"This leather armor has just been made, and it doesn't have a specific name, but I call it 'Wolf Armor,'" Miss Fani said with a smile as she showed it.
"Wolf armor?" Ebner stirred in his heart as he recalled that this lady had previously sold a Claw of Frost at his teacher's gathering. He immediately guessed something.
"Yes, its main ingredient was a Werewolf's hide. Only its vital spots were fused with the skin of a Zombie… Together with some other Beyonder ingredients, we formed this Werewolf Armor." As Miss Fani spoke, she stood up, took out the armor from her suitcase, and wore it.
Indeed… I heard that Miss Sharron and the others had once seduced the Church of Storms and ambushed Jane before they clashed with the Rose School of Thought's indulgence faction… Could it be that the ingredients of the Werewolf and Zombie she killed had fallen into the hands of the Artisan backing Miss Fani?
As he pondered, he watched the young lady clumsily hang up the ice-cold wolf armor.
Surprisingly, the leather vest looked very flat when folded in the suitcase, but it was surprisingly well-tailored when worn by Miss Fani. Even her excellent figure was outlined, as if she was wearing a lady's armor from some online game in his previous life.
As an Intis lady, Fani didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she openly circled around and said with a smile, "As you can see, this leather armor can automatically adjust its size and shape according to the wearer's figure… It's just too tight, so it's best not to put anything sharp in the clothes inside…"
It's the material on a werewolf from the indulgence faction… It's not strange to have this problem…
Ebner lampooned inwardly as he shifted his gaze away and asked, "What Beyonder powers does it have?"
"When wearing this leather armor, one can obtain super strong self-recovery abilities. When running at full speed, one can forcefully raise their speed to the level of a steam locomotive at its peak. However, each activation of these two abilities will shorten the lifespan of the Wolf Armor. As for how much it will cost, it will depend on the actual situation.
"In addition, it's not afraid of fire or drowning. It can weaken or even be immune to many kinds of magic, especially ice-type spells. It's almost useless against it.
"Finally, its defensive strength against vital spots is extremely strong. Even the direct bombardment of bullets and cannonballs can't affect it… Yes, it will take at least five strikes to break its defensive strength against vital spots."
At this point, Miss Fani took out a gun and aimed it at her heart to demonstrate.
Upon seeing this, Ebner, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately stood up and extended his hand to stop her.
"I believe you wouldn't lie to me about something like this… So, forget the demonstration."
As Ebner took the revolver and placed it on the coffee table, he tried his best to speak sincerely.
What a joke. If she were to really shoot, not to mention how much of a misunderstanding it would bring to the servant next door, as well as Mr. Skade and the others, if there was a problem with the quality of this "wolf armor," and the young lady in front of him were to get into trouble at his place, it would be hard to explain.
As for what the function of the Wolf Armor was like, he could use the White Eye to analyze and confirm it later.
Fani didn't stop Ebner's actions. She released the gun's handle and added, "That's the negative effect… Wearing it often makes one impulsive. Without any external interference, one often does whatever one thinks of doing."
Lust… The word flashed through Ebner's mind once again. He could think of anything he wanted, and it was also a manifestation of his "Lust."
However, at this level of "indulgence," he should be able to balance himself with a sedative or a spell that stabilized his mind without affecting his usage of it.
"It was recently forged. In theory, it can exist for more than three years… However, if you use the powers of 'self-recovery' and 'acceleration' frequently, you might become an ordinary leather armor in a few months."
With that said, Miss Fani untied the "string" made of spiritual materials around the edge of her leather armor and took it off.
Then, she folded the "wolf armor" and placed it back into the suitcase. She pushed it onto the table in front of Ebner and asked with a smile, "Detective Bryan, how's the gift I prepared?"
"It was very useful to me. Thank you for the trouble, Miss Fani."
Ebner was indeed very satisfied. This Beyonder item might have a time limit, but it had powerful defensive capabilities. It also had excellent healing powers and escaping abilities. It was definitely a life-saving weapon.
If it were to be sold for auctions, the price of such an item would be at least 1,500 pounds. If one were to encounter someone who desperately needed it, it was not impossible for the price to exceed 2,000 pounds.
