The Death List Novel - Chapter 238

Chapter 238 Union Of Apostles
“Haha, you’ve given me a lot of good advice. It’s very helpful to me. It’s only natural for me to sell it to you first. However, I don’t quite understand. For a high-level apostle like you, your career path has long since come a long way. You shouldn’t be interested in these things, right?” Qin Lun asked with a smile.

“You know what I’m asking. Men are just dishonest. Do you think I’m helping someone else buy it?” Kelly sighed and said calmly, “It’s true to help someone else buy it, but you’ve only guessed half of it correctly. Among the three items you’ve displayed, there’s something that I really like!”

“Are you a martial artist?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and asked without hesitation. When she saw Kelly looking at him with a faint smile, she immediately rubbed her nose shyly.

“What the hell are you pretending to be? I know you’re very cunning. You can’t pretend to be an innocent youth even if you pretend to be one!” Kelly crossed her arms and looked at him with contempt.

“Cough cough cough!” Qin Lun coughed. This was the first time he had experienced the power of this fierce woman in his conversations with Kelly.

The longbow and bow dance techniques he displayed belonged to the core items of the archer profession. With Kelly’s strength, the core items of the profession were already there. Naturally, they were not needed. The only thing left was the [Flamingo], the [B] class martial skill, which was what she needed.

Qin Lun originally wanted to learn the [Flamingo] by himself, but this [B] class martial skill was very special. If he wanted to use this martial skill, he had to have a profound foundation in Dou Qi. Back then, Kyle had already half-stepped into the Second Grade, but using this B grade martial skill would still suffer a backlash. It could be seen how demanding the skill was.

“Phoenix Flying Flamingo!” A trace of reminiscence appeared in Kelly’s eyes as she murmured, “I don’t know where you obtained this skill. If it was a spoils of war that killed an apostle, then your strength would have far surpassed that of a beginner. A martial artist who is proficient in using the Wings of Dou Qi is at least a Second Grade martial artist!”

Hearing this, Qin Lun was stunned. He had never thought that the martial artist would be so powerful. Because Kyle had almost no ability to resist when the Tree Realm descended, he was treated as a passer-by. If he had come earlier, he would have been deeply impressed by the scene of Kyle instantly killing the ghost owl.

“Give me a price! The Beast King’s Hunting Bow, Bow Dance Technique, and … the Flamingo, I want them all!” Kelly came back to her senses, waved her hand, and said with a domineering expression.

Qin Lun smiled and said, “Well … you know, I’m building my own career system. These three items are intended to be exchanged for items …” “Oh right, what do you think of the other three items I consigned?”

“The other three?” Kelly raised her eyebrows and glanced at the screen. “That skull coin should be a token of a storyline race. However, there are quite a lot of coins. The price of more than 10,000 broken crystals is about the same. Although the quality of the Blue Battle Strength Apparatus is a bit low, it is still very marketable for beginner class apostles. 30,000 broken crystals is reasonable.”

As for the purple leather armor … No, it should have been a dark gold leather armor! Although the Law of Fragmentation was slightly degraded, it could at least recover to bright gold quality after it was repaired. “You actually only marked the starting price of 15,000 broken crystals. You’re really a spendthrift …”

Hearing Kelly’s unceremonious scolding, Qin Lun could only smile at the side with a shy face.

Halfway through Kelly’s words, her beautiful eyes suddenly rolled and she raised her eyebrows thoughtfully, “That bright golden leather armor … isn’t from the same archer apostle as the longbow and bow dance!”

“Oh, yes!” Qin Lun nodded honestly.

“That’s true, you idiot. Since that professional archer has made the combination of leather armor and longbow, it means that this leather armor’s attributes and skills are also biased towards archers. It’s actually sold separately … Ho-ho-ho, sister wants it together. 350,000 broken crystals, do you want to sell it?”

Kelly licked her lips and said with a smile, “You’re a big man, why don’t you be a little more straightforward?”

The corner of Qin Lun’s mouth twitched. Putting aside the fifty thousand broken crystals of the competitor’s leather armor, the price of the other three items in his heart was almost the starting price of three hundred thousand broken crystals.

He wasn’t sure about the value of the skull coins and the combat strength apparatus, so there were some accidental factors. He was too hasty in assessing the leather armor of the competitors. He knew that the shattering laws of a competitor’s leather armor had deteriorated. After repairing, the quality of the leather armor would increase. However, he did not expect that the quality of the leather armor would change from purple to bright gold.

In contrast, his assessment of the Dark Gold Longbow, Bow Dance, and Flamingo Skill Scrolls didn’t fluctuate too much. The Beast King Hunting Bow was still a dark gold equipment even though the Laws of Fragmentation had subsided. It could be seen that it should have reached the Purple Gold quality.

There were only two Purple Gold weapons Qin Lun had seen. Due to the huge consumption of light and darkness, the seller only hung 100,000 broken crystals. If it didn’t have the flaws of a bullet die, its true value should be between 150,000 and 200,000 broken crystals. As for the Holy Ice Crystal Amethyst Gold Sword that he had seen before, it was something that other people used to fish, and its value was more than 200,000 broken crystals.

