Chapter 28 About Two Months
The bait was eaten.
When someone responded to the call, Andy, who was far away on a remote island in North Africa, suddenly realized this.
But he didn't check it out immediately.
Because this kind of response is more like a qualification.
A qualification to enter the other person's dream and communicate with the other person in a spiritual way.
Since it is a dream, not only do you need to sleep, but the other person also needs to be in a sleeping state before it can proceed.
Otherwise there is no way to get in touch at all.
On the other hand, accepting the crown prince as a student is not something that can be done casually.
Although there is a blood relationship, it is impossible to show that I am qualified to be the other party's teacher, or even have stronger abilities than the current teacher.
Then the little sense of intimacy brought by blood alone will not bring much effect.
Opportunities to perform are not something that can be easily obtained.
You can't be too deliberate, you need to guide it subtly and let everything happen naturally.
Andy felt that there would be no effect within a month.
"Hope you have a good sleep tonight."
He thought to himself, and then put the matter out of his mind for the time being.
At this time, Andy was "shopping" in a market.
The market is not a simple market. It is located under a piece of yellow sand. The environment is dark and the air is cold. It looks like a series of caves connected together.
On both sides of the roads leading to these underground caves, there are many wooden signs with sentences in the local language written on them.
"We are urgently buying 10 kilograms of poisonous sardines, 30% higher than the market price. The contact address is Vasili's house on the west side of the overlooking rock on the east side of the island. Please knock on the door before you come - there are poison traps in the yard. Jumping over the wall will be at your own risk!"
…
"Want to have a charming body fragrance? Want to make your lover obsessed with your arms? Come to Muir Therapy and join us! There is a discount in the middle of the month, and you can enjoy it by signing up for membership..."
…
"Accepting employment, good at sea diving, treasure hunting, fishing, picking, etc. Contact address..."
…
It is obvious that this is a market specially held for extraordinary people.
Judging from these billboards, what the ugly man said was true. There are not only extraordinary people on this island, but also a lot of them.
Andy learned about this place from the person who delivered meals to him these days.
However, he did not come here to broaden his horizons or to escape the summer heat in the underground world.
He wanted to get some herbs.
Some herbs that work against evil spirits.
There is something wrong with keeping the evil spirit in a suitcase all the time.
Although that idiot wouldn't feel wronged, it's impossible for Andy to carry a suitcase everywhere he goes.
That's too troublesome and too conspicuous.
So he planned to teach that thing some brains, so that it could at least be able to control its aura independently and not attack its master at every turn.
In this way, Andy can carry it directly on his body without blocking it with a sealed container.
On the other hand, an evil spirit with a brain is like a sharp sword that will no longer bite back at itself. It is very convenient to use it to kill people...
However, this requires a lot of resources.
Moreover, it is an extremely scarce herbal resource in this country.
But Andy had observed it these past few days, and although it was scarce, he had collected all he needed.
However, this presents a problem.
He has no money.
In other words, there is nothing that the extraordinary person needs in exchange.
Of course, with his abilities, there are many ways to make money, but there are very few ways to make money without exposing his abnormality.
The abnormality here refers to the special abilities that are completely inconsistent with his growing environment and age.
"It seems that we can only think of this matter."
After walking around and not finding any business opportunities, Andy finally came to the largest cave in the market.
There were no other billboards in this cave, only a huge blackboard hanging in the middle.
Some explicit regulations, taboos, and even legal codes are clearly written on it.
It is obviously hung here by the official agency of this island.
Among these words, there is a short but special line.
"Unlimited purchase of round-horned sandworms."
After reading this for a while, Andy turned and left.
He had a way of getting a large number of bugs, provided he found one first to observe.
You don't have to look for it in the market, just go back and search in the sand yourself.
…
"This kid seems to have some ideas."
A crystal ball reflects Andy wandering around the underground market.
Gazing at the crystal ball was a dark-skinned old man sitting in an office, smoking a pipe.
Now he was watching Andy's leaving while talking to the middle-aged man sitting opposite the desk.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"But those bugs are hard to catch, otherwise we wouldn't have to issue a bounty."
“How to avoid being in direct sunlight for a long time is a problem.”
The middle-aged man who was reading a book answered.
He had short gray hair and was wearing a black priest robe. If Andy was here at this moment, he would definitely find that this was Father Matthew who had been transferred.
"So he might also consider buying some heat protection equipment."
"Is he rich?" the old black man asked, raising his eyebrows.
He is the deputy mayor here and also a member of the rebels. He has always had a good relationship with Matthew and was one of the senior officials who supported Matthew's decision.
"The Kozias didn't prepare any money for him."
The priest said without even looking up, "They obviously think Andy has no interest in wandering around anytime soon."
"This is clearly a mistake."
The deputy mayor smiled when he heard this, "It seems that the improvement of the disease has made the boy more lively."
He didn't take it seriously, and after making a joke, he changed the subject.
"Can Cardin survive?"
When he said this, the deputy mayor's tone became noticeably more serious.
“It’s difficult.”
Matthew shook his head and said, "Although he rescued the boy from underwater, it is inevitable that traces will be left. So far, there has been no problem. It's just that those people hope to use him to lure us into the trap."
“What a pity…”
The black deputy mayor sighed when he heard this, then smoked his pipe with a serious expression and said nothing more.
Cardin was the police chief.
Although he is not a very important person in the anti-bandit forces, he is also considered a backbone force.
Rescuing Andy from York Harbor was a great achievement.
However, he was about to die for his meritorious service.
The organization is well aware of this, but it is impossible for them to choose to save him like they did when they saved Andy.
The cost is too high and the chance of success is too low.
After all, it is a trap, and no one knows how many people the person who set the trap has prepared.
So they could only watch the hero die.
It's a very sad thing, everyone is so powerless.
The deputy mayor smoked his pipe in silence for a long time before he turned to the priest who was reading a book and asked, "So what about you? Are you really giving up your status as a clergyman?"
"Just give up temporarily."
Matthew replied, "If I disappear midway, the higher-ups will just consider me missing. Once the hype is over, they can find an excuse to cover it up."
"Too."
The deputy mayor nodded in understanding. "If we stay here, there will be no good results except being suppressed by that old man."
"But, when do you think this trend will pass?"
"About two months."
The priest replied.
After pondering for a moment, he snapped the book shut and said, "Once that great man returns home, everything will be over."
