Chapter 148: Dinner
Torrential rain hits at dusk.
As soon as the sun was still shining on the balcony on the fifth floor of the Dawn Hotel, in the blink of an eye, the dark clouds were overwhelming, and then the whole city of Nice was caught off guard.
In the streets, merchants can't wait to retrieve the potion samples that have been placed outside. Those who set up their stalls in the open air were not so lucky, and they panicked and rolled up the mats on display goods, protected them on their chests, and bent down to run among the pedestrians to avoid the rain.
Donner and Rick were also confused by the sudden rain.
The half-elf girl suddenly had a whim today, and she had carefully decorated the balcony to have dinner with Donner.
At this moment, the rainstorm fell suddenly, and the two hurriedly moved the table and chairs to the wall that could not be drenched, and that's it, the trouser legs were also wet, and a plate was broken in the panic.
"You're really picky. Donner looked at the rain curtain slanted by the strong wind and smiled bitterly.
Rick pursed her lips and didn't speak, her expression extremely depressed.
"Let's go, let's go in and eat ......"
Donner was about to pick up the staple in front of him, when he saw the girl stomping her feet in frustration.
"What's wrong with you?"
"It was well arranged...... ...... by this rain" Ruiko clenched his hands into fists, his whole body tensed, and he was fighting with God.
Donner glanced at the rain curtain again, and suddenly said with a smile: "Isn't it just a little rain, you wait." β
So saying, he went into the house, and soon came out again, with a thick scroll in his hand.
I saw that she first cast a wind shield to completely block the rain curtain from the balcony, and then fixed one end of the scroll to the corner of the balcony. "Hiss" unfolded. Unlike normal scrolls, this one is a long one when it is opened. It can be extended all the way to another corner of the balcony.
"Alright, let's move the table out a bit. β
"What's that?" asked Rickle, confused. There was no more angry look on his face.
"A wind-based magic array, it seems to be designed to dispel poisonous gases, it's not bad to use here, and you can see the effect when the wind shield dissipates. β
"But, I think your wind shield works well enough. β
"Are you kidding, this fourth-level wind shield is only enough to last for two or three minutes, and before I finish a meal, I will be squeezed dry first. β
"But, for a dinner. Wasting a magic array......"
"The magic circle can be used over and over again. β
"Then you have to consume magic crystals, right?"
"To make this beautiful lady happy, waste is waste. Donner quipped.
"Flim Flam ......"
"Ahem, Miss Mary, you just talk to the teacher like this......"
"Die, I'm not Miss Mary, such an ugly name, you might as well give it to someone else......"
......
In the midst of such a bickering, dinner was rearranged, and by this time it was completely dark. Ruiko then moved a candlestick from the house and put it on the dining table.
Under the effect of the magical wind magic array, the wind was strong outside the balcony, and the torrential rain was completely blocked, but the balcony was breezy. Even the few flames on the candlestick only shook slightly.
"I didn't expect this thing to be so easy to use. Downer sighed.
"You say, in the Magic Continent. Could it be that this is installed on every balcony?"
"The devil knows...... Can I eat now? I'm dying of hunger. β
"Okay......" Ruiko raised her glass.
Downer didn't move. Just looked at the girl with a smile: "Now, you already know what ulterior I have to do." Do you still want to do it with me?"
"So you remember!" exclaimed the half-elf girl.
"Of course," Donner raised his glass and touched the glass in the girl's hand, "it's been a year, so fast." β
"By this time next year, will we be in the Magical Continent?" asked Rikko.
Donner took a sip of wine and thought for a moment before replying, "I've inquired, the escort ship will dock at Kaios in September, and even if we can catch up with that ship, we won't be able to reach the Magic Continent before November."
"Will we be heard?" asked Rick in a sudden whisper.
Donner swallowed a small piece of beef before replying, "No, the wind is so loud, and besides, I just tried the fifth-level detection magic array, and my perception ability is stronger than that magic circle, and I guess you are the same." β
"How is this possible?"
"It should be the effect of that series of magic, which can almost increase the fourth-level perception. You calm down and listen, even with such a strong wind, you can still hear the sound of the patrols downstairs walking. β
"yes, I could hear it all the time, and I thought the building wasn't soundproofed well, or maybe second-level magicians were like that. β
"Haha, how can there be a building with such poor sound insulation. By the way, the question you asked me last time, I'm sure of it now, and it's probably going to be two or three months. β
"Really, so what's next?" Reeko knew what Donner was talking about, and she asked him how long he was going to hide here, and Donner's reply was that they could leave as long as he successfully configured the Twins.
"Next, I'm going to kill the door. So before that, you have to improve your strength first, otherwise I will have to stop taking you there when the time comes. β
"Don't worry!" the girl smiled mischievously, "I'm sure I'm not going to hold you back, and I have a trick you don't know." β
Donner smiled and shook his head, not taking Reico's words seriously.
......
In the pharmacy factory next to Persson College, the rain crackled against the windows.
Munch was bent over, cautiously reporting to a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man, who was gorgeously dressed and had a resolute face, was the second son of Manuda, the patriarch of the Princh family, the elder brother of Lady Marina, and Alex's brother-in-law, Pompeii.
Munch once claimed that he was instructed by the patriarch Manuda to come to Posson, but in fact, he was just a fox and a fake tiger, and it was the one who really gave him instructions.
After listening to Munch's report, Pompeii pondered for a moment before asking, "Can't see through?"
"Yes, my lord, I originally thought he was just a little cunning, but now that I think about it, I realize that not only is he hiding his strength, but the two potions we are doing now, maybe he never cared. β
"Oh?"
"His only purpose in coming to Posson was 'the blessing of Patrick'. The agreement he negotiated with us was just a faΓ§ade. No sooner had he negotiated that agreement than he disappeared, and soon after, he reappeared at the Medici Chamber of Commerce in Nice. According to my clues here, during the time of his disappearance, he went to prepare the batch of potions. β
"He did it quietly by himself, no one would know, why did he need to alarm so many people first, so he was so mysterious?" Pompey's voice did not fluctuate emotionally, but Munch's back was already soaked with cold sweat. He knew that the calmer the second son looked, the more angry he was in his heart.
"He, he should want to get a sum of money to buy materials first. β
"Then why don't you give it to him?"
"My lord, that agreement, three million magic crystals......"
Munch was only halfway through his sentence when he was kicked out by Pompeii.
"Three million magic crystals?!Do you know how much they sell for a set of potions now?!The opportunity to surpass the Medici family is close at hand, and you turned him away for the sake of three million magic crystals!"
At this moment, Pompeii's face was as hideous as a beast.
Munch spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to get up from the ground, still trembling uncontrollably. (To be continued.) )
