The Death List Novel - Chapter 599
Chapter 599 A Coincidence
[Ghost Boy] Cassie, a high-level Apostle, belonged to the Nirvana Party of Apostle City’s [Horizon of the Sky], and had a brief intersection with Qin Lun in the Narse World.
At that time, Cassie and two other high-ranking Apostle members of the Nirvana Party plotted to assassinate the legendary Great Druid, Master Weimar, but they were disrupted by Qin Lun, Hill, and the others. Qin Lun narrowly escaped death in that battle. Finally, he learned the first [A +] class magic skill-Treeworld descended. However, his Knight Iron Cross was also taken away by the forest and the Moonlight Goddess.
However, seriously speaking, Qin Lun and Cassie didn’t have any personal grudges. Sometimes, when Apostle got the opposite storyline, one side would inevitably suffer a loss. Moreover, Qin Lun had received a sincere invitation from Cassie, a high-ranking Apostle, before he could change his profession, so they had a good impression of each other.
“You are” Cassie’s expression was a little hesitant. He remembered something, but he didn’t dare to confirm it.
“Nars!” Qin Lun raised his glass with a smile and nodded at him.
“No way, is it really you?” Cassie’s eyes widened, and her baby face revealed a trace of shock. “You’re at the high level?”
“Not yet, Second Grade. He came with someone else.” Qin Lun smiled reservedly.
“Oh!” Cassie let out a sigh of relief and shook her head with a bitter smile. “Very quickly. I remember that you just came into contact with the edge of your profession … How many quest worlds did you spend to reach Second Grade? Twelve? Thirteen? Less than fifteen at most, right?”
Cassie’s big eyes rotated, and a trace of cunning appeared in his eyebrows.
“Stop guessing. It’s only Second Grade. It’s not worth thinking about, is it?” Qin Lun smiled bitterly. He did not dare to underestimate this person in front of him. In fact, they hadn’t won in terms of plan. If the Forest Goddess hadn’t spied on his Iron Cross Medal, he would have died long ago.
“Haha, that’s pretty good!” Cassie patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “This is your first time at the club. Come, let me introduce you to some friends.”
Cassie brought Qin Lun along and stopped in the crowd. It could be seen that this “ghost boy” was not only extremely intelligent, but also seemed to be very popular. After strolling around, he brought Qin Lun to establish a relationship with no fewer than seven or eight large teams.
“You have a good face. You really need to be popular!” Qin Lun looked at Cassie acting cute beside the two women Apostle with a faint smile, causing the two of them to flourish. He couldn’t help but touch his chin. Unfortunately, his personal style was different. Even if Qin Lun had such a baby face, it would probably be very difficult for him to pretend to be so delicate and outstanding.
After walking around with Cassie for a long time, Qin Lun finally took his leave. Apostle came to the club more and more, but after entering and leaving the manor, the flow of people in the garden began to stabilize. Most of them had already put the items on the auction list and were almost ready to start working.
Qin Lun returned to the back garden of the castle, caught an auction flying board, and slowly looked at the auction list.
The club is held once every two months. Because of the expensive admission tickets and transaction taxes, most high-level Apostle will not come every time. The number of people in each term is roughly maintained at more than 200 people.
However, the recent battle between the Broken Star Sky and the Superstring Space had caused turmoil every other city in Apostle, so the auction was quite lively this time. Qin Lun roughly estimated that the number of Apostle in the manor had already reached five hundred.
“These items are quite good!” Qin Lun scanned the auction list, his eyes flashing.
At this moment, there were almost a thousand items on the auction list, 70-80% of which were of interest to Qin Lun. As expected of a high-end auction. However, the prices of these items were also frighteningly high. The lowest auction price he had ever seen was 250 thousand broken crystals, belonging to a purple-gold wand.
As for the World Treasure Restoration Items and High Grade Magic Scrolls, these items weren’t sold in a single item. Most of them were sold in two or three bindings. Some of the high demand magic scrolls were sold in bindings with one side door.
This method made Qin Lun feel very strange, but he could also see that the auction process here was already very mature. It minimized the risk to both the buyer and the seller, and left the speculators helpless.
The auction list was roughly divided into four categories: equipment, skill scrolls, consumables, and bloodline items. Qin Lun first focused his attention on consumables. According to the plan he had discussed with the other murderers, he would first buy some high-grade Magic Scroll in order to increase his ability to protect himself in Toril World.
This was one of the benefits of having a World Token. If it was another mission world, no one knew if they could use Magic Scroll. Naturally, they wouldn’t spend a lot of money to buy high-grade scrolls.
Qin Lun’s fingers counted on the flying board and selected five Magic Scroll for bundling sales. Because he didn’t know if he could win the final auction, he had to choose a few more items, but he couldn’t choose too many. After selecting the auction item, the auction funds will be frozen by the starry sky. Unless you give up the auction item, you will no longer be able to use this portion of the funds.
Of the five Magic Scroll sold in bundles, four are of mixed type, that is, one for offensive and defensive aids, with different emphasis on each. Although most of the Magic Scroll bundled together were popular scrolls and side door scrolls, the auctioneers also paid attention to matching them to maximize the usefulness of the auction items.
