Chapter 3805 Little Witch
"Sir, have you found a suitable reward?" Xiaolu saw that Angel's eyes had moved away from the holographic projection, so he took the initiative to step forward and ask.
Angel did not hide anything and placed the holographic projection directly in front of Xiaolu, allowing her to see it for herself.
After reading it, Xiaolu was thoughtful: "Sir, are you hesitating which one to choose?"
Angel: "I am a little hesitant..."
However, the point where Ingres hesitated was somewhat special.
Between the two bounties each offering a reward of $300,000, Angel had no choice but to choose the personal magician because the transaction was fast enough.
As for possible unexpected risks, Angel was not worried at all and was even a little looking forward to it.
If someone really came to "rob", his gains from this trip might be more than 300,000.
So, between the two options of 300,000, Angel did not hesitate.
What made him hesitate was the initial reward of 800,000. Since Bambu had marked it, the buyer might lower his standards and buy the "every-changing style", so maybe he could really negotiate it out.
But Angle was worried that this would take too long and that the goal might not be achieved after all the arguing.
This is why Angle is struggling. Should he go and talk to the one who is worth 800,000 yuan? Or should he just choose the one who is worth 300,000 yuan?
While Angel was thinking, Xiaolu seemed to have noticed something and said with a smile: "If you don't have an answer for now, why not listen to my opinion?"
Angel glanced at Xiaolu, not expecting much: "You say."
Xiaolu smiled and expressed his thoughts. The general idea was that if Angle found it troublesome, I could help contact the buyer on his behalf and only charge a small agency fee.
Angel thought about it and felt that Xiaolu's suggestion was actually not bad.
Compared to himself, Xiaolu has been deeply involved in the black market for many years and is very familiar with the unspoken rules of various transactions, and they may be able to better understand the minds of buyers.
It would definitely be better to ask them to act as agents to conduct the transaction than for him to go alone.
Thinking of this, Angel nodded and agreed with Xiaolu's suggestion.
However, Angel just asked Xiaolu to help contact the buyer of "800,000" to see if he could win him over.
As for the buyer of 300,000 yuan, Angel did not ask Xiaolu to help. Because in Angel's opinion, if Xiaolu, as a local boss, contacted the buyer, the other party might have wanted to create some "accidental" incident, but would probably give up for Xiaolu's sake.
This does not meet Ingres's needs.
Therefore, Angle planned to contact the dealer for the 300,000 yuan option himself. Of course, the premise was that Xiaolu did not negotiate the 800,000 yuan order.
Xiaolu nodded: "Okay, I'll go and talk to you on your behalf. So what do you want, sir?"
Angel: "Two requirements. First, try to negotiate a high enough price. Second, it has to be done quickly, preferably within half an hour. If it takes more than half an hour and the deal is not done, just give up."
Xiaolu frowned: "So urgent?"
Angel nodded: "It's urgent. I need it urgently."
He doesn't have much time to waste here.
Xiaolu hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "Then I will contact them now, sir, do you want to come with us?"
Angel: "If I go, it will probably affect you. I'll just hang out in the deep underground black market. If you're done, you can contact me using the Hermit Ring."
After making the decision, Xiaolu and Angel left the "branch" of the Hermit Order.
Xiaolu went to the book page dealer alone to contact the buyer on the bounty list. Angel was wandering around, but when Angel was sure that Xiaolu had gone far away, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
Under the cover of the nightmare, Angel returned to the "branch" of the Hermit Order, but now the "branch" sign had been taken down and replaced with a "headquarters" sign.
Apparently, the Hermits felt that now that Ingres had left, they could stop pretending.
Angel walked in quietly without attracting anyone's attention.
Compared to when Ingres came before, the house was full of colorful scenes, illusions and projections, but now it is completely silent.
It was so dim that it felt like walking into an underground cave with no lights.
Not only was there a cold wind, but the road was also like a maze with forks in the road everywhere.
Fortunately, Ingres could clearly "see" every passage through his God's perspective and soon found the attic.
When Ingres came to this "attic", he naturally planned to meet the "little witch".
This little witch is definitely not simple, as she can have both a pet like Bambu and a fashion monster as a repeater. Angel is very curious about her.
Moreover, the other party happened to be in the challenge space, so he might be able to get a random task if he went over there.
This is why Ingres deliberately went into hiding and returned to the Hermitage.
The location of the attic was not very hidden, and the door was wide open. The hermits that Ingres had seen from a God's perspective were now coming in and out of the attic.
Some were moving various lamps, some were arranging light and shadow effects, and some were chattering and complaining to the people around them.
It looked like a messy classroom. Most importantly, their eyes looked like those of students, with a clear side, an ambitious side, and of course a more ignorant side.
Except for Kalyan.
Yes, Karen had also returned to the attic at this time and was preparing sugar water at a coffee bar.
The target of the sugar water supply is the "Starry Butterfly Spirit" Bambu who is lying limp on the tray.
"Thank you for your hard work today." Kalein handed the sugar water to Bambu, who immediately sucked the sweet juice through the thin straw like a greedy little butterfly.
Bambu hummed twice and continued to enjoy the sweetness of the syrup.
A short boy nearby climbed on the bar with curiosity and asked Karen, "I felt that the man today was very ordinary. In fact, we can just recruit him according to the ordinary standards. Why do we have to go through all the trouble of mobilizing so many people?"
Another young girl at the side also said, "Yes, the last time we acted like this was because of Sister Banlan. But Sister Banlan is a student of the 'Treasure Knight' among the Seven Knights. Her identity and status are worth it for us to do this. But the person Sister Xiaolu received just now, I really don't see why there is anything worth acting about..."
Karen smiled and said, "What do you little brats know? Go away and continue to set up the scene outside. We will hold the first stage in two days."
