The sun is high - #209 - Chapter 208 Gerald

The fist may not be able to solve all problems, but if the fist is big enough, it can make many things easier.

Although Xiuge’s trip to Iris Street could not be said to be smooth, it was not bumpy either.

Just as Shouge said to General Boots, he did not expect Iris Street to complete the preparation and transformation within a day or two, but at least he needed the people on Iris Street to give him a clear attitude.

If the group of people headed by General Boots turn a blind eye to the real situation in Salem City and are determined to continue to implement their own methods, Shuge will naturally not mind using the most violent “communication method” against them. “Yes.

Shuge thought about it carefully and found that he seemed to have to thank the Black Sun Society member who was lurking next to General Boots.

The Legal Committee’s blockade of Salem City has obviously also successfully cut off the communication and exchanges between the remaining members of the Black Sun Society in the city and the outside world. Therefore, they are now most likely continuing to perform the tasks they accepted in the past, that is, Do your best to disrupt and destroy the order in Salem City.

As a veteran who has been working in the independent government for a long time, General Boots did not hesitate to look down after witnessing the terrifying infiltration of the Black Sun Society into his “territory”.

He immediately grabbed Shuge and asked, wanting to know if Shuge had any method or magic that could identify members of the Black Sun Society.

Of course, Shuge would not leak the existence of the Black Sun Scepter. He just told Boots in an understatement that he had “researched” some magic rituals within the Black Sun Society, so he could learn about the Black Sun Society’s other members who had also been exposed to such rituals. The members have a magical level of induction.

After getting this answer, General Boots immediately made his request. He hoped that with the help of Xiuge, he could completely clean up the hidden dangers inside Iris Street. To this end, he was willing to provide Xiuge with a large number of mages that he needed. Magic crystals, potions or other alchemical materials.

This request played right into Xiuge’s wishes.

From the moment he stepped into Iris Street, he had already wanted to take action against these hidden association members. After witnessing the gathering of the Black Sun Association, Shuge’s tolerance for these people has been infinitely close to zero.

Xiuge had no idea that he would get such an honest opportunity to strike.

It’s even paid!

In a silent tacit understanding, Xiuge and others sat down in the reception room again, and this time, the atmosphere of the conversation had undergone subtle and important changes. Although both parties still retained a considerable degree of caution and vigilance, What was discussed was already those specific methods and measures.

…

Iris Street is the busiest at noon. At this time, the neighborhood can even return to its pre-disaster appearance.

When the sun is the warmest and brightest, a large number of warehouses converted from shops in Iris Street will be temporarily open, and all the residents living here will also gather here. For them, now it is not only the opportunity to visit Iris Street The time to receive supplies is also an important time for all survivors to focus on “trading”.

However, now the transactions of all survivors in Salem City have completely returned to the most primitive barter state. As for coins… In this doomsday situation, one inferior crystallized bullet is worth ten general gold coins. More valuable.

Various cans, magic crystals of different qualities, clothing of varying thicknesses, and various magic alchemy items that can still be used are now the most valuable “currency” in this city.

As for the exchange and transaction of weapons such as crystal guns, they must be witnessed and registered by the clerk of Iris Street.

The location of this type of transaction is also set in a large-scale store. It used to be the largest souvenir shop of the Royal Family of Delan on Iris Street, but now, it has been transformed into an ordinary warehouse.

Following the “guidance” of the Black Sun Scepter, Shuge came to the door of the store.

He listened to the voices coming from the store and looked at the shaking figures. He couldn’t help but asked an Iris Street officer who was following him: “I thought you would put an end to the trading of weapons and even collect them.” Take away the weapons of those survivors…”

“We thought about it, but we just couldn’t do it.”

The officer shrugged: “Not everyone trusts us, and now is the time when we are short of people. If someone spreads this news, I’m afraid no one will dare to come.”

“That’s it…”

Xiuge muttered softly, and then his eyes fell on the side of the store door. There, he saw a strange pattern painted with magic oil paint. It looked like a sneaky figure. A giant-eared goblin dressed as a thief.

Because of the artist’s extremely poor skills, this giant-eared goblin looks not only twisted but also very insignificant. It no longer looks like a goblin thief, but more like a goblin bandit.

“Sir, is the target inside? Do we need to go in with you?”

“No, seal the store, don’t let anyone else in, and detain everyone who leaves midway… You can think of your own reasons.”

Shuge responded, and then he walked towards the store.

As soon as he stepped through the door, his attention was attracted by the quarrel coming from the depths of the store.

Shuge easily distinguished a somewhat familiar voice from the arguing voices, so he smiled, let go of a survivor who walked out of the store with a crystal bullet bag, and then pressed against the store’s sign. The edge goes inward.

Soon, Xiuge saw an extremely tall and familiar figure sitting on an exaggerated chair, but even so, he was still much taller than an ordinary person.

At this time, this incredibly huge figure was holding the tabletop of a long table with his hands, and opposite him, a man with messy hair was roaring angrily.

“Is this how you deceive us? Look at these bullets, which of them are usable? The crystals inside have no magic power at all… You guys want us to use such bullets to fight against monsters, and then be swallowed directly by them Drop it?”

As he spoke, he slammed a bag of bullets onto the long table, and a large number of crystal bullets immediately scattered from the bag, scattering all over the table with scattered sounds.

