Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 110 – Three Promotions in One Week
Does the fact that I only accepted the commission the day before yesterday have anything to do with when I find someone? If I hadn’t spent a day waiting for Will Ensettin, the Serpent of Destiny, to locate me, I would have been 24 hours ahead of schedule……. That’s professionalism! Klein responded flatly:
”You can choose not to listen.”
Fat pharmacist Duckwell’s subsequent words were choked back, and his face muscles moved as he said:
”Go ahead.”
Klein said flatly:
”I have received news that Roy King has been secretly captured by the military and is currently being held inside the Governor’s Palace.”
The news he received from the magic mirror Arodes …… he silently added in his heart.
”Really?” Once again, Duckwell couldn’t control himself, his eyes rounded and he asked rhetorically offhandedly.
Klein nodded imperceptibly:
”My sources are reliable enough.”
”But I can’t confirm it ……,” Duckwell said hesitantly.
”Because it involves an important seal of the ‘School of Life’.” Klein said bluntly.
The fat apothecary was instantly startled and took two steps back, looking left and right warily, fearing that the words he had just spoken would be overheard by someone.
Is this kind of thing something that can just be said on the street? He is clear that we are from the School of Life, and he is clear that the old man is involved in an important sealing object …… I all learned …… about it when I last contacted him Duckwell gradually believed the information provided by the adventurer in front of him.
Klein swept a glance at the owl that had flown down from the roof to land on the fat apothecary’s shoulder and said:
”You may pay the reward.”
”I can’t confirm it, it’s not possible for me to believe whatever you say ……,” Duckwell said with a stiff upper lip.
Then he saw the eyes of the adventurer across from him turn unusually cold.
The fat apothecary winced and busily muttered:
”Well, barely, you’ve completed the commission.”
He painfully pulled out a large handful of cash from the concealed pocket of his countryside witch doctor’s robe and counted out 100 pounds to Klein in bits and pieces.
Although he is an extraordinary person, but his profession is “pharmacist” and “animal tamer”, the physical quality of the improvement can not be fully reflected in the front battle, may not be able to win over the ordinary people with revolvers, and tamed extraordinary pets, but also a little combat effectiveness of the guy! The opposite side is an experienced channel many adventurers, the probability is also extraordinary, one person and an owl tied together may not be a rival, only what the other side said is what.
I am not easy to save the money ah …… he lamented in his heart.
Do “pharmacist” is indeed very lucrative, to the overseas colonies is even more so, here pirates, sailors and adventurers, a large number of mixed personnel, the official organization is more relaxed management, he can sell some prohibited drugs without worrying about who is looking for the door, only those guests of the Red Theatre, in the last two months to provide him with the business let him earned more money than in the previous year.
However, as an extraordinary person, his expenses are also huge, the previous savings have already been consumed by the promotion of “beast tamer”, and then he got a pet, and worked hard to help it to buy recipes, mix magic potions, and purchased self-defense talismans and other items, so he can really save up only a few hundred pounds.
Klein received those cash and took the opportunity to verify the authenticity by counting the points before putting it in his pocket and turning around to leave.
Seeing his back disappear at the mouth of the alley, Fat Apothecary Duckwell’s expression instantly sank.
”This place is too dangerous ……” “Too dangerous ……” “Must leave as soon as possible!” He muttered under his breath as he retraced his steps back inside the herb store, entering the inner room, dragging out his brown suitcase, and quickly stuffing it with various items of clothing and neatly folded cash.
Finally, he emptied the change box of small bills and copper pennies of various currencies into his coat pocket, grabbed his overpriced identification papers, and carried the brown suitcase out of the folkloric herbalist’s store.
Looking back at the various potion materials that had not yet been sold out, Duckwell’s chubby face visibly twitched.
He sucked in a breath, resisted the pain of locking the front door behind him, and headed straight for the entrance of the alleyway, stopping a rental wagon and heading for the Byam Passenger Ticket Company.
”Too dangerous, too dangerous, the old man is caught ……” “Caught ……” he sat in the carriage and Repeatedly and silently to himself, hidden some shivering.
In such a state, he finally came to the ticket company, just as soon as the payment of the fare, the quick step near running rushed into the hall, lined up to go to the east of Byron in front of the window of the passenger ship.
Inhale, exhale …… Inhale, exhale …… Duckwell took a succession of deep breaths and moved step by step right behind the ticket buyers in line in front of him.
”Buy the nearest ship.” He emphasized to himself.
Stopping and moving forward, Dakwil grew quiet.
His expression suddenly twisted, then quickly calmed, twisted again, and calmed again.
When there was only one ticket buyer left in front of him, Duckwell’s feet froze in place.
”Stupid ass! You stupid ass!” He cursed to himself and jerked his body around, carrying his suitcase, grabbing his identification papers, and walking out of the ticket hall.
……
Crane didn’t really care how Fat Pharmacist Duckwell was going to save his teacher, Roy King, he didn’t think it was his place to think about that.
”Behind them is the ‘School of Life’, even if there has been a recent split, it is still an ancient organization with a history of hundreds or thousands of years, born at the beginning of the Fifth Era, and possesses a deep heritage, so the Fat Apothecary will naturally be able to find someone to help him… …If the ‘School of Life’ doesn’t work, it’s useless for me to move the entire Tarot Society out, there’s no need to worry blindly, the military has a half-god, half-human …… in Bayam, of course, he may not be in the Governor’s mansion, perhaps living in the military base inside.” Kline in the carriage pulled out the money clip and looked at the thousand paper cranes inside, considering whether to immediately throw it back above the gray mist.
