Part 3 the traveler Chapter 104 – Farewell and Farewell
”What? He knows me?” The fat apothecary known as Darkwell asked in a low, rhetorical voice as he was creeped out.
The owl looked ahead with bulging eyes and said:
”I did notice that he visibly froze for two seconds when he walked in and saw you.”
”Maybe it was because he thought I didn’t fit the image of a medicine man in his mind with this appearance?” The fat medicine man retorted with a stiff upper lip.
The owl’s wings opened and fell:
”If that’s what you want to think, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
”…… Exactly what books have you been reading lately?” The fat apothecary’s face moved with fatness and said.
Owl replied with a look of solemnity and seriousness:
”My reading bias depends on the caliber of your knowledge.
”Unfortunately, there are only so many words you have at your disposal that you can teach me, and I am forced to read popular novels with lower vocabulary requirements.
”Besides, it’s all serialized in newspapers.”
Fat Apothecary Duckwell chortled:
”I’ll be back later with a cookbook called The East Byron Guide to Bird Cooking.”
Without waiting for the owl to say more, he sank his expression and muttered to himself:
”He knows me? He seems to be a standard Ruin, at least more than half Ruin blood.
”I’ve been in several cities in Rune under false names, it’s not surprising that someone would recognize me, but still, I have to be on my guard, and if I don’t hear from the old man by March, I’ll have to get out of here ……”
As he spoke, he twisted his head to look over his shoulder at the owl:
”Some days, you’re still useful.”
”No, your eyes, your body movements tell me that what you really think in your heart is, damn, I obviously want a pet that can help me deal with monsters dealing with gangster fighters, according to the standard of the dragon to collect the magic potion formula and extraordinary materials, as a result, but even got a stupid bird that only knows how to read the newspaper and watch the drama, damn, can’t wait to fill it with bottles of magic potion again! ” That owl was like a parrot, colorfully performing in the fat apothecary’s accent.
Fat Apothecary Duckwell’s expression stiffened for a few seconds and he chuckled:
”Just so you’re clear, silly bird!
”If I didn’t have the ability of a ‘beast tamer’, you wouldn’t be able to withstand a bottle of magic potion!”
Inside the herb store, one person and one animal fell into silence at the same time.
After a while, the owl pretended as if nothing had happened and said:
”Duckwell, is this really helpful? You’ve already commissioned dozens of adventurers.”
”It’s not like I’m good at searching for people, I can only commission them, and, I’ll only pay if I actually find, or confirm the old man’s whereabouts, and it won’t cost me a penny more than that!” The fat apothecary tsked, and then sighed, “The old man always claimed to be a lucky man and a winner of fate, so nothing should happen ……”
……
”Will the potion boiled out of these things really work?” On the carriage back to the Azure Wind Inn, Daniz looked at the paper bag that Klein had placed beside him and said.
Inside were black herbs, oddly shaped bug shells, and weirdly colored flowers, which always made people feel unreliable.
Klein nodded:
”Will do.”
”It’s not like you’ve ever drank …… it,” Danez retorted subconsciously.
I trust the fat pharmacist, he may have a foul and poisonous mouth, but his heart is still relatively kind …… Moreover, Captain Erland also thinks that his potion is effective enough …… As Germaine Sparrow, Klein didn’t respond to Daniz’s skepticism, and directly picked up the the paper bag and threw it over.
Without the need for words, Daniz understood that the guy across the table meant, you boil the medicine.
And he is also used to do similar things recently, there is no impulse to resist.
Back at the Azure Winds, Klein sat down in a chair and watched as Danitz lit the fireplace, hoisted the pot, and added water and herbs.
Leaning back, Klein felt dizzy and tired, as if he would fall asleep at any moment.
In order to wait for the potion to simmer and get rid of the sickness as soon as possible, he forced himself to think up all sorts of questions to overcome his drowsiness:
”Come to think of it, in this battle with the ‘Disease Lieutenant General’, if I hadn’t succeeded in my surprise attack and suppressed her from the start, so that she could never get into her own best rhythm, and didn’t have the chance to stealthily pull away until the very end, I probably wouldn’t have been a match for her.
”The two abilities of stealth and disease paired together are really Bug, together with the Assassin’s Fatal Strike, and Joy’s Holding Interference, it’s really that I can’t find it if I want to fight, and I can’t run away if I want to run away, I can only watch my body gradually weakening and contracting all kinds of diseases, and I’ll even be charmed by the other party and give up resisting… …
”This is partly because each Sequence 5 is strong, worthy of a rank close to that of a demigod, and partly because there are still obvious flaws in the pairing of the various abilities within ‘Creeping Hunger’, which is far from being comprehensive and without shortcomings.
”Well, the ‘Diviner’ pathway Sequence 5 ‘Master of Secret Puppets’ has an ability that very much restrains stealth ……
”Recently, I can help the fat pharmacist to find his teacher by the way, but under the premise of insufficient intelligence, almost only a picture, I can only take my chances and see when I meet a clue directly, after all, I’m not a god, I can’t find people out of thin air ……
”Wait, in a sense, I’m really a god!
”I can let the believers of the ‘God of the Sea’ help find ah, as long as that old gentleman called Roy King has come to Byam, always met someone, was seen by who, and most of the indigenous people secretly believe in the ‘God of the Sea’ …… It’s called the Ocean of the People ……
”Also, before Captain Erland leaves Bayam, have him introduce me to the military liaison staff, so I can seek reimbursement from them in the future if I have any news, and, by the way, check the ship’s passengers who have registered in recent months to see if there’s any such person as Roy King.
