Chapter Fifty-Six: Attending the Meeting Again
These were Bonnie's thoughts, and it was clear that a ten-year-old girl had reached the age of mastering the manners of these ladies.
"Is it corn oatmeal or jam toast for breakfast today?"
Looking at the two who had sorted out their clothes and went downstairs, Chris, who was already preparing in the kitchen, asked.
"I'm going to eat jam toast. Bonnie said, and then warmed the milk of the three this morning next to Chris.
"I'm casual. Bert said, walked to the door, and took out the Federenburg Morning Post, which he had ordered today, from his mailbox.
Chris slice through the toast and spread Bonnie's favorite strawberry jam and buttery cheese on each other, as he opens the gas valve and begins to fry eggs on the pan.
In a few moments, three cups of hot milk and three plates with fried eggs and jam toast appeared on the table.
Breakfast is very important in the Republic of Ireland, as most people only have breakfast and dinner in a day.
Because all three of them are growing up, Chris forces that Bert and Bonnie have to go home for lunch every day at noon.
The eating customs here can be summed up as having a full breakfast, sloppy lunch, and a good dinner.
If there is a major banquet, it will be held at night, and it is precisely because of the dispensable lunch time that the "afternoon tea" is gradually born.
Afternoon tea is usually at 3 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, drinking a cup of coffee or authentic milk tea, and also taking this opportunity to connect with each other's feelings.
With the popularity of afternoon tea, celebrities and ladies from all over the world began to follow suit, and such gatherings became more formal and more luxurious.
Afternoon tea was also gradually moved from the boudoir to the living room, where the gentlemen and ladies of high society gathered together to enjoy the beautiful afternoon with grace.
"Do you feel any different after entering Sequence 8?" asked Bonnie, who was drinking hot milk after breakfast, looking at Chris.
Today, Bonnie is wearing a yellow cinched waist pleated skirt with layers of petticoats inside, and Chris looks like he is looking at the beautiful Barbie doll that girls in his previous life loved.
Bert, who was sitting quietly on the couch reading the newspaper, also looked up at Chris, obviously they were all concerned about the issue.
Chris thought for a moment and said:
"Probably because of the awakening of the three magical elements, I had a sense of intimacy with the flames when I was cooking, and now, I seem to be able to feel some of the air currents flowing. ”
"It's so amazing that I want to become a 'master surgeon' as soon as possible, so that I can become a real doctor in a community hospital. ”
"Looks like your wish is coming true. ”
Looking at the puzzled two, Bert spread out the "Fedrenburg Financial News" in his hand, pointed to an advertisement in the gap, and continued:
"I suspect it's a gathering started by the Wild Extraordinary. ”
Chris got up and took the newspaper, only to see an ordinary advertisement for mahogany furniture on it, according to the previous principle, he spelled together the first and last letters, and it was still the same familiar sentence.
It seems to be the gathering of the extraordinary, organized by the old gentleman Gabriel, and the time is tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Chris connected the numbers that appeared in it, and there was a knock on the door.
Having attended this kind of wild extraordinaire many times with his teacher a year ago, Chris is now familiar with the process of this kind of gathering.
It had been seven months since the teacher had left Federenburg, and during these seven months, Chris was cautious and did not participate in such gatherings again, for fear that the being or organization that the teacher had to leave would still have his eyes on Fedlenburg.
And just yesterday, since the teacher sent him a letter and a prepared potion, as well as Bert and Bonnie's potion recipes, it shows that Federenburg is safe!
Thinking of this, Chris looked up and found that Bert beside him had cast the same gaze.
It seems that both of them want to go together.
At four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, in a private meeting room in the eastern district of Federenburg.
The dim candlelight flickered out, and the faint dim light illuminated the room.
Chris and Bert sat in the corner of the room, and there were more than a dozen people in the party today, all dressed in voluminous robes and wearing different masks.
It is still the same old Mr. Gabriel who is presiding over today's meeting in the center.
"First of all, welcome everyone to this temporary extraordinary gathering for their trust in the old man. I'm Gabriel, the appraiser. I'm sure most of them are old friends, but here I would like to introduce the process and principles of the meeting......"
At the end of each of Gabriel's presentations, one of the young men was the first to speak:
"I'd like to buy a potion recipe for a 'Scholar' or 'Reader' for a friend, and it would be nice if I had a follow-up potion recipe. I can play 200 gold pounds in sequence 9, I can play 450 gold pounds in sequence 8, and I can play 700 gold pounds if there are both and the same sequence. ”
Hearing this, Bert couldn't help but look at Chris beside him, and after suddenly realizing that his movements were inappropriate, Bert immediately pretended to move the muscles and bones in his neck.
Similarly, Chris was also stunned in his heart, isn't this God going to give him gold pounds?
However, for this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing, Chris is still ready to resist the temptation of money and observe it first.
While it's normal for the Extraordinary to have potion recipes from other sequence pathways, for newcomers like them, it's more likely to be.
So if he and Bert take it out and sell it now, it is likely to arouse the suspicion of others.
After a minute no one answered, Gabriel, who was sitting in the center, laughed:
"It seems that this friend doesn't know that these two sequential paths have been firmly controlled by the Church of Steam and the Mechanical God, even if some wild extraordinary people accidentally become 'scholars' or 'readers', they will be recruited by the church, if they can become official extraordinary people, who wants to live a life of fear?"
When the young man heard this, he was not much disappointed, and replied:
"I know what you mean, and I'll tell you the truth, I had this in mind when I sought the recipe for these two sequences of potions for my friend. ”
It turns out that the extraordinaries of these two sequences are so sought-after. Chris thought to himself.
No, I can't say that, I think all Orthodox churches do that!
In this way, almost all of the extraordinary beings in the path of the righteous God are firmly under the control of their respective churches.
According to one of the laws of conservation of extraordinary properties mentioned by the teacher:
With more high sequences, fewer low sequences, and vice versa.
Because of the conservation of extraordinary characteristics, the major churches can effectively control the number and proportion of low-level and middle-level extraordinary people in this pathway, which can cope with some external changes at any time at some special times.
Like war!
Even a god war!
After a few more extraordinaries sold or bought, Bert, who was beside Chris, spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Who knows the extraordinary material of the Shadow of Human Skin and the Raging Bear, or knows some clues about them?"
The reason why Bert asked instead of Chris was because Chris's voice knew that he was very immature when he heard it, and Bert, who had just passed his fourteenth birthday, was obviously much better.
And the extraordinary materials purchased today are only one of the main materials of the "Master Surgeon" and the "Arcane Knight", and for those who don't know their detailed potion recipes, they really can't guess what the way is, which is what Oliver taught Chris in the first place.
Just a few seconds after the words fell, the voice of one of the old women sounded:
"I have a clue about the shadow of someone, but I don't know if the news is true or not, and no one present can judge, I don't know if you want to buy this information? The price is 20 gold pounds. ”
Chris was distressed when he heard this, and a piece of news that he didn't know whether it was true or false cost 20 gold pounds, which an ordinary worker might not necessarily earn after twenty or thirty weeks of hard work.
After glancing at Bert, he heard Bert's hoarse voice sound: "Yes." ”
Although it is very painful to spend money, it is still necessary to take a risk, not only the clues are also available but not available.
Then he saw the waiter beside Gabriel walking towards the old woman with a pen and paper, and after the old woman had finished writing, the male waiter in a black mask walked up to Bert.
