Chapter 160 An unexpected encounter (thanks to Tunwei Yue for the reward to the Silver Alliance)
Hearing Jenna's complaint, Franka smiled secretly and said:
"This is normal. As long as you master the role-playing method, promotion is very fast before the mid-level. The speed of saving money often cannot keep up with the expenditure on purchasing potion formulas and corresponding materials."
"You don't have to worry about money. Sequence 7 of the 'Assassin' path is a node of qualitative change, which can greatly improve your combat ability and life-saving ability. You also know that there may be a disaster next, and you can only become a 'Witch'
', coupled with the 'bloodthirsty arrow', only then can you hope to survive and protect the people you want to protect.
Jian Na was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slowly, and then said "one":
"You instigated me even without your ability!"
"Haha, this is just a matter of fact and truth. Now I will give you the 'witch's' potion formula, and we can start collecting it." Franka said as she returned to the coffee table, spread out the paper, and started writing quickly.
Jenna stood up and stood next to her, looking at the Intis words being formed one by one.
At the same time, Jian Na silently calculated her debt in her mind:
"Including the remuneration from the "Purifier" and the income from underground singers, I have saved nearly 10,000 Firkin in total.
"According to Franka and Charles, the Sequence 7 potion formula is worth 30,000 to 40,000 fils gold depending on whether it is common. At the minimum, I have to owe Franka another 30,000 fils gold.
Gold, totaling 60,000..."
"Even if I sell the Bloodthirster's Arrow, I can't make up for it. Then I have to buy various materials for the witch's potion, which will cost more than 30,000 Firkin... One! No wonder those occult gatherings
Here, many extraordinary people behave very poor and like to care about others!
The more Jiana thought about it, the more her head hurt.
If the potion hadn't brought about tangible changes and intuitive abilities, she would have doubted whether she had fallen into a scam. How come the harder she worked, the more she owed?
In the past, their family often felt desperate when faced with a debt of several thousand Felkin, but now, she owed Franca 60,000, and it would continue to grow in the foreseeable future.
Even if all the cash and assets she owns are taken into account, there is still a shortfall of tens of thousands of ferkin.
Gritting her teeth, Jianna decided to put these worries behind her and wait until she became a "witch" and was promoted to Sequence 7 before she considered it.
Soon, Franka wrote the recipe for the "witch" potion:
"Sequence 7: Witch;
"Main materials: all the blood of the Black Abyss Demonic Fish, the eggs of the agate peacock;
"Supplementary materials: 80 ml of pure water, 5 drops of golden mandala juice, three shadow lizard scales, 10 drops of narcissus juice.
After handing the paper with the formula written on it to Jiana, Franka thought about it and said:
Don't collect these materials from the occult gatherings we share. Get them from the gathering you discovered and joined and the "Purifiers". Well, ask Ciel for help."
She was still in the assessment period for the witch sect, and she was worried that the secretive organization's spies were present at the occult gathering she attended. By then, if any participants collected materials for "witch" potions, suspicion would inevitably arouse.
Comparatively speaking, the probability of obtaining materials from "Purifiers" is higher. After all, the official Extraordinaries have disposed of a lot of "Witches", and there must be corresponding Extraordinary characteristics retained.
Of course, Franka will also help inquire and collect information at the "Curly Baboon Research Society" and tell Jenna in advance.
"Okay." Jenna probably knew about the existence of the Witch Sect and their malice toward wild "assassins" like herself.
When Janna memorized the formula of the "Witch" potion, Franka asked with concern:
"Has your brother left Trier?"
After discovering that the evil god organizations were unusually quiet and confirmed by the Major Arcana card, Lumian and Franka suggested that Janna and her brother Julian leave Trier and live in another city in Intis for half a year.
Wait and see the situation.
Jenna expressed her attitude fiercely, hoping to stay with her companions, and promised to improve her rank as soon as possible.
This was the main reason why she accepted Franka's gift just now without any hesitation for too long.
As for her brother Julian, Jenna really didn’t want him to be involved in an occult disaster again and wanted him to live well. During this time, she had been busy instigating him to leave Trier.
"I went to Port Russell last weekend." Jenna smiled unconsciously.
The port of Leuser is located at the mouth of the Serenzo River and is one of the main ports for Trier's cargo to go to sea.
Franka was surprised and happy for her companion:
"Did you successfully instigate that stubborn and stubborn guy?"
Without disclosing the true situation.
"No." Jenna shook her head calmly, with a hint of pride in her expression, "I changed the target of my instigation. I found out that the shipyard where Julian worked had a branch in Port Russell, so I used my 'instigation' ability to let him
Their supervisor proposed a technical personnel exchange and learning plan between factories for half a year, and then spent money to add a quota and put Julian on the list.
