Like the last time, the detention center's visiting room was a dim, dull, shady room.
So relative to the Nicks is Leon, the black-haired tiger man.
Leon looked surprised with a pinch of what was placed in front of him.
"If you're bringing it to a place like this, it's common sense to make it a little more sunny."
"If you don't want it, I'll take it home."
"I know nobody said I didn't need it...... shit"
Leon cheeked the bun Nick gave him.
The flour skins have finely chopped citrus skins and are refreshingly sour. It contains a heavy cream with egg yolks, sugar and milk, which goes well with light skins. Karan recently recommended it to be a popular treat, so Nick bought it without getting lost. But now Nick just regretted it a little bit, "I'm glad it's cheaper," he said.
It's not delicious.
Karan smiles proudly in a pompous grunt.
It was Karan who chose confectionery. It looks like a new product was recently sold by a bakery near 'Fishermen' and Karan wanted to like it.
"Do you have any cigarettes?
"Hey."
"Shh... That's good. Tobacco and booze are still intolerable. But you can't have something sweet. I haven't liked or disliked confectionery since I was a kid, but when I'm in a place like this, there's a moment when I want to eat it fiercely. You see?"
I don't want to know.
"I guess. Oh, yeah. They're gonna have my trial next month or so. Looks like we're still adjusting for the official day."
"Don't say that like some other HR."
"I can't do it if I don't think so. Damn, you can have the accumulated magic equipment. He wants to open an auction and use it for compensation."
Sprinkle on the back of the chair as Leon sighs aloud.
"Were you snuggling up?
"My specialty is magic guides and artifacts. Fraud is a side business."
"You're getting caught just dressed like that."
"You caught me... So what can I do for you?"
"One first. The other day, we're done talking, aren't we? Carios is a man's story."
"I don't mind... but one thing means there's something else, right?
"I want to talk to you about the bounty neck we're chasing right now."
"Hmmm...... I don't mind."
"Talk about Carios later, Liang Yi. Let's talk about work first."
Nick turns to the words of Karan in surprise.
"Is that good?
"Time is limited, Lo. I can't rush the eagle."
"... ok. Bye."
So Nick caught up with Stepping Man.
At first it was Leon, who had asked me not to be interested, but I glanced at Nick when I heard him explain that he was "using magic tools that hide signs or make him unable to remember his face".
"... that's why Leon. Do you have any idea of any magic tricks to mislead the signs or the person?
Leon is meditating his eyes with his face open.
I don't even answer Nick silently.
"Oi."
Karan, who cut the paralysis, makes a sharp voice.
Leon opened his eyes in no hurry.
I'm sorry, I was thinking.
"You..."
"You're a Phantom King jewel. Precisely, it's a magic guide that uses it."
"Huh?"
Suddenly a specific word came out and Nick ate and a dumb voice leaked.
"In ancient times, Phantoms - there were species that didn't have flesh like ghosts. I don't even know the details, but it seems they exist only in the exchange of information like communication jewels and Shinxin jewels."
"... what the hell?
"That's why you're telling me I don't know much either. Anyway, they seemed to have strong powers to interfere with human perception. The treasure they created is the Phantom King's treasure."
"So you're saying you're deceiving signs and faces?
"... it's a guess, but it's narrowing it down to the function of" making certain sorceries easy to use "by incorporating a device to control them. A magic guide representing a species like the Phantom King Jewel is generally characterized as" amplifying the characteristics of a race "or" other species will be able to use the stunts of that race ". It's hard to control freely, instead of having a wide range of applications."
"Are there no weaknesses?
"Weaknesses, hey..."
Leon smiled meaningfully.
"You say you know. What do you want?"
Nick figured he was going to pluck the reward high anyway.
But the words out of Leon's mouth were unexpected.
"Bun me the Phantom King jewels."
"I can't plug in demonic props, and I'm not going to do it even if I could. Are you going to break out of jail?
"You're not. If you want to seal it somewhere like an evolutionary sword, if you want to sell it to a certain identity, do a beautiful ending. Don't do anything that flows to the merchant behind you."
Nick felt a calm voice.
Perhaps it's more of an act to behave normally.
"And tell me what route you got it from."
"I don't mind... why not?
"The Phantom King Jewel was found by my brother."
Leon was nagging, but looking away somewhere.
"It's one of those artifacts where my brother died and I don't know where he is anymore. By the time I started looking, the clues were already gone."
"... right"
Nick had a rough idea of Leon's profile. Because he was testifying as a victim of Leon to the solar knights' investigation, he knows that Leon lost his brother and companions in the process, and that he was originally an adventurer specializing in excavating artifacts and ruins. I guess I have complicated thoughts. Nick said no words of sympathy, no words of derision, just silence.
