Chapter 518 Cursed Object (please subscribe)
Flea Bottom is located between Plantagenet and East York, known as the gap between heaven and hell. It is the largest flea market in Creston.
Here, you can see not only the poor people from the lower class, golden fingers, and vagrants... but also big businessmen, lawyers, doctors from the upper class... and even aristocratic girls looking for excitement.
It is close to the Woking River, has convenient transportation, complex terrain and buildings, and is a paradise for criminals to hide.
But the security is surprisingly good, or at least better than in East York.
A carriage stopped outside Flea Bottom, and after giving the driver the order to wait, Zhong Shenxiu and Kerry walked into the Flea Bottom Market.
The most eye-catching thing is not the various street stalls and shops, but the many more police officers than before.
Some of them were patrolling vigilantly, and some were posting notices. The inspector only glanced at Zhong Shenxiu and Kerry, and then left immediately and relaxedly.
"What happened?"
Kerry stepped forward to look at the wanted poster and exclaimed: "It turns out that in the previous attack, the prisoner was not completely arrested. There was also a dangerous prisoner who escaped...a female, with black hair and black eyes, who killed three security guards. Extremely dangerous... Citizens found out that the report was confirmed to be valid, and there was a reward of 10 pounds to 50 pounds. Why is there no reward for the arrest?"
'Because those bounty hunters basically can't catch them, and they may even die directly...'
Zhong Shenxiu added silently in his mind and nodded secretly: 'Sure enough, there are smart people...have any monks sneaked into Carleston? ’
As long as they are not like the Yuandan team, carelessly rushing straight from the sky and blending into the local team, there is still a chance to sneak in here.
'Another factor is that the infiltrator will not be too strong and will not attract too much attention...'
'Before the large-scale war between the two countries, the spy war has already begun... I don't know what kind of misfortune the Extraordinaries of the Clement Kingdom will suffer if they sneak into the depths of the Yanhan Second Empire...'
Because the target was an Oriental, the sheriffs were not very wary of the locals, and even became lax.
'They will soon suffer and realize that most monks are good at illusions...'
Zhong Shenxiu shook his head and followed Kerry deep into the flea market.
"Rosemary powder, good rosemary powder!"
"The holy water and holy oil produced by the church... are of high quality!"
"Candles made by mermaids can burn forever and keep a woman's youthful appearance forever..."
"Do you want to become an extraordinary person? The mysterious book that records the first rank only costs 90 pounds. No bargaining!"
…
Countless shouts gathered together, creating a noisy atmosphere.
"Don't trust these vendors and roadside stalls... They are here today, but they may not be there tomorrow. They are the easiest group to sell fake goods."
Kerry lowered his voice a little and said: "If you want to buy items, I still recommend going to a fixed store. Although the price is high, it is not easy to be deceived..."
"I want to buy real mysterious knowledge, even a sequence chain. Of course, the more complete the better." Zhong Shenxiu said his plan.
"My classmate recommended a shop to me. Although the price is high, the owner is a trustworthy person."
With envy in his eyes, Kerry led the way.
He also wanted to become an extraordinary person, but firstly, he did not have enough money to acquire knowledge, and secondly, he was not prepared to take other risky and unknown paths.
His plan is to do his best to express himself in the Royal Academy, gain the favor of professors or royal members, and get the opportunity to become an extraordinary person.
But it's not easy.
Not to mention that it often takes years to conduct inspections, but also because there are too many outstanding young people in the Royal Academy.
Kerry was originally a relatively well-known young scholar in his hometown, but after arriving at university, he discovered that his knowledge, experience, and even etiquette and appearance were at the bottom.
This is a huge blow to the original proud man.
Zhong Shenxiu ignored Kerry's complicated expression and followed him to a large store, where he saw the sign - Crying Rose!
"It looks like a shop run by a woman..."
He muttered deliberately and entered the store.
There are no windows in the store, and the light is maintained by candles on a huge silver sill on the dome.
Countless wax paste has covered the entire candlestick, and it seems that it will drip down at any time.
There are no containers around, only a few different curtains forming corresponding doors. It seems that there are many tents set up inside the building.
"Two distinguished guests, what do you need?"
A maid wearing a complicated purple robe greeted her respectfully.
"We want to buy mysterious knowledge, well, it was introduced by Silver-haired Horn." Kerry cleared his throat.
"It turns out that I was introduced by a regular customer. Please take the red door." The maid bowed.
Zhong Shenxiu opened the curtain first and walked into the red door.
He felt as if he had walked into a library, with all kinds of books displayed on the surrounding mahogany bookshelves.
Parchment scrolls, printed books, messy manuscripts... are piled together in a mess.
In the middle of the bookshelf, there is a mysterious witch in a purple dress and mask. On the table in front of her, there is a golden skull.
At this time, the skull seemed to sense someone coming, and two bright flames suddenly rose up.
Being stared at by the flame, Kerry shuddered unconsciously and felt a chill running down his spine.
"Two guests, please do not read the books here without permission, otherwise you will be punished by the cursed object of the deceased..."
The witch in purple skirt spoke, her voice was hoarse and low, with a mysterious charm.
"Is this the legendary curse of the dead?"
Kerry became interested, stared at the golden skull, and exclaimed: "I heard that I don't know how these cursed objects were formed, but they all have their own weird abilities and are full of misfortune. Most of their holders The end was miserable, as if he had been cursed by the dead..."
"Giggle..." The witch let out a hoarse laugh: "Actually, cursed objects are just a special type of mysterious items, but their negative effects are relatively powerful. If you don't know how to avoid them, you will indeed encounter bad luck... Such as this A skull, its ability is to issue undead laws, such as prohibiting unauthorized reading within a certain range, and the negative effects... Please forgive me, I can't say it, unless the customer buys it..."
Kerry seemed very moved, but just seeing the gold texture made him cover his pocket sadly.
"In my opinion, they look more like shoddy products that failed to be produced..."
Zhong Shenxiu came to the witch and put forward his request: "I need to buy mysterious knowledge. The higher the level, the more comprehensive the better. There is also information about the sequence chain..."