Many people present couldn’t help but let out a low cry, because they all knew that most of these crystal bullets were very dim, which meant that the magic crystals filled and embedded inside the bullets actually had no magic power.

A crystal bullet that has lost its magic power will be difficult to fire through a crystal gun. Even if its magic power stock can still support firing, it may not be able to produce a normal magic power explosion when it hits the target.

This is indeed an extremely bad and serious accident.

Everyone who has been able to struggle in Salem City until now knows that the small-scale magic explosion caused by crystal bullets is enough to damage and repel a certain size of “sludge” monsters, but if there are serious mistakes and errors during shooting, then These shooters are also destined to pay a huge price.

“Everyone, you’d better open your bullet bag and check it carefully!”

Under the influence of excitement, the man’s face began to turn red, and he shouted excitedly: “I have counted forty crystal bullets, and twenty-eight of them have no magic power at all! The rest are also They are all defective products with only a little bit of magic power!”

He raised his head and looked fiercely at the huge figure sitting behind the long table: “I knew you damn ogres couldn’t change your nature! Even at this time, you have to learn from us humans. Is there any oil or water squeezed out of your body?”

Behind the long table, the huge figure stretched out his hand. He gently picked up a crystal bullet from the table, raised it to his eyes, and observed it carefully.

This person with an unusual figure and who had just been scolded as an “ogre” was naturally the owner of the “Alchemy Thief” shop in Salem City, Gerald.

It was this alchemy shop owner who claimed to have a certain “ogre bloodline” who provided Xiuge with some extremely important magic materials, and the magical abilities exchanged from them helped Xiuge survive the final crisis. It was a difficult time.

Although Shuge had already heard about Gerald from the members of the Three-Color Brotherhood before, Shuge would still be sincerely happy to see such an old acquaintance in person on Iris Street.

Gerald was not aware of Shuge’s arrival, and all his attention was focused on the crystal bullet in front of him.

He gently shook his thick fingers, making the bullet slowly rotate between his fingers. At this moment, Gerald showed an amazing concentration that was completely different from his own appearance and body shape. This kind of The extremely concentrated posture even made some of the noisy people unable to help but close their mouths.

After about ten seconds, Gerald put down his hand and threw away the bullet, letting it mix with his own kind again.

He didn’t get angry or explain, but scratched his head in confusion and wrinkled his eyebrows.

Then, Gerald asked in his deep voice: “How did you do it?”

“What?”

The man who was busy venting his anger was a little confused by Gerald’s calm question, but before he could make the next move, Gerald had already asked his first question slowly. Two questions.

He spoke very slowly, as if he was worried that the other person wouldn’t be able to hear him clearly.

“I mean, what method did you use to drain the magic power inside the crystal bullet without damaging it? You don’t look like a mage, either?”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire store became a little weird, and some of the survivors who reacted quickly walked toward the outside of the store without hesitation based on the principle of caution.

The man with messy hair hesitated slightly, but then he raised his hand and slapped the long table hard, and roared again: “Okay… I knew that not only did you not intend to be responsible for this, but you even Do you want to put all the problems and responsibilities on me?”

Before he finished speaking, a shocking loud noise echoed in the store.

People with ogre blood are naturally much stronger than ordinary people, and Gerald’s speed is extremely amazing. With Xiuge’s current reaction speed, he could barely see Gerald’s movements when he raised his hand.

As for the man who used crystal bullets to find trouble, he was now even more shocked in place by the loud noise and the strong wind caused by the shaking of Gerald’s palm.

Gerald slowly raised his hand, only to see a crystal bullet on the table sinking directly into the table under his fierce slap.

“Many people in Salem City know me… Even the people who like to trouble me the most must admit that I am one of the best alchemy craftsmen in this city… You can’t hide this little trick. I.”

As he said that, he slowly stood up from his large chair. His intimidating figure stood in the sunlight, and the intimidating power it brought was needless to say.

Many people present burst into laughter at this moment. Gerrard did not tell lies, and they did not get anything problematic here. Therefore, in just a moment, these people all chose to stand with Gerrard. Ladd’s side.

Seeing that the conflict was likely to escalate further, a rather gentle voice came from the side.

“General Boots doesn’t want anything to go wrong in the transactions on Iris Street… Any deceptive behavior is not allowed here.”

People turned their heads to look, only to see a young mage slowly walking out while using his mage’s hands to push away the people blocking him.

The young mage who successfully attracted everyone’s attention came to the edge of the long table. The mage’s hand picked up a crystal bullet that had fallen to the ground for him, and hovered directly in front of his eyes.

Xiuge simply glanced at the bullet, and then laughed under Gerald’s extremely surprised gaze: “It’s actually very simple to do this. If a mage directly uses these crystal bullets as By using magic crystals that replenish magic power, he can easily drain the magic power from these bullets…”

He paused and turned his gaze to the man whose expression began to change rapidly: “It’s just that this method itself has no practical efficiency and meaning. After all, the crystallization used in this type of bullet has not been processed at all. After purification processing, the magic power drawn from it is messy and cannot effectively replenish the magic power at all.”

After saying that, Xiuge threw away the bullet and slowly took two steps, directly blocking the man’s retreat.

In the slightly frightened eyes of the man, Xiuge said calmly: “But, I know this is definitely not your problem, nor your idea… After all, you are not a mage at all, so naturally you have no way to use up those bullets. of magic.”

“So, who did this? Can you tell me?”

…

The signal in the mountains is very poor. . . .
