His gaze swept over, and Klein saw the person asking about the cow-toothed芍药.
The other person was less than one meter away from him, dressed in black formal attire, wearing a matching semi-high hat, holding a silver-handled cane in his hand, and wearing gold-rimmed spectacle frames on his face. His demeanor was quite refined.
"Yes, do you need it? This small jar is 3 Suleers." The vendor was wearing a very mysterious black robe.
The man with the gentle gaze thought for a moment and said:
"Can it be cheaper? I also need to buy other materials, such as this bottle of white-edged sunflower petals."
The vendor thought for a few seconds and replied reluctantly:
"2 Suleers and 6 pence. I think you can't find a cheaper price than this."
Seeing the man wearing thick-rimmed glasses, she not only bought the cow-tooth-shaped hyacinth but also the white-edged sunflower petals and other materials, Klein suddenly felt that he might have overthought things.
However, he still carefully tapped his brow twice and scanned the other person with his telepathic vision.
No problem, the body is very healthy, and the mood is good. Sir, you should keep it up... Klein withdrew his gaze, turned his body, and looked at the booth selling homemade amulets again.
In his pupils, the amulets were clearly presented, with pure silver ones, iron ones, and gold ones cast.
But among these amulets, only a few had faint aura colors, either crimson, pale white, or golden yellow.
This indicated that they had initially acquired a certain degree of spirituality, and these amulets had some effect!
During that moment, Klein looked very carefully and confirmed that the vendor of the homemade amulets had a certain mysticism background:
The different sources of power he selected for different incantations were not at all wrong, and the corresponding materials he determined for different sources of power were extremely correct.
Of course, mere enthusiasts of mysticism would definitely have some omissions. Klein noticed that the vendor didn't really understand the incantations themselves. It wasn't that by following the grammar of Hermes' language and translating the content of the prayer, it could be considered an incantation. An incantation must conform to a certain format and have unique rules.
Another problem was that when the vendor chose appropriate symbolic symbols for the incantations and "power sources", there were varying degrees of errors, so that only a few of the dozens of amulets were completely correct, emitting a "glow".
As for the extent of the effect of these two or three amulets, Klein could only say that there was always better than nothing.
The amulets that truly had obvious effects required the maker to let the spiritual essence burst forth from the tip of the knife during the process of engraving the incantation and symbolic symbols!
If better results were desired, it was necessary to assist with ritual magic.
And these two things were almost impossible for extraordinary people to do.
Klein tapped his brow in a thinking manner and pointed two times at the upper left corner of the stall with his black cane:
"How much are these two?"
He wasn't asking about the amulets that had faint aura colors initially, but about the semi-finished products, only the shape, without engraving the incantation and symbolic symbols yet.
For Klein, there was no need to purchase those amulets with weak effects. Making the semi-finished products into real amulets was his goal.
Well, make a protection amulet to avoid misfortune for Benson and Melissa... The materials provided by my own "Night Value Seekers" team... Sigh, have I been corrupted by Old Neil, having no sense of guilt for such things... Klein's thoughts wandered as he watched the vendor pick up the two semi-finished silver amulets.
One of the silver amulets was in a long shape, with a hollow in the middle and a cluster of angel-like feathers surrounding it, with exquisite craftsmanship and very beautiful appearance. The other was simple and plain, with almost no additional decorations or patterns, just a "vertical" symbol on the night symbol that was set with a symbol representing crimson.
As an amulet enthusiast, Klein could say that he saw them at a glance.
"This is 6 Suleers." The vendor was a taciturn middle-aged man. He pointed at the more exquisite one and said. After a pause, he stroked the simple piece:
"This is 5 shillings and 3 pence."
"It's too expensive. In fact, they are far from the amulets. " Klein was influenced by Benson and Melissa on a daily basis and began to be accustomed to bargaining.
After a round of verbal disputes, he bought the two silver ornaments at prices of 5 shillings and 6 pence and 4 shillings and 9 pence respectively.
Well, for now, it can only be considered as silver ornaments... Klein thought to himself.
And the 10 shillings and 3 pence was deducted from the club's funds he finally received (5 pounds).
Just as Klein was taking the two silver ornaments, putting them in his pocket, and planning to go to other stalls, suddenly he heard a soft and youthful voice:
"Sir, why don't you buy a ready-made amulet?"
Klein turned his head and found that the person asking was a teenage girl. She was wearing a light yellow dress with many lace patterns, and in her hand was a hat decorated with ribbons.
"I'm planning to make my own amulet. You know, this is the wish of every occult enthusiast." Klein replied politely.
He didn't want the stall owner to think that he was trying to steal business, although he had also considered whether he should make some extra money from this "craft" in the future.
The girl had natural curly brown hair and her baby fat was very cute. She looked at Klein with light blue eyes and sincerely asked:
"Can I ask you how to choose an amulet? Well, I was brought here by a friend. I've been here a few times and I'm very interested in occultism, but I don't know enough. Well, my friend will turn 16 in a while, and I want to choose an amulet to give to her because I hope it's a surprise. So I didn't ask her to come along... I consulted her in advance, but I can't recall many key points."
