Chapter 595 Second Blood

Shade didn't tell them, he planned to go into life and death to find Aogu Priest thing, but plans to wait until tomorrow afternoon when the group meeting, think of the wording and then talk about it together.

You don't have to think about it, the girls are definitely against Shade doing this.

"Shade, Daddy John is here this afternoon."

As soon as she walked to the second floor with her head down, Mia rushed over and Shade was holding it , said the blonde girl in the study.

"What is Daddy John doing here?"

Shade asked while hugging the excited cat, who sniffed at Shade's front suspiciously. .

"Dad said that the special blood you want to buy is available, he paid the deposit for you, and the blood has arrived at his pawn shop, so you have time to bring the money to take it away. What do you buy? How expensive are you? Papa John actually came to find you?"

Dorothy asked, putting on her pen cap, sitting behind the elegant desk in the study and pressing her neck, then He walked out with a smile:

"You don't know how surprised Dad was when he knocked on the door and saw Luvia and I who opened the door."

Old John was very familiar with the Schneider group, so he said he was "surprised", but he didn't think much of it.

"Is there anyone looking for me in the afternoon? There won't be a client coming?"

Shade asked again, putting the cat on the coffee table.

"No client came to your door, didn't you say that you might not meet a client in a week for your business?"

Luvia also walked down from the third floor , she wiped her palms with a towel, and Shade could vaguely smell the oil lubricating the mechanical bearings.

"But at least I make a lot of money."

Shade speak frankly, Luvia shrugged:

"But how do I remember, your income is big Part from the other side?"

"Yes, the duchess."

Dorothy teased.

The three of them went out together and had dinner at the restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue before the two ladies went back separately. But they'll all be back tomorrow, with Luvia fiddling with her astrology equipment, and Dorothy helping to keep an eye on the cat so Shade doesn't come back and starve him all day.

And after saying goodbye to the two ladies, Shade took Mia and the gold pound to Old John's pawn shop. Papa John lives upstairs from the pawn shop, so it closes very late:

“Good evening, Papa.”

When Shade opened the door, the The old man is keeping accounts. Hearing the voice lifts the head and greeted him, and after finishing the accounting of the ledger in his hand, he talked to Shade about the business:

"I know you are in a hurry to ask for special blood, so I will help you in advance to my friend I paid the deposit and asked him to send the blood. Don't say that you don't have enough cash, so you can't afford it."

While talking, Old John called for Shade's help, and the two went under the counter together. , take out a wooden crate.

As soon as the box was pried open with a crowbar, the cold air rushed out. The wooden crate was full of straws, and among the straws were some ice cubes for cooling, but most of them had melted.

Old John reached out and rummaged through the straw and found a cold brass-colored metal box. After opening it, the coldness is even heavier, and there are two pieces of solid ice inside. And between the ice cubes, is a long glass tube the thickness of a thumb, and the viscous red blood seems to have coagulated because of the low temperature.

"Why the fishy smell?"

Shade asked, Mia looked curiously at the box in front of her, but didn't jump into the straw.

"It was delivered by ship with the cold-stored catch, of course it had a fishy smell." Takes out the glass tube:
"Oh my god, it's so cold. Shade, take it!"

Handing the glass tube to Shade, he rubs his hands violently. And Shade, who took over the glass tube, also felt the chill of the glass tube.

He thought about it for a while, then brought the glass tube to the cat on his shoulder, and Mia immediately barked to stop Shade's behavior.

This cat is not stupid enough to risk freezing its tongue to lick this thing.

"What kind of blood is this?"

Shade curiously asked.

"The blood of the Rhine demon, shake the container."

Shade shook the glass tube in his hand slightly, and the fresh red blood gradually showed distinct rainbow colors. .

"It's really beautiful."

"Blood is beautiful, but the Rhine is extremely dangerous.

This is a kind of small island active in the open sea. It is an extremely dangerous alien creature. According to legend, the number of the entire population has been maintained within 49. In any case, when you see a Rhine demon, you must kill a relative who is related to yourself, otherwise parents, children and Spouse all die. So, besides being called 'Rhine sect', this dangerous thing is also called 'extinguish sect'."

Old John was speechless:
"Very Dangerous, only God knows why such creatures exist. There is a saying that they were created to restrain a terrifying warp evil that is very reproductive, but this statement has not been confirmed In any case, the blood of the Rhine Demon is extremely precious, which can be used as an auxiliary material for a variety of rare potions. Advanced, you must use this blood as a ceremony material."

"It's really good, how much?"

Shade is very satisfied.

"I won't negotiate with you this time. It's a friend's thing. He wants 4,900 pounds."

This price is very expensive. You know, 4,900 pounds can even buy a A useful Weapon Category relic, the murloc elixir that Shade sold, doesn't have that price either. But the problem is that, according to Father John's description, the price is only a little higher. After all, Shade needs it very urgently. Under normal circumstances, Shade thinks that 4500 may be able to buy it. .

"My friend had a feud with a 9-ring vampire for this blood. You don't know how dangerous the situation was."

Old John said again, and began to pack the wooden box.

"Forget it, 4,900 pounds is 4,900 pounds."

Shade said with a sigh, actually thinking of going to Miss Galina tomorrow to get another kind of blood. In this way, the second adventure in 3014 of the Fifth Age, which he had delayed by a whole week, could begin.

It just so happens that Shade is going to enter the boundary between life and death in the past day or two, and he doesn't know what will happen inside, so he can take the blood, the key and the door pendant with him. He can go to the past time to rest for 30 minutes.

He believes that even in places where life and death are unknown, the [Time Key] can still be used.

