Alexander's Memoirs - Under the Rule of the Rat Chapter 17 You are strengthened, come on
The weather today is very cool, and there is no dust in the air. Feeling the wind in the early sunshine, Brandon, who was standing by the door, knocked on the office door, and Davis Bryan's voice came out: "Come in.
Bar."
Alexander carefully opened the door and poked his head inside: "Excuse me."
On the table that was re-erected, there was a bottle of turbid blue potion and four small packages of items wrapped in opaque bags - judging from the edges and corners, they were not coins. Davis Bryan sat at the table facing a
He piled up documents and corrected them, but he said without looking too high: "This is Richard's personal gratitude, your legal return."
"It seems that the negotiation has been completed." Alexander thought it would be better if he gave the money directly, then he touched the table and said, "Thank you very much. Is there any other news?"
Davis Bryan raised his head and glanced at Alexander and said, "Here is another letter that Richard asked me to give to you. There is nothing else related to you." He took out a letter from the drawer.
Wax untouched letters.
Alexander took the letter and opened it and read it. It contained a description of a non-side-effect-enhancing potion made from various material ratios. These enhanced liquids and materials were enough for four people.
"Well..." Alexander handed the letter to others to read, collected the original liquid and materials, and then said: "In this case, is this matter also over...do you really not need our help with the evil priest's matter?"
"That's not the level you can participate in." Davis Bryan said solemnly, and then continued to work on the documents.
Alexander thought about what was going on, scratched his head in embarrassment and glanced at his companions before saying, "That's it... then we still have some things to do, so be careful."
Five people exited the street office on United Commercial Street. Alexander opened one of the bags in his hand, which contained dried purple herbs, animal bone powder, etc., and even a yellow opaque crystal that shone under the sun.
. She sealed the bag and put it away and said to her companion: "Go back to the hotel and use these first, so as not to have a long night and dream."
"Yes." Qiu Demi nodded, and Raphael also nodded.
"Then let's go." Pai Weng looked around and replied casually. He followed the team while remaining vigilant. Things that can enhance physical abilities are definitely good things and cannot be snatched away.
Brandon took one last look at the office with the door closed, and followed the four people back to the hotel.
"You guys take the potion, I'll come and see the door." It was a right decision to open a room for one day yesterday. After asking for four glasses of water, the five of them went upstairs. After entering the door, Brandon leaned against the door.
"Well, I'd better come and see the door." Alexander distributed the four materials to Qiu Demi, Brandon, Paion and Raphael, then placed the original solution on the bedside table and said: "That bottle of photographed strong body
I'll take the potion first, remember to take it according to the method."
"Understood." Pai Weng took the materials.
"Okay." Qiu Demi stared at the original solution for a while, nodded, drank all the water in the wooden cup, and then began to stir the original solution and start the operation.
Raphael was also beside him, putting the ingredients into his cup of original solution one by one as Alexander said.
Only Brandon did not accept the materials. He said firmly: "The Oathbinder will not use external force to improve himself."
Alexander looked at him with tangled eyes and said: "Oh..." She was a little downcast. "Why are there such things that are mutually exclusive? Then I'll eat them, ouch."
"Remember, you have to add a little bit of your own blood to dissolve it, right?" Pai Weng weighed the crystal in his hand and tried it according to the method written in the letter Alexander gave him before. Fortunately, his body fluids were still there.
The effect of blood can be simulated normally.
This gift was really precious, but Qiu Demi no longer hesitated. He made a slight cut on his hand and squeezed out the blood and dripped it on the crystal.
Alexander followed suit. After taking the medicine that dissolved various ingredients and mixed them into the original solution to turn into a white opaque medicine, she felt a strong sense of fatigue. She covered her head and reluctantly walked to the bed and fell down.
Several people fell into a deep sleep, and when they woke up again it was already night. Brandon was fiddling with the sheathed sword and sitting on the ground leaning against the wall next to the door.
The four people lying on the ground or on the bed were all covered in stinky sweat, and there was black dirt oozing from their necks, which was probably impurities.
"It's really... ah, I can't stand it anymore." Alexander got up from the ground: "I remember there is a place to take a shower, right?" She entered the bathroom and then stretched her head out to look into the room: "Qiu Demi, do you want to come and take a shower together?
Save some time."
"Okay..." Qiu Demi responded and nodded dully, then followed in with slightly frivolous steps.
"I spent a little tip to get some information, and the total was six paise including food." Unlike the nervous Paion and Raphael, Brandon blushed a little when he heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
, he raised his voice and said this to Raphael and Paion in order to cover the sound of the water.
Thinking about it this way, this guy gave all his money to Alexander before, so he must have taken the money from the two of them. After all, he would not take the money while Qiu Demi and Alexander were sleeping.
"This is not important." Raphael has never had money, and he always has the temperament to eat whatever he wants.
"Six paise... not bad." Pai Weng felt a little distressed. After all, in the past, the money he spent buying information from Yiri in a month might not exceed five paise. This kid must have been ripped off.
