Ancient God Library

Chapter 167 Underground Tavern
Spirit monkeys are not easy to find.

Every fourth-order alien beast is very rare, and if you want to hunt and kill a fourth-order alien beast, you need to pay a huge price.

The strength of a fourth-order alien beast is comparable to that of a fourth-order awakened person.

Hunting a fourth-order alien beast is equivalent to hunting a fourth-order awakened person.

Its difficulty can be imagined.

Originally, Romon sensed that the backhand on Yarimi's side had been triggered, and was going to check the situation, but now that he had news of the spirit sucking monkey, he was not in a hurry to go there, and he had already made arrangements there. , no problem.

After being promoted to Tier [-].

After searching and understanding in many ways, Romon finally knew some benefits of those who are awakened by meditation.

Meditation is spiritual, breathing is physical.

Romon can now leave his spiritual meditation power in other people's spiritual world, and this power will be detonated by other spiritual powers.

It is equivalent to leaving an anti-theft lock in other people's minds.

Now that the anti-theft lock was broken, the person who was locked would not be able to live, not to mention that Yarimi still had the poison on his body.

Romon didn't care about the situation over there, and rushed back to the academy directly. The witch Dorothy had been waiting in front of the Amethyst Library for a long time, "The clue of the spirit sucking monkey is in the parish of the Church of Steam, and there seems to be a collector's home there. I have collected a skeleton specimen of a spirit monkey!"

Romon didn't consider actively hunting living creatures at first.

It's simply not realistic to find a live spirit monkey and hunt them down.

Even if two fourth-order awakened people act together to hunt and kill a spirit sucking monkey in the old world, there is a great possibility of failure.

Spirit sucking monkey specimens are more reliable.

After all, he was mixing the dream dragon potion, not the awakening ability of the spirit sucking monkey, and he didn't need to kill the spirit sucking monkey by himself, and use the ability to catch gems.

"What conditions did the other party propose?" Romon asked.

Dorothy pointed out a finger: "This price."

"A thousand pounds? That's too low, isn't he willing to sell it?"

"How is a thousand pounds possible? It's ten thousand pounds! That guy is not short of money, so the lion opened his mouth. When he bought this imitator monkey specimen, he spent a full five thousand pounds, and he offered a price of ten thousand Pounds, even if we talk about the price, it can be about a thousand pounds cheaper at most."

Dorothy sighed and said, "This price is too much of a premium. Generally, fourth-level spiritual materials only cost about three thousand pounds."

indeed.

With so much premium, if you still want to buy it, it will be a pure injustice.

After thinking about it for a while, Romon decided to meet with him first. This was the only time he got the information, and he couldn't just give up.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Dorothy called a steam carriage, and after the two got on it, they went directly to the collector's residence.

The other party lives in the parish of the Church of Steam, which is on the east side of Jianhai, and it is very stylish.

There are about tens of thousands of residents in the entire parish, most of them are believers of the Church of Steam.In the diocese, the church has a high degree of autonomy.

As long as there are no major disturbances, the Plantagenet Empire rarely intervenes in management.

There are three major churches like this in Jianhai.

And the scale is similar, with tens of thousands of people living there.

Although it is very rare compared with the millions of permanent residents in Jianhai, the scale here can actually be compared with some small cities.

Not all cities in the Plantagenet Empire had large populations like Wudun and Jianhai.

The number of some border towns is only tens of thousands, 10,000+ people, and this is after counting the number of those villages and towns.

And in Jianhai, with such a large area, one can imagine how much wealth can be generated.This is also one of the reasons why the church was able to maintain a huge scale without experiencing financial shortages.In almost every city, a large church has its own parish.

The carriage drove all the way into the steam parish.

The architecture here is significantly different from other places in Jianhai.

Most of the architectural styles are extremely regular. The walls of the house are covered with thick iron sheets, which looks like an iron bastard.Even if there is a bombardment with a weapon of mass destruction, it is estimated that the people living inside are not in danger.

The streets on both sides are also well planned.

The street lamps are even rectangular, and everything is as if obsessive-compulsive disorder has been carefully calculated and built according to the plan, which is so tidy that it is scary.

Some three-meter-high gear mechs can be seen everywhere on the road, maintaining law and order.

They are playing the teachings of the Church of Steam all the time, which seems a bit noisy.

