The Faceless Man Part 2 Chapter 60 – The Recipe
Wednesday night, 7:55 p.m., in the alley behind The Brave.
Klein had circled around for a while and finally found the darkened house, based on his memory.
He was wearing a gray and blue worker’s uniform, a cap, and a beard, so that no one would be able to associate him with the guy who had bought the Black Snake item for luck.
It’s best that old Mr. “Eye of Wisdom” and the “Pharmacist” guy can’t recognize me either, otherwise a newly promoted person who just became an extraordinary person by luck, and can come up with several magic potion recipes after only a week, can always make people think a lot, and have to be suspicious! …… Klein thrust his hands into his coat pockets each and felt for the Aztec copper whistle, the common tarot cards, and the refilled runes.
This worker’s uniform of his was also specially modified by a tailor, with a number of small pockets stuffed with metal vials containing things like powdered herbs and pure dew essences, respectively.
After inhaling and exhaling slowly, Klein pulled out the iron mask that only covered the upper half of his face from the inside of his clothes, initially completing his disguise.
Immediately after that, he used the ability of the “clown” to control his own expression and the subtle movements of his body, changed his walking posture, and paralyzed his facial nerves to make sure that there was a clear difference between himself and his previous self.
However, I’m not sure what the old man “Wisdom Eye” relies on to recognize people, and he can only do this to such an extent. Hey, it would be nice if I was already a “faceless person”…… , but if I were to do so, I But if that’s the case, there’s no need for me to come to this low-end gathering of extraordinary people …… Klein stood outside, calm for a few seconds, raised his right hand, knocked on the door, seven heavy, one light, six long, one short.
There was little wait before the small wooden panel on the door was silently pulled open and an eye floated to the rear, scrutinizing the visitor up and down.
Two or three seconds later, the door creaked open and the Wisdom Eye’s attendant handed Klein a black robe with a hood.
Keeping his expression impassive, Klein quickly slipped on the robe and pulled the hood down to hide his face from the shadows.
On his way toward the sitting room, he deliberately adopted an unaccustomed range of steps and tried to eliminate the feeling of awkwardness.
Inside the dim, deep room, where only the light of a single candle gently wavered, a number of the party members had already arrived, and instead of picking a corner seat as he had done before, Klein sat down graciously on a high stool near the center.
In short, everything about his appearance was different from the previous two times!
And this is exactly where the Joker’s ability to mirror himself in his mind and have initial control over it excels.
In the quiet silence of the living room, the time passed, and finally, the old man “Wisdom Eye” looked at the clock on the wall, and spoke in an old man’s voice:
”Time’s up, let’s start, no need to wait for late friends.”
As soon as his words fell, Klein immediately said in a deep, hoarse voice:
”I want to sell magic potion formulas.”
”Sequence 9 ‘Glorifier’ and Sequence 8 ‘Prayer to the Light Man’ from the Church of the Eternal Blaze.”
”220 pounds for the former and 450 pounds for the latter.”
This was the most suitable option after he had thought about it, the “Audience” and “Mind Reader” involved the Psychological Alchemy Society, a hidden organization that was still active in the Kingdom of Ruen and in Beckland, and taking them out hastily might cause them to pay attention to them, while the Church of the Eternal Sun was blocked by the Church of the Lord of Storms in the Kingdom of Ruen. The Church of the Eternal Sun was blocked by the Church of the Lord of Storms, and the corresponding extraordinary people seldom appeared in Beckland, so they could hardly do anything, so it was a very safe choice.
The “soothsayer” path of magic potion involves Krynn himself, and he is certainly not willing to reveal his characteristics.
–After so many battles with extraordinary people that he had personally experienced and seen from the sidelines, he gradually came to a certain realization, that is, below the high sequence, the extraordinary people of different paths have their own characteristics, but not the same, that is to say, each has their own specialties and shortcomings, and their specialties and shortcomings are so obvious that the strong are indeed strong, and the weak are also quite weak.
For example, the “audience” path, lack of frontal combat ability, but if you ignore them, unconsciously guided, then even if the level of fighting and extraordinary skills are strong, there may be a situation in which you don’t even know why you will die, a clear example is the “Hurricane” Lt. Gen. A clear example is, “Hurricane Lieutenant General” Zylingus, obviously has “writhing hunger” this magical item, the comprehensive combat strength reached the sequence 5, but finally died inexplicably, which most of the credit is attributed to the power of Aztec, but can not be ignored, “the audience” played a role in it. But we can’t ignore the role played by the “audience”.
Precisely because of the high sequence below, the vast majority of extraordinary occupations characterized by distinctive but obvious short boards, physical vulnerability, so if you can hide their own good, and in advance to figure out the enemy’s situation, for the short boards of the effective arrangement, that the weak to win the strong is not an impossible thing, the very extreme case, the sequence of 9 to kill the sequence of 5 is a very small probability of occurring.
Of course, this example belongs to the perfect hypothesis, the actual almost impossible to happen, the sequence 5 can already be called strong, the corresponding extraordinary ability has enough to be called magical place, “good at” can effectively cover “short board”, less than sequence 6, it is difficult to have an impact on them. It is difficult to have an effect on them until they reach sequence 6.
