Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

During previous gatherings, "The Magician" Fors had purchased "Digestor's Stomach Pouches" at the Tarot Club. At the time, only "The Sun" Derrick stated that he knew where to find "Digestors."

But after Fors established contact with Dorian, she learned that she might obtain the main ingredient for the potion from him, so she didn't continue the transaction.

A few days ago, Dorian came to Backlund and, in addition to concocting a "Student" potion for Fors, promised to provide her with "Deep-sea Spearfish Blood" for her advancement to "Trick Master."

In that case, Fors only needed to purchase a "Digestor's Stomach Pouch" to advance.

Although she still needed to digest the potion and wasn't in a hurry to advance, Fors felt it was necessary to confirm the transaction with "Little Sun" again, as "Little Sun" had previously stated that he needed the "Sun High Priest" potion formula.

If his needs remained unchanged, Fors would have to ask other members if they had any leads on "Digestor's Stomach Pouches."

"The Sun" Derrick said after hearing "The Magician's" words, "No problem. Can you find the 'Sun High Priest' potion formula? I can give you three 'Digestor's Stomach Pouches.'"

Fors smiled helplessly, "I'm sorry, I probably don't have a way to obtain that formula."

She thought, 'What would I do with three "Digestor's Stomach Pouches"? I'd have to take the extra two to extraordinary gatherings to sell. Just thinking about it is such a hassle.'

Just as the transaction was about to end in failure, "The Hanged Man" Alger suddenly said, "I can obtain the 'Sun High Priest' potion formula. We can initiate a three-way transaction."

Fors was taken aback, "A three-way transaction?"

"Little Sun" also didn't quite understand what Mr. "Hanged Man" meant.

"We can use pounds to measure this transaction," Alger explained. "A 'Digestor's Stomach Pouch' is worth 300 pounds, and the 'Sun High Priest' potion formula is worth 800 pounds.

"'The Sun' provides 'The Magician' with a 'Digestor's Stomach Pouch,' and 'The Magician' pays me 300 pounds to complete the first round of our three-way transaction.

"The remaining 500 pounds worth of the 'Sun High Priest' potion formula will be provided by 'The Sun' to me in the form of two extraordinary materials to complete the second round of the transaction."

As the Eternal Blazing Sun Church's longtime rival, the Storm Church naturally had the "Sun" pathway potion formula. Alger planned to use the suspicion that someone was purchasing "Sun High Priest" extraordinary materials as a reason to access the relevant information from the Church.

Fors's eyes lit up, "Mr. Hanged Man, this method perfectly solves the problem."

Derrick also nodded, indicating that he was willing to accept the transaction, "Mr. Hanged Man, do you also need 'Digestor's Stomach Pouches?'"

He could complete the hunting of "Digestors" on his own, so he didn't feel any pressure from this transaction.

"I don't need them," Alger said. "I need you to provide a list of monsters around Silver City. Uh, the list of monsters you can currently hunt. I will choose two items from it."

Derrick immediately said, "No problem."

"Justice" Audrey looked at the three parties in the transaction, feeling that something was not quite right.

Behind the gray fog, "The Fool" Klein smiled and thought, 'The old ginger is spicier. "The Hanged Man" didn't pay any price and obtained a list of monsters around Silver City. In the future, if he needs anything, he can ask "Little Sun" to complete the corresponding transaction at any time.'

"The Hanged Man" clearly understood that in this era of relatively closed information, information was the most valuable commodity, but "Little Sun" didn't seem to quite understand this.

Although he thought of these things, Klein didn't intend to offer any reminders because he also wanted to see what monsters were around Silver City and what corresponding extraordinary materials there were.

Soon, Derrick gave a list to "The Hanged Man." Alger chose two extraordinary materials that he was confident he could sell in the short term, and the transaction officially began.

At this time, Odyss said, "Can I also take a look at that list?"

He smiled at Derrick and said, "If I can help you sell some extraordinary materials through my channels, you can get some pounds, and you can use these pounds to trade with us.

"Of course, I also have channels to obtain some extraordinary weapons. If you have any needs, we can continue to conduct barter transactions."

Klein twitched the corner of his mouth slightly: Another one trying to fleece the sheep?

Derrick immediately said happily, "No problem."

Klein almost covered his face: No wonder everyone is desperately trying to fleece him. "Little Sun's" posture is too good; you can fleece him as soon as you reach out.

