Chapter 30
Donald did not set a detailed transaction time with the seller codenamed Jazz, which he did deliberately, on the grounds that there might be an urgent matter tomorrow and could not come, in fact, it was a common push and pull in transactions.
He doesn’t want the other party to realize his urgency, but wants to create an atmosphere where you don’t trade with me, and you only lose.
Only in this way will the Jazz prepare to trade items with all their heart, otherwise, with Donald’s eyesight, he really can’t see the way out if the other party’s things are good or bad.
spell skill scroll, this is the reward Donald promised to translate the second slate, of course, it’s not the high level spell scroll that must be taken out, you can also win by quantity, as long as the total value is not lower than Clock Meditation Method.
Donald would not be afraid if the other party took out a bunch of low-level spell scrolls, and would even accept it readily. What he lacks now is the foundation.
He doesn’t have the systematic training of the orthodox church, which is equivalent to crossing the river by feeling the stones. There is no way to let him retreat. He must be steady, so it is always right to have a firm foundation.
Leaving the Rare Item area, the underground market at this time can be said to have no regrets. With self-protection of firearms in a short period of time, I can finally resist in the face of danger, and I exchange the knowledge in my mind for a copy The Meditation Method is quite good, and you can start to improve your spirit strength after you go back.
During the predicament, Donald seems to have grasped the means of survival.
He didn’t leave in a hurry, but stayed in the outer layer. There was still some money left. Donald was hanging out at the grocery stall. I glanced at it quietly, trying to find out the treasure buried by the discarded debris.
It’s just that luck seems to have been used up in the previous two transactions. Donald wandered around the outer junk area and turned his eyes into red eyes like a rabbit, so sour, he could only squint. Eyes gave up, thinking that the books I read before were really unreliable, how easy it is to find treasures on these ordinary stalls.
In fact, this is also an environmental problem. Now is the period of booming industry. Machinery and capital are the main theme of this era. Coupled with the propaganda and suppression of the government and the church, many good things come to mind immediately. If it is sold to the church, it will not only give money, but also provide job opportunities, so there will naturally be less things that come from the underground market.
The lower the item base, the higher the chance of a good item. It’s like buying a lottery ticket. It depends on luck.
Since he didn’t find anything, Donald simply went to the cane shop he saw between the weapons area and bought a hidden knife cane for 1 gold pound.
Donald is a social person these days. Sherlock has mentioned letting him find time to buy a cane in the past two days. As a gentleman, how can he go out without a cane?
That would make people feel weird, even though Donald didn’t have such thoughts and habits, but a walking stick is indispensable when going as the locals do.
Donald took great care to choose this cane, and chose the simplest one from a pile of gold-plated and silver-plated canes. On the one hand, it was cheap, on the other hand, he did not forget his Identity, Detective Sherlock Swift’s assistant, he remembers that Boss’ cane is silver-plated, and he takes one inlaid with gold? Isn’t that causing trouble for yourself?
The position of the handle is a wooden T-shaped, with some curvature, which is easy to grasp. The body of the stick is the most common ash wood, and the middle ring is embedded with a layer of brass. Pull it out again, and the knife inside can be unsheathed immediately.
Not to mention, Donald himself has a good image and temperament, holding this cane is really handsome and stylish.
There are still funds left, but they can’t be used any more.
Returned to the surface, looked at the time, at ten o’clock, the night in the restaurant was a bit deserted, only a few scattered customers were still eating, and the waiter had already started to clean the floor.
People’s work and rest time is always linked to the situation of the city. In a medium-sized city such as Preston, citizens will go home one after another around 10:30, except for the second day to have a job The reason, in fact, is because crime is common in the city.
After eleven o’clock, it is officially late at night, and wandering alone can easily attract those “hyenas” in the shadows, all take responsibility for the consequences.
Failed to find a nearby carriage carrying passengers, Donald had no choice but to walk home. Fortunately, he recognized the direct way from the detective office to the commercial street, so he went to the office first and then turned back home. , about half an hour away.
The first half of the section of the road went smoothly and nothing happened. However, when Donald walked from the entrance of the office to Iris Street, something went wrong.
From the moment Donald entered Gesang Street, he had an inexplicable feeling that somewhere there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him, just like you were just watching a horror movie, whether sitting or Lying down, whether in the bedroom or in the living room, I always feel that something is watching in the shadows, and my heart is involuntarily panicked.
The shops on the commercial street are mostly clothing stores or grocery stores. The closing time of such shops is usually at 9:00 pm, so the lively streets during the day are already empty at this time, only the buildings on both sides. There was still some light leaking from the curtains above.
Stepping up subconsciously, Donald’s eyes searched for something that reflected the situation behind him, such as shop window glass.
I didn’t see anything, and there was an empty street behind me. Rows of kerosene lampposts cast a halo on the ground. Although it was bright, it brought out the darkness where the light did not reach.
He didn’t dare to look back at will. According to his experience in some episodes he had watched in the past, when he turned back at this time, he would not only see nothing, but would also let the other party know that he had noticed something strange. Maybe it will start early.
If it’s not an illusion, someone is indeed following… Could it be that the cult found out that he was still alive and wanted to deal with him again?
Recalling the person he and Sherlock first saw on the street the day before yesterday when they went to the detective office, Donald’s heart tightened, and his right hand seemed to be swaying randomly around his waist. The button on the gun reveals the handle of the gun at the waist, and the panic in my heart is reduced a little. Fortunately, I just bought a firearm. Even if the shooting accuracy is not very good, it is life and death, and it is good to use it as a deterrent. , and can also alert the surrounding residents to the police.
Try to walk forward by the street lights and keep yourself in the light. It is about ten minutes away from Iris Street.
Snoring
A low whimper came from his throat, and somewhere behind Donald, a sturdy, bristly hand touched the stone wall outside the alley, and drew a line. Road white marks.