Klein smiled politely and said:
"Then what kind of amulet do you hope to choose? To avoid misfortune? To stay away from illness? To have good financial luck? Different requirements correspond to different sources of power, that is, different deities, and different deities correspond to different stars, and different stars correspond to different materials."
"For example, the incantation for avoiding misfortune definitely belongs to the Queen of Misfortune and Fear, that is, the Goddess of Night. As an occult enthusiast, we all know that the symbol of the Goddess of Night is the moon, and the metal corresponding to the moon is pure silver."
"So, if we want to avoid misfortune, it's best to choose a silver amulet with the corresponding incantation."
And the incantation language and format must be correct, the symbolic symbols of "Queen of Misfortune and Fear", the representative numbers, the spell identifiers, etc. must also be correct, and the positional relationship must also be correct... But this is too complicated. There's no need to explain it to you... Klein silently added in his heart.
The girl's eyes shone brightly and she asked in confusion:
"As a devotee of the goddess, can one wear amulets of other deities?"
"There's no problem. Deities don't care about such trivial matters." Klein comforted her.
His "no problem" referred to the wearer, while the maker must be careful. If the followers of the Storm Lord were to make the amulet of Eternal Sun, they would probably receive a lot of maliciousness.
Of course, this refers to the kind that requires ritual magic to assist in the production. Others don't need to worry about it.
The girl obviously let out a sigh of relief:
"I hope it's an amulet that blesses her health. Which deity should I choose? Eternal Sun, Mother Earth Goddess, or the God of Knowledge and Wisdom?"
"The Eternal Sun and Mother Earth Goddess are fine. The former corresponds to the sun, and the symbol of the latter is the brown star." Klein said with a smile, "The material for the sun is gold, and the metal for the brown star is lead. I suggest choosing the sun, but I don't know if you have brought enough money."
The reason he suggested this was because among the three amulets that had already shown signs of enlightenment, one was the health protection amulet of the sun domain.
"This isn't..." The young girl paused here, looking warily at the silent and waiting vendor.
She thought for a moment and then asked:
"Having determined the materials, how do we identify the incantations and symbolic symbols?"
"Do you know Hermes script?" Klein asked rhetorically.
"I've only been exposed to it for a while," the girl replied awkwardly.
"I'll help you choose," Klein said, pointing with his walking stick at the golden health charm, "Regardless of the incantations or symbolic symbols, it has no problems at all."
The girl lifted her skirt and crouched down, picking up the health charm with the sun patterns on the edge. She felt the touch was warm and her body seemed to relax.
"Thank you, thank you," she stood up again, bowing gratefully.
Klein laughed heartily and said:
"The next step is communication between you two. I have other matters to attend to."
While speaking, he glanced at the vendor and noticed that the other's eyes were very strange, as if hesitating whether to give him a tip.
He chuckled to himself and didn't bother with this matter anymore. He leisurely and unhurriedly walked around the entire underground trading market, but didn't find any truly extraordinary materials.
At this time, Old Neil had already paid the bill and was holding a dark wooden box in his hand.
Seeing Klein's puzzled look, he pointed to the other room at the end and said:
"If you want to buy or sell extraordinary materials, go there. After all, no one wants to let others know what extraordinary items they have bought."
"I understand," Klein nodded as if in thought.
He didn't have the immediate need to go there, so he walked with Old Neil towards the outside of the underground trading market.
"How much did these elves cost?"
Suddenly, a questioning voice reached Klein's ears.
Elf flowers... This is also the formula material for the "Audience" potion... Klein's heart stirred, he turned sideways and saw again the elegant gentleman with gold-rimmed eyes.
"What's the matter?" Old Neil asked with a slight confusion.
"There's nothing," Klein withdrew his gaze.
Although he was a provisional member of the Night Watch team, he didn't think all extraordinary individuals must be recruited and imprisoned. He believed this should be determined on a case-by-case basis. Among them, "Audience" was definitely a type that posed no harm to society, the kingdom, or the world, and the possibility of sequence 9 going out of control was also very low. ...
After leaving the Dragon Beast Bar, Klein and Old Neil took a public carriage and left the dock area. Then they parted ways and returned to their respective homes in the northern district.
The public carriage drove into Narcissus Street and stopped by the roadside. Klein was about to get off when he suddenly saw a young lady in a grayish-white dress getting ready to get on.
This lady had smooth black hair, a round face, and long slender eyes. Her features individually weren't outstanding, but when combined together, they had a gentle and sweet appearance.
Klein noticed her not because of her beauty, but because he noticed her body was trembling slightly, an abnormal tremor.
"Miss, you don't seem to be feeling well?" Klein asked with a good-hearted attitude.
The young lady shook her head sharply:
"No, I... I'm just too tired."
At this time, the people getting off the carriage began to urge, and Klein had to leave first.
When he stood firm, he began to pay attention to the matter again, so he pinched the center of his eyebrows with his fingers, intending to confirm that the young lady was really fine.
If the other person really had a serious and about-to-occur illness, he would help her go to the hospital.
"Divination" was activated, and the aura color appeared. Klein turned his body and prepared to look at the gentle and sweet young lady.
