Chapter 6: 6

Mysterious Key

Riding in a horse carriage, more than ten minutes later.

Gurney left the carriage when he arrived in Sugar Ruins City’s south area, the Antoine District, right in front of Dolan Club of Dolan Street.

The moment he left the carriage, Gurney saw that not far away, a youngster with a muscular body, wearing a thick black iron armor suitable for a tank, was getting off a black-scaled supernatural horse.

Because this black-scaled magic horse was a tamed supernatural beast, it was able to carry the heavy weight of this youngster.

This youngster had the terrifying height of roughly 2.2 meters after all.

With such a peculiar and eye-catching appearance, many people in the surroundings turned their gaze towards this youngster.

The muscular youngster seemed to be used to such a situation; he did not mind anyone’s attention.

Instead, he was looking around, searching for something.

At the next moment, he cast his gaze on Gurney.

“Sir Gurney.” The muscular youngster nodded at him.

“Good evening, Sir Philosophy Knight.” Gurney nodded back.

Gurney knew this youngster quite well; they had done many transactions in private.

His name was Pavel Korchagin, an aristocrat with the behemoth bloodline. He was also one of the members joining this gathering.

Even though he seemed tall, sturdy, and muscular, giving people a feeling that he was rash, he was actually someone who was shrewd and scheming. His demeanor was quite unique to himself.

The two went into Dolan Club together.

Showing their membership card, they entered the club.

They walked towards the Sand Dragon Discussion Room that the group had booked in advance.

“What news is there regarding today’s gathering?” Gurney asked along the way.

Shrugging his shoulders, Pavel shook his head. “You know that Avery guy… Even though he is not strong, he has a tight lip. Until the final moment, he will not tell us anything, not even a word.”

“That’s true.” Gurney lightly laughed. Afterwards, he lowered his voice. “A complete supernatural Knight Breathing Style, any interest?”

Pavel was stunned when he heard this. After all, a month ago, Gurney was asking him if he knew any supernatural Knight Breathing Styles.

Even though he had a Knight Breathing Style that was mid-tier himself, he did not have any Knight Breathing Style books with him that could be sold.

But after just some time, he was actually selling a supernatural Knight Breathing Style.

“He really is a fellow that is hard to decipher,” Pavel muttered under his breath.

“What type is it?” Pavel asked.

Most supernatural books were expendable items: there was no way to make a second copy of the original.

This meant that the quantity of supernatural books tended to be low. In fact, at certain times, the lack of supernatural books in the market would cause a surge in price.

Thus, if one found a book that suited them, they would not give it up unless necessary.

“It is a breathing style focusing on both body and soul, with soul being the priority. In terms of importance, the soul is sixty percent while body strength is forty.” After passive farming Devotion Knight Breathing Style for some time, a vast amount of information had entered Gurney’s mind. His understanding of Devotion Knight Breathing Style rose by quite a lot.

“It is suitable for Faith Knights and Ascetics. Of course, the most suitable ones are the Spell Knights and Elemental Knights who already possess certain spells and elemental magic. Even Spell Warriors and Elemental Warriors are quite suitable.”

Back during the supernatural religious era, the Church controlled the supernatural powers and the relevant authorities.

Thus, the advancement of supernatural classes was rigid, stale, and fixed. Even after a thousand years, there had been no creativity and development.

But now, it was the supernatural steam era. All sorts of supernatural powers and classes were combined to create many different new supernatural classes that had never been seen before.

Like what Gurney had mentioned earlier, there were Warriors, Darkwalkers, and Spell or Elemental Knights, some even with the power to make contracts.

They were the new Transcendents that were different from the old era.

Among the new supernatural classes, there were also those which seemed glamorous but were actually weak, while others displayed great effectiveness during this steampunk supernatural era as well.

The classes that Gurney mentioned earlier were some of the most exceptional new classes in this current era.

But be it Spell Knights, Elemental Knights, Spell Warriors, or Elemental Warriors, they needed strong souls and tough bodies.

The main problem was, these new supernatural classes did not have the experience of predecessors to guide and help them. These newly created supernatural classes were experimenting themselves.

Thus, in comparison, their numbers were not high.

This also meant the market value of Gurney’s Devotion Knight Breathing Style would not be too high either.

“Body and soul dual breathing style?” Pavel thought for a while before nodding. “Sounds pretty good. I will consider collecting it.”

Gurney: “…”

“How many times can it still be used for catalyst acceptance?”

“If the soul is strong enough, it can be used for at least two or three times.”

“That’s a small number, but it is still better than nothing.” After pondering for a while, Pavel gave a suitable price. “Two hundred gold pounds.”

Two hundred gold pounds…

Gurney thought about it for a while and then nodded in agreement. “Deal.”

Normally speaking, the price for one catalyst acceptance of a low-tier supernatural book was around a hundred gold pounds.

Since it only had two or three tries left, the price of two hundred gold pounds was quite good already, considering that this supernatural book was not going to be very popular either.

In Jade Orchid Empire or even the entire Oasia Continent, the gold pound was an important unit of currency.

One gold pound could be exchanged for 10 silver dragons.

One silver dragon could be exchanged for 100 copper coins.

And the purchasing power of a copper coin was roughly around “one dollar” in Gurney’s previous world, or slightly less than that.

For the working class, a month’s salary was around twenty silver dragons, which was two gold pounds. This would be considered a pretty good salary in a small town.

If one could earn three to five gold pounds a month, they would live a considerably comfortable life.

And a supernatural book that could be used two to three times for catalyst acceptance was valued at 200 gold pounds.

This showed how valuable and expensive supernatural items were.

This was a price that ordinary people could never even afford in their lifetimes.

Even Gurney, after half a year of accumulating potions and going on adventures to collect materials, only had about slightly less than a hundred gold pounds’ worth of funds.

At this moment, the sale of this Devotion Knight Breathing Style was giving him 200 gold pounds.

Gurney would not reject it of course.

With so many gold pounds, Gurney could push forward that plan of his.

After deciding on the transaction date, the two went into the discussion room of their group.

At this time, four people had already arrived.

Other than Yulair Kogen, there was also a youngster with short hair wearing black leather armor; it was the young but mature-looking Avery.

There was also the person who was rumored to have completed the supernatural token inheritance, Blue Shire, who had pale red hair, a red robe, and a molten crystal staff in both hands.

The last of the group was Black Dill, who did not like to speak and had a cold personality. However, he had an extremely strong Mage talent and was preparing to become an Elementalist.

Seeing Gurney and Pavel’s arrival, Avery first inspected the safety of the surroundings before sitting down and speaking, “Since we are all here already, let’s start today’s meeting.”

Everyone was already used to Avery who would purposely lower his voice to sound more adult-like, so they did not show much of a reaction.

“This time, our target is in the direction of which this special key is pointing to.”

Saying so, Avery waved his hand as a black thorn wooden box appeared out of nowhere. It was exquisite, and the outer layer of the box was covered completely in runes.
