Demon Sage

v1 Chapter 30: stalker

Donald did not set a detailed transaction time with the seller code-named Jazz. This was his intentional reasoning, on the grounds that there might be an urgent matter tomorrow, and he could not come. In fact, it was a common push and pull in transactions.

He didn't want the other party to realize his urgency, but wanted to create an atmosphere in which you didn't trade with me, and it was only you who lost.

Only in this way, Jazz will prepare the trade items with all his heart, otherwise, with Donald's eyesight, he really can't see the way out if the other party's things are good or bad.

Spell Skill Scroll, this is Donald's reward for promising to translate the second slate. Of course, it is not necessary to take out high-level spell scrolls. You can also win by quantity, as long as the combined value is not lower than the Clock Meditation Method.

If the other party took out a bunch of low-level spell scrolls, Donald wouldn't be afraid, and would even accept it readily. What he lacks now is the foundation. Whether it's useful or not, he needs to read and learn more, so that he can draw parallels.

He did not have the systematic training of the orthodox church, which is equivalent to crossing the river by feeling the stones, and there is no way for him to retreat. He must be firm in his footsteps, so it is always right to have a firm foundation.

Leaving the strange object area, this time the underground market can be said to have no regrets. In a short period of time, I have a firearm for self-defense, and I can finally resist in the face of danger. I exchanged the knowledge in my mind for a meditation method that looks quite good. Go back Then you can start to improve your mental strength.

In the predicament, Donald seems to have grasped the way to survive.

Instead of leaving in a hurry, he stayed at the outer layer with some funds left. Donald was hanging out at the grocery stall. This was just a leisure activity. Relying on his spiritual vision, he quietly glanced at each stall. Want to find those treasures buried in junk.

It's just that luck seemed to have been exhausted in the previous two transactions. Donald wandered around the outer clutter area, and turned his eyes into red eyes like a rabbit. He was so sour that he could only narrow his eyes and give up, thinking that he really did. The books I read before are unreliable, and it is so easy to find treasures on these ordinary stalls.

In fact, this is also an environmental issue. Today is a period of booming industry. Machinery and capital are the main theme of this era. In addition to the propaganda and suppression by the government and the church, many good things are sold to the church. They not only give money, but also provide job opportunities, so there will naturally be less things from the underground market.

As the base of items decreases, the chances of getting a good item are naturally not high. Picking up such a thing is like buying a lottery ticket, it depends on luck.

Since he couldn't find anything, Donald simply went to the cane shop he saw between the weapon areas and bought a hidden knife cane for 1 gold pound.

Now Donald is also considered a social person. Sherlock has mentioned in the past two days that he should find time to buy a cane. As a gentleman, how can he go out without a cane?

That would make people feel weird. Although Donald doesn't have such thoughts and habits, a cane is indispensable to follow the local customs.

This cane with hidden knives Donald took great care to choose, and chose the most simple one from a pile of gold-plated and silver-plated canes. On the one hand, the price was cheap, on the other hand, he did not forget his identity. The special detective's assistant, he remembered that the boss's walking stick was silver-plated, he took one inlaid with gold? Isn't that causing trouble for yourself?

The handle position is a wooden T-shaped, with some curvature, which is easy to grasp. The body of the stick is the most common ash wood, and the middle ring is embedded with a layer of brass. The knife can be unsheathed immediately.

Not to mention, Donald himself has a good image and temperament, holding this cane is really handsome and stylish.

There is still money left, but it can't be used casually. The remaining money has to be saved, so I go back the same way.

Returning to the surface, looking at the time, at ten o'clock, the night in the restaurant was a bit deserted, only a few scattered customers were still eating, and the waiter had already started to clean the floor.

People's work and rest time is always linked to the situation of the city. In a medium-sized city like Preston, citizens will go home one after another around 10:30. Except for the reason for having a job the next day, it is actually because Crime is common in cities.

After eleven o'clock, it is officially late at night, and wandering outside alone can easily attract those "hyenas" in the shadows, and all consequences are at your own risk.

He couldn't find a carriage carrying passengers nearby, and he was unlucky. Donald could only choose to walk home. Fortunately, he recognized the direct way from the detective office to the commercial street. He went to the office first and then turned back home, which took about half an hour. 's footsteps.

The first half of the road was smooth and nothing happened. However, when Donald walked from the entrance of the office to Iris Street, something unexpected happened.

From the moment Donald entered Gesang Street, he had an inexplicable feeling that somewhere there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him, just like you when you just watched a horror movie, whether sitting or lying down, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Whether in the bedroom or the living room, I always feel that something is watching in the dark, and I can't help but panic.

Most of the shops on the commercial street are clothing stores or grocery stores. The closing time of these types of shops is usually at 9 pm. Therefore, the busy streets during the day are already empty at this time, and there are only a few curtains above the buildings on both sides. Light leaks.

His footsteps subconsciously accelerated, and Donald's eyes searched for something that could reflect the situation behind him, such as the window glass of a shop.

I didn't see anything, there was an empty street behind me, rows of kerosene lampposts cast a halo on the ground, although it was bright, it set off the darkness where the light didn't reach.

He didn't dare to look back at will. According to the experience in some dramas he had watched in the past, when he turned back at this time, not only would he not see anything, but he would also let the other party know that he had noticed something strange, and he might act in advance.

If it wasn't for an illusion, someone was indeed following him... Could it be that the cult found out that he was still alive and wanted to deal with him again?

Recalling the person he and Sherlock saw on the street the day before yesterday when he and Sherlock went to the detective office for the first time, Donald's heart tightened. With the gun handle around my waist, the panic in my heart has been reduced a bit. Fortunately, I just bought a firearm. Even if the shooting accuracy is not very good, it is good to use it as a deterrent. Even if you fire a few shots, you can still make the surrounding residents. Call the police.

Trying to walk forward by the street lights, let yourself be in the light all the time, it is about ten minutes away from Iris Street.

snoring~

A low whimper came from his throat, and somewhere behind Donald, a hand covered with thick bristles touched the stone wall outside the alleyway, making white marks.
