Chapter 31 An expensive start

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

Where on earth did she get this formula? No, I must ask her clearly later. If Esther comes into contact with the gods of those cults, she will be in danger! He took a deep breath, looked back at Esther who was communicating quietly with Admissor, turned around and walked through the vendors to borrow the restroom on this site.

Klein walked into the bathroom, locked the door, lowered the toilet seat and sat on it. After flattening and unfolding the tightly held formula paper, Klein quickly scanned the required materials on it again, put down the citrine pendulum, and performed a divination on the paper.

The uniform clockwise swing means that the formula above is real, and this is the correct sequence nine magic potion of the "monster" path.

The recipe is actually real! My fellow countryman is not simple either. Why did she just leave it to me like this?

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

After Esther came down, Admissor hummed quietly, and then looked at her expectantly.

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

Admissor actually blushed because of this casual compliment, and stared at her with even more joy, like a child who was praised by an respected elder. This made Esther feel a headache. She suddenly had an idea and thought of the things in her pocket. It seems like there are a few fruit candies stuffed in it. This was what Cohen brought to the office two days ago. He happily announced to his colleagues that his long-distance love affair was almost over and he would be engaged in a while. He invited all colleagues who had time to attend the wedding.

Esther took out a fruit candy, which was blue grape flavored. She put the candy in Admissor's palm: "This is a gift for your hard work, try it?"

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

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

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

She is so beautiful that she could be a female star, so pretty!

Esther sighed in her heart and helped the lady with a face full of pain. She saw some red blood flowing out from under her nose. Esther was also surprised. How could someone be so unlucky to fall down? I got a nosebleed.

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

"Thank you..." The beauty replied in a muffled voice, which made Esther think she had fallen into confusion.

"Do you want to sit down and take a rest? You can pinch your nose and gently tap the back of your head. It will make you feel better faster."

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

"It's okay, well, as long as no one comes to chase us away, we'll be fine." Seeing that Admissor didn't show any obvious resistance, Esther took matters into her own hands.

It was not too crowded for three people to sit on this long board. The lady only leaned on the edge and sat on the right side of Esther. Admissor sat on the left side of Esther, staring at the ground awkwardly. From time to time, he quickly glanced at the lady and Esther, then quickly lowered his head, and murmured something incomprehensible. .

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

Esther saw the lady looking at Admissor and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, I don't know why he seems to want to pester me. 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 very happy to have someone to chat with and have a normal conversation with.

The lady did not deny it, nor did she give a direct answer: "I have heard rumors about the 'monster', but I didn't expect anyone to get along with him."

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

The lady was quite surprised: "Oh! This is really... he really likes you."

Something even more surprising happened to the two ladies. Admissor actually replied with this sentence: "No, it is light. It has vision, faith, sacredness, and is a dazzling light."

Esther waved her hand at the surprised lady: "No, no, even if you look at me with that look, I don't know what he is talking about. As you can see, I am 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 curse medium in occultism, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should return it. Although Esther was indeed kind and without any malice, and even seemed quite innocent and easy to deceive, the lady was wary because of her own experience.

Seeing the hesitation on her face, Esther said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'll give it to you! It's just a handkerchief. I have plenty there."

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

The beautiful lady liked how Esther was so considerate. She nodded with a smile and put away the bloody handkerchief: "I will clean it well. If we meet again next time, I will give it back to you." ."

Esther nodded and asked wisely: "Are you going to go shopping? Maybe you can find some useful books."

"Yes, goodbye. Admissor likes you for a reason."

"Exaggerated! Goodbye."

The beautiful lady showed a reserved and shy smile, which was much more natural than her previous beautiful smiles. She waved her hand to Esther and strode towards the aisles between the stalls. Esther seemed to know why she fell. This pretty lady was probably not used to wearing skirts. Judging from the way she walked, it was obvious that she was more used to wearing pants.

"She is also an Extraordinary, right?" Esther asked Admissor next to her.

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

Esther hugged her knees and felt a little confused again: "It's great. Everyone has a direction to move forward. Everyone has a bright future... Is it really okay for me to continue to mess around like this?"

