Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 27 The Whisperer Mystery House
Luke unzipped the bag, which was full of money. Without counting the money, he threw the bag into the open space backpack.
He picked up the glass and drank the wine, then said to Billy, "Goodbye! I don't think you will have any business tonight, so you should close the shop early and have a rest."
"Goodbye, Miss Clear Sky. "
Luke stood up and walked out.
But when she walked out of the Assassin's Tavern, the Lizard Man Billy caught up with her from behind.
"Ms. Qingkong, my boss asked me to give this to you." Billy handed over a silver dagger with both hands. It was plated with gold patterns and was extremely gorgeous and beautiful.
Luke did not take the dagger, but asked Billy: "Can the silver blade of the Blade Brotherhood be given to others so easily?"
Billy said, "The boss said: Miss Qingkong's assassination of the giant tree was so exciting that many people are asking him about you. If Miss Qingkong is too annoyed, you can take out this dagger and show it to them.
Although the Brotherhood of the Blade is not as strong as before, some people still give it some face. "
Luke took the dagger, twirled it around his fingertips a few times, and put it into his space backpack.
"Since it's a gift, I'll take it. Please thank your boss again for me, but I don't promise to do anything for him."
Billy saluted and said, "The boss just wants to make friends with a powerful elf like you."
"I'll just consider him a friend. Bye."
Luke jumped onto the roof and quickly disappeared into the night.
The Blade-Bearing Brotherhood was a group formed by the early nobles of the Golden Shield Empire to fight against the imperial power. They were once so powerful that they could draw swords and curse at the emperor in the palace.
However, with the explosion of technology and the rise of a new industrial and commercial aristocracy, the old aristocracy that rejected new culture declined rapidly.
Later, members of the extreme Blade Brotherhood launched persecution and massacres against the modified humans, which led to the suppression of the Empire and once again accelerated the decline of the old aristocracy.
The Brotherhood of the Blade no longer has the glory it once had, but because most of its members are ancient hereditary nobles, it still has a great influence in the empire.
The Blade Brotherhood was the most conservative of the conservatives in the Golden Shield Empire, and Luke didn't want to have anything to do with them. Even the Assassin's Tavern owner, who was an open-minded member of the Brotherhood, was better off not messing with him.
But the identity of the Brotherhood of the Blade is really useful and it would be a waste if not used.
For example, when you arrive in the central city and meet a patrolling sheriff, you can show the silver blade of the Blade Brotherhood and the sheriff will immediately salute and let you go.
Walking on the streets of the central city, you can clearly feel that this place and the Cape District are simply two different worlds.
The roads are wide and clean. There is a street lamp that stays on all night at regular intervals on the roadside. There are also steam engine bus tracks on some main roads.
Even the patrolling sheriffs did not have the banditry that the sheriffs of the Cape District had.
The sense of security keeps some shops on the street open late at night.
A scene of prosperity and prosperity.
The level 60 clear sky consumes very little power, and Luke arrived at her destination leisurely.
Whisperers Mystery House.
In the Anno game, this is where items related to the mystic arts are sold. In addition to high-level mystic language materials, other commonly used items can be purchased here.
Push the door and walk in.
The light purple light adds a sense of mystery to this place.
There was a counter near the door, where a young girl was dozing off with her chin in her hand. The store hall was filled with all kinds of goods, including bottles and jars, clocks, retro armor, old books... It was like a grocery store.
The door opened, causing a rope to swing and ring a bell above the counter.
The little girl woke up immediately.
"Welcome, dear... Elf lady, my name is Wen Lisa. May I ask what I can do for you? You are so beautiful. I have never seen an elf as beautiful as you."
"Thank you for the compliment." Luke had already gotten used to the praise and attention that Qingkong's appearance brought him. "I need some props and materials. Can you help me find them?"
"Of course." Wen Lisa walked out from behind the counter and boasted: "Our Whisperer Mystery House has the most complete mysterious props and materials in the central city. Many mages and alchemists come here to purchase mysterious props.
Whatever you need, I will help you find it.”
Luke said according to the list he had compiled: "Four lanterns burning fin whale fat, six 120cm x 120cm pieces of drawing paper made of alfalfa, three pots of oil paint made of lantern nectar and stone slip, and ten array drawing brushes.
Fifty crystals, fifty bloodstones, ten kilograms of sulfur, one kilogram of bronze, 300 grams of silver, the corpse of an adult male red bat, fourteen fangs of Moorish wolves..."
While Luke was reading out the props and materials he needed, Wen Lisa hurriedly ran back behind the counter and took out paper and pen.
"I'm sorry, miss. I didn't expect you to buy so many things. Could you please tell me from the beginning again, slowly, so I can write them down?"
"no problem……"
Luke slowly told her the mysterious props and materials he needed. Wen Lisa wrote them down carefully and then took the list to prepare the goods.
There were many things to buy, and it would take some time to find them. Luke started to walk around the mysterious shop to see if there was anything he needed.
Soon a wood carving caught Luke's interest.
The wood sculpture is a cylinder the size of a water cup, placed on a shelf with other sundries. Made of oiled wood with a black texture, the surface is carved with a circling venomous snake in relief.
The eyes and tongue of the venomous snake are particularly eye-catching with red dye.
Luke held the wood carving and said to Wen Lisha: "Can this thing also be sold?"
Wen Lisa came over, looked at the wood carving and said, “In addition to having a fixed supply of goods, our Mystery House also accepts individual customers to sell their mysterious items.
This wood carving was sold to us by a customer.
Judging from the material and carving style, it should be a sacrificial item made by a snake-worshiping troll tribe in the Mandel Jungle, and it carries a strong mysterious energy.
It could probably be used to perform secret techniques involving snakes, poison, or curses.
Do you need it? "
Luke gave the wood carving to Wen Lisa and said, "You are absolutely right. It is indeed from the Mandel Jungle. It is an unexpected gain for me. Please help me pack it up."
"Yes, beautiful elf lady."
Wen Lisa happily took the wood carving and packed it up. This elf customer was her unexpected surprise tonight. She bought so many mysterious props that could bring her a very generous commission.
Luke continued to wander around the shelves of the mysterious store, and when he saw interesting mysterious items, he gave them to Wen Lisa to pack and box.
Soon the counter of the mysterious shop was filled with cardboard boxes filled with items.
Just as Wen Lisa was counting the items and calculating the payment, an imperial spy wearing a leather jacket and a top hat pushed the door open and walked in.
