Is there a necessary connection between the fact that I accepted the commission the day before yesterday and when I found the person? If I hadn't spent a day waiting for Will Auceptin, the "Snake of Fate", to locate me, I could have arrived 24 hours earlier... This is called professionalism! Klein responded calmly:
"You can choose not to listen."
The fat pharmacist Darkwill was choked back with his subsequent words, and his facial muscles moved and said:
"Go ahead."
Klein stated bluntly:
"I received news that Roy Jin was secretly arrested by the military and is currently being held in the Governor's Mansion."
The news he received from the magic mirror Arrodes... he added silently in his mind.
“Really?” Darkwill couldn’t control himself again, his eyes widened and he asked back.
Klein nodded imperceptibly and said:
"My sources are reliable enough."
“But I can’t confirm it…” Darkwill said hesitantly.
"Because it involves an important seal of the School of Life." Klein said bluntly.
The fat pharmacist was startled and took two steps back, looking around vigilantly, afraid that someone might have heard what he had just said.
Can we just talk about this kind of thing on the street? He knew that we were from the School of Life Studies, and he knew that the old man was involved in an important sealed object... I only knew about it during the last contact... Darkwill gradually believed the information provided by the adventurer in front of him.
Klein glanced at the owl that flew down from the roof and landed on the fat pharmacist’s shoulder and said:
"You can pay your reward now."
“I can’t confirm it. I can’t believe everything you say…” Darkwill said stubbornly.
Then, he saw the eyes of the adventurer opposite him become extremely cold.
The fat pharmacist shuddered and muttered hurriedly:
"Well, I guess you've completed the commission."
He painfully took out a handful of cash from the secret pocket of his country witch doctor's robe and counted out 100 pounds to give to Klein.
Although he is an extraordinary person, his profession is "pharmacist" and "tamer". The improvement in his physical fitness cannot be fully reflected in frontal combat, and he may not be able to defeat an ordinary person with a revolver. The extraordinary pet he tamed is also a guy with little combat power. The opponent is obviously an experienced adventurer with many channels, and he is probably also an extraordinary person. Even a man and an owl tied together may not be his opponent. They can only accept what the other party says.
This is the money I saved with great difficulty… He lamented in his heart.
Being a "pharmacist" is indeed very profitable, especially in overseas colonies. There are many pirates, sailors and adventurers here, and the personnel are mixed. The official organization and management are relatively loose. He can sell some banned drugs without worrying about anyone coming to his door. The business provided by the guests of the Red Theater alone in the past two months has made him earn more money than the previous year.
However, as a Beyonder, his expenses were also huge. Most of his previous savings had been consumed by his promotion to "Beast Tamer". Later, he got a pet and worked hard to buy recipes for it, mix potions, and buy self-defense talismans and other items for himself. The money he could actually save was only a few hundred pounds.
Klein took the cash and counted it to verify its authenticity before pocketing it and leaving.
Seeing his back disappear at the entrance of the alley, the fat pharmacist Darkwill's expression instantly sank.
"It's too dangerous here... too dangerous... I must leave as soon as possible!" He muttered to himself as he returned to the herbal medicine shop, entered the inner room, dragged out a brown suitcase, and quickly stuffed various clothes and neatly folded cash into it.
Finally, he poured out the small bills and copper pennies of different denominations from the coin box, put them into his pockets, took the identity documents he had purchased at a high price, carried the brown suitcase, and walked out of the folk herbal medicine shop.
Looking back at the various potion materials that had not yet been sold out, Darkwill's chubby face twitched noticeably.
He took a deep breath, locked the door despite the pain, ran straight to the alley entrance, hailed a horse-drawn carriage, and headed to the Bayam Passenger Ship Ticket Company.
"It's too dangerous, too dangerous. The old man has been caught...caught..." He sat in the carriage, muttering to himself over and over again, trembling slightly.
In this state, he finally arrived at the ticket office. As soon as he paid the fare, he ran into the lobby and lined up in front of the passenger ship window to East Balam.
Inhale, exhale...inhale, exhale...Darkwill took a deep breath and followed closely behind the people queuing up in front of him, moving step by step.
"Take the nearest boat." He emphasized to himself.
As they moved forward, stop and go, Darkwill gradually calmed down.
His expression suddenly distorted, then quickly calmed down, then distorted again, and calmed down again.
When there was only one ticket buyer in front of him, Darkwill froze in his tracks.
"Stupid ass! You stupid ass!" He cursed himself, turned around abruptly, carried his suitcase and his identification documents, and walked out of the ticketing hall.
…………
Klein didn't care how the fat pharmacist Darkwill would save his teacher Roy King. He thought it was not something he should consider.
"They are backed by the 'School of Life'. Even though there has been a split recently, it is still an ancient organization with hundreds or thousands of years of history. It was born in the early Fifth Epoch and has a deep foundation. The fat pharmacist can naturally find someone to help... If the 'School of Life' can't do it, it's useless for me to bring out the entire Tarot Club. There's no need to worry about it. The military has a demigod in Bayam... Of course, he may not be in the Governor's Mansion, but may live in a military base." Klein took out his wallet in the car and looked at the paper crane inside. He considered whether to throw it back into the gray fog immediately.
