But he didn’t expect the bounty to rise from several hundred thousand to two million in such a short time.
The bounty is obviously matched to the guy’s strength.
The bounty of a first and second tier are about the same, so this means that in the eyes of the bounty assessors, Baron is that powerful.
Leonard Churchill was very curious in his mind: “Strange, what quality profession card did that guy use for his transformation, his combat power is so strong?”
He came to the Black Market this time not only to restock ammunition but also to take a look at the profession cards in advance.
Of course, he was curious about this kind of incredibly strong card.
Leonard Churchill paused in front of the bounty column, he wasn’t just standing there, he was also listening.
The onlookers in the Black Market seemed to know some gossip.
“Did you hear? The thing that lit up in the sky every midnight a few days ago, is the legendary ‘Moon’. It’s said to be something that pollutes faith.”
“The Old Days Believer is really looking for death, thinking of polluting the faith of the entire Sinless City…”
“Yeah. Luckily the people of Golden Oak discovered it in time, otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.”
“‘Lone wolf’ Baron’s bounty has actually increased to two million, tsk tsk, a first-tier Curse Card Master with such a high bounty, this is the first time I’ve seen this. Whoever takes him down would make a fortune.”
“Take him down? You’re thinking too much. You didn’t see the battle last night, the experts from the Golden Oak Security Company besieged the base in North City, the battle was intense. That guy transformed into a Vajra Black Ape and suddenly went berserk, several second-tier guys couldn’t stop him, instead, he severely injured some field agents…”
“Ah, is he that powerful?”
“Isn’t he? That’s not all. I heard that the leader of the Silver Moon Sect has a strange method, after the siege last night, the spell didn’t dissipate for a while, everyone on the whole street had wet dreams all night…”
After listening for a while, Leonard Churchill lost interest.
Gossip is often a game of telephone, the more you listen, the more mysterious it becomes.
Leonard Churchill didn’t waste too much time.
He took another walk around the Black Market to see if there was anything interesting.
And he actually found something.
In the display windows of several shops, he actually saw the armor and greatsword of a frost knight!
In other places, nobody dared to casually sell and wear the equipment of the noble private soldiers.
But in Sinless City, no one cares about nobles or non-nobles.
This kind of expertly forged armor is a hot item in Sinless City, if a melee Curse Card Master gets a set of these, exploration and monster killing safety will greatly increase.
“It seems that someone found the relics of the frost knight in the Grand Cemetery Labyrinth…”
Seeing this, Leonard Churchill also thought it was pretty good.
This way, he can boldly sell the sensitive spoils of war he has on hand.
From the original one or two hundred frost knights, he only got a few of their spoils of war, and there are naturally many left.
After a walk around, Leonard Churchill still went to the Great Ivan’s Treasure Shop.
Since he’s shopping anyway, naturally he chooses the one with the better shopping experience.
Moreover, there is that auto-appraisal robot cat, he is not afraid of being targeted when selling things.
As he walked in, he was again greeted by a beautiful customer service representative wearing a professional skirt.
After he stated his purpose, Leonard Churchill was led to the VIP room again.
But since the opening event was over, he couldn’t buy any skill cards.
However, the VIP level scheme was back.
Level one VIP needs to spend over a million;
Level two VIP needs to spend over ten million;
Level three VIP needs to spend over thirty million;
And so on…
Corresponding VIP levels have special privileges, for example, to buy the elementary skill cards he saw last time, you need VIP3.
Leonard Churchill spent over four million last time and sold a bit, his unnamed VIP card was still at level one.
But there’s no need for it, he just looked at the catalog, it was still the previous items.
Spell class skill cards like the Elementary Fireball Skill and Elementary Wind Blade Skill are not very useful to learn now, they take time, effort, and money, and it’s better to use guns.
At least for Leonard Churchill’s current situation, the cost-effectiveness is not high.
He restocked some ammunition and took another look at the profession cards.
A Card Master Apprentice needs to transition to being a formal Curse Card Master after reaching their own attribute peak, in order to obtain a higher growth limit.
