The Voyage of Exchange——Chapter 11 Strengthening Surgery
The boss and waiter's uncle had an impression of Alter, who had been here once a few years ago, but that was all. After opening the room, he continued to close his eyes and meditate. Since this dilapidated hotel also provided dinner - fried beans and
Bread and soup with few ingredients kept her from going hungry.
Erte held the bread in her hand, ate the beans and chewed the soup slowly, thinking that this was the most comfortable dinner she had had in recent times. After eating, she wiped the crumbs from her mouth and replied
I went to rest in my own room.
After a dreamless night, the next morning came, and the biological clock dutifully woke up Erte. She felt comfortable sleeping, got up, washed and got dressed, and then got up to go to the Explorers Association.
Alte arrived at the association several hours earlier than the agreed time. What should she do before lunch time ended? Seeing that the scheduled time was still early, she planned to go to the lobby and ask the front desk what kind of weapons were sold at the association headquarters.
Places equipped with medicines and the like.
The headquarters is very efficient, so naturally not one counter in the lobby can play all the roles. At the counter in the lobby, Alter learned that the commission for processing materials and manufacturing equipment was carried out in a place called the forging room. And the potion
Sales and special manufacturing orders are carried out in the brewing room.
After Erte learned about the place where equipment was forged and medicines were sold, he first went to a place with more people to see if any explorers with loud tongues were discussing news that he didn't know.
But if it weren't for the lobby of the association headquarters, there must be people like this. However, in Northria, where faction competition is fierce, everyone is very busy, whether they are conquering dungeons or preparing to conquer dungeons.
Especially because of the serious friction between the various factions, celebrations are all held in pubs, and it seems that only the lobby of the association headquarters does not provide alcohol. If the two strongest factions fight, maybe the headquarters will not be able to deal with it. This city
I'm afraid it will be destroyed.
Alter felt that the atmosphere here was very tense. There were no relaxed explorers gathering together to chat. The escort planned to go to the dispensing room to see what types of potions the association sold to satisfy his curiosity.
After wandering around for a while, Erte saw that it was almost time to meet with the president, and planned to meet him. She entered the president's room for the second time, but the vice president she met the first time was not there today.
.
The middle-aged man with blond hair and a sturdy back sitting in front of the table is the president. This is what Alter heard from other explorers. In fact, this description is also very vivid. "Hello, Mr. President.
, my name is Alter Magloirewood, you informed me to come to see you today, what's the matter?"
"Don't use honorifics." Hui Hui put one hand on his forehead. "I should also use "I am" here. You must have been distracted when I was teaching etiquette before." He sighed. "If this continues, let's not talk about what's wrong with you.
Can dragon blood increase your lifespan so that you won’t be able to pay off your debts within a hundred years?”
"I'm sorry about this. When the saint met me, she also said that I was not qualified as an explorer. But this is a digression. The president found me, an unqualified adventurer, because he needed me.
What are you doing?" Upon hearing this, Erte immediately changed his lame honorifics and switched to the way he spoke when he traveled abroad all year round.
"From the standpoint of the association, the senior management needs you to have the corresponding strength for reciprocal investment, but any method that generates sufficient value for the association in a short period of time is dangerous. I am personally opposed to it." The president put down his hands and revealed.
Removed the wrinkles on my forehead.
"In recent years, the association has successfully completed many enhancement surgeries, but these are all experimental in nature, and there is no way to guarantee a rough success rate. Due to your inhuman characteristics, the research department has put forward several questions about you.
New experiment, this is not mandatory, you can think about it before deciding."
The president paused and continued: "Following this address, you can find an explorer who has undergone intensive surgery and gain an understanding of the side effects of the surgery." The president picked up a soft piece of paper on the table and injected it with a trace of
With the weak magic power, the piece of paper suddenly became as hard as iron, and then the president threw it towards Alter.
Alter caught the piece of paper. "I have indeed failed to demonstrate the strength to match the association's training resources, and I feel deeply ashamed of this. If there are no other instructions, I hope to learn the details now."
"That's it. I don't want to interfere too much with your choice. Freedom and restraint are just things like this." The president waved his hand and picked up the carving knife again. At the same time, the paper became soft again.
"I understand, then I won't bother you any more." Alter glanced at the address written on the piece of paper, turned around and left the president's office. Sure enough, the piece of paper spontaneously ignited and turned into ashes after leaving the office. The address on it was quite good.
Look, it's a very famous tavern. Even Alter, who has never lived in Northria, knows about this tavern. You can definitely find it by just asking a few people for its location.