For a while, the silence lasted, but Leon put the sweets in his mouth. She grabbed it with a bitter face because it was an elegant sweet treat.
"... bring cigarettes the next time you come. Yeah, it's the guy wrapped in paper. Then give me about ten boxes of matches."
"No."
"Huh? Why not?"
"It's forbidden to bring in alcohol, tobacco, narcotic leaves, medicines that aren't licensed by the doctors here. I can't do this all by giving you my sleeve, so give it up."
"Shit, that's a pinch. There are no brokers or procurers..."
To Leon's stupidity, Nick had somewhere to catch on.
"... Is there such a broker as a magic guide? Like buying or selling stolen or excavated goods."
"Stay."
Leon nodded forcefully.
"A collector's nobleman or a rich and twisted kind of guy hears from somewhere. But the most troublesome thing is the back-run people. There are bandits, bounty necks, or people who do business with nobles and knights."
"You don't know anyone or anything?
"What are you, even if you want to sell it away? You don't want anything, do you?
"No. I have something I want to take back"
Stolen goods.
It wasn't Nick who answered the question.
"... Dragon King Treasure"
Karan muttered in an unusual, unusual and chilling voice.
Leon takes a good look at Karan's face.
But I immediately turned my gaze back to Nick.
"Dragon King treasures aren't that rare. Whatever the jewels of the extinct species, the dragons are at least alive. Besides, many people can make jewels because they are divided into several clans, such as the fire dragon system and the water dragon system. So it's not a rare value to determine the value of Dragon King's treasure. It's the quality of the gem and the power that's hidden there. How's it going there?"
"The chief has spent several years on a ruby about the size of a strawberry to help."
"... it would be the finest thing to think about in modern times. You can't afford a million or two."
Leon shrugged like he was stunned.
"How can I find you?
"When it comes to that many delicacies, don't be limited to sellers and buyers... Suddenly I won't be buying or selling with instant money. I think we'll put it out for auction."
"Auction?
"I have an auction for everything, whether it's stolen or stolen. They change places every time, and I don't know when or where."
"You've never been in?
"No. It was the rule for the seller to leave it all to the operation and only receive the money. I can't participate as a guest with a lot of identities and references. One of these days I was going to load up some money on a poor nobleman and just get an identity..."
This Zama, Leon spread his hand to show off the room.
"It's the northern tobacconist that's partitioning the listings from the labyrinth city. If you say you are looking for Kirin's flue pipe, you will be sent to a stolen goods store. That's where you hear the details."
"... could a guy named Carios have been a broker there too?
To Nick's inquiry, Leon shook his head sideways.
"Maybe not. I'm not some kind of labyrinth city broker. There's bigger guys in the back."
"Big guy...?
"Various brokers were in contact when [the Silver Tigers] were excavating artifacts, but Carios was a strange guy. Even a licking bastard with a pseudonym was afraid of all the brokers in the Labyrinth City. I didn't thank you for your status and position. I was seriously freaking out."
"Then who are you...?
"I don't know. Both brokers are limited to freaking out. Big bandits or around the militants of the Temple of Virgini...... But don't get involved if there's a man with a pseudonym who scares even the broker of darkness. You have to want to be like me."
"You can't stay out of this. He took the Dragon King's treasure."
"Well... here we go again."
The frightening words were directed at Karan.
Nick looks at Karan worried.
But Karan didn't even try to say anything.
He put his arms together and kept quiet to chew Leon's words.
"Anyway, the information is helpful"
"Do your best."
"Oh."
"... Shit, isn't it already?"
Leon sneezed and gripped the bun wrapper and threw it on the floor when it looked like it.
"Bad Behavior Zo"
"That's good. Nothing's rolling. It's a landscape room."
Leon laughs naggingly at Karan's words.
"Don't make fun of me."
"Oh.... hey, speaking of which, you've got a story flying. Uh, we haven't talked about the weakness of Phantom King Jewels yet."
"Right. Let me hear that one last time."
"It's not that hard to break the magic of the illusion system."
That's what Leon said, putting up two fingers.
"One is to use medicinal herbs and healing magic that encourage awakening. But only a limited number of people can use special healing magic, and the medicine can be used many times over a short period of time to make the body tolerant. I don't think I can count on much."
"... Is there anything else?
"The easiest and surest thing to do is to break through your fantasies. If you've bent the perception, you can get it right back. For example, yes..."
And Nick opened his eyes to surprise at the concrete way to deal with it from Leon's mouth.
"... is that good enough"