”There’s another way, the radio receiver has been sitting on top of the Gray Mist for a while now, take it down and you should be able to contact the Magic Mirror Aroldus, I was going to ask about Elaine’s whereabouts, but now instead of looking for the red-haired lady, we can change it to Roy King.
”Hey, what many adventurers have absolutely no clue about, I actually have a full three ways to find someone!”
……
Between the thoughts, Klein finally made it through until the potion was successfully blended.
Looking at the bottle of dark green and blackish liquid that Daniz brought over, he hesitated for two seconds, but still reached out to catch it and brought it to his mouth.
Gulp!
Klein instantly felt his throat burning like it was on fire, and his face flushed red all of a sudden.
It reminded him of the taste of trying out perverted spiciness in his previous life.
In a flash, his entire being sobered up, and his clogged nose flew open.
Gurgling …… he barely finished drinking, and he actually had the illusion that the disease was already half cured.
By the evening, he was completely cured, no longer have any doubt about the ability of the “pharmacist”.
No wonder the name of the magic potion is “The Apothecary” …… Klein put on his hat and left the inn with Danitz, heading out of Bayam in the night to a hidden private harbor on the other side of the jungle.
Tonight, the Golden Dream will provide aid to the Resistance.
After much coordination and maneuvering, Danitz used the séance to contact the Iceberg Admiral Edwina.
After a while, the ship, always neatly painted and with a strange main gun, sailed into the private harbor, with five gold coins depicted on the huge canvas: Gold Pound of Ruin, Gold Horn of Forsak, Firkin of Intis, Gold Riso of Feneport, and Sassenkin of Rumburgh.
This is the flag of the “Golden Dream” and the symbol of the pirate group.
If it were me, I would have added the Potter’s Gold of Marseilles, the Zloty of Segar, the patterned gold coins of the Byron Empire, and so on and so forth……. Crane stood beside the ship with his hands in his pockets, and watched as Edwina Edwards appeared at the bow of the ship.
At the moment, she was wearing a hunter’s hat and a waist-cinching rider’s shirt with a black jacket, very much in keeping with the image of a female pirate general in the minds of the Resistance.
Her usual attire would only have led one to think that she was a governess …… Klein muttered a word and took a few steps back, letting Danez run around and hustle.
With the great pirate with a bounty of 5,500 pounds hard at work docking, a shipment of grain and cloth was delivered to Karat and the rest of the resistance, and the deal came to an end.
Daniz took a quiet breath and came to Klein’s side, piling up a smile and said:
”Nothing else, right?
”I can go back to the ‘Golden Dream’ ship, right?
”And what about your hire for the last few days?”
That was just an excuse for your captain and I. In a sense, this grain and fabric is my payment …… Klein nodded:
”Your captain has already paid.
”You may return.”
”Really?” Daniz was actually a bit disbelieving.
Although “Iceberg Lieutenant General” Edwina was not far behind him, he was still afraid that this Gelman Sparrow guy would suddenly go crazy.
Kraven didn’t respond to him, turned his body around and walked straight to the road that led away from the private harbor.
Danitz exhaled silently and ran back to the Golden Dream at a fast pace, holding back his excitement.
Only when the ship was far away in the night, and the private harbor belonging to the Resistance was getting smaller and smaller, was he truly convinced that he had returned to the Golden Dream.
In this moment, he felt that he had experienced too many things in the past half a month, and this unprecedented excitement was like a wonderful dream.
At this time, a sailor leaned over and asked curiously:
”Chief, did you really kill ‘Steel’ McVittie?”
Daniz burst out laughing, stole a glance at the captain next to him, Edwina, and said to his men:
”I made a significant contribution in this matter, let’s talk about it over a drink!”
In the deep black sea, the “Golden Dream” ship traveled farther and farther away.
……
Back at the Azure Breeze, Klein was about to go to sleep when he suddenly saw the colors around him become very vivid.
The white sheets were whiter, the brown floor was more brownish, and the dark red curtains looked like blood. ……
In the scene of various color blocks superimposed on each other, Aztec Aegis stepped out of the suddenly rippling water waves of the void.
He still did the shirt, bow tie, tuxedo, and high bowler hat dress, with a bronze complexion and soft features.
Really envious ah …… I also want this kind of ability to travel through the spirit world …… Klein secretly let out a sigh of emotion, kept his appearance unchanged, smiled and greeted:
”Good evening, Mr. Azik.”
Azik removed his bowler hat and took one look at the rather unfamiliar face and unsurprisingly grinned:
”I apologize for my haste, I should have gone out and knocked on the door first.
”What was that batch of Reaper-related literature about exactly?”
Klein invited him to sit down as he described in detail what he couldn’t expand on in the letter, and at the end casually mentioned Banshee Harbor, saying that it involved the descendants of Medici, King of the Angels, and the K’s.
Azik leaned back in his chair and frowned slightly:
”I have that name in my memory, k should have the titles ‘Red Angel’ and ‘Angel of War’ ……
”However, k fell long ago.”
”Long fallen?” Klein asked back, stunned.
Azk nodded, thinking hard:
”As I recall, k was killed by the ‘Blood Emperor’ Alistair Tudor.”
Killed by ‘Blood Emperor’ Alistair Tudor? Klein’s pupils shrank, and he suddenly remembered the evil spirit that had been wandering around for thousands of years within the underground ruins of Beckland.
It claimed to be an innocent person killed by the “Blood Emperor”!
