Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 177: Trading Extraordinary Weapons with "Little Sun"

During previous gatherings, Magician Fors had purchased the Soul Eater's Stomach at the Tarot Club. At the time, only Sun Derrick said he knew where the Soul Eater was.

But after Fors established contact with Dorian and learned that she might be able to obtain the main ingredient of the potion from him, she did not continue the transaction.

A few days ago, Dorian came to Backlund. In addition to preparing a potion for Fors to prepare for the "Apprentice" stage, he also promised to provide her with the "blood of deep-sea marlin" needed to advance to the rank of "Master of Magic."

Then Fors only needs to purchase the "Soul Eater's Stomach" to advance.

Although he still needed to digest the potion and was not in a hurry to get promoted, Fors felt it necessary to confirm the deal with "Little Sun" again. After all, "Little Sun" had said before that he needed the potion formula from the "Sun Priest".

If the other party's needs remained unchanged, Fors would have no choice but to ask the other members if they had any clues about the "Soul Eater's Stomach."

After hearing what the Magician said, Derrick the Sun said, "No problem. Can you find the recipe for the Sun Priest potion? I can give you three Soul Eater Stomachs."

Fors smiled helplessly: "Sorry, I may not have the means to obtain this formula."

She thought to herself, what do I need three "Soul Eater's Stomachs" for? I have to sell the extra two "stomachs" at the Extraordinary Party. Just thinking about it makes me feel so troublesome.

Just as the deal was about to fail, Alger, the Hanged Man, suddenly said, "I can get the Sun Priest's potion formula. We can initiate a three-party deal."

Fors was stunned: "Three-party deal?"

"Little Sun" didn't quite understand what Mr. "The Hanged Man" meant.

"We can measure this transaction in gold pounds," Alger explained. "The 'Soul Eater's Stomach' is worth 300 pounds, and the 'Sun Priest's' potion formula is worth 800 pounds.

"'The Sun' provided 'The Soul Eater's Stomach' to 'The Magician', and 'The Magician' paid me 300 pounds to complete the first round of our three-party transaction.

"For the remaining 500 pounds worth of the Sun Priest potion formula, Sun will provide me with two extraordinary materials to complete the second round of transactions."

As the old rival of the Church of the Eternal Sun, the Church of Storms certainly had the potion formula for the "Sun" path. Alger planned to use the suspicion that someone was purchasing the extraordinary materials of the "Sun Priest" as an excuse to search the church for the relevant information.

Fors's eyes lit up. "Mr. Hanged Man, this solution perfectly solves the problem."

Derrick nodded, indicating his willingness to accept the deal. "Mr. Hanged Man, do you also need the Soul Eater's Stomach?"

He could complete the hunt for the "Soul Eater" by himself and had no pressure on the deal.

"I don't need it," Alger said. "I need you to provide a list of monsters around Silver City. Well, the list of monsters you can hunt currently. I will choose two from it."

Derrick immediately said, "No problem."

"Justice" Audrey looked at the three parties involved in the transaction and felt something was wrong.

Klein, the Fool, smiled and thought to himself, "Older people are wiser." The Hanged Man had obtained a list of monsters around Silver City without paying any price. If he needed anything in the future, he could always contact Little Sun to complete the corresponding transaction.

The "Hanged Man" is well aware that in this era of relatively closed information, information is the most valuable commodity, but the "Little Sun" does not seem to quite understand this.

Although he thought of this, Klein didn't remind them because he also wanted to see what monsters were around Silver City and the corresponding extraordinary materials.

Soon, Derrick gave the Hanged Man a list, and Alger selected two extraordinary materials that he could sell in the short term, and the transaction officially began.

At this time, Odysseus said, "Can I also take a look at the list?"

He smiled and said to Derrick, "If I can help you sell some extraordinary materials through my own channels, you can get some gold pounds, and you can use these gold pounds to trade with us.

"Of course, I also have channels to obtain some extraordinary weapons. If you need them, we can continue the barter trade."

Klein's mouth twitched slightly: Another one trying to take advantage of me?

Derrick immediately said happily, "No problem."

Klein almost covered his face with his hands: No wonder everyone is trying so hard to grab it. It's really because "Little Sun" has such a good posture that he can grab it with just a stretch of his hand.