After Odyss glanced at the list, he said, "I want 3 pairs of Demon Ape eyeballs, 70 milliliters of Horned Blackfish blood, and 2 complete portions of 'Parasitic Spirit' dust.

"Demon Ape eyeballs" are what Odyss and the others call "Nasla Ancient Mountain Giant Ape" eyeballs, which are one of the main ingredients for the "Seer" potion. Although Mr. "Fool" didn't translate, Odyss knew this.

The three things Odyss mentioned are one of the main ingredients for the "Seer," "Audience," and "Apprentice" potions, respectively.

Among them, 35 milliliters of "Horned Blackfish blood" is one portion of the main ingredient. Odyss asked for 70 milliliters, which is equivalent to two portions of Sequence 9 main ingredients.

Previously, Odyss had sold many potion formulas at the Mysticism Research Society, but he didn't provide the corresponding extraordinary characteristics and main ingredients. Therefore, the members of the Mysticism Research Society generally hold formulas and are seeking main ingredients everywhere.

Now, Odyss has a channel for extraordinary materials all of a sudden, so of course, he wants to take the opportunity to make another profit.

This made Klein and Alger both look at "The Hermit." Klein thought, 'Are you stocking up?'

Derrick was slightly stunned, not expecting "The Hermit" to "place an order" directly: "Okay, okay, I can give you these materials tonight."

These are all Sequence 9 extraordinary creatures, which are easy for Derrick to hunt.

Of course, he dared to promise to "deliver the goods" tonight because there were many such extraordinary materials in Silver City's warehouse. "Giant Ape eyeballs" and "Parasitic Spirit dust" could be picked up in the wild.

The reason is simple: there are many such monsters around Silver City, but there are no corresponding potion formulas. These main ingredients are useless to them.

Sometimes, after killing the corresponding monsters, they will only collect their blood or soul fragments as spiritual materials.

Because spiritual materials can still have a wide range of uses, but they don't know how to use the main ingredients on these monsters.

Fortunately, Derrick didn't explain this, otherwise, if Odyss knew that such a large fortune was left in the wild, he would be very distressed!

For Derrick, he only needed a small amount of merit to exchange for "Demon Ape eyeballs" and "Parasitic Spirit dust."

But because there were also "Audience" pathway extraordinary people in Silver City, the "Horned Blackfish blood" cost slightly more merit. Derrick prepared to hunt a "Horned Blackfish."

Yes, it was one because although this extraordinary creature was called "fish," it lived on land and was only called that because it had fish-like scales on its body.

Odyss nodded, "The materials I just mentioned are equivalent to 7 portions of Sequence 9 main ingredients. If each portion is calculated at 140 pounds, it is 980 pounds.

"This time, we can calculate it at the market price because I am confident that I can sell all the materials, but next time, if you want to propose a transaction for extraordinary weapons, it can only be calculated at 130 pounds or even 120 pounds each."

He smiled and said, "980 pounds is also a considerable fortune. Do you want pounds or do you want to exchange for extraordinary weapons?"

Derrick immediately said, "Exchange for extraordinary weapons."

"Let me briefly introduce the extraordinary weapons I can sell you," Odyss said. "There is a silver-white axe-shaped weapon that can release lightning within five meters.

"Those lightning bolts can paralyze the target and cause greater damage to undead and dark monsters.

"Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 targets can be paralyzed for 3 to 5 seconds, and the target's movement speed will also slow down for the next few seconds.

"Sequence 7 targets can be paralyzed for 2 to 3 seconds and will also have the effect of slowing down movement. Sequence 6 enemies may only be paralyzed for 1 second or only have their movement slowed down.

"However, after reaching Sequence 7, the opponent has many ways to avoid it, so it is relatively difficult to hit the target.

"Using a sneak attack or if the other party sees this weapon for the first time, the probability of success will be very high."

Before Derrick could say anything, Fors had already thought: Isn't this the weapon provided by "The Leader?"

Behind the gray fog, Klein recalled the extraordinary weapon used by "The Leader" after hearing "axe-shaped": Is he the "supplier" of Mr. Xio's weapons? Or is he Mr. Xio himself?

This clue almost made Klein certain that "The Hermit" was Mr. Xio. Even if he wasn't, there must be a close connection between them.

One is wrong, one first, one issue, one content, one in, one see, one see!

But he didn't intend to verify it immediately, only intending to buy a few if there were suitable extraordinary weapons.

