In fact, if you think about it carefully, the location of the entrance of the ruins is very close to the hiding place of the statue, which is also easy to think of.

"Even if you don't dare to hide something more dangerous than a relic like the statue of the old **** in your own stronghold, you are afraid that if something goes wrong, everyone will be finished, and it is impossible to hide it far away from the stronghold."

This is Shad's view.

The "Nock Printing Factory" with its courtyard and three-story building is where the entrance to the underground ruins is located. [Blood of Mercury] spent money to buy the printing factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy last winter, and secretly carried out excavation work here. And the agent who bought the printing factory was Mr. Ponton whose family was killed tonight.

The silver-eyed man wanted to kill him not only because the ordinary man's hand was too long, but also because he wanted to make everyone who knew the secret disappear.

The above is the information that the doctor interrogated from the dream. But the doctor is not interested in the sage-level (level 2) relic [God's Gift Box] at all. A relic with such a high level of danger was not his goal in the first place.

On this rainy night, he stood beside the corpse and explained his attitude. Then she looked at Miss Louisa, who also shook her head:

"I don't want to take the risk to go to any ancient ruins, but the news itself is valuable. After the doctor gets the [forged Philosopher's Stone], he can consider submitting the news to the academy."

Xia De understood what she meant, this was to prevent those with silver pupils from being disturbed.

The doctor and Miss Louisa looked at Xia De together, Xia De nodded and said:

"Don't worry, I'm just a first-ring warlock. How can I have the guts to break into some ruins alone? I also agree to sell this news at a high price after the matter is over. I'm short of gold coins to repair the third floor of my house." .”

"No, you can't tell for sure, after all, Lake View Manor and you guys talked about the fish scales...

The doctor sighed softly:

"However, you are usually a cautious person. Remember, don't be dazzled by greed, it's not worth it."

After dealing with the traces left in the house, the three separated at the intersection of Mr. Ponton's block. The rain washed away their footprints, and the Orthodox Church couldn't find them after discovering what happened here.

The doctor hurried away in the carriage, and he seemed to have really found important clues about the [forged Philosopher's Stone].

And Xia De and Miss Louisa went the same way, so they went back in the same carriage. But on the way, the blonde girl changed the carriage temporarily, and she planned to go to Old John's **** shop to pick up some things.

Xia De also didn't want to take the weird eyeball home, so he went along the way and wanted to sell the magic eye.

"But it's already eleven o'clock, is Papa John's still open?"

he wondered.

"The **** shop closes at 12 o'clock in the evening and opens at 7 o'clock in the morning. After all, when everyone is doing some gray transactions, they like to go at night."

Miss Louisa was talking, tilting her head to look at the street scene of Tobesk on a rainy night. Xia De thought about it, whether he went to the **** shop or the Black Raven library, he always went during the day.

"Sure enough, it's still not cautious enough."

The foreigner blamed himself like this, which made the woman's voice chuckle in his head.

Visiting this kind of ring magician trading place at night is likely to meet another ring magician, but probably because of the bad weather tonight, even ring magicians don't want to go out at night, so when the two walked into the **** with the gas lamp When we went, only the owner was inside.

Entering the warm and dry indoor from the humid outdoor, isolating the sound of rain, is the best enjoyment in rainy days. Out of politeness, they all wiped their shoes on the mat at the door before greeting the owner, Old John.

The old man, who seemed not too young, put the pen in his hand in the middle of the ledger and clamped it:

"Oh, Louisa, and the detective, I thought there would be no guests tonight, and I started keeping accounts."

He stuffed the ledger back into the counter, and Xia De asked while saying hello:

"Is there any news about the relic I want?"

Although Miss Galina promised to deliver the relic within a week, Xia De will not just make preparations.

"There is news. My friend in another place has something similar. It is a living leech. I will inform you of the specific news when the goods arrive."

Old John said, and handed Shad a black and white photo. The photo is of a wooden jar, with black leeches in the jar from an overhead angle. The size of a leech is similar to that of ordinary leeches, but the body has dense fly-like compound eyes, which look very disgusting.

Even eyeballs could be relics, so it wouldn't surprise Xia De that leeches were relics.

"You really like weird things. A few days ago, Anat's request was even weirder."

The old man muttered and put the photo away.

"What does Luvia want to buy?"

Miss Louisa asked curiously, the owner should have kept secrets for the guests, but Old John knew that the relationship between these people was very good, so he revealed a little information:

"It's also a relic. It was brought back from the ruins of the New World. It looks like a cube box with a rattle inside. It is said that it was something that caused disasters in ancient times. This is not my collection, it is a rumor from the black market. The news of the sale, Annat asked me to help contact the seller, when did she like to collect this kind of thing, or the Prophet Association wants to buy it... Oh, it doesn't matter, it's so late, so what do you want? "

The old man yawned and asked, turned around, took a teacup from the small round table in the counter, and made tea for himself.

