Chapter 93 Inquiry
During the day, in the western suburbs of Egwent, St. Amanda's School.
In the morning, Dorothy, wearing St. Amanda's student uniform, slowly walked into the school's basement workshop. When she walked through the door, she saw Aldridge sitting in a chair and sipping tea leisurely. He didn't seem to be carving at the moment.
"These past few days... the city seems to be a bit chaotic, so I had a feeling that you would come to see me again, Miss Meshhos."
Looking at the white-haired girl in front of him, Aldridge put down his teacup and said with a smile. Listening to the words of the "kind elder" in front of him, Dorothy shrugged her shoulders, then without hesitation moved a chair and sat opposite Aldridge.
"Come on, I came here today to ask you to show me two things. The first is this..." Dorothy took out a piece of straw paper printed with a complex red pattern. After taking the straw paper and taking a look at it, Aldridge said silently.
"This thing... the appraisal fee is 30 pounds."
"Didn't you charge 10 pounds for appraisal before?" Dorothy couldn't help but complain when she heard the price asked by Aldridge, and Aldridge slowly responded.
"The price I determine after appraisal is based on how rare the item is. The talisman you brought here is not ordinary, Miss Meshhos." Aldridge answered in a tone of voice. His meaning was very clear. The rarer the item, the more money it would cost.
"Profligate businessman..."
Dorothy complained in her heart, then took out 30 pounds from her bag and slapped it on the table. Although it was a bit expensive, it was better than consuming spiritual energy to use the appraisal technique. So if it was not an extraordinary item, the most cost-effective way was to ask Aldridge to appraise it.
"This thing... is made by overlapping the Life-Saving Talisman through the copy method. It has a much stronger effect than the ordinary Life-Saving Talisman. The ordinary Life-Saving Talisman can make ordinary people have the same abilities as the Hungry Man, but it has no effect on the Hungry Man. This Talisman can raise the physical fitness of the Hungry Man to a higher level in a short period of time, and it will also consume a lot of 'cups'. In order to distinguish it from the ordinary Life-Saving Talisman, many people call this Talisman the Feast Talisman. In essence, it is an enhanced version of the Life-Saving Talisman."
Looking at the talisman in front of him, Aldridge said slowly. Listening to Aldridge's words, Dorothy almost understood how Buck could suddenly burst out and kill four zombies that had taken life-eating stimulants. It turned out that he had taken more powerful stimulants.
"Then can't this talisman be used by hungry and thirsty people as well?" Dorothy continued to ask, and Aldridge continued to answer.
"Of course you can, as long as you can afford the cup it requires. But forgive me, the cup consumption of the Feast Seal is five times that of an ordinary creature. If you are not an extraordinary cup holder, you will not be able to afford such consumption. So you have to think about it, Miss Meshhos."
As he warned, Aldridge handed the Feast Seal back to Dorothy, who took it and thought to herself.
"It's 5 times the normal raw food, which means it costs 5 points for each application. I can barely afford it a few times..."
Dorothy thought so after collecting the Feast Seal, while Aldridge spoke with a slightly complicated expression.
"You can have this kind of thing, you didn't kill the high-ranking officials of the Holy Communion, did you? If I remember correctly, you bought the Apprentice Level Promotion Ceremony from me not long ago."
Aldridge said this. Although he knew that the other party was against the Holy Communion, he did not expect that Dorothy, who was promoted to an apprentice more than a month ago, could kill the high-level officials of the Holy Communion. Listening to Aldridge's words, Dorothy smiled and said.
"Whatever you think it is, that's it... Stop talking nonsense, I have something else here."
Then, Dorothy took out another talisman with the "Shadow" and "Awakening" symbols printed on it and handed it to Aldridge. Aldridge took the talisman, then his expression froze and he continued.
"This... 40 pounds..."
Without thinking much, Dorothy slapped the money on the table, and then Aldridge spoke immediately.
"This is the Dream Anchor Talisman, a precious talisman that records dream coordinates. This talisman will mark a dream cocoon in the dream and store the dream coordinates of the dream cocoon in it. After using this talisman to enter the dream and use mimicry to enter the dream world, you can instantly move to the coordinates of the dream cocoon. It is usually produced by associations that focus on dream research, such as... the Black Dream Hunting Group, the Goldorp Family, etc. However, the production is rare, so it is considered relatively precious in the secret world and is generally used to transmit information in the dream world."
As he finished speaking, Aldridge returned the dream anchor talisman in his hand to Dorothy. Dorothy took the talisman and nodded with understanding.
"It can make the dream mimicry move to the target dream cocoon in an instant... It turns out that it can also transmit information in this way. Then, who is the dream cocoon that this dream anchor seal points to?" Dorothy thought so. At this moment, she already had two options in her mind, either Brandon, the traitor, or the so-called mentor.
"I didn't expect you could get this kind of thing, Miss Meshhos. But I need to warn you, before you have a strong enough mimicry, you'd better not go to the dream world. It's dangerous there..." Aldridge said to Dorothy. He knew that Dorothy probably already had mimicry to go to the dream world, because he was the one who sold the book "Dream Explorations" to Dorothy. Now several months have passed, and Aldridge estimated that she had finished reading it.
Listening to Aldridge's warning, Dorothy couldn't help but curl her lips and then complained.
"Hehe... I was just about to ask you this. The biography you gave me clearly stated that it was possible to transform into a bird through the Mimicry Spell, but how did it turn into a fish in the end? It can't move around in the woods at all..."
Listening to Dorothy's complaints, Aldridge took a sip of tea calmly, and then continued to speak calmly.
"I always believe in getting what you pay for. The biography I sold you was sold for 500 pounds because it was mistranslated and could only mimic a fish. The mimicry spell for birds that can fly in the woods is hard to come by. If I really wanted to sell it, I would not sell it in a place like Igwynte if it failed, and the price would be much more than 500 pounds!"
Aldridge finished speaking, and his meaning was very clear, he was selling it for 500 yuan just because he had turned into a salted fish. If he could really turn into a bird, he would not sell it at this price.
With a sigh of relief, Dorothy took the Dream Anchor Seal in her hand, and then continued to ask Aldridge.
"Next, Mr. Aldridge, can I buy some information from you?"
"Sure... I can sell you any intelligence that doesn't involve my clients, but I have a lot of clients here in Igwinter, so you probably won't be able to ask anything." Aldridge said easily, and Dorothy took out $10 and put it on the table and asked.
"I want to ask, in Igwynt, are there any extraordinary 'cups' of the Cretaceous Stage?"
"No, there's no way a chalk-white guy would come to a place like this."
Without thinking too much, put the money away, said Aldridge, and Dorothy took out the second £10 and put it on the table.
"So does Igwynt have any extraordinary people of the Black Earth level 'Cup'?"
"Well, I can't..."
Aldridge was about to say something, but suddenly he realized something and stared at Dorothy with serious eyes, while Dorothy also looked at him with a smile.
After staring like this for a while, Aldridge laughed and said.
"You are very clever, Miss Meshhaus..."
"You behave yourself, Mr. Aldridge..."
Dorothy smiled and said that now she had almost figured out the mentor's realm.
