Miss Anne thought for a while: "In the past, the production cost of extraordinary items of this level was about 300 to 400 pounds. Your giant sword needs to be refined with additional metal, plus other suitable spiritual materials.
Let’s use the knowledge you told me to deduct it first, and the remaining money will depend on the size of the negative effects after the production is completed.”
Roman thought it was reasonable. After all, the price of an extraordinary item was greatly affected by the size of the negative influence.
Roman nodded, agreeing to the proposal, and then took out another silver-white tin box from his arms, handed it to Annie, and said, "Can you help me see which sequence this belongs to?"
What Roman took out were the extraordinary characteristics extracted from the black dog.
Anne took a deep look at Roman and said, "Do you know about the extraordinary characteristics? That's right. Yesterday, when the evil spirit said that the transaction content was the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Law Master', you didn't wonder what a 'Law Master' was.
There is no doubt about what ‘extraordinary characteristics’ are.”
Roman didn't answer, but asked: "What is the characteristic of the one you took away?"
Anne did not continue to ask further questions. She took the tin box handed over by Roman and said, "My one is a thief, and yours is a hunter." Anne said, and handed the box back to Roman: "It's a hunter."
Hunter... No wonder the black dog likes to carry various items with him, make traps, and is quite strong.
At that time, the mole turned out to be a thief. He had several valuable things on his body at the time, but he didn't even attack him.
"By the way, what happened to the fraud case you mentioned before?" Roman suddenly remembered something.
"The mole you are talking about once had a name called 'Steven', and he was involved in a fraud case. He and his accomplices defrauded more than a dozen gentlemen of more than three thousand pounds on a cruise ship in Desi Bay.
Cash, and then fled, it was only by coincidence that I discovered that he did not hide, but instead started arrogantly becoming a bounty hunter in Backlund." Annie said.
"Even if the deceived people are followers of the God of Steam and Machinery, they won't be chased by you from Disi Bay to Backlund, right?" Roman heard the blind spot, "Although 3,000 pounds is a lot of money,
The amount, but the fraud case should be handled by the police, right? Unless..."
"Yes, this case involves extraordinary people," Anne began to tell the details of the fraud case: "On a cruise ship in Desi Bay, there was a fraudster named Okafors.
He claimed that he had invented a banknote duplicating machine. As long as you put a banknote into it, an identical banknote would be copied in 6 hours."
Roman was shocked, "Such a clumsy scam?"
Anne also nodded: "Yes, it is such a clumsy scam. I don't know how Mr. Okafors persuaded those gentlemen with his eloquence. Several gentlemen did not believe it and took out 10 pound notes and put them in."
After entering the machine, six hours later, a brand new 10-pound note was copied from the machine. Among them, the person who took the lead in trying to put the note into the machine was also the one who took the lead in paying for the first machine.
It’s the dead Steven, the ‘Mole’.”
Just a "shill"... Roman thought to himself.
Anne continued: "When the gentlemen who bought the machine got off the boat and tried again, the machine could still spit out 10-pound notes in the first 6 hours, but in the second 6 hours, the machine spit out just white paper.
Some gentlemen still had the illusion that the machine was malfunctioning. When the paper came out after the third six hours, it was still blank, and then they realized they had been deceived and called the police."
"What about the extraordinary elements in this?" Roman asked with a hint of confusion.
"When the police got the machines, they found that they couldn't be opened by conventional means because the gentleman who called the police happened to be a believer in the God of Steam and Machinery, so they asked the local "Heart of Machinery" for help. And the members of the Heart of Machinery opened the machine.
Later, it was discovered that the structure inside was quite exquisite, and it was most likely made by an extraordinary person, an extraordinary person of the 'General Knowledge' path." Anne said.
Roman nodded and understood. He might even be related to the Beyonders of the Church of Steam. No wonder he was tracked all the way from Dixi County to Backlund.
"What happened next? Did you find anything?" Roman asked.
"No, this Steven is the only result I have traced all the way. He didn't make too many disguises. He was discovered by a Backlund deceiver and reported to the police." Anne sighed, "What a pity.
He is already dead. As for the main culprit, Okafors, he must have been disguised at the time and his name was also false. No information could be found at all."
With that said, Annie took out a portrait and unfolded it to Roman.
The portrait shows a middle-aged man with black hair and brown eyes. He has a full forehead, square-rimmed glasses, and a beautiful mustache. The corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, as if expressing goodwill or mocking.
Then Annie said: "This is a portrait drawn based on the descriptions of the deceived people. It may have been disguised. If you have relevant clues, you can report it to the Church of Steam."
Roman noted down the appearance of Okafors, looked at Anne, and asked: "If I need to find you in the future, what channel should I use?"
Anne replied: "There is a mechanical supplies store at No. 42 Leiria Street in Jowood District. I will usually be there. You can go there to pick up your epee in three days. If you look for me later and I am not here, you can
Put the letter in the mailbox at the door."
"Mechanical supply store?" Roman asked.
"Yes, my superficial identity is the most famous genius mechanical expert on Leiria Street, who is good at making and repairing various mechanical items."
"Appearance identity? What about actual identity?" Roman asked.
"A true mechanical expert." Annie said with a smile.
Really... It seems that she can become a craftsman at this age, and she must have figured out the acting method herself.
So, her true identity should be a member of the elite "Machine Heart"? Similar to the red gloves in "Nighthawks"? So she can track the fraudster across regions?
Roman, who had gained a little bit, nodded, said goodbye to Anne, and was going to the Backlund Bridge area to rent a house as a safe house for a short period of time. After all, whether it was the West End where his employer was located or his target Queens, he was a wealthy man.
In the area where the nobles live, I am too conspicuous and it is not very convenient to move around.
The bridge area is different, with mixed personnel and chaotic management. Later, teammates can use the safe house here if they need it.
But yesterday I heard that Mr. Wade's business is going very smoothly. Although the old aristocrats look down on these new rich people, they are under huge economic pressure and seem to be defeated soon by Mr. Wade's money offensive.
, the day when Mr. Wade will obtain the knighthood is not far away, and this commission is completed much faster than expected. This chapter has been completed!
