At the woman’s signal, a woman with lingering charm in a black skirt uniform set approached from not far away.
Leonard Churchill did not reveal any surprise.
After the previous conversation about the arrest warrant, this woman had been watching them for a while, and he had guessed that she was a professional information merchant.
Leonard was also interested in hearing how the intelligence of these professional merchants differed from that of others.
The woman in the black skirt sat down on the sofa with a beaming smile.
Leonard was courteous, he raised his hand to order a drink, and got straight to the point, “How much for the information about those people on the wanted list?”
The woman in the black skirt didn’t beat around the bush, she smiled and asked, “Which one are you interested in? If you want all of them, it might take some time.”
She raised a finger as she spoke.
Leonard raised his eyebrows at her but did not say anything.
Thinking he hesitated because he considered the price too high, the woman in the black skirt laughed and explained, “You should trust ‘Sister Bonny of Downing Street’. I assure my information is worth the price.”
That also meant the money had to be paid first.
It wasn’t that Leonard thought it was expensive.
He was wondering if she was an Old Days Believer.
She didn’t seem to be.
He had indeed heard of the name ‘Sister Bonny of Downing Street’. These professional information merchants would not ruin their own reputation.
Instead, he felt the more expensive it was, the more valuable it was.
He was also curious about what kind of information was worth ten thousand.
Leonard took out a stack of money, “Let’s hear it.”
Sister Bonny didn’t dilly-dally. She gestured towards the arrest warrant list and started sharing. “The least is known about that leader, other than the combat process basically nothing else is known. But the day before yesterday they had a confrontation with one of the third-tier leaders of the Golden Oak in the West City District. They used seven techniques in total. All of them were of spirit type and they didn’t use any cards, so it should be divine magic. The first one was something similar to ‘visual shielding’, many people didn’t see her on the streets; the second one was a large scale illusionary tactic…”
Once she started, Leonard knew his money was well spent.
These information merchants have their own channels and they have information that’s even more accurate than any other force in the city.
These tactical schemes are priceless if you encounter the right person.
For example, when Leonard encountered Plague Doctor Hensen before, had he known about the fool’s bizarre healing ability beforehand, the outcome would have been completely different.
It’s not a matter of whether he could have been killed or not.
At least he would have definitely avoided the cut on his leg.
Sister Bonny continued, “The hunchback’s technique was very strange, it is suspected to be the upgraded profession Grave Digger of the 9th path of destruction, the Nine of Clubs – Ghost Speaker. There were a lot of summoned undead, including zombies, ghouls and evil spirits. It was extremely difficult to deal with, especially when playing one against many. Plus, he himself can transform into a zombie, immune to weapons. This guy singlehandedly resisted a team of dozens led by a third tier law enforcer in North City, and retreated entirely without damage…”
Leonard listened with a slightly contracted gaze.
As expected, the deacons of the Silver Moon Sect are trickier than one another.
The nun by his side acted as if she was not hearing any of their conversation, she kept pouring wine for them and even helped Leonard massage his fatigue away.
Before long, the topic shifted to the ‘Lone Wolf’ Baron.
Sister Bonny had very detailed intelligence on him.
But Leonard had witnessed Baron’s techniques firsthand, so he did not hear much unexpected information.
It was just that according to the battle two days ago, that guy seemed to have become much stronger.
Leonard took the opportunity to ask, “Baron is only first tier, why is he so strong? Even a few second tiers couldn’t stop him?”
They say that he’s a Beast Walker, but a normal Beast Walker is good if he has 20% of his combat ability.
This guy is unusually strong.
There must be something special about him.
Hearing the question, Sister Bonny smiled, “This is additional information-”
Leonard immediately understood, this was going to cost extra.
He had no objections.
After receiving the money, Sister Bonny continued, “Many people are not clear about why Baron is so strong, but coincidentally, I am one of the very few people in the Sinless City who really know what’s going on.”
The moment she opened her mouth, she aroused great curiosity.
Leonard looked at her with an expression of interest, “Oh?”
She continued, “Because the profession card that Baron merged with when he took his second-tier profession, was the ‘Cursed Spades 4’ that appeared in Sinless City thirty years ago.”
Leonard raised his eyebrows.
It seemed to involve some old history of Sinless City.
Sister Bonny did not beat around the bush anymore, she went straight to the point, “Thirty years ago, there was a card making grandmaster in Sinless City who seemed to draw inspiration from the ancient demon secret skill, wishing to gain stronger combat power by letting Beast Walkers revert to their ancestry through transformation. That’s when the ‘Cursed Spades 4’ card was born.”
After taking a breath, she continued, “Almost no one knows the exact principle behind this card. But the result is, it’s the only Silver Profession Card on the market that is called ‘gold which isn’t gold’. It’s said that the conditions to merge with it are very harsh. But once successful, the merging curse card master’s flesh and blood would grow to a limit and his transformed strength would be more than five times that of a normal Beast Walker. The better the main material, the higher the reversion, and the amplification of this effect can be significantly higher.”
“At least five times the limit?”
By the time Leonard got here, he was already amazed.
What does this mean?
A Beast Walker’s strength after transformation is already 2-3 times the original.
If they have a slightly better main material, like Baron’s King Kong Magic Monkey, the attribute after transformation is already at the pinnacle of the same tier.
On top of this, it could increase more than five times…
It was probably at the level of a regular second tier warrior profession..
