Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 31 An Expensive Start

Esther directly stuffed the formula of the "monster" into Klein's hand as casually as the few gold pounds, and she was far from showing pity for those few banknotes.

Where did she get this formula from?No, I have to ask her clearly later, if Esther comes into contact with those cult gods, she will be very dangerous!He took a deep breath, looked back at Esther who was whispering with Ademisor, turned around and passed through the vendors, and borrowed the bathroom on this site.

Klein walked into the bathroom and locked the door, and sat down on the toilet seat after it was lowered.After spreading out the tightly packed recipe paper, Klein quickly scanned the required materials on it again, put down the citrine pendulum and did a divination on the paper.

The clockwise swing at a constant speed indicates that the formula above is real, and this is the correct Sequence Nine potion of the "monster" pathway.

The recipe turned out to be real!It's not easy for the fellow, why did she just leave it to me.

Of course, Klein would not be polite. After writing down this effective formula, he had a subtle feeling of picking up the wool of his fellow villagers, so he actively went to the market to help Esther collect materials.

After Esther came down, Ademisor hummed softly, and then looked at her expectantly.

Esther nodded helplessly: "You actually remembered? Most of the tunes are correct."

Ademisor blushed because of this casual praise, and looked at her even more happily, like a child who was praised by an admiring elder, which made Esther feel a headache. It seems to be stuffed with a few fruit candies.This was brought to the office by Ke Enli two days ago. He happily announced to his colleagues that his long-distance love run was coming to an end, and that he would be engaged in a few days. He invited all colleagues who had time to attend the wedding.

Esther took out a fruit candy, which was blue grape flavor, and she put the candy in Ademisor's palm: "This is a gift for your hard work, try it?"

Ademisor stared at the candy for a few seconds, happily put it in his arms, and continued to look at Esther with eyes mixed with longing and admiration, leaving her in a daze.

Just when Esther was hesitating to find something to talk about, a passerby suddenly stumbled and fell not far from the two of them screaming.

Hearing the voice was a lady, Esther quickly walked up two steps and helped her up, only to realize that she was still a very gentle and beautiful beauty.The soft and smooth black hair is scattered behind the head, the round face makes the woman look quite pure, the combination of slender eyes and facial features is sweet, and the light green dress well sets off her gentle and elegant temperament.

A face so pretty that it could be a female star, so pretty!
Esther sighed in her heart, helped the lady with a painful face up, and saw some red blood dripping from her nose, Esther was also very surprised, how could someone be so unlucky and fall I got a nosebleed.

Esther took out her handkerchief and stuffed it into the lady's hand: "Oh, are you okay? Wipe it off quickly."

"Thank you..." The beauty replied in a muffled voice, which made Esther wonder if she had fallen into a daze.

"Would you like to sit down and rest for a while? You can pinch your nose and pat the back of your head gently, it will get better sooner."

The beauty covered her bleeding nose with a handkerchief, her face was flushed red, and her expression was a little charming: "I'm really sorry, won't I disturb you by sitting here?"

"It's okay, um, as long as no one comes to chase us away." Esther saw that Ademisor didn't show any obvious resistance, so she made her own decision.

It is not too crowded for three people to sit on this longboard, and this lady sat on the right side of Esther with a little help from the edge.Ademisor sat on the left of Esther, staring at the ground awkwardly, glanced at the lady and Esther from time to time, then quickly lowered his head, and let out an incomprehensible murmur .

The lady looked at Ademisor's performance curiously, and recalled the young man she had seen a few times before. He was much calmer than the crazy look at that time. Is it the influence of this girl?

Seeing the lady looking at Ademisor, Esther couldn't help sighing: "Oh, I don't know why he seems to want to pester me so much, I can only stay here for a while, and ask my friends to buy it for me. something."

The pretty lady nodded: "He does seem more at ease."

"Have you been here before?" Esther was happy to have someone to chat with her casually and have a normal conversation.

The lady didn't deny it, nor did she answer positively: "I've heard rumors about the 'monster', and I didn't expect anyone to get along with him."

