Chapter 239 - Chariot Commission

Fortunately, the Clown's ability helped Klein maintain his image. He gently tapped the edge of the long table in the thick fog, a thought flashing through his mind.

The Chariot has the Magician's formula, or he has a Magician friend. This is the most reasonable conjecture.

At this moment, he heard Lex say again, "I have the misty treant's true roots and its corresponding liquid."

Klein controlled Mr. World and said in a low voice, "What do you wish for me to exchange for it?"

I hope it's something I can afford, please don't let it be pounds. Klein muttered in his heart.

Lex thought for a moment, then said, "I hope to get clues about the Conspirer. If you have the formula, I will compensate you accordingly after deducting the materials cost."

As expected, he's looking for a potion formula. It seems Mr. Chariot hasn't found what he wants offline, but I don't have it either.

Klein could only control Mr. World to respond, "I will try to gather clues, but I might not be able to get them. Besides the potion formula, do you not need anything else?"

Lex shook his head, "Not for now."

"In that case, if I find clues for the potion, I'll ask Mr. Fool to notify you, and then we'll complete the transaction?"

"That works."

Originally, Lex planned to give him the materials first. After all, Mr. World is Klein, and helping Mr. Fool advance quickly would also benefit the Tarot Club.

However, considering that Mr. World was attending the Tarot Club for the first time, if he rashly gave him the materials, it might arouse suspicion from the other members.

Even if they didn't suspect anything, they would consider him a Fool.

No one wants to be a Fool.

At this point, Mr. Sun, who had been silent, spoke, "I need a weapon that suits me and can enhance my combat ability."

Hearing such a request, Klein immediately thought of the Runic Steel Sword that had appeared at the Eye of Wisdom's Beyonder gathering.

Unfortunately, it had already been bought.

Lex, however, hesitated slightly before saying, "I do have some things I'd like to sell, but I'm afraid they might not be very suitable for you."

"Yes, I'm selling two magical items."

Lex's gaze swept over everyone before he said, "One is the Shadow Gauntlets. It looks like a fingerless black glove. It can increase the wearer's strength and striking power. When attacking, there's a 10% chance to summon a Shadow Fist."

"The Shadow Fist can deliver a powerful attack to the opponent, simultaneously creating both physical and mental impact. If in a dark or shadowy environment, the summon chance increases to 50%, and the Shadow Fist will evolve into Shadow Combo. The darkness or shadows around you will boil, delivering high-density, high-frequency strikes to the opponent."

"As for its negative effects, if worn for more than two consecutive days, the user will become indifferent. If worn for more than ten consecutive days, the user will lose their conscience irreversibly. Additionally, when wearing this item, animals will dislike you, especially those with stronger spiritual perception, such as cats, dogs, and horses; their reactions will be even more intense."

Hearing that the power of these Shadow Gauntlets would undergo a qualitative change in a dark or shadowy environment, Mr. Sun couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

Because in his environment, there is no shortage of darkness or shadows, but in the place where Silver City is located, it would be dangerous to stay in darkness or shadows.

Moreover.

"Gauntlets aren't very suitable for me."

Mr. Sun shook his head and continued to listen to Lex describe the other item.

"The other item is the thief finger. It's an item left behind by an out-of-control Beyonder, capable of stealing valuable items from a target within 10 feet. If there are multiple targets within this range, it steals randomly."

"Additionally, it will make you addicted to Theft, making it difficult to stop. It will also continuously steal your life until death arrives. Furthermore, it carries a certain degree of mental pollution; frequent use may lead to loss of control. Hmm, these are its negative effects."

Currently, Lex already has many magical items. He hardly uses the Shadow Gauntlets anymore and doesn't need them to scare or threaten Grego.

As for the thief finger, although this item is quite useful, its negative effects are too severe. Lex, having used it a few times, is not prepared to use it again.

After listening to Lex's description, Mr. Sun apologized, "These two items you mentioned are not very suitable for me."

Lex nodded and said indifferently, "It's alright."

He looked at the others.

In the thick fog, Klein scrutinized Lex.

Mr. Chariot is quite wealthy, with so many magical items that he's selling them off.

Unlike me, Fool...

On the other side, Miss Justice was also lost in thought.

The Shadow Gauntlets sound really cool, and they won't attract attention. I happen to be missing a 'weapon.' As a lady, I can't carry a longsword or a pistol. Mr. Chariot's weapon seems quite good.

However, it makes animals with high spiritual perception dislike it. If I wear it, Susie definitely won't want to come near me.

Wait.

I can buy it and give it to 'Xio'! She is an Arbitrator, and so far, she and Miss Fors have helped me a lot. She often acts at night, and she doesn't keep animals.

Hmm, this item is very suitable for her. If she doesn't want to accept my gift, then it can be the reward for this commission!

Miss Justice lightly coughed, "Mr. Chariot, I'm interested in the Shadow Gauntlets. What price are you planning to sell them for?"

I bought the Shadow Gauntlets for 650 pounds, plus the Artisan of Mysteries's enhancement later, selling them for 800 to 1000 pounds wouldn't be excessive. But if it's Miss Justice...

Lex smiled, "800 pounds, how does that sound?"

Audrey said without any burden, "That works. Please give me your bank account later, and I'll transfer the money to your account."

"Then after the meeting, I will sacrifice it to Mr. Fool, and I believe you will receive this item very soon."

After Audrey bought the Shadow Gauntlets, just as Lex expected, the other people were not interested in the thief finger. After all, the negative effects of that item were too severe, far exceeding its use value.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Lex leaned forward slightly, looked around, and said, "Everyone, I have another commission here."

"I'm looking for someone. I received news that he might currently be on Sonia Island."

Lex turned to look at Klein, who was enveloped in thick fog, and said in a respectful tone, "Mr. Fool, may I present his appearance?"

"You may, just like manifesting a diary."

Klein waved his hand leisurely, and a piece of parchment appeared before Lex's eyes.

Lex recalled Morse Abraham's appearance, giving a strong intention to express it, and a portrait quickly appeared on the parchment. It was a man in his thirties. He had a slicked-back hairstyle, a small mustache, lively eyes, and a slight upward curve at the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident smile.

He had a mole next to his right eye, which made him very recognizable. In addition, his nose bridge was quite high.

After being manifested, the parchment suddenly disappeared and then appeared in everyone's hands.

It was duplicated multiple times, and everyone, including Mr. Sun, received a copy.
