Chapter 12 013 Old One-Eyed Basement (1)
At this time, the carriage had turned out of Langton Street and entered a commercial street. There were many vendors on both sides of the road, and they were all caught off guard by the sudden rain. And the rain was getting heavier and heavier. People packed their stalls, ran and shouted, and the scene was chaotic.
Green could not help frowning when he saw this situation, and told the driver to be careful.
Green and Laura were not afraid of the rain in the carriage, but the people outside the carriage looked like headless flies, which made Green feel unusual. Although it rained suddenly, people were a little confused, but it was not a knife, so there was no panic or fear at all.
"Stop!~" Green suddenly called out, but the carriage didn't stop, and the driver driving in front didn't respond either.
An ominous premonition sprouted in Green's heart. He and Laura looked at each other, both of them being solemn.
Green lowered his voice and said, "We seem to have encountered something strange."
It was not the first time that Laura encountered strangeness. She behaved calmly, nodded slightly, and took out the long-barreled revolver inserted in her waist. As she held the pistol, a faint white light appeared on her wrist and the back of her hand, which was the vindictive spirit that was inspired. Dou Qi poured into the handle of the gun, the pistol appeared with runes, and the position of the muzzle flashed slightly.
At this time, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and some metal parts on the carriage were even covered with hoarfrost.
Outside the carriage, the people who were walking around like headless flies were all standing there, their eyes blank, dazed, and there were bursts of low and unpleasant whimpers from a distance.
Green clenched his staff and gave Laura a wink. Neither of them acted rashly.
At the same time, the low and unpleasant whimper went from far to near and then from near to far, directly passing from the top of the building on the street.
After a while, the whimper disappeared, the clouds cleared, the heavy rain stopped, and the people on the street returned to normal, but it was as if they were sick, and their spirits became lethargic.
Green and Laura in the carriage both breathed a sigh of relief but still had lingering fears. There was no doubt that a powerful strange passed by nearby.
However, just passing by nearby can change the astronomical phenomenon in a small range, and can also make people in a whole street lose their souls. This kind of scene, so powerful, is a formal level of strangeness coming to Langton City?
Fortunately, the other party does not seem to be malicious, at least not just now, otherwise, no one in this street, including Green and Laura, would have survived.
Green looked in the direction of the strange disappearance, which was the Rose Cafe where he and Laura met just now.
"It's an eventful time. The case of Baron Lonanx's murder has not been solved yet, and a more powerful and unscrupulous monster has come." Green thought to himself: "I don't know if this monster is an enemy or a friend before, and the weirdness is one after another. Appearing here, Langton City is really getting more and more dangerous.
Although there was an interlude in the middle, it did not affect Green's itinerary. After more than ten minutes, he followed Laura to Xiacheng and got off the carriage in front of an inconspicuous street building.
"Miss Claudius is here!" As soon as she entered the door, a very smart and well-behaved girl greeted her and was very enthusiastic about Laura.
After Laura's introduction, Green learned that the girl's name was Cindy. She was the lover and business receptionist of one-eyed Kerry King. She was a commoner and went to college. She was a very shrewd and precocious girl.
"What is the old one-eyed doing?" Laura took Green inside and asked casually.
Cindy made a helpless expression: "Dear, it's not a coincidence that you came here. The old man was called by the mayor and said that there was a business."
"What business is convenient to talk about?" Laura and Green were both curious.
Cindy said indifferently: "Who knows, it's mysterious." In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can understand that after she learned that Green's surname was Wilson and that she had the title of knight, she deliberately mentioned the mayor, which was to show that her own way was very wild, even the mayor. They do all their business, not inferior to the Wilson family, but a little bit blatant. Although they are shrewd, they are still immature.
Laura knew the other party's style long ago, and while Cindy wasn't paying attention, she shrugged at Green, indicating that she was not on the same path with this woman, and asked Green to wait for the old one-eyed to come back.
Green said it doesn't matter, just wait.
Then Cindy took them to a well-decorated reception room, made two cups of hot tea, and was very enthusiastic.
"By the way, Cindy, are there any new products in the market recently?" Laura asked after a sip of tea. The market in her mouth refers to the black market.
Cindy smiled bitterly and said, "There's nothing new, there's been a lot of wickedness lately. Those scumbags have been broken several times.
Tumouse refers to tomb robbers, these people are the main suppliers of black market goods.
"Oh? What's the specific situation?" Laura and Green were both intrigued.
"I just heard about it." Cindy said calmly: "Since half a month ago, it has often rained on sunny days around Langton City, and within the range of rain, people are confused, as if It was like losing their souls, and some people even went into madness. Those idiots encountered this situation several times, and they were all scared crazy and said they encountered something strange."
"It's raining!" Green's heart sank, recalling the situation he encountered just now, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that that weird person has been wandering around Langton City for a long time and now finally enters the city! Or this weirdness is also coming with those three elves. to Langton City?"
Unfortunately, Cindy was just anecdotal and didn’t know much, so she quickly changed the subject.
About half an hour later, a sturdy one-eyed man in his fifties wearing a black trench coat walked in from outside.
Although Kerry King is one-eyed and has a scar on his face, coupled with his bald rosacea appearance, not only does he not feel fierce, but it is somewhat funny, which really does not match his identity as a gangster.
greeted him for a while. After explaining his purpose, Kerry King was also very enthusiastic. He was worried that he couldn't handle the rubbish! It's a pity to throw it away, and no one wants it when it's sold.
"Since Mr. Wilson is interested, it's better to look at the goods before negotiating the price." One-eyed Kerrigin led Green and the others into the inside, followed a wooden staircase and entered a basement.
Although it is a basement, it is not damp and dark. After the gas lamp is turned on, the whole house is illuminated. The area is 70 to 80 square meters, and a dozen shelves are full of messy things.
"It's all here, Mr. Wilson can take whatever he likes, and the price is easy to negotiate." Kerry King looked like a good talker, but it was a businessman's face, ready to sell.
Green is not stupid, he glanced at the basement, shook his head and smiled: "Old one-eyed, I think we should talk about it first, we are all discerning people, you are all leftovers, some of them are simply fragments, and the words are unpleasant. Throwing it out is garbage, don’t even think about raising the price on the ground, let’s just be a little bit better today, don’t care about anything, how about I pick one or two gold pounds?”
The one-eyed Kerry Jin blinked his only remaining eye, thought for a moment, then nodded, and laughed: "This method works, no matter how much you lose, it all depends on luck and vision, but two gold pounds won't work, I want three gold pounds for one piece."
"Deal!" Green agreed directly, the price difference is only a few dozen gold pounds, and there is no need to be too entangled, and if there are too many things picked out, because the difference of one gold pound will cause him a heavy loss, he is not depressed, but more. Happy, because that means more psionic power in his cemetery.
After reached an agreement, Green began to search the basement under the watchful eyes of the three. He didn't check it carefully, just touched it at random, and quickly walked through three shelves without taking anything. This made Kerrigin frown a little. He didn't think that Green came here specifically to make fun of him. If he was so inattentive, it showed that Green had special means to distinguish whether these damaged antiques or magic items were valuable. Apparently none of the hundreds of items on the first three shelves were worth Green's hand.
Green almost had to walk past the fourth shelf, but stopped at the end, his eyes flashed brightly, then he smiled and pointed with his hand: "This is one piece." Then he put a very old one. , picked up the rusted half-truncated sword.
Seeing Green's careful selection and finally asking for half of the scrap iron, the three people watching the fun were a little surprised, Cindy simply didn't bother to watch, and turned around and left.
