That is, among humans, parasitic objects usually have three choices:
This pathway, adjacent pathways, and irrelevant pathways.
According to Gray Lint's memory, it seems that the "parasite" can directly absorb the power of the first two parasitic objects. This means that in addition to changing paths, nesting dolls and using magical items, the "parasite"
You can also parasitize the Extraordinaries of adjacent pathways and then absorb their extraordinary characteristics, thereby achieving the purpose of using the extraordinary abilities of adjacent pathways.
Normally, in addition to switching paths for promotion at the right time, even taking in the lower-sequence extraordinary characteristics of adjacent paths will also lead to loss of control.
But "Parasite" seems to be an exception.
"Maybe it's because they are 'wrong'."
————————————————————————
Dusk enveloped the earth, the crimson color also disappeared into the thick clouds, and there was no light everywhere.
At the mouth of the Hoi River, a few figures carrying lanterns gradually gathered here.
Graylint is one of them:
"I don't know why I have to set the time at night. It's very troublesome when there is no moonlight. It will be even more annoying if it rains again."
He complained in a low voice, but heard Carol next to him also lowering his voice and explaining seriously:
"'Thieves' all have 'dark vision' and will not be affected by this environment."
Then, she turned to smile and said:
"Besides, don't you know that night is better for stealing?"
...Okay! What you said makes sense!
Gray Lint did not discuss this issue further. This sneaky state made him feel like a thief.
…………
However, when he actually arrived at the mouth of the river, he discovered that the party was not as shabby as he imagined.
I don't know whether it was through illusion or some extraordinary ability, but a very large auditorium temporarily appeared here. It was made of all stone, and every part exuded a hazy light, completely illuminating the inside.
Since Gray Linte and Carol both used fake faces, they didn't make any extra disguises and simply wore a hooded black cloak.
After removing the lantern and verifying the badges, the two entered the corridor one after another.
——No one is allowed to enter without a badge, so Gray Lint has already gone to the bathroom in advance and threw all the "Chain of Artifacts" and Marionette Morgan into the strange space. This of course made Carol very interested.
, but the experience of yesterday afternoon was still vivid in her mind, so she didn’t ask any questions rashly.
Although it was done in the bathroom, Gray Lint at least showed himself that he had such a magical method, which was trust in her.
Walking inside, Carol's voice rang in the heart of Gray Linte at the right time:
"The front hall is where items are traded, and a small number of long-term commissions are released. According to the sequence level, the front hall is divided into two areas: low-sequence and medium-sequence.
In the back hall, the 'thief' must verify the identity of the extraordinary person before he can enter. After entering, there are many rooms, which are used to impart corresponding knowledge to the 'thief' of different levels."
Impart knowledge……
Although Gray Lint can roughly guess that they mainly teach things like "codes" to the mid- to low-sequence Extraordinaries. But to the Extraordinaries of Sequence 5 and above, they also need to teach many people who have been taught by Ah.
Tampered common sense, as well as methods to prevent parasitism, detect traces of parasitism and even fight against parasitism.
But this statement, combined with the sense of erudition given by their "decryption scholars", still made him suddenly feel a bit weird:
It's as if this is a serious first-class university, not a sneaky secret organization.
After she said this, Gray Linte became very clear about his target - the sequence area in the outer hall.
As for why there is no "high sequence region".
The reason is very simple. After all, there are very few transactions in high-sequence level things. With so many Beyonders participating in the party, they can only save 2-3 orders in half a year. There is no need to divide it into another area.
"Do you need to go inside to 'study'?"
Gray Lint came closer, pouted angrily toward the back hall, and then asked in a low voice. As expected, Carol shook her head very clearly, and added in his mind:
"I have learned a lot of these things since I was a child."
This is the difference between one-to-one teaching and auditing learning!
He nodded and sighed secretly:
The extraordinary world pays more attention to the backstage than the ordinary world. Some people are born in the mid-level, some are born as kings of angels, and some people are born with the essence of life.
No matter how heavy the fate he carries is, it is what more extraordinary people desire but cannot obtain.
Without his initiative, Carol led him directly to the left side of the front hall. There were about thirty extraordinary people coming and going here. A few of them showed their faces, but it was not clear whether they were real faces or not.
