Chapter 73 Transaction
In the carriage, Dorothy, who had just eavesdropped on the conversation between Brandon and Buck and obtained important intelligence, was sitting in the carriage and thinking about the information.
It is obvious that this time the Holy Communion wants to have the best of both worlds. In the name of the "mysterious society", they lure out the hunter team of the Security Bureau, creating conditions for the traitor to steal things, and at the same time they can ambush the hunter team and severely damage them. As long as this is done properly, it is even possible to put the blame on the "mysterious society" when avenging Albert, which will hinder Dorothy's subsequent actions.
Dorothy had to admit that the Holy Communion Society had a very clever idea this time, but as far as Dorothy herself was concerned, she didn't have to worry about the hunter team and could just focus on intercepting Brandon. The losses suffered by the hunters had nothing to do with her. Even if Gregor was ambushed, the Holy Communion Society would most likely spare Gregor's life in order to be able to corrupt him as the new traitor after Brandon.
So... the safest way is for Dorothy to just focus on intercepting the enemy. She can ignore the Seekers and make sure she wins. Even if the Seekers are ambushed and the Security Bureau's attitude towards the so-called "mysterious society" changes due to suspicion, it will not affect her for a while... However, if Dorothy's character is to prioritize safety in everything, she would not have done things like launching a surprise attack on Burton right after her promotion and taking risks by pretending to be corrupted.
"Huh... They seem unhappy if I leave this group of enemies alone." Dorothy said with a long sigh. Now she has decided that in the next action, she will not just intercept them... She has decided to help a group of hunter teams.
However, the question now is how to help... Now I don’t even know the ambush point of the opposite side. Buck can’t reveal this information that has nothing to do with him to Brandon.
"Forget it. It's getting late. We should go home now. Let's get home before Greg goes crazy. Then lie in bed and slowly think of a solution."
With a thought in mind, Dorothy woke up the corpse of the coachman who seemed to be sleeping leaning against the carriage, then slowly drove the carriage away and headed back home.
…
The next day, St. Amanda's School, western suburb of Igwynte.
In the morning, dust was flying in the basement of St. Amanda's School. Dorothy walked into the basement by the stairs, holding an apron tied on her head as a dust mask, and saw Odditch working on a new round of carving works in the basement.
"Oh... it's Miss Meschos. Did you bring any new business this time?" Seeing Dorothy walking into his studio, Odditch stopped the carving knife in his hand, put the tools in his hand on the table and said humorously.
"Let me guess, is it the confidential problem consultation department? Or the year-round leave service?"
"You are still joking."
Dorothy thought of this without any hesitation, and then asked directly.
"Do you have a store of the spirituality of 'lamp' here?"
"'Lamps'? There are more of these things in the church. I also do business with the church, so I have some stock, but not too much. Tell me, how many do you want?" Odrich did not hide anything, but spoke directly, and Dorothy responded immediately.
"It doesn't need to be much, just a little bit is enough, um... it's probably the minimum amount to complete a small ceremony." After thinking for a while, Dorothy continued.
Listening to Dorothy's words, Odditch nodded, turned around, opened the door and entered a room. After a while, he walked out of the room with a small box the size of two fingers in his hand.
"The spiritual storage of 'Lamp', the minimum requirement for the standard ritual, 150 pounds..."
Odki spoke slowly, and Dorothy couldn't help but complain in her heart as she listened to his words.
"Damn... it's so expensive. It's much more of a loss to buy spirituality directly than to extract it from the ton."
While thinking, Dorothy took out a booklet with a faint "cup" mark on it from her bag, with a few banknotes inside. Holding the booklet and banknotes, Dorothy continued to speak.
"This is the remains of the 'Cup' book, 'The Deconstruction of the Sacred Body', and a ten-pound deposit. Give me an estimate of its price." Dorothy put the book on the table in front of Odditch as she spoke. Odditch glanced at it and spoke with a smile.
"Deconstruction of the Holy Corpus Hehe... I've heard that it's a required course for most 'Cup' societies now. It seems that Miss Meshhos has a deep connection with the Holy Communion Society."
As he spoke, Odchi took the book and came to a workbench. He took out some money and placed the remaining scroll of "Deconstruction of the Sacred Body" in the center of a magic circle with the mark of "stone". After lighting two incense sticks around the magic circle, he took out a pair of reading glasses from a drawer. On the lenses of the glasses were engraved mysterious runes.
When the smoke from the incense lingered above the magic circle, Odchi put on his reading glasses engraved with runes, and then quickly and roughly flipped through the dark red booklet, glancing at any page without reading it carefully.
'Is this to prevent poison detection?'
Watching Oddiqi's operation, Dorothy couldn't help but think in her heart that she, who had never been troubled by poison identification, was also surprised by Oddiqi's operation at this time.
After a quick and cursory glance, Odditch closed the book "The Deconstruction of the Sacred Body". When he finished looking at the last page, the right lens of his reading glasses suddenly "clicked" and cracked into several pieces, which startled Dorothy.
"Hey, um..."
"Haha, it looks like this one has reached the end of its usefulness..."
Odchi laughed, then took off his rune reading glasses, looked at Dorothy who was a little surprised on the other side and spoke.
"It's no big deal, just normal wear and tear. Don't worry, we won't charge you extra for it."
Listening to Odchi's words, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief. It was the first time for her to see someone cracking his glasses while reading a book. At the same time, she also had a certain understanding of the harm of the so-called drug identification.
Although it is completely ineffective against himself, it is a danger that other residents of this world must take seriously.
"The profundity of the legend can be roughly determined by the strength of its poison recognition. I just casually felt its poison recognition... well... I can offer it for 350 pounds." After judging the value of the fragments of "Deconstruction of the Sacred Body", Odd continued, and Dorothy nodded after listening.
"Well, then it's a deal. Give me the 'lamp' and I'll give you 200 pounds."
"No problem." As he said this, Odditch took out money from the drawer of the workbench, and then placed the small box in front of Dorothy.
After Dorothy received the money, she picked up the small box and examined it for a few seconds, then thought silently.
"After I have this thing, I can also tell fortunes..."
