Chapter 56: Inquiry
The herbalist owner's round eyes first swirled over Grandin's well-made tuxedo. But when he saw Crane's cheap formal suit, he pouted disdainfully.
Then he smiled, half leaning against the counter:
"Gentlemen, you have come at a good time. The store is about to be relocated, and all potions will be sold at a 20% discount. You don't have a disease in you, and you want to increase your confidence as a man? I've got some goodies here, like this mummy powder ......"
Grandin raised his eyebrows slightly, and with a serious expression, he took out his police ID card from his top pocket and shook it quickly in front of Rosen:
"Rosen Duckweed! Your business has been sent! ”
Lawson, who was called out by his full name, shook his body, and the smile on his face instantly froze, and he said:
"I have a pharmacist certificate...... There is also a license for the sale of medicines. ”
His hand on the counter slowly tucked it under the table.
This action made Klein nervous.
He stared at Rosen's hands, and if the strangely dressed pharmacist made any moves, he would follow Mr. Fate's instructions and draw his gun first.
Grandin quietly observed Rosen's expression, and found that he was only slightly nervous, and did not show particularly violent resistance, it seems that this gentleman is usually quite well-behaved.
"Oh? Does the license also allow you to sell mummy powder? Grandin drew a barstool from the corner of the wall and sat down with his hands folded over his chest, "Take both hands up and place them on the table so I can see them." If you dare to resist, you will attack the police, and the crime will be added to the crime. Is there anyone else upstairs? Let him come down too. ”
Grandin deliberately emphasized his identity as a police officer twice, which successfully misled Rosen and made the fat pharmacist's expression relax slightly. Rosen put his hands on the counter as he said, with a flattering look on his face:
"Don't worry, officer. There was only one apprentice upstairs, and I immediately asked him to come down. Shermin, Shermin! Hurry down and clean up later! ”
As Rosen shouted, the sound of going downstairs came from the partition behind the counter. Soon a handsome young man with unkempt hair poked his head out of the corner, and he was startled when he saw Lawson standing against the counter:
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
"The officer asks questions, you can also come and stand." Rosen had his apprentice stand beside him, his hands on the table as well. Then he said, "Officer, I've been wronged." There are many pharmacies that secretly sell mummy powder, which is illegal, but not illegal. ”
"Stand honestly, it's not up to you to decide whether you are wronged or not." Seeing the suspect so cooperative, Grandin shook his head at Klein.
Klein worked together seamlessly, and he thought of himself as a real police officer. After receiving the signal, he immediately began to search the master and apprentice lying on the counter.
The fat pharmacist gritted his teeth and continued:
"I can report it with my real name! I also know of several apothecaries that secretly sell mummy powder, and they ship a lot more than I do! ”M.. coM
At this time, Crane shook his head secretly at Grandin, he did not find a weapon on the master and apprentice.
Without weapons, the threat level of this wild extraordinary person is several times lower.
Grandin, who was already sure in his heart, had a smile on his face: "Real-name report? Which is your real name. Is it 'Rosen Darkwell'? ”
Like a thunderclap, Rosen instantly tensed his body, and the loose robe on his body actually stretched out his round belly - >>

Shape.
Klein also didn't know that Fat Pharmacist had another name, but at this time, he still chose to trust his teammates.
When the fat pharmacist tried to resist, he immediately raised his leg and kicked the pharmacist's knee socket hard. The pharmacist's legs instantly weakened and he collapsed on the counter.
Klein took the opportunity to put all his weight on him and subdued him again in a short time.
Before the pair could react otherwise, Grandin threw the spell and activated it.
"Sleep!"
Hermes' words invoked the power of the spell, causing everyone in the herb shop to fall asleep and lose the desire to act.
However, as a user of the charm, Grandin had already applied a potion of awakening to the tip of his nose.
He walked over to Crane, who was also affected, and handed him the potion.
With the help of the potion, Crane, who was resisting drowsiness, soon woke up as well.
The apprentice had fallen asleep on the counter, while the fat pharmacist had dull eyes and seemed to be asleep: "You are not policemen...... Who are you...... The Extraordinary of the Church. ”
"It is clear that we are all guardians of the Goddess of the Night." Grandin has reduced the power output of the 'Sleep Charm', preventing the Medicine Maker from falling asleep.
"Oh, I knew I couldn't stay in one city for too long...... I didn't expect to lure you here so quickly. "The fat pharmacist seems to have regained some consciousness after Grandin reduced the intensity of his control.
"You should be glad that it was us, not the Storm Church's substitutes, who came to the door. After all, our style of doing things is relatively mild. Grandin's tone was soothing.
"Gentle?" Rosen scoffed.
"That's right...... I have resorted to this method only to ensure that you can listen to me calmly. As a gesture of goodwill, Grandin reduced the power output of the spell again.
"I think all people have the right to pursue their own freedom, but that's only on the basis of not harming others." Grantin's brown eyes looked directly into the fat pharmacist's eyes, "Do you agree with that?" ”
The will in Grandin's eyes made the fat pharmacist feel a tingling, and he turned his head and muttered, "I'm just a medicine seller, what bad thoughts can I have?" ”
The fat pharmacist turned his head back to the shabby-clad night watchman. This guy's kick just now was so hard that his knee is still sore, at least a contusion!
"I myself do not consider all ungoverned extraordinary people to be potential criminals, which is unfair to those who yearn for order and goodness." Klein also made his attitude clear.
Judging from the information he has gathered, what this fat pharmacist has done can indeed be regarded as kind. Is it just some bad taste, such as liking to sell mummy powder?
Thinking about the source of the mummy powder, Crane was a little sick.
After receiving the assurances of the two night watchmen, Rosen's expression softened slightly, and he asked tentatively, "Then what are you coming to me for?" I promise I haven't hurt anyone! ”
"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for the School of Life, or I'm looking for your teacher."
As soon as Grandin finished speaking, Rosen's body shook again.
School of Life ......
Klein remembered that this school of life seemed to be a secretive organization based on the inheritance of master and apprentice.