"You're welcome… as long as you like it. After all, I'm doing it to thank you for saving my life," Fani said happily when she saw Ebner accept the leather armor.
Ebner thought for a moment and asked Miss Fani to wait while he returned to his office to write a document. Then, feeling that it wasn't serious enough, he found an envelope and sealed it. He then returned to the living room and handed the envelope to her.
"I have something else that I'd like to entrust you with, Miss Fani… This is my advance payment."
"Just call me Fani Detective Bryan, if you have anything to say, just say the word. I don't have to pay for it." Franny didn't take the envelope as she waved her hand.
I'm trying to maintain our relationship. I might have to trouble you in the future if I need to create Beyonder items. Are you going to help me for free every time?
As his thoughts raced, Ebner stuffed the envelope into Miss Fani's hands and said with a smile, "Don't refuse. There's something you need here. In addition, my commission is a long-term one, so it might be very troublesome… Also, just call me, Ebner, like Emma."
Fani didn't refuse this time. After receiving the envelope, she asked thoughtfully, "What do you want from me, Ebner?"
"There are two things… First, I hope that you can help me take note of the information regarding 1-025. Yes, it's best if you help me organize it every few days."
Although Ebner had never directly encountered the cursed item, he had indirectly interacted with it several times. He had a vague feeling that his "fate" with it wouldn't be so easily severed. Perhaps he might really encounter it one day… Therefore, it was very necessary to figure out its whereabouts in advance.
"Sure." After a moment's thought, Fani agreed. She didn't ask why Abna believed that she had the ability to obtain information on a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact. After all, even without using her connections, she could more or less obtain some information just by relying on Emma.
"The second is that I hope you can help me collect some of Roselle's notebook and manuscripts. I've recently been interested in those Roselle characters." Seeing that she had agreed, he immediately made a second request.
If he could get the real Roselle diary, there was naturally no need for him to fabricate anything. This was especially so for Klein, who had matured very quickly. He wasn't as easily fooled as before. If he missed anything, it might incur his suspicion.
"That's easy. Previously, in order to 'decrypt,' Emma had also searched for Roselle's notebook, but unfortunately, she was unable to decipher it… I'll get a few pages from her in a few days." Fani didn't pay much attention to this request and agreed very easily.
After that, the two of them talked about mysticism. As it was almost noon, Miss Fani seemed to have other social events to attend. Only then did she reluctantly leave.
Only when she got into her own carriage did she recall the letter that Ebner had handed her. She took out the envelope from her exquisite pouch and carefully opened it.
When she saw the contents of the letter, Miss Fani was stunned. A look of surprise and joy flashed in her eyes!
This was because the piece of paper was the Barbarian potion formula that she had been longing for!
"Ebner, what a gentle person."
…
Ebner, who only wanted to maintain their relationship so that he could "fleece" her for a long period of time, didn't know of Miss Fani's evaluation of him. He returned to his room after lunch and took a nap to replenish his energy while waiting for three.
Meanwhile, in a particular basement of Pritz Harbor.
Alger sat in his chair, looking coldly at the struggling man as he listened to his testimony.
"H-he's here to complete a mission, but I'm not sure what it is exactly." The struggling pirate lost all will to resist, and he answered honestly, "I only know that he might benefit from it. Qilangos once boasted in front of us that if this matter goes smoothly, he'll get an item he's been dreaming of getting for a long time. The Four Pirate Kings will also become the Five Pirate Kings."
An item that he had been dreaming of? What could it be? Could it be that the mysterious employer behind him could give him a demigod Beyonder characteristic?
Alger frowned and slipped into deep thought.
…
At three in the afternoon, Klein looked at The Sun, who he had pulled up ahead of time. Then, he established a connection with the crimson stars representing Justice, The Hanged Man, and The Tower. He pulled the three members back into the magnificent palace that looked like a giant's residence.
As soon as Audrey saw the scene in front of her, she immediately greeted with a brisk tone,
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool. I've memorized another page of Emperor Roselle's diary."
With that said, she greeted the three men in front of her. She only thought to herself that it was time to develop a few other female Tarot Club members.
