Chapter 37: The Pocket Watch for Money
"In this way, how to quickly and accurately digest the potion is the most important thing. Bert pondered for a moment and concluded.
Chris took off the napkin at the neckline: "That's right, it's just that today the teacher himself talked about what digestion is, and he hasn't talked about how to digest quickly and accurately." I guess that's the focus of tomorrow. ”
"Could it be that Professor Oliver doesn't know?" asked Bonnie, holding her cheek in one hand, curiously.
"Looking at the teacher's expression, it shouldn't be like it. For now, though, the focus is on your potion choices. ”
As he spoke, Chris looked at Bert:
"The teacher also said that the 'doctor' selected by Bonnie was very safe in the early stage, and there was no problem. However, although the 'listener' you choose has strong combat capabilities in the early stage, the danger is also multiplied accordingly. Or, you can change it again. We also have 'cultivators'...... I can also go to the teacher and pay the corresponding money to see if I can buy the potion recipe for Sequence 9 of the other pathways. ”
Bert thought for a few seconds, shook his head under the gaze of Chris and Bonnie, and said solemnly:
"I've decided, so I'm going to choose 'Listener'...... After all, you and Bonnie are both opting for the extraordinary path of the support class, and the 'Listener' can master some ritual and magic, and resist in the face of danger...... There must be one of the three of us who can protect everyone. ”
Chris and Bonnie fell silent, and indeed, all three of them were about to be Sequence 9 Extraordinary, facing the whole Extraordinary World.
Chris has chosen the extraordinary path and cannot be replaced, and Bonnie is only a ten-and-a-half-year-old girl, and the job of fighting in the face of danger must not be handed over to her, and Bert will not be willing to give it to her. Therefore, Bert had to make a sacrifice and choose the path that was both dangerous and powerful.
There is no way to do this, the three of them are helpless, Chris's teacher can't always be around, and the extraordinary world is so dangerous, one of the three must have the ability to protect everyone.
After discussing this somewhat heavy topic, the three of them washed up and returned to their bedrooms.
Chris sat at his desk in a brown and yellow flannel pajama embroidered with a mechanical clock pattern, pulling on leather slippers, and took out the pocket watch that the teacher gave him today.
He hadn't told Bert and Bonnie about the pocket watch because he didn't know if it was a normal pocket watch.
If it's a magical item in the teacher's mouth, I don't know what the bad effects are, and I have to wait for him to know the answer before I can share it with them.
Chris opened the box and pulled out the pocket watch, which was made entirely of a mixture of gold and unknown metal, and Chris first looked closely at the caseback, which was carved into a hollow shape that resembled an eye.
For some reason, Chris always felt that this eye was a little crazy.
Even though it was only carved in metal cutouts, Chris still felt as if the eye was staring at him.
Chris opens the lid to reveal a white dial with black hands.
In the center of the hand is a small blue diamond.
The first time he looked at the blue diamond during the day, he was in a trance for a moment, but when he looked at it later, he didn't feel that way.
Chris stroked the dial carefully, if there was really a problem, it should be this small blue diamond, after all, Chris also saw a corpse turned into stone and swallowed by himself.
Now Chris already knows that the extraordinary will analyze their extraordinary characteristics after death, and if they are not stored in time, they will become all kinds of strange and magical items.
And if it is preserved in time, it can be used as the main material of the potion of the sequence where the Extraordinary One was alive, and it can also be artificially made into magical items.
Compared with natural formations, man-made magical items are less powerful, but they have far fewer side effects, so they are loved by the majority of extraordinary people, and their prices are also very expensive.
As if playing with this beautifully made pocket watch, Chris suddenly had an idea, holding the silver bracelet of the pocket watch in his right hand, and letting the pocket watch sway gently in front of his eyes.
Because he remembered a kind of metaphysics on earth in his previous life, hypnosis.
After a few seconds, Chris realizes that his thoughts are really starting to slow down, causing Chris to close his eyes and stop shaking his pocket watch.
"You can really hypnotize! What happens if you successfully sleep yourself?"
Chris sitting at the table seemed to be thinking.
After all, in the field of extraordinary, care must be taken at all times.
Chris didn't dare to continue shaking his pocket watch, in case something uncontrollable happened after hypnotizing himself, it would be bad, so let's ask the teacher tomorrow.
Then Chris put the pocket watch back in the gift box, carefully placed it next to the pillow, and lay down in the quilt to sleep.
That night, Chris had a dream in which he turned into a small silver-white snake that was connected from end to end......
However, at seven o'clock the next morning, the living room clock rang and the sun shone through the window, and Chris woke up in a daze.
He felt that he had a long dream last night, but he couldn't remember anything, so much so that he was still a little stunned when he was making breakfast in the kitchen.
What did you dream about? I always think it's a very important thing......
Bonnie held the glass, drinking Chris's hot milk, while staring at Chris, who was stunned.
Bert ate Chris sliced bread with sweet jam and cheese and stared at Bonnie in a daze.
The so-called wonderful fate and subtle emotions may be born in the inadvertent glance, or in the inadvertent day and night relationship.
Fortunately, it's not a bloody love triangle!
Wednesday was morning, inside Oliver's office.
Professor Oliver seems to be in a good mood today, no longer in the usual monotonous outfit of the past: a beige shirt and red embroidered silk waistcoat inside, and a short Clark gown on the outside.
It's like saying to the newly accepted little disciple: study with peace of mind and digest with confidence, the teacher is very rich!
Chris sat across from Oliver, first greeted the teacher, praised him for what he was wearing today, and then took out the gift box containing the pocket watch from the schoolbag behind him, and said:
"Teacher, I tried shaking this pocket watch yesterday and found that it slows my mind...... Does it have the singular power of hypnosis?"
Oliver took the gift box handed by Chris and smiled:
"So, you're hypnotizing yourself?"
"Nope. Chris immediately shook his head, "I stopped shaking it when I noticed something was wrong." ”
Christ paused, shrugged his shoulders, and confessed his timidity, "Actually, I quickly put it back in the box and didn't touch it again until just now. ”
Oliver smiled approvingly, "You don't have anything, but the right kind of caution." You know, even the most powerful and extraordinary person can die on a cat. ”
Here Oliver is a metaphor, the legend is that cats have nine lives, and they never die, and in the end they die of their own curiosity, which shows how terrible curiosity can sometimes be!
As he spoke, he winked at the still immature disciple in front of him, "What you did was right, I don't want to attend your funeral one day." On the extraordinary road, danger is always there, and you often don't know when you will slide into the abyss......"
Chris listened to the teacher's earnest teaching, and a warm current passed through his heart, and then asked, "This pocket watch is really a magical item?"
Oliver opened the gift box and took out his pocket watch:
"Yes, I asked a friend to make it for you. Well...... A magical item with 'hypnosis', 'divination', and 'communication'.
"You already know how to use the first two extraordinary abilities, while the latter needs to wait for you to enter the intermediate sequence, and after you have a strong spirituality, you can hypnotize yourself into dreams and enter the dreams of others, so as to achieve the function of 'communication'. ”
"So many amazing features!" Chris didn't have time to be surprised, and then remembered that the teacher had said before that the greater the power of magical items, the greater the side effects, and asked with some concern:
"Wouldn't it be a big side effect?"
Oliver smiled, "Its side effects are minimal and almost negligible. ”
Looking at the little disciple with anticipation, Oliver continued:
"It's just that every time you use it, you need to throw a gold coin at it, and any country's gold coin will do. ”
