felt warm to the touch, and her body seemed to be relaxed.
"Thank you, thank you." She stood up again and gave a grateful salute.
Klein laughed and said:
"The next thing is the communication between you, I have other things."
While speaking, he glanced at the stall owner, and found that the other party's eyes were very strange, as if hesitating whether to give himself a kickback.
With a chuckle, Klein didn't care about this matter anymore. He walked around the entire underground trading market in a hurry and didn't find any real Beyonder materials.
At this time, Old Neil had paid the bill and came out, still holding a dark wooden box in his hand.
Seeing Klein's puzzled eyes, he pointed to another room at the end and said:
"If you want to buy or sell extraordinary materials, go there. After all, no one wants to let people know what extraordinary items they bought."
"Understood." Klein nodded as if thinking.
He had no past needs for the time being, so he went outside the underground trading market with Old Neil.
"How much do these elves cost?"
Suddenly, an inquiring voice entered Klein's ears.
Elf flower... This is also the formula material for the "spectator" potion... Klein's heart moved, he glanced sideways, and saw the gentle man with gold-rimmed eyes again.
"What's the matter?" Old Neil asked slightly puzzled.
"It's nothing." Klein retracted his gaze.
Although he is a prospective member of the Nighthawks team, he does not feel that all Beyonders must be absorbed and imprisoned. He believes that this must be determined according to the situation. Among them, the "audience" must be no harm to the society, the kingdom or the world. type, and the probability of sequence 9 runaway is very low.
…………
After leaving the Evil Dragon Bar, Klein and Old Neil took a public carriage and left the dock area, then separated in the north area and returned to their respective homes.
The public carriage drove into Daffodil Street and stopped by the side of the road. Klein was about to go down when he suddenly saw a young lady in a gray and white dress getting ready to come up.
This lady has smooth black hair, a round face and slender eyes. The facial features are not outstanding when viewed separately, but together they have a gentle and sweet feeling.
Klein noticed that she was not because of her beauty, but found that her body was shaking slightly, abnormally.
"Miss, are you not feeling well?" Klein asked with the attitude of being a good person and doing good deeds.
The young lady shook her head sharply:
"No, I, I'm just too tired."
At this time, the people who got off the car at the back began to urge, and Klein had to leave first.
When he got a firm footing, he started to pay attention to what happened just now, so he squeezed his eyebrows twice with his fingers, intending to confirm that the young lady was really okay.
If the other party does have a serious, imminent illness, he will help send him to the hospital.
"Spiritual Vision" was turned on, and the color of the aura appeared. Klein turned around, preparing to look at the gentle and sweet young lady.
