Chapter 137 'The Magician' Lloyd

The vendors at this stall are two hunters with red fox emblems on their clothes.

Su Lun recognized this logo. It was the logo of the "Fire Fox Group", a large hunting group in Old Lington.

Their stall displays various parchment scrolls and ancient books.

Some are well preserved and look like they came from the cursed space.

Some of them are tattered and incomplete, and they should be antiques from the map.

It looked like I had found an ancient library.

Seeing Su Lun stop, one of them picked up the scroll and called to him: "Hey, brother, do you want to buy an alchemy scroll? The scroll recording the rare thunder alchemy [Five Thunder Explosion], the old Lingdun auction once

I've offered you a high price of 300,000 yuan, but I only need 240,000 yuan to take it away. We are from the 'Fire Fox Hunting Group', and there is absolutely no problem with our credibility. If you can't believe it, you can go through the Chamber of Commerce's appraisal channel..."

Most of the scrolls were marked with spell names. Although they were not allowed to be opened, Su Lun used the Eye of Omniscient to identify them and confirmed that these were really good things.

However, the spell scroll was not what he wanted.

He looked at it and asked: "Are there any ancient books recording spiritual knowledge, or a puppet master's classics?"

"These two classics are very partial..."

Without thinking about this casual question, the man seemed to have thought of something, "Wait...it seems there is."

He rummaged around in the storage ring, took out a thick book, and said, "Look at this, right?"

Suellen looked at it. On the cover of the book was written "Introduction to Spirit" in Old Nepali, written by Joseph Discher.

He asked: "Can I turn a few pages?"

"certainly."

The man didn't mind, so he handed over the classics and said: "This thing seems to be a super-level knowledge, so I didn't put it on display."

Ultra-level knowledge is of no use to ordinary people in Old Town, and no one will buy it if it is put on display.

Probably only the rich in the inner city would buy some as antiques.

Su Lun read a few pages, which were some theoretical introductions to spiritual power, but not the secret methods of cultivation.

But he was also ready to buy it and take a look. Maybe he could find some useful knowledge, so he asked, "How can I sell this book?"

The man said truthfully: "This is what our group just brought out from the ruins last night. If no one buys it, we are going to sell it to a big trading house in the inner city. They will send people to buy it every afternoon, which can probably

Let’s sell it for 70,000 to 80,000 copies. If you want, just give me the same price.”

Alchemy knowledge is very expensive, even if it is second level, it will definitely cost more than this.

But if you can't use "super-level knowledge", it will be worthless.

"Yeah. I bought it."

The price is quite fair. Su Lun nodded, "Is there anything else?"

The man took out a few more classics and said: "There is nothing related to puppetry. But I also have a fragment of arcane alchemy here, as well as some super-level knowledge. If you are interested, I can show it to you.

..”

Su Lun looked at it and bought a few more books.

But he didn't buy spell scrolls. Those things were expensive, required a lot of effort to learn, and were not suitable for his profession.

.......

Some useful things were harvested from the first stall, and Su Lun felt that there might be some good things harvested from this market.

He continued walking forward, stopping to look at stalls that interested him.

Most of the stalls were filled with various alchemy materials and employment materials...

The stalls of those large hunting groups were even piled up like mountains, and it was unknown how many monsters had been killed.

However, now that Su Lun has advanced to a professional level, he has no need for first-level materials.

But after a few rounds, most of the shops were filtered out.

Moreover, he actually saw the second-order inauguration materials and colonial decoration drawings at some large stalls.

But most of them are materials for mainstream melee, assassin, and mage professions. They are very expensive and there are no suitable ones.

Su Lun wanted to find second-level employment materials that had to be passed on "Space Ability" first, but he didn't want to use it. That kind of thing would never appear at the stall.

Even if there is one, it will be immediately bought at a high price by speculators wandering the streets at any time.

Su Lun walked most of the street, and then discovered another unexpected surprise!

At an inconspicuous stall, he saw the stall owner packing some silver silk threads in a box, and it seemed that there were more than twenty strands.

Upon inspection, it turned out to be the [Curse Hair of the Weeping Witch] that he had been looking for!

It was an expected and unexpected surprise.

He had guessed before that since the hair came from the ruins, other people might suffer from it, but he didn't expect that he would actually encounter it.

Su Lun walked over quickly and asked, "Brother, how do you sell this silk thread?"

The stall owner looked at the customers and introduced them enthusiastically: "Oh, sir, you have really good taste. This silk thread is amazing, it is very tough, and after injecting dark spiritual power, it will become transparent, and it can also transform into elements..."

Although this silk thread is magical, it may not be used in many professions, so it is not easy to sell.

This blow also attracted some passers-by around, who seemed to be very interested in this kind of elemental thread.

Su Lun knew the characteristics of this hair very well and didn't want to attract too much attention. Before he finished the introduction, he said, "Make a price and buy it if it suits you."

The stall owner turned his eyes and showed a flash of shrewdness. He casually called out the price: "Ten thousand pieces. You know, after all, it took a lot of effort to get this..."

This is obviously a test of oral pleasure.

