Katyusha is a very common name. In the northern part of the Luying Empire, many young girls had this nickname.
Su Lun didn't feel any malice from her, so she bargained patiently.
However, this girl does not seem to be short of money, but she is more interested in the two rings.
"I can pay you more for these two rings."
"Sorry Mr. Nicholas, it's not about money. I am an 'astrologer', although I am a trainee. But I need to learn a lot of boring knowledge. This ring can bring me a lot of help. Losing it,
I think it will be very distressing... You know, I got the things on the black market, so I am not sure who the owner of the ring is. Sorry, I didn't question your meaning. It's just that this will make me
It’s very difficult.”
"Can I exchange for something else? I have some manuscripts of 'Master Arnald' here. You should have heard about astrology."
"Is it "Astrology"? I also have a set of printed copies at home, sorry."
""
Su Lun herself felt that what this girl said was reasonable.
The goblin communicator was okay, it had a blood-media contract, Su Lun was not dead, and it would be useless for others to take it.
But that [Seria's Blessing] is of great use to alchemists. Especially for professionals who need to learn a lot of reading, it can be regarded as a "little artifact".
Although it was the first time for the two to meet, Su Lun could tell from a simple exchange that this freckled girl was very knowledgeable. She was obviously well-educated, had a very good tutor, and appeared to be very polite.
Moreover, since she is an "astrologer", she does have a very high demand for knowledge, and it is reasonable that she is unwilling to give up.
Moreover, exchanging things is not feasible. This girl's family is very well-off, and it sounds like she has a lot of good things in her collection.
Maybe he's a high-ranking nobleman traveling incognito?
But Su Lun was also surprised that a young nobleman was so polite and willing to bargain patiently with a stranger.
Apart from the forbidden items that couldn't be taken out, he felt like he couldn't come up with anything that interested her.
This is very embarrassing.
However, Su Lun had the patience to talk slowly, but the negative emotions in his heart did not
While they were talking, Su Lun suddenly heard a whisper in his ear!
A red light flashed in his eyes for a moment, and an uncontrollable mania emerged from the bottom of his heart.
It's as if there is a devil in my ears that keeps urging: Kill her! Kill her and you can get your things back!
Su Lun realized something and closed his eyes suddenly, trying to suppress the overwhelming desire with his will.
The moment he closed his eyes, he seemed to see a sea of blood in front of him, trying to swallow up the entire world in his heart.
Others looked at him still sitting there, but they didn't know that Su Lun was already full of ferocity under his clown mask.
He will never become a slave to his emotions.
He took out a sedative and injected it into himself.
In fact, there are some evil thoughts and demons hidden in everyone's heart. They are almost animalistic instincts, such as killing, possessing, mating, greed, and jealousy, just because reason suppresses them. This is human nature.
Su Lun's mental power is now distorted, and those primitive desires have become extremely powerful, far beyond reason.
After the potion was poured in, he felt a sense of clarity. Forcibly suppressing those negative emotions was like locking a beast into an iron cage. He exerted all his strength, and his whole body trembled slightly.
With a "click", a corner of the wooden seat was crushed to pieces by him.
Holding back the killing intent, Su Lun spit out a word with gritted teeth from his throat, "Get out!"
This is the roar of denial of desire
It was this weird scene, like a drug addict's, that frightened the little girl named Katyusha opposite and visibly trembled.
She looked at Su Lun as if she saw something. Instead of running away, she asked with slight concern: "Mr. Nicholas, you don't look good?"
When Su Lun heard the voices from the outside world, the restlessness in his heart was gradually suppressed, and then he came to his senses and realized that he was still negotiating.
It was as if he had gone through a fierce battle, and his back was wet with cold sweat.
He also probably guessed that this was the sequelae of using Death's Shadow to kill the "Poison Frog" Bonn.
After taking a deep breath, Su Lun finally recovered and said with an apologetic tone: "Sorry, I scared you."
After a pause, he continued: "As you can see, there is indeed something wrong with my body, so I have to get my two rings back."
Hearing this, Katyusha immediately showed a trace of hesitation on her face, "Oh"
After thinking about it, she took out a small silver ball and put it on the table and said: "I know some healing techniques. I see that sir, you seem to have some mental problems. I made this [Star Talisman].
It can calm the mind and calm the mind. You can keep it by your side, and it may be able to bring some trivial help to others."