Of course, Admissor didn't understand "showing off". In fact, he didn't reply to Esther's words, but hummed the tune that Esther made him sing last time.

Esther stopped humming along. She looked past the occasional passers-by in the market and stared at the void in a daze.

——

Klein walked through the entire market and helped Esther collect absinthe juice and rainbow butterfly feather cocoon powder. He even went to a room where precious items were sold. It's just that a lot of fragments of the twisted star stone were purchased before, and now only two grams are left. This thing alone cost ten gold pounds, and the remaining fangs and four-leaf clovers are not at all.

Klein replenished the extraordinary materials he needed in the market. Practicing various ritual magics on weekdays consumed a lot of money. This expense made him feel pain. Extraordinary people really spend money like water. It's really enviable." Miss Justice” worry-free start-up capital.

After thinking about it for a while, Klein thought that he could help his fellow villagers collect materials from the Tarot Club, or maybe just drag Esther in? No, forget it. If she thinks the Fool is an evil god and reports me to the captain, it will be a big problem.

The circulation of extraordinary potions on the market is limited. No matter which sequence the formula is, it has its corresponding value. The "Hanged Man" has a wider circle at sea. Maybe the formula can be used for trading. I don't know where the fellow villagers still have it. Is there any other formula? If it comes with a few follow-up formulas, it might be worth a lot of money.

Klein saw a familiar lady with a sweet and gentle appearance. Klein quickly remembered when he had seen her. The last time this unwell lady passed by him on a public carriage. At this time, this beautiful lady was squatting next to a vendor selling occult books, browsing the ancient books on it.

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

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

Admissor noticed someone walking in. After taking a look at the person, he immediately touched the wall nervously, covered his eyes and moved step by step to the corner, facing away from Klein.

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

"There is only a very small part. The fragments of the twisted crystal, the main material, cost five pounds per gram. Only two grams are left, and the snake teeth are completely gone. The auxiliary materials are also short of four-leaf clover. Absinthe juice is very cheap, and the other items cost too much. It's a lot." Klein returned the remaining two gold pounds and seven soles to Esther. Seeing her face full of sorrow, it took a lot of effort to hold back his laughter.

Esther took her severely reduced savings into her arms and said, "Mr. Neil, you must not deceive me. This is really a massive hemorrhage... The fragment still needs twenty-eight grams! I deeply feel my poverty."

"Actually, you can also consider handing in this formula, and then use the merit earned to exchange for materials in the church. It will definitely be more convenient than collecting it yourself. Didn't the captain tell you?"

This idea was something Esther had never thought of. 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 comes from."

Klein took the opportunity to ask a question that he had been thinking about before: "So where did your formula come from?"

"Yes, talk to the owner of a herbal medicine shop. That shop seems to be called Luo."

A name instantly popped into Klein's mind: "Rosen Folk Herbal Shop?"

"Yes, that's the one. I took a carriage to the East District for a walk on my day off, and then I went in out of curiosity."

It was difficult for Klein to suppress the suspicion in his heart: "He just gave you the formula?"

"Yes, I looked at him after I asked, but the boss held his collar as if he was stimulated, then screamed and gave me the formula. I thought he had a bad heart."

This formula has been divined by Klein and it is real. Putting aside Esther's special ability, the store owner is very suspicious. It seems necessary to investigate on the spot.

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

Klein was aroused by this idea: "That has exceeded the scope of 'stealing', right? It's too bizarre that even ideas can 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 sequence ability. The books Old Neil has read to me are obviously wider than yours. From my point of view, there may be some higher mystical power in you."

"That's right. If you can't figure it out, stop thinking about it, otherwise you'll be very annoyed." Esther took out her pocket watch and looked at the time, then 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, otherwise the captain should worry. I can find a way, I really don't know why everyone thinks I need to be taken care of."

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

Klein swallowed his unsaid words. He was still hesitating whether to invite Esther to his house for a meal tonight. Since Esther likes sweets like him, she might also like the lemon cake from Slim Bakery. and sweet iced tea.

Forget it, the days are still long anyway, and you will always find opportunities.

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

Because he still had plans to go to Deville Library to investigate clues, Klein and Esther took a short public carriage ride 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 ingredients in her arms, lamenting her poverty.

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