For example, the most expensive bundle of Magic Scroll that Qin Lun had chosen consisted of a Tier 9 Fire Magic Meteor Pendant, a Tier 7 Light Magic Holy Light Recovery, and a Tier 7 Earth Magic Earth Cage.
The Meteor Pendant, a large-scale offensive fire spell, was very popular, but the more Holy Light it was, the less it matched the Earth Cage. Holy Light has miraculous effects on dispelling curses and dark magic damage, but its pure healing effect is not as good as water magic. The Earth Cage was very useful as a defensive spell. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as good as a Tier 6 Earth Wall, so it was a little embarrassing. The effect it could play wasn’t much different from a Tier 6 Earth Wall.
One is four-sided protection, the other is one-sided protection. The one-sided protection of the earth wall can also be used to stop the enemy, but the earth cage can only be used when surrounded by people. In addition, Tier 7 magic was twice as expensive as Tier 6 Magic Scroll. It was not worth it.
Apart from the four bundles of mixed scrolls, the other bundle of Magic Scroll that Qin Lun chose was somewhat different. This was a group of special-purpose Magic Scroll. They were rank eight lethal rays and two rank seven Eye Demon wills.
Even Qin Lun was shocked when he first saw this group of Magic Scroll’s introductions. This was because this group of Magic Scroll did not belong to the ordinary magic, but to the Eye Demons’ innate magic.
Judging from the introduction of magic, the lethal rays were extremely powerful, even comparable to some Tier 9 spells and forbidden spells. The only drawback was that it was a single damage spell.
When this Magic Scroll was opened, it would produce a lethal ray equivalent to that emitted by the Eye Demon Monarch. Magic rays would produce an instant spiritual will judgment on the target. If one’s spiritual power was less than the Eye Demon Monarch’s, their souls would be destroyed. It could be said to be extremely bizarre.
Normally, non-Apostle and storyline Legendary Professions would not be able to resist this spell. The Eye Demon Monarch’s upper limit of spiritual energy was comparable to a god’s. If not for the fact that Legendary Professions had their own special defenses in terms of willpower, even they would have been easily struck by this spell.
Even if the Spiritual Will was exempted, the lethal ray would still produce an additional Spiritual Impact, producing a similar stiff and hallucinatory effect depending on the opponent’s level of immunity.
However, the main purpose of Qin Lun’s bundle of magic was not to cause death rays, but to create two Rank 7 Eye Demon wills. Eye Demons were creatures of high spiritual will, and it was almost impossible for even gods to enslave them. They often controlled underground creatures in a dark region alone, and rarely interacted with other races.
The magical effect of the Tier 7 Eye Demon Will was to temporarily increase the user’s mental will by nearly 30 points, and there were no other side effects. It only required Apostle’s original naked mental attributes to reach 60 points or more.
Qin Lun had 73 Spirit Naked Attributes and 99 Equipment Attributes. The main purpose of this spell was to cast an [A +] class [Ninth Grade] wood spell-the Descent of the Tree Realm. To him, two Seventh Grade Eye Demon Will Scrolls were equivalent to two tree realms descending, and their performance-price ratio was extremely high.
However, for the high-level Apostle present, their physical attributes had already reached their peak, and most of the skills that were suitable for their profession would not have any difficulty casting spells. As a result, this Magic Scroll was very biased. Most of them didn’t have any ideas, and it was just the addition of a Class 8 lethal ray.
In fact, it was the same. When Qin Lun saw this bundle of scrolls, no one paid any attention to it. No matter how good the lethal ray was, it was not worth putting up two useless scrolls. He believed that he could buy the bundle of Magic Scroll at the starting price.
After browsing through Magic Scroll, Qin Lun turned his attention to the other categories of consumables and quickly chose the other two types of world treasures. One was a statue of a stone ghost, and the other was a rune worm.
There was no need to introduce the statue. Qin Lun wanted to use it as a scout. The seller had tied up five stone statues and ghost statues, enough to meet the requirements of the next expedition.
The other armor worms were rather expensive. These were magic crystals used to construct creatures. Each of them was only the size of a fingernail. They had sharp fangs and sharp teeth, and they could even make holes and fly for short distances. Even Legendary Professions would probably be shocked if they released the two big cylinders of beetles that Apostle sold.
However, these two items were also ridiculously expensive. The starting price for the five stone statues was 150,000 yuan, and it was estimated that the transaction price would not be lower than 200,000 yuan. The starting price of the armor worm was 350,000 yuan, and the transaction price was no less than 500,000 yuan. It was already equivalent to the price of a sub-legendary piece of equipment.
Qin Lun thought for a moment and ordered a few more similar items, such as the Golden Griffin Summoning Stone and the Reconstructed Hummingbird, to choose from.
After looking at the consumables, Qin Lun glanced at his own broken crystals and smiled bitterly. There were less than half of the four million left. Fortunately, most of the items he chose had alternatives, so he could get at least half of them back.
“Looks like the situation is unexpected. I’m afraid I won’t be able to buy a few pieces of Legendary equipment.” Qin Lun thought for a moment before turning his attention to the bloodline item.
