The captain and crew of the Green Emerald nervously watched the warehouse door open, then saw Lex and the Medic walk out.
"No need to be nervous."
Lex said loudly, "This is Mr. Polly. It turns out Mr. Polly, like me, accidentally discovered that someone intended to harm the Green Emerald. He is a Medic, and he used his specialty to approach the villain, hoping to extract his detailed plan from him."
"I received some help before, and after talking with Mr. Polly just now, I realized that all that help was secretly provided by Mr. Polly."
"Although this gentleman didn't directly stop them, he gave me detailed information about my opponent, which allowed me to successfully hunt down that villain. Therefore, everyone doesn't need to worry."
"I retract my previous statement, Mr. Polly is not an accomplice of the other party."
Hearing Lex's words, the captain and crew finally relaxed. The captain couldn't help but ask, "Does the other party have any accomplices on board?"
The Medic, with his indifferent expression, shook his head: "No, they have all been hunted down by Mr. Rayleigh. The Green Emerald will not be in any danger anymore."
"Lord of Storms above."
The captain, a believer in the Lord of Storms, completely breathed a sigh of relief.
After asking the captain to arrange a room for the Medic, Lex returned to the room where Charles's body was still lying. The two crew members left by the Second Mate dutifully guarded the room until they saw Lex return, then they left and went back to their posts.
Opening the room, Lex saw that the Faceless Man's beyonder characteristics had completely precipitated. He quickly found a box to put them in.
A Sequence 6 beyonder characteristics could at least sell for three or four thousand pounds, which would somewhat offset Lex's expenses.
Just now, Lex had promised to give Richard an additional 700 pounds, plus another 500 pounds to the Medic. Once that Sequence 5 main Material was sold, he would give him another thousand pounds to help him advance as quickly as possible.
Calculating it this way, Richard's commission cost 1200 pounds, plus 700 pounds, which amounted to 1900 pounds. Basically, all the bounty Lex earned on Skye Island was spent on this.
Adding another 500 pounds to the Medic tomorrow, the two bounties combined would leave only 2510 pounds.
"Money really goes fast. Fortunately, I earned three potion formulas, one mystical item, and one Sequence 5 main Material."
"All in all, it's not a loss, hehe."
Since the beyonder characteristics were already in hand, Lex naturally didn't want to guard two corpses. He went out to find someone to inform the captain, asking the captain to arrange for people to dispose of them.
He returned to his original room, feeling a wave of exhaustion. He didn't even feel like showering and just lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, Lex woke up feeling spiritually full. And through yesterday's battle, the digestion progress of the potion had advanced another small step. However, he had drunk two bottles of Pyromaniac potion, and it would still take some time for the residual potion to be completely digested.
After washing up, Lex set up a simple altar and summoned the 'spirit world treasure chest'. Watching the treasure chest, painted like a clown and a puppy, jump onto the table, Lex thought that he might need to find an Artisan to create an item for summoning the treasure chest, so he wouldn wouldn't have to set up an altar every time, and he could also call out the treasure chest to exchange for mystical items in an emergency.
"Give me Devil May Cry."
Because he was about to meet Iceberg Admiral, Lex threw the 'staff of resentment' back into the treasure chest. He didn't want that Admiral to think he was the same kind of person as Blood Admiral.
Afterward, Lex took out the bounty he had received from White Shark in Damir Port, took out a portion of the pounds, and then sent the spirit world treasure chest back.
He first counted out 1300 pounds, preparing to return it to Richard later. He then counted out 500 pounds to give to the Medic. He took 200 pounds plus some change for himself, leaving only 2300 pounds in the spirit world treasure chest.
"I wonder when the captain will give me the money."
Lex muttered, placing the money in different pockets. Then, he raised both hands horizontally, one after another, to summon the 'mystical book'.
After the incantation, the color of the room became richer, the sound of the waves outside the window disappeared, and the pocket watch on the table stopped ticking. Lex saw the thick, illusory tome appear in his hands.
It flipped its pages on its own, arriving at the 'Artisan of Mysteries' page. The first thing that caught Lex's eye was the number of dimensional crystal, which was already 919.
Record.
'The fox that doesn't eat pears threw the big, fresh pear in its hand to you and casually rewarded 10000 dimensional coin, which has been automatically converted into 100 dimensional crystal.'
'Jimmy Trouble told you to be brave and not to be afraid of difficulties, and rewarded you 500 dimensional coin.'
'Dongdong's Datang stretched, and rewarded you 200 dimensional coin.'
The record also included rewards from Observers like 'Big Cat's Eye', 'White Red Green Black', 'Moon Under the Tower in a Dream', 'Feather of the Horizon', and 'Proud Awakening Blue Star 1000'.
Lex silently thanked the Observers in his heart, then took out the black gemstone ring he had obtained from Charles and spent 15 dimensional crystal to appraise it.
In a dream-like trance, he saw a series of images flash by. In those images, Lex saw a man with a gentle smile always on his face. This person seemed to be a Night Watchers of the Black Night Church.
He always wore a black formal suit and a semi-tall silk top hat. He always appeared in the dark, chasing monsters, secretly guarding the city, and protecting innocent people.
He chanted like a Poet, making his opponents' eyes unfocused; he directly pulled his opponents into a dream, creating opportunities for his teammates; he haunted cemeteries, letting the restless spirits rest forever.
But in the last image, he lay in a cold coffin, hands clasped, as if asleep.
The images ended, and Lex felt a surge of emotion. He had seen a microcosm of a Night Watchers' life. He saw this gentleman fight bravely and ultimately sacrifice himself, which was almost a portrayal of every Night Watchers.
Looking back at the page, lines of text appeared.
'Midnight Dream: This is a mystical item made from the beyonder characteristics of a 'Soul Soother'. When it appears in the target's line of sight, it can use 'Forced Slumber' to make the target immediately enter a dream. It has the ability of 'Dream Entry', allowing the wearer to freely enter the dreams of any sleeping person, but the target for dream entry must be within a 1-kilometer radius of the wearer to be effective.'
'In addition, wearing this ring allows for 'Spirit Channeling' and 'Dream Divination', and strengthens 'Spiritual Vision'.'
'It should be noted that 'Forced Slumber' can only be used once a day on the same target, and can only be used again after 24 hours.'
'As for the negative effects, if used more than three times a week, with intervals of no more than one day, the user will experience a sense of trance, finding it difficult to distinguish between reality and dreams, thereby causing certain oversights.'
'Once a trance occurs, sufficient rest can relieve this condition. However, if used long-term, even with sufficient rest afterward, the sense of trance will still accumulate, eventually becoming a permanent state.'
