Chapter 29: Big Purchase and Moore's News

[Powerful Amulet] is a palm-sized triangular amulet. After reciting the secret words, a triangular energy shield with a side length of about one meter is formed in the air. It can be fully recharged one week after being used once.

This shield has dual resistance capabilities of physical and energy. It can roughly withstand less than 10 AK47 bullets, or withstand two full-strength energy projection attacks from a level 2 transcendent.

[Shelter of the Wind] looks like a specimen of a monster's wings, which was shrunk by unknown means and sealed into amber. The effect is very simple. It is activated with a secret word, which brings a breeze around. The wind will form a certain lifting force, making the person as light as a swallow. It will also form a streamlined wind-breaking shield in front of the person when running. It has no defensive ability, but it will double the person's speed.

The effect lasts for 15 minutes each time it is activated, and it can be fully charged in 3 days.

[Thunder Flash] is a black straight knife, about the length of an arm. The casting material is mixed with some precious magic-breaking metals and the bones of extraordinary creatures of the thunder system. The characteristics are sharp, strong, and the attack is accompanied by lightning energy damage. It can attack intangible creatures such as ghosts. The straight knife comes with a low-key black scabbard.

[Life Potion], the effect is to quickly recover from moderate injuries, and has a certain effect on severe injuries such as disembowelment and internal organ damage. Finally, there is a small note: broken limbs cannot be regenerated.

[Suspended Death Potion], the effect is that after taking it, the person will fall into a state of suspended death for one hour. During this period, the smell of death will permeate the entire body. Humans, beasts and even monsters will regard the person who takes the medicine as a corpse.

Rudy, who had accompanied Luke throughout the entire process and watched him pay the bill, was thrown into confusion, as if he was meeting the young demon hunter for the first time.

Of course, they had only met each other twice.

He followed Luke out of the "department store" in a trance, shook his head, and then he came to his senses.

"You you're not?"

As soon as he asked, he suddenly remembered that when they first met, Luke only said that he was attacked by a monster and thus embarked on the path of a monster hunter.

As for the characters whose families were broken up and who were left alone and helpless, he created them based on the experiences of some of his peers.

Ah, thinking about his own imagination and what he had just said to Luke like a senior, the embarrassment even diluted the shock in Rudy's heart.

I really want to leave! Leave this gathering, even if it means leaving the earth!

Fortunately, everyone was wearing hoods and couldn't see each other's facial expressions.

The three of them walked in silence for a long time, and Luke asked, "Is there anything good to buy at these stalls outside?"

His shopping desire has not yet been fully satisfied.

Rudy now knew that Luke had a small fortune. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"I don't know why, but there is a rule among demon hunters - don't use too many extraordinary items, except for the spoils you get from hunting yourself."

"Besides, the quality of the items on these stalls outside is not guaranteed. If you encounter some evil people, you might even buy cursed items. What you have bought now is enough. The average demon hunter may not have many items at the second level. My advice is to forget it."

That ordinary demon hunter is me.
He said silently in his heart.

I thought about how I have been exorcising demons for four or five years and I am a level 2 transcendent, but my equipment is not as good as that of a newbie who just entered the industry.

It's so bitter.
After listening to Rudy's advice, Luke thought about it and realized that it was true. These things outside all depended on eyesight and experience. If you didn't have enough money, you would easily be taken advantage of.

The three of them resumed their previous rhythm. Natalia continued shopping and bargaining, while Luke and Rudy followed and chatted. "Any news recently? About the extraordinary world?" Luke asked.

"News?" Rudy thought for a moment. "There is indeed one. It has spread all over Florida. You have a Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church here, right?"

News about Moore?
Luke nodded: "Yes, there is such a church."

Rudy lowered his voice and said, "They lost a great man recently. I heard that six clergymen went to raid a cult stronghold, but they were ambushed by the other party instead."

"That guy, luckily the leader was quite capable and managed to bring everyone back. But I heard that most of them were parasitized by evil creatures and their vitality was severely damaged. They need a long time to recover."

"I heard that this incident has alarmed the Southern Baptist Convention's executive committee. I guess they will send a lot of forces to wipe out the entire cult."

"But once you lose face, it's hard to get it back."

The Southern Baptist Convention is the largest Protestant denomination in the United States, and it is also the denomination that Moore belongs to. Rudy is obviously gloating, and it seems that he has a bad relationship with these Christians.

The last time we talked in church, Brother Moore looked full of confidence, as if the cult members were nothing but chickens and dogs and he could defeat them in minutes, but he didn't expect that he would suffer such a big setback.

Hope everyone is ok.
After the explosive news, Natalia's shopping was almost over.

Since they had nothing to buy, the three of them went out together through Entrance No. 5.

Arriving at the parking lot, Luke took out the test tube containing the human-faced dog's eyeballs and said, "What should I do with this thing?"

The eyeballs of the four human-faced dogs had been taken out nearly half a month ago. Luke brought them with him today, but there was no place to use them.

You can't take it home and put it on the table as a decoration. After a long time, your house will be filled with eyeballs, brains, and bones, making it look like an evil wizard. You can tell at a glance that he's a villain and he won't survive more than three episodes.

Natalia, who had been silent beside them, suddenly spoke up: "The human-faced dog is a very magical creature. Although its rank is not high, they generally have a little bit of prophetic power."

"I can try to use the witch array and other materials to maximize the power of prophecy and refine these eyeballs into witchcraft instruments of the prophecy sequence."

"As for the cost." She turned her head and glanced at Rudy, and continued, "It is estimated that it will cost about 50,000 US dollars for other materials, plus my labor cost. Is 70,000 US dollars okay?"

Rudy helped collect these four eyeballs, otherwise they would have rotted and disappeared along with the corpse of the human-faced dog. Luke naturally trusted his companion.

"I'll pay $100,000, jump the queue, and have it made quickly, okay?"

Considering the damage to the Protestant forces in Fort Lauderdale, Luke was worried that the cult members would come to him, after all, he had already ruined their plans twice. Having a prophecy-type magic weapon would at least increase the safety factor a lot.

The poor Rudy team naturally couldn't withstand Luke's bold knife skills. Natalia took the test tube and said that she would start working on it when she got home tonight and try to hand over the finished product to Luke within a week.

With four eyeballs, at least one can be successfully made.
