Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 60 The Apothecary
"Chazzo Hoggen......" Hunter paused when he heard this, "Hoggen...... I've never heard of a Soul Descendant surname. ”
"Is it the Wild Soulborn?" Hunter glanced at Xia Zuo, then suddenly at Fred.
"Wait, Fred, you stinky boy can't have kidnapped him, a wild soul descendant who doesn't know the truth. Hunter said suddenly.
Do you think I'm someone who can be abducted so easily?
In fact, if Andrew or Fred knew what Xia Zuo was thinking at this time.
Eighty percent of them will say in unison, "yes, I think it's quite like that." ”
Fred is actually a friend comparable to Andrew, and not only loses, but also prefers to tease and tease people.
"Hehe, uncle, how can I call this abduction, I'm calling it sales, do you understand salesmanship? Fred smiled and said.
"Okay, okay, go aside. Hunter couldn't help but hold his forehead, "Uncle, I don't bother to pay attention to you." ”
"So now that the introduction is over, and I know each other, now hurry up and roll the calf, let's go, stinky boy. Hunter gave the eviction order abruptly, and then pushed Fred out with all his might.
"Eh, wait......" Fred said quickly, "I'm looking for your uncle for other things." ”
"It's been a bit of a run out of things lately...... So I want to come to you to see if there is anything interesting to do. Fred explained.
"Huh...... I know that I don't need this trick to drive you out, I'm afraid you won't get to the point for half a day, and you always like to tease me, an old uncle. Hunter couldn't help but sigh helplessly, "For your bastard daddy's sake, uncle, I'll help you see if there's anything okay." ”
"Wait a minute, I'll see......" Hunter stood up and walked over to the row of bookshelves next to his desk, paused slightly, and then took out what resembled an archive from the shelf.
"These days...... That's probably all for the most recent commissions or mysteries that seem to have something to do with ghosts (short for ghosts and ghosts). Hunter flipped through the dossier and showed one page of it to the others.
"From this page to the next five pages is all of the most recent. Hunter explained, "I won't recommend anything first...... Anyway, I know that you stinky boy won't listen to me. ”
"I was really spoiled when I was a child...... Back then, I told your dad to remember to teach you more lessons, or else, alas, ......," Hunter sighed slightly.
"Hehe......" Fred didn't seem to like people mentioning things about him when he was a child, Fred suddenly smiled coldly, "Uncle...... What did you just say? I seem to be a little deaf and can't hear clearly......"
"Uh-a-huh......" Hunter suddenly laughed dryly and explained, "No, it's fine. ”
This kid...... It's really exactly like his bastard dad at this point, forget it, the people of the Tanagus family...... Can't be provoked...... Once that power erupts, how many people can stop it.
Hunter muttered in his mind.
And in fact, Hunter still likes Fred very much, and treats Fred as if he were half a child of his own, so Hunter doesn't really care about Fred.
Fred flipped through the archival book of commissions and events, and suddenly there was a twinkle in his eyes, as if he had thought of something interesting.
"I said...... Xia Zuo. Fred suddenly turned his head, looked at Xia Zuo on the side, and smiled.
Ah, there was a sudden and inexplicable chill in my heart.
"Wait, wait...... Fred, what do you want to do?" Xia Zuo asked, holding his forehead, and then looked at Jasmine for help.
"Hey...... It's nothing, it's a good thing, trust me. Fred smiled, and suddenly threw the file to Xia Zuo.
Seeing this, Xia Zuo hurriedly took the archive in a hurry, and then clamped his fingers to the previous page to prevent the archive from returning to its original state and requiring Xia Zuo to turn the page again.
"What are you doing here?" Xia Zuo looked at the file in front of him and couldn't help but ask Fred.
There are many commissions and events in this archive, starting with the one Hunter opens and the last five pages are commissions and events from the last few days, and some of these commissions and events should be of interest to Fred.
Why did Fred throw this archival book to me instead??
"Hey...... Let's take a look at it and make a choice, choose which commission or event to solve......" Fred smirked slyly.
"Huh??" Xia Zuo couldn't help but be confused.
What the hell, why should I choose, what if the choice is not very good...... Xia Zuo complained and muttered in his heart.
"Well, you've been involved in the commissions we accept at the Night Veil since you joined the team, and wouldn't it be nice to make your own decisions and take on a commission once in a while?" Fred said with a smile.
"Uh, wait...... Then will our acceptance of this commission affect the work of our detective agency?" Xia Zuo asked involuntarily.
"As long as we are on our side, we will not accept new commissions for the time being, or we will not accept new commissions that require us to play together for the time being...... Then there is no problem...... In addition, in fact, what is the real job of our soul hunters, which is to hunt down dangerous soul creatures that threaten humanity and destroy the world, as long as we solve these commissions, that is, solve these events that may be related to ghosts, then we are also working?" Fred said with a smile.
"So take it. Fred encouraged Xia Zuo.
"So why don't you choose for yourself? Xia Zuo couldn't help but ask helplessly.
"Because it's kind of fun. Fred smiled, "It feels like this is a bit of a lottery and gambling, it's quite exciting." ”
"Oh yes, and remember, if it doesn't work out, it's all up to you. Fred suddenly opened his mouth and quickly explained.
