"So the master who captured the creatures from another world was killed?"
Zoro tilted his head.
"Who knows."
"But I think the person who can capture such a powerful creature from another world is probably not an ordinary person."
Old Peter spread his hands and said that he didn't know anything else.
Sauron also understands the reason why holding a treasure is a crime. If he did not have a certain amount of power, then he would be no different from a child holding gold in the market.
"who cares."
"If there is really any danger, I will hide in the territory and not come out."
"With the protection of my true body, no one in this world should be able to threaten me."
With this thought, the worry in Zoro's heart was much lessened, but he also needed to seize the time to strengthen his own strength and start the trip as soon as possible.
"Let's start working on it once we get back."
Sauron secretly decided in his heart.
"Since Boss Peter already knows the origin of these things, I guess he has some ideas in mind."
"Lord Zoro, please wait a moment."
"I'll do an appraisal on these guys first."
With that said, Old Peter turned and walked towards the shop next door.
But as soon as he entered the door, he saw Hana, who had entered the store before him, blocking his path.
"Old man, um~"
Hana put one hand on her waist and opened her other hand in front of Old Peter.
Looking at the movements of Hana's hands, Old Peter was naturally very familiar with it, so he whispered in a low voice:
"I'll give it to you in a minute. What a little money addict."
Sideways past Hana, Old Peter went straight to the counter in the store.
A large number of empty wine bottles were lying crookedly on top, and a heavy animal skin book was placed at the bottom of the wine bottle.
But Old Peter's goal this time was not these things.
Squat down.
Open the locker at the bottom of the counter.
After rummaging through the cabinet for a while, Old Peter finally found what he wanted in the corner of the cabinet - a transparent round bead the size of a meatball.
Old Peter wiped off the dust accumulated on the beads, and then put them into his pocket.
"I haven't used this thing for a long time."
"I hope it's not broken, otherwise there will be some trouble."
Looking at the beads in his hand, Old Peter said to himself.
"Girl, this is yours."
Old Peter, who left the counter, put a silver coin into Hana's hand. This was the silver coin he took out of the drawer when he left the counter.
"so much?"
Looking at the silver coins in her hand, Hana felt a little weird.
In the past, when she brought business to Old Peter, the old guy would only give her ten copper coins at most at one time, but how could she directly give her silver coins like today.
This is the first time Hana has encountered this situation.
But every time the old guy pays, he pays according to how much he can earn. If he can directly pay with a silver coin, he should make a lot of money.
"I'm so envious!"
Thinking of this, Hana's mouth felt a little sour for some reason.
"Girl, this business is quite big."
"If you operate it properly, you should be able to make a lot of money."
"Oh~"
Hana is not interested in how much money the old guy can make, and it's not her own money.
Although I feel a little envious.
But it's just envy.
In her opinion, she and the other party only have a purely cooperative relationship. Instead of thinking about how much money the other party makes, she should be more concerned about how to spend the extra silver coins on hand.
"Girl, maybe this time is your chance?"
"This is your perfect chance to get away from that group of people."
At the last moment before leaving the store, Old Peter kindly reminded Hana.
Old Peter believed in his eyes, and Sauron, who could hunt these creatures from another world, was definitely not an ordinary nobleman.
And he also learned a little bit about Hana's situation.
Maybe that group of people themselves don't have the ability to offend, but what they don't have the ability to do, this group of nobles may be able to do it now.
therefore,
For the sake of the little girl's future, Old Peter felt that he needed to remind her.
Because if you continue to stay in that place, the other party will be finished sooner or later.
"It's up to you to take care of it, stinky old man."
Looking at Old Peter's disappearing back, Hana murmured softly, but couldn't help but clenched her hands tightly.
Hana knew exactly what the "opportunity" Old Peter was talking about. No one longed for freedom more than she did. She was thinking about getting out of the devil's cave-like environment all the time.
It's a pity that there has never been a chance.
Although Old Peter sometimes gave her a little help, it was limited to this. Hana knew that he would not offend that group of people for her.
Maybe the group of people themselves are not that powerful, but what is really troublesome are the guys behind the group of people.
Once, Hana secretly overheard some fragmentary information while the other party was drinking.
The leader behind that group of bastards is a man named Haas, who is said to be a peripheral member of an organization called the "Kaxiu Sect".
Although Hana didn't know how powerful the Kaxiu Sect organization was, she had asked the old guy for information about this organization.
But when the old guy heard these three words, his whole expression became nervous.
Although it only lasted a short moment, Hana captured it.
From then on, Hana gave up the idea that Old Peter could save her from her suffering.
.......
On the other side, Zoro looked at Old Peter's leaving figure with some confusion.
"Authentication?"
He didn't know what exactly Old Peter wanted to identify.
But before he could ask, the other party had already walked into the room quickly.
Helpless, Zoro had no choice but to wait patiently for the other party to come back. Fortunately, it didn't take long before Old Peter walked out of the room.
"Lord Zoro, I have kept you waiting for a long time."
Old Peter smiled apologetically.
"That's not the case."
Facing Old Peter's politeness, Sauron just shook his head.
"I just don't know if Boss Peter has found what he needs?"
"Found it, found it."
"Lord Sauron, look, this is it."
Said,
Old Peter took out the transparent ball he had just found in the cabinet from his pocket.
"As long as you put this bead into the mouth of a creature from another world, you can measure the remaining magic power in its body after a short while."
"The higher the magic power contained, the darker the color."
"However, once a monster dies, the magic power in its body will slowly drain away."
"So there may be some deviation in this value."
Old Peter explained to Sauron the function of the bead in his hand.
"Actually, Boss Peter doesn't need to go to such trouble."
"Although these creatures do come from another world, there is actually no magic power in their bodies."
"So if you take out this bead, there may be some..."
Zoro did not say the extra two words.
However, the transparent beads in Old Peter's hands aroused Zoro's curiosity.
"If I have such a bead on my hand, doesn't it mean that I can easily measure how much magic power is in my body?"
