Amid the steam of the industrial revolution, mysteries surge beneath the surface. Cults and secret societies seek the extraordinary in the shadows, while hidden gods gaze upon humanity from the hea...
Chapter 40 Direction
Looking at the letter in front of her, Dorothy was a little excited for a moment, but after she thought about what Aldridge had just said, she felt a little confused.
'What's this drug identification thing again... I've never felt it before but a lot of people are quite interested in it. Should I take this opportunity to ask?'
Dorothy thought so, then organized her words and continued to speak.
Qianxun:"Free,.Novel Skirt2;,5;"?:5?5:9"?5"3,0,:!:0 "First of all, I have another question I want to ask you. What do you understand about 'poison identification'?" Dorothy said, and she tried her best to show that she was not completely ignorant of poison identification in her words.
"As for the understanding of poison identification...ha, Miss Meshhos, this thing is not something that can be understood." After listening to Dorothy's words, Aldridge laughed and then said, "Hey." Dorothy was stunned after hearing his words.
"Can't understand? Why?"
"Because... 3 pounds for consulting fee..." Aldridge weighed his hands and said, seeing his expression, Dorothy looked indifferent, then she returned 3 pounds from the 20 pounds she had just taken. After receiving the money, Aldridge spoke again.
"Because no one can understand poison knowledge, it has existed since ancient times and exists in all knowledge, especially in mysterious knowledge. The more profound the mysterious poison knowledge is, the more terrifying it is. Any extraordinary person who wants to learn mysterious knowledge must undergo the torture and test of poison knowledge. If one practices mysterious knowledge but cannot withstand the poison knowledge, the least he will go crazy, the next he will die, and the worst he will be controlled. Poison knowledge is a threshold in front of all mysterious explorers and a serious obstacle for extraordinary people to climb up along the path."
As he spoke, Aldridge's expression became serious.
"Many people have done research on poison recognition, but in the end, no one has achieved any results. No one knows what it is or why it exists. We only know its phenomenon but cannot understand its essence. We can only resist it with experience. This is the poison of knowledge. If anyone in this world can understand the essence of poison recognition, it is probably only God...
"As for identifying poisons, I... and even most extraordinary people only know this much. This information is not worth much, so I will take this from you. Finally, I will warn you, Miss Meshhos, that when reading the mystery, you must be well prepared. I think you should have the corresponding methods."
Dorothy was slightly stunned after listening to Aldridge's words, then nodded silently.
"Knowledge poison... the poison that exists in knowledge, its nature is unclear and its true nature is unknown, but is it indeed an obstacle for all extraordinary people to climb up?"
…
The streets of Igwynt were brightly lit at night. The street lamps on both sides of the street were all on. Many shops on both sides of the street were still open, and there were still pedestrians walking on the sidewalks. Although it was not as prosperous as the city at night in Dorothy's previous life, it was much better than Vukan.
There were carriages coming and going on the street, and Dorothy was riding in one of them.
After saying goodbye to Aldridge, Dorothy prepared to go home, but then she found that there was no carriage outside for her to go home. Just when Dorothy was thinking about whether to use the corpse ring to control a dead horse to ride back, Aldridge appeared in time and enthusiastically offered Dorothy the school carriage.
Then she charged Doro 10 coins, which was nearly 10 times more expensive than a normal taxi fare.
"This guy is essentially a businessman. He can make such a small amount of money. What kind of craftsman is he?"
Sitting in the carriage, Dorothy folded her arms and couldn't help thinking depressedly. Aldridge's sudden burst of charging items really made her depressed.
However, in a sense, this is also a manifestation of his compliance with the rules, but it is not all bad. For example, before Dorothy left, Aldridge promised not to disclose his information, no matter whether the other party is the Security Bureau or the Red Communion.
"Don't worry, Miss Meshhos. Since we have done several business deals, you are a client of our Craftsmen's Association. According to the rules, I will never sell out any client information."
Dorothy thought back to what Aldridge had said, and thought that if the other party really kept the secret as she said, then she would feel more at ease.
The people from the Red Communion were defeated this time, but no one returned alive. As a result, the Communion would not know the extraordinary information about Dorothea Meschos. They would only attribute the defeat to the intervention of Gray Hill, thinking that their subordinates accidentally alarmed Gray Hill.
"I can't be passive like this any longer. Once I'm promoted, I can start to take the initiative to fight back. But then again, how did those guys in the Holy Communion know so much about me? Last time they knew my schedule, and this time they knew which school I went to... I feel like there's something wrong..."
With all kinds of doubts, Dorothy continued to sit in the carriage and move forward. Soon the carriage drove onto Nanyang Road and stopped in front of the apartment building where Dorothy lived.
After saying goodbye to the school coachman, Dorothy went upstairs with her schoolbag as usual. When she opened the door, she saw Greg putting on his coat.
"Oh... God bless you, you are finally back Dorothy, I thought you had an accident, you are not usually home so late." Looking at Dorothy at the door, Greg said with relief, while Dorothy shrugged and spoke easily.
"Don't worry, Greg. I just consulted with the teacher about my study problems at school. That's why I came back so late. You know, girls can't attend evening classes, so there is always a gap in grades between us and boys. Since there is a teacher willing to tutor me after class, I must cherish the opportunity."
Dorothy said with a smile. Hearing his sister's words, Greg couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said happily.
"After-school tutoring? That's great. He's such a kind teacher. If your grades can really improve because of this, you must thank him very much. I'll buy him some gifts one day and you can give them to him."
"No need for gifts... The money I got from him is enough to cover ten years of tuition..."
Dorothy secretly complained in her heart, then went in and put her things away, and then had dinner with Greg. During this process, Dorothy suddenly had an idea and asked Greg.
"By the way, Greg, do you need to register your family's information when you work in the company?"
"Family information...well...because the work we do is somewhat dangerous, we need to contact family members if anything goes wrong, so family information needs to be registered." Gregor thought of an excuse and then said to Dorothy, as a member of the Security Bureau, family review is absolutely necessary.
"I see...So Greg, do you need to explain your leave to the company?"
"Of course, otherwise why would they approve your leave?" Greg said as a matter of course, and then said to Dorothy with some doubt.
"Why are you asking these questions all of a sudden?"
"Ah, nothing. I just want to learn about the various companies in Igwin in advance to prepare for employment after graduation." Dorothy talked nonsense, but Gregor became unexpectedly serious after listening to Dorothy's nonsense.
"After graduation... I'm telling you, Dorothy. I've told you before that you shouldn't think about a job like mine. In my opinion, it would be a good idea for you to be a lawyer in the future. You may not know that nowadays, even rich people cannot do without lawyers. This profession is very popular! Otherwise, you can also take the civil service exam. The civil servants in Igwinter are also very good. I have come into contact with some of them because of my work..."
From then on, the dinner time turned into a time for Greg to give Dorothy career guidance. Dorothy listened to Greg's nagging patiently for a long time with her mouth twitching slightly. After finishing her meal, she quickly left as if escaping.
Dorothy walked into her room carrying her schoolbag and immediately locked the door. She turned on the desk lamp, took out an envelope from her schoolbag, and sat down at the desk.
"My career direction has already been determined..."
Looking at the envelope in her hand, Dorothy murmured softly.
