Chapter 91: Azik and the Mask

The address that Darkwell had left for Abner was on Lieleyton Street in the Jowood district near the Tasok River, not too far from the Bridge District Police Station, so Abner didn't take a horse-drawn carriage and walked there.

On the way, he also bought two Dixi pies for lunch.

More than ten minutes later, after eating the meaty and juicy Rune's well-known delicacies, Abner walked to the location written on the address.

It is a two-story house facing the street, which can be seen to have been newly renovated, and the sign reads "Folk Herb Shop".

Abner pushed the door open and walked in, smelling the smell of various herbs, and also saw Darkwell with short black hair and a round face.

He was still dressed in the same costume as a village witch doctor, his robes were dark and embroidered with all sorts of strange symbols.

The chubby pharmacist showed a surprised expression when he saw Abner come in, and then glanced at the other party with dark blue eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly:

"You don't look sick, why did you come to me?"

After speaking, he seemed to suddenly realize again, hehewei laughed twice, and lowered his voice and said:

"Have you heard of my mummy powder, too? In the past two days, it is indeed very famous, and many nobles come to buy this kind of thing, put it in tea, or boil soup to drink...... There's even an earl who wants to trade his treasured antique Quaternary mask with me! ”

"But how can you be so weak at such a young age?"

As soon as Abner wanted to say hello, he was choked by this remark, and the corners of his eyes jumped when he heard it, and he only felt that it was a miracle that the medicine man in front of him was not killed.

Seeing that the other party was still selling the "mummy powder" endlessly, Abner had to interrupt loudly: "Darkwell, I'm here to introduce you to business today, I don't know if you have the ability to take it." ”

Darkwell stopped the gushing advertising slogan, glanced at Abner, and asked suspiciously, "What business?" "It's just a general friend on the ship, but you actually introduced me to business? Could this be a problem?

"I have a friend whose wife may have some problems with the fetus because she got pregnant through unconventional means...... Do you have any medicine to cope with this? Abner was a little vague, after all, in the eyes of the other party, he didn't know that he was a Sequence 9 "pharmacist".

Darkwell looked at Abner vigilantly when he heard this, and then smiled and asked, "Is that friend you are talking about?" Or is it actually you who is the unconventional method? ”

Believe it or not, I'm going to report you right now? Anyway, you're not the only pharmacist in Beckland, and Emlin's parents are also good candidates!

Abner scolded in his heart, but smiled on the surface: "It seems that you don't have the ability to do this, but it's a pity that the big customer ......"

"Who says I can't help it? But you'll have to call someone to show me, or I'll know what kind of 'unconventional' means are causing the pregnancy?" "Darkwell didn't have much savings because he opened a new store and bought and cultivated medicinal herbs. For big customers, he can't be reserved anymore.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has some connections in Beckland, and he has not done anything illegal, and he is not too afraid of the official extraordinary people of the major churches coming to his door.

"Then it's decided, I'll bring someone over tomorrow." Abner nodded, then looked around.

After finalizing the matter, he had the heart to look at the products of this store.

Deep sleeping flowers, dragon's blood, crimson sandalwood, peppermint, lavender...... The variety is very complete, and you can come to him to buy ritual herbs in the future, and you don't have to go back and forth to many stores......

Abner was thinking about it when he heard Darkwell beside him say in a wary tone, "What are you looking at?" Tell me upfront, I won't pay the agency fee! ”

Well, just to avoid hearing this person, I'd rather go to a few more stores to buy materials......

Thinking so, Abner felt that his self-cultivation was getting better and better.

……

During the summer vacation, Hoy University is full of green trees, flowers and birds, peaceful and tranquil.

After walking along the river for a while, Crane turned onto the road that led to the history department, found a small three-story graystone building that was some years old, and found the common room where Mr. Azik was.

He knocked on the door and entered, and saw Azik, the instructor who seemed to be sitting waiting for him.

This is a gentleman with bronzed skin, medium build, black hair and brown eyes, soft features, and there is always an indescribable sense of vicissitudes in his eyes, and a small mole hidden under his right ear that cannot be detected unless you look closely.

"Why did you come over today? Did you find something that you would like to tell me? Seeing Klein walk in, Mr. Azik looked up and asked in a gentle tone.

"Mr. Azik, can I talk to you?" Crane glanced at the other faculty members in the common room and said sincerely.

