Chapter 19 Help me pick up something
Tu Xing pointed his finger at the wooden board and said, "Perhaps it was developed just to change other people's luck."
Amina looked up. "You wouldn't, would you?"
The young man smiled and said, "Of course I wouldn't do that without the other party's permission. Sometimes, in order to accomplish something, members of a team will be inseparable."
As if passing some kind of moral test, the woman pulled a booklet from her pocket, laid it flat on the table, and pushed it forward.
"Here are some records you might find useful to help you quickly understand the power of the palace. In exchange, I want you to help me pick up something."
Tu Xing blinked, not expecting to get something in the end today. Curiously, he asked, "What is it?"
"A bottle of magic potion, in His Majesty's treasury. It's shaped like this and is about ten centimeters tall."
As she spoke, Amina opened the booklet that had been pushed forward, revealing a single sheet of paper tucked inside.
Colored pencil lines, the base of the jar is relatively flat, filled with bright green liquid, and the lid occupies half the height, like the top of a castle, with a light gold color and exquisite workmanship.
Tu Xing scanned the entire paper and found no relevant description. He couldn't help but ask, "What kind of potion is this?"
Amina seemed a little embarrassed: "Youth is eternal."
Hearing this, Tu Xing suddenly recalled that this person had mentioned this morning: "...Remember to leave me some of the beauty products."
Have you already had a clear goal?!
But how did she know the purpose and that the thing was in the palace?
According to Tu Xing's usual style, he would have finished reading the booklet before asking this question. He was thinking back with his pocket watch in his mind, and asked the question in advance as soon as he had an idea.
"How did you know about this potion? Have you used it?"
Amina's face puffed up. "It was originally ours, passed down from our ancestors. The magic liquid inside lasted for a hundred years without decaying. But it was forcibly taken away. After years of circulating it around, we finally found out where it was."
Hearing this, Tu Xing's eyes lit up, "So you know magic?"
Amina shook her head. "No, my family suddenly fell into poverty, and I only found out it was because the magical treasure was stolen. It was originally from my grandfather. I'm the youngest of many children, so I didn't know about this before."
Hearing this, Tu Xing seemed to be lost in thought. He put the colored pencil drawing aside and roughly flipped through the pages of the booklet.
There are only three pages, with small colored pencil portraits on both sides, both men and women, with names and identities. A quick glance shows that they are all people with official positions.
Tu Xing's thoughts were scattered. He was really lucky today. Everything he needed came to him. It was so smooth that it was unbelievable, as if there was a hand pushing him forward from behind.
However, the more this happened, the more cautious he became.
Calculating the time, "Try the small transfer magic first."
This obviously made Amina think he was not interested. "Hey! I went to ask for it specially, because I thought you could do something big, and this is your reaction?"
Tu Xing said helplessly, "I have one night to read the booklet slowly. If I try the transfer magic too late, will you still stay here when it gets dark?"
He indicated with his eyes that it was almost dusk outside.
"Oh - I'll be there right away." Amina immediately became more efficient.
The young man had a feeling that five minutes had passed, so he waited quietly with a focused gaze.
The woman touched her face with awareness, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face..."
The light and shadow gradually faded, mainly Amina, while the color in the background remained the same.
Two seconds later, there was no one in front of him, and the two pocket watches and several other items that he had put into his bag were spread out on the table.
Tu Xing looked outside and saw two men in short-sleeved shirts walking to the middle, their movements looking familiar.
He withdrew his gaze, his heart burning with excitement. He succeeded!
There are still some things that need to be tested slowly, such as: sequelae, how many times it can be used in a day, etc.
He couldn't help but pick up the pocket watch, pinching it between his fingertips and examining it from left to right, but there was no change.
This is predicting the future! It must be properly stored, and it needs a hard-shell box. Tu Xing held his forehead and went back and forth to buy it several times.
Finally, they were all placed in the flat box. The pocket watch was just the right thickness, and the other papers needed to be folded down. The magnet was placed separately in a small bag and tied to the bag chain.
Before Amina comes, slowly think about the pattern.
He moves five minutes into the future, and the time he is in should remain unchanged. The subsequent events should happen normally, and when the five minutes are up, he returns to the moment when the clock was adjusted.
This is really useful, as it means you have the opportunity to go back and start over, especially when facing the tyrant Sultan with supreme power.
When there was a knock on the door, "Cyril, it's me, Amina..." the tone was exactly the same.
The young man collected the items on the table again, keeping only the transfer paper.
Following the repetition of what happened before, this time he urged very early: "Mix first."
Amina scratched her head: "Oh okay."
After two minutes, the ink was mixed. Tu Xing picked up the pen, thought for a moment, and handed it to the other party: "Would you like to try it?"
"I'm going to see Xilin tomorrow. If anything goes wrong, it'll be disastrous. Even my entry into the palace will be ruined. Our plans will be ruined. At least I have to enter the palace smoothly and get a status."
After hearing this, Amina thought it made sense and said simply, "Then I'll try it."
She took the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the wooden board.
After finishing, she looked up with a puzzled look: "Is this the end? I don't feel anything."
Tu Xing smiled and said, "It should be. Put it away and keep it with you for now. Let's study your eternal youth."
Amina smiled and said, "Okay, take a look at the atlas first. If you want to move up in the ranks, knowing this information will be very helpful to you."
"By the way, do you have any idea of forming your own power?"
Tu Xing slowly turned the pages. Since the task was expected to be completed within seven days, it was not necessary to stay here for the rest of the task, so he might as well listen to more options.
He was very nonchalant, "How come?"
Amina: "It's a pity you don't know magic yet, otherwise you could go to the neighboring vassal state and become a priest or something."
"Anyway, if you really want to develop in this direction in the future, then privately and implicitly expressing your position will be justified. No one will go to the neighboring country to investigate your birthplace."
Hearing this, Tu Xing smiled at her and said, "That's a good idea. We'll do it later depending on the situation."
Amina nodded. "You can keep these things with you. Just be careful not to let anyone see them."
She hesitated for a moment. "You took my character book, so will you look for that bottle of magic water?"
Tu Xing: "Of course I will look for it, but the possibility of successfully retrieving it is extremely small. Do you still want to exchange with me?"
Amina: "That's fine. Just look for it normally. If you find it, you'll get a reward."
After a pause, he said, "I have to see Shilin tomorrow morning, so go to bed early."
Tu Xing said sincerely: "Okay, thank you."
…
The next morning, Tu Xing put on his clothes, adjusted his collar, packed up everything, and walked out the door.
On the left, a young man was waiting early, still wearing a black and yellow linen robe. "Please come this way."
Go all the way from the hotel to the large trading market next door, and enter through the small door to the fifth floor.
