Chapter 228: Finding the Artisan Shop
"In this case, the 'Gambler' path keeps following my 'Scholar' promotion and is automatically promoted, is it because of the 'Wheel of Fortune'?!
"I remember that he said before that when I arrived in Sequence 7, I would know the reason for the promotion of 'Gambler', on the one hand, I thought that I would be purified by him when I reached Sequence 7, and on the other hand, it may be that Sequence 7's spiritual vision can enter the spiritual body.
"What he didn't expect was that the 'Wheel of Fortune' automatically chose me, and then let me also have the ability to be a 'gambler'.
"I just don't know if he can still use the extraordinary abilities of the 'gambler', and it's no wonder that he is now as lost as a frosted eggplant......"
Chris analyzed here, and he roughly knows the current situation of his body, and there should be no problems for the time being, and he has not yet thought about the disposal of the other soul.
Or rather, even if he did that kind of thing, Chris was not willing to purify him immediately.
"My top priority now is to familiarize myself with the extraordinary abilities of the 'Mechanical Expert' as soon as possible, and then cooperate with the Wardhouse team to track down and arrest the 'Gate of Hades'. As for Sally, she can only act at the opportunity, and she can make the team so jealous, and I am definitely not her opponent at the moment. ”
Because Officer Andre was out on duty yesterday, Chris and the others did not go to the police station to learn marksmanship, and Bonnie still went to the church hospital in the new week to study with Dean Dalton.
On Monday morning, Chris did not go home directly, but waited at the police station for James and them to come over, and then gave him a brief account of the task given to him by the corps.
"That's right. James said, looking at Chris.
In fact, he was reluctant to let Chris follow the team to perform such a dangerous mission, although Chris was already an extraordinary person of the same level as himself, but after all, he had only joined the "Punisher" for more than two months, lacked combat experience, and because of his age, physical strength was also a weakness.
"Have you thought about it? It's a very dangerous task. James reminded, and Bert, who was on the side, looked worried.
Looking at the worried eyes of the captain and his companions, Chris nodded and said in a firm tone:
"I've thought it through, and now the enemy must think that I'm just a Sequence 8 extraordinary, and I can definitely achieve a surprise effect when fighting. And there is also the corps and his old man taking the lead, so you don't have to worry about my safety. ”
What Chris didn't say was that he would likely meet Sally, the "witch of disaster", in the future.
If she knew that Sophia's child was still alive and would definitely not let her go, then she might as well take the initiative and sit back and passively accept her fate, which is not his style.
Besides, for his mother, for himself, for Ryan, and for Cole, who suffered from these disasters, killing Sally is the only thing he wants to do now, and what he wants to do the most.
And behind Sally is the evil organization "Gates of Hades", so Chris resolutely chose to accept the mission of Wardhouse.
Escaping will never solve the problem, only by not being afraid of danger and facing difficulties can we truly overcome fate, Chris clenched his fists.
"Alright then, you'll follow the team for the rest of the year and follow his arrangement. James looked at Chris, who had already made a decision, and said in a deep voice, "It's just that in the past few days, you have familiarized yourself with and mastered the new extraordinary abilities, so that whether it is fighting or saving your life, the chances of winning are better." ”
Chris nodded in agreement, then said goodbye to his teammates and walked out the back door of the police station and down the street back home.
On this day, Chris was taking the extraordinary characteristics of the "thief" given by Wardhouse, and experimenting with the extraordinary abilities of his "mechanical expert".
"How on earth can you make extraordinary properties into magical objects?" said Chris lying on the table with a sad face, staring at the jelly-like translucent solid in front of him.
"Alas, the corps doesn't teach me how to make it, do I still need some special tools?, etc., I am a 'mechanical expert', I remember that two years ago the teacher had a slip of the tongue, saying that he was still called a 'craftsman'...... So, I should go to a master craftsman and learn how to make things?"
Thinking of this, Chris no longer hesitated, picked up the cap on the table, walked out of the room, and went to the street to find an artisan shop.
It's now close to noon, and the weather in September is no longer hot, and even a little cooler.
There weren't many pedestrians on the streets, and most of the workers were hastily eating near the factories and waiting for the afternoon work. Because most of them are not close to home, and the workers are certainly reluctant to take the public carriage, they generally do not choose to go home at noon.
So the shops on the street are also a little deserted, Chris is wearing a casual jacket today, a gray peaked cap, and a pair of cheap brown rubber shoes under his feet, after all, he is not going to be a customer in the artisan shop.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Chris came to a shop called "Goldfinger Artisan Shop".
Chris walked in and saw several apprentices in the hall surrounding a middle-aged man in his forties, who was using a sharp carving knife to make a poplar wooden cane. The cane is almost finished, and the master is pouring lead into the head of the cane to add weight and feel.
Around the hall, there are walking sticks of different materials and shapes, or other handmade tables and chairs, as well as exquisite knick-knacks of wood products.
Chris knows that in this world, the cane is not only a functional aid, but also a prop that can represent the status of the owner, so this kind of artisan shop makes more, that is, the cane with better sales and more demand, and even the most ordinary cane is not cheap.
"Do you need to buy or order something?" asked one of the apprentices, seeing Chris entering the door.
Chris, who was looking left and right, smiled kindly, looked at the apprentice and said:
"I want to find the owner of your shop, there is something that troubles him. ”
After hearing this, the young apprentice turned his head and shouted to the middle-aged craftsman:
"Teacher, this guest has something to do with you. ”
The middle-aged craftsman did not stop the work at hand, and after it took five minutes to complete the final process, he handed over the made cane to several of his apprentices for polishing and cleaning, and then after washing his hands, the shopkeeper walked over, looked at the immature Chris, and asked unceremoniously:
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