"At four o'clock this morning, the hotel owner discovered an attacker by a window on the second floor of the Nishili Chamber of Commerce during his night patrol. The guy's skin was pale, and his blood vessels and veins were almost bursting out. He could see through his overly long fingernails and
The barbed toes were crawling on the wall, but luckily the boss blasted this weirdo's head with a stone." Brandon said and compared the size of the stone - it was only half the size of a fist.
"One stone... How long will it take me to do this?" Pai Weng sighed after being silent for a while.
"Sounds a bit like an unclean creature? Are there no ritual incantation symbols on the skin?" Alexander's voice came from the bathroom again.
"No, I think they are probably the vampire's blood slaves. At ten o'clock in the morning, the church announced a curfew, and no one is allowed to go out after nine o'clock in the evening. The Gray Rat Thieves Group will also cooperate with the church's investigation. Finally, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the United
An explosion occurred in an alchemy props store on the commercial street. At the same time, several adventurer corpses were found at the junction of the slums and the commercial street. The cause of death was bites." Brandon seemed to have some knowledge of vampires.
"Vampire's blood slave?" Alexander could probably guess what it was for, so he continued: "Why are vampires running around outside? Nine o'clock curfew? What time is it now? Do we have a chance to talk to Mr. Bryan?
Talk about acting together with the church people? Leaving aside the explosion, what kind of bite wounds are they?"
"Well...it will be nine o'clock soon. It bites like a wolf-like beast, I guess..." Brandon didn't finish his sentence. Maybe the Oathbinder has studied these things, but he is a more rigorous person.
guy.
"...Then it's too late after we finish taking a shower. A wolf-like beast? It's not a werewolf, right?" Alexander didn't even think about Susie's head, because it was too far away.
"I don't know if that's true, but it's possible." Brandon shook his head and explained: "After all, vampires are the enemies of werewolves."
"Sigh." After taking a shower, Alexander wiped the stains on the leather armor and bow, then put on her clothes and walked out. She tried to sense the magic power fluctuations around her again, and got the ability to refine the magic power from the crystals.
The first ability has not expired, and there is still that "feeling" of making arrows engulfed with lightning energy.
"We will be locked up here tonight? If I had known, I should have taken medicine at night." Alexander muttered, put on the wet leather armor and waited for Qiu Demi to leave the bathroom, then took the bow and pulled her down with all the equipment.
I bought dinner upstairs - I planned to simply order three barbecue set meals, but I was really hungry.
Alexander walked down the stairs. On the first floor, there was only one bartender wiping glasses. The other adventurers and workers had already left. Even the table and floor had been cleaned. In the past, the drinkers were still noisy.
Alexander looked at the hall in confusion, approached the bartender and said, "Is it still open? Why is there no one there?"
"Curfew." The bartender continued wiping clean glasses without raising his head.
"Ah? Aren't there many people planning to live here? Is it still open for business?" He said so, but Alexander could also see that the door was not closed, and the lights in the hall were bright, so it should be open for business.
"The chef hasn't left yet, you can order food." The bartender seemed unwilling to say another word.
"Thank you for the three barbecue sets." Alexander was a little puzzled. How could this character not be stabbed in the night? This is the lawless town of Tours.
"Wait a moment." The bartender walked towards the back kitchen curtain and ordered the set menu for the two of them.
Qiu Demi took advantage of the opportunity to look at the kitchen through the gap in the door curtain. She just took a look, and then turned back if she couldn't see anything. Looking at it, she saw a dazzling array of kitchen utensils and cabbages and tomatoes arranged on the kitchen table, and she fainted.
The cook dressed as an ordinary person who was about to sleep was sitting on a chair and had just finished his rest and was about to get up.
In order to cover Qiu Demi's sight, Alexander stood in front of the counter and looked around and waited. Although he was battling with the air, there was absolutely nothing wrong with being cautious in this place.
It didn't take long for the bartender to replace the waiter and bring the dishes to the counter one by one. The waiter must have gone back to rest.
"Thank you." Alexander paid and went back to the room with Qiu Demi carrying the food. The bartender continued to wipe the glasses expressionlessly after the two left.
"Eat quickly, remember to leave some for Raphael." Alexander sat on the edge of the bed and began to eat meat. Qiu Demi did not refuse. He sat on the edge of the bed opposite Alexander and swallowed all the food in front of him.
After eating, Alexander walked to the window to observe the situation outside. The noise in the square and commercial street disappeared, and the town was no longer the lively town before.
Now that Alexander and Qiu Demi were back, Pai Weng got into the bathroom and planned to wash it quickly to absorb moisture and moisturize his broken body.
"Paion, wait for me!" Raphael didn't bother to eat and lowered his voice, but also went to the bathroom to take a bath. This may not save much water, but if the paion is used up, then there is no need to wash. Fortunately, the paion
Remember to leave half of the bucket of water for him, but it’s really a bit gay for two grown men to take a bath together in a small bathroom...
After Pai Weng cleaned up the dirt on his body, he couldn't figure out why there was so much dirt on his body when his body structure was obviously more like a plant. He couldn't figure it out, so he could only rub his face vigorously, get dressed and leave the bathroom.