And the residents here seem to be used to it, and no one is curious or surprised by these moving big guys.

The carriage stopped in front of a villa with dark walls.

After Dorothy got out of the car, a man wearing a thick windbreaker and a hood walked over.

"Is Mr. Rudolph here? I've contacted him before, and I'm going to buy some of his collection today." Dorothy asked in a calm voice.

The man glanced at Romon and nodded, "Mr. Rudolph is at home, come with me."

The man is a second-order awakened person.

He opened the iron gate and led the two of them through the garden to the main entrance of the villa.

After entering, a middle-aged man in a black suit was sitting on the sofa, sipping a cup of coffee intently.There are fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and his pupils are a little light blue, with a weather-beaten temperament.

"Welcome, both of you. I have been waiting for a long time, Miss Dorothy, Mr. Romond."

The other party stood up, with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Hello, Mr. Rudolph."

Romon returned a salute.

After the three got to know each other, Rudolph took them to his collection room.This collection room was obviously made of special materials, which could block the exploration of the spirit vision. Only by entering the room can one see the real situation inside.

The indoor area is about [-] square meters.

There are all kinds of strange collections in it. Rudolph did not introduce them one by one, but went straight in, and led the two of them to a glass cabinet.

Inside the cabinet was a half-human monkey with four ears growing on both sides of its head, and strange black tentacles protruding from the ears.

This is the spirit sucking monkey!
Its body was extremely shriveled, and the skull was exposed in some places.This means that the spirit monkey has been dead for many years, and the age of the specimen in front of him is estimated to be older than Romon's.

"This is a specimen of psychic monkey that I received by chance at the beginning. Although it is only for viewing to me, because of the rarity of psychic monkeys, its collection value is very high! Ten thousand pounds, this is My psychological price. If you want Mr. Romon, you only need to take out ten thousand gold pounds, and it belongs to you now."

Rudolph's eyes carried the treachery unique to businessmen.

He was sure what Romon wanted, that's why he killed the price.

Dorothy frowned beside her.

"This price is too expensive. If you can make it cheaper, then I'll buy it right away." Romon wanted to try to bargain, but the other party didn't give him any chance at all. He insisted on a firm price, whether he wanted it or not.

This is hard.

[-] gold pounds, Romon is too far away from this goal, even if he borrows money, it is impossible to borrow so much.

and.

If this price is won, then he is really a pure and innocent.

Seeing that the two of them had no intention of buying, Rudolph was not in a hurry, but after drinking coffee with them for a while, he sent them out of the villa.

Go back to the room.

Rudolph took a sip of his coffee with a relaxed expression, showing no signs of frustration from a deal failure.

He could see that the other party was determined to get this spirit sucking monkey specimen, and when the time came, he would grit his teeth and collect enough money, and he would save a few hundred pounds, and the deal would be happily completed.

"It's a windfall."

Rudolph smiled contentedly.

It's just that his expression didn't last long. The old butler in formal attire hurried in through the side door and whispered in Rudolph's ear, "Sir, there's a problem at the pier!"

Rudolph's face changed slightly, "Is something wrong?"

"Yes, two more workers went missing today, and now everyone is unwilling to continue to work. If this matter cannot be resolved, I am afraid they will continue to strike."

The old butler said with an ugly face.

The leisurely look on Rudolph's face disappeared suddenly, and his expression was extremely dignified.He stood up and walked quickly, making up his mind: "It seems that I have to solve it myself. Those three second-order awakened people were in charge, but they didn't even find out who the murderer was. They are really useless guys."

Rudolph is a third-order awakener.

But after going through the initial difficult period of starting a business, he seldom takes action by himself, and usually his subordinates handle various things.

But just last month, a vicious murder occurred in his factory.

It is a factory that manufactures pearl jewelry. It mainly provides various pearl handicrafts to people from the middle class and above.Pearls in this era are not yet mass-produced. Although there is already a way to cultivate mussels artificially, there is still a long way to go before scientific synthesis.

The scale of the pearl factory is enormous, and every day of downtime is a huge loss.

And the shutdown not only affects his income, but also seriously affects his reputation. If the shutdown lasts for a long time, the factory will be abandoned.

This is a chicken that lays golden eggs, and most of his luxurious life now depends on the income from this factory.

