Part 3 the traveler Chapter 103 – Buying Medicine

　　The Storm Church has finally made a move on Banshee Harbor? Klein clenched his fist against his mouth and coughed twice, not at all vainly asking very frankly:

　　”What’s the situation?”

　　Aeran did not find an unusual reaction from Germaine Sparrow, withdrew his eyes and looked around the circle and said:

　　”I’m not sure exactly what happened, I only know that it may involve the high-level power of the Storm Church.

　　”And for some time before that, all routes to Banshee Harbor were canceled, which might be the so-called signs.”

　　Involving the high-level power of the Storm Church? No, it should be the top-level power, I suspect that that Pope of the Storm Church, that earthly angel, has taken matters into his own hands, and even used the “0” seal, after all, there may exist a King of Angels on the other side, older than the Fourth Age, as well as the descendants of the K… …Klein nodded and asked flatly:

　　”How did it turn out?”

　　He wasn’t surprised that the Storm Church didn’t take action against Banshee Harbor until the last few days. Even though the “vicarious punishers” were known for their violent and reckless behavior, there were still procedures that should be followed when it came to major events like this, such as making initial confirmations, evacuating innocent people, and blocking the surrounding waters, which all took time.

　　Aeran, unable to discern Germaine Sparrow’s true emotions, sighed and laughed:

　　”There won’t be a Banshee Harbor for a long time.”

　　…… No less than the Church of Storms …… Klein was secretly staggered, curious about the more detailed process.

　　He wanted to know whether the “Red Angel” Medici had appeared, whether it was really sleeping near Banshee Harbor, and whether it had been cleared by the Storm Church, he wanted to know what happened to the indigenous residents of Banshee Harbor, he wanted to know what the intermittent way of speaking really meant, and he wanted to know what secrets were hidden in the Lime Restaurant and the Telegraph Office respectively.

　　Unfortunately, with the destruction of Banshee Harbor, he would never again have trouble getting definitive answers.

　　Maybe the Storm Church’s internal information will record some, but Klein had no way to inquire, with the rank of the “hanging man”, there is no access to this level of confidentiality of the dossier.

　　Waiting to train Mr. “Inverted Man” to become a half-god, half-human high-ranking powerhouse, only then will I be able to know the answers to those questions……. Klein sighed silently, his expression remaining unchanged as he said:

　　”It is indeed dangerous there ……”

　　Before his words left his mouth, his throat tickled again and he coughed violently a few times.

　　”Sick?” Aeran asked, slightly puzzled.

　　He had originally thought that Germaine Sparrow, like himself, belonged to the category of extraordinary people with significantly enhanced physique, and that before aging, it would be impossible to get sick under normal circumstances, but now it seemed that his own guess might be wrong.

　　Klein let out a “hmmm” without explaining too much.

　　There is no value and significance to the question …… and “disease girl” after a fierce battle, did not get sick to be strange …… Danez in the side of the contemptuous muttered two sentences.

　　Ailan laughed:

　　”I can recommend a pharmacist to you, more useful than going to hospitals and clinics.

　　”That’s his extraordinary profession, his little herbal store is in the alley diagonally across from the Red Theater, heh, known for selling aphrodisiacal potions, but that’s not his best field.”

　　Doesn’t every pharmacist develop similar potions? Also, this is definitely one of the most lucrative potion businesses, and it would be strange not to do it if you have the ability to do so……. Klein nodded gently, signaling that he knew.

　　”Why haven’t I heard of it?” Daniz asked in surprise.

　　”He’s only been in Byam for the last few months, when was the last time you were in the ‘City of Generosity’?” Aeran asked back with a light chuckle.

　　The time I took your broken ship …… Danez answered silently in his mind.

　　He thought back carefully and realized that in recent months, except for this time, he had only passed by Bayam once at the beginning of his vacation, and the rest of the time he had either drifted on the sea, chasing treasure, or drinking and having fun in other ports elsewhere, so he really didn’t have enough knowledge of the subtle changes in the “City of Generosity”.

　　”I’ve been in Bayam for quite a few days now, and have been to the Red Theater several times, yet I’ve never heard of the medicine man at all! That can only mean that his aphrodisiac-type potions have limited effects!” Daniz bragged with a stiff upper lip.

　　Aeran laughed, not arguing with a certain great pirate, and turned to Germaine Sparrow:

　　”If it was just a normal disease, that pharmacist’s opening price would be a little on the high side at best.

　　”And it doesn’t matter if it’s expensive for you, what’s important is to regain your health as soon as possible. Every adventurer doesn’t want to be in a state of illness, because it means danger, it means becoming someone’s hunting target at any time, and it means an increased risk of losing control.”

　　Indeed, maintaining a good state is quite an important part for extraordinary people, however, the price is also important, okay, if that pharmacist is asking for 1000 pounds, I might as well go to the hospital to buy medicine or describe in detail how I got sick, and get a few potions from this solid vampire, Emlyn White! Although I now have more than 6,000 pounds in savings, and also took a few copies of extraordinary properties, but also have to think about the future ah, I also want to add a magical item with lethal attack power, and also have to pursue the clues of the formula of the High Sequence Magic Potion …… Klein mumbled a few times in his heart.