Erte recalled the first time he saw the Saint and the Vice President. The first time he saw the Saint of Redemption was during a routine prayer in the church, when she treated a fainted passerby. That was also Erte's time.
I happened across it when I was taken by a guide to visit the temple.
As for the vice-president, it was naturally the first time she came to the association. She was personally received by the vice-president as soon as she arrived at the association, which also triggered a low-pitched discussion among the explorers in the hall. She is a serious woman and takes her work very seriously, but she also
Those are the written declarations.
Then Erte left the association headquarters to ask the passing explorers about the location of the tavern, intending to go to this address.
This tavern is famous because the person who opened this tavern is a retired legendary explorer. At the same time, this tavern has many powerful free explorers who exchange poor channels with each other, which can be regarded as mutual help.
As soon as Alter arrived at the door of this grand, tall, one-story tavern, he saw the person he was looking for - he had orange hair all over his body, animal ears on his head, and a tail stretched out gently from the gap between the high-backed pine chairs.
Shaking it gently, it was grabbing a wooden wine glass with its paws and drinking heavily. Speaking of side effects, the most intuitive one is probably the direct change in appearance. Viewed from the back, this person looks exactly like an upright feline.
Most of the explorers here were quietly drinking in front of them, but there were a few tables that were noisy. They were probably all faction adventurers, and this person was also at one of them. Alter walked straight to the one who looked like
He stood next to the cat and patted it on the shoulder. "The president said that I can learn about the intensive surgery from you, so let me come to you now."
Cat Man turned to look at Erte, and his hands that slipped down were covered with cat hair. "Damn it, this damn old man. You also saw this body. Xia Tian was so worried that he was losing hair all the time. Damn it." Cat Man's
The voice is relatively neutral, but you can still tell it's a woman.
"Those transformation surgeries in the research department have more or less side effects. I'm afraid the old man asked you to come here just to prepare you mentally. If you have nothing else, you can leave." Her cat eyes shrank slightly and she continued: "Maybe
If you are going to die, it is best to write a suicide note."
Then the catman also stretched out his paw and patted Alter's shoulder, then turned around to get the wine glass.
"This is a rare kindness from the Explorers Association, and with the strength I have shown now, they definitely hope that I will accept this kindness so that I can continue to repay the debt." Erquet smiled. "I can wait until you finish enjoying it and go together.
, Anyway, I am just alone now, no one except the association cares about my life or death."
"Did the old man ask me? Damn it, go on your own and turn left on the fourth floor underground. I'll have to sneeze all day to get to that damn place." Cat Man was not happy.
"Huh? Isn't that right under this pub? What a surprise." Alter shrugged, pushed open the door of the pub, and headed towards the surface gate of the Explorers Association headquarters.
Faction explorers gathered in small groups beside the gate, and acquaintances of the staff were chatting and walking by themselves. This was a sad scene in the hearts of lonely people.
From the splendid stairs to the floor of the fourth underground floor, Alter turned left. The further he walked, the more he could smell a strange smell. It couldn't be described as unpleasant.
Erte's expression was distorted by the smell, and he suddenly understood why the cat-shaped woman disliked this place so much. What was different from other floors was that there was no door in a large area near the end, and on the left hand side at the end.
It was a white metal door made of a different material than the other doors, and the smell came from the cracks in the door.
Then Erte pinched her nose and tried to push open the metal door. But it was very cold and motionless... So she patted the door hard. "Hello, is anyone here? I am an explorer here to undergo transformation surgery."
After the dull voice, a female voice shouted, "Wait a moment." However, after a while, footsteps came over and something behind the door was turned. It creaked several times before the door opened.
Alte murmured inwardly as he pushed the door open and entered. Looking in through the slowly opening crack of the door, a woman with short blond hair and short sleeves and a white robe was twisting the device behind the door. "Name?"
age?"
"Eart, nineteen years old." After she said this, the woman in white robe smacked her tongue, turned around and walked inside.
Naturally, Alter followed, and the space on the left was quite large, filled with various machines that she didn't understand and had never seen before, while the filing cabinets on the right blocked the wall.
The woman in white robe walked a few steps and opened the drawer of a metal table and took out a form. "Can you read and write? If so, fill it in."
Erte took the form and looked at what was on it. But it was basically a disclaimer. In short, the research department was not responsible for the vast majority of accidents, and the explorer who underwent the surgery personally borne the risk of the surgery. But it was equal.
, and there is no need to pay for expensive materials.