Esther rested her chin on her palm, and looked helplessly at Ademisor, who just happened to look over and showed her a bright smile.

The lady was quite surprised: "Oh! That's really...he really likes you."

What surprised the two ladies even more happened. Ademisor actually replied with this sentence: "No, it's the light. There is longing, faith, sacredness, and the dazzling light."

Esther waved her hand at the surprised lady: "No, no, even if you look at me like that, I don't know what he's talking about. As you can see, I'm a human being, not a candle or a light bulb."

The lady smiled because of this silly self-deprecating remark, which made her sweet face bloom like a rose: "Hahaha, I can see it."

The lady put down the handkerchief. Her nosebleed had stopped, but she still held Esther's handkerchief in her hand. She remembered that blood is a good medium for curses in the occult, and she didn't know whether she should return it or not.Although Esther is indeed very kind and harmless, and even looks quite innocent and easy to deceive, the lady is full of vigilance because of her own experience.

Seeing her hesitation, Esther said indifferently: "It's okay, I'll give it to you! It's just a handkerchief. I have plenty of them."

Esther bought a lot of handkerchiefs, and would choose a different color for the little bug to use as a bed every day. Anyway, the little bug was quite dull inside the Chanis Gate, and had no energy to laugh at her "joy of life".

The pretty lady liked Esther's understanding very much, she nodded with a smile, and put away the bloody handkerchief: "I will wash it well. If we meet again next time, I will return it to you .”

Esther nodded and asked tactfully, "Then are you going shopping? Maybe you can find useful books."

"Yes, goodbye. It's not for nothing that Ademithor likes you."

"Exaggerated! Good-bye."

The beautiful lady showed a reserved and shy smile, which was much more natural than the previous glamorous smiles. She waved to Esther and strode towards the aisle between the small stalls.Esther seemed to know why she fell down. This pretty lady might not be used to wearing skirts very much. Judging by her walking posture, it was obvious that she was more used to wearing pants on weekdays.

"She is also a Extraordinary, isn't she?" Esther asked Ademisor beside her.

Ademisor stared at the lady's back for a while, nodded and said vaguely: "Well, yes."

Esther hugged her knees, and felt a little dazed again: "It's great, everyone has a way forward, and everyone has a bright future... Is it really okay for me to keep messing around like this?"

Of course, Ademisor couldn't understand the "bad show". In fact, he didn't reply to Esther's words, but hummed the tune that Esther brought him to hum last time.

Esther didn't sing along with her anymore, she looked over the occasional pedestrians in the market and stared blankly at the void.

-

Klein walked through the entire market, helping Esther collect absinthe juice and rainbow butterfly cocoon powder, and he even went to a room where precious items were sold.It's just that a lot of fragments of the twisted star stone have been purchased before, and now there are only two grams left. This thing alone cost ten gold pounds, and there are no fangs and four-leaf clover left.

Klein made up for the Extraordinary materials he needed in the market, and practiced all kinds of ritual magic on weekdays. It also consumes a lot of money. This expense made him feel pained. Extraordinary people really spend money like water, which is really enviable." Miss Justice' Carefree Startup Funding.

After thinking about it for a while, Klein thinks that he can collect materials from the Tarot Club in the future, or he can simply pull Esther in?No, forget it, if she treats the fool as an evil god and reports me to the captain, then there will be a big problem.

The circulation of Extraordinary potions in the market is limited, no matter which sequence the formula has its corresponding value. Is there any other formula, if it comes with a few follow-up formulas, maybe it can sell for a lot of money.

Klein saw a familiar lady with a sweet and gentle appearance, and Klein quickly remembered when he had seen her before. The last time this lady who was not feeling well passed him by in a public carriage.At this time, the beautiful lady was squatting beside the occult book vendor, browsing the ancient books on it.

Klein stared at others without being rude. He counted his remaining funds, counted out Esther's remaining money, and returned to the corner where Ademisor was squatting.

Esther was staring at the void in a daze like Ademisor, and Ademisor was humming softly, and the tune was familiar to Klein.This kind of melody seems to be closer to modern popular music, and it is obviously different from the popular classical music or folk songs in the Kingdom of Loen. Esther probably taught him, and the relationship between the two seems to be really good.

