Chapter 53 The Unexpected Visitor

After all, the threat of the Phantom Troupe is just an undercurrent flowing in the underground world. During the day, Youkexin City is still bustling with bustling auctions of all sizes.

It's not just the big, lavish auctions that only the upper class can qualify for, but the flea market and fairground auctions are a lot of fun too.

On September 9, there was an open-air market auction on the east side of Youkexin City.

Wearing a cap and Superman glasses, Heather wore a T-shirt and cropped trousers printed with the comic character 'Evil Hero Armored Dragon' as he walked through the crowd.

There are many small commodities and antique fakes on the street, but Heather just bought some out-of-print comics from this world. During this period, he took a fancy to a military short sword in the style of the Cuban Empire, and he haggled the price with the stall owner.Both of them are masters, one cites scriptures to prove that the dagger is worth the money, and the other is arrogant and desperate to lower the price of the dagger from a side view.

The two quarreled, and even attracted many onlookers to applaud.Just when the bargaining activity was at its peak, two people suddenly emerged from the crowd of onlookers and made a decisive bid to buy the short sword.

Without the source of your bargaining, Heather and the stall owner had no choice but to say goodbye to each other.

While walking around, it was almost noon.

Places such as open-air market auctions, which are oriented towards civilians and tourists, allow licensed food vendors to enter. Heather found a popular food truck named [Manga Man] and waited in line for more than ten minutes. Bought a recommended package today.

【Manga Interstellar Set】——Half meatballs sprinkled with grated cheese and homemade hot sauce, a large sandwich with a soft-boiled egg, fried bacon, ground beef patties and homemade hot sauce, a small half box of corn salad, a large Glass of juice with ice.

Heather took the set meal box and found a nearby public station table, forked half a meatball and put it in his mouth. Well, the spiciness is very strong. It seems that this homemade hot sauce is the reason for the popularity of this fast food truck.

He picked up the sandwich and took a big bite. The overflowing gravy in the ground beef patty and the semi-solid egg yolk were delicious.

Just as he was feasting, another person came beside him, who also brought a plate of the same [Manga Interstellar Set] on the table.

"...I didn't expect a big man like you to come here." Heather took two spoons of corn salad into his mouth without raising his head.

"Knowing me? It's an honor."

"It's strange that I don't know you, the two-star ruin hunter who developed the Ruluka Ruins, one of the world's five great minds, the prodigal son of the [Twelve Earthly Branches]..."

Heather picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth, then looked at the person beside him: "Kim Fulis."

The man standing next to Heather is about 1 meters tall, wearing a loose light-colored long coat, a dark blue scarf, and a cap with many loops of cloth on his head. He looks like an ordinary uncle with a shaggy beard, but The eyes are very divine.

"Hunter X Hunter" protagonist Gang Fulixi's father, one of the world's five most powerful minds, Jin Fulixi.

Heather picked up the large paper cup and took a sip of the cold juice: "What's the point of looking for me? Let me state first, if there is a fight, I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to shoot again until January next year if I can."

"Ah, I'm not here to find fault, you can rest assured of that."

Jin also took a big bite of the sandwich, puffing out his cheeks and chewing:
"I'm here for the [weapon] in your hand."

"Absolute kingship?" Heather glanced at him: "Aren't you stupid enough to want to forcibly take the [Sword of Fire] from the holder?"

Jin swallowed the food in his mouth and raised his palm: "Of course not. I have carefully studied the myths and legends of Eudora. Although it is not as good as your holder, I have some understanding of the characteristics of 'absolute kingship'. I will come. I'm looking for you because I think you and I are the same kind of people."

"Oh? How can you see it?"

"You and I both have our own opinions and pursuits about everything in [Dark Continent]."

Jin threw the sandwich in his hand back to the dinner plate and looked at Heather: "I forgot to mention that "Those Disappearing Weapons" was written by me."

Heather froze as he was about to put the sandwich in his mouth, then turned to look at Jin: "...'Oram' is a pseudonym?"

He didn't believe that Jin would lie about this kind of thing. The ancient culture and the development of relics were Jin's expertise and something he was proud of.

Jin smiled: "Aurum, in some ancient language that is almost lost now, it means [gold]."

Gee, it's definitely Latin, right?Heather put the sandwich back on the plate, picked up a tissue and wiped his hands: "Then we can really talk, is there a good place?"

"Yes, come with me."

The two left the open-air market auction, turned left and right for about 10 minutes, and came to a secluded alley.

Deng Deng Deng!
Jin knocked three times on the door of a dilapidated house in the alley at different rhythms. After about ten seconds, there was a slow voice: "Bitter night."

"Shamrock."

With a click, there was a sound of the bolt being loosened from behind the door.

Kim pushed open the door and walked in, and Heather followed.

As soon as you enter the door, you can smell a touch of incense. The house is a quaint wooden structure. The crowded furniture and random piles of books make the house seem a little cramped.A short, hunchbacked old lady in a beaded sweater and waistcoat slowly stretched out a finger towards the corner of the corridor: "[Number 14] is empty. Need tea?"

"No, Granny Toroko, we'll take care of it ourselves."

Jin sent the old lady away, and gestured for Heather to follow.As soon as the two walked into the dark and damp corridor, the doors emitting slightly fluorescent lights stood up neatly in the dark, lined up in two rows, as if there was no end in sight.

"Don't touch irrelevant doors."

Jin warned Heather while looking for the door of [No. 14]. There were numbers written on the door, but they were not in order.

"I found it, come." Jin led Heather to open a door with [14] written on it. From the outside, it seemed that the inside of the door was dark.

After entering, Jin closed the door, and at the same time, the room suddenly became brighter.

This is a large lounge, with a warm fire burning in the simple and elegant fireplace, two rows of soft striped sofas and a few cushions are placed near the fireplace, not far from the long table and three A high-back chair, the room is oval in shape as a whole, and most of the walls are chiseled into neat bookshelves, which are filled with all kinds of books.A huge chandelier hangs from the ceiling, and a clock built into the wall hangs directly above the fireplace.

"Mother-in-law Toroko is an old-fashioned person with strong ability to read, and she is a person with the ability to realize the ability of thinking. What you see is her ability [collection of memory stories]."

Jin walked to the bookshelf and started looking for books, and said without looking back: "It's not easy to reveal the details, but she transformed her old house into a unique [Nianwu] with Nian Qi, and there are corresponding books on all continents. The door, as long as she pays for what she needs, she can rent a 'house'. This is the room I often rent here, and it's a good place to read, think, and chat with friends. Ah, I found it."

Heather raised her hand to catch the tossed book, feeling a little heavy.Turning over and looking at the cover of the book, the metal and rivets were fixed on the edge of the cover, and the big [E] occupied the center of the cover——
