"My charges are very high." The fat pharmacist said casually with a smile on his round face.
"As long as it's not too high, I can accept it."
Rawls took back the herbal list from the boss and handed it to the fat pharmacist.
The fat pharmacist who reached out to take the list did not look at the list in his hand first. He looked up and down at Rawls, who was wearing worker's clothes, and shook his head slightly. In his opinion, even if the worker in front of him was very strong, he didn't think he could pay.
His medical fee.
But after just glancing at the list, the fat pharmacist looked away from the piece of paper, his eyebrows furrowed and then raised, his eyes rolled up to look at the tall Rawls in front of him, his round face tightened.
It is not difficult for him to distinguish the herbs with ancient names on the list. However, the herbs on the list can be used to prepare several therapeutic potions, some of which he has only a vague impression of.
But if you use the herbs from this herbal shop to prepare therapeutic potions, the effect will be very good for ordinary people, but for those extraordinary people, the effect will be very poor. After all, these are just ordinary herbs and contain very little spirituality.
, that’s why he purchased these herbs in large quantities, and then “tamed” them with his ability before they could be prepared into potions for treating extraordinary people.
Although there are many kinds of herbs on it, the required quantity is far from enough, unless the person preparing the medicine is Sequence 8 or Sequence 7 of the "Pharmacist" path.
As a member of the "School of Life", although he is far away from the Rhoside Islands, he still has some understanding of what happened in his own organization. There was civil strife in the organization, and Extraordinaries from the two paths fought with each other.
Darkwill is a "Medicine Master" in Sequence 9, but his teacher is an Extraordinary of the "Monster" pathway. He is naturally classified as a "Monster" pathway, but his side is obviously the disadvantaged side, so Dark the Fat Pharmacist
Will kept his teacher's teachings in mind, always used pseudonyms and only stayed in each city for two or three months before leaving, just to avoid the law the old man said.
It's not that coincidental, right? I haven't been in Backlund for a long time...
Turning his attention to the list of herbal medicines in his hand again, the fat pharmacist's face gradually became serious. He looked up at Rawls and waved the paper in his hand:
"Well... the pharmacist who prescribes medicine is very good, at least not worse than me... I will help you get it, but he doesn't have some medicines here."
After the fat pharmacist finished speaking, he turned to the medicine cabinet and took Rawls's list of herbal medicines and started grabbing medicine. The boss who was smiling at the side asked the fat pharmacist:
"No? Mr. Pharmacist, what are those herbs? I'll see if I can get a batch... Mr. Pharmacist..."
The fat pharmacist did not respond to the owner of the herbal medicine shop. With agility that was not suitable for his physical condition, he quickly grabbed the herbs that Rawls wanted and put them on the counter. He then packed the herbs that he needed and handed a stack to the boss.
He left the herbal medicine shop without looking back.
The owner of the herbal medicine shop stood there without any intention of chasing after him. He just stretched his neck and shouted:
"Mr. Pharmacist? Mr. Pharmacist! Your change..."
Rawls, who was standing aside, looked at the pharmacist who was leaving. He neither chased after nor mentioned the remuneration that the fat pharmacist had just mentioned. He walked to the counter, knocked on the counter, and looked at the boss with an obvious smile on his face.
shouted:
"Boss, how much do these cost for me?"
"Let me take a look." The boss responded, walked to the counter, put away the fat pharmacist's stack of change, and began to count Rawls' herbal medicine, "Five pounds is enough."
Rawls did not counteroffer, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted five 1-pound notes and handed them to the boss, and asked casually:
"Boss, I just heard that a candy shop buys herbs from you to make candies? Wouldn't it be very bitter?"
The owner of the herbal medicine shop took the banknotes and put them together with the stack of banknotes belonging to the fat pharmacist. While wrapping the herbs, he recalled:
"Then I don't know, but I asked the little boy who came here to buy the goods before, and he said that it was an idea proposed by a customer of that candy store. He likes to eat candies very much and wants to try all kinds of flavors, so that candy store
Only the store can develop this kind of herbal candy.
And judging from the amount of purchases made by that kid, the sales should be pretty good, otherwise there would be no need to buy so many herbal medicines. My herbal medicines come from all over the world, and the quality is much better than those from other herbal shops!"
Rawls didn't pay attention to the boss's boasting, but he remembered that Ian said that the candy store was newly opened.
"Is it the candy store over the bridge? Isn't that a new one?"
