EBE Chapter 322 Extraordinary Items
Chapter 322 Extraordinary Items
At this time, Zhou Ning was still thinking about the poorhouse. It was not until Rich Burke called out to him that he came to his senses and got off the carriage with him.
In front of him was a rather old house. Zhou Ning couldn't help but feel a little strange. The craftsmen who could make extraordinary items would definitely not be short of money, because they must be well versed in alchemy, forging, and enchantment, and understand the combination of extraordinary effects and negative effects, only then would they be qualified to make extraordinary items.
If they were a wealthy and powerful party, why would they leave their hometown, the Byron Republic, and live in such a remote old house? And I had never heard of it in my previous life?
Rich Burke walked up and knocked on the door.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Who is it?" A rough and hoarse voice came from inside.
"It's me, Rich Burke from the North. We had an appointment before, and former Finance Minister Adam Eden acted as my guarantor." Rich Burke said.
Adam Aiden? Zhou Ning was slightly startled. This was the second time Zhou Ning had heard this name. The first time was when Sherlock told him that Adam Aiden witnessed Charles VI's transformation into a giant and reported it to the Sun Watcher. Because his family motto was "honesty", he was not suspected. Now that he thought about it, the surname Aiden seemed to be the same as Jeremy Aiden. Was this also a coincidence?
Silence fell inside. After a full ten minutes, just when Zhou Ning was getting a little impatient, the door opened with a click. A tall man, shrouded in a black wizard robe and unable to see his features, walked out and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Come in with me."
This man should be Ignati Woods mentioned by Rich Burke.
The inside of the house was equally dilapidated, with smelly garbage piled up everywhere, giving people a feeling of having no place to step. Zhou Ning followed Ignati Woods into the room and sat down on a low stool nearby.
Without any nonsense, Ignati Woods asked straight to the point: "Show me the materials you can provide, and what type of extraordinary items you want to make?"
Zhou Ning took out the materials he had prepared from the inventory and placed them on the table one by one. They were the black crystalline extraordinary material dropped from Archibald, a rare material that could increase spell strength, an extraordinary material from the ghost wizard Gran Vaughan, and an extraordinary material from the spider Argus obtained yesterday.
"I hope to create an offensive extraordinary item, preferably armor or jewelry."
Ignati Woods glanced at these items and looked at them for a long time. "I can make you an ornament. It will most likely be an unknown object. Considering the materials, the finished product must be dark. Is that okay?"
"Then what negative impact will there be?" Zhou Ning asked.
"We don't know yet. No one can answer your question before the finished product is produced, but it is probably not serious," said Ignati Woods.
"Then what price do I need to pay and how long is the production cycle?" Zhou Ning nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask.
"780 Vectra, it will take at least four days." Ignati Woods replied.
"Deal." If it were before, Zhou Ning might have hesitated because it was too expensive, but now with the income from the magic satin cloth and the hundreds of thousands of Victors in the future from the Mithril Puppet, he had no shortage of money. He agreed without hesitation. I have plenty of money!
After negotiating the price, just as Ignati Woods reached out to pick up the materials on the table, his sleeves fell down a little, revealing a small piece of skin with purple spots.
Zhou Ning's pupils shrank slightly, thinking of the other party's tall stature and the fact that he had left his hometown. There was only one possibility: the other party was a degenerate similar to Richard Pesa, but he had used some method to suppress the process of degeneration and maintain his sanity.
But he didn't show it. He said goodbye calmly, got on the carriage and left Sweet Water Lane.
"Do you know where Ignatius Woods came from? And how do you know Adam Eden?" Zhou Ning looked at Rich Burke and asked.
"All I know is that Ignatius Woods is from the Byron Republic and came here three months ago. He attended several supernatural gatherings in the old town before and sold two opportunities to create supernatural items. That's when I met him. After that, he only did business with acquaintances. As for Adam Aiden... I met him when I was still serving on the Myrney Rooster. He and Earl Robbins visited the pirate port on Grunt Island. Aaron Ingersoll has a better relationship with him. There's a rumor that Aaron traded his pair of 'Will Ragley's Settlements' from him."
Zhou Ning nodded, lost in thought. The sheer coincidence of all this frightened him. So, Adam Aiden's identity was far from simple. Could he, like Earl Robbins, be a believer in the God of Death, long dead himself, and therefore unbound by the family motto of "honesty"? The giant of Charles VI he presented to the Sun Guardians was merely bait, a means of attracting their attention, perhaps with a more ulterior motive? Considering the Curse Cult's modus operandi, this seemed to be the case.
At this moment, the progress of the long-dormant "Find the Truth About the Giant" quest on the task panel suddenly jumped significantly, from 27% to 55%. As expected... Zhou Ning couldn't help but pinch his brows, his thoughts continuing to wander.
So could it be that the purpose of the Life Alchemy Society's participation in the conspiracy was not to deify Charles VI, but that there was someone else who truly wanted to become a god, perhaps a high-ranking member of the Life Alchemy Society, or perhaps a high-ranking member of the Kingdom of Braxton?
Zhou Ning seemed to have grasped some of the threads of the whole thing.
…………
The carriage stopped at the gate of Wick University. Zhou Ning brought Richie Burke to his alchemy shop. Since he had told the players yesterday that he would come to the alchemy shop for business in the next two days, there were surprisingly many people in front of his alchemy shop. He could feel Richie Burke's legs trembling, probably because he thought about how he would be responsible for greeting so many people in the future.
We've only just begun! Zhou Ning walked into the crowd and patted Richie Burke on the shoulder. "This is the newest member of the Star Guild and its only official at the moment: Richie Burke. He's a high-ranking thief and historian. From today on, he'll be working with me to assign guild tasks. You can also complete tasks (missions) in exchange for his guidance."
Just as Zhou Ning expected, as soon as he finished speaking, many players turned to Richie Burke and started asking questions, trying to trigger the task.
Soon he was surrounded by more players.
During this period, the players saved a lot of money, and after more than an hour, many good things were bought one after another.
Previously, a female player took a picture of Stone Face. Although its combat effectiveness decreased during the day and it could only fight indoor monsters or do life jobs by hanging up, and would be killed by the sun from time to time, its combat effectiveness was ridiculously strong. At night, its physical attributes were fully enhanced, and its dreamy dance steps enhanced its viewing experience. It turned a noob into a decent master and attracted countless fans.
Therefore, when Zhou Ning arrived today, more than a dozen players asked to "stop being human". From time to time, players screamed "Ah" and were sun-dried to death, turning into light and flying away.
In addition, a large number of potions, devil fruits, and invitations to the Star Guild were also sold. Including the spots reserved for the Northern Pirates, the Star Guild still had nearly 50 vacancies. Zhou Ning brought 25 invitations with him this time, and they were all sold out in no time.