Most of the false faces were covered with cloaks like Gray Lint and Carol, and some wore masks made of various materials.
Gray Linte still had a fake face under his cloak, and he didn't feel panic at all.
"Are these most of the mid-sequence 'thieves' in the world? No, there should be many more who are attending classes there, and some who haven't come."
As for the wild "thief" Beyonders, they are very rare and extremely difficult to reach Sequence 5 or higher, so it is almost unnecessary to consider them.
However, he also knew that among the thirty or so people, there should be quite a few extraordinary people like himself who were from other paths.
This huge luminous stone auditorium should have been realized through illusion or something like that. As a result, there are no tables and chairs inside, or in other words, even if they are realized, they cannot be used normally.
So all the party members here are setting up street stalls, which has lowered the quality a lot.
Further ahead is a wooden board written in ancient Fusac language, which contains information about some magical items and materials for sale, as well as corresponding purchase items.
The Ancient Fusac language is claimed to be the origin of writing in the countries of the Northern Continent. As far as Gray Lint knows, most of the gatherings of extraordinary people from different countries use the Ancient Fusac language, and a few use it based on the location of the gathering.
To choose the main language to use. No matter which language is used, it is actually not a big problem. But for experienced extraordinary people, mastering multiple languages is a basic skill, especially the Hermes language used for sacrifices, and the relative
The ancient Hermetic language of simply leveraging the forces of nature.
While browsing the information on the board one by one, Gray Lint discovered that most of the board contained information on the sale of materials from other sources, with only a small amount of information on the sale of magical items and sealed items.
As for the purchase information, he didn't read it at all.
While he was browsing the information, Carol's voice rang in his heart:
"You can trade in this area. I have something to do and have to go to the back hall. You don't have to wait for me after that, you can go back to William Hotel directly."
Although she has no trading needs, she obviously doesn't come here just to accompany Gray Linte.
Gray Linte raised his head and glanced at her. He didn't say anything, but nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
Later.
After comparing the brief descriptions of the items several times, he settled on two of them.
Gray Lint is now very close to Sequence 6, which means that he will accompany Carol to explore the "Relics of the Descendants of Tudor" in the future, and there is a high possibility of getting a piece corresponding to the "Iron-Blooded Knight"
It is a magical item, so his main goal this time is to buy a mid-sequence sealed item from the "Stealer" pathway, and then crush it into extraordinary properties for Jim to use.
He came to the first place first.
The brief description of the first item is a black silk scarf, corresponding to the "Fire Thief". Its seller is a woman, who, like Gray Linte, hides her whole body in a robe.
According to the information on the board, Gray Lint found her:
"Hello, I would like to know more about the 'fetish scarf'."
The figure in the robe seemed to raise his head, nodded in confirmation, and began to state:
"This is an excellent magical item."
Ignoring those strange things that do not contain extraordinary characteristics, the difference between magical items and sealed objects is that magical items have less negative effects and can be used normally, while sealed objects are often harmful to a certain extent and are not so easy to use.
If it is classified as a magical item, its price will generally be higher.
Gray Lint didn't say anything and listened to her continued introduction:
"It corresponds to the 'Fire Stealer', which can improve the holder's flexibility and can be used to steal the extraordinary ability of an enemy within 50 meters. This is related to your understanding of the enemy and the enemy's sequence level. Sequence 6 and
The following are sure to be successful in stealing, but they are not necessarily the extraordinary ability you want to steal. The ones above may fail to steal.
If you steal a successful extraordinary ability, you can use it skillfully within 10 minutes, but it will take the enemy at least 10 hours to return to normal.
Its negative effect is that when the stolen extraordinary ability fails, you will also lose a certain extraordinary ability, and it will also take more than 10 hours to return to normal.
My insured value is 6,500 Rune gold pounds, or other items of equivalent value."
"This is a standard Sequence 6 magical item, and the negative effects are relatively small. The only problem is that the price is a bit high, and my purpose is to crush it to obtain extraordinary properties. From this point of view, I want to buy the one with a lower price.
A very dangerous 'sealed object' is actually more cost-effective."