Hearing his student's words, the brown-eyed gentleman sorted out the book and said:

"No problem, let's go to the Hoy River like we did last time."

"Okay." Crane picked up his cane and followed the other party out of the three-story gray stone building.

Along the way, both remained silent, and neither spoke.

When the flowing river came into view, and when there were no more teachers and students around, Azker paused, half-turned, and said to Klein:

"Well, it's quiet enough to talk."

Crane pondered for a moment, then organized his words and said, "Mr. Azik, I recently heard about a seal that has the property of being 'alive', and perhaps the description of it will help you remember something. ”

"Seals?" Azk was in a trance when he heard this word, but after a moment he came back to his senses and asked, "What kind of seal is it?" ”

Seeing that the other party seemed to really remember something, Klein was a little excited, and he hurriedly followed the prayer of the "tower" he received yesterday, and continued: "It is a 'mask' that allows the wearer to change into a preset appearance, which can enhance strength, balance and other abilities, and its negative effect is ......"

After relaying the words of the "tower" prayer, Crane saw that Azik seemed to be in a strange state, his gaze sometimes deep and sometimes misty, as if he had been wandering between dreams and reality.

"Mr. Azik, you, what's wrong with you?" Crane clenched his staff and turned on his vision as he cautiously asked.

Even before he came to Hoy University to find Mr. Azik, he used a pendulum to do a quick divination, and the results of the divination showed that there was little danger.

But through the "clown" who taught him with his life in the "Esoteric Society", he has understood that divination is not omnipotent, and he needs to always be on guard against his own misinterpretation, or there is a problem with the organization of divination statements, plus the Azik instructor is a mysterious and extraordinary person, no one knows what he has done in the past, and he does not know how he will react once he encounters stimuli, so caution, vigilance and worry have become Klein's normal emotions.

Azk didn't answer immediately, he stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows, and after a long time said in a dreamy tone:

"I used to have a mask like this, and it allowed me to turn into anyone."

"But it seems to be missing......"

"Maybe I lost it myself......

Lost on your own initiative? Why? Is there also a strong negative effect? Maybe Mr. Azik's amnesia is because of the mask...... I was going to ask for some tips on how to communicate with the seal......

Many thoughts flashed through Crane's mind, and before he could open his mouth to ask anything, he saw that Mr. Azik had recovered his spirits, and said to him with a smile: "Crane, thank you for bringing me this news, it reminds me of something." ”

"I'm glad I could help you...... Well, I'll continue to collect similar messages in the future. Klein replied with the same smile.

Azik bowed his head slightly, expressing his gratitude, and then asked:

"You're here today to tell me about the seal, right?"

Crane nodded when he heard this, and then he didn't shy away from it, and calmly asked about the knowledge of "sacrifice" and how to communicate with "seals".

Azik looked at him deeply and replied, "I don't know anything about 'sacrifice', and I probably haven't remembered it yet. However, from the current memory, you can guess that it is very dangerous, because you don't know what attitude the recipient of the sacrifice has towards you......"

No, I know, because I am the recipient of the sacrifice. Klein laughed at himself in his heart, and heard Mr. Azik continue:

"As for the way to communicate the seals...... Well, in the case of the mask you just mentioned, it's easy to communicate with just the aura of its fear, or by placing it next to something dangerous enough to destroy it. ”

"In addition, each of the lower and middle level seals is easily obedient to the superior existence of the path in which it is located. It's like the 'puppet' seal you mentioned last time in search of the descendants of the Antigonus family, which is still looking for the breath of its original owner even after many years. ”

Crane nodded thoughtfully, thinking of his nickname as the "Fool" and the close connection between Grey Mist and the "Fortune Teller" path, and he probably guessed why "Tower" was confident that he could communicate with "Clown Mask".

"In that case, if that seal is covered with gray mist, it should be more 'honest', right?" Klein thought to himself.

After the matter was discussed, because Azik, who recalled some past events, took the lead in asking for his farewell, Klein knew that the other party's heart must be very chaotic at this time, so he didn't keep it, and watched the other party return to the gray stone building.

After that, Klein, who walked out of the college school district, suddenly screamed in his stomach, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and found that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, so he hurriedly got into the public carriage and returned to his home at No. 2 Daffodil Street to prepare a meal, and at the same time muttered in his mouth:

"Mr. Azik didn't even invite me to lunch......
