Being wary of strangers has long been Jason's instinct.
Just like eating and drinking water.
However, the person outside the door is different.
Just when Jason raised the shotgun and pointed the muzzle at the door, the man's whole body froze.
His naturally sharp sixth sense told this guy that if he dared to open the door directly, something bad would definitely happen.
The man who followed his heart immediately changed his strategy.
He stood upright, raised his hand and knocked on the door——
Boom, boom.
"Hello, is Mr. Jason here?"
"I am Taniel, the teacher at Deer Academy."
After the knock on the door, Taniel immediately introduced himself and told his origins very simply.
Deer Academy?
Jason, who didn't have any memory inheritance, didn't know where it was. However, the name of this college made him very fond of it. It was definitely... not because the venison was delicious.
Still not lowering the gun, Jason said:
"Come in."
The door opened, and a tall and thin young man with red hair, holding a hat and cane in his hand, was standing there.
However, the smile that should have been sunny and friendly was full of stiffness.
Tanier saw the large-caliber shotgun pointed at him - he didn't know much about firearms and didn't recognize the shotguns that had just appeared recently.
Without any hesitation, Taniel raised his hands.
"Your Excellency, Night Watchman, trust me."
"I don't mean any harm."
"I'm just here to finalize some deals."
Taniel said this.
trade?
Jason raised his eyebrows, doubts appearing in his eyes.
He confirmed that he did not recognize the other party.
How to deal with a stranger who wants to do business with him?
Jason raised the shotgun in his hand high and aimed the shotgun at the opponent's head.
Suddenly, Taniel was sweating.
He had heard that the Night Watchmen were difficult to deal with, but he always thought that was just rumors.
But now?
He deeply understood the truth of the rumors.
"I heard you hunted some Laughers and a Submariner, and I'd like to purchase the claws of the former and the tentacles of the latter."
Taniel spoke faster and spoke truthfully.
"No."
Jason answered simply.
The 'Laugher' had already finished eating, and his paws were gnawing on it as if it were a paw.
After the 'Submariner' is roasted, it goes directly into the stomach, not to mention the tentacles, not even the skin is left.
At the same time, until this time, Jason once again remembered that he wanted to make some dried meat as a backup plan.
"Damn it!"
"Why did I forget again?"
"I must be so excited when I can improve [Protection from Evil]."
"next time!"
"I will definitely remember it next time!"
Jason warned himself.
Then, he looked again at Taniel, who claimed to be a teacher at Deer Academy.
Obviously, this so-called Deer Academy should be linked to the 'mysterious side'.
Moreover, there is a considerable intelligence network in Lord City. Otherwise, it is impossible for the other party to know his identity and the monster he is hunting. In addition, the other party appeared in the dormitory of the police station openly.
A college that cooperates with Lord City officials and is involved in the 'mysterious side'?
Moreover, the 'mysterious side' has the practice of face-to-face transactions.
At least in Lord City, this is the norm.
Plus his status as a consultant.
It shows that Lord City officials do not reject the ‘mysterious side’.
Based on the other party's performance, Jason thought silently.
Taniel, on the other hand, became more and more frightened under Jason's scrutiny.
At this time, Taniel had already begun to regret coming to the door so rashly.
Just when Taniel was about to find an excuse and leave in a hurry, Jason suddenly spoke.
"Would you like the scales of the Grits Hound and the hair of Kemetia?"
"The former is intact, the latter is a little burnt."
Jason pointed to a corner of the kitchen.
The delicious food made Jason happy, but Jason didn't eat all the food.
At least Jason refused scales, hair and the like.
Taniel followed the direction of Jason's finger and immediately saw the scales and Kemetia hair in the kitchen trash can.
"Full scales!"
"The hair is a bit burnt, and most of the curly parts cannot be used, but some of the remaining ones are still usable!"
After careful identification, Tanier came to a conclusion.
However, the way the two items are stored is a bit strange.
Why put it in the trash can?
To cover up?
Taniel guessed.
"What do you need?"
Taniel, who was guessing in his mind, did not pause and asked more humbly.
Being able to hunt a grizzly tungsten hound is nothing, but keeping the scales of a grizzly tungsten hound intact is a big deal, let alone Kemetia.
That kind of monster that looks like a baboon is one of the monsters closest to monsters.
No direct quotation, but asking what is needed?
Is it ‘bartering’?
Jason guessed in his heart, and then asked.
"what do you have?"
Without knowing the market conditions, he couldn't tell what he wanted.
Although he really wanted to just tell me to give me some monster meat or something.
But the caution in his nature still made him choose to find out the market situation first.
"I have a potion that can make drunk people sober up quickly."
"There is also a potion that can make people excited and stay up all night."
"There is also a medicine that can treat wounds and prevent them from getting infected."
"You can choose different ones and make two."
"Or two of each."
Facing Jason's inquiry, Tanier introduced him familiarly.
Sure enough, it’s bartering!
Jason, who confirmed this, shook his head slightly.
"not enough!"
He said this.
Although he doesn't know the market situation, he knows that the bidder in any transaction will leave some leeway.
This is nature.
And the facts proved Jason right.
Facing Jason's words, Taniel subconsciously wanted to refute, but after looking at the gun in Jason's hand, he immediately showed a slightly stiff smile.
"There is only one potion to treat the wound!"
"You can choose any two of the remaining two potions."
"If Kemetia's hair is normal, not burnt or curled, you can exchange it for more, but now this is a limit."
"If you don't believe it, you can ask at any of Lorde's 'mysterious gatherings' and no one will charge a higher price than me."
Tenniel tried his best to keep his smile as he spoke.
But no matter how you look at it, it feels like you are about to cry.
Mysterious gathering!
Jason's attention was attracted by this word.
There is no doubt that the same people will always form one circle after another. Each small circle has its own rules. It is not easy to enter a small circle.
However, there is a good candidate in front of me.
Jason looked at Tenniel, and when the latter's heart trembled, he said slowly:
"I just came to Lord's and I'm not familiar with the parties here."
"I can be your introducer."
Tenniel said immediately.
Then, Tenniel put down three potions and got the scales and hair he wanted.
At the same time, footsteps sounded again in the corridor.
This time it's an acquaintance: Bundy.
A second after Jason heard the footsteps, Taniel heard them too.
The man who claimed to be a teacher at Deer Academy stood up and said goodbye.
"There is a meeting tomorrow. I will come here to pick you up when it gets dark."
Taniel said this when leaving.
When the other party opened the door, Bundy had already arrived at the door.
Looking at Taniel, Bundy frowned but didn't say much, while the former bowed slightly to signal.
Then, under Bundy's watch, he left the third floor.
After confirming that the other party came downstairs, Bundy closed the door and walked into the room.
Sitting opposite Jason, the sheriff said directly:
