Chapter 106: Can't Read
Wednesday, July 11th.
In the evening, when the sky was full of red clouds, Valera walked out of the steam train station in Tingen.
Her long black hair was simply tied into a ponytail with a tie, a dark soft hat, black trousers and long leather boots, a simply decorated women's shirt, and a black jacket-style rider's uniform with a cinched waist.
This outfit is the result of Valeera's compromise with the popular aesthetic.
She actually prefers to wear a trench coat rather than a rider's suit.
But the problem is that in the kingdom of Rune, no lady will wear a trench coat with a long hem, even ...... Even ladies wearing rider outfits are rare.
Not only her dress, but Valilla also made small adjustments to her appearance.
Although the "Lost Mask" has been lent to Sharon, she still has the "bloodthirsty tongue", and it is not difficult to adjust her appearance slightly at the cost of a little blood.
Valera went out into the streets, looking for a carriage to hire, and prepared to go to Zantlan Street in the North End to find a hotel to stay in.
She doesn't know the exact location of Rare Bieber's house, and can only find the "tuxedo clown" by spying on the "Black Thorn Security Company".
What Valera didn't notice was that in a carriage heading south, Crane was sitting in a seat by the window, looking aimlessly out the window.
Crane and Neil Sr. go to the underground market of the "Dragon Bar" in the docklands.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, Crane heard a wave of shouts not far awayโthe cheers of the drinkers watching the fight in the bar.
Old Neil took Crane and pushed open the door with ease, bypassed the boxing ring in the center of the bar, and walked to a billiard room in the back.
There were two people in the billiard room holding cues, talking and laughing, and when they saw Old Neil push the door in, they were silent for a few seconds.
Confirming the passer, they quietly moved out of the way, allowing Old Neil and Crane to pass through the secret door behind them.
After walking through several rooms in a row, Crane and Old Neil actually entered the underground market.
The two stood near the entrance, and Old Neil responsibly taught Crane some common sense.
"All the proceeds are going to give Svein a twentieth of the proceeds, ah, he's the owner of the Dragon Bar, the former captain of the 'Substitute Punisher' squad, older than me, an old guy who wants to die of alcoholism." Old Neil introduced with a broken mouth.
Crane thought for a moment and commented sincerely:
"A pretty lucrative business."
Because the cost is just to provide space and shelter.
"If you have a crush on an item and don't have enough money, you can borrow it from Svein, and of course, he will charge a very high interest rate......" said this, and the old Neil gritted his teeth for a moment.
Crane was about to ask for some news of Svein, when suddenly he turned his head and saw a pale young man in a shabby linen shirt and blue-gray trousers, muttering something and passing by with his eyes closed.
"Can't see it...... Can't look at ......"
Crane vaguely discerned what the young man was saying, and with a moment of curiosity, he turned to old Neil and asked:
"Who is he? What are you doing? โ
"Don't worry, his name is Ademisor, an orphan nicknamed 'Monster'."
Old Neil shook his head and explained:
"He is naturally highly inspired, he can often see things that he shouldn't see and hear sounds that he shouldn't hear, so he often talks nonsense and is often hurt."
"But he's much more normal now than before, and he can basically communicate, look at it......"
Old Neil smiled at Crane, turned his head and shouted:
"Ademisor!"
"Huh?"
Hearing someone call out to him, Ademisol subconsciously turned his head to look over......
"Ahh
"Damn it!"
"I still see ......"
He only looked at Crane for a second or two before he let out a sudden scream, his eyes closed tightly, and blood-colored fluid flowed out.
He covered his eyes with one hand, waved the other at old Neil, quickened his pace, and staggered away.
Crane was dumbfounded, completely unaware that the problem was his.
Old Neil was also confused.
He was a frequent visitor to the trading market here, and had a few conversations with Ademisor, knowing that the young man had been getting better and better in recent months, and he was going to let him talk to Crane and pass on his experience.
Who knew that such a change would occur.
"He seems to have a problem again," Old Neil laughed dryly, "and leave him alone, let's continue." โ
This...... Do you mean it when you don't apologize? Crane sneered and asked, puzzled:
"The Night Watchman, the Punisher, and the Machine Heart, haven't they even thought of recruiting him into the team?"
"No, none of us have a sequence potion for him." Old Neil sighed.
Yes, this is equivalent to inherently solidifying half of the sequence start...... Crane asked curiously:
"And which sequence path does he fit into?"
"The sequence 9 he is suitable for is called 'Monster', and that's where his nickname comes from, but unfortunately, this sequence path is only mastered by the School of Life." Old Neil replied in a low voice.
He and Crane tried to avoid the people around him, so as not to leak information to the occult enthusiasts.
The School of Life? Crane recalls what he had read.
This secret organization appeared at the beginning of this era, the specific origin is unknown, and it is mainly passed on from master to apprentice.
After talking for a while, old Neil felt that it was almost done, so he pointed to one of the two rooms at the end, and said:
"Alright, you can shop yourself, and I'll pay the bill."
Crane nodded, "Okay." โ
Carrying a black cane, he wandered aimlessly for a while, stopping in front of a stall selling homemade amulets.
Crane was ready to put what he had learned into practice, so he picked up two half-finished amulets and gave them to his sister Melissa and brother Benson.
As he was choosing, he heard someone in the stall behind him ask:
"This is the powder ground from bovine tooth peony?"
Crane, as he recalls, was one of the auxiliary materials for the "audience" potion.
The broken formula of the "audience" potion was the first wool he had picked up from the members of the party since he called the party, so he was on top of the gray fog, and the broken formula with two main materials missing was ripe.
Crane turned his head and saw Dast Guderian, with yellow sideburns and glasses, examining the materials.
A simple piece of material didn't arouse Crane's suspicions, so he quickly turned his attention back and carefully selected a suitable half-finished amulet.
In the process, he also helped a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl by choosing a gift for a friend.
After leaving the amulet stall, Crane continued to wander around, just in time to see the gentleman with yellow sideburns and glasses buying "Elven Flowers" at another stall, which was also an aid to the "audience's" potions.
With this in mind, Crane joined up with Old Neil and left the underground market.
