Chapter 228 Exhibition Invitation
Audrey, who was standing by, covered her mouth and chuckled. "Glarint, no wonder you rejected the invitations of several ladies. It turns out you were thinking about your potion all the time."
“I have always had hope and worked hard for it.”
The Viscount said seriously, if it weren't for the anxiety in his eyes, you wouldn't know that he was someone who was eager to find the formula.
Angel took out a piece of paper with the "Pharmacist" formula he had obtained from Father Utravsky and handed it to the surprised Grellant. Grellant took it and looked at the contents with his eyes almost shining. He quickly breathed a sigh of relief, folded the paper and put it in his pocket, not seeming to be worried about the difficult names of the extraordinary ingredients in the formula.
But it was also true that he and Miss "Justice" Audrey were both nobles of the Kingdom of Loen, and the latter spent money lavishly at the Tarot Club and never worried about the source of potion ingredients.
"I've divined, and there shouldn't be any problems with the formula."
Angel added, worried that the Viscount would doubt the authenticity of the recipe.
But the other party obviously didn't have similar thoughts. Instead, he looked at Angel with a smile on his face and said:
"Thank you, Miss Irene. I didn't expect that you would find the formula I've been waiting for just a week. How much did it cost you?"
Fors shifted awkwardly in the reclining chair, which made Angel think that she might also be responsible for finding the potion formula.
After hesitating for a moment, Angel quoted a low price: 300 pounds.
Considering the 200 pounds she paid Darkwill, including the final payment, and the fierce battle she had with a Sequence 6 Dawn Knight while helping Father Utravsky, it was a reasonable price and wouldn't affect her relationship with the noble.
"Very good, you will get the reward when the salon is over."
The Viscount nodded and sat back on the sofa. His right hand occasionally stroked the pocket containing the formula, and the smile on his face never faded.
"So, do you have any clues about the formula for the 'audience' I need?"
Audrey opened her emerald eyes wide and looked at Angel expectantly.
Be sure to be careful with the "audience" channel, their acting is too good!
Angel, impressed by Justice's superb acting skills, shook his head and replied with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Miss Audrey, I didn't find anyone to sell the formula to this time."
Miss Justice immediately revealed her undisguised disappointment. Even though Angel knew she was pretending, he felt a little sorry for her and wanted to help her solve the problem of the potion formula as soon as possible.
"Ms. Audrey, perhaps we could consider continuing to attend that Beyonder gathering. The recipe for 'Audience' appeared at the gathering. If the seller continues to attend the gathering, we should be able to purchase it from him."
Fors, who was standing by, also joined the conversation.
"Unfortunately, due to the impact of the serial murder case, this party will not be held for the time being. Not only Audrey, but your 'Master of Magic' will also have to be postponed."
Viscount Glint said, his tone light and cheerful, completely in contrast to the frustration of the two ladies.
It seems the entire Beyonder gathering in Backlund has been affected by the actions of the official Beyonders... But "Master of Magic," is that Fors' subsequent potion sequence? Thank you, outspoken Viscount Grelint!
Angel thought of the three potion formulas he had obtained from the Dominican Federation, one of which was "Master of Magic".
"The number of people attending the gatherings I attended has also dropped by half. Many Beyonders are reluctant to come out," Angel interjected, then glanced at Fors casually, "'Master of Magic'? Is that your subsequent sequence?"
Perhaps hoping to get a clue from Angel, Fors didn't hide anything and nodded slowly.
"Yes, I am a Sequence 9 'apprentice' and am currently seeking the subsequent formula. If you have any relevant clues, I am willing to buy it."
"I can demonstrate the abilities of 'Apprentice' to you."
After saying that, she put away her lazy expression, stood up from the sofa, walked to the door of the bathroom in the study, grasped the door handle, passed through the wooden door like a phantom, then opened the door from the inside and returned to the three people.
This... this is indeed a magical ability.
Angel marveled at how every path, even Sequence 9, possessed unique extraordinary abilities that were different from other paths.
But this was somewhat similar to the effect of the "Master Key," both of which could instantly pass through obstacles. Although Fors only demonstrated passing through a closed wooden door, I doubt ordinary walls would be able to stop her either...
Perhaps the extraordinary properties contained in this key came from a certain "apprentice" path?
Seeing the apprentice sitting back on the sofa, Angel smiled and said, "I understand. I will help you find the potion formula of the 'Master of Magic' at other gatherings."
She didn't plan to tell others right away that she had the formula, as that would easily attract attention. Perhaps it would be better to get in touch with her first, get to know her, and then find an opportunity to sell her the potion formula.
Furthermore, this lady might not be familiar with the "acting method" and might not have fully digested the Sequence 9 potion. If she were to be promoted directly to Sequence 8, she might lose control.
Looking at Audrey beside him, Angel secretly wondered if she had told her friends about the "acting method".
…
After the four of them got to know each other, they talked about the interesting things that happened that week and some knowledge of mysticism. Angel also learned that the absent bounty hunter Hugh Dilcha was indeed a good friend of Fors. The two even lived together, but the latter had something urgent to do today and did not come to the party.
Since he already knew the other party's potion sequence, Angel also told Fors his disguised "Fortune Teller" sequence and showed off his Tarot divination skills. Using the upright "Magician" card, he predicted that her luck would change for the better in the near future and her career would have a good start.
Looking at the somewhat surprised Fors, Angel guessed that the accuracy of his divination should be quite high.
"Can you divine where to obtain the recipe for 'Master of Magic'?"
The apprentice lady, who had tasted the sweetness, asked curiously.
"Divination requires sufficient information to succeed, and none of you present here know where to obtain the potion formula. This divination will undoubtedly fail."
Angel rejected the request without hesitation.
When she uses the magic mirror to divine the location of the "Master of Magic", she might just end up with her own face reflected in the mirror!
After the short divination show, Viscount Grellint talked about the Roselle Memorial Exhibition held today. The exhibition was organized by the Church of Steam and Machinery and displayed the various invention manuscripts and relics of Emperor Roselle at the Kingdom Museum in the west district.
Among them were even the emperor's original manuscripts and many original handicrafts. Even in the Kingdom of Loen, which had once been at war with Intis, where the emperor ruled, this "Caesar" was very popular, and the exhibition was said to be unprecedentedly popular.
"The exhibition runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., but Miss Audrey secured additional opening hours after closing time, allowing only a small number of approved guests to visit and carefully appreciate the great masterpiece in a quiet and undisturbed environment."
There was a certain ostentation in the Viscount's words, but considering the prevailing customs of the time, it was not surprising for the nobility to flaunt their privileges.
Angel was also curious about the exhibition. She caught a glimpse of a smile on the lips of Miss "Justice" Audrey, who then made an invitation.
"Ms. Irene, Ms. Fors, are you interested in Russell's exhibition?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Audrey, I have other things to do with Hugh tonight."
This "apprentice" lady doesn't look like someone who would like to participate in such activities...
Angel was about to refuse, but then he thought that maybe he could get a closer look at the Emperor's diary and maybe write down some of it for the Tarot Club...
Alas, it has been a long time since I last attended a Tarot Club.
Angel suddenly felt a little depressed. He looked up at Miss Justice of the Tarot Club and nodded at the expectation in her emerald eyes.
"Thank you, Miss Audrey. I'd love to."
…
An hour later, looking at the flush toilet left behind by the time traveler Emperor Roselle, which was shining with golden light and carved with intricate patterns, and listening to the tour guide's exaggerated praise, Angel began to regret it.
