Chapter 47: Gifts (Ask for Recommendations)
As the voice commanded, Chargin continued on his way.
Sure enough, when he stopped looking at the boxes on those shelves, the speed at which the spirit in his body disappeared instantly decreased a lot.
Soon, he followed the sound to a shelf, and saw the sealed crate that claimed to be a combination of various omniscient extraordinary characteristics such as 'voyeur', 'generalist', and 'reader'.
However, when Chalkin looked at the surface of the box, his face suddenly turned strange.
"Are you sure you're a seal, and not playing a prank on me?"
On the seal box in front of me, not only did there be no name of the seal, but there was not even a number or introduction!
If it weren't for the fact that the chest was indeed affixed with a seal made of 'black stone powder', with many symbols of secrecy and seals engraved on it, Chalkin would even think that there was a big living person hiding in the chest and playing a joke on him.
As if 'seeing' Chalkin's strange expression, the voice said disdainfully:
"Be grateful! A great being like me, just being understood, would be a great burden on your soul. β
...... Chalkin was speechless about the very narcissistic seal, which had the nature of being alive: "Well, Great Being, what did you call me for?
"Great being? That's what people used to call me, but you can call me the great Felenids. β
Chalkin was a little speechless, this seal's ability to climb up the pole is really unusual.
Thinking like this, Chalkin's feeling of being watched became even stronger.
It's like a kitten in a cardboard box, and the latter is probing his head through some 'gap' to look at him to a certain extent.
And this feeling of being watched made Chalkin almost pop out of his mouth a sentence of his hometown...... What do you see?
"You're special, I can't see through your path. β
"It's a humiliation for the voyeur, tell me what's in you. β
Asked what it was by a seal, Chalkin felt extremely awkward at this time, and in the face of this extremely impolite guy sealed in the box, Chalkin learned its tone and returned what he said to it as it was:
You should be thankful that a great being like me can be a great burden on your soul simply by being understood. β
The result, unexpected.
The seal, which claimed to be Felenides, was silent for a moment: "...... It's true, you really think so. What secrets are you hiding?"
This time Chalkin was noncommittal.
Faced with this strange seal, he was not sure if the other party was cheating him.
But Chalkin is sure of one thing, that is, this guy definitely has the ability to spy on people, and he does know a lot of Chalkin's secrets.
Seeing that Chalkin did not say anything, Felenides looked a little itchy, and said with great interest:
"Your secrets seem to be very unusual, and I am very interested in them. How about it? Do you want to make a deal?"
In the face of this proposal, Chalkin did not rush to refuse, although he knew that the other party was most likely planning to tempt, deceive, and take advantage of it, but he came here, and of course he would listen to the other party's words.
"Tell me, what a deal. Chalkin asked casually.
"I can give you any knowledge you want, answer your questions, and even help you get out of here," Felenides said in a seductive tone. β
"Any knowledge I want, help me get out of here," Chalkin looked at the cardboard box with a distrustful gaze.
Inside the cardboard box, Feleni said in a relaxed tone: "Yes, you are seeking the help of Old Tini and want to move up the ranks, don't you just want to escape from here?"
Chalkin was not bewitched by it, and said lightly: "If it were as easy as you say, you would not be sealed in this Chanis Gate." β
The owner of the voice, unfazed by the sarcasm of Charkin's words, said leisurely:
"How do you think a low-ranking extraordinary person who is about to die can be promoted to two full ranks in two years?"
Chalkin was shocked: "Old Tiny's sequence was promoted by you?"
"It's not that simple, as the rotating officer of Chanismans, guess why I can keep the 'alive' trait?"
Felenid's words were like a hammer: "Two years ago, Tini the Elder's life had come to an end. β
"At the cost of breaking some of my seals, he got more lives from me, a higher chance of advancement, and so on and so forth. β
In just a few words, the amount of information that Chalkin heard from Felenid's mouth was incomparably huge.
"Old Tini is now accumulating a lot of runaway and madness in his body, is it because of you?" Chalkin couldn't help but blurt out.
Felenid was a little dissatisfied, and said lightly: "You humans are really greedy, you want to prolong your life, but you don't want to pay the price.
"It's an equivalent deal, including the side effects of the Fountain of Knowledge potion recipe, and I didn't hide it until I gave it to him. β
As he spoke, Felenides added again in a seductive tone:
"Your secret, what will you change?"
"Edward's advanced potion recipe, if you promise, I can tell you right now. β
Or ...... I can give you back the freedom to interject a sentence, the latter without any risks and side effects. β
Hearing Felenid's words, Chalkin was a little moved.
He asked, "Since it's a deal, what is the price?"
With a snap, Chalkin heard a sound similar to snapping fingers coming from the box: "It's very simple, open the seal, and I'll take you away." β
"There's no risk in this because I'm going to run away, and this can only happen if I take you with me. Therefore, you are an accessory, and it is not good for me to harm you. β
Chalkin did not believe Felenid's words at all.
As long as it is a seal, it cannot be harmless.
For example, Schubert's pocket watch, which does not consume spirituality, but it needs to eat people to maintain its 'activity'.
Although Chalkin has just come to this world, he can still understand such basic truths.
His eyes flashed with excitement and distrust, and after a moment of silence, Chalkin said solemnly to Felenids, "I'll go back and think about it." β
Felenides did not seem surprised by Charkin's decision, and said in a nonchalant tone:
"Whenever you change your mind, you can come to me at any time. β
Without waiting for Charkin to nod his head in agreement, several things suddenly flew out of the box where Felenid was and landed in front of Chalkin.
"To prove my sincerity, I will give you a little gadget, and it will not be for you to chat with me for nothing. β
Chalkin looked down and saw what was on the ground:
Help Edward Howell advance the potion recipe, as well as a small octopus tentacle.
"Two small gifts, the former is proof that what I say is true. β
"The latter is a small seal I made with extraordinary materials from the prisoners in the black cell, the rank is barely 3rd order, and I also learned from you humans to make a number for it, you can call it 3-9999.
"Since you have a way to hide the spirit stone, let's play with it.
"It's not early, you can go back. β
PS: "I have a deal I want to talk to you about, tip me, give me a referral ticket! I can help you make a wish come true, or...... Leave your secrets in the comments section and let me take a good look. βFelenids