"If I guess correctly, you should have picked up this thread from a corpse, right?"

Su Lun naturally said this because he wanted the other party to realize that he knew what he was doing.

This material is a "new material" and almost no one in Old London has seen it before.

For those who need it, 10,000 pieces is really cheap.

But for people who don’t need it, giving it away for free is useless.

After all, being a puppet master is a rare profession, and very few people are in need of it.

Although he thought the hair was worth the price, he didn't want to be taken advantage of.

Su Lun did not hesitate and said simply: "One price, I packed everything, one hundred thousand liso."

The man thought for a while and seemed to feel that this customer was not easy to fool, so he responded decisively: "Okay!"

Su Lun paid the money and put the hair into the storage ring, feeling inexplicably relieved.

At this time, the stall owner introduced other things on his stall, "Look, I still have some materials here..."

"Do you still have this thread?"

"No, that's all."

"..."

Su Lun glanced at it, not focusing on the material, but asked directly: "I want to know the information about the origin of this thread. If you know, I am willing to pay the right price."

When hunting outdoors, everything has a price.

Includes information.

The stall owner was not surprised when he heard this. The information about the source of the material was also one of the "commodities" he set up a stall to sell.

He quoted the price directly: "Thirty thousand. I promise to give you the specific location where the thread was found."

"Ten thousand!"

Suellen is more direct.

He took out a thick stack of green cash and said, "If it's not detailed enough, I will refuse to pay."

"OK!"

The stall owner took out a pen and paper and drew a sketch: "On the outskirts of the east city of the ruins, there is a monastery three hundred meters northeast of the red brick tower..."

Su Lun listened and had a rough impression of the address in his mind.

He needs this [Weeping Witch's Cursed Hair], the more the better.

This will give him a qualitative leap in puppet control.

If possible, he would even want to find the monster that produced this material.

Now that I have the Black Scythe, a powerful weapon, I have the idea to try it even with high-level deformed monsters.

...

This was originally a normal transaction.

Unexpectedly, while the vendor was still telling Su Lun the address, several people suddenly came over.

"I heard that you sell a special kind of silk thread at your stall?"

The arrogant tone of his mouth revealed the superior status of the visitor.

Su Lun knew without looking that most of these people came from the inner city.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye and glanced slightly sideways.

The person who came was a middle-aged man in a suit with an upturned mustache.

Su Lun's eyes were instantly attracted to his hands holding the handle of the cane. The fingers were long and the meridians on the back of the palms were clear. This condition usually means that the fingers are flexible, which can be seen in professions such as pianists and typists.

See.

If it's an extraordinary professional...or maybe it's a puppet master!

Because Su Lun's own hands are like this.

When the vendor heard someone asking, he looked at the visitor's attire, and his tone suddenly became polite: "Dear sir, what do you need?"

The middle-aged man with a mustache said his purpose again: "I heard that you are selling a special kind of silk thread, and I am interested in buying it."

"this..."

Upon hearing this, the vendor glanced at Su Lun, showing a hint of embarrassment.

Su Lun guessed the guy's purpose and didn't intend to add any details. He handed the money to the stall owner and said calmly: "Here is the money, just give me the note."

"oh..."

The stall owner was a little at a loss.

The middle-aged man obviously saw something from the stall owner's expression and asked, "Do you want to say that the silk thread has been sold?"

The stall owner replied bravely: "Yes. I just sold it to this gentleman."

The mustached man looked at Su Lun's adventurer outfit and didn't look at it again.

It seems that he feels that his status will be diminished when talking to civilians.

At this time, the young man who looked like an apprentice was following him. He noticed the color correctly and stopped Su Lun who was about to turn around and leave: "Sir, please wait."

Su Lun heard that the other party's tone was quite polite, so he paused for a moment and said, "Huh?"

The young man said: "The silk thread you just bought is very important to us. Can you please part with it?"

"Sorry, I have no idea of ​​selling materials."

Su Lun decisively refused.

Before he spoke, he actually guessed the other party's intention.

However, he will definitely not sell this hair.

Because this is not just a few materials, but also related to whether he can control the "hating living zombie" normally!

A few months ago, he got three [Curse Hair of the Weeping Witch] on the black market, but because the number was too small, it was not enough to control the puppet, so he just left it to gather dust.

Now with these more than ten, it is completely enough for him to control a puppet in a small area.

When he entered the city before, he felt that the Abomination Living Corpse was too eye-catching, and if it was controlled with a steel wire, it would be easy for others to see it.

Now with these hair strands, this problem is solved perfectly.

Now he doesn't even have to cover up to hide the existence of hatred like before. The cloak covers the living corpse, and when controlling it, he infuses the hair with dark spiritual power, and the special thread that can be elementalized will completely disappear.

You can take it with you at any time, there are no traces of manipulation, and no one will suspect you.

Therefore, he will never give up the material he obtained.

...

Upon hearing Su Lun's refusal, the young man's face suddenly changed.

His identity and status have never received such treatment.

This made him feel ignored and humiliated by a civilian from an outer city.

