Master Of None Chapter 192
Advertisement
Walker put on his best smile after hearing the girl use her first sales pitch. He wanted the attention on him and not attracting more customers. "Well I have got to say, you are an excellent sales woman. But i am not sure what you may have that i can use. Your variety is just so large. My girlfriend and I are just too torn, we wish we could buy them all." Walker laughed loudly making sure his show was convincing. Even Su leaned in to him a bit to try and pull off the act. There was still no reaction from the man sitting but the girl seemed to jump on the act full force.
She practically dragged them to a table full of gems and jewelry pushing them to pick up and examine them in different ways. Walker knew they should not touch a single thing or else they would end up with a cursed gear potentially stuck to them for life. There were those that possessed some purification skills but those often required extremely rare items or high amounts of gold to pay the person. Some purification skills were even said to shave away the life of the user to break a curse. "What can you tell me about this blue chain necklace here? It looks foreign I wonder about its history." The girl immediately searched the table for the one Walker was talking about obviously having trouble, He had actually motioned toward a green one but said blue to slow her down.
"Honey you know blue clashes with me gear, what about the maroon one?" Su played along motioning to a pink gem calling it maroon, the girl was slightly panicking not being able to find what they were talking about.
Walker waited a moment looking expectantly which made the girl even more flushed, " Well I'm not sure this girl can help us, she seems not to know what she is even selling. We are better off going elsewhere." Walker started to pull Sui away by the arm which caused a look of sheer terror from the girl. She was staring at the man completely afraid of the consequences of losing the sale.
"Ahh young man, you seem to have asked a question to a novice, let a master help you out." The man's eyes had opened, they were a yellow color that seemed to pierce through the spirit. "So you wished to know the history of the blue and maroon ones? Let me see" The man had stood up a bit too fast for comfort but Walker and u held their ground. Walker could feel Su tensing, waiting to block any potential attacks.

Walker wanted to avoid fighting in such a crowded market, if any magic went awry it could harm or kill someone. Even more so without the guards there they could let the man escape, Walker was also watching the man carefully. He lifted the blue necklace up delicately, "This was made by a traveling gem carver, he spent hours carving every single loop in the chain here. He placed such great care in to his craft he procured the materials through any means. This is definitely a wonderful piece that boasts boosted defense from water elemental oriented attacks." The man placed the necklace down and picked up the one with the pink gem. "This is rather different, the quality of the chain is almost nothing but the pink gem here is only formed under very high temperatures. The adventurer that traveled to obtain this was said to have defeated a whole pride of red mane lions. This gem can improve the strength of the fire elemental magics you may use." The man placed it down in to its place. Walker tried to look pensive as he wanted them so seem like he was unsure of what would be the best to buy.
Taking advantage of his chance to think Walker used his appraisal skill on the man, wanting to know a bit more about what to expect.
' Vincent
Demon
Level 26
Witch doctor system
Loves watching their cursed items cause general mayhem to innocents. His favorite activity is torturing those under them in the demon ranks. Loyally follows the orders of a greater demon. Has experimented with their hex touch ability to curse items, potions, people, and even buildings.'
Walker pretended he was looking at his own stats to decide whether he should purchase one but had actually read the disturbing information in the appraisal. This was the very demon they needed to help the guards capture. Even more one of his favorite pastimes was torturing those under him, this completely explained why the girl with him was so injured. The truly striking part was that this demon's hex touch worked on many things but most importantly potions. They didn't even need to pursue the person who had caused such trouble with poisoned potions since the demon here was most likely the culprit.

Walker was about to ask about another accessory on the table but heard the approach of footsteps. Guards had started a walk down the middle of the road, there were easily forty of them in four lines making way. The girl was visibly agitated by this, however the man seemed completely unfazed choosing instead to smile at the pair waiting for the next question. Walker pretended to get a better look at one of the rings on the table moving himself closer to the girl so that he could pull her away when the guards got close enough. Vincent stayed calm but his eyes told Walker that he was unhappy with the way he had moved.
The guards found them very quickly and moved in to a half circle formation blocking all methods of escape on the ground. "Damn it, Brat use that spell and hide me!" Vincent dropped his calm facade screaming at the girl to use magic. She crouched in terror with her hands out, a wave of light flew from her hands engulfing Vincent. Once the light had faded there was no Vincent in sight. The guards that had mobilized were marching forward to close the gap not at all relaxing since their target had just vanished. There was a slight jungle from the farthest table that caught Walkers attention, It had also caught Gil's eye.
An arrow appeared out of nowhere stuck in the air, drops of red blood dripped from it along with the sounds of grunting. The arrow had struck someone they couldn't see! The spell the girl had just used bent the light around Vincent making him invisible. With the damage the spell began to fade exposing the extremely angry Vincent.
"You worthless brats, how dare you harm me!" Vincent jumped forward to grab a hold of Walker trying to land his hex touch skill on him, however Su was there with her shield already. Vincent's hand landed on her shield completely. There was a dark puff of smoke as a strange pattern formed on the shield. "Worthless girl, out of my way" Vincent kicked Su's shield away trying to get by, his anger clouding his vision. To everyone's surprise Su's shield crumpled like rusted metal. The shield that had protected her for so long was nothing but dust, Walker could only pray that Vincent didn't use any more curses on them. If one were to land on their body the results could be horrendous. Luckily when Vincent was about to push past Su and touch her a vicious growl came from behind him. Midnight had snuck up and was already rending her claws across his back.
"Onyx do not touch him, Midnight retreat, if he touches you he can curse you." The headed Walkers words and retreated, Onyx had just been about to use his bind skill to trap Vincent. With his turban sliced and his clothing as well two black horns were visible on his head. They may have been small but showed his race clearly. His back there was a bat like wing under his clothing that had been covered with bandages in an attempt to hide them. He could not deny he was a demon nor could he escape at the moment.
More guards with wings seemed to be filling the air above having taken more time to arrive. Remey was sprinting up behind the gorilla like guards, she had a worried expression on her face but seeing that all the help she had notified had already arrived she held a victorious pose.
Walker pulled his staff from his inventory while Su backed away pulling the girl with her. "The system was notifying him that they had shut down the sale of the cursed items due to the guards appearance and their evacuation of the citizens. Walker was now waiting for the system to notify him that the girl was safe, Su just needed to get her behind the guards. "How dare you ruin my fun! My lord sent me to do a job and i swore I would complete it even at the cost of my Life!"