Burst...... You're a sinkhole, are you such a fool? Ruthless, brother.
"I'm really convinced of you......" Xia Zuo had to helplessly look at the commissions or events recorded in the archives.
Xia Zuo's gaze swept away, although he found that many of the commissions in it seemed to be related to ghosts, but with his own intuition, Xia Zuo felt that these were fake, and he was not interested in them at first glance.
Xia Zuo had no choice but to look at the other pages.
In the future.
Obviously, the rest is the main thing.
... ...
"On May 5, 343 calendar, Viscount Carlton's commission: Viscount Carlton suffered from insomnia and nightphobia, and one of the guards disappeared for no reason, suspected to have become a ghost target, and it was recommended to deal with it immediately. ”
“......”
"On May 6, 343 A.D., a mysterious huge black shadow appeared in Leiden District, which was large in size and appeared to have huge wings, and appeared only once at dusk, witnessed by local workers. ”
"Based on comprehensive considerations, it is recommended to postpone the treatment, and the possibility of delusion is not ruled out. ”
... ...
"On May 6, 343 calendar, Stevenni Street, Anli District, the underground waterway is suspected of harboring ghostly beasts, and it is recommended to deal with it urgently. ”
“......”
What are these things, I'm going, top secret report files? Won't I be killed when I see this kind of thing?
Ahh
That said that the world of the Soul Descendant was really "wonderful".
Xia Zuo looked at it and suddenly couldn't help but hold his forehead.
Suddenly, Xia Zuo's gaze froze, and his gaze stayed on the commission of one of the pages.
That's a strange commission.
The client's name is "Aniza Hilton".
A wealthy burgher class who claims to be a beautiful and mature lady.
She also has a profession that ordinary people are not qualified for: "pharmacist".
"Pharmacist" is a relatively rare profession in human society, similar to doctors, they are good at using various drugs, concocting a variety of potions with different effects, among which the healing potions for treating human wounds are the most famous.
Apothecary, to the Soulborn, is similar to the Elixir among humans.
Of course, it does not mean that all the potions that pharmacists make are good, and many good pharmacists will not only concoct antidotes to various poisons, but also make these poisons themselves.
A good pharmacist is often also a poison pharmacist.
There is some truth to this statement.
Ms. Inisa's commission was to help her get the potion materials she wanted, and she herself could provide clues to the materials to help the person receiving the commission find the materials she was looking for more easily.
There may seem nothing strange about such a commission, and it is only natural for a pharmacist to want some ingredients for concoction.
It's just that, strangely, the materials and material clues described in the commission.
"Ask for a heart of flames, a copy of the primordial substance of a fire goblin, and the size and weight are arbitrary. ”
"Clue: Come and ask me. ”
"Reward: Do you want power?"
Ahh
It looks like a magician preparing the materials for a magical experiment.
And you have this clue, what the hell clue, come and ask me?
If you don't want to say it or don't have a clue, just say it...... Such a scoundrel.
And your reward...... I'll go, I'm really too lazy to complain...... You just don't have any money, and if you talk nonsense that you have a lot of pay, that's better than this.
Did you write that about pay?
I don't think you want to hire someone to help at all.
This commission is definitely the strangest one Xia Zuo has ever seen.
Xia Zuo raised his head, looked at Hunter on the side, and asked.
"Uncle Hunter, I have a question......"
Hearing Fred call Hunter uncle, Xia Zuo also began to get used to calling him like this.
In addition to Hunter, Jasmine and the others also looked over.
"Well, what's the matter? You just ask, I've compiled all the records here. Hunter smiled and bowed his head slightly, picked up the teacup with tea on the table, and took a sip, looking unfazed.
"What's the matter with this pharmacist named Nissa Hilton?"
"Ahem!" Hunter almost squirted out of his tea.
"Ah......hhhh First of all, I didn't write it, she wrote it herself. Hunter said with a slight wipe of his mouth.
"As I get older, I'm starting to be tolerant of you young people, and I can't resist this girl. ”
"Although I don't think it's useful to write it, there's a good chance that no one will want to accept her commission......"
"It's normal you don't know her, she probably moved to Norne Street in the last week. ”
"She's actually just like us, she's a soulborn, and she's also an elixir master. ”
Soulborn Elixir?I see, then it's no wonder that these supernatural things are not normal just by looking at the name......
Xia Zuo thought.
But I'm also a Soul Descendant...... Why haven't I heard of any Flame Hearts or Elves or something?
Is it because I don't have enough experience or what......
Well...... It's possible, after all, I'm still a newcomer, and although I have made up some knowledge of the soul descendants, I don't have much.
"But ......," Hunter's voice abruptly paused.
"But?" Xia Zuo asked after a pause.
Why did it stop all of a sudden......? What's the problem?
"But she doesn't admit that she's a soul descendant at all, and she calls the ghost a goblin......" Hunter suddenly raised his forehead.
"I once suspected that she was instilled with some kind of mess by her parents when she was a child......"
"So much so that she will ......"
"Such a guilty two. ”
Xia Zuo couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
