Chapter 149: Bidding
On the dark and cold dock, there was silence. The bloody massacre had already passed. All that was left at the scene were corpses on the ground and two corpse dolls standing there, ignoring them.
Dorothy, wearing a purple dress, slowly emerged from the darkness. She looked at the bloody battlefield in front of her with a calm expression in the dim light. Then she controlled the two standing corpses to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils.
"What a greedy person..."
Looking at Harud who had fainted on the ground, Dorothy murmured that before the battle on Knight Road, Dorothy had already used the zombie to secretly monitor the entire battlefield, and of course she also saw those gang thugs who had been plotting in the corner for a long time.
Dorothy learned the specific details of the deal from the gangsters, that their financial sponsor was waiting for them at the dock, and that after they completed the deal, they would leave Igwynte and live at large.
Knowing this information, Dorothy would naturally not let go of this so-called financial sponsor, and it was inevitable that she would reap the benefits.
Although the gangs and nobles who harvested these ordinary people could not obtain any extraordinary materials, they could also obtain other useful things. For example, their guns and ammunition could replenish Dorothy's munitions reserves, their cash could replenish Dorothy's funds, and they themselves could replenish Dorothy's corpse doll reserves.
Whether it is ammunition, funds, or corpses, these are high-consumable items that are as important to Dorothy as spirituality, so naturally the more they are stored, the better.
After a while, Dorothy finished cleaning up the battlefield and counting the spoils. He found nine bodies, a lot of bullets, and 320 pounds in cash. It seemed that the money was originally intended to be used as a reward for the gangsters, but now it all fell into the hands of Dorothy.
"Three hundred pounds is enough to hire a dozen people to kill people. Is this how the world works?"
Looking at the cash she had obtained, Dorothy sighed and said that she would then prepare to load the bodies and other supplies onto the boat and then sail upstream to St. Amanda's School.
For safety reasons, Dorothy's current stock of corpses is stored in a warehouse near the school. This is a place that Dorothy rented from Oldman for more than 20 pounds. It is much safer than the warehouse at the dock.
"Huh... Why don't I have a space ring like other time travelers? It's so inconvenient to always have to find a place to store supplies... Especially corpses, they take up too much space..."
Controlling the corpses on the ground to be loaded onto the ship one by one, Dorothy complained that she had spent a lot of energy on storing supplies. She dreamed of having a space storage device like a quadruple pocket.
Dorothy finally managed to control all the puppets to get on the boat. Just as she was about to let the puppets row the boat and set sail, she narrowed her eyes and stared at the small ferry she used to transport goods.
This ferry had been docked at the pier before. Dorothy used it to load cargo because it was close. The engine and rudder were not locked, and it seemed that it was ready to set sail. Logically speaking, this should be the ship that the financier arranged for the gangsters to evacuate Igwinter.
"It seems... I haven't searched this ship yet..."
Looking at the ferry in front of her, Dorothy thought to herself that she didn't seem to care about this boat when she was cleaning the battlefield. Since they used this boat as a ferry to escape from Igwinter, there might be something on it... Don't let go of even the smallest thing.
Thinking of this, Dorothy began to control the corpse to search the ferry, but apart from finding two buckets of fish, there was no other result. Just when Dorothy was about to give up hope, her corpse found a strange thing in a hidden corner of the bottom cabin of the ferry.
It was a bundle of khaki-colored mice tied together, with wires connected to the head ends of the mice and all the wires extending forward and finally gathered together, finally connected to a suggested mechanical device, which also had a watch installed on it.
Looking at the strange object in front of her through the vision of the corpse doll, Dorothy murmured thoughtfully.
"This is……"
…
As the moon sets, the night fades away.
The morning sun shines on the exquisitely crafted buildings of St. Amanda's School. Countless lifelike and exquisite stone statues in the campus are bathed in the morning light, showing a solemnity and sacredness. The ancient corridors are filled with the voices of students' recitations, and the day's classes begin.
In the spacious studio in the basement of the college, Odeqi, dressed as a janitor, sat on a chair and looked at the guest in front of him with some surprise.
"Today is probably the first time in the past few months that you have arrived at school on time, Miss Meshhouse. Is there anything you are anxious about?"
Looking at the girl sitting on the chair opposite, Odchi said while drinking tea, and Dorothy answered with a smile.
"I have a deal here that will interest you."
"A deal that I would be very interested in? Haha... interesting. To be honest, I haven't come across a deal that piqued my interest for a long time, Miss Meshhos." Odrich said with a smile. He thought Dorothy was joking, and Dorothy responded easily.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down with this trade."
"It seems that you are very confident, Miss Meshhos. Have you figured it out and want to trade the secret behind you? I am really interested in this." Odchi continued, while Dorothy shook her head.
"No, no, no, Mr. Odfitch, what I want to trade is a piece of intelligence?"
"intelligence?"
There was a hint of doubt in Odd's expression, while Dorothy's expression became serious and she continued to speak slowly.
"Mr. Odeki, do you know... a deer skull?"
Hearing Dorothy's words, Odditch's expression froze on his face. He stood there in a daze, motionless, and even his breathing seemed to have stopped, as if he had turned into a stone statue.
This situation lasted for about a few seconds, and then Odki returned to normal. He asked Dorothy as usual.
"I think I really need this information. Please name your price, Miss Meshhaus."
Dorothy paused after hearing what Odditch said, and after hesitating for a moment, she stretched out five fingers.
"Five secret books. If you have an extraordinary item that can store a large number of items, then two secret books plus that extraordinary item."
Dorothy thought she had asked for a high price, then she smiled and sat quietly on a chair waiting for the other party to bargain.
Odqi touched his chin and thought for a while, then opened his mouth to answer.
"Chengdong, I will give you two secret books and an extraordinary item that you want."
After hearing what Odditch said, Dorothy, who was waiting for the other party to bargain, froze her smile on her face.
