Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 403 The Stink Attacks
After Ahao drove Luke and Blancpain to the downtown, his brows immediately frowned.

Luke yelled in the back seat: "It stinks! Master, please close the window."

"I closed it here, you can only roll the window in the back seat by yourself, do you see the handle under the window?"

"I see!"

Luke turned the handle wildly, and the window rose smoothly, cutting the air out.

However, even with all the windows closed, the vague smell still came in.

It was a stench of fishy smell, coquettish smell and putrid smell mixed together.It seemed that some creature was in heat on the street, splashed urine to mark its territory, and then died there immediately.

Only when all kinds of filthy and dirty body fluids are mixed together can there be such an extremely uncomfortable smell.

The car drove along the spiral ramp all the way to the lower city. Not only did the smell not dissipate, but it became more and more obvious.

Pedestrians on the road all covered their mouths and noses with scarves and collars, and hurried.

The bewitching red-purple neon lights reflected their faces in an extremely painful way.

Blancpain frowned deeply, and turned his head from the co-pilot: "Agadi's lower city, is the environment so much worse than the upper city? Why did I hear that the lower city is the real city that never sleeps?"

Ah Hao was holding his breath, so he could only shake his head in a small area and said, "It wasn't like this before going down to the city. I don't know where this smell came from."

"Vice President, before going down town, there was at most a smell of alcohol, plus a little powder smell of inferior perfume. This kind of doggy smell has never been seen before." Luke pulled his collar between his mouth and nose, and said in a low voice Said.

Doggy smell.Although Luke's words were not elegant, Ahao felt that the description was quite accurate.

Ahao parked the car to the side of the Horizon Bