Part 2 The Faceless Man Chapter 236 – A Better Choice
Queens, the luxurious villa of Earl Hall’s family.
The cold air was kept out of the windows and walls, and the house was warm with an elegant fireplace.
Audrey Hall was receiving measurements from the fashion designer Mrs. Ginia so that the other party could conceptualize her New Year’s ball outfit based on her recent state of body and temperament.
At this time, Anne, the personal maid, came to her ear and lowered her voice:
”Mrs. Yslante is visiting.”
Feedback so soon? Audrey was delighted in her heart, but there was no obvious change on the surface as she held a light smile and said:
”Ask her to wait in my drawing room for, well, five minutes.”
”Drawing room?” Anne asked back in surprise.
”Yes, I’d like to ask her to admire the oil painting I recently completed, she says that what is depicted in a relaxed state can easily show the true thoughts and emotions of the heart.” Audrey explained in a not too fast or slow tone.
Anne was instantly enlightened:
”Yes, ma’am.”
In less than five minutes, Audrey entered the drawing room and saw Yslante, who was admiring the paintings on the wall.
”That’s Mr. Sensi’s Inner Night, a masterpiece that makes you feel at peace.” She introduced Yslante twice with a smile.
”Sensi’s Inner Night? The Tasok Gazette’s top ten of the top 100 paintings of the century last year?” Yslante was obviously the type of person who read the newspaper often.
And as an extraordinary person in the “viewer” pathway, she had a good enough memory.
”Yes.” Audrey responded simply, as if it were a trivial matter.
”I can’t believe I’ve had the honor of seeing an authentic ……” Yslante looked up at the painting again.
She swallowed back the follow-up “It’s worth at least an estate”, not wanting to appear too vulgar.
Audrey didn’t bother to introduce the other paintings, but gave Annie an excuse to leave, and signaled with her eyes for Suzie, the big blonde dog, to “stand guard” outside the door.
Susie read her cue without a hitch, wagged her tail, and ran out the door with a wiggle of her butt.
Yslante closed the door to her room and returned to the easel, taking the initiative before Audrey could ask:
”The properties of the Human Skin Phantom and the magic potion formula of the ‘Wind Favored One’, we have both, but there is no need to sell them unless the other party can offer a return that cannot be refused.”
Being willing to talk meant that there was hope! Audrey’s blue eyes turned slightly and she laughed softly:
”What do you hope to gain?”
Yslante smoothed down her hair and answered in a well-prepared manner:
”2500 pounds for the properties of the Human Skin Phantom, and 3000 pounds for the magic potion formula of the ‘Wind Favored One’.”
The premium is a lot ah …… Audrey didn’t find this expensive, but only exclaimed that the Psycho-Alchemy Society’s premium was more than 50%.
–According to the description of the “inverted man”, under normal circumstances, the price of the magic potion formula of sequence 6 is less than 2,000 pounds, but the higher the sequence is close to, the magic potion formula circulates less and less, it is very difficult to buy, there is no normal situation, more importantly, even if you happen to meet, it is difficult to confirm the price. come across it, it would be difficult to confirm the authenticity.
At this time, Yslante added another sentence:
”It’s fine if the other party can exchange it for a magical item with roughly equal value.”
In other words, you want the magical item more, so you can accept a reduction in price. …… The Psycho Alchemy Society is one of the youngest secretive organizations, so its accumulation in this area is obviously not as good as the others… …Audrey pursed her lips:
”I’ll feed it back, but there’s no guarantee they’ll accept it.”
She wasn’t the least bit worried that the Psycho-Alchemy Society would be able to find out that she hadn’t been involved in Extraordinary Gatherings at all lately, because her schedule was quite tight, with afternoon tea, music lessons, dinners, dances, equestrian training, language lessons, dance lessons, and so on, alternating, with too many chances to come into contact with different groups of people, so that maybe one of the dinners would be a cover-up for an Extraordinary Gathering, or maybe the teacher of the music lessons would be a senior Extraordinary that was hiding in the The Psychological Alchemy Society that can’t act openly in the dark is almost impossible to investigate clearly.
Speaking of which, Audrey asked with slight curiosity:
”Teacher Yslante, I originally thought that you wouldn’t sell the ‘Wind Favored One’ magic potion formula, it’s already at the Sequence 6 rank.”
”Hehe, having the opportunity to spread it out might be more useful to us.” Yslante replied vaguely.
In her heart, although Miss Audrey was a highly valued new member of the organization, she was still a new member, and there were many things she could not know.
Why? Audrey suppressed her doubts and smiled sweetly, asking innocently:
”Teacher Yslante, if this deal can succeed, can I be counted as making a contribution?”
Yslante immediately lost his smile:
”Count.”
……
Klein was “busy” for another whole morning, and it was not until he returned to Minsk Street, filled his stomach, and prepared to rest, that he had the time and opportunity to go above the gray mist to listen to the prayers.
”Ms. Justice” also has someone on the side of the shadow of the shadow of the ghost? This is really, either don’t come, or come two at a time …… “Psycho Alchemy Society” as a hidden organization, resources are still qualified …… Klein suddenly fell into how to pick the Happy troubles.
Although counting the 500 pounds not yet given by the “inverted man”, he only had 1,335 pounds in cash, but this did not prevent him from seriously considering the request of the Psycho Alchemy Society.
After thinking about it for about ten seconds, he first conveyed the words of “justice” to the “inverted man” to see what kind of choice the other party would make.
