章 210: Sixty-seven. Going Home

No one knew who the merchant was—to an exorcist who harbored no grand ambitions and saw their duty merely as a job.

Take Hades, for example.

Nevertheless, the mystique surrounding the merchants was real. They mostly wore filthy cloaks, carried old, heavy backpacks, and wore tattered scarves that hid their faces, all the while remaining quiet and reserved.

They would take the initiative to visit the famous exorcists, bringing goods, but the content of the trades was not limited to the items in their backpacks. Obscure and hidden intelligence, bartering items, odd trinkets—all were within the scope of trading.

Spirit-Calling Guns, silver-plated bullets, and Illusion-Breaking Candles were the items Hades most often bought.

It was rare to hear them say, "I can't do this, choose another."

As long as they accepted a trade, they would bring the desired item during their next visit.