Let’s wait a little longer, maybe Will Onsettin, the “snake of fate” is going to give me some benefits …… Next time, remember to prepare pencils, I have overlooked this problem before, a thousand paper cranes can not be so big, with a pen soon there will be no place to write information …… then can not take the initiative to contact Will Onsettin, can only be passive waiting, and I can not always put this crane on the body, after a few days will have to be sent back to the gray fog above the clutter, after all, can not always let Will Onsettin locate me, be careful for the sake of …… Klein made a quick decision to return to the Azure Winds, pack his bags, and check out of the luxury suite.
He was relieved that Daniz had partially prepaid for the room on his second visit, and that he was only out five sous.
Soon after, Klein changed neighborhoods to Ottom Street, near the Balsam Leaf Bar, and stayed at a hotel called “Tejana”, where he asked for a clean but ordinary room for only 2 Soules and 2 pence per day, with an extra glass of wine. The juice of a giant fruit called “Tejana” was also included in the price of the room.
Drinking the slightly sweet milky juice, Klein didn’t need to care about his image any more, and slumped into the easy chair in the room, deciding to spend the next two hours in a daze and catching up on some sleep, before going to the Gray Mist to browse through the prayers of the believers, and experiencing the feeling of a thousand faces.
……
Becklander, Wyatt’s House.
Emlyn looked at the blood-red “jewel” that appeared inside the altar, as if she heard her own blood resonating with it.
Thanking Mr. Fool, he picked up the jewel, sensing the peculiarities that flowed through it, convinced that it was a relic of a Blood Baron.
”All that is needed is to prepare the appropriate inheritance rituals or auxiliary magical materials, and I will be a Baron, and that will not be difficult, at this stage.” Emlyn thought with anticipation and smugness, “According to the human system, I’ll be a Sequence 6 Extraordinary by then, and the corresponding title will be, ‘Professor of Magic Potions’!”
……
Turning to another Monday, on the Misty Sea, a fleet of ships was traveling through the thin fog and the blue ocean.
Their flagship was a huge sailing ship with a unique flag depicting an eye that surrounded ten stars without eyelashes.
”General Above the Stars” Gadelia stood by the window of the captain’s cabin, quietly watching the sunlight that shone through the mist until the wall clock on the wall made the sound of a cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo.
She glanced at the time and quickly converted it to Loon time, then drew the curtains closed and sat down behind her desk.
The table, made of red wood, held a brass-colored sextant and a light-blue planetarium, the latter with large expanses of blank space on its surface, areas that hadn’t yet been explored or couldn’t be explored.
Gadelia reached out with her fingers and fiddled with the planetarium, then, half-closing her eyes, waited for the Fool to convene.
It wasn’t long before a raging tide of crimson light surfaced before her eyes, completely drowning her, who had been prepared for it.
As she adjusted to the change, the sacred palace supported by stone pillars reappeared in her vision, and the ancient bronze table appeared.
”In the light and lively greeting of Miss Justice, Gadelia also greeted Mr. Fool, who was still shrouded in a grayish mist.
With a brief glance, her black, slightly violet eyes contracted.
She noticed that the “Inverted Man”, “Moon”, and “Sun” on the opposite side of the room all had a slight overflow of spirituality, very different from the last time!
This indicated that they had all been promoted!
This indicated that their promotions had been in the last few days!
”In just one week, all three members of the Tarot Club have received promotions, and ‘Inverted Man’ and ‘Moon’ may even have reached Sequence 6 …… Is this a coincidence! Is it a coincidence? Is it a coincidence that they all took magic potions in the same week? Probabilistically speaking, it’s possible, the materials that ‘Moon’ and ‘Sun’ begged for last time can prove it, but it’s also enough to show that the Tarot Club members’ promotion speed is fast, otherwise there’s no way it could be so coincidental… …
”Of course, below Sequence 5, the extraordinary who accurately mastered the playing method and did not lack resources, it is not surprising that promotion is fast …… Sequence 6 to Sequence 5 onwards, it must be assisted by rituals, and digestion becomes more and more difficult, and it is difficult to have something like this happen again… … “The Hidden One” Gadelia withdrew her gaze.
Audrey “Justice” then apologized to Mr. “Fool” for not having contacted the members of the “Psycho-Alchemy Society” recently to provide Roselle’s diary. “Forsythe the Magician apologizes to Mr. Fool for not being able to contact the members of the Mental Alchemy Society for Roselle’s diary, as well as to Forsythe the Magician, whose teacher’s replies to her letters have been slow, and the cold weather has made her reluctant to go outside.
Derek “The Sun”, who had just been promoted and had a lot of things to deal with, was unable to get the new ancient mythological information, and Klein “The Fool” could only nod his head calmly.
Seeing this, Derek sighed in relief and turned his head to look at the very bottom of the long bronze table:
”Mr. ‘World’, I got the way you wanted to separate the mental contamination of the out-of-control people within the extraordinary properties.”
Don’t say it so directly …… The expression of “Fool” Klein at the top of the bronze table nearly froze.
Although the little “sun” you have long let “justice” lady and “inverted man” Mr. they know this matter, but the “hermit” lady not just joined? But didn’t Ms. “The Hidden One” just join in? Klein resisted the urge to cover his face.