After Raphael washed up and came out, he started to eat. While eating, he whispered: "There is a curfew at night. What are we doing? We have slept all day, so we can't sleep at night."
"Anyway, I just slept. I'll stand here and watch. I have to keep an eye on Brandon. You guys... go downstairs to buy a glass of wine and sit down and drink slowly?" Alexander still looked out the window.
"Okay, let me take a nap then? I haven't slept a wink in the past few days." Although Qiu Demi said there was no need for sleep, sleeping was also a kind of enjoyment for her.
"If you want to drink, Raphael should go down and drink." Paion walked to the window and followed Alexander to look outside.
"What I mean is that I'm here to keep an eye on it. For example, if I see Mr. Brian chasing someone, I will burst out a lightning shot to remind you. You can just rush out." Alexander was always worried about the previous incident.
matter.
"That's fine... I'll leave it until next time to sleep." Qiu Demi nodded helplessly, she didn't really want to get involved in that matter.
"Okay, let's go downstairs and buy some wine and have a rest." After Pai Weng asked for the money, he went downstairs with Raphael to buy two glasses of the cheapest wine, and found a seat near the door to sit down. Qiu Demi paid.
He took out his own wine bottle and took two sips before going down slowly.
At this time, the proprietress of the hotel was taking out a bottle of good red wine from the counter and pouring a glass for herself and the bartender. The two of them said nothing. The bartender looked at the glass of wine.
, and drank it all in a few seconds, which was really a wasteful way of drinking. But the proprietress slowly shook the glass while drinking, and looked at Paion and Raphael a few times.
Pai Weng lowered his head to avoid the gaze of the landlady for fear of getting into trouble, but Raphael did not avoid it. Instead, he turned around and inspected the store and outside, which was also a method.
After Qiu Demi walked down the stairs, the landlady drank the rest of the wine. She smiled inexplicably, leaving the bartender to walk up the stairs alone.
After the bartender closed the door, the three of them went upstairs to the room. Brandon was still sleeping soundly. So Qiu Demi also lay down on the bed to rest, and Alexander, Paion and Raphael took turns keeping watch.
A night without words...
"Good morning, everyone." Brandon sat up and stretched before putting on his shoes and standing up.
"Good morning." Alexander closed the window and turned to look at Brandon and said, "There didn't seem to be much movement last night."
"I haven't seen any action by the patrolling soldiers here." Although Raphael didn't sleep all night, he was in good spirits.
"Well... Anyway, since there was nothing happening last night, let's go to the church today." Alexander began to check the equipment and prepare to leave, and then added: ""Pastor Helena's situation yesterday made me very uneasy.
, I'm thinking of going to her to see if I can use the healing magic today."
There were some discussions outside the window, but no one was seen when the window was opened. The owner of the voice walked to the front of the hotel and stopped. The content of what he said should be something happened in the square. After that, the owner of the voice walked further and further away.
.
"Um? Did something happen outside?" Alexander went directly downstairs to take a look. Brandon quickly put on his armor, but it took a while.
"Let's go take a look together?" Qiu Demi turned around and shook Pai Weng, who was still confused, and then went downstairs with Raphael.
"What's going on outside?" Pai Weng rubbed his eyes and cheered up. Only Brandon was left in the room. After receiving the answer, Pai Weng waited for Brandon for a while, and then the two of them went downstairs to return the key.
Walking out of the hotel door, the three of them saw many workers gathered at the entrance of the carriage house, and they could not see the Sand Lizard team that was supposed to set off for the mine at this point.
Alexander had a bad premonition in his heart, and turned to Qiu Demi and said, "Let's go and have a look." The latter nodded, leaving Raphael here to wait for Brandon and Paion, and then went over together.
Alexander and Qiu Demi heard the true story of the matter from the protesting workers: probably the soldiers guarding the gate said that there was an accident on the way to the mine, and the Sand Lizard team was not allowed to go out today. Richard had no choice but to let
The Countercurrent Chamber of Commerce has intervened in this matter and is currently investigating.
"Waiting like this is not an option. I don't think vampires can act rashly now even if they have spies... How about we go to Richard and ask about this? We are still short of money anyway." Alexander in Chudemir
He said in a very soft voice.
Although Qiu Demi agreed, after watching for a while, only a small number of workers went home cursing, while most of them were still here waiting for a transfer, surrounding the carriages and horses.
"Well, it seems we can't squeeze in." Alexander looked at the group of people worriedly and said, "We'd better go to the church to find Pastor Helena first. Maybe everyone will disperse when we come back."
"That's fine, I'll wait outside the church." As usual, Qiu Demi insisted not to enter the church.
"Um...you just have to wait outside." Alexander was still confused about this. After all, it was Qiu Demi's secret and it was hard to ask, so she walked to the church.
"Are you going to block all the people in the town?" After Pai Weng and Brandon came down, the former took a breath and walked over to take a look.
"Qiu Demi and the others have already gone to the church. If they don't leave, we can just squeeze in and they won't dare to stop us." Raphael didn't care about the crowded workers, but Brandon was there.
The two of them curled their lips and disagreed. This chapter has been completed!