After hearing the quotation from this female extraordinary, Gray Linte quickly weighed it in his mind, and then he was not too willing to buy this thing.
His purpose is to buy a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of sequence 6 for 6,500 pounds. It is too luxurious no matter how you look at it. The normal trading price of extraordinary characteristics of this level is 3,000-4,000 pounds. Even if there is a slight premium, it is not close.
Doubling it is such an exaggeration.
However, what they are selling is not originally an extraordinary property, but a high-quality magical item.
Therefore, although this quote is not cheap, it is actually quite reasonable.
"I need to think about it."
Instead of refusing directly, Gray Lint left himself room for negotiation, and then turned around and went to the location of another item.
The second magical item is an eagle talon. Its composition seems to be relatively complex. The seller is an old man who directly shows his face. Judging from his almost white hair, he may be sixty years old.
"Hello, I want to know about the 'Angry Thief'."
The old man glanced at him with cloudy eyes, then nodded and said:
"I only want cash, 12,000 Rune gold pounds."
12,000 pounds!
Gray Linte breathed a secret breath and did not interrupt. He had seen the note before, saying that he only accepted large-amount cash transactions, so he went to the "Fantasy Scarf" first. Unexpectedly, he still underestimated the "Angry Thief"
"Master's offer.
Seeing that the price did not scare away Gray Lint, the old man looked at him deeply and became slightly interested in telling the story.
"This thing is a sealed object, and the negative effects are very serious."
He first characterized it and frankly stated the basic condition of the item.
When he said this, Gray Lint became even more interested. Why is a sealed item with such serious negative effects so expensive?
The old man probably had the habit of smoking. He smashed it in his mouth first, and then said:
"The 'Raging Thief' has the extraordinary characteristics of both the 'Dream Stealer' and the 'Ocean Singer'. I won't tell its story, but let's talk about its effects.
First of all, it has the characteristic of being alive.
First, it will randomly steal certain items from near to far, giving priority to items that are closer, but it is not impossible to steal items that are further away. It cannot save the stolen items, so it will usually throw them away at will.
This is the easiest effect to deal with.
Second, it often takes away certain ideas from nearby creatures to improve itself. According to the judgment of a certain saint, the more ideas it takes, the more cunning it should be."
Having said this, the old man grinned and continued to narrate rather horrifyingly:
"Of course, it's very polite, and every time it takes away an idea, it gives you another idea that makes you sing.
Well, the last thing is that its temper is not particularly good, and it may drop lightning strikes to attack the holder at any time. Of course, this frequency is not high, only once or twice a day."
This...are you here to sell extraordinary characteristics?
Sold to extraordinary people with angels behind them.
There is no possibility of using this thing at all, right? Every one of them has very serious negative effects.
Two copies of Sequence 5 extraordinary properties are worth about 18,000 pounds. However, these items are still sealed objects and require an angel to restore them to extraordinary properties. It is quite normal to sell them for 12,000 pounds.
I have to say that Gray Linte was very tempted.
"Ocean Singer" can also entrust craftsmen to make magical items. He just plans to go to the ruins of the Poseidon War in Sonia later, which are all sea areas. It will be very convenient to have such a magical item.
And the corresponding "Lightning Strike" is also quite consistent with his attack aesthetic.
The only problem is that this may reveal that there is an angel behind you. Of course, precisely for this reason, there is no danger. Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to spy on an earthly angel.
After condensing for a while, he did not try to counteroffer, but said directly:
"Okay, I want 12,000 pounds."
"Well, how should we trade?"
He did bring enough cash, but the "Angry Thief" wasn't a Sealed Artifact that he could carry with him just from the description.
Unexpectedly, the old man turned around and took out a glass jar filled with sand:
"It's inside. You can open it and verify it. Well, I asked a certain saint to help with some processing. Before noon tomorrow, its abnormalities will only be limited to this glass jar."
There was no need to open it, and with detailed descriptions and specific objects, Gray Lint quickly used the "Secret Chain" to complete a divination and confirmed that the things inside completely matched the other party's description.
So, he glanced around subconsciously, then took 12 bundles of banknotes from his backpack into another black bag, handed it to the old man, and took the glass jar at the same time.
Then, he watched quietly as the old man began to count the banknotes.