The short boy pouted in dissatisfaction: "It's always like this, you don't tell us anything. If you don't tell us, how can we grow?"
Kalyan quipped, “What else do you want to grow?”
"Of course he grew up to be a military advisor! A great military advisor who put down a rebellion with a wave of his hand!"
Karen narrowed his eyes and said, "Military Advisor? You didn't go to the surface to watch a play, did you?"
He still remembered that there was a hit drama called "The Battle of Rohweed" in the West District of Modern City recently, and the protagonist in the drama was a generation of military strategist.
The short boy glanced around but didn't dare to look directly at Karen.
Karen looked at the "guilty" boy and sighed helplessly: "Don't go to the surface. You have no identity and you haven't opened the magic book. If you go to the surface, you will be caught."
"I see."
Looking at the aggrieved and depressed boy, Karen thought for a moment, then turned to look at the others around him and said, "Aren't you curious about why you acted in front of that magician named Angel?"
"The reason is actually very simple."
"Miss Banlan and several other members who recently joined the Hermit Society actually have factions. Although they have joined the Hermit Society, their stance is still that of their original owners."
"For example, Miss Colorful, if we are not in conflict with the Dark Round Table, she might be on our side. But once it involves the Dark Round Table or the Wandering House, she will not be on our side."
"But Xiaolu can confirm that the magician named Angel is a newly born magician. He has not joined the Wandering House and has nothing to do with the surface organization... because he does not have the identity of a surface resident."
"A newcomer like this is what our Hermits Society really needs to recruit, because he can be transformed into a true 'one of our own', while Miss Banlan and others cannot be transformed. No matter how much we pay, they are still 'outsiders'."
"Do you understand now?"
After Karen finished speaking, he saw that everyone was lost in thought, so he stopped paying attention and started washing the cups on the bar.
At the same time, Angel was actually watching near the bar.
He didn't expect that he would hear a topic related to himself as soon as he came to this attic.
He originally thought that the hermit would "play" him, which was just a common event; unexpectedly, there were other deeper meanings.
"Are you trying to win me over just because I'm a free man?" Angel thought to himself, not taking it too seriously.
Compared to this, he was actually more curious about what Karen mentioned before: "When the Hermit Society conflicts with other organizations, Miss Colorful will not be able to stand on the same side with us."
This sentence may not seem like a big deal at first, but Calen said it so confidently, it seemed to mean... In the future, the Hermit Society might really come into conflict with large organizations?
So, what is the inside story of the Hermit Society?
Ingres was a little curious, but he didn't investigate immediately. He decided to focus on his business first.
Ingres went up to the second floor of the attic, entered a half-open door, and saw a room filled with all kinds of dolls.
The "little witch" was sleeping soundly on the cat bed in the middle.
A middle-aged woman with a red cloud birthmark on her face was sitting on the edge of the cat's bed, fanning the little witch with a small fan and muttering words of prayer under her breath.
Angel listened roughly and basically prayed that the little witch could successfully complete the challenge.
Angel looked at the little witch.
This is a little black-haired girl wearing a penguin coat, about eleven or twelve years old. She was sleeping soundly, with drool even flowing from the corners of her mouth, sticking her hair to it.
Angel could vaguely feel the fluctuations of fairyland power on the little witch. There was no doubt that she was in the challenge space at this time.
However, Angel did not immediately try to complete the task. Instead, he looked at the details in the room, trying to find out the little witch's real name.
In his opinion, the little witch must be a person with an NPC panel, but in order to see the panel information, he must first know her name.
However, Ingres scanned the various details in the room and did not see any place to record the "name".
Angel was silent for a moment and looked at the woman with the birthmark in the room.
A nightmare aura quickly penetrated into her brow.
After a while, Angel had learned some information from the birthmarked girl. She joined the hermit society half a year ago and her full-time job was to take care of the little witch.
It can be said that she is the little witch's personal maid.
However, even as a personal maid, she did not know the little witch's name. She usually called the little witch "Miss" or "Miss Witch".
Other people in the Hermit Order would not call her by her name, but would instead call her "Little Witch".
At least, according to her statement, no one has ever called the little witch by her real name.
As a personal maid, she once curiously asked the little witch's name, but her answer was: "My name is not important, I have forgotten it myself."
Although the little witch seemed casual when she said this, as her personal maid she could also see the little witch's inner loss.
From then on, she never asked the little witch's name again.
Although he did not learn any information about the little witch from her, Angel did get some other information, such as: the real person in charge of the Hermit Order is a lady named Lila.
However, Lila is not usually in the Hermitage.
The Hermit Society is run on a daily basis by Xiaolu, Kalain and the Little Witch.
In addition, she also told Angel a secret: some of the senior members of the Hermit Order might not be native to Modern City.
Of course, this was just her guess, but judging from some details, the Hermit Society was most likely an imported organization.
This guess surprised Ingres, but he also felt it was reasonable.
The Hermit Guild is very strange in many ways. It feels very young, but also very mature in some aspects, especially in terms of "hardware", which is even stronger than many old guilds.
Ingres didn't believe that this kind of background didn't have a strong backdrop.
Angel previously speculated that the Hermits might be backed by the Fashion Guild or the Dark Round Table, but now it seems that all of this was wrong.
The background of the Hermit Society should come from other regions and other cities.
I just don’t know which city this came from.
"Go out and think of a reason to call Karen over."
Since she didn't know the little witch's name, she could ask someone else to come. Coincidentally, Angel also wanted to know more about the Hermit Society from Caleen.
After the maid with the birthmark left the room, Angel's eyes were fixed on the little witch.
He slowly reached out his hand and touched the ends of her hair.
The next second, a text bar popped up automatically, and a large amount of fairyland information appeared on the text bar.