Odysseus glanced at the list and said, "I need three pairs of demon ape eyeballs, 3 milliliters of sheep-horned black fish blood, and two complete units of 'parasitic spirit' dust."

The "eyeball of the demon ape" is the eyeball of the "Giant Ape of Mount Nasragus" as mentioned by Odysseus and his companions. It is one of the main ingredients of the "Mystery Peeping Man" potion. Although Mr. Fool did not translate it, Odysseus knew it.

The three things Odysseus mentioned are the main ingredients of the "Mystery Peeper", "Audience" and "Apprentice" potions.

Among them, 35 ml of "blood of sheep-horned black fish" is one main material, and Odysseus asked for 70 ml, which is equivalent to two main materials of sequence 9 level.

Odysseus had sold many potion recipes in the Mysticism Research Society before, but he did not provide the corresponding extraordinary properties and main ingredients. Therefore, the members of the Mysticism Research Society currently generally hold the recipes and look for the main ingredients everywhere.

Now that Odysseus suddenly has access to extraordinary materials, he must take the opportunity to make another fortune.

This made both Klein and Alger look at the Hermit. Klein thought to himself: Are you here to restock?
Derrick was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected the Hermit to place an order directly. "Okay, okay. I'll give you the materials tonight."

These were all Sequence 9 level extraordinary creatures, making them easy for Derrick to hunt.

Of course, he dared to promise to "deliver" the goods that night because there were many such extraordinary materials in the warehouse of Silver City, such as "Giant Ape Eyeballs" and "Parasite Dust", which could be picked up in the wild.

The reason was simple. There were many monsters like this around Silver City, but there were no corresponding potion formulas, and these main ingredients were useless to them.

Sometimes, even after killing the corresponding monster, they would only collect spiritual materials such as its blood or soul fragments.

Because spiritual materials can have a wide range of uses, but no one knows how to use the main materials on these monsters.

Fortunately, Derrick didn't explain this, otherwise if Odysseus knew that such a huge fortune was left in the wild, he would definitely be very sad!
For Derrick, only a few merits were needed to exchange for the "Eyeball of the Demonic Ape" and the "Dust of the Parasitic Spirit".

However, because there were also Beyonders with the "Audience" path in Silver City, the "Blood of the Sheep-Horned Blackfish" would cost slightly more merit, so Derrick prepared to hunt a "Sheep-Horned Blackfish."

Yes, it was one. Although this extraordinary creature is called a "fish," it lives on land and is only called that because of its fish-like scales. Odysseus nodded and said, "The materials I just mentioned are equivalent to seven Sequence 7 level main materials. At 9 pounds each, the total cost is 140 pounds."

"This time, you can use the market price, as I'm confident I can sell all the materials. But next time, if you want to propose a deal for extraordinary weapons, I'll have to use 130 pounds or even 120 pounds per piece."

He smiled and said, "980 pounds is a considerable fortune. Do you want gold pounds, or do you want to exchange it for extraordinary weapons?"

Derrick immediately said, "Exchange it for extraordinary weapons."

"Let me briefly introduce the extraordinary weapons I can sell you." Odysseus said, "There is a weapon that looks like a silver-white axe and can release lightning within five meters.

"Those lightning bolts can paralyze the target and cause greater damage to undead and dark monsters.

"Targets at Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 levels can be paralyzed for 3 to 5 seconds, and their movement speed will also slow down for a few seconds.

"Sequence 7 targets can be paralyzed for 2 to 3 seconds, and their movements will also be slowed down. Sequence 6 enemies may only be paralyzed for 1 second, or their movements may just be slowed down.

"However, after reaching Sequence 7, the opponent has many ways to dodge, making it relatively difficult to hit the target.

"If we use a surprise attack, or if it's the first time the other party has seen this type of weapon, the chances of success will be very high."

Before Derrick could say anything, Fors had already thought: Isn't this the weapon provided by the "leader"?
After hearing the "axe shape" from behind the gray fog, Klein also recalled the extraordinary weapons used by the "leader": Was he the "supplier" of Mr. Gall's weapons? Or was he Mr. Gall himself?
This clue made Klein almost certain that the "Hermit" was Mr. Gall. Even if not, there must be a close connection between them.

But he didn't plan to verify it immediately. He just planned to buy a few suitable extraordinary weapons if there were any.

