Shade put the note on the counter, and Granny Natalie smiled and nodded:

"I am older and more wary than when I was young. I hope you can understand. Edmund seems to have met a very good young man. What should I call him?"

"John Watson."

Shade said, and then continued to ask about the materials:

"I heard that the local area is the origin of rotten fish. Why can't I buy this material? Isn't now the time to catch that magical fish?"

"The growth cycle of heterogeneous organisms is different from that of ordinary organisms. It takes about ten years for rotten fish to mature from fry. Old Edmond's timing was not particularly good."

Although she said this, she still took out a black bottle like a small nail polish bottle and handed it to Shade:

"Since he specially sent you here, I'm afraid it's really urgent. You can sneak into Green Lake by yourself, use the pills in the bottle as bait, and try to see if there are any fish that slipped through the net after the last fishing season. I'm afraid this is not the case.

It's easy, but at least you can be more proactive than waiting for news on the black market."

"I have to dive again..."

Although he said this, Shade still took the bottle. He asked about the price of this bait, but Granny Natalie said that there was no charge. Mr. Edmond gave a large deposit when he entrusted the purchase of the skeleton.

After temporarily dealing with the fish bones, Shade began to deal with his own affairs. When he came to a new city, he naturally had to put out a long-term commission to acquire currency relics. But unfortunately, Granny Natalie did not have such a thing here for the time being.

Relics.

In addition, Shade also didn't forget to ask about the abandoned Green Lake Town in the center of the lake and the Edwards family. Hearing Shade's question, the old woman was obviously stunned:

"Are you also planning to explore the secret of immortality?"

"No, no, I'm just curious about the Philosopher's Stone. Although I don't really believe that an ordinary family can refine the Philosopher's Stone, but maybe there will be something to gain. I found out some information from Mr. Edmond.

Information, and it was he who recommended me to try my luck here."

"Almost every year, there are people who want to do the same thing as you. In recent decades, there have been a lot fewer such people, but I have never heard of anyone being able to discover any secrets."

She shook her head:

"Almost all local ring warlocks have been to that island. There are only two outliers there - the perennial white fog, and the intermittent fog that makes people lose their sense of direction. In addition, there is an old Edwards house on the island.

The valuables and clues have long been dug up by the Zhengshen Church and the ring warlocks who landed on the island. You probably won’t find anything if you go now.”

After all, what happened to the Edwards family happened more than a hundred years ago, and many people know about it. Even though most magicians believe that an ordinary family will not have any secrets, but few good people still keep secrets in a hundred years.

took away most of the things.

Shade also expected this to be the case, but he still wanted to visit the island so that he could have some written content in his report to Miss Danister:

"Are there any taboos on the island? For example, what can't be done, or when is the best time to go?"

"If you lose your sense of direction, just stand still and wait for nature to recover. Walking around will cause some strange things to happen. If you want to go by boat, you can find fishermen willing to send you there in the fishing villages around the lake, but those rural fishermen

It's generally believed that the island is cursed by the devil, so you'll have to pay more. Other than that, there's nothing else to note."

Grandma Natalie said, and then sold Shade a map of the island for 1 gold pound. The map was drawn by the ring warlock who landed on the island five years ago. Although the accuracy is not high, it is enough for Shade.

Go find the Edwards family's old home.

"Recently, negotiations between the two countries will be held in this area. The Church of the Five Gods attaches great importance to security issues. Ring warlocks like you from other places should be more cautious in their actions."

When giving the map to Shade, Granny Natalie specially warned:

"Since old Edmund trusts you so much, I think he probably thinks that you are also a fellow traveler with us. Since last year, there have been more and more strange things in the material world, and the supervision of the church has become more and more strict. If it were not necessary,

, we don’t need to cause trouble for ourselves.”

Xia De nodded, and then came to the catalog of relics sold here to see if there were any relics suitable for him. Because of the special nature of the relics, it is best not for a ring warlock to carry and use too many relics at one time. Xia De

There is currently no shortage of functional relics in Germany, but since you are in a new place, you always have to check out the new shops.

While Shade was looking through the product catalog, Granny Natalie said again:

"Last week, someone placed a long-term commission with me, wanting to purchase special metals such as fine gold, mithril and orichalcum, and offered a very high price. As usual, I ask, what do you think of this business?

Are you interested?"

Shade shook his head. Although he had a piece of orichalcum that he got when he helped Miss Carina collect the relics at the Opera House, he had no intention of selling the piece of metal. He didn't need money urgently now.

"I'm telling you this for Edmond's sake: the other party has information about the Edwards family."

Granny Natalie said with a smile again, and Shade raised his head in surprise:

"What? Information? Oh, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect it... Do you know the other party well?"

"I know what you want to ask. Yes, I have known her a long time ago. Although the lady has a weird personality, she is still very honest as a transaction partner. You were introduced by me, and she will not lie to you.

"

"Does the other party know a lot about the Edwards family?"

"At least more than me and most people. If you hadn't been introduced by Edmund, you wouldn't have heard this from me at all."

Shade thought for a moment:

"Grandma Natalie, I do have a piece of orichalcum in my hand, but I don't have it with me. If the other party has information that I am interested in, I think this transaction can go ahead."

"Well, I need time to contact her. Please come to my place again at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I should have a reply when I think of it."

Shade nodded and pointed to the products in the catalog:

"Is this item in stock now?"

That is not a relic, but a derivative of the Keeper-level relic [Eye of Sorrow]. The relic itself is a rare magic eye. After replacing the eyes of the Ring Warlock, it can use vision to interfere with the emotions of other individuals. And the magic eye will be used in the future.

When used by an individual, a special liquid similar to tears will be secreted.

This kind of liquid, called "painful tears", can make the user plunge into great sorrow. The refining of some potions requires liquids with similar effects, and Shade bought it for the ink of Miss Dorothy Writer.
