Chapter 152: The White City
Storme University ...... Associate Professor Michel...... Notes from the Twenty Years' War...... Audrey extracted the key words in her words, glanced at Susie, who was running happily in front of the horse, and asked pointedly:
"Ms. Simin, what kind of notebook is this?"
"We don't know, we only know that it belongs to the Twenty Years' War, that it is in the collection of Associate Professor Michel, and that one of its important features is that the lines on the cover vaguely form a giant dragon. Simin didn't hide anything, and gave all the information he had.
Audrey, who listened to her story quietly, restrained the red horse, and at the same time thought in her mind how to accomplish this task:
"It's not too difficult to visit Associate Professor Michelle, see his collection, and make a purchase request for one of them.
"I'm too embarrassed to admit it, but in any way, it's probably not too much for him to reject me, well, Audrey, don't rely too much on that......
"The biggest problem with this is that I didn't know Associate Professor Michel before, so it's hard to explain why I suddenly wanted to visit him, and I don't know what that notebook means to him, so making a hasty request to buy it might bring vigilance and vigilance.
“...... Jane's brother, who is a student at Storme University, showed a penchant for telling and talking at the last meeting, and if I had invited their siblings to afternoon tea and steered the conversation towards history, archaeology, and collecting, he would have mentioned Associate Professor Michel, well, there are not many people in a university who can be called collectors.
"With such a prelude, I can send someone to visit Associate Professor Michel, make a request to visit the collection, and then try not to show the need when I am a guest for the first time, observe the host's performance, and guide him to show his most authentic attitude, which helps me to make the right request at the right time and in the right way......"
After determining the train of thought, Audrey nodded to the priestess Simin, and said with a light smile:
"I'll try to do it, but there's no guarantee of success. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she tightened her legs, grabbed her horse, and ran out like an arrow, rushing towards a reddish-brown fox that was scurrying around in the hunting circle.
............
In the rough sea, the "Blue Avenger" was like a leaf blown into the air by a strong wind, sometimes flying, sometimes falling, but it maintained an amazing balance, and did not show the slightest sign of capsizing.
In the captain's room, Alger Wilson floated by the window, gazing out at the mountains and peaks of the waves, the wind around him silently.
After some time, he fell, his feet on the carpet.
"'The Wind Favorer' is really a sequence that can be easily played according to the name, the only problem is that you have to make yourself irritable occasionally to match the ......characteristics of the wind," Alger sighed inwardly without any joy.
For more than two months, he has not obtained the formula of "Ocean Singer" through his own channels and transactions in the Tarot Society, after all, this belongs to Sequence 5, which is the closest level to a demigod, and the corresponding formula has a price and no market, even if there is a lot of money and is willing to pay a lot of premium, it is difficult to buy.
Normally, joining the corresponding church or organization is the most effective way to obtain a similar recipe, but as the bishop of the Storm Church, Alger cannot rely on this method, because of some secrets, he must hide his own strength, in exchange for freedom of movement and weak monitoring, so that after being sure enough, he can go to a place and complete the purpose he has been waiting for for a long time.
To his delight, he hadn't wasted these two months, at least the digestion of the "Wind Favorer" potion was progressing well.
"The 'Wind Bearer' is simple, but the 'Sea Singer' is said to have a lot of difficulties...... Do you have to sing all the time?" Alger couldn't help but turn his head and look at the deck.
Though room by room, he could still hear drunken sailors singing excitedly, making noise that could rival the sound of the storm.
Alger frowned unconsciously.
............
Beckland, Jowood District, Cindy's Circus.
"Ma'am, aren't you doing tricks, why are you dressed like this?" a young man asked puzzled, asking the woman in front of him wearing a black pointed hat and a long skirt of the same color.
I don't know why I wore it this way, maybe it was the first time when my head was frozen by the cold weather, and then it was fixed in style...... Furth touched his face painted with red butter paint and replied with a smile:
"In ancient times, tricks were often mistaken for witchcraft. ”
But it has nothing to do with why I'm wearing it like this...... She picked up one of the three large ceramic cups in front of her and clasped the small white ball upside down.
Then, she quickly swapped the position of the cup and smiled at the young man who had just asked the question:
"Guess which cup the ball is in?"
"Isn't this one of the gambling methods invented by Russell the Great?" said the boy with great interest, "but you are not a dealer, but a master of tricks in this circus, so I guess the balls have been replaced by you, and all the cups are empty!"
Furth smiled and said:
"Congratulations, you got it wrong. ”
She slammed into the cup in the middle, and a white figure flew out of it.
That's a pigeon!
And the original ball is where the pigeon left off!
"Oh!"
"Oh God!"
"Pretty magic!"
"Very exciting!"
With a sigh of admiration, Furth looked at the church bell not far away, put away the props, and returned to the tent where the circus director was.
"Are you really going to resign, I can double your salary!" said the circus director, who greeted him urgently.