Of course, the Beast King’s Hunting Bow was not comparable to the Purple Gold Sword made of Holy Ice Crystals. However, with the addition of a bow dancing technique, it was definitely worth more than 200,000 broken crystals. As for the [Flamingo] skill scroll, due to its high level, Kieran’s valuation fluctuated slightly.

However, he had read the introduction of the scroll and found that this skill had the ability to stay in the air for a short period of time. For melee professions, this was a rather rare skill. With the addition of a B-level skill, it should be worth twice as much as an ordinary skill, at least 100,000 broken crystals or more.

The price that Kelly offered was stuck at Qin Lun’s bottom line, perhaps even tens of thousands of broken crystals. But last time, the female expert gave him many career paths free of charge, and this favor could not be ignored. In this way, the deal was reasonable.

Of course, Qin Lun could ignore Kelly’s favor and bargain with her again. However, that was definitely not Qin Lun’s style.

The reason why he was able to obtain the support of both the Elves and the Abyss Devils at the Horn of the Abyss was because he valued the appearance of human relations. Regardless of whether it was disguise or not, he would not personally destroy the image he had created in order to obtain more broken crystals.

Qin Lun lowered his head and pondered for a moment before raising his head and smiling again, “You’ve helped me a lot. Perhaps those career paths are just common sense to you. But for me, they’ve made me a major choice in my combat profession.”

The young man paused for a moment before looking Kelly in the eye and saying, “Well, since you need the [Flamingo] … then I’ll give you this skill scroll! Tomorrow, I’ll give your contact number to the auction house, so you can go get it directly! As for the Beast King’s Hunting Bow and Bow Dance, you should only buy it for someone else … Tell him to come find me directly!”

Kelly’s entire body trembled and her pupils shrank to the size of needles. After a while, she smiled and nodded, “Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony!”

After the call ended, Qin Lun heaved a sigh of relief and went upstairs to rest again.

The next day, when he came to the auction house again, the [Flamingo] skill scroll had already been taken away. Qin Lun quickly completed the transaction between the combat strength instrument and the skull coins. He only retrieved the competitor’s leather armor along with the other two items on display, waiting for Kelly to send someone to contact him again.

To Qin Lun’s surprise, Kelly did not contact him for the next few days. However, Qin Lun did not mind. There was still more time until he entered the mission world next time. At most, he would look for a new deal later.

For the past few days, Kieran had been hanging out in bars and other entertainment venues, asking other apostles about what Kelly called “real trading venues.”

He didn’t know or inquire, but only after inquiring did he understand that the true trading place of an apostle who had reached the professional level wasn’t at the Corner of the Devil. In other words, it wasn’t on the Horn of the Abyss.

The large apostolic groups at the top of the apostolic city had loose alliances and hostile relationships with each other. In the case of Lost, for example, they formed an alliance with several other large groups of apostles to advance and retreat together.

There were a total of three Apostle Alliances in the Horn of the Abyss. Apart from the Order-keeping Front, there were also the Chaos Alliance and the Apostle Filling Tombstone.

The structure and purpose of the Alliance of Apostles are very loose and largely nominal. As for whether the higher-ups of those large guilds had an agreement, Qin Lun couldn’t find out. It was only known that each alliance had gathered a large amount of resources to create a square-shaped plane trading market for the use of the apostles within the alliance.

Altogether, the Three Ambassadors-Acts Alliance included about 99% of the professional apostles, or about 6,000 people. After deducting these six thousand professional apostles, the remaining ten thousand or so apostles in the Horn of Devils were basically unemployed apostles.

This information was not a secret in the Corner of the Abyss. Most professional apostles knew about it, and even a small number of unemployed apostles knew about it.

However, for unemployed apostles, the auction house could meet their needs, regardless of whether they knew about the existence of the planar trading floor or not. Moreover, most of the untransferred apostles did not have an official guild, so there was no need for them to be nominated to the Alliance of Apostles. Only professional apostles who could not meet the requirements of the auction house would want to enter the planar trading field.

After obtaining this information, Qin Lun couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Kelly wasn’t wrong, he was indeed ignorant. He, Hill, and the other murderers were immersed in their own worlds. In addition, the mission interval was too short. In the past two months at the Corner of the Abyss, they had not purposely learned about these common-sense information.

Outsiders like Qin Lun couldn’t enter the plane trading market that the Apostle Alliance had set up. However, he could join any Black Iron guild, or form an official Black Iron guild of his own and hang it under the name of a large guild.

For example, the Black Iron Team YD1255 created by Hill only needed to find the apostle representative in the Lost Residence. Sign a contract with an outsider guild and hand over 10,000 to 20,000 broken crystals per month to be listed under the name “Lost”.

Those large guilds weren’t using this to extort protection fees. This headcount fee was basically used to maintain the existence of the trading plane. Another function, of course, is to add some mass base to his own apostolic alliance.

Don’t look at it. It’s just a name! In fact, with such a crowd base, large groups would often be able to influence the entire apostolic city in all its aspects. Moreover, most of the true new blood of these large guilds came from nominal nominal guilds.

Just like Kelly said, many small teams will not be able to survive in the end. After realizing the cruelty of the quest world, once the small guild disbanded, they would choose to join a large guild. At that time, the nominal name would affect their final choice.

Just as Qin Lun was thinking about whether he should discuss it with Hill and the others, the Shepherd contacted him first!