　　The formula of a high sequence magic potion could not be measured in terms of money in the Mystic World, so that’s why Klein was thinking of purchasing the corresponding clues.

　　When Aeran left, Klein took the 700 pounds of bounty and divided 200 pounds among Danez.

　　He put on his hat, lifted his cane, and went out, coughing and blowing his nose now and then, to prepare for the carriage ride to the vicinity of the Red Theater.

　　Curious about the apothecary’s potions, Danez plastered on two moustaches, put on his duck hat, and followed – after Klein’s instruction, he had come to understand that such behavior as covering one’s face with a scarf was very noticeable in Byam, and took the advice to purchase a fake moustache.

　　……

　　In the alleyway diagonally across from the Red Theater, as soon as Klein enters, he sees a man cowering out of the unlisted herbalist’s store, and as soon as he realizes that someone is there, he immediately lowers his head and hurries away.

　　Don t worry, we won t guess exactly what potions you purchased …… Klein coughed twice again, quickened his pace, and entered the dimly lit herb store.

　　As he swept his eyes, he suddenly froze as the owner turned out to be an acquaintance.

　　The boss was wearing a black robe in the style of a countryside witch doctor, in his thirties, with black hair and brown pupils, a round face, and a chubby body, it was the fat pharmacist who liked to make sarcastic remarks at the party convened by the “Wisdom Eye” old man in Bekrand, Klein had met the other party in a circus and recognized him.

　　He no longer appeared in the “Eyes of Wisdom” old man’s extraordinary people gathering, because he left Bakeland ah …… Klein coughed and took two steps forward and said:

　　”Make me some potions.”

　　The fat apothecary rested a bulging-eyed owl on his shoulder, and one man and one animal looked up at the same time, looking at Klein.

　　After a short observation, the fat apothecary revealed an ambiguous smile:

　　”My friend, it’s so cold, so don’t do that kind of thing outside, although that’s really exciting.”

　　What is all this with what ah …… Klein first froze, and then realized why the other party said so.

　　”When I fought with Tressie, there was the influence of the pleasure ability, the blood rushed down, the desire rose and fell, which led to the body being empty, and the disease invaded more quickly and more easily, when I escaped, the cold sea water was fine, with the protection of divine magic, but the wind on the road was quite cold, which made my condition worsened along with it, when you look at it all together, isn’t it just like having a wild pleasure and getting sick from the cold? Worthy of being a pharmacist, with a keen eye …… “Klein kept his expression unchanged and just looked at the fat pharmacist like that, without opening his mouth or responding, waiting for the other party to mix the potion.

　　Daniz, on the other hand, twisted his head and looked out of the herb store, holding back his laughter.

　　”What kind of shit pharmacist is this? Can’t even see the diseases spread by the ‘Disease Maiden’!” He thought smugly.

　　Seeing that the other party didn’t pick up on his topic, the fat pharmacist opened one cabinet after another in a bored manner and took out either common or strange herbs, insect shells, and other things, put them into a paper bag, and handed it over, saying:

　　”Put it all in water, boil it for half an hour, and drink the liquid that boils out.

　　”4 Soule.”

　　It’s on the expensive side …… Klein swept a glance at Daniz next to him.

　　The latter immediately took out cash automatically and consciously.

　　While collecting the money, the fat pharmacist bent his back, lowered his voice, and hemmed and hawed:

　　”I have the potion that makes you more outstanding in that area, the kind with mummy powder added, need it? Your satisfaction is guaranteed.

　　”I know, you may be strong, but men, always chasing stronger.”

　　First, I have to have a girlfriend …… Klein coldly shook his head and rejected the fat pharmacist’s sales pitch.

　　The fat pharmacist straightened up in disappointment.

　　With a twinkle in his eye, he sized up the two men and casually asked:

　　”You guys are adventurers?”

　　”Right.” Klein replied succinctly.

　　The fat apothecary rubbed his hands together:

　　”I have a commission, however, it must be completed before I get paid.”

　　”How much pay?” Klein pinched his nose.

　　”One hundred pounds!” The fat apothecary shouted heartily, “Find me someone, his name is Roy King, he was my teacher, he told me to meet him here, but I’ve been waiting for months and haven’t seen him and can’t get in touch anymore.”

　　”Got a portrait, ahem, or a picture?” Klein inquired.

　　The fat apothecary pulled a picture from a concealed pouch at his waist and handed it over.

　　On it was a rather young man with neatly combed back hair and a pair of framed glasses that made him appear well-mannered.

　　”Your teacher?” Klein asked rhetorically.

　　Say you’re his teacher, I might believe ……

　　The fat pharmacist coughed twice dryly:

　　”He’s at least sixty years old, he just looks young.”

　　Extraordinary ability or magical item? Klein nodded thoughtfully and inquired about the specifics.

　　After determining that there were no items that could be used to aid in divination, he took the paper bag and left the herb store.

　　When their backs disappeared at the mouth of the alley, the owl standing on the fat apothecary’s shoulder suddenly spoke:

　　”Darkwell, that fellow might know you.”