"I just finished digesting the potion after completing this instigation. Shit, Julian didn't listen to me no matter what I said. He regretted it the next day after the 'instigation' was completed. And as soon as his supervisor gave the order, he started to clean up.
Baggage is here!”
After scolding her brother a few words, Jian Na pursed her lips, looked at Franka, and deliberately added:
“The skilled workers from Trier to Russell Port went there last weekend, while the part from Russell Port to Trier will be delayed half a year to avoid possible disasters.
"Franka, why don't we think of a way to get more people to leave Trier for a while?"
"They don't believe me even if I tell you." Franka said "Hey", "Moreover, there are more people leaving, and those evil god organizations may notice it and start taking action in advance. By then, if the official extraordinary people are not ready,
, the number of casualties will be even greater.”
What Franka didn't say was that, based on Ms. Judgment's words and the information Ciel had, Trier on the ground existed to seal the Trier underground, and everyone here was "contributing" their strength.
, if too many people leave, the seal is likely to fail, and all remaining citizens will die.
Jian Na was silent for a while and did not dwell on this topic anymore.
Her upbringing and experience in the past six months have long taught her to accept the cruel reality. All she can do is try her best to save some within a reasonable range.
After more than ten seconds, Jian Na said thoughtfully:
When "I" instigated the supervisor to propose an exchange learning plan, many nearby factories had similar arrangements, so I had examples to give, and it was successful without too much difficulty.
"Looking back now, wouldn't it be a secret organization organized by the official Beyonders to reduce the population in the market area as much as possible?"
"It's possible." Franka thought for a few seconds and closed her mouth hesitantly.
What she wanted to say was, "It could also be done by the 'Tarot Society' or the Church of Fools." The Major Arcana card "Justice" in the "Audience" field is very suitable for doing similar things.
The reason Franka didn't say anything was because she hadn't told Jenna that she and Ciel believed in Mr. Fool.
She originally had this arrangement and planned to take Jenna to "visit" the Church of the Fool at Lavigne Pier, but after entering the sight of the Witch Cult, she did not dare to do so.
Well, we can only let Charles take Jenna to Lavini Pier. If she can convert to Mr. Fool, it will be much safer in the future... Franka's thoughts turned to Lumian.
On a four-wheeled carriage driving among the woods and farmland, Lumian, who was wearing casual formal attire, looked at the golden harvest outside the window, his thoughts wandering to nowhere.
This month or so has been the most leisurely period of time for him in the past six months, but he has not enjoyed a similar leisurely mood at all, seizing every opportunity to digest the "Arsonist" potion.
This includes going to the island morgue to help "cremate" corpses, "burying" abandoned large garbage, going underground to use flames to intimidate passing smuggling teams, and using fires to help some small businessmen in trouble successfully obtain insurance compensation.
Tracking several wanted criminals turned them into charred corpses, and ignited a trend of leaving Trier to pursue opportunities in surrounding cities...
This series of actions puts Lumian only one step away from completely digesting the "Arsonist" potion. It may be completed in another half month, maybe a week, or even less.
Today, Lumian was invited by Count Impuyver to his Red Swan Castle.
This member of the Sauron family has held five gatherings in the past month or so, one at the castle, one for hunting, two for chatting in a cafe, and once for a masquerade in an abandoned house.
Lumian participated every time, but nothing happened. The only abnormality was that Puyfer Sauron never played the king cake game again.
Where is the test that Gardner Martin mentioned? Could it be a test this time? The guys from the Cave Association didn't show up again. Did they believe what I said? Lumian withdrew his gaze from the farmland near the harvest and thought.
Today's invitation.
What he was even more curious about was that Gardner Martin said that he would secretly keep an eye on every gathering convened by Count Puiver. So where would he be hiding now?
Under the afternoon sun, the carriage arrived at its destination.
Lumian looked up at the beige castle stained with ancient blood, passed through the heavy door and wide atrium, and arrived at the large living room on the first floor, which was covered with thick dark red carpets and elegantly decorated.
Puyver Soren, wearing a red velvet coat, was chatting at the entrance and came directly with a guest to greet him.
Lumian's gaze suddenly froze.
The guest next to Count Puyver was someone he had not expected.
The man was wearing a hunting suit, his hair seemed to be dyed red, and his brown eyebrows and eyes were extremely sharp. He was clearly Albus, another member of the "Iron Cross".
Members of the "Iron Cross" who belong to "Sir" Gardner Martin, Lumian basically knows their apparent identities and what they are doing. Only Albus is mysterious and rare.
Appears in the market area and just comes here for a good meal every time there is a gathering.
"Who is this?" Lumian did not hide his doubts.
Is this to help you complete your mission?
Puyver Soren introduced with a smile:
"A new friend, he will often attend our gatherings in the future."
Having said this, Puiver glanced at Albus, who had an unpleasant expression, and said with a smile:
"His full name is: "Albus Medici."
