28 months or so
The bait was eaten.
When someone answered the call, Andy, who was far away on a remote island in North Africa, suddenly realized this.
He didn't immediately check it out, though.
Because this kind of response is more like a qualification.
A qualification to enter the realm of the other person's dream and communicate with the other person in a spirit way.
Since it is a dream, in addition to sleeping, the other party also needs to be asleep in order to proceed.
Otherwise, you won't be able to contact at all.
On the other hand, wanting to take the crown prince as a student is not something that can be done casually.
Although there is a blood connection, if you can't show the ability to be qualified to become the other teacher, even stronger than the existing teacher.
Then a little intimacy brought by the bloodline alone will not have much effect at all.
The opportunity to perform, again, does not mean that there is one.
It can't be too deliberate, it needs to be guided without a trace, so that everything happens naturally.
Andy thinks that within a month, don't want to see results.
"I hope my dreams go well tonight."
He thought silently, and then put the matter behind him for now.
At this time, Andy was "shopping" in a market.
The market is not a simple market, it is located under a piece of yellow sand, the environment is dark, the air is cold, and it looks like a series of many holes in the ground.
On both sides of the road in these caves, there are wooden signs with sentences written in the local language.
"Urgently purchase ten catties of poisonous sardines, three percent higher than the market price, the contact address is the Vasily house on the west side of the east of the island, please knock on the door first - the poison trap in the courtyard, jump the wall at your own risk!"
……
"Want to have a glamorous body fragrance? Want to give your lover a mini hug? Come and join us at Mia Therapy! Mid-month discounts, members can enjoy ......"
……
"Accept employment, good at sea diving, treasure hunting, fishing, picking, etc., contact address......"
……
Obviously, this is a market for the extraordinary.
Judging from these billboards, the ugly man is really right, there are not only transcendents on this island, but also a lot of them.
Andy learned about this place from the people who brought him food these days.
But he didn't come here to gain knowledge, or to go to the underground world to escape the heat.
He wanted to get some herbs.
Some herbs that can act on evil spirits.
It's problematic to keep evil spirits in your suitcase all the time.
Although the idiot didn't feel wronged, Andy couldn't carry a suitcase everywhere.
That's too troublesome and too conspicuous.
So he is going to let that thing grow a little brain, at least it can retract the breath on its body independently, and don't turn against him as a master at every turn.
This way, Andy can carry it directly on his body without having to block it with a seal container.
However, it requires a lot of resources.
Moreover, it is an extremely scarce herbal resource in this country.
However, in the past few days, Andy has observed, although it is scarce, he can collect all he needs.
However, this runs into a problem.
He has no money.
Or rather, there is nothing for the transcendents to exchange.
Of course, in terms of his ability, there are many ways to make "money", but there are very few ways to make money without exposing the abnormality-
The anomaly here refers to a special ability that is completely inconsistent with his upbringing environment and age.
"Looks like the only way to make up your mind on this matter."
After walking around and finding no business opportunities, Andy ended up in the largest cave in the market.
There was no other billboard in the cave, only a huge blackboard hanging in the middle.
There are some clear regulations, avoidances, and even legal codes written on it.
Apparently the official institutions of the island hung it here.
And in these words, there is a short but special line.
"Unlimited purchases of fillet sand-footed insects."
After reading this for a moment, Andy turned to leave.
He has a way of getting a lot of bugs, but only if he finds one to observe first.
You don't have to look in the market, just go back and dig in the sand yourself.
……
"The kid seems to have some ideas."
A crystal ball reflects Andy's wandering through the underground market.
Looking at the crystal ball was a dark-skinned old man smoking a pipe and sitting in an office.
Now he was watching Andy's departing figure while talking to the middle-aged man sitting across from his desk.
"But those bugs aren't easy to catch, otherwise we wouldn't be at the point where we're posting bounties."
"How to avoid being exposed to the sun for long periods of time is a problem."
The middle-aged man who was looking down at a book replied.
Dressed in a black priest's robe, he had short gray hair, and if Andy was here at this time, he would inevitably find out that this was Father Matthew who had been transferred.
"So he's probably going to consider buying some heatstroke equipment."
"Does he have any money?" The old black man asked, raising an eyebrow.
He is the deputy mayor here, and he is also a member of the anti-thieves, and he has always had a good relationship with Matthew, and he is one of the high-level leaders who supported Matthew's decision-making in the first place.
"The Kozia family didn't have any money for him."
The priest said without raising his head: "They obviously think that Andy has no interest in wandering around for a short time. ”
"It's clearly a mistake."
The deputy mayor smiled when he heard this, "It seems that the alleviation of the disease has made the boy a lot more lively." ”
He didn't take this seriously, and after making a joke, he changed the subject.
"Will Cardin still be able to save his life?"
When he said this, the deputy mayor's tone became obviously much more solemn.
"It's hard."
Matthew shook his head and said, "Although he rescued the boy underwater, he still inevitably left traces. There's nothing wrong with it yet, it's just that those people want to use him to lure us in. ”
"It's a pity ......"
The black deputy mayor sighed at this, then smoked his pipe with a solemn expression, and did not speak again.
Cardin was the police chief.
Although he is not too important in the anti-thief forces, he can be regarded as a backbone.
Rescuing Andy from York Harbour was a great achievement.
However, he was about to die because of it.
The organization clearly understands this, but it is impossible to choose to save Andy as it did in the first place.
The cost is too high, and the odds of success are too low.
After all, it's a trap, and no one knows how many people this trap has prepared.
So they could only watch the heroes die.
It's a very sad thing, everyone is so powerless.
The deputy mayor smoked his pipe and was silent for a long time before he said to the priest who was looking down again: "So what about you, have you really given up the identity of a clergyman?" ”
"It's just a temporary abandonment."
Matthew replied, "If I disappear halfway, it will only be determined that I am missing, and when this limelight passes, I can find a reason to prevaricate." ”
"Yes."
The deputy mayor nodded understandingly, "Stay, except for being suppressed by that old thing, there will be no other good results." ”
"However, when do you think this limelight will pass?"
"About two months."
The priest replied.
After a moment of silence, he snapped the book in his hand and said:
"When that big man returns, it'll be over."
