The champagne almost spurted out, but luckily Victor held his own. He suppressed the shock in his heart and asked calmly: "Ten...one hundred thousand farka?"
Xiqin lay lazily on the soft sofa cushions and nodded slightly.
Realizing that he heard correctly, Victor's expression showed a hint of embarrassment.
Originally, he thought that it would be no problem to buy a fanatical ghost fire with his own financial resources, but who knows... he still thought of the value of that thing too simply.
"Actually, the price of anti-death catalysts is not fixed. The key lies in how urgent your need is..."
Siqin said, taking another sip of champagne, and then refilling the glass after finishing it.
Judging from his tone, he should be willing to inquire about the seller for Victor, and even be willing to finance Victor.
But... Victor would not ask the richest man for money rashly. That would be too low a price. Even if he didn't care, he still had to think about Mr. Yi's vest.
He pretended to be calm, held his chin and thought, then stood up and said to Siqin: "It can be a consideration, but I still have time and can try other options..."
Show yourself that you are not so eager, at least you will not lose your composure in front of Xiqin.
Even if you have to ask him for help in the end, you still have to save some dignity.
But no matter what, one hundred thousand francs is a huge number for Victor now, and he has ranked the Berkeley family at the bottom of his mind.
There is another way. Victor can check in the inner data room of the Anti-Suppression Department to see if there are any clues about the growth of that kind of item.
So, after sleeping one night at Stormwind Villa, Victor returned to Renekton Silver Road early the next morning and hurried all the way to the third floor, preparing to visit the mysterious library.
There was still no one at the front desk on the third floor. Victor glanced at the empty space, where the scent of Miss Charlotte still lingered.
I wonder what happened to her. Is she on sick leave?
Victor didn't have time to think about that lady for the moment. After all, he and she still had a bad relationship that he couldn't figure out, so he quickly ran past and entered the data room.
This time, he collected all the information on the three anti-death items at once and looked through them one by one.
To find such items, you must first know their characteristics, patterns of appearance, distribution areas, etc.
Then he learned that the Wild Fire and the Dead Vine of Time were both plants. The former was named Fanatic Fire because its shape resembled a burning flame.
As soon as you hear the name of the withered vine, you will know that its appearance is similar to tree roots or vines. It has the most ordinary shape. The way to identify it is that it is dry and immortal, and it will not become fragile no matter how long it is left.
Crush it and it will break.
The radiance of concentration is the most difficult thing to figure out. It is a ball of free light, mysterious and impermanent, and is usually stored in a glass bottle.
According to the records of the Ministry of Defense and Suppression, the place where the Zealot Fire grows is very rare and must be a place of extreme death and fear.
So, what is a place of extreme death and fear?
The data did not give a detailed explanation, but said that it cannot be inferred based on common sense. For example, in a battlefield where large-scale deaths occur, the fanatical ghost fire still cannot grow...
And those death areas that are inherently dangerous, such as poisonous gas swamps, near volcanic craters, ultra-low temperature ice fields, etc., will also not grow the Frenzy Fire.
The only recorded event is a historical event said to have come from an esoteric second seer from the Path of the Stars, whose esoteric name was "The Plague Doctor."
He can cure diseases and spread diseases.
And for some unknown reason, the seer infected everyone in a town with an inexplicable virus, killing tens of thousands of people, and was finally killed in the swamp by witch hunters.
Because of the spread of the disease, the town was later blockaded and burned down by the local lords.
Based on some clues in historical records, the Anti-Suppression Department inferred that the other party was probably performing some kind of ritual at that time, which was related to another path sequence - the devil.
Later, some guy who was not afraid of death found two Frenzy Fires in that abandoned town.
But that plague happened many years ago, and the diseases in the ruins had long since disappeared, so it was not considered a place of death at that time.
Based on the only information available, Victor concluded that the place where the Frenzy Fire appeared should be related to the Invisible Technique, and the Invisible Technique also caused a large number of deaths, which may induce severe fear in people.
The fanatical ghost fire that was originally able to resolve fear was probably born from the fear caused by the invisible technique.
As for the dead vines over time, there are even fewer records from the Department of Defense and Suppression.
However, the records are very strange.
Some people have collected dead vines of time in the wild, and others have discovered that those things have grown on people who have died...
Finally, there is the Glory of Concentration, which appears very randomly and does not require people to search for it deliberately, because it always appears in places where there are people and is in a free state, and needs to be collected with a bottle.
This is somewhat similar to the spiritual element in Misu.
However, in comparison, there are many spiritual elements in the forest, and they are generally used as materials for potions, so it is much easier to collect.
After transcribing the information about Fanatic Fire alone, Victor left the data room.
…
On the other side, a telegram from Sanfran arrived at the police station in Renekton.
That is an encrypted communication and will only be sent to people at the supervisory level and above.
The content inside is very simple, which is the intelligence revealed by Elord - the Threshold Wound Society is about to assassinate the president.
The White Crown attaches great importance to this, and issued an order to the Inspection Bureau with the highest requirements. It must smash the organization's plan before the election and kill them all.
In the huge ultra-modern office on the top floor, an old man with decayed skin sat on the thick seat, his face lurking in the shadows, with only one eye exposed, ruthless and gloomy.
"Those people...are they finally going to take action?"
The white-haired young man standing in front of the seat held his breath. Facing the director of the Inspection Bureau, he even swallowed his saliva carefully.
"They... will definitely take action during the lecture tour, but... we don't know the specific city... the specific location..." Deputy Director Gelfis said very cautiously.
Trini Mark…
The most mysterious director of the Inspection Bureau, the real boss behind the scenes.
Sitting there, he exuded the invisible pressure of a villainous BOSS.
After hearing the deputy director's speech, the old director sneered.
The thick seat turned around on its own, leading his gaze to the floor-to-ceiling windows at the back.
The director's face gradually became clearer under the natural light, and his eyes looked into the distance, taking in a panoramic view of the large city in front of him, as if he was the real controller of Renekton.
"For the murder of George Floyd, most people will focus on the Progressives, but I know very clearly that the purpose of the Wound Council... is actually that seemingly stupid law..."