What the other person said was very humble and full of good intentions.
Su Lun took a look and identified the attributes.
【Star Talisman】
Detailed explanation: Made of cold star meteorite iron, it is a talisman that can make people feel calm; although the rune engraving technique is a bit rough, it is undeniable that this is a very rare material that can carry energy.
When he looked at the amulet, his expression suddenly became complicated.
The runes were very rough, and it looked like they were carved by apprentices.
However, this material is really rare.
Metals such as meteorites are extremely scarce resources and are usually used to forge high-level weapons and some special alchemy techniques. The price has always been high.
The price of such a large piece of [Hanxing Meteor Iron] that can carry spiritual power is hard to say.
This thing will be very valuable when someone needs it!
For example, Su Lun himself.
A slight modification of the runes would be as effective in suppressing mental distortion as the clown mask on his face.
He glanced at the amulet and then at the freckled girl in front of him. Without hiding his thoughts, he asked directly: "Miss Katyusha, your amulet is indeed very useful to me. Please tell me what price I have to pay to buy it.
it?"
Putting this thing on the table made him feel that his restless mood was soothed.
If you keep it by your side, if you really encounter an emergency, it may have a miraculous "life-saving" effect.
"If you need it, I'll give it to you."
Katyusha shook her head and showed an innocent smile, "The teacher taught us that stars are gifts from nature to human beings. Even we astrologers only keep them temporarily. They will meet people who need them.
.”
"Sent to me?"
After saying this, Su Lun felt that he shouldn't take the amulet.
Unexpectedly, I didn’t redeem my things, but the other party gave me something as a gift?
Does it mean exchange?
If it were anyone else, Su Lun would still think that the other party had bad intentions.
But the girl in front of him seemed to have bright stars in her eyes, and he couldn't bear any ill will.
"yes."
Katyusha seemed to be unprepared and told a stranger the purpose of her trip, "This time I came to the far north ice field for training. In fact, I also came to look for meteorites on the ice field. Only in the vast white snow
Inside, they will be easily discovered."
""
Su Lun didn't know how to speak due to the other party's attitude.
The goblin communicator must be taken back, and if [Seraya's Blessing] hadn't been given by his teacher, he really wanted to exchange it for the talisman at this moment.
Su Lun also expressed his attitude and said: "No, in the eyes of alchemists, all things are equal. Sorry, Miss Katyusha, we don't know each other, please give me a price. Otherwise, I won't
I will accept your gift."
"It's really not necessary. Look, I have a lot more."
Katyusha looked unconcerned.
As she spoke, she took out a box like a silly girl from a landlord's house.
When I opened it, I saw at least a dozen large and small meteorites of various colors inside, including blue, purple, fluorescent, and jet black.
This box of stones would be worth more than a box of top-quality gems if it were taken to an auction house!
Su Lun looked at it without much fluctuation in his eyes.
But I also saw that this girl is really not short of money.
Katyusha looked at him and seemed to have no intention of wavering. She thought about it and said: "Anthracene, if you really want to pay, give me a gold coin."
As she spoke, she took out two more rings.
Although the freckled girl looked a little reluctant to let go, she said generously: "Sir, you need these two rings more, then they should be returned to their original owners."
""
Su Lun didn't expect to get things so easily.
He felt that it was pointless to talk about money at this moment. After thinking about it, he took out a gold coin, put it on the table, and said seriously: "I owe you a favor, Miss Katyusha."
The things are valuable, and his favors are not bad either.
Hearing this, Katyusha readily agreed: "Okay!"
She picked up the gold coin with an innocent smile on her face
Suellen left the cafe.
The girl he met named Katyusha got his things back, and he felt very happy.
However, there are more doubts.
In this world, no one will be nice to you for no reason.
Especially strangers.
Either this Katyusha is really a hothouse flower from a big family, well-educated and innocent;
Either
This is very good social skills.
Su Lun is proficient in a lot of strange knowledge, and he prefers the latter.
The biggest reason is the perception of her erratic soul fire.
But no matter how suspicious you are, the fact is that when Su Lun gets it, he has an extra talisman.
This favor is worth it no matter what.
He also suspected that the other party was up to no good.
But no matter how I think about it, I feel that this may not be true.
It was an accident that the ring entered the black market, and it must have been a coincidence that Katyusha bought it.
What's more, Su Lun feels that he is not worthy of being plotted now.