On the other hand, many extraordinary people below the high sequence are afraid of being surrounded, even if their opponents are all below their own sequence, because once they are in a hurry and lose sight of their strengths, their shortcomings will turn into fatal factors.
These problems are also the reason why the “Shepherds” can rank first below the high sequence, they are too comprehensive, extraordinary ability if the combination and matching is good enough, there is almost no shortcomings!
When I have been promoted to Sequence 7, with all kinds of magic extraordinary ability, then even if I meet Sequence 6, I can still fight against a while, and even have the possibility of winning …… meet Sequence 5, there is also a chance to escape …… thoughts, Klein looked around the circle, looking forward to Someone to speak.
If the “Chanting Man” and “Prayer for Light” could not be sold, then we had to settle for the next best thing, and consider the “Spectator” and “Mind Reader”. “Considering the extraordinary characteristics of indestructibility and constancy and other knowledge …… own way of the formula can never be sold, “witch” way can not be, it will cause a lot of tragedy, no matter “instigator” or “instigator”. “, or “witches”, are the type of people who have to actively commit evil …… Klein was slightly apprehensive inwardly, but his face remained expressionless as he waited.
”Actually, I might consider buying it.” At this moment, the chubby-faced apothecary let out a laugh, “I could take on another apprentice, give him these two recipes, and have him pray for light specifically for my herbs, perfect! Extravagant!”
His words broke the brief lull in the room, and a man in the corner with his hood pulled down low said in an obviously deliberately shrill voice:
”Maybe I can give it to my kid, at least it’s better than my sequence.”
”Sequence 9, £200, Sequence 8, £400, deal if agreed.”
To be able to come up with 600 pounds in one breath is also rich, this can buy a house in downtown Tingen …… Klein pretended to think and looked at the other party members to observe their reactions.
Seeing that no one had the urge to raise the price, and the other party’s offer also reached its own psychological bottom line, Klein deliberated and said:
”One additional request, you cannot sell these two formulas within this party, anywhere else is at your discretion.”
The man pointedly said:
”Okay, old Mr. ‘Eye of Wisdom’ as a witness.”
Klein didn’t know how to prove that the formulas were real, and didn’t want to open his mouth to ask and expose the fact that he himself hadn’t attended a few gatherings, so he could only pull up his robes in silence, take out the two magic potion formulas that had been written long ago, and hand them over to the attendant next to him.
The waiter did not go to the corner, but came to the center of the single sofa, folded the paper to the “eyes of wisdom”.
The old man spread out the paper, but did not take a look at it, and put it on the small round table next to him.
Then, he took out a handkerchief, wiped his right palm, and took out a ring set with many fine diamonds from his coat pocket.
This ring is complex and exquisite shape, the center of the cluster of a turquoise as the eye of the gemstone, just far from a glance, Klein had a head swelling feeling of physical discomfort, the same as in the past to see the math test paper.
”The Eye of Wisdom,” the old man said, solemnly placing the ring on the middle finger of his right hand and closing his eyes, as if he were contemplating something.
Suddenly, the turquoise stone on the ring blossomed into a brilliant, sunny gold.
”The Eye of Wisdom,” the old man said, quickly reaching his right hand sideways so that the jewel touched the magic potion recipe that Klein had written.
The channeled golden aura grew purer and purer, eventually diffusing into a seal-like projection.
”True and valid!” Mr. “Eye of Wisdom” announced in a deep voice, and immediately removed the ring, not daring to wear it for a second longer.
This tone, very much like a notary public ah …… That ring is the “Eye of Wisdom” old man s best collection, the seal “2-081”? It simulates the ability of the “notary”? Klein looked at it thoughtfully and coveted it.
After the “notary”, the transaction was quickly concluded, and Klein was handed a thick wad of cash, all in ten pound bills.
After counting them three times, he did not fold them into his coat pocket, but held them in his palm, waiting for the next opportunity to spend them.
–He was going to observe for a while to make sure there was nothing he needed before asking for it.
At this time, the rounded “medicine man” glanced around and said:
”I’ve brought a few tranquilizers.”
Really brought? I had forgotten about this matter …… In order to distinguish himself from the past, Klein could only pretend not to be there.
After calling out several times and seeing that no one responded, the pharmacist muttered:
”That guy didn’t come this time?”
”Maybe he died somewhere.”
Thank you for your “blessing”…… but it’s a pleasure that you didn’t recognize me …… Klein was slightly relieved.
The apothecary made his customary plea for the “Elven Fountain’s Medullary Crystals” again, but there was still no luck.
When he had closed his mouth for the time being, a lady whose face was hidden by the shadow of a hood, with two boxes at her feet, spoke up:
”I have two weapons with extraordinary effects.”
This was the same lady who had sold the Rune Steel Sword last time, wasn’t it? Diviner’s psychic intuition tells me it’s …… her who has two more similar weapons? She’s behind the Transcendent Arms Group, isn’t she? …… Well, maybe she’s behind an “Artisan”, also known as a “Mechanical Specialist”, or “Generalist”! “Pathway Sequence 6 “Tinkerer”…… Klein looked over in anticipation.
He promised to give the “sun” a value of 500 to 700 pounds, can effectively improve the other side of the battle of extraordinary weapons, and did not promise the specific type and characteristics, so, so long as almost, make do, can be used, you can buy, anyway, the “sun” will not be picky.
