The next day, at 7:55 pm, Gray Lint appeared on the third floor corridor of the "Arm Bone Bar". Today he had an aboriginal face and was 10 centimeters shorter at the same time.
"What do you do? This is a private place."
An Aboriginal waiter with well-proportioned features and rough skin stopped him.
"Oh, I'm here to buy 'Highland Wine', um, the kind that costs 4 soles and 3 pence a bottle." According to the information on the wooden sign that Alister saw yesterday, Glerint reported this number.
The waiter looked at him carefully, then nodded and said:
"follow me."
After entering the room, Graylingt saw that it was a small hall with a total of 7 different entrances and exits, and the surrounding area were dressing rooms. From some of the doors that were opened, Graylingt could
I saw that there were black robes, cloaks, wooden masks and other covering items prepared inside.
Generally speaking, some of these things will be prepared by the convener of the extraordinary gathering, while others need to be prepared by yourself.
Although Gray Linte still has a fake face today, he has long been prepared to "follow certain party members", so of course it is not easy to show his face to the party again, so he still wears a black robe honestly
, put on a wooden clown mask.
After disguising himself, he once again walked in through the innermost entrance under the guidance of the waiter.
…
This was a not-too-big room, and when Glerint entered, there were already 8 people in it, making it a little crowded.
"What's your code name?"
The convener of the party sounded like a young woman, but Glalint couldn't tell whether "she" was disguised. He deliberately lowered his voice and spoke out his usual title in a low and hoarse tone:
"assassin."
"New member? Welcome, my code name is 'mentor'."
She seemed a little unexpected, but she was not particularly surprised. She nodded casually and said:
"Then let me introduce to you our party process first!"
"The main purpose of our gathering is to share occult knowledge. Generally speaking, we will convene once every one to two months from time to time."
"You can exchange knowledge here, ask questions, or answer other people's questions. As for the remuneration, it is decided by both parties themselves, and I will not interfere. Of course, if you have some knowledge that needs to be authenticated, I can provide such services.
"
"As for the 'item trading' that most extraordinary gatherings have, we also have it, but that is not the main purpose of the gathering."
"Based on such a gathering core, our gathering process is: each member first puts forward their own knowledge needs or doubts. Then I collect them, copy them, and then publish them. If someone is willing to provide free explanations, usually we
It will be open to the public and everyone can listen together. And if a member is willing to provide paid explanations, I will arrange for you to trade in the back room. Finally, there will be some active knowledge sharing."
After she pointed to her back, Gray Linte noticed that there was another room inside.
Such a pure "knowledge exchange meeting" sounds pretty good. It has a bit of the style of the "Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom". However, in terms of national strength, Lundborg, Ma Xi and others who believe in the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom"
The country is relatively weak and does not have the strength to colonize the southern continent. Therefore, except for a few immigrants, there is almost no belief in the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" here.
After a brief explanation, the time came to 8 o'clock sharp. Seeing that no more members would come in, the "mentor" lady promptly announced the start of the party.
Gray Linte rubbed his own page and wrote down the knowledge he hoped to gain:
How to get a "spiritual messenger"?
Although telegraph machines are fast, they are large in size and difficult to carry, and translation is also troublesome. In addition, due to the influence of the "Raging Sea", telegraph messages are difficult to communicate across the northern and southern continents. Most importantly, he
The confidentiality is not very high. As long as you know the corresponding communication frequency band, others can easily intercept your information.
Graylint vaguely remembered that there was an answer to this question in the original work, but he knew exactly that he could not remember the specific details at all.
After a while, all nine members submitted their pages.
However, Grayling noticed that the pages submitted by some members were actually blank. In other words, they did not have any knowledge needs for the time being, or they had already raised them long ago, and then chose to give up after submitting multiple submissions with no results.
.
After hearing the "mentor" lady announce the knowledge needs of each member one by one, Gray Linte found that he could really provide one of the answers!
That is, there is a Mr. "Hunter" who is inquiring about the sequence name, sequence characteristics and potion formula of Sequence 5 of the "Hunter" pathway, and he is willing to pay a certain amount of reward for this knowledge.
Gray Lint glanced at the man with the wooden sign titled "Hunter" and said:
"I can provide its name and some sequence characteristics, but I don't have a specific recipe."
"If you need the same, I can tell you."
"I don't know if you want to tell you directly like this, or to communicate in the back room?"
Mr. Hunter thought for a moment and thought that just the sequence characteristics and names were not particularly important knowledge, so he answered generously:
“Let’s communicate like this!”
"What do you hope to be compensated for?"
"No need, this is not particularly valuable knowledge."
Considering that he had just arrived, it would not be easy for him to integrate into this party without a certain amount of active participation, so Gray Lint generously gave this knowledge directly:
“Sequence 5 of the ‘Hunter’ pathway is called ‘Reaper’.”
"This is a very violent sequence. They can discover the target's weaknesses from a mystical perspective, and add corresponding precision when attacking, causing extremely high damage."
"It is suspected that they also have the ability to turn normal attacks into 'fatal blows'. No matter where they hit, it is equivalent to a weak point attack."
For the last one, it's not that Gray Linte deliberately pretended to be unsure, but that he really didn't remember it very clearly and could only describe it vaguely.
"Reaper..."
Mr. "Hunter" repeated the name and said sincerely:
"Thank you for your generosity."
…
After dealing with the knowledge needs of two more members, it was finally the turn of the Graylingt question.
"Get the 'Spiritual Messenger'?"
After hearing Ms. "Mentor"'s retelling, Mr. "Skeleton" opened his mouth to confirm in confusion, as if he didn't expect that someone would actually need such an unpopular thing.
"This is not important knowledge."
"There are two ways to do it: One is to try to enter the spirit world directly, find certain creatures and communicate with them. After success, you can sign a contract. This is not easy to do, because it is difficult to find the right person directly.
Creatures, and there is a risk of getting lost in the spirit world. The second method is to think of an accurate narrative in advance and summon the corresponding spiritual world creatures through rituals. The difficulty with this method is that the ones that match your narrative may be some powerful but
A very evil spiritual creature.”
"So the safest way is to use proven safety spells to summon."
Because they are essentially directly related to the spirit world, Extraordinaries who are not "corpse collectors", "apprentices", etc. have almost no access to things like messengers.
