Chapter 52: Chapter 37 Mysterious Shop in the Black Market_3

Translator: 549690339

If the shopkeeper really was all talk, Leonard Churchill wanted to see for himself what kind of tricks he could pull out of his hat.

“???”

Upon hearing Leonard Churchill’s request, the shopkeeper changed his previously dismissive attitude.

So, they weren’t your average client after all...

Anyone who needed such mysterious techniques must be of a special profession.

The shopkeeper didn’t intend to invade his customer’s privacy—a cardinal sin in the Black Market. After a moment of contemplation, he said, “I might just have the breathing method you’re looking for...”

Leonard Churchill was taken aback. It actually existed?

The shopkeeper continued, “I happen to have a fragment of a breathing technique. I don’t know its name, but it allows you to absorb at least seven different elements. The price, however, is a bit steep.”

He held up three fingers.

Leonard Churchill ventured a guess, “Three million?”

Considering the shopkeeper had described it as ‘a bit steep’, it wasn’t going to be thirty thousand or three hundred thousand.

Upon hearing the price, it seemed to him like a trick.

The Silver Breathing Method was only a hundred thousand, why was this unknown method three times the cost?

The more mystical they made it sound, the less credible it seemed.

The shopkeeper didn’t respond. His eyes had a cunning look, and he said, “According to an appraiser, it might be a golden-quality breathing technique, possibly once used by ancient demons. Despite being only a fragment, it could theoretically boost curse power levels to that of a regular person’s ninth level when one reaches the sixth level. Given the circumstances, I don’t think the price is high. I am only mentioning this because of who referred you to me, or else I wouldn’t even bring it up.”

Leonard Churchill’s expression didn’t change, even though he was suspicious as he was penniless and not prepared to believe so easily.

Before he could even conclude that the shopkeeper was a deceiver, the shopkeeper suddenly presented a small booklet.

Furthermore, he added, “This secret knowledge comes from a sensitive source. You should know who it’s from. So, even if someone has learned this, it’s best not to let outsiders know.”

Leonard Churchill didn’t have a clue!

Otherwise, the consequences would be severe.

After flipping through a couple more pages, Leonard Churchill closed the book. Although he had a photographic memory and could have secretly read the book if the shopkeeper didn’t mind, it was not his intention to take advantage of others this way.

When people treat you with sincerity, it’s only right to return the favor.

Leonard Churchill was able to see this secret knowledge because of ‘Seven Brown’s’ good graces. If he went ahead and took advantage, that would just be low.

But he truly was broke.

After this moment, he did not question the ‘three million’ price tag anymore.

Instead, he felt that it was lower than the market price!

The shopkeeper had only asked for one and a half million for the Storm Breathing Method, and even though that was the market price, theoretically it should be more expensive as it is hard to find.

In this light, the golden fragment seemed like a good deal.

Moreover, for those who have compatible constitutions, this breathing method would be priceless.

Leonard Churchill could already envision a future where his breathing method would increase his efficiency by n-fold...

But he really didn’t have the money.

The only valuable thing he had was the Blackwater Mercenary Group card, but even that was only worth a couple hundred thousand at most.

The Gambler Dog’s Secondary Mutated Heart was a valuable item indeed, but pulling something like that out would reveal his identity!

At this moment, Leonard Churchill was in a bit of a dilemma.

The shopkeeper could not get a read on what his guest was thinking.

Just as Leonard Churchill was contemplating ways to raise money or whether to risk selling some of his belongings, his face suddenly changed.

Enlightenment Display: “Exemption from Mysterious Type Techniques.”

He immediately realized, someone just used a mysterious technique similar to divination.

He was being watched!
