Chapter 172: The Folklorist
At first, when Levi first arrived, some people were wary of Levi as a foreigner, but after a few days, everyone welcomed him.
The main reason is that Levi is very rich, very rich, and he has a lot of gold and silver in his storage space at any time, and he doesn't bother to bargain after he takes out the gold and silver, he throws it away.
This also made the people in the whole town feel that Levi was a noble young master of the royal family, and they were a lot more hospitable.
Just like today, Levi casually broke off a small piece of silver and threw it to the tavern owner, and then the tavern owner directly announced that the drinks were free today, because Levi gave too much.
This is also the reason why this sheriff likes to pull Levi to drink.
The whole tavern was also cheering, and both gambling and drinking people shouted happily.
Levi didn't care, things like gold and silver were basically useless to him, plus the previous world went to the bald eagle to rob a lot, and it was too much to put these precious metals in the storage space.
In his opinion, it is extremely cost-effective to be able to open up relationships in the new world through such simple things.
The tavern was dominated by rum, stout, and wine, with Levi naturally choosing wine, and the sheriff picking up a stout and pouring it into tons.
But at this time, an unexpected visitor opened the door of the tavern, it was a strong muscular man more than two meters tall, but it was a customized aristocratic dress, and when he came here, he seemed to stand out from the crowd in the middle of this version of the red neck.
"Boss, a bottle of Irish whiskey." The gentleman's muscular man did not show the arrogance of the nobles, but said very calmly.
"Sorry sir, we don't have whiskey here, let alone Irish whiskey, just these ......" The sommelier showed the shelves behind him, even the wines, some of the cheapest.
"Then let's have a bottle of that." The gentleman pointed to the decent of the inferior bottles and said, "How much." ”
"You don't have to pay, there is a gentleman who pays for the whole show for free today." The sommelier said.
"Oh." The gentleman's muscular man came to burn him and looked at Levi not far away.
The main reason is that the cowboy leather armor of Levi's posthumous life and the felt hat of the matador of this era are too conspicuous and completely incompatible with the people around him, and you can tell that his leather armor must be very valuable.
"Don't you mind if I sit down at Your Excellency's?" The gentleman approached Levi and asked.
"Please." Levi gestured to the seat next to him.
And the sheriff looked at the gentleman and said unhappily: "I guess it's another old man who sells serfs." ”
"No, no, no, I'm not a slave trader, I'm a writer and folklorist, and this time I only came here curiously because I found an item related to folklore." The gentleman took out a delicate metal box from his hand and handed it to Levi.
The metal box has an opening in the middle and is inlaid with transparent glass, but the metal and the inside are still a glass container, which is a double-layered isolation box.
In the middle of the glass container, there was a small piece of stone with a strange pattern, which seemed to be a DNA double helix pattern, which made Levi feel very weird.
What's even more bizarre is that at this time, Levi's "Book of the Necromaton" has a reaction.
However, the Book of Dead did not include this fragment, but only reacted slightly, as if telling Levi that the mother body of the stone was a product of the outer gods.
"Drink slowly, I'm going to talk to this gentleman about business." Levi said to the sheriff who was drinking.
"Shall we speak further, gentleman?" Levi asked.
"Of course, that's why I'm here." The gentleman seemed glad to agree.
The two left the tavern and came to a place where no one was far away.
The gentleman stretched out his hand and said, "Hello sir, my name is Lenchov Carter Joestar, and I am a folklorist, you can call me Carter or Jojo directly." ”
"Layway, my name." Levi said his name vigorously, and then prepared to open the iron box to take a closer look at the stone.
I don't know why, looking at this old muscle and calling himself "Qiaoqiao", Levi always thinks of the team of men he met on his second mission.
And the main profession of this muscular gentleman is actually a folklorist.
"Don't move, Lord Levi, don't open this box."
"Huh?"
"Truth be told, this stone has a strong hallucinogenic effect, even the current double barrier will have a faint hallucinogenic effect. In addition, people affected by this stone will go crazy, and I also investigated the origin of this stone here, so I came here to investigate further. ”
"Mr. Carter, where did you get this stone?" Levi asked, he still called the person in front of him Carter, and it always felt unlucky to call him Jojo.
"The West India Company, but they dug it up around here and sold it as a new type of D-product." The Carter gentleman said.
"Then it's troublesome." Levi said.
He had a hunch that this thing had something to do with his mission.
The only thing that can make the Book of Necrons react is the creation of the outer gods, and the stones covered with strange patterns are the creations of the outer gods of this world.
"What's wrong? Excellency Levi, do you know this stone? Carter asked, his nearly two-metre muscular physique, which produced an unparalleled sense of oppression even with gentlemanly courtesy.
"No, but I'm here for the source of this stone, and we'll ask the priest when he comes back in the evening." Levi's brows furrowed, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Levi took Carter to the church, Carter paid to live directly near the church today, and the two studied the stone together all day, but found nothing.
Without opening the box, Levi could only parse the information through the patterns on the stones, but nothing was resolved, he only felt that the patterns resembled a DNA double helix structure, but the DNA double helix model would not be parsed until a hundred years later.
It wasn't until late that the priest returned to the church, and Carter and Levi, who had studied all day but found nothing, found the priest with the stone.
The priest was also stunned for a moment when he saw this stone, and then he didn't seem to see the solemn expressions of Levi and Carter, and said, "I also have this kind of stone, I bought it at the port, and this thing seems to be able to bring me closer to God." ”
In the midst of Levi's and Carter's strange expressions, the priest returned to the bedroom and took out a small piece of stone the size of a fingernail with a string strung on it, which seemed to be made into the shape of a necklace.
This stone was exposed to everyone without any barriers.
"Father, how long have you been buying this thing?" Levi hurriedly asked.
"It's been a few days." The priest responded, "Since I put this rune stone under the bed, I seem to be able to see the appearance of God every night of sleep, so I recommend that the faithful take one with them." ”