If it was an enemy, it would be someone other than Grand Duke Raphael, or someone from the Regadi family.
But no matter how you think about it, you shouldn't be an enemy.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have sat down to have a good negotiation and even given gifts.
He also guessed that the other party might see that he had some special abilities, or that magical "astrology", or the "teacher" she kept mentioning
Astrologers have some ability to predict advantages and avoid disadvantages. Maybe she wants to have a good relationship?
Su Lun didn't think too much about it. He had omniscient eyes and wasn't afraid of things being tampered with.
After getting the communicator, he walked on the street and dialed Mr. Jing's communication immediately, "Senior sister, I have a question for you."
Not long after, a response came from the communicator: "You want to ask about mental aberration?"
"Um."
Mr. Jing guessed everything, and Su Lun was not surprised.
He has something to do with [Thanatos's scapegoat], and he, his senior sister, is the only insider.
What's more, with the communicator, she can feel the location, life and death of everyone in the mirror organization.
This also saves a lot of explanation time.
The communicator pondered for a moment, and then came a response: "I have seen someone use the 'Death Puppet' twice before, but the end result was not very good. The mental distortion is irreversible, and it is very troublesome to solve."
That's the advantage of having someone behind you, who knows everything you ask.
If this thing appears in the Dawn Ruins, it must have been used by someone before.
It's troublesome, but it doesn't mean it's unsolvable.
Su Lun listened patiently.
Mr. Jing added: "If you want to solve it, firstly, you come to me to help you suppress it, but treating the symptoms but not the root cause will eventually make the problem bigger and bigger; secondly, find a higher-level spiritual power secret method; thirdly, find
Some special soul-cursed objects are forcibly suppressed, but that kind of thing is hard to come by. I will notify other members of the Mirror Organization to help you pay attention; there are also some special ones, such as the 'Fountain of Youth' that can cure all diseases, or
There seems to be similar research in my father's notes. You can look at your situation and consider which one to choose."
"Fountain of Youth?"
"It's a very dangerous island in the West Sea. My father has been there once. A thousand years have passed, and I'm not sure it's still there. Besides, I'm not sure I can go, so I don't recommend you go now."
""
She is worthy of being the daughter of a demigod family, this is her background.
Even if she hadn't seen it before, her father had seen it too.
Her father had never seen it, but he had also heard of it.
When Su Lun heard the first point, he breathed a sigh of relief. At least he had a "guaranteed" plan.
But the latter part is really unreliable.
What I am learning now is [Starry Sky Visualization Technique], which is already the top spiritual power secret method in the world. The higher level can only be "divine magic", which is unrealistic.
There are also those special cursed objects that are definitely hard to find.
Just when Su Lun was still thinking about a more reliable plan, suddenly, Mr. Jing asked again: "Oh, by the way. Are you in the North now? There is another way. The great druid of the Daru tribe is
They are good at healing, and they may have a way to solve mental aberrations. However, there may be no archdruids now. You can ask them and give me a few words by the way."
Suellen: "What does Archdruid mean?"
Mr. Mirror: "A druid of level seven or above."
""
Su Lun felt that maybe not.
If the Daru tribe had seventh-level warriors, it would be impossible for this tribe to be captured by slave hunters every day.
But suddenly, Su Lun thought about how he suddenly heard a whisper during the negotiation and almost lost his mind, and asked again: "Oh, by the way! Senior sister, I still have some questions I want to ask you."
He explained his situation clearly in a few words.
Obviously, Mr. Jing was also surprised, "Has your reaper talent awakened for the second time?"
"Um."
"It's very good. After all, it is very difficult to awaken S-level talents for the second time."
Mr. Jing praised him and then explained: "That kind of whispering is different from the situation of using a 'suicide doll'. This is the whisper of the dead heard when the law of death communicates between heaven and earth. It is normal. It does not solve the problem of your mental distortion.
Before, it was best not to use that ability less."
"oh."
When Su Lun heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After hanging up the communication, Su Lun had a general understanding of his current situation.
Now that he has the [Star Amulet], he estimates that as long as he doesn't use the Shadow of Death casually, it can last for at least a few months.
Thinking about it, he planned to ask a Daru tribe first.
After all, it is very convenient. You can find many Daru people in the slave market.
It would be better if there really was a great druid, or if there were some solutions left to completely solve the problem of his mental distortion.