"Ah, is that right?" The boss paused in his movements of packing the medicine, looked up at Rawls, and then continued to pack the medicine, "I also heard what the kid who bought the herbal medicine said." His movements were extremely skillful, and he said a few words
In no time, he wrapped the herbs and handed them to Rawls.
Rawls took seven or eight packs of herbs and did not continue to ask any questions. After saying goodbye to the boss, he walked out of the herbal shop and walked into the nearest hotel. Then he skillfully arranged the ritual of summoning the messenger, and sent the messenger who belonged to Alicia
Summon it out.
“Invisible creatures that roam the upper realms;
the existence of unfettered freedom;
A messenger unique to Alicia Tamara."
Under the dim blue candlelight, almost transparent ripples rippled, revealing a translucent creature with three wings, a human head and a fish body. The right half of its face was blank, and the facial features were crowded on the other left half of the face, with a fish body.
Manta rays drag a tail that resembles a snake's tail.
The spirit world creature glanced at Rawls, and then at the seven or eight packets of herbs placed on the table. The facial features crowded on the left half of the face showed an extremely smart look of grievance. Seeing that Rawls did not respond, Fish
A huge gash appeared on his body, and the herbs were put inside.
As those herbs gradually disappeared, the snake's tail dragged by the spirit world creature hung down feebly, and the flapping frequency of its three wings also dropped, slowly disappearing in front of Rawls' eyes.
The reason why Rawls did not respond to this spiritual creature is because it is not completely regarded as Alicia's messenger. It is actually the messenger of the priest of the Spiritual Religion, the Sequence 5 "Gatekeeper".
It's just that the extraordinary characteristics left by the "gatekeeper" are in the hands of Alicia. She uses the "twisted" ability to equate herself with the characteristics of the priest with the priest, allowing the messenger to
For her to drive.
According to Alicia, the "gatekeeper" messenger had a certain amount of wisdom, but it was not very high. In addition, the characteristics he left behind contained a strong spiritual imprint, and the contract he signed had loopholes.
, so this "distortion" will be successful.
In other words, it is impossible for Rawls to use the characteristics of the "Necromancer" in his hands to get a messenger.
After cleaning up the remnants of the ceremony, he did not go to the candy store across the bridge. Instead, he closed his eyes and tried to sense the location of the fat pharmacist.
It is not easy to get the things of the "briber", and there is always a price to pay.
In the herbal medicine shop, Rawls handed the list to the fat pharmacist, completing the "bribery" so that he could sense the fat pharmacist's location. Moreover, fat pharmacists who actively accept "bribes" are easier to find than those who are passive.
many.
…
In the mountains east of Backlund, a huge pumpkin cart pulled by a group of gray mice was driving quickly in mid-air. Under the wheels was a long transparent bridge. Even in the daytime, there were dots of stars on the long transparent bridge.
The brilliance falls and spreads deep into the mountains.
Not long after, the huge pumpkin carriage stopped, and a heroic lady wearing an Intis shirt and a dark black jacket jumped up from the carriage and floated in the air.
He wears a pair of tight-fitting black trousers, a thin rapier on his waist, and a pair of black boots on his feet.
The long transparent bridge was like broken crystal, blooming with countless stars and dispersing in the air, and the huge pumpkin cart pulled by the gray mouse also disappeared.
Bernadette glanced at her surroundings, her figure slowly fell, and then she suddenly opened her arms. From around her to the surrounding peaks, countless peach blossoms slowly fell in the air, covering a huge area in an instant.
A peach forest with lush vegetation and blooming flowers grew out of thin air. At the end of a slowly flowing stream, a mountain peak no less than the surrounding peaks rose from the ground. The place covered with peach blossoms was completely isolated from the outside world. Only a small cave could pass through.
To the outside world.
This is the ability "Mysterious Reappearance" of the Sequence 4 "Occultist".
Bernadette floated above the peach grove, stretched out her right index finger in mid-air and sketched out words that were different from Giants, Dragons, Elfs, and Ancient Hermes. Those words had a star-like glow.
The brilliance intertwined into strange symbols, seemingly opening a secret door to the depths of the spiritual world.
The "secret door" opened, and the strong wind blew out, transforming into a man whose upper body and lower body were wrapped in white cloth.
Bernadette spoke calmly and commanded in a majestic voice:
"The 'Wheel of Fortune' card, 'Pale Justice', 'Sage's Forelock'."
The man responded respectfully, and first took out an ornament from a white cloth wrapped around his body. The core of this ornament was a vertical eye inlaid with "diamonds", which shone with pure light and gave people an unusually sacred look.