But after Leonard Churchill looked at the product catalog, he was slightly disappointed.
Even in the V.I.P catalog of Great Ivan’s Treasure Shop, most of the transformation cards were of blank and black iron quality.
There were only a few of silver quality.
They were extremely costly and they all belonged to some rather unpopular supplementary occupations.
For instance, [Spade-5-Scholar] in the 5 Wisdom path or [Club-7-Musician] in the 7 Art path…
One augmented wisdom and the other had a beautiful singing voice, but neither provided formidable combat capabilities in the early stages.
Apparently, these were popular selections among the debutantes and heirs of the aristocratic families in Upper City, used for refining their emotional cognition series.
Even Leonard Churchill, having the [MarkJOKER], had no idea how to develop these two occupational paths after transformation.
He felt that under his current circumstances, it might be more fitting to transform into a close-combat occupation.
Leonard Churchill had yet to decide on which occupational path he wished to embark on and he wasn’t in a rush to do so.
An hour later, Leonard Churchill left Great Ivan’s Treasure Shop.
The advantage of the Rich Ore Layer under the commerce guild was that he could buy things not available in Sinless City.
For example, Extraordinary books.
Although he had not procured any Professional Cards or Skill Cards, he had purchased quite a few books.
This world was somewhat contradictory in certain aspects.
There was an established printing industry capable of mass producing newspapers.
Yet most of the Extraordinary related books were primitively handwritten or gold-engraved editions.
In this world, Extraordinary Books were a luxury; the cost of the parchment alone for each book was up to the tune of several thousand.
The set of twelve volumes of the Encyclopedia for Card Master Beginners that Leonard Churchill bought was filled with exquisitely handwritten text.
As per the salesperson, this appeared to be the textbook for primary students studying at the noble academies in Upper City?
Being beginner’s knowledge for card masters, Leonard Churchill was very satisfied with it nevertheless.
At least he had not come across any such book in all the shops he had visited in Sinless City before.
In the eyes of others, advanced cards or equipment may hold more value.
Yet in his eyes, knowledge was an invisible power.
Poor cognition would cause one to make some erroneous judgments.
Even foundational knowledge was like a seed in Leonard Churchill’s eyes.
It would sprout in his mind, gradually growing into a logically profound tree of knowledge.
Due to the blindness caused by scarcity of cognition, when encountering tough enemies, one might face big trouble.
Additionally, he also purchased some items to counter undead creatures – Holy Water, Exorcism Amulet, Wizard Spell Crossbow Arrows, and some reference books regarding undead creatures.
Leonard Churchill always felt a premonition that as long as he yearned for the spirit medium, there was a high chance of encountering conflict with the Silver Moon Sect.
It was better to be prepared for anything he could buy.
Now that he had money, Leonard Churchill went for another stroll around the marketplace.
He bought some insignificant things, like pictures and rubbings with Taren’s Classics on them.
They weren’t very expensive, there were quite a few of such antiquities in Sinless City.
After making a round of the various shops in the city, Leonard Churchill returned to that same abandoned building.
He took a look at some of the arrangements he had left behind, no one had been there.
It seemed that the Silver Moon Domain did not have a tracking feature.
However, he did not let his guard down. He left the mirror in place, and he went to another broken building from where he could observe the mirror.
After all the chaos last night, he couldn’t return to the Corpse Collector Company for the time being.
So, Leonard Churchill stayed in the broken building digesting all the things he had bought today.
Loading ammunition, preparing Mysterious Thunderbolt, followed by his daily indispensable physical training and meditation.
The spiked property that came after the second spirit medium was absorbed needed getting used to.
He also had to spend time reading the books he had bought.
Leonard Churchill felt that his time was hardly enough.
Time flew by and a day had passed before he knew it.
The next day, Leonard Churchill left in the evening.
Because he had decrypted a secret message from the mirror: “Tomorrow at nine in the evening, Rose Tavern.”
He was curious to know if the people from the Silver Moon Sect would truly go there..
