Chapter 652 Angel
Chapter 652 Angel
What was even more coincidental was that Zhou Ning had seen his information before. He was the new first mate of General Thunder's pirate group, named "Bone Eviscerator" Darby. For pirates like this, ordinary people could get more than 1/5 of the bounty by reporting them directly to the military or the police station. Only on a neutral island like Yukali Island would the pirate dare to show up like this.
"The more the better, there's no upper limit." Zhou Ning resisted the rude act of imagining the other party as a bounty and said with a smile.
"Bone Eviscerator" Dabi pondered for a moment and said:
"We have a total of 400 grams of orichalcum, calculated at 50 grams per lot. We can barter, or 4000 Vekta per lot. However, I can only sell four of them if I pay with money."
It was higher than the normal price, but still acceptable, because it could be understood by changing its name. Mountain copper is called Orichalcum, and it's something that has a price but no market. Usually, only a few of them are produced in ancient ruins... Zhou Ning took a deep breath and asked calmly:
"What about barter?"
Dabi listed a long list of dishes, any five of which could be exchanged for one piece of orichalcum. Most of them were rare ingredients, so irrelevant that their uses were impossible to deduce. However, what Zhou Ning found most familiar was the requirement for Temple's Golden Wolffish and silk from the East Continent.
Did General Lei Dian make another wish to the magic lamp? If so, what was it this time?
"Four were paid in cash, and two were bartered."
It just so happened that Zhou Ning had some of the materials the other party needed. He took out a thick stack of cash from the inventory, took out a huge sum of 16000 Victa based on his feeling, and put it on the table.
Money comes and goes quickly. In just two days, his once-filled treasury was empty again. Although these 300 grams of mountain copper were still a drop in the bucket, as long as he didn't make any mistakes, he could make the "God's Hand·Perfect".
Bone Remover Dabi carefully took out several metals from sealed glass containers from his storage ring and pushed them towards Zhou Ning.
"Here are six parts of orichalcum. Before use, it cannot come into direct contact with the air, otherwise its spiritual power will gradually dissipate, and it may cause anyone who comes into close contact with it to go crazy and lose control."
Zhou Ning nodded and examined the orichalcum pieces one by one. He saw countless bubbles boiling on the metal's surface. These bubbles seemed alive, constantly moving and combining to form different human faces. Legend has it that orichalcum is a living metal that can expand and amplify the darkness within a person's heart.
It's true... Zhou Ning nodded secretly and handed the seller 16000 Vectra in cash. This was a fortune that would drive ordinary people crazy. Overwhelmed by the pressure brought by Zhou Ning's demigod power, most greedy eyes were focused on "Bone Eviscerator" Dabi.
It was foreseeable that the other party would be in a lot of trouble. Even Zhou Ning seriously considered whether to make a zero-yuan purchase.
The transactions are still going on. After such a rare big deal, the transactions here have become active.
However, due to the environmental impact, most of the lots remained unsold, with only a few successfully traded. Zhou Ning was amazed to see that among the successfully traded lots was a batch of 600 forged documents from the Kingdom of Sifalik, and that "Bone Eviscerator" Darby, on behalf of General Lei Dian, was recruiting new crew members aboard, offering a high price to kill former Sun Guardians, with a weekly salary of 600 Vekta, with spoils of war being extra.
This is almost 6 times the weekly salary of an ordinary pirate. I remember that Sherlock's weekly salary was only 30 Victars... Zhou Ning was not surprised to see that most of the pirates present were tempted and expressed their willingness to board the ship.
"It seems that General Lei Dian has either lost a lot of men, or he has other plans." Zhou Ning raised his eyebrows, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.
However, he had no intention of causing any trouble at this time. He had a lot of things to do today, such as meeting with Roger to discuss the follow-up matters. If he had extra time, he planned to make the "God's Hand·Perfecter". If he had extra time, he planned to upgrade his secondary profession of Gambler. There was no place more suitable for upgrading than Yukali Island.
……
At the dock, Roger, the Patriarch of the Church of the God of War and Archdeacon of the Wings of Law, disembarked from a large three-masted sailing ship. Behind him followed his retainers and a tall, slender woman in a black cloak. Her face was obscured by the cloak, making it impossible to tell her age. Her clothing, made of cheap, coarse black cloth, looked shabby, like a typical ascetic.
Furthermore, her presence seemed quite low, not even the attendants accompanying Roger noticed her. However, judging from Roger's awe-inspiring attitude, it was clear that she was of high status.
After getting off the boat, Roger raised his eyebrows and looked at the overly lush vegetation on the island, as well as the various animals coming and going, which were larger than before.
As soon as he arrived here, he sensed an unusual fluctuation of life breath, which seemed to be slightly divine. The creatures here seemed to be infected by this breath and underwent mutations.
Thinking of the scene on Tartarus Island again, Roger couldn't help but look cautious. He had already expected that the probability of something happening on Yukali Island would increase sharply after Wayne Stewell landed on the island, but he never expected that his power was really that great.
Roger silently withdrew his gaze and saw Smith Hall hurried over. He stopped and hammered his shoulders hard, then put his fists to his chest and saluted:
"Sir Roger, we have prepared the carriage outside."
"Thank you." Roger nodded and walked towards the carriage parked outside.
This time, Smith Hall prepared three carriages and planned to drive directly to the "Quiet Wind" Hotel to meet Wayne Sternwell.
After getting on the carriage, Roger was silent for a few seconds and asked in a deep voice:
"Tell me again what happened in the past two days."
Smith Hall twitched his lips and replied:
"Archbishop Edward and Karl Robbins are hiding on the Yukali Peninsula and have committed several murders. It's certain that Karl Robbins used that miraculous item to change his identity. His current identity is Rick Green, an archaeologist from the West Farik Archaeological Association. Just last night, he killed all members of the archaeological team and escaped. He is currently with Archbishop Edward."
"Due to the influence of that miraculous item, we are currently unable to find any trace of the enemy. According to Wayne Stewell, perhaps only Lord Roger himself can decipher it by casting the Secret Law."
"No, Edward is no longer on the island." At this time, the black-robed lady who appeared in the carriage at some point hesitated and said.
"Your Majesty Meredith, what do you say?" Roger asked, subconsciously lowering his voice.
"I can no longer sense the presence of the Falric Code. Although I cannot pinpoint its exact location, I can sense its presence as long as it is within a certain range." Lady Black Robe
Although she didn't say everything, everyone present understood her hidden meaning. While they were busy, the unknown being that possessed Archbishop Edward had already left Yukali Island with the "Code of Falric".
Smith Hall had lowered his head unconsciously, his expression full of piety and awe. There was only one person who could be addressed as His Majesty Meredith by Patriarch Roger.
The servant of the God of War, the "Angel of Order" Meredith.
