Collectors of Beauty World

Chapter 35 Tempest

Another day with nothing to do.Lu Xiao looked at the sun approaching dusk, and got up to pack his things for dinner.If there is no accident, the old man from Jinwai is going to come over for dinner, so he has to prepare a little in advance.

But at this time, a thin man with bruises on his face hurried in.

His eyes flickered, as if he had some scruples.After looking around, he came to Lu Xiao's counter.

Lu Xiao has already pressed the shotgun under the counter with his right hand.Although he can't use it now.But you can't just turn into a Finny or a lava monster in broad daylight.So, under normal circumstances, he still solves the problem with a shotgun.

The man didn't seem to notice his movements.Instead, he leaned forward and asked carefully.

"I heard that you don't need invoices when you receive things here?"

"Uh, it depends on what it is." Naturally, Lu Xiao couldn't respond directly to such words.

The man thought for a while, then opened a bag he was carrying, and took out a thick ancient book from it.

"I've heard people say you like to collect all these queer things. How about a look at this?"

Lu Xiao took the ancient book, on which the name of the book "Damonia" was written in Hebrew.

Lu Xiao recognized it because Solomon's magic book also used this kind of writing.In the world of occultism, this is a very common text.So, he worked hard to study.

When the man heard that he could recognize the words on it, he immediately became excited.

"You know this thing, it's a very valuable antique, it..."

"It should have four copies." Lu Xiao interrupted him.Let the man stagnate.

"Four? But I only found three." As he said that, the other party took out the other two.They are "Lipo Brumus" and "Lipo Kundus".

"There's still one book left, it should be called "Roger Elle". Don't you have it?"

This question made the man almost break his defense.Lu Xiao noticed that the other party was probably very short of money, and the wound on his face was probably caused by a debt collector.He is now eager to sell what he has in hand to pay off the debt.

"Are you sure? I only found these three books. I found three of the four books. Just pay me for three books. Twenty thousand dollars for these three books is not too much."

"Haha." Lu Xiao knew as soon as he heard this that this guy was not an insider.Because these four books are very famous in the circle of treasure hunters.

The main reason is that these four books are not just one.There should be many sets of them.

The first three are all academic content.Records the knowledge of various demonic monsters.Popular in the Underworld, but that's about it overall.

Because after entering that circle, there are too many places where this knowledge can be obtained.It's good to have these three books, but it doesn't matter if you don't have them.

For insiders, the most valuable is the fourth book, "Roger Elle".This one is not at the same level as the first three.To be precise, the first three books serve the fourth book.

"Rogiel" records how to summon and restrain some of the demons recorded in the first three books, and protect the holder to complete the transaction with the other party.

This thing was created by a certain advanced wizarding school in ancient times.After most spell casters practice to a certain level, they will hit a bottleneck.In order to make a breakthrough, they will try to make deals with magical creatures from other planes.

But this transaction process will naturally not be smooth.Most creatures in Outland are extremely dangerous.If this kind of transaction is not careful, it is to send rations to the other party.To be on the safe side, "Rojeel" was born.

The biggest effect of this book is that it can protect traders from being backlashed or cheated by those demons or devils.At the same time, pay the price on behalf of the contractor.

Any transaction with the foreign domain will pay a price.Even if you prepare enough sacrifices, you still need to pay the price.This price may be intangible, such as part of your soul, part of your humanity.

It is this part that "Roger Elle" replaces.When the transaction is completed, the book will pay the invisible price instead of the contractor, and at the same time, it will be reduced to ashes.

Therefore, "Rojeel" is essentially an expensive consumable.Each book can only be used once.This also makes it more precious.

"I'm sorry, if you collect four books, I can pay you one hundred thousand dollars. But you only have the first three books, and they are only worth 5000 yuan."

As Lu Xiao said, he took out a stack of cash and put it on the counter.He actually undercut the price.These three books are worth at least ten thousand dollars in the current circle of treasure hunters.The one with [-] copies.

Mainly, this thing still has a certain collection value.Some people in the circle who are not short of money generally don't mind buying it back for collection.

It's just that this guy in front of him is obviously not an insider.Lu Xiao estimated that he should be the kind of professional who specializes in auctioning expired warehouses and containers.

The most important thing is that the other party is short of money now, so there is no reason for a business owner not to take the opportunity to lower the price.

Lu Xiao's action made the man on the opposite side short of breath, as if he was about to rush up to fight Lu Xiao.

But after taking a few deep breaths, he still held back his temper.Then said:
"I still have something to go with these three books. It's a table, candlesticks and candles. Do you want it?"

"If it's a matching item, of course I want it and I'm willing to pay for it."

"Then you might want to come with me. There are a lot of things. And I don't know what you need."

"Okay, wait for me for 1 minutes."

Lu Xiao said, putting away the three books.Then, in front of the opponent, he put a pistol into his arms.Then he picked up a bag and walked out.

"Let's go."

By this time, it was getting late.And the weather was not very good, with dark clouds.It was not yet completely dark, and the road was already pitch black.

The two got into the man's pickup truck.Lu Xiao noticed that a hole had been smashed into the front windshield of the man's pickup truck.One side window was also broken.

Under normal circumstances, this does not affect driving.Unfortunately, just as the two were on the road, it started to rain.

It's not just rain.The wind also followed.It was raining heavily outside and light rain in the car.

After a journey of more than ten minutes, the two of them had already turned into drowned chickens when they arrived.But the man didn't seem to care.Instead, he hurriedly stepped forward and called for the door.

At this time, Lu Xiao noticed that they came to a large warehouse.This thing is very popular in the United States.Many Americans will rent such a warehouse to store some sundries.

It's just that the warehouse in front of me is really a bit old.In the huge warehouse complex, there were not even a few bright lights.

The dark courtyard was shrouded in the violent storm.It's like something is brewing.
