Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 53 Trading
About an hour later, Lewis finally met Caspers. The fifty-year-old man seemed a little surprised to see Lewis.

"You seem to have arrived a little early." Caspers said in a deep voice.

Lewis frowned, he looked at the other person in surprise, and thought, “Didn’t you ask me to come earlier?”

“Well, can I join the party, please?” Lewis did not show any impatience, but still asked in a calm voice.

"You need to pay two pounds," Kaspers replied, pinching his rosacea.

Lewis delivered another two pounds with a pained heart, and Caspers asked Lewis to wait in the card room while he limped away.

After waiting for about five minutes, Caspers came back again, followed by two men in plain clothes. They were his usual card-playing partners.

"The party will be held at eight o'clock in the evening. Come to me at seven o'clock and you can join the party then." Caspers gave Lewis an iron mask that only covered the upper half of his face and said.

“Wait, you said the party would be held at eight o’clock in the evening, so you asked me to come earlier?” Lewis frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

"I thought you knew the situation." Caspers sat down. He was originally planning to take Lewis to see the "Eye of Wisdom" to confirm that Lewis was not an official spy.

However, the party organizer, Mr. "Wise Eyes", did not seem to care about Lewis's identity.

"Okay." Lewis shook his head helplessly. He put away the mask and prepared to kill time.

"Wait a minute." Just as Lewis was about to leave the card room, Caspers stopped him. His face was a little serious, and he reminded him: "Don't go to billiard room No. 2 today. There is a scary guy there. Believe me, you don't want to meet him."

"In fact, I have met him, and due to some special reasons, he was hit by a zombie." Lewis smiled and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Lewis drank and had fun at the Brave Bar, where he won a small sum of two pounds playing cards.

As soon as seven o'clock arrived, Lewis went to find Caspers and, under Caspers's guidance, walked to the kitchen of the bar.

The two men walked through the alley behind the bar and eventually came to a dark area behind the bar.

Caspers knocked on the door rhythmically. After seven or eight seconds, a small wooden board on the door was suddenly pulled open, revealing brown eyes behind it.

After being scrutinized for a while, Lewis was finally allowed to enter the party, while Caspers returned the same way.

The party took place in a dark living room with a candle lit on the coffee table. A dozen people, all dressed in hooded robes and iron masks, sat on the sofas and chairs around the coffee table.

Lewis found a chair and sat down. After a while, a lady with a few strands of blonde hair stood up and said:

"I want to sell a special item. It's a walking stick with a hidden effect. As long as you hold it and hide in the shadows, it will be difficult for ordinary people to see you. It can be used for another two years. It costs 150 pounds."

Lewis immediately became interested in this item. As long as he got it, he could hide in the shadows and pray to the "Fool" without being discovered. Seeing that none of the extraordinary people who came to the party spoke, Lewis lowered his voice and said in a deeper voice: "130 pounds, if possible, I will buy this extraordinary item."

The lady stood there for about three seconds, then said firmly: "Deal!"

After paying the money, Lewis happily received his first extraordinary item, although the practicality of this extraordinary item was indeed average.

Of course, his main purpose of coming here was not just to get the extraordinary items, but more importantly, he could hire someone here to kill Barry.

It would be best if Barry died without anyone knowing, so that he could completely get rid of the shadow of the "Blood Cult".

When Lewis's deal was over, a chubby-faced man took out two bottles of green potions. He showed them to everyone present and said:
"I prepared these two bottles of potion. They are effective for one and a half months. They can help men regain the impulse they had when they were eighteen, and turn them into extraordinary men in bed. Even after the expiration date, it is still effective, but the effect will spread throughout the body. The user will become violent in a short period of time, with a significant increase in strength and speed, and will become weak after half an hour."

Lewis frowned. He remembered this extraordinary person who liked to sell special medicines. If he remembered correctly, the other party should be a pharmacist. This pharmacist has not yet found the formula for the potion for promotion.

Of course, Lewis didn’t know the formula of the next stage of the “pharmacist’s” potion, otherwise, he would consider selling it to the other party at a high price.

Even though this pharmacist was not very serious, the unorthodox herbal medicine he prepared did make money and even became a treasure that the aristocracy vying for.

Sure enough, soon after the pharmacist finished speaking, someone offered twenty-five pounds and bought the two bottles of medicine.

When everyone present had almost finished their transactions, Lewis lowered his voice again and said:

"I want to sell the potion formula, Sequence Nine 'Fortune Teller', and its next stage formula, Sequence Eight 'Clown'."

As Lewis spoke, there was silence for a few seconds, and then a lady whose face was completely covered by the shadow of the hood spoke up and asked, "What price do you want?"

Lewis paused and replied, "700 pounds, that's a very reasonable price."

The lady did not agree and looked at the "Eye of Wisdom" sitting on the single sofa.

The old man Eye of Wisdom coughed and said, "This price is indeed very cost-effective. Moreover, the formulas of Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 are sold together, which can save you trouble later."

After receiving the evaluation from the Eye of Wisdom, the lady looked at Lewis again and said seriously, "I can give you a rune steel sword. It was made by the Church of the Eternal Sun. It has the effect of purification and exorcism. It is the nemesis of water ghosts, resentful spirits and undead creatures. It can be used for three years. This extraordinary item will offset 500 pounds, and I will give you the remaining pounds in cash."

"Sorry, if it's some other extraordinary item, I can consider it if the price is right." Lewis thought about it and then shook his head.

The function of this item is too simple, and its function overlaps with that of the Azik Copper Whistle.

The lady lowered her head. After a moment, she raised her head again and asked again, "If I only want the magic potion formula of the Fortune Teller, how much can you sell it for?"
