Chapter 152 Roy King: Feeling a chill down my spine.
After a brief moment of excitement, Luo En quickly calmed down, and a question uncontrollably appeared in his mind: "Calamity Priest"—this Sequence name sounds rather ominous. Could it be that this Pathway truly brings disaster?
After all, that Calamity Priest did indeed die in a shipwreck, and Luo En thought of all the misfortunes he had encountered on his journey, and couldn't help but shiver.
"Forget it, I'll think about this after I advance. No matter what, advancing to increase my strength is always the right thing to do."
He temporarily set aside this question and continued to divine the remaining items.
Ultimately, he successfully determined the origins of two more Beyonder characteristics: one came from the curly-haired baboon that was supposedly struck dead by lightning, which was a Sequence 5 Mentor of Disorder from the Lawyer Pathway. The other came from a peculiar bird carcass, which was a Sequence 6 Scribe.
There were still three Beyonder characteristics left, and his divination failed for them. However, Luo En was calm about it; divination is not identification after all, and this result was already good enough.
Considering that time was short and Danitz could return at any moment, he did not continue his research.
He stuffed all the Beyonder characteristics and materials back into the storage space of "Square 3" and then removed the spiritual wall from the room, pretending as if nothing had happened.
About half an hour later, Danitz returned.
"How was it?" Luo En immediately asked.
"Not bad." Danitz took off his coat, picked up the wine on the table, and took a swig. "Bayam's so-called martial law doesn't seem as serious as we thought. The Storm Church has put most of its energy into the sea, and the city is fine; there aren't any large-scale search operations."
He paused and added, "But because of the Storm Church, the dock area is still under martial law. Many berths are occupied by their ships, which has drastically reduced passenger ship sailings. It's basically impossible for you to buy a ticket to leave."
After listening, Luo En pondered for a moment and asked, "What about Beyonder gatherings? Are there still any being held?"
"There are some, but—" Danitz frowned, "Brando, although the situation in Bayam seems okay for now, it's best not to wander around."
"I understand the reasoning—" Luo En sighed.
He recalled his ominous premonition, that feeling of being watched, which had not only not faded these past few days but had become increasingly clear. He had to do something.
"But, continuing to stay here and do nothing will probably lead to waiting for death."
"I need some things to protect myself."
Danitz fell silent upon hearing this. After a moment, he cursed, "Damn it, you always like to overthink things."
Although he really wanted to say that their current location was very safe and there was no need to worry, considering that Luo En was a somewhat uncanny Lucky One and his past keen intuition, Danitz had to seriously consider the problem he raised.
Ultimately, he was convinced by Luo En.
That evening, under Danitz's cover, Luo En put on an iron mask that covered most of his face and blended into a small Beyonder gathering held in an underground wine cellar.
The atmosphere of the gathering was somewhat subdued; everyone wore masks and spoke in deliberately low voices, clearly affected by the tense situation in the city.
Luo En blended into the crowd and didn't stand out much.
He was very low-key at this gathering. He didn't sell potion formulas or Beyonder characteristics, as that would be too conspicuous.
Now was an extraordinary time; though dangerous for wild Beyonders, it was also a good time to fish in troubled waters.
Many gangs liked to attack lone wild Beyonders and, to some extent, pin the blame on the Official, turning these incidents into unsolved cases that were impossible to verify.
Danitz had told Luo En many related incidents before, and before attending the gathering, he had specifically warned Luo En a few times...
Luo En himself was not a high-profile person. This time, he simply sold a few common materials and exchanged them for some cash.
Then, for a few hundred pounds, he successfully bought two charms sealed with a "Blast" effect, and one "Disguise" charm that could change one's appearance and figure.
According to the seller, the power of the "Blast" charm was likely equivalent to a small-caliber cannon shell.
As for the "Disguise" charm, it was somewhat of a double-edged sword; as its name suggests, it could disguise the user, but it was a one-time use, meaning once you used it, you couldn't change back—
Moreover, this kind of "charm" was a hot commodity, very expensive, and there was only one, which Luo En had bought after several price increases.
