Act 303. Macon. Hydahia

The industrial area of Olmster is located in the south of the city, and because of the topography here, Olmsted has a lot of northerly winds, so it is set up so that the smoke from the factory does not affect the residents.

Macon's pharmacy was on the edge of the industrial area, as Madame Freya had spoken.

In fact, there are not only factories in the industrial area, but some poor workers also choose to live here in order to save money, not to mention some factories that provide food and accommodation, so naturally their employees also live in the workshop.

It is ironic that the workers who are the backbone of the Midland Federation's rapid economic development can only huddle in small, dark rooms.

The edge of the industrial area is rich in amenities, and the pharmacy shop is very popular with workers who are often injured and do not want to spend money to go to the hospital.

Reiner rode in a carriage to the address that Lady Freya had said, followed by Claire, while Lady Freya was still asleep at the inn.

It was working hours, the street was surprisingly quiet, and few shops were open, Reiner saw the shop called Macon Apothecary, the door was locked, and after a little touch, a certain amount of dust had accumulated on it, Reiner saw the cobwebs in the corner, and it was clear that it was not a day or two that it was deserted.

"It's a little eerie here."

Claire said the backlit street was darkened by a lead-gray cloud that kept the sky cloudy because of the smoke from the factory's burning coal.

"Let's go in and have a look."

Reiner glanced around to make sure no one noticed, so he magically picked the lock and walked through the side door into the potion shop.

"Isn't that bad?"

Claire resisted a little, but saw that Reiner had already entered the house, leaving her alone, and hesitated for a moment before following in.

The room was dark and smelled of dust, and Claire followed behind Reiner, subconsciously tugging at his clothes.

Seeing this, Reiner raised his finger, and the shimmering technique suddenly illuminated the entire shop.

It can be seen that this is a small pharmacy store, and the shelves are full of common medicines, most of which are for common diseases such as colds and fevers, as well as some for skin injuries and bruises, and even Reiner has found some drugs to improve male performance, which is very close to the needs of the industrial area.

There is already a layer of dust on the shelves, and as a rule of thumb, no one should have been here for at least half a month.

Reiner found a series of small footprints, presumably traces of Madame Freya's visit yesterday.

The shop on the first floor didn't find much, and Reiner stepped on the creaking stairs again to the second floor.

On the second floor, where Macon lived, it could be seen that his bedroom was relatively small, and the doors of his drawers and wardrobe were tightly closed, not like he had left in a hurry.

There was nothing special about the restrooms and bathrooms, and Reiner didn't find anything like notes here.

I went around in a circle, and I didn't get anything.

Reiner and Claire left the potion shop, and instead of going straight back, they turned around and went to the shop next door.

Next to the pharmacy was a bakery, and Reiner walked in.

The bread on the shelves looked unappetizing, and I don't know how long it had been sitting, and the boss probably didn't think anyone would come to buy anything at this time, so he was still napping, and he didn't come to his senses until Reiner walked to the counter.

"What do you want to buy?"

The boss asked, glancing at Reiner and Claire behind him, a little confused, how could someone in such a nice dress come here?

"I'd like to ask about the pharmacy next door."

Reiner pulled out two silver coins, which for most of the workers here were already days of hard work.

"You mean Macon?"

The boss frowned, but neatly accepted the coin.

"I don't know him well, I should say, he doesn't know the people on this street, except when he buys medicine, he doesn't talk to anyone at other times, and he doesn't open the door on his days off, if it weren't for the fact that his medicine works so well, maybe no one will patronize it at all."

He said, not hearing any sense of lying in his words.

"About half a month ago, he suddenly disappeared, the store has not opened again, and no one knows where he went."

"Has anyone ever come here to look for him that impresses you?"

Reiner thought of his aunt Selia, and now thought that the reason why she chose to stay at Olmster may have a great deal to do with Macon.

"No, no one has ever come to Macon, even after he left, no one has come to inquire about him, and you are the first person to mention his name in more than half a month."

The boss smiled, and it seemed that the income from the two silver coins made him very happy.

"I see, nothing else."

Reiner and Claire left the bakery, and they visited several nearby stores, and the results were similar to what the bakery owner had said.

"It seems that Macon did leave Olmster immediately after Aunt Celia's death."

Looking at the notes, Reiner concluded.

"Then what you are looking for, will he take it away?"

Claire tilted her head and guessed.

"Possibly, but only if Macon is the one we're looking for."

Reiner put away his notes, went to the corner of the street, and beckoned a rental carriage.

"Shall we go back now?"

Claire wasn't very good at this kind of mental thinking problem, and after a morning of tossing, she was already hungry.

"I'll take you to get some food first, and then we'll have to go to Aunt Selia's house."

Reiner replied, causing Claire's eyes to light up and become a little puzzled.

"Why did you go over there, didn't you say you couldn't find any clues?"

The carriage came to a stop, and Reiner motioned for Claire to get in first, and waited until he was seated and Reiner gave the address before he continued.

"Did you find a big problem at the pharmacy in Macon just now?"

"What?"

Claire recalled what she had seen for a moment, but she still didn't know what the problem Reiner was referring to.

"Macon. Isn't it suspicious that Hydaxia is an alchemist and has a potion shop, but we haven't seen any traces of the existence of the alchemist workshop? ”

Reiner explained, too, recalled how his sister Phyllis had gone to the backyard yesterday before leaving the mansion.

If he was not mistaken, Phyllis must have extracted some of the dirt from the backyard for testing, because if Aunt Selia's house had an alchemy lab or had conducted many alchemy experiments, the nearby soil would definitely detect some magical residue.

"Did she already know that?"

Reiner suddenly felt that this sister was much more powerful than he imagined.