……
The “Justice” message was sent to the “Inverted Man” to see what the other side would choose to do. The “Hanged Man” Alger Wilson, who is still in the city of generosity, the capital of the Rothschild Islands, seems to have been knocked on the head by someone.
After getting the “Blue Avenger” and becoming the captain of the ship, he sometimes played the role of pirates, and sometimes appeared in the image of the law enforcement officers, and secretly eliminated several groups of pirates, but even so, the total value of the loot obtained was not more than 2000 pounds, part of which had to be distributed to the sailors underneath, of course, this does not count the captured ships and artillery, which must be handed over to the Storm. artillery, which had to be turned over to the Storm Church.
This makes Alger often sigh most of the pirates in fact is not rich, the other side are used to just harvested on the life of profligate, spirits, barbecue, prostitutes, marijuana and gambling drained the pirates of their pockets.
Unless you meet a pirate team with extraordinary people, it is really difficult to get rich …… Alger paced back and forth a few times, and quickly made up his mind.
He took out a mask made of gold from the pocket of his personal clothing.
That mask has outlined roughly above the five senses, they form the look of very ancient jungle primitive people.
Alger sat down and humbly whispered the honorable name of “The Fool,” and concluded:
”…… I am willing to exchange this magical item for the ‘Wind Favored One’ magic potion formula.”
”By wearing this mask, the user will become extremely calm and free of emotional ups and downs, and he will also be able to gain extreme recovery, exaggerated speed and excellent strength, as well as master a certain amount of black magic and primal curse spells.
”Its disadvantage is that as the number of times it is used increases, the wearer will become less and less human, more and more cold, and eventually think of himself as a god.”
……
Sitting in the seat belonging to the Fool, Klein looked at the 500 pound bill in front of him, five strands of dark blue hair as thick as small snakes, and a gold-colored antique mask, tapping his fingers on the edge of the long table, and thought hard about what magical items he had that he could bring to the table in exchange:
”The All Black Eye”? This is the main ingredient of Sequence 5 “Secret Puppet Master”, waiting for the little “sun” to get the way to remove the mental pollution ……
The “Black Emperor” card? That’s a no-no, and it’s worth many times more than the human skin Phantom trait ……
Mr. Aztec’s Copper Whistle? It only serves the purpose of summoning a messenger, and it’s an important item for communication, so it’s impossible to sell it ……
The copper whistle of the Spirit Order member who left a white feather inside the coffin? Again, it can only summon a messenger, and the object on the other side of the messenger seems to be dangerous ……
”Sun Brooch”? I’m going to use this for myself, it can effectively compensate for my shortcomings ……
”Master key”? There are too many secrets when it comes to Mr. Door, plus it’s a far cry from the properties of the Human Skin Phantom in terms of value ……
Biotoxin vials? This would go very well with my spirit state, and if used properly could even allow me to take on a group of Extraordinary Ones on my own ……
Demon Hunting Bullet, Purification Bullet, Exorcism Bullet? These are not magical items, they are expendable extraordinary weapons and are worth much less ……
Book of Secrets? This is also not a magical item, the Psycho-Alchemy Society should not lack similar knowledge ……
As of now, only the Inquisitor’s extraordinary properties can be sold, but the other party wants magical items, and the trading place is in Berkland, so it’s easy to expose the information of the “Black Emperor”, a grand theft… …
Kraven took this opportunity to sort out what he had, and finally came up with a perfect idea.
He first manifested Mr. World, manipulated the other into a prayer position, and responded hoarsely:
”…… I’ll accept the price of 2500 pounds, but give me two days to raise the funds.”
Immediately after that, Klein threw the images of the Hanged Man and the World’s reply into the crimson star symbolizing Ms. Justice.
……
After receiving the reply from Ms. Justice that there was no problem, Klein waited patiently in Minsk Street for the rest of the afternoon.
Until dusk approached, “mechanical heart” member Carlson pulled the doorbell of his house.
Kline did not ask many questions, followed the other party all the way to the West Byron dockyard near the lever church, into the building next door to the three-story house.
The sign here read:
”Bakerland Mechanical Research Society”.
Good Academic …… Klein suddenly thought of the Blackthorn Security Company and pulled the corner of his mouth into a smile.
Led by Carlson, he passed through some odd contraptions and was in a windowless room.
On the long table in the room were a number of objects with strong spiritual properties, including the properties of human skin ghosts and “ghost frames” covered with black cloth, but there were no properties left behind after the death of those extraordinary people.
Obviously, the executives of the “Mechanical Heart” don’t want me to know the extraordinary characteristics of the indestructible and conservation laws …… Klein was not surprised.
”You can pick one.” The unhatted Iconser gestured to the long table.
Klein looked at it “carefully” a few times and sighed:
”There’s nothing I want.
”How much can I get if I convert it to gold pounds?”
He had already thought about not getting the Human Skin Phantom trait from the Mechanical Heart.
Although it could be explained as a need to make certain magical items or try unique ritual magic, there was a chance of revealing his own sequence, and Klein didn’t want to take that risk when a better option appeared.
So, he was going to take the money purely!
This would not only help him get the 2500 pounds that the Psycho-Alchemy Society had asked for, but it would also help to put the “Mechanical Heart” off its guard.
Visibly relieved, Ikonser straightened his hair and smiled as he replied:
”1500 pounds.
”However, we encourage you to pick money, so that totals £2000.”
Klein instantly smiled a genuine smile:
”Good!”