After hearing the function of this weapon, Derrick immediately asked, "How much does one cost?"

"50 pounds," Odyss said. "But I must remind you that this is a one-time weapon."

The cost of this weapon is about 23 pounds. Odyss made many of them to deal with that "Incendiary," and there are still more than a dozen in the "Knowledge Moor."

Arger, standing to the side, thought to himself: That's very worth it! Paralyzing targets within a five-meter radius – this kind of thing can be used to save lives! Especially for Silver City, it's practically designed for them! Those monsters don't have the intelligence to dodge, so these weapons can be used to their maximum effect.

Derrick also realized this. He really wanted it, but he said with a wry smile, "If I use these weapons, I'll be suspected."

"You might have been before," Audris said with a smile. "But not now. Your Chief Colin already intends to use you to restrain the 'Shepherd' elder. Even if some strange weapons appear in your hands, as long as they're used to deal with monsters, he'll pretend he didn't see it."

"Well, in the beginning, you can use a small amount of these weapons first. If anyone asks, just say you found a way to make weapons from the monsters."

"When others see that these weapons are very useful and have no negative effects, they won't care about their origin."

He smiled and said, "Of course, you can also settle with gold pounds. For example, if you need to trade something from other members, I can pay for you, but no more than 980 pounds."

Actually, Audris had wanted to trade extraordinary weapons with "Little Sun" for a long time, but there hadn't been a suitable opportunity before. Now there's no problem with trading, and "Little Sun" doesn't have to worry about being suspected.

At the same time, he also hoped to trade extraordinary weapons with other members. Only through the Tarot Club's channels could he sell those weapons with confidence, without worrying about the source being traced.

All along, Audris didn't care whether Klein had guessed his real identity, but since this was a secret gathering, doing things that might expose himself from the start would make the other members feel that he wasn't stable enough.

Now that Klein already suspected that "The Hermit" was Mr. Xiar, it would be better to simply start trading completely. Before long, this would be another important source of income for him.

Derrick considered "The Hermit's" words and felt they made a lot of sense. Plus, he really wanted one of the weapons that "The Hermit" mentioned.

Although he wasn't old, Derrick, with his rich combat experience, had already realized that these weapons would definitely play a huge role in the "Land of the Forsaken."

So Derrick said, "Then I'll take a silver-white weapon first. I'll buy more after I've used it, to avoid suspicion."

"Please keep the remaining gold pounds for me. I'll use them when I need them."

"Okay!" Audris continued, "There's also a weapon that's shaped like an axe, but its effect is 'Freezing.'"

"After use, it can also form an ice and snow-covered area of about five meters in diameter. The effect is similar to the previous axe, but it can delay the target's movements for a longer time."

"Even if a Sequence 6 is hit or affected, a part of his body will be in a frozen state within 5 seconds."

"It's just that at this level, he has some ways to解除 (jiěchú - remove/release) this state, but this will inevitably take up some of his time, and in battle, time is the most precious thing."

This was another powerful weapon against monsters. If they could attract the monsters together, then do this…

Derrick seemed to have a picture in his mind.

And this was also made by Audris to deal with the "Pyromaniac," but he made too many, and there are still quite a few in stock.

Klein had a lot to say about this. Before, during the attack on Kapin's villa, that Sequence 6 was affected by this type of weapon from the "Leader" and then killed by Klein with an "Air Bullet."

"There's also a weapon shaped like a javelin," Audris added. "It has aiming and flying functions. With just a slight throw, it can hit a target within 50 meters and trigger a small explosion."

"How should I describe that explosion? It's similar to the explosion of a 70mm caliber artillery shell, and it has armor-piercing capabilities."

The explanation that followed was actually for Arger to hear.

This was leftover stock from the offline "Lelouch." Now he doesn't dare to use it in Backlund, but selling it to the "Land of the Forsaken" or the sea is no problem.

Before "Little Sun" could be surprised, Arger had already exclaimed, "So powerful?"

He seemed to see the scene when the target's ship was docked in the port, and a dozen sailors quietly approached, each throwing a javelin at the enemy ship. The other ship would definitely sink quickly in the harbor.

Of course, when you calculate it, artillery shells are cheaper than this javelin, but the problem is that the moment you expose the cannon to the other party, the other party will also start preparing to fire and be prepared.

Even if you fire all the shells on the ship, it's unlikely to sink the other ship.
