Chapter 55: Be kind to others
The next day's patrol began in the afternoon, and Al changed into civilian clothes in the morning and took George to the Adventure Guild to exchange potions for gold. There are a lot of pharmacists here, but there are few who can have the help of their family, the master's notes, and the adventure guild insiders like Al, and Bico can find the recipe to make the magic recovery potion. The primary healing potion was sold for only one gold coin, but the mana recovery potion sold for twenty gold. This cost Al only cost less than three gold coins.
George worships blindly, and if Al doesn't push him away, he will follow him even harder. By the way, I secretly made up my mind that if Al didn't sleep in the future, he wouldn't sleep, and he would definitely learn pharmaceutical skills.
This time, selling people who don't have Banksy gangs or anything to blackmail, after all, the severity of blackmailing ordinary people is not the same as blackmailing guards.
"George, you come and go every day, and you see herbs such as moonshine flowers, thorn melons, and six-leaf plums, or bear bile, snake gall bladder, or whatever. He asked someone to send it to the hotel and asked the owner to settle the bill for him. ”
"Yes, Big Brother Al"
There is more than one recipe for a mana potion, and it is nothing more than a matter of cost. At the edge of the forest, in the city of Mesantan, where adventurers gather, the demand for magical potions is not very high, and potions such as antidotes and power potions are more popular.
In the afternoon, the oil and water are more abundant than in the morning. Al did not pretend to be high-minded and refused to share the spoils, narrowing the distance between him and these people. Just rejected the offer to go to the tavern for dinner in the evening.
"I just came here, my life is still unstable, I want to make some medicine to sell to change houses, and I always live in a hotel and I don't feel at ease."
"Go ahead, we'll find it for you when you buy a house, it's guaranteed to be big and cheap. "Although Giles is a small person, the little person has the wisdom of a small person, and he knows that some successful people will not waste their time at parties and drinking fields, such as the person in their headquarters who has to practice crazy every day to practice swords, and actually became the team leader. Their first boss, Lord Will, also spends a lot of time cultivating every day. He just needs to maintain a relationship with Al, and the more he focuses, the more light he will get.
Back at the hotel, Al saw the adventurer who had almost done yesterday by selling a diary. He saw that Al also hurriedly got up, but he was at a loss and didn't dare to approach, a big man didn't know how to speak.
"Is the child better?"
"Thank you for your kindness and kindness, but my child is still... The man almost fell to his knees crying
"Oh, what's wrong with him. ”
"We went on an expedition in the forest, and he was bitten by a poisonous snake, and he was still unconscious and feverish after taking the antidote, and now... Right now... ”
"Oh, what did the doctor say. ”
Al ate a large portion of beef stew, potatoes and pies brought by the proprietress, and seeing that the man hadn't spoken for a long time, Al looked up.
A father's face, remorseful, helpless, fearful, hopeless. It seems to be a lot of trouble
Al was half-full, holding the three pies packed by the proprietress and saying "Let's go and see" while eating
"Yes. . . Thank you, Your Excellency. Thank you" almost choked up thanks and led the way in a panic ahead.
This man is tall, but he grovels to the short Al for the sake of the child, which makes Al can't help but soften his heart.
They live in a small thatched hut in a slum, and in every city there is a place where there is a class opposition.
As soon as Al entered, he smelled a foul stench, a disgusting smell of decay.
Al stepped back and took a handkerchief from his pocket to cover his nose. This is the habit of configuration, although it is rarely used, but it is used at the moment.
This house is more than 30 square meters, and there is no kitchen and window. I don't know if I deliberately found such a house, or if it's all like this here.
In the corner, on the bed made of straw, lay a teenager who did not know life and death, and the smell of rushing nose emanated from him.
Al glanced at it from a distance, and his exposed skin bulged into disgusting pink flesh, visible of something rolling and crawling inside.
Al immediately retreated, and the father knelt in front of Al in despair, pleading. Pray that Al will not go, and that God will leave him a little hope.
"Please, save him, Master Physician. I really can't help it, please."
"Where did you get bitten," Al hid in the room, far away.
"The corner of Sunset Ridge, a ruin"
"What did you touch?"
"I picked up a diary, and Leopold was bitten by a snake and fell unconscious, so I quickly ran out with him on my back. ”
Al read the diary, it was a secret word of the nobles, praying to an evil god for help to restore the glory of the family, and Al burned it after reading it, and he read a lot of such things.
The righteous gods never respond to believers easily, only demagogic demons will seduce mortals, and they will respond to all demands, but the results are not very good.
"It's a curse, go and take a few pieces of raw flesh with blood on it and cut the red flesh off your son's body. Don't touch it with your hands, the red spots are gone, and the pieces of meat are still burning. I have no choice but to sell myself to the temple priest. ”
There is still only one temple of the Church of Light in the city of Mesantan, but seeking the help of the church in vain will not end much better. It is not to sell oneself as a knight of the Church, but to make a commitment to open up believers for the Lord of Light.
The gods set the doctrine to be carried out by mortals, and mortals are not gods. The priest, like Ali, Aral's valet, took the initiative to convey the glory of the Lord, even playing harsh little tricks.
"Thank you, sir, thank you!" the child's father raced away in ecstasy, leaving Al behind.
Al took one last look at the room and hurried away, the gentleman did not stand under the wall, he had always been insensitive to these cult-related things.
Back at the hotel, Al didn't have much of an appetite, so he took the excited George to make a few bottles of potions, take a bath and go to sleep.
Patrols are changed every day, and in their free time Aldu is practicing swords at the training ground.
He has strong arms, super fast response, and many years of experience in child camp training. Optimized the inferior military swordsmanship, and the efficiency was doubled, not to say that the military swordsmanship of the Bright Empire was rubbish, but there were many skills and secrets that had not been circulated.
Military swordsmanship is also a simple and effective killing technique, how to kill people quickly and how to use it. It is impossible for Al to be a master of swordsmanship, but it is enough to use it to defend himself and disguise the identity of the Imperial Guard in the future.
In addition to living quietly here, Al makes potions for money, and also collects books. The adventurers here bring out books that they can't read, whether they are biographies, poems, or where they were stolen, Aldu.
It's a pity that he never received the magic book that Al wanted, but he collected a lot of strange things that the adventurer picked up.