A gloom flashed in the young man's eyes, but he kept silent and said calmly: "I am Danzig Oliver. This is my teacher, Mr. Lloyd Rodney, the 'Puppet Master'. That silk thread material

It is only useful to the puppet master. If you, sir, can part with me, we will pay you extra compensation..."

oliver family,

The first-class chaebol in the inner city.

It is almost as powerful as the branches of the Reyes family, which is divided into seven.

It is also one of the "five major chaebols" that built the camp.

The purpose of removing one’s identity is naturally to make people retreat when faced with difficulties.

Su Lun was also somewhat impressed by the identity of the mustache mentioned by the young man.

The famous "Juggler" Lloyd Rodney is one of the few puppet professional mentors in the entire Old Town, a veteran second-level profession.

But what about inner city dwellers?

Others may still worry about three points, but...

Does this have anything to do with him being a wanted criminal?

Su Lun responded because the other party had been polite enough before.

But now, he couldn't see the arrogance of these guys. They were obviously using their power to overwhelm others.

"Sorry, I really don't have any ideas for materials to sell."

Without further ado, he turned around and strode away.

.......

Seeing Su Lun not giving any face, the young man named Danze blushed instantly.

But everyone was gone, leaving him no chance to attack.

Danze could only turn his head and glare at the stall owner, and said angrily: "How much did he pay?"

The stall owner swallowed his saliva as he was stared at: "Ten...hundred thousand."

Danze said angrily: "We will give you one million and sell me the silk thread!"

"this..."

The stall owner had a bitter look on his face and instantly felt that he had made a loss.

Although he knew the rules of the market, he still wanted to take the money, so he quickly turned to greet Su Lun, who had already left, and said loudly: "Sir, can you..."

Su Lun didn't look back and said coldly: "No!"

"you..."

The stall owner was at fault and had nothing to say.

Seeing Su Lun's attitude, the young man named Danze became even more furious and cursed: "Damn guy!"

But the mustache on the side shook his head and called to the young man: "Now that the materials are sold, let's go. Originally, silk thread is a perfect puppet material. If there are enough, I can consider giving it to you as a breeding material for refining [Thousands of Silk]."

The main material of the installation is a pity..."

Danze felt even worse when he heard it.

After a pause, the mustache looked at the stall owner again: "By the way, where did you get the silk thread material? Let's buy a copy of the information too."

Several people returned the same way.

As they walked, the anger in the young man's heart not only did not subside, but instead rose up.

He said to the middle-aged man next to him: "Teacher, I think that guy just now may not know [The Weeping Witch's Cursed Hair]. After all, that thing is of little use to ordinary professionals. Maybe I am too reckless.

, reported my origin. Let him hear that I am from the Oliver family, and then I deliberately wanted to raise the price."

After a pause, he felt that he had caught something, and suddenly realized: "I will go find him now, and I will definitely buy it at an increased price. That silk thread is worth even if it costs one million!"

"No, he should know the efficacy of that hair very well."

The mustache shook his head.

Su Lun did not give him face as a disciple, nor as a teacher.

There was also a flash of coldness in his eyes: "Since you reported out of the family, he is not afraid of offending people and refuses to give up the materials, so he thinks he should be a puppet master. Haha... The old Lingdun puppet master lineage,

There are just a few inheritances. I really want to see where he gets his confidence!"

After a pause, the middle-aged man turned his eyes and thought: "However, I do think that he should be a wanted criminal..."

Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a short-sighted guy to not give face to the Oliver family, nor to Lloyd Rodney!

"Yes, I think you are right, teacher!"

Hearing this, the young man's eyes lit up with joy and he immediately understood.

He glanced at the bodyguard behind him.

The bodyguard understood immediately and quietly left the team.

.......

Su Lun was walking on the street when he suddenly noticed something. He frowned slightly and murmured in his heart: "I'm being followed..."

He has the ability to perceive malicious intent, and he can detect any malicious sight immediately.

Obviously, they are the people from the Oliver family just now.

Are you feeling evil?

hehe...

There was a hint of coldness at the corner of Su Lun's mouth.

However, the campground is crowded with people and it is not suitable for taking action.

Su Lun thought for a moment and didn't want to kill people and cause trouble here, so he turned into a corner.

The person following him was probably a professional bodyguard, and he wasn't very good at tracking.

Since Su Lun knew about it in advance and the camp buildings were confusing and complicated, it was easy to lose sight of the target.

Not long after, Su Lun changed his clothes and mask and walked onto the street again.

At this time, the mechanical dog and cargo were no longer around him, but instead followed by a burly man in a cloak.

Although such a tall figure is very eye-catching, one or two such exaggerated melee professionals and heavy-armed mechanical warriors can occasionally be seen on the street.

Instead of the witch's hair, the control thread completely disappeared into the air.

There is breathing and heartbeat, and no one else can detect the abnormality of hating living corpses.

Su Lun led the living corpse in the direction of the "Hunter Guild".

If there is really a place where I can find out the whereabouts of the "Secret Technique of Mental Power" and the advanced materials for space abilities, it must be the Hunting Guild.

There is the most complete information about the ruins, as well as the hunting team that has the information.