So the few second-order awakened people under him couldn't solve it, so he could only do it himself.

……

Because of Rudolph's extortionate prices.

Romon could only give up and wait for a better opportunity.

He is not in a hurry, there are always opportunities, and if there is really no other way at that time, it is not too late to go to Rudolph's idea.

Now I am learning the six knight skills every day, and I am not in a hurry to quickly increase the awakening level. The six skills can be integrated, which will also greatly improve the combat effectiveness.

Romon was in the Knights' Palace recently, and it was obvious that there were fewer noble children coming and going.

It seems that the situation in Anjou Castle is somewhat tense, and the dispute between the old and the new nobles also involves the relationship between the children of these nobles.They seldom appear in such public social occasions nowadays, but are divided into factions and socialize in small circles.

This is a manifestation of the more intense struggle between the two sides.

None of this affected Romon, he still studied here step by step every day.After another two weeks like this, Amos suddenly solemnly called him aside: "I have taught you all the six knight skills, and then you need to practice hard day and night and spend a long time to master these six skills. I have honed my skills to the point of perfection, and I can't teach you any more."

When Romon heard this, his heart trembled slightly.

Amos felt like he was confessing his funeral.

He and Amos are people of two eras, and there is very little communication on weekdays.In addition to imparting skills, there is basically no other communication.

But at this moment, Luo Meng still felt a little lost in his heart.

"Let's go, I'll take you to a place tonight." Amos smiled, walked to the bedroom in the Knight's Palace, changed to a very energetic style, and then walked slowly outside.

Romon followed closely behind.

The two of them rode in a carriage and came to the parish of the endless furnace.

Amos said to Romon in the carriage: "The breathing method of the Church of the Endless Furnace actually comes from the same source as the knight breathing method, but in this era, there are very few people who practice the knight breathing method.

It's a pity that you have already studied the Basic Law.

If I had met you earlier, maybe you could really cultivate the knight breathing method to the peak. With the six skills and your innate strong physique, you can definitely reach a new peak. "

Amos has often mentioned this matter recently, with deep regret in his tone, but there are no ifs in this world.

In front of a bustling blacksmith shop.

Romon and Amos stopped here, and the two strong men inside who were forging iron saw the old man, immediately stopped their work, and bowed respectfully: "Good evening, Mr. Amos!"

"These formal things will be avoided. Be careful and don't let irrelevant people in."

Amos exhorted.

The two blacksmiths nodded immediately.

Following the old man into the side passage in the blacksmith shop, Romon asked, "Is this a secret stronghold? A secret stronghold in the Diocese of the Church of the Endless Furnace?"

Amos showed a smile on his face: "I said that the furnace breathing method and the knight breathing method actually come from the same source. Our organization is also inextricably linked with the Church of the Endless Furnace. You can understand it as the depth partner."

Romon had already guessed why Amos brought him here.

There is an organization in the hands of Amos, and the reward for Romon to learn the six skills is to help him take care of it if the organization is in danger after Amos' death.

Of course, within the scope of one's ability.

Coming here today is equivalent to getting familiar with them in advance.

From what Amos said, it seems that the Church of the Furnace not only knows the existence of his organization, but also has a cooperative relationship between the two parties.But after thinking about it, if there is no acquiescence of the Church of the Furnace, to set up a secret organization in the Diocese of the Furnace, it would be the old birthday star hanged himself-it seems too long to die.

Law and order in other places is not clear to Romon.

But the parishes of the Church of Steam and the Church of the Furnace that he had been to, these two places were absolutely controlled by their respective churches, and no sand could be tolerated.

"arrive."

Just as Romon was dreaming, the space in front of the side passage suddenly opened up.

An oval stone chamber hall appeared in front of you.

Half of the lobby area is a slowly flowing underground river, and there are several tables on the other side. There is a place similar to a pub bar near the corner, and various drinks are placed behind the counter.

There are several passages on the side, which seem to lead to different areas.

"This is the underground tavern, one of the main gathering points of the Knights of the Dawn."

Amos explained with a smile.

Looking at the brawny men sitting on the table drinking, wrestling their arms and bragging, Romon's heart suddenly became clear.

Yes.

He should have thought of it long ago.

The headquarters of the Knights of Dawn is in Jianhai, and Amos is a genuine old knight. How could this organization have nothing to do with him?
