Chapter 41 Black Widow
Neither Xiao Kang nor Aoun had any intention of going to the Furnace Mountains with him to collect specimens. For a while, Lei Luo couldn't think of anyone else to invite to travel together.
"Traveling alone?"
Thinking like this, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Lei Luo hurriedly walked towards Scholar Street.
Due to the church's martial law, the once bustling scholars' street is now deserted.
"stop!"
Lei Luo, who was in a hurry, was scolded and stopped by a church knight on patrol under martial law.
With the sound of horse hooves, the church knight whose body was covered in metal armor came to Lei Luo. Only a pair of eyes were exposed under the helmet, looking at Lei Luo condescendingly.
"Your identification?"
Since the church imposed martial law in the college, the church has issued relevant identity certificates to facilitate public security. If you forget to bring your identity certificate, you need the college instructor to claim it before you can be released. This is very cumbersome and greatly hinders the freedom of the college.
Compared with the relaxed and free academic atmosphere of the college, today's college is indeed a bit tense and depressing, and many shops on the street have closed.
Those who buy housing in school districts may suffer big losses.
Lei Luo quickly took out his identity certificate and handed it over respectfully. The breath from the horse's nostrils sprayed on Lei Luo's face, which was a bit smelly. Lei Luo turned his head slightly.
The church knight took Lei Luo's identity certificate, confirmed it, and threw it back.
"Why did you run just now?"
"It's going to be dark soon. Street shops are under curfew these days. I want to buy a suitable weapon before the blacksmith shop closes. I will go out to collect specimens tomorrow."
The church knight looked at Lei Luo one last time, then turned and left.
"call……"
He was really nervous. After the knight left, Lei Luo breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down and continued to walk forward, frequently looking to both sides.
Ding dong! Ding dong…
Attracted by the "ding dong" sound of forging in a shop in the distance, Lei Luo walked over and was met by the high temperature of the stove. A shirtless man with thick chest hair, smelling of sweat, was knocking a handle on the stove. Iron sword.
"Boss, I want to buy a handy iron sword!"
After thinking about it, he added: "It should be cheaper!"
The shirtless man wiped his sweat, and when he saw Lei Luo wearing a bachelor's uniform, he forced a smile, pointed at a pile of iron swords placed in the corner behind him, and sighed to himself: "Business is not good, and the rent is high. Gui, how can we live like this! May God bless us and catch those damn wizards as soon as possible!"
Lei Luo silently selected among these iron swords.
As a student who has only mastered the zero-level bubble technique, a handy weapon is of course more reassuring for Lei Luo than the bubble technique.
Suddenly!
Lei Luo seemed to have discovered something strange, his eyes rested on an inconspicuous black iron sword, and he could no longer move away.
Tip: Found seventy-three grams of black magic iron.
Looking at the other iron swords, there was no prompt. Only when Lei Luo picked up this iron sword, the prompt subtitles appeared in front of him again.
Lei Luo was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and turned around and said: "Boss, where did this iron sword come from, and how do you sell it?"
The man surrounding the forge looked back and said calmly: "I don't know which unlucky guy was picked up from the Demon Eagle Forest by a regular customer of mine. He didn't have time to go back to the forge and rebuild it. If you want it now, twenty silver coins." Take it away.”
Although black magic iron is only one of the relatively low-grade magic materials, it is still traded in units of grams.
Seventy-three grams of black magic iron is not a small amount!
"Boss, I want this iron sword. Here are the silver coins."
Taking out twenty silver coins, Lei Luo bought the unexpectedly discovered iron sword and put it into the space box, looking excited.
On the way home, Lei Luo was thinking wildly.
For unknown reasons, the star core has merged with itself, just like the iron sword has just been discovered to be integrated into the black magic iron. After passing the star core, maybe there will be other unexpected discoveries in the Furnace Mountains?
"Lei Luo?"
Suddenly, there was a shout from behind.
Lei Luo, who was in excitement, looked back and saw that the familiar face was his neighbor, Mei Lin, whom he had not seen for a long time.
He still looked like he was doing nothing and lazy, but this was the first time Lei Luo saw Merlin without his nightgown. The beautiful widow was looking at him, full of surprise: "Are you still alive?"
"Sister Meilin."
Lei Luo responded, knowing what the other person was referring to.
That night, she probably saw herself being attacked by a wizard and her life was in danger. Now she was really surprised to see herself standing here fine.
Lei Luo smiled helplessly: "I was saved by my mentor and saved my life."
Nodding in disbelief, Mei Lin recalled the dangerous scene that night and said thoughtfully: "The master who saved you at that time was really powerful, but I watched helplessly as you were penetrated by that terrible wizard. chest!"
Then, Mei Lin smiled and said, "I thought another new neighbor died."
"Well……"
Lei Luo was quite embarrassed.
I'm afraid that Mei Lin will suffer new criticism because of herself.
He looked up at the shop next to Mei Lin, which was a pharmacy called Black Widow, and couldn't help but look even more embarrassed.
Sensing Lei Luo's strange expression, Merlin said nonchalantly: "It was said to be a pharmacy, but now it has been run by me as a poison shop. Customers come here to buy poison. If you survive this time, why don't you buy a few bottles and keep them?" To commemorate and defend myself in the future?”
Poison?
Lei Luo's eyes lit up and he asked tentatively: "Sister, are you short of apprentices here? I can work for you for free!"
"Working for free?"
Mei Lin was stunned for a moment, not expecting Lei Luo to make such a request. She looked Lei Luo up and down and laughed softly: "Then are you interested in me, the widow, or are you interested in my family property? "
"ah?"
He didn't know how many times he had been teased by the other party. Lei Luo blushed to the root of his neck and said quickly: "I just want to learn some knowledge about poisons from you because I have obtained a special academic qualification."
Poof.
When Mei Lin saw Lei Luo's appearance, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, look how nervous you are! But as it happens, I do lack an apprentice here. If you are interested, you can come over at any time. I can pay you every The reward is eighty silver coins per month.”
Lei Luo said excitedly: "Okay! It's a deal!"
Whether it is evolving the bubble technique or studying the feasibility of "Self-Control", poison knowledge is a necessary part of Lei Luo's research.
"Basic Poison Formula", Lei Luo wants to learn it by himself, but he doesn't know how long it will take to complete it, and it will need to be verified through a lot of experiments. If he can work for a poison master, Lei Luo will undoubtedly benefit a lot.
Mei Lin flipped up her hair beside her ears. Her voluptuous figure exuded an indescribable mature allure. She rolled her eyes and said charmingly: "Then when do you plan to come over?"
When the bartender neighbor who was playing with the malt aroma saw this scene, his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He looked at the clueless Lei Luo with sympathy, and then continued to work on his own.
Occasionally passers-by stared closely at Lei Luo and Mei Lin, as if they wanted to find something from their expressions.
"I plan to go out in the next few days to collect specimens in the Furnace Mountains. If nothing else happens, I will come to you when I come back."
Lei Luo walked into the store and looked at the various poisons inside, and was shocked by the prices inside.
Merlin didn't take it seriously and said: "Giggle, but let's talk about it first. It's fine if you want to learn poison knowledge from me. However, antidote requires a special pharmacist to prepare it. I'm not good at this."
Well?
Good at making poison, but not good at detoxifying?
She is indeed a black widow!
