Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Chapter 147 Mutual Benefit

Since Kurt had read the original work, he naturally knew the approximate location of Zillingus, so he directly saved Hugh and the others the time and effort of searching for Isengard.

After some reasoning, he directly "stole" Detective Isengard's conclusion: "In conclusion, we can roughly determine the pirate general's area of ​​activity. He lived not far from the Backlund Bridge area, unlikely in the West End—so probably on both sides of the Tasok River in the Joewood area—"

"The information Audrey has provided so far can only lead to a conclusion."

Hugh and Fors were taken aback by Kurt's words, but they both nodded in agreement. Fors took a drag of his cigarette and said, "That makes a lot of sense."

Hugh nodded in agreement, while Kurt smirked and said, "Zilingus, or rather the extraordinary item he possesses, is dangerous. You'd better not act alone; it's best to act in pairs. Fors's bracelet can help reduce your risks to some extent—of course, you can ask me before you act. If I have time, I will accompany you to ensure your safety."

He couldn't stay with these two ladies every day; it depended on the situation—after all, he had other things to do, and many strongholds hadn't been cleared yet.

Of course, it's not that you can't offer some help to your friends.

Kurt took out two rings he had previously made, modeled after items infected by the Source Castle's aura, and explained slightly, "I'm sorry, I only prepared rings. You don't need to wear them, just keep them on your person. As for the effects, you can infuse them with spiritual energy when you encounter danger, and use their extraordinary abilities. If I'm nearby, I'll come to your rescue."

The price is that they will be slowly "fixed" by Kurt's source matter, and soon Kurt will forcibly pull them into that space—these rings have also been "contaminated" by the source castle, which will accelerate this process.

Fors and Hugh asked with a mixture of curiosity and excitement, "What extraordinary abilities does it possess?"

Having used the bracelet, Fors clearly knew that the extraordinary abilities of high-sequence bracelets were very powerful and useful.

After thinking for a moment, Kurt decided that he didn't need to suppress Hugh and Fors' abilities too much, so he fixed the practical Dawn property on it. In other words, Hugh and Fors could use this ring to summon an armor that could at least withstand bullets.

Even if it's a temporary added ability, it's still only at the Sequence Six level, and for Hugh and Fors, who are still at Sequence Nine, it requires a lot of spirituality to maintain.

So Kut stored some spiritual energy in it, enough for about three hours of use.

There's also a passive skill: Danger Perception, an ability borrowed from the Source Castle. The thought of being able to directly use the extraordinary abilities obtained through recruitment after sequence advancement, and even bestow them upon believers—although the main credit goes to the Source Essence—is exciting. Without the Source Essence's blessing, it would at best be a path with a relatively high ceiling.

After He Xiu and Fors finished speaking, they were somewhat apprehensive when they heard that they could easily block bullets. After all, in the lower sequences, apart from some defensive skills like the Illusion Scale of the Wrathful People, bullets are still very lethal to them. It is not incomprehensible that they would be killed by ordinary people with guns if they were not careful. In fact, some Sequence 5 people would also be killed by bullets.

Free—is something like that something Mr. Kurt can just casually offer? No wonder he seemed uninterested in Audrey's request—well, or rather, is Mr. Kurt pursuing me?

Uh, no, no, what am I thinking? Hugh also got his help. He can't possibly pursue both of us at once, right? Kurt is obviously not that kind of person.

Hugh was thinking about how to pay for something commensurate with this extraordinary item; she didn't want to take the ring for nothing—before she could even react.

Kurt suddenly continued, "Miss Hugh, I've accidentally acquired the extraordinary trait of a sheriff. You no longer need to search for potion ingredients. 500..."

pound."

A typical Sequence 8 extraordinary ability would cost around 600 or 700 pounds, but Coulter got Hugh a discount—

"Huh? This—I haven't saved enough money yet. And this ring—"

Knowing that Kurt was not going to say anything, he shook his head and interrupted directly: "No one will be kind to you for no reason. Haven't you noticed? You have become the official informants forever. No matter where you run, I can find you. In the occult, we have established an inseparable connection. In the words of Emperor Roselle, we are now in the same boat."

"You are only at Sequence Nine now, so naturally I won't let you do anything big. Therefore, your growth will only benefit me. In short, I won't be polite to you when it's not appropriate. I'll give you whatever you need. Similarly, the things I give you are also based on my own considerations, so there's no need for you to feel guilty."

"I'm quite happy to be with you all, and this is part of a mutually beneficial arrangement, so please accept it. If you want to repay me, try your best to get promoted quickly and make yourself useful."

The main point is that for Kurt, these two rings were really just a matter of consuming some metal and spiritual energy, which was hardly a loss. However, in the eyes of ordinary extraordinary beings, this was a sealed artifact that had already reached the threshold of Sequence Seven, with the only side effect being that it was targeted by a "benevolent" evil god.

After listening to Kurt's explanation, Fors and Hugh stopped hesitating and finally accepted the gift without hesitation. Kurt nodded in satisfaction.

Back at the watch shop, Kurt invited them into his home. When they asked about the gentleman who had been minding the shop, Kurt explained the situation to them, and they expressed their regret and sorrow.

Then Kurt inquired about the task of collecting those small items and discovered that Hugh had completed it perfectly. Moreover, he had treated them as ordinary items to be sold throughout the process. Because Kurt deliberately made them look like antiques, they were all sold out quickly at very low prices.

Finally, Hugh first gave all of his savings of 300 pounds to Kurt, and then obtained the Extraordinary ability from Kurt. Fors, on the other hand, used his newly received manuscript fee plus his previous savings to acquire the Trick Master's recipe.

Kurt made another 700 pounds. Extraordinary business really makes money fast. This was Kurt's first reaction after receiving the money and seeing off the two ladies who looked pained.

Of course, after that, Kurt didn't plan to sell any more Sequence 7 formulas to Fors and Hugh. He wanted them to make their own. And if Fors had just spent a lot of money to buy the formulas and then joined the Abraham family, knowing that these things could have been obtained for free—her expression would have been priceless.

The crimson moon hung in the sky as always, and Kurt put on his all-nighter bracelet and headed to the East District. When he had nothing to do at night, he would go and rescue some trafficked girls and slaves.