"I bought a very expensive spell at the St. Byrons Library the other day, and if I hadn't won some money later, I wouldn't have even come up with that much cash. Your friend is really I can't afford him any higher price."

He started taking money from his pocket. After this high consumption, he only had more than 200 pounds in savings. . The gold pound in his hand is about to drop below double digits, which makes foreigners feel a lot of anxiety.

Papa John had seen Shade pull out a banknote that would never fit in his pocket before, so he wasn't surprised:
"Didn't you just win £3,000 because of a big city player? Don't do that. Sorrowful, youngster, gold pounds are earned by spending.

And for my sake, I only charge you £4,900, otherwise it's £5,000. Oh, I It also bet on you to win, so the shipping fee will not be charged to you. Detective, you can never imagine how many people died for this blood before he got this blood. Although these lives have nothing to do with us, they are really only worth it in the end. Four thousand nine hundred pounds."

"So, we have to be someone who can put a price on our own lives."

Shade said, the old man looked towards him unexpectedly, nodded:

"That's true, and I'm glad you're aware of it. But before you embark on a stressful adventure, I need to remind you that this blood is cryogenically stored. No matter how you plan to use it, save it. No more than a week."

This world is so real that any material expires, not forever.

"I understand, Papa John."

He put the glass tube back into the ice, the cold feeling reminding him of the shriveled wallet at the moment:

p>

"The purchase of rare blood is still going on, I still need blood."

Before leaving, I did not forget to remind, after all, the third reception still requires blood.

"It's not easy, I'll help you find out, and remember to have your money ready."

Dad shrugs, so Shade finds a way to get himself some money.

Mia and the tube of blood were sent home first, then changed into an old Detective Sparrow outfit that she had never worn before, and then put on a wide-brimmed black hat, and Shade was in the dark Went out in a hurry.

He didn't intend to get involved in the "grey-headed eagle" and the spies of neighboring countries, but now is the time to spend the money, and he also has to deal with the tasks that Detective Sparrow has not completed. Done.

The information obtained from Mr. Virgil Cameron needs to be passed on to 1 Vic Street. It was a street in the lower city. In the city map left by Detective Sparrow, this street was not specially marked.

The carriage took Shade to the intersection. After getting off the car, I could only see a few gas street lamps flickering vague yellow rays of light on the misty street.

The municipal maintenance of downtown is very poor, and the gas street lights on Vic Street don't know when they were erected. At first glance, only two-thirds of the lights are still on.

One Vic Street is right at the corner, after the street sign to be exact. Standing on the street looking at the buildings, the lights are on in each layer of the three-story apartment building, and the curtains are drawn at every window.

The street was so quiet that Shade couldn't hear anything from the house.

"The problem now is that I know the location of the information, but I don't know how to tell others that I have information."

He thought to himself, stepping up the steps, hesitating. Knocked on the door.

A few seconds later, footsteps appeared behind the door. Without asking who was outside the door, the person behind the door opened the door directly, but did not remove the anti-theft chain.

Shade stepped back a little and saw Old Mister in a white wig, brown pajamas and round-frame reading glasses who opened the door.

He looked suspiciously up and down, looking towards Shade:

"Who are you?"

This looks like an unremarkable Tobes A citizen of Ke City may have been reading a book in the living room with hot tea just now.

"I'm here to sell pens."

Shade took the pen out of his pocket.

The old man behind the door bowed his head slightly, and looked at the pen from above his reading glasses:

"Why did you come? I've been waiting for several days, the day of the appointment , isn't it Wednesday?"

Shade sighed in relief:

"Sir, you also need to understand me. There are so many buyers who want this pen, I can't just take it easy. Let others know that the pen is in my hand."

"That's right, I thought you failed."

He didn't take the pen, and He turned around and went back to the house. Shade was standing in the doorway, not opening the half-open door.

It seems that the "grey-headed eagle" is indeed good at camouflage and hiding, and the connector does not know the real "grey-headed eagle".

"Negotiated a good price."

After a while, the old man at the door handed Shade a suitcase. When Shade handed the pen to the other party, the old man also pointed to the box:
"You did a good job this time. In addition to the negotiated price, there is also a letter from your hometown. Don't forget to read it."

"Old Mister, do you think I just started this line?"

Shade said in a tranquil voice, polite nodded is a goodbye, turned around according to the hat, and walked again into that long dark night.

The corner of Old Mister's mouth twitched at 1 Vic Street, watching Shade's silhouette disappeared at the intersection, and then closed the door:
"This guy is so cautious."

When he got home, Shade couldn't wait to open the box. Inside were stacks of metal pound banknotes, all of which were old banknotes without consecutive numbers, with no visible marks on the banknotes.

Shade puts the suitcase under the gas lamp on the desk and joins Mia the cat to admire the spectacle of a box of bills.

But the letter was not found in the box. Shade thought about it, and after breaking the box a little bit, he thought of using August's Priest's Visibility Potion to deal with the lining of the box. cloth.

Sure enough, a long list of numbers appeared on the fabric. After deciphering according to the codes corresponding to the three novels, the general meaning is that this time, the "grey-headed eagle" was mobilized for the sake of information. Therefore, for safety, all the original contact methods were invalidated. The "Grey Owl" has entered a long-term dormant state again, and when a mission is required, the next special letter will be sent.

"Don't contact me anymore, Grey Owl's final mission has been completed."

Shade whispered, burning the cloth full of passwords. After confirming that the cat sticking one's head around to look for was not interested in the brazier, he turned the paper money into a toy and stuffed it into the top lock drawer of the desk:

"The gray eagle is dead, trouble. Don't come to me for things! I have enough things in my hands."

He whispered to the table again, not knowing whether it was to himself or to the possible existence By the soul of Sparrow Hamilton.
