Shade thought about the meaning of this word, and Old John smiled and said:
"Yes, it is very close to your answer. Every item here has the imprint of society and civilization, and there are traces of people from different classes. Every old thing has experienced different experiences with different people.
The story, to me, is the best product.”
"So, you are proficient in the [enlightenment] element of brass?"
Shade asked slightly surprised.
According to the common sense he learned about ring magicians, although the element of "Enlightenment" comes from civilization, people prefer to obtain "Enlightenment" through books. For example, Miss Louisa's ring magician system is biased toward fairy tales, based on a certain ancient classic
The fairy tale connects the first four links to construct a sublimated language, with a clear and simple context.
However, it is very rare for ring warlocks to come into contact with the element of [Enlightenment] purely from the perspective of civilization itself.
Because this requires strong talent, wisdom and perseverance, as well as some unpredictable luck, it is not something ordinary people can do. But generally speaking, ring warlocks who use civilization itself to enlighten themselves will also be quite powerful and have a lot of
Unimaginable and unique magic.
"Yes, detective. For an old man like me, this kind of life is the best. I can satisfy my hobbies and continue to improve on the path of a ring magician. What else can be better than this?"
of?"
The old man said with satisfaction, and then looked at Shade before he wanted to ask more:
"Speaking of which, Detective, have you heard about Lakeview Manor?"
It seems like all the ring wizards in town love to talk about it.
"Of course I heard about it. I was even at Lakeview Manor that day, playing Rhodes with others."
There is no need to hide this matter.
"Are you there too?"
Old John said suspiciously, probably thinking of the [Silver Moon Orb], but Shade was too weak, so he didn't make the connection:
"What a coincidence. The thirteen-ring warlock who appeared in the rumors is also proficient in [Silver Moon] like you. I heard that the other party showed the posture of the Hanged Man under the moon, and then he was seriously injured with a casual kick.
The one with silver eyes. I bet that the posture of the Hanged Man is a specific posture required for casting the spell."
"Um......"
It seems that the people in Tobesk had various misunderstandings about Shade's performance that day.
"Probably, but the other party is really too strong."
He praised himself.
"Yes, Thirteen Rings, three complete sentences of sublimation. This is a height that many people will never reach."
Old John sighed and put his reading glasses into the case, not forgetting to tell Shade:
"Detective, since the other party acted in such a high-profile manner, maybe he is still in Tobesk. Maybe we will have the opportunity to see him again in the future. This kind of high-level warlock must be very rich. If you know him, remember to introduce him to me
If you buy something here, I can give you a commission. Old John's Pawn Shop has everything."
After chatting about these things, we started talking about the reason why Shade came here. Of course he came to buy things:
"I want to find a relic that has the function of extracting energy from the living body itself or a similar entity or non-entity, and then pouring it into the user's body. As long as it has this function, it is ok, is it the main function, or is it
Serious consequences of use are not considered for the time being."
He described his requirements in as much detail as possible.
Although this request sounded a bit strange, Old John didn't ask any more questions:
"It's beneficial to yourself at the expense of others... Well, what about the price this time?"
After touching his pocket to confirm that "there was no money in his pocket" was not his illusion, Shade said:
"You make an offer first and give me some time to raise the money."
The price of the relic will not be cheap, even if it has the wallet of the former detective, it will definitely not be enough, and he has already spent a lot of money.
"Your new bargaining strategy? This is good, but wait, I want to check it out."
He turned around and left the counter, and entered the back door of the pawn shop. He didn't leave for too long this time, but came back empty-handed in ten minutes:
"Indeed, it is, but it is not mine. It is sold by an acquaintance. The quotation is 300 pounds. If you accept it, I can arrange a meeting for you and you can negotiate the price."
"300 pounds?"
Shade calculated that this was equivalent to a few Mias, but if he sold Founder Silver Moon, it should be enough. However, after the incident at Lakeview Manor, he wanted to keep that card, so he didn't do it yet.
Make a decision.
"Looking at your expression, I know you can't afford it."
Old John shook his head and said:
"In this case, I will help you keep an eye on similar relics during this period. If there is any news, I will write to your address. Remember to raise money early, otherwise I will sell it to others."
"Of course... In fact, I can accept it up to fifty pounds."
This is because the limit of selling the Saint Teresa Square furniture and the detective's relics without affecting the living standards is about fifty pounds.
"It's much easier this way, then just wait for my news. It's not that I don't have what you want this time, it's that you can't afford it, so don't say that my store doesn't have all the goods."
This sentence actually made Shade doubt whether the "300 pound relic" really existed.
Because the time was calculated just right, it was only six o'clock when we returned to Saint Teresa Square. Although he was in a good mood today, for the sake of saving money, Shade did not go to the restaurant to eat. He was already full at noon, and in the evening
It doesn't matter if you don't eat.
But little Mia's dinner can't be saved. Not long ago, after Miss Gaode remitted the money, Shade had already prepared cat food for the cat. The high-end cat food in this era has exceeded the price of ordinary people's meals.
But Shade wanted to be more honest, so the cat food he chose for little Mia was pretty good, at least the young orange cat liked it.
He was not at home all day, and of course the guests who came to visit could not find him, so they could only leave messages. There were two letters thrust in from the door that Shade saw. One was from Sir Lavender, who wanted to talk to Shade.
Let's discuss the matter of the [Ancient Fairy Tale Match Girl]; the letter was from Captain Rades who regretted his behavior at the banquet after sobering up. He wanted to apologize to the detective, but did not mention the antique stick.
The thing about the revolver.
"How did the Captain know I lived here?"
The suspicious Shade thought, and then realized that the business card he distributed in Lakeview Manor had an effect.
That night, I didn’t make any more travel plans for myself, but learned the thaumaturgy [Full Food]. The learning of this thaumaturgy is very simple, but the materials are complicated. Among them, "the stomachs of three kinds of female viviparous animals that were stuffed to death"
" and "The lanugo hair of a baby boy born under the waning phase of the red moon" is the hardest to find, and this is where Shade's money for materials mainly goes.