These two items didn't seem out of place to buy during this extraordinary time.
The "Blast" charm was to compensate for his lack of offensive means, and as for the "Disguise" charm—
Honestly, Luo En still valued his face very much. After all, since he transmigrated, he had been living with this face, and he still had many affairs in Backlund that required this face.
After all, if he truly wanted to manufacture firearms, the shares in the inherited arms factories from his original body would still be very useful.
But—just like when he encountered the shipwreck and Tracy, who can say what accidents might happen?
Luo En thought to himself, if he really encountered such an emergency, at most, he would truly get a new face.
Compared to his life, a face was nothing.
The transactions continued, some successful, some failed—just as the gathering was about to end, a hoarse, seemingly female voice, sounded amidst the noisy background.
"Does anyone have rosell's diary? I'm willing to pay a high price for it." The speaker was a person sitting in the shadows of a corner.
She wore a tightly wrapped black long dress and a plain white mask.
rosell's diary… Luo En's attention was instantly drawn to it.
But a moment later, he shook his head—he had indeed written many of Rosell's diaries, but unfortunately, those pages of Rosell's romantic history had sunk to the bottom of the sea with his suitcase.
Unless he wrote it on the spot, he couldn't produce it now—
If only I had known, I would have written a couple of pages when I was free these past two days, Luo En regretted in his heart.
Seeing no one respond, the woman wearing the white mask seemed a bit disappointed. She paused, then spoke again: "If no one is selling, I also have three pages of rosell's diary here. Is anyone interested in trading or buying?"
A very fanatical Rosell enthusiast, Luo En judged in his heart.
He was a bit tempted, after all, there weren't many Emperor Rosell enthusiasts at sea, and what if that diary contained some secrets related to "transmigration"?
As a senior transmigrator, Luo En was very interested in rosell's diary.
After a brief deliberation, Luo En raised his hand.
"I'm somewhat interested, but I'd like to see a page of the diary first.
You know, there are too many fakes of Emperor rosell's diary on the market."
"Okay." The woman didn't hesitate much and directly agreed to Luo En's request.
A moment later, with the help of a waiter, a page of rosell's diary was handed to Luo En.
"July 19th, Blood Moon Night. Mr. Door's answer confirmed one thing for me: the second blasphemy slate I saw in that ancient, hidden organization was not complete!"
blasphemy slate… Luo En subconsciously swallowed, this diary is not ordinary, it's very valuable!
No, I can't show it too obviously.
Luo En suppressed his inner excitement, pretending to casually flip through it a couple of times, and said in a calm voice.
"I don't think there's any problem; we can make the deal."
"Okay." The masked woman observed Luo En's reaction for a few moments, then nodded.
After Luo En spent over ten pounds buying the diary, the gathering was pretty much over.
With the help of the waiters, everyone left in batches.
Watching Luo En's retreating figure, the masked woman seemed pensive.
Is he just a simple Rosell enthusiast—or "How was your harvest?"
After Luo En came out, he circled around a few times and successfully met up with Danitz.
"'Blast' charm, that thing isn't as good as my fireball—" Danitz scoffed at Luo En's harvest,
"And the 'Disguise' charm, the Captain studied that thing, it puts strong pressure on the user's face, and there's a chance it could lead to death. Also, each person can only use it once at most, otherwise their head won't be able to bear it and will explode."
Danitz sighed slightly, seeing that Luo En had been scammed.
"If I had known, I would have gone with you."
Luo En didn't say much in response: "Forget it, if it really comes to changing faces, it's probably an emergency, and I'll have to use it no matter how great the risk."
He paused and continued: "I've bought the things, and I plan to visit Roy King in a couple of days."
Clang—
Roy King, who was leisurely eating dinner at his home in Bayam, suddenly put down his knife and fork. He frowned.
"Why do I feel a chill down my spine—"