Let's wait a little longer. Who knows, Will Auceptin, the "Snake of Fate" might have something to offer me... Next time, I'll have to prepare a pencil. I've ignored this problem before. How big can a paper crane be? I'll soon run out of space to write down information with a fountain pen... Then I won't be able to proactively contact Will Auceptin. I can only passively wait. I can't keep this paper crane with me forever. I'll have to return it to the pile of junk above the gray fog in a few days. After all, I can't always let Will Auceptin locate me. It's better to be cautious... Klein made a quick decision, returned to the "Azure Wind", packed his luggage, and checked out of the luxury suite.
What comforted him was that when Danitz came the second time, he prepaid part of the room fee, so he only paid 5 soli.
Soon, Klein changed neighborhoods and came to Ortom Street near the Fragrant Leaf Bar. He checked into a hotel called "Teyana" and asked for a clean but ordinary room. It only cost 2 soli and 2 pence a day, and also came with a glass of juice squeezed from the giant "Teyana" fruit.
As he drank the slightly sweet milky juice, Klein no longer needed to worry about his image. He collapsed into the reclining chair in the room and decided to spend the next two hours in a daze and catching up on sleep. He would then go above the gray fog to read the believers' prayers and experience the feeling of seeing thousands of people with thousands of faces.
…………
Backlund, White family.
Emlyn looked at the blood-red "gem" that appeared in the altar, as if he could hear his own blood resonating with it.
After thanking Mr. Fool, he picked up the gem, sensed the special power flowing inside, and was sure that this was the relic of a vampire baron.
"I just need to prepare the corresponding inheritance ceremony or auxiliary potion materials, and I can become a baron. This is not difficult at this stage." Emlyn thought with anticipation and pride. "According to the human system, I will be a Sequence 6 Beyonder by then, and the corresponding title is, 'Potion Professor'!"
…………
It's Monday again. On the foggy sea, a fleet is sailing through the thin fog and the azure blue ocean.
Their flagship is a huge sailing ship flying a unique flag depicting an eye without lashes surrounded by ten stars.
Admiral of the Stars Cattleya stood by the window of the captain's room, quietly watching the sunlight shining through the mist until the wall clock made a cuckoo sound.
She glanced at the time and quickly converted it to Rune time, then drew the curtains and sat behind the desk.
On the red wooden table were placed a brass sextant and a light blue planetarium. There were large blank areas on the surface of the latter, which were areas that had not been explored clearly or could not be explored.
Cattleya stretched out her finger and fiddled with the globe. Then, she half-closed her eyes and waited for the Fool's call.
Not long after, a surging crimson light appeared before her eyes, completely submerging her who was well prepared.
When she got used to the changes, the sacred palace supported by stone pillars and the mottled ancient bronze table appeared in her sight again.
Amid Miss Justice’s lively greeting, Cattleya also greeted Mr. Fool, who was still shrouded in gray mist.
With a quick glance, her slightly dark purple eyes suddenly shrank.
She discovered that the "Hanged Man", "Moon" and "Sun" opposite her all had slight spiritual overflow phenomena, which was completely different from the last time!
This shows that they all got promoted!
This shows that they have been promoted in recent days!
"In just one week, all three members of the Tarot Club were promoted. The Hanged Man and the Moon may have even reached Sequence 6... Is this a coincidence? Did they all happen to take the potion in the same week? From a probability perspective, this is possible, as evidenced by the materials that the Moon and the Sun purchased last time. But this is enough to show that the Tarot Club members are promoted very quickly, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence...
“Of course, below Sequence 5, it’s not surprising that Beyonders who have mastered the role-playing method and have no shortage of resources advance quickly… From Sequence 6 to Sequence 5, rituals are required to assist, and digestion becomes increasingly difficult. It’s unlikely that something like this will happen again… The Hermit…” Cattleya retracted her gaze.
Then, Justice Audrey apologized to Mr. Fool, saying that she had not contacted the members of the Psychological Alchemy Society recently and could not provide Roselle's diary. The same was true for Magician Fors. Her teacher had been slow to reply recently, and the cold weather made her not want to go out.
As for Derrick the Sun, he had just been promoted and had a lot of things to deal with, so he was unable to obtain the new ancient mythology information. Klein the Fool could only nod calmly.
Derrick breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and turned to look at the bottom of the long bronze table:
"Mr. World, I have obtained the method you wanted to separate the mental contamination of the out-of-control Beyonder."
Don’t say it so directly… Klein the Fool, who was sitting at the top of the long bronze table, almost had a dull expression on his face.
Although Little Sun, you had already let Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man know about this matter in your previous promises, didn't Ms. Hermit just join in? Klein resisted the urge to cover his face.
PS: I would like to recommend a good book to everyone, "It Turns Out I'm Not an Ordinary Person", which is meticulously written and quite interesting.