Because of the last talk about "Enlightenment and Civilization", Xia De was full of curiosity about this **** shop. I haven't been here for a week, and there doesn't seem to be much change here, but the miniaturized steam engine in the corner is gone. I don't know if it was donated to the museum or bought by a collector.

"Papa John, the alchemy item I customized last time, the brush that can be used to erase ink from pens, is it ready? It was supposed to be picked up the day after tomorrow, but since I'm on the way, I'll come over and ask."

Miss Louisa asked and answered, while Xia De looked at the old man behind the counter in surprise. He didn't expect him to have such skills.

Both alchemy and potions require talent, and of course, gold pounds and time are even more needed. Even in the Ring Warlock system that has been developed to this day, there are not many people who are proficient in these skills.

"It's done, but I can only guarantee that it will be useful within half a year. After half a year, the effect will be reduced."

As he spoke, he searched around the counter, and handed a small brush with a black metal handle to Miss Louisa. Shad's eyes could see very delicate runes and symbolic symbols engraved on the handle of the brush. The bristles of the brush kept wriggling as if they were alive, making Shade suspect that those hairs were actually worms.

"I didn't bring enough money when I went out at night. I'll pay the balance next time I come."

Miss Louisa said while observing the items in her hand under the light of the gas lamp, and Old John didn't care:

"Just settle the balance before the weekend. Also, is your new book going to be written? I've been waiting for a long time."

Saying that, the old man winked at Xia De again:

"I could be her reader."

"After the exam season anyway."

Miss Louisa shook her head, lamenting that the recent busy studies have caused headaches. Old John sympathized with her, so he sold a Poet-level (level 5) relic that could cure headaches to Miss Shad and Louisa. But none of them are interested, because the side effect of the relic is to sleep 22 hours a day.

After finishing Miss Louisa's affairs, Xia De took out the bottle from his pocket and put it on the table with a bang.

"Oh? Magic eye? This is a rare thing. Where did you get it? Why is it still covered with blood? Oh, which unlucky guy was gouged out by you?"

The old man suddenly became interested, asked with a smile, then bent down to look carefully, but did not touch the bottle:

"However, I don't accept such things."

He shook his head.

"Why?"

Miss Louisa asked.

"I never accept magic eyes. This kind of item is too dangerous, and the buyers are relatively limited."

"Why haven't I heard you mention it before, do you still have this kind of rule here?"

the female writer asked again.

"Because you have never come to sell magic eyes."

Old John had a natural expression:

"It's like, I don't accept obvious stolen goods here, and I don't accept dangerous relics that are contagious and cursed. There are many similar rules. Of course, I will only speak out when I encounter a situation."

"Papa John, can you help me contact the buyer? Although you don't accept it, there will always be ring magicians in this city who need magic eyes."

Xia De asked, and Miss Louisa still doubted Old John's rules.

"Write down the specific name, function, and negative characteristics of the relic."

The old man gave Xia De a pen and paper, and added:

"My agency fee here is not low."

"Look at that cane..."

"Okay, okay, don't mention this matter in the future, this time I will charge you 10% of the agency fee. Louisa, you know how generous this is."

The old man hugged his hands together and put them on the table. Xia De snorted and didn't answer, but Miss Louisa showed a smile on her face:

"Papa John, you will never suffer."

It was almost half past eleven at night when we got home, and the sound of rain and moisture was blocked from the door after closing the door, which made Xia De feel at ease.

The orange cat welcoming Xia De home ran down the stairs excitedly ~lightnovelpub.net~ circling around Xia De's boots, and calmed down after being picked up. This feeling of being greeted after returning home makes foreigners very gratified.

There are quite a lot of itineraries on this day, and there are also many harvests. For the sake of safety, [Earl's Left Eye] and [Witch's Carbon Paper], which are both secret-keeper-level relics, were stored by him behind the hidden wall in the basement before going to bed, and he would use them at an appropriate time.

This place is really an excellent "safe".

When I left the basement, I couldn't help but sigh. Although he yearns for a peaceful ring warlock life, he still participates in various events in order to gain power and wealth quickly.

Miss Anat said that as long as the chosen one does not die, he will definitely become a thirteen-ring magician. Perhaps this is not because of the favor of fate, but because trouble haunts them at any time and anywhere.

When Shade took off the cat from the pillow and was about to go to bed, he suddenly thought of Miss Bayas. She, who always encounters various accidents, probably has more wealth and relics in her hands than Xia De thought.