, full of wisdom, but also seems rather cold and without warmth.
This is followed by a playing card:
On the front of this playing card is a man surrounded by a giant silver snake. The man has long, slightly curly chestnut hair, half-open and half-closed blue eyes that seem to hide the ocean, a high bridge of nose, and extremely thin lips.
He has a beautifully groomed beard on both sides.
This is the person Bernadette is most familiar with, the person she once respected the most, the person she is hostile and disgusted with, and is her father - Russell Gustave, a great inventor and scientist.
An outstanding politician and an emperor with mixed reputations.
Russell in the card is holding the "Wheel of Fortune" engraved with many mysterious symbols. A giant silver snake with bright red cold eyes surrounds him end to end. The snake's body is covered with patterns and symbols. The details are
Countless different wheels.
Finally, the man took out a pale mask with shimmering metallic luster. The mask only had holes for the eyes, and there were no gaps in the rest of the mask.
Bernadette, who was floating above the peach forest, pointed to the blasphemy card. As she clicked, the bookmark became three-dimensional, like a miniature book. She did not read the content on it, but read the blasphemy card.
Throwed into the sky.
Bernadette's eyes condensed one complex and illusory symbol after another. She stretched out her hand to grab it, and all the surrounding information was absorbed into her palm and condensed into an illusory ball of light.
This is the power she gained from completing the ritual when she was promoted to demigod.
Because each "occultist" chooses to analyze the blood of different mythical creatures, he obtains different knowledge and gains different powers based on the knowledge.
The blood of the mythical creature analyzed by Bernadette comes from the "Emperor of Knowledge" in Sequence 1, which was left to her by her father Russell.
The greatest ability of the "Knowledge Emperor" is to equate knowledge and power. Knowledge can bring power, and power can also give knowledge.
This place has been banned by Bernadette using fairy tale magic "The Source of Peach Blossom", and the biggest source of information around her is the "Wheel of Fortune" card that contains the secret of becoming a god. And based on her guess, she made a "blasphemous card"
", her father must have used the power of the "Emperor of Knowledge" to make the "blasphemous cards" have the effect of anti-divination and anti-prophecy, and even have the power of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics.
The complex and illusory symbols in Bernadette's eyes were slowly injected into the illusory ball of light in her palm. With the injection of symbols, the illusory ball of light seemed to have an entity and was no longer illusory. If you look carefully
If you look at it, you can even find a huge silver snake swimming inside the light ball that is gradually becoming substantial.
She threw up the light ball that had completely materialized in her hand, and collided with the "Wheel of Fortune" card floating in the air. The light ball shattered, and a huge silver snake flew out and took the "Wheel of Fortune" card.
The cards are swallowed into the body.
The huge mercury snake that was released from its confinement did not stretch its body. Instead, it balled up and bit its own tail, turning into a mysterious and exaggerated wheel that slowly rotated in the air.
Bernadette looked at the mercury snakes connected end to end in the sky, her eyes changed from deep blue to strange purple, and dots of starlight appeared in the mid-air, covering the mercury snakes.
Withdrawing her gaze, she stretched out her hand and pointed the pale mask with shining metallic luster to fly in front of her and put it on her face, making her look extremely cold and noble, but lacking the aura of the living. She raised her right hand
, pressed on "Pale Death".
On the surface of "Pale Death", the metal instantly softened and reorganized into a new face, with a pair of black eyes. Within these deep black eyes, pale lines highlighted, outlining extremely complex and mysterious three-dimensional symbols.
, it looks like a bird with abnormally long feathers, or a feathered serpent with its body coiled up.
This symbol absorbed the surrounding light and quickly took form. Then it separated from Bernadette's eyes, stretched out its "body", and flew towards the only exit in this space that communicated with the outside world, the narrow cave on the mountain.
Blocked.
Quickly taking off the pale mask on her face, Bernadette let the "Sage's forehead ornament" made of the Sequence 2 "Sage" trait fly to her hand, ready to wear it on her head at any time.
All preparations had been completed, and Bernadette's majestic and emotionless voice sounded again:
"The wishing lamp."
As the air flowed from his upper body to his lower body, the movement of the man wrapped in white cloth stagnated, but he did not dare to disobey his master's instructions. He let a piece of white cloth on his body stretch out, and took out the "wishing lamp" that was golden in color and looked like a shrunken kettle.
Bernadette let the magic lamp fly into her hand and rubbed the surface of the lamp covered with mysterious symbols.
