Chapter 139: Treasure Chest
Crane sat down on the couch and opened the envelope, revealing the familiar handwriting.
"Dear Crane:"
"It's been a long time since you've been in touch, how are you doing?"
"I think it's not bad, you have a good job, the income can be used to improve the family life, and Benson shouldn't be so stressed."
"What you want, I've got it ready for you."
"You should receive a deposit voucher in the day or two before or after this letter, and the thing is in the item storage office, which I specially asked someone to send over, remember to pick it up as soon as possible."
"Remember, the occult is dangerous, always be cautious."
"I've checked it many times, but I still can't guarantee that those things are completely safe, you have to be vigilant and don't accidentally provoke the unknown."
"Please forgive me for not being able to meet with you for a while - Valeera."
After reading it, Crane quickly put the letter away and put it in his pocket.
Before he could get up from the couch, his sister Melissa came down the stairs.
Her brown eyes looked at Crane, with a hint of question, and said, "There's special news today?" ”
"Well, nothing, I didn't sleep well." Crane reached out to cover his mouth and feigned a yawn.
Melissa nodded, "Then sit down and I'll prepare breakfast." ”
……
For the rest of the day, Crean would occasionally think of Valeera's letters, wondering what he would receive.
The recipe for the "soothsayer" potion is almost certainly there, and the occult notes are certainly there, and he can't be sure of the rest...... Crane wasn't even sure if what Valeera had sent would be useful to him.
After all, he wasn't as ordinary as Valilla thought he was, an ordinary person who was interested in mystery students.
In fact, Crane felt that he was already a relatively knowledgeable extraordinary, at least surpassing most of the wild extraordinary.
Moreover, the "fortune-teller" potion in his body was almost completely digested, and the increased spirituality was enough to support Valeera's return to the "Tarot Society", a title that Miss "Justice" had said in passing at a certain party, and he felt that this title was very appropriate.
If Valilla only gave the primer of the Extraordinary, it wouldn't be useful.
In the evening, Crane returned to Daffodil Street, and before entering, he checked the newspaper box in front of the house, and there was another letter in it.
When I opened it, sure enough, it was a deposit voucher.
The storage place for the voucher is at the steam train station in Tingen, and the timestamp above shows that the item was deposited yesterday evening.
Crane retrieved his house keys and turned to the nearest public carriage stop, intending to retrieve his things first.
……
After about an hour of back and forth, Crane was able to retrieve the item without incident, and it was a small lady's suitcase.
By the time they got home, Melissa and Benson had already returned.
They saw Crane enter the door carrying a lady's suitcase, and they were slightly stunned, and their eyes were full of meaning.
Crane had the heart to explain, but the contents of the suitcase were not visible, so he smiled awkwardly and fled back to his room in embarrassment.
I thought I would only have to endure the strange eyes of strangers, but I didn't expect the eyes of my family to be even more difficult...... I knew that I should have bought a big suitcase to cover the outside according to the idea at that time.
Well, a cheap big suitcase costs about 1 suckle, so it's better to add a dish for dinner, and be embarrassed.
In the room, it took a moment for Crane to calm down.
While Melissa was still preparing dinner, he locked the door and opened the small suitcase.
There's a lot of stuff in there.
A delicate black formal suit is actually just a cushioning layer, and a folded note is placed on top.
Relying on the fact that he was not a novice occultist, Crane put the note aside and looked at what was underneath the cushion of the dress first.
On the left is a small wooden box, and on the right are two notebooks stacked on top of each other, of equal thickness.
Crane took out the wooden box first, and then he could tell from the characteristics of the crest of the book, two notebooks, one was an ancient book, and the other was a notebook that is common in stores now.
After a little hesitation, Crane opened the wooden box first.
Because it can be expected that the wooden box is likely to be an extraordinary material, and the degree of safety is high.
"Star Crystal"!
"The blood of the Rava octopus"!
There were three items in the wooden box, and he recognized two of them at a glance, uh, what was the rest of the thing that looked like a small piece of whalebone?
At this point, Crane noticed that there was also a piece of parchment rolled up in the wooden box.
It should be a potion recipe...... Crane reached out and took out the parchment, unfolded it and glanced at it:
"Sequence 9, The Fortune Teller."
"Extraordinary materials: 10 ml of blood of Rava octopus, 50 grams of star crystal; Supporting Materials......"
"Sequence 8, Joker."
"Extraordinary Materials: One Adult Hornachis Grey Goat, One Rose with a Whole Human Face (Whalebone' in a wooden box can be used instead of these two materials......);
"Sequence 7, The Magician."
"Extraordinary materials: a piece of the real rhizome of the Misty Tree Man, all the spinal fluid of the evil panther; Auxiliary materials: 60 ml of pure water, 30 ml of misty tree man's juice, 3 grams of water-shaped gemstone powder, 4 drops of psychedelic grass essential oil. ”
Potion recipe for Sequence 7!
And the main material for Sequence 8!
Crane's expression, which had been calm, suddenly bloomed, and he became surprised and delighted...... The harvest was too great, and even if there was nothing else to be gained from those two notebooks, he was satisfied.
Because he didn't have enough funds to support the secret promotion, he was recently thinking about how to pave the way to the captain, so that he could make a special application for the promotion sequence more reasonably and naturally, but he didn't expect Valera to provide him with another option.
Not to mention the Sequence 7 potion recipe.
Sequence 7, that's already a medium sequence, and it's considered a strong one...... The captain is only sequence 7.
Crane was amused for a moment, and then he remembered to flip through the two notebooks.
Of course, the occult notes were a little more cautious, and he unfolded the note first.
"Crane, you have to do what I say, and don't make your own decisions."
"First of all, you should follow the 'Fortune Teller' recipe in the wooden box, collect the corresponding auxiliary materials, prepare and take the 'Fortune Teller' potion from Sequence 9, and become a real 'Fortune Teller'. ”
"Then, you should read the notes I copied first, the potion will improve your learning ability and make you a qualified extraordinaire faster, as for more divination skills, you can find a divination club to learn."
"Finally, once you have a complete grasp of the contents of the notebook and do not make any more common-sense mistakes, you can read the ancient notebook carefully."
"There's a lot of occult knowledge in that ancient book, enough to make one an expert in the occult."
"But you have to be careful, it also has a lot of dangerous content in it, so dangerous that I don't dare to copy it!"
This last reminder made Crane retract his originally somewhat relaxed smile and become serious and cautious again.
He took the transcription notes on it, and saw two lines of Hermesian written in crimson tones on the dark black hard-shell cover of the ancient book:
"Book of Secrets"
"Karaman"
Crane turned the first page of the ancient book and saw this sentence:
"We worship the moon, not the goddess of the night."
A strange and evil feeling came to my face.
