However... recalling a certain point in what Lin Ruo had just said that caught his attention, Klein immediately looked at him unhappily and said, "What do you mean 'your son'?"
"Calm down, it's not like I haven't wanted to be your old father for a day or two, why are you making such a fuss?" Lin Ruo glanced at him, his attitude so natural as if he wasn't the one who wanted to be Klein's old father, "Besides..."
Lin Ruo suddenly put on an act, revealing a disappointed and sad expression, sighing, "Don't you know how good I am to you? I taught you occult knowledge, gave you Beyonder weapons, tailored a special training plan for you, and even prepared the formulas from Sequence 9 to Sequence 0 for you..."
"And yet, you're not even willing to call me 'Dad'."
Klein: ...
Oscar really owes you a little golden man!
"Get lost!" Not knowing what else to say, Klein could only express his feelings with a word, his face expressionless.
"Tsk tsk, how heartless." Lin Ruo retracted the sadness and disappointment on his face, shaking his head as if lamenting, and finally said, "Alright, I'm not kidding anymore, let's eat quickly, we still have to attend the Eye of Wisdom's gathering tonight!"
Klein immediately stopped talking and lowered his head to continue enjoying his dinner. However, he had to admit that after Lin Ruo's interruption, Klein's originally somewhat suppressed mood had eased a lot.
Lin Ruo casually picked up the newspaper on the table and began reading other sections. Although he hadn't been in a hurry when he arrived, he hadn't really had time to read the other sections of the newspaper, so now he was just looking at them to pass the time.
The room fell silent for a while, but the atmosphere was as harmonious as ever.
After Klein finished dinner and washed the dishes, the two of them disguised themselves and went to the Bravehearts Bar on Iron Gate Street.
The situation in the bar was the same as always, filled with the aroma of malt wine and people who were either enthusiastic, frustrated, or drunk.
Because he also intended to get to know Maric and Sharon this time, Lin Ruo naturally began searching as soon as he entered the bar, but he didn't see any trace of them. Lin Ruo didn't mind, after all, Maric and Sharon might be in a separate room, like a card room or something.
I'll ask after the gathering ends... Lin Ruo thought, leading Klein through the crowd to the alley behind the bar.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
As always, he knocked the password on the door panel in a certain rhythm, and after being scrutinized by the waiter at the gathering, Lin Ruo and Klein were let in and entered the living room on the first floor.
The arrangement of the living room was the same as before, with only a candle lit on the coffee table as a light source.
Lin Ruo and Klein found a corner to sit down, and soon others arrived in the living room. When the time was almost up, the Eye of Wisdom glanced at the clock and announced the start of the gathering.
"I want to sell the Apothecary formula for Sequence 9, 220 pounds." As soon as the gathering started, Lin Ruo heard someone say. It was a boy, and judging from his voice, he shouldn't be very old, and he should be a newcomer to the gathering.
Lin Ruo could tell that the other party's voice was trembling, seemingly very nervous and a little excited.
"Oh, it seems that there may be more than one Apothecary at the gathering in the future. This is really an unfortunate fact." As soon as the boy finished speaking, the fat Apothecary in the corner spoke, as if mocking himself or simply lamenting.
"220 pounds, I'll take it." Lin Ruo said. The reason he wanted to buy the Apothecary formula was naturally for Viscount Glaint. Although that unlucky child already knew the main ingredients of the Apothecary potion formula, he still hadn't obtained the complete Apothecary potion formula. As a friend, Lin Ruo naturally wanted to help him.
"Okay!" The boy who had made the deal seemed very excited, and his voice was much louder. Fortunately, although he was a newbie, the boy also knew the rules and honestly had the Eye of Wisdom identify the authenticity of the formula, and then completed the transaction with Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo casually opened the paper and looked at the contents, memorizing the Apothecary potion formula, and then put the paper away.
The fat Apothecary then made his daily request: "Does anyone have the medulla crystallization of the Elf Spring?" He actually didn't have much hope when he said this, after all, the fat Apothecary had been disappointed too many times. But to his surprise, this time, after he finished speaking, someone answered:
"I have it, 350 pounds, do you want it?" Lin Ruo said with a smile. He did have the medulla crystallization of the Elf Spring, after all, he had been wandering at sea for quite some time.
And the "medulla crystallization of the Elf Spring" might be rare in Backlund, but it wasn't too uncommon at sea.
"Really?" The fat Apothecary first looked at Lin Ruo in surprise, and then realized something and said with pain, "350 pounds is too expensive... How about 200 pounds?"
Although having the "medulla crystallization of the Elf Spring" was very surprising, Lin Ruo's price really made the fat Apothecary feel pain.
"350 pounds is actually a very fair price, or do you want me to quote you 400 pounds?" Lin Ruo said with a smile. He really didn't care about these few hundred pounds, he just wanted to tease the other party.
"Don't, don't, don't!" The fat Apothecary quickly said, and then said somewhat unwillingly, "Can't it be cheaper?"
"Do you have the Monster pathway Sequence 9 formula?" Lin Ruo said. The reason he suddenly mentioned this was because he remembered the guy in Tingen who almost blinded Klein because he was half a "Monster", and also in order to make a good connection, he simply said, "If you have the formula, I don't mind you exchanging it for the medulla crystallization of the Elf Spring."
"Monster potion formula... Damn it, I should have chosen that lucky pathway back then." The fat Apothecary complained, and said, "I can get the Monster potion formula, but it takes time... Can I give it to you at the next gathering?"
"Okay, but the medulla crystallization of the Elf Spring will also have to be given to you at the next gathering, otherwise, what if you take the things and run away?" Lin Ruo said with a smile.
"How could I do such a thing... Next time is next time, then it's settled, you must come to the next gathering." The fat Apothecary muttered, although he was disappointed that he couldn't get the medulla crystallization of the Elf Spring immediately, but at least he finally had hope. As long as he got the Monster potion formula at the next gathering, he could get the "medulla crystallization of the Elf Spring", and his mood was still good.
After them, several more transactions were successfully completed, and the woman whose face was completely obscured by the shadow of her hood, suspected of having craftsmen behind her, spoke:
"I want to sell a Beyonder weapon."
"Purification Axe, a convenient melee weapon, manufactured by the Eternal Blazing Sun Church, not only is it extremely sharp, but it also has strong purification and exorcism effects, it is the nemesis of undead creatures such as water ghosts, wraiths, and Zombies, and it can also create a purification field with a radius of about five meters in a short period of time after inputting spirituality, and it can still be used for three years."
"700 pounds, and you can get it."
Ah, this! Is it such a coincidence?
Looking at the box at the woman's feet, which seemed huge compared to the box she usually used to hold long sword-like weapons, Lin Ruo blinked and said without any hesitation, "700 pounds."
Little Sun, this is not me deliberately harming your style, it can only be said that it is fate!
You are naturally destined for the axe!