Ademisor noticed someone walking in, and after glancing at the person, he immediately touched the base of the wall nervously, covered his eyes and moved to the corner step by step, with his back facing Klein's direction.

Esther came back to her senses and saw that the person approaching was Klein. She felt helpless for Ademisor's exaggerated reaction, but she would not force him out. After all, it was inevitable that Ademisor would be hurt again. Eye.Esther smiled at Klein and said, "You're back? Are there any relevant materials here?"

"Only a very small part. The fragment of the twisted spar of the main material is five gold pounds per gram, and there are only two grams left, and the snake teeth are completely gone. The auxiliary materials are still short of four-leaf clover, and absinthe juice is very cheap. Quite a lot." Klein returned the remaining two gold pounds and seven soli to Esther, seeing her sad face, it took a lot of effort to hold back his smile.

Esther put her severely shrunk savings into her arms: "Mr. Neil is honest with me, this is really a hemorrhage... That fragment needs 28 grams! I deeply feel my poverty."

"Actually, you can also consider handing in this formula, and then exchanging the obtained merits for materials in the church. It is definitely more convenient than collecting them yourself. Didn't the captain tell you?"

Esther never thought of this idea. She looked at Klein with admiration: "So there is such a way! The captain probably forgot to tell me... But I can't explain where this formula came from."

Klein took advantage of the opportunity to raise the question he had been thinking about before: "So where did your formula come from?"

"Yes, talk to the owner of a herbal medicine shop. The name of that shop seems to be Luo."

A name popped out of Klein's mind in an instant: "Rosen Folk Herb Store?"

"That's right, that's the one. I took a carriage to go for a walk in the East District that day on vacation, and then went in out of curiosity."

It was difficult for Klein to suppress the suspicion in his heart: "Is that why he gave you the formula?"

"That's right, I looked at him after I asked, but the boss clutched his collar as if he was irritated, then barked and gave me the formula. I thought he had a bad heart."

Klein has divined this recipe, and it is true. Putting aside Esther's own special ability, the shop owner is very suspicious, so it seems necessary to investigate on the spot.

Esther put her elbows on her arms and rubbed her chin lightly: "Do you think it has something to do with the 'stealer' ability? If you can directly steal memories from other people's heads, then no one will have privacy or secrets, I think It's scary to think about."

Klein was struck with a chill by this idea: "That's already beyond the scope of 'stealing'!? It's too bizarre that ideas will be stolen."

Esther shrugged and said, "I think it's normal, after all, the extraordinary power in this world is quite strange."

"I don't think your situation has anything to do with the sequence ability. The books that Old Neil showed me are obviously wider than yours. From my point of view, it may be that you have some higher mystical power in you."

"That's right, don't think about it if you can't figure it out, or it will be very annoying." Esther took out her pocket watch to check the time, and waved the dial at Klein, "It's getting late."

Klein hesitated for a moment: "Well, you..."

Esther quickly interrupted him: "I have to go back, or the captain should worry. I can find my way, I don't know why everyone thinks I need to be taken care of."

"... After all, you are the youngest in the team."

Klein swallowed what he didn't say. He was still hesitating whether to invite Esther to have a meal at home tonight. Since Esther likes sweets like him, maybe he would also like the lemon cake from Sling Bakery and sweet iced tea.

Forget it, anyway, the days to come are still long, and there will always be opportunities.

Klein pressed the brim of his hat and thought with a smile.

Because there was still a plan to go to the Deville Library to investigate clues, Klein and Esther took a short section of the public carriage together, and then got off halfway.

"Goodbye, Klein."

"See you tomorrow, Esther."

The two waved goodbye to each other, and Esther patted the expensive potion materials in her arms, lamenting her poverty.

She gradually understood Klein and Old Neil's love for "reimbursement".

　Small four thousand, add more.Thank you so much, and a pleasure to meet you.

　　Thank you Miao Xiaoyu for your tip!