"It's a pity that I summarized the 'Trick Master Code' in mid-March, and I have completely digested the potion last week, and if it wasn't for the contract signing today, I wouldn't have come a long time ago......
"Although it felt good to be a master of juggling, that didn't stop me from being promoted to 'astrologer', and the teacher said he was coming over this week and gave me the formula, the ingredients and a gift...... What kind of gift will it be?
"Hey, the full moon whispers are getting more and more terrifying, and if it weren't for Mr. 'Fool', I would have lost control and become a monster......" Furth stretched out his right palm, covered his mouth, yawned lazily, and then said with a grin:
"Well, I'm actually a best-selling author, and the subject of my next book is related to the circus, so I applied for the job with you. ”
"Best-selling author?" asked the circus director, his eyes lit up, worried and expectant, "will you write about us bad?"
"Is there anything bad here? I've had a great time for more than two months. Foirth took off his black pointed hat.
The head of the circus smiled heartily and said:
"Wall, Ms. Wall, can you mention the name of our circus in the book? I will, I'll give you advertising money, of course, not too much, you know, I'm going to raise a lot of people. ”
Can this still be done? The regiment commander is very smart...... For the first time, Foirth knew that it was possible to "place" advertisements in the same way as newspapers and magazines, and in a more subtle and natural form.
............
Between the undulating waves, passenger ships with rows of artillery on both sides drove on the safe channel, not daring to deviate in the slightest.
To the east of Olawe, a deviation from the correct route often means disappearance, and even pirates are afraid to stay too far from the safety zone.
This ocean is full of unexplored areas and is full of sensational legends of all kinds!
After more than two months of volunteering and finding four opportunities to play the role of the real person, Klein said goodbye to the work of carrying patients, washing toilets, cleaning up vomit, etc., and boarded a ship to the Gargas Islands.
At the Tarot meeting in early March, he successfully hired the "Hermit" Gadelia through a separate conversation, and he will meet the other party in Nas, the capital of the Gargas Islands, and take the ship of the "Star Admiral" to the almost illusory and dangerous sea in the easternmost part of the Sunia Sea, in search of the wild mermaids living there.
"Hermit" Gadelia seemed to be interested in a real-life meeting with the members of the Tarot Society, and after only thinking for a few seconds, she agreed to the request of the "world", but due to the degree of danger, she offered a relatively high price:
3000 pounds!
Klein's first reaction was to give up and take Mr. Hangman's ghost ship instead, but considering that the latter was not so free with many sailors from the Church of the Storm, and the danger of going to the easternmost area of the Sunia Sea was indeed high, he finally agreed to the request of Ms. "Hermit", and the other party would wait for a month near the Gargas Islands from the beginning of April, and terminate the cooperation after the time limit.
In order not to waste the 1,000 pound deposit, Klein did not wait for the digestion to be completely completed, and set off from Olawe Island and headed straight for the Gargas Islands.
Of course, with the previous summary and the opportunity to play the real thing, he is very close to the complete digestion of the "Faceling" potion, and even if he no longer does the real play and continues to act as Gelman Sparrow, he can complete it in two or three weeks.
For this reason, and the fact that the "world" identity has been bound to Gelman Sparrow, Klein has returned to being a crazy and powerful adventurer after leaving the hospital, but with a certain amount of "disguise".
Looking out at the undulating sea level outside the cabin, Klein finally saw the port city, where white rock was the main material for the houses.
The easternmost colony of the Fersak Empire, the capital of the Gargas Islands, Nas!
"It's finally time to go abroad......" Klein watched as a fishing boat carrying whale flesh sailed into the harbor, the rough feeling felt like substance.
At the same time, he found a number of pirate-flagged ships parked in the harbor without any shy away.
Sure enough, the east side of Olawe Island is a pirate's paradise...... Crane put on his hat, picked up his luggage, and after the passenger ship had stopped, he stepped out of the cabin and walked down the suspension ladder into the dock.
After walking a few steps, he saw a group of pirates suspected of clashing with a local gang, and both sides drew their weapons and fought violently.
Klein passed by calmly, without any intention of stopping.
Just then, he saw a guy who appeared to be a local take out a few cans from his pocket, open the lid, and throw them into the middle of the road.
"What does that mean?" Klein almost laughed, and then thought of an object famous at sea.
Canned wolffish!
Canned wolffish that is popular on the east coast of Vrsack, the Gargas Islands, and other places!
As soon as the thought came to mind, an indescribable fishy smell entered Crane's nose.
His face twitched a few times, and he forced himself to endure his discomfort and walked out of the area quickly.
The pirates who were attacked vomited a little on the spot, and the rest hurriedly dragged their companions to flee, as if they had lost their combat effectiveness.
A minute later, in a hidden corner, the mad adventurer Gelman Sparrow crouched down and retched silently.