After hearing about the weapon's function, Derrick immediately asked, "How much is one?"

"Fifty pounds," Odysseus said, "but I must remind you that this is a disposable weapon."

This weapon costs about 23 pounds. Odysseus made a lot of them before to deal with the "arsonist", and there are still more than a dozen in the "Knowledge Wilderness".

Alger, standing by, thought to himself, "That's worth it! Paralyzing targets within a five-meter radius—this kind of thing can save lives! Especially for Silver City, it's practically designed specifically for them! Those monsters don't have the intelligence to dodge, so these weapons can be used to their full potential."

Derrick also realized this. He wanted to, but he smiled bitterly and said, "If I use these weapons, I'll be suspected."

"Maybe before." Odysseus smiled and said, "But not now. Your chief Colin has already planned to use you to check and balance the 'Shepherd' elder. Even if you have some strange weapons in your hands, as long as they are used to deal with monsters, he will pretend not to see them.

"Well, in the beginning, you can use a small amount of these weapons. If anyone asks, you can say that you found a way to make weapons from monsters.

"Others, seeing how effective these weapons are and how they have no negative side effects, don't care where they come from."

He smiled and said, "Of course, you can also settle with gold pounds. For example, if you need to trade something with another member, I can help you pay, but it doesn't have to exceed 980 pounds."

In fact, Odysseus had long wanted to trade extraordinary weapons with "Little Sun", but there had never been a suitable opportunity before. Now there is no problem in making the transaction, and "Little Sun" no longer has to worry about being suspected.

At the same time, he also hopes to trade extraordinary weapons with other members. Only through the Tarot Club's channels can he sell those weapons with confidence without worrying about the source being traced.

All along, Odysseus didn't care whether Klein guessed his real identity, but since this was a secret gathering, if he did something that might expose himself right away, it would make the other members feel that he was not cautious enough.

Now that Klein suspected that the "Hermit" was Mr. Gal, he might as well just start the transaction. Before long, this would become an important source of income for him.

Derrick thought about what the Hermit said and felt it made sense. He also really wanted the weapon the Hermit mentioned.

Although young, Derrick, who has rich combat experience, has already realized that these weapons will definitely play a huge role in the "God's Forsaken Land".

So Derrick said, “Then I’ll first get a silver-white weapon, and then I’ll buy more after I use it up, so as to avoid suspicion.

"I'll keep the remaining gold pounds with you for now. I'll use them when I need them."

"Okay!" Odysseus continued, "There's another weapon that also has an axe shape, but its effect is 'freezing'.

“After use, it can also form an ice-covered area with a diameter of about five meters. The effect is similar to the previous axe, but it can delay the target’s movement for a longer period of time.

"Even if a Sequence 6 is hit or affected, part of his body will be frozen within 5 seconds.

"It's just that at this level, he has some ways to break this state, but it will inevitably take the opponent some time, and in battle, time is the most precious."

This is another powerful weapon for dealing with monsters. If you can attract the monsters together, do this...

Derrick seemed to have a picture in his mind.

This is also what Odysseus did to deal with "arsonists", and he made too much, and there is still a lot of stock.

Klein had a lot to say about this. During the previous attack on Capin's villa, the Sequence 6 was affected by the "leader's" weapon and then killed by Klein with an "air bullet."

"There's also a weapon that looks like a javelin," Odysseus continued. "It has the ability to aim and fly. With just a slight throw, it can hit a target within 50 meters and cause a small explosion.

"How can I describe that explosion? It's similar to the explosion of a 70mm artillery bomb, and it has armor-piercing capabilities."

The following explanation was actually meant for Alger.

This was the inventory left behind by the now-dead Lelouch. They didn't dare use it in Backlund now, but there was no problem selling it to the "God's Forsaken Land" or out at sea.

Before Little Sun could even react with surprise, Alger exclaimed in amazement, "Is it so powerful?"

He seemed to see that when the target ship docked in the harbor, a dozen sailors quietly approached, each of them fired a javelin at the enemy ship, and the enemy ship would surely sink in the harbor soon.

Of course, if you calculate it, the shells are cheaper than this kind of javelin, but the problem is that the moment you show the cannon to the enemy, the enemy will also start to prepare to fire and be prepared.

Even if all the shells on the ship were fired, it would be unlikely to sink the enemy ship.
