Chapter 116: Planning
When Donald entered the door, he only saw the gray mist spreading over the Book of Darkness (pseudo), and the negative energy attachment that the old man said was in progress.
"So fast, it seems that I have lost my eyes, I am young, I didn't expect to be a veteran. ”
The seal of the hands is non-stop, but the speed is much slower, and it often takes several seconds to change the seal.
"With so many seals, you're the veteran...... Don't you need to chant?"
Most of the spells that Donald is currently learning are based on magic seals, that is, spell-casting actions, and are released by spiritual power infusion, which makes him a little puzzled, after all, in his previous life, those mages often have matching chanting spells when casting spells.
"Chanting? This is not a church magic, how can you need to chant, almost, according to your request, I just added some negative energy to it, try to feel it. ”
The old man finished the final seal, and the gray fog finally cleared, and handed the book to Donald.
Thinking about what kind of spell is the magic in his heart, Donald took the Book of Pitch Black (Pseudo) with both hands, and after special processing, the current cover and back do feel cool, especially the pitch-black leather on the front, and when the palm is covered, you can still faintly see the wisps of gray mist overflowing.
"Was that a special recipe before?"
Turning the pages of the book and seeing the same changed pages inside, Donald thought of the medicinal powder that the old man had knocked out before, which seemed really unusual.
"Of course, I improved it from other recipes, you want?"
The old man is not shy about talking about his ability to press the bottom of the box.
"Are you selling? Aren't you afraid that others will learn to steal your business?"
"Grab business, hey, you don't think that getting the formula is useful, I have more than 20 years of craftsmanship, French seals, all kinds of formulas, and the grasp of the final product, other people spend money to buy my formula, I can't ask for it, because those people will find that only I am the most similar in the end, and the asking price of a single order is so high now, all rely on my peers. ”
This is the confidence of the craftsman.
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to after I take it back, I will use it in about two days, and before that, it won't be invalid, right?"
Before leaving, Donald was going to ask for some precautions.
"Don't worry, within a month, as long as you don't use holy water to restrain negative energy, you will definitely be fine...... Try to avoid direct sunlight, and it seems to have been cloudy for the last few days, so you can rest assured that you can leave without any problems. ”
The old man turned to the table and began to clean up the things on the table, and all that was left of the previous pile of powder after burning was black dregs.
**
Before going out, Donald consciously glanced at the northern part of Preston City, under the gray sky in the evening, the sunset sun was shining through the clouds, but it did not penetrate the ground, and only faintly saw some pale red in the sky.
A kite is stranded somewhere in the northern city, with two cloth bands behind it, fluttering back and forth.
Stop a car and go up and tell the driver to go to the northern city, this kite is a signal, Donald and Oguf agreed on the signal, if there is any new information, Oguf will have a white kite in the northern city, in order to distinguish it from ordinary kites, two gray strips of cloth are tied to the back.
The two met in a tavern in the northern city, where there were so many people that as long as they didn't speak too loudly, they wouldn't be heard even if someone was following them.
Oguf and Donald sat on either side of a small bar, each of them ordered a drink, it was not yet evening, but because it was evening, there were many guests who came for dinner, and the waiters were interspersed with the crowd, and the men could be heard talking and laughing everywhere.
"Your Excellency, last night I went here with Mr. Rastolle to find the soothsayer...... This man was in a very special situation, a member who had joined the church six months ago, a young man, about 25 years old, with two beards and brown hair, and he ...... There is no reply on another part of the Book of Darkness, vague. ”
Oguf pushed a piece of paper as he described the soothsayer's appearance, and Donald looked down at an address on it.
Oguf kept looking around, visibly nervous, as if he was watching for someone to follow him.
After all, his behavior can be regarded as a formal betrayal of the master who has been with him for three years, and there must be some psychological pressure.
"Vague...... What does that mean, in detail, and how does Rastolle show about it. ”
Donald was intrigued by the soothsayer, how he knew that the Preston City Library contained a book in the dark, as it seemed that only the late Mr. and Mrs. Grant knew about it.
He had reported this to the Shea sect a month ago, why was it a month ago? It's been a few years since Mr. and Mrs. Grant died!
Divination?Donald didn't think that there would be such a powerful soothsayer in Preston City, or a cultist of the Thea Church, if he could really get this special information through mysterious divination, what was the two years that Infinita's church was?
At that time, the soothsayer said that he needed to perform a second divination, but the success rate was extremely low, and Mr. Rastor agreed, and gave him a week to do the divination, saying that no matter whether he succeeded or failed, he should report it as soon as possible. ”
"Secondary Divination...... Is there anyone else near where the soothsayer lives?"
Donald was determined to visit the friend.
"Yes, Mr. Rastolle assigned him some guards. ”
This is probably not only protection, but also surveillance, and it is not surprising that Rastolle values the Book of Darkness too much.
"When I was outside just now, I noticed that one of your people was following me, you sent it?"
Donald brought up the stalker's situation, and now they still follow.
"Stalking, you misunderstood, how dare I follow you, it must be someone else, Cuito's men! His recent conflict with Mr. Rastore has been on the surface, I think it may be that you were targeted by him when you came to the cellar a few nights ago, and I have traitors in my ranks, do you need to send someone to ......"
Oguf is really experienced in this area, Donald just said casually, he thought of Quito, and then from the premise that Kuito knew about Donald's existence, he thought of the leak, at that time Donald knew that only his team and Rastorle came to the cellar, so thinking about it, there was no doubt that there was no mole under his hands.
"Those people I use...... You take this, what should you do the day after tomorrow, I don't need to emphasize it to you, right? Oguf, this is an ability given to you in advance, and after the deed is completed, there will naturally be other rewards. ”
Handing over the cloth wrapped in the Book of Darkness (pseudo) and a small metal jug, Oguf lifted a corner to look at it, and swallowed.
"The day after tomorrow, I won't let you down!"
Reaching out and grasping the small metal jug, he nodded heavily.
