Chapter 61: Continued Investigation
Xia's 100 mithril bullets are worth 122,500 gold.
She couldn't possibly want to exchange such a valuable item for a fraction of the water element essence.
Under the gas lamp, Xia sat up straight and said solemnly:
"I just want to pay the same price as you to pursue an equal relationship."
Li Feng was slightly stunned after hearing this.
He probably understood what Xia meant, but he still let her continue.
"Whether you are seeking profit and avoiding harm, or you simply disdain to use my power, or you really want to get along in a different way as you said.
But no matter what your reason is, you have not enslaved me, and I have always been free.
Although you may not care, for me, in the contractual relationship, you have actually made a lot of concessions.
And I have become the one being taken care of, but I don't want this.
To me, you are a respectable human being.
That is why I don't want to be the one being taken care of.
So I am willing to give, and I can give something that is valuable to you at the same time.
So that I can also become the one giving in this relationship, and you can also become the one being taken care of.
Indeed, I have selfish motives, and I hope that this will allow us to truly achieve an equal cooperative relationship.
It is not about who takes care of whom, and who gives alms to whom.
Although this is just an agreement between gentlemen, I have nothing to say if you want to enslave me.
After all, in our contractual relationship, the control is not in my hands.
But at least I have a clear conscience, and I don't owe you anything."
Xia said a lot in one breath.
Li Feng nodded slightly, and she probably meant equal rights.
"So you want to stand on the moral high ground and make me embarrassed to control you?"
Li Feng felt that this young dragon was sometimes quite childish.
After hearing this, Xia looked up at the sky and lay flat:
"It's up to you. Anyway, you are quite shameless when you kill and rob. I dare not ask for it."
Li Feng: "..."
At this point, Li Feng suddenly remembered something.
Although he usually thinks that he is quite courageous, the mithril bullets are too expensive.
Li Feng pondered for a while and asked Xia:
"Well, in addition to these 100 mithril bullets, do you have any extra ones?"
Xia widened her eyes and said at the same time:
"All my assets!"
"I thought dragons would be richer than humans."
"We are all exterminated!"
"Uh... okay."
After that, Xia told Li Feng some things about how to merge the secret treasures.
What she said was similar to what Li Feng learned from Bishop Frey or the system task.
To fuse a secret treasure is to maximize the value of this secret treasure.
Specifically speaking of flint, it is to use it to hunt demons.
And flint without mithril bullets is not a complete secret treasure.
Therefore, if Li Feng wants to fuse flint now, he can only use expensive bullets.
Although there are many ways to kill demons.
But if Li Feng wants to fuse flint, for him, there is only this way to choose.
"I really hope that the fusion will be finished soon. This thing is too expensive."
Li Feng sighed again subconsciously.
"Promotion on the extraordinary road is either very dangerous or very expensive."
After hearing Li Feng's sigh, Xia said:
"Either dangerous and expensive."
Li Feng: "..."
The moonlight in midsummer is like water, pouring down on the earth.
Xia sighed and said:
"You must participate in the affairs of the demons in the dock area, right?"
After all, to fuse the secret treasure flint, Xia knew that Li Feng would definitely not stay out of it.
"That's right. Demons are not always available. I can only seize this opportunity."
"Okay."
Xia sighed. Demons are actually very dangerous. She didn't want Li Feng to take risks.
But Xia also understood that this was his chance, and Li Feng was not someone who was willing to give up the opportunity.
On the clean desk, Xia pushed the "Marcus Flower Street Miss Directory" in front of Li Feng with her furry claws.
And said:
"It smells like the blood of a red water snake.
If this directory was found in Marcus's house, then he is very likely to have been to the Extraordinary Materials Trading Market."
Hearing this clue, Li Feng raised his eyebrows.
Indeed.
When Hongshun came this morning, he told him.
This booklet was the first one printed, and Marcus had a habit of collecting the first one.
He thought he should be his first reader.
And this booklet was indeed found in Marcus's house.
It is the physical evidence of the case investigated by the Ring of the Earth, and it was not bought casually on the street.
'Extraordinary Materials Trading Market? Marcus is neither a superhuman nor a quasi-superhuman, so why would he go there? ’
Anyway, Li Feng had a new direction.
The night was shrouded in the sky, the stars were changing, and the constellations were shifting.
The next morning, Li Feng hurriedly left the Purple Gold Flower Church and prepared to go to the Superhuman Materials Trading Market.
However, halfway to the trading market, he met the tired priest Ralph.
After greeting him and asking some questions.
Li Feng learned that Ralph was also going to the trading market.
As for the reason.
It was the illegitimate son of the Governor named Jory Fell, who was also the leader responsible for the demonic incident in the dock area.
He ordered the Purple Flower Church to participate in capturing the mutated rats.
And Ralph was ordered to buy some herbs to help catch mice.
"Just arranging such a small amount of things, the 'little prince' kept us up half the night."
Ralph complained as he walked away.
The "little prince" he spoke of was Jory Fair.
Many people believe that Jory Fell is the most likely person to inherit the governor's office and title.
"By the way, Rhine, what are you going to buy?"
Ralph asked Li Fengdao.
"I'm not going to buy anything, I'm going to find Sally."
Li Feng answered simply.
"What?!"
After hearing this answer, Ralph's voice suddenly became louder.
The tired face became even more tired.
"You...when..."
"What are you thinking about?"
Li Feng interrupted Ralph, and then continued:
"I just wanted to ask her about someone."
After that, Li Feng briefly explained the situation to Ralph, and then Ralph felt relieved.
Extraordinary Materials Trading Market, Room 6.
Sally, dressed fashionably, welcomed Li Feng and Ralph with a smile.
Today she wore a dark blue professional dress and a ripple-shaped brooch.
This is the hallmark of this extraordinary material trading market.
The ripple-shaped brooch she wears represents that she is an employee here.
After a brief greeting, Li Feng took out the "Marcus Flower Street Miss Directory" and asked Sally:
"Do you know this Mr. Marcus?"
Sally raised her eyebrows and smiled to distance herself from him:
"I don't know him, but I know he is a prostitute for free."
Then Sally thought again and added:
"He is still very famous. In the dock area, it is difficult not to know him."
Li Feng nodded after hearing this and continued to ask:
"Has he been here recently?"
After hearing the question, Sally nodded while thinking about it, then she pouted and said:
"A week ago..."
Then she suddenly smiled:
"He came here often a week ago."
After hearing the meaning of Sally's words, Li Feng asked:
"Why does he come so often?"
"Why else?"
Sally's smile became even brighter:
"Of course it's for his sweetheart!"
Li Feng: Sure enough.
//Filled the previous pit, and once again explained why mithril bullets must be used.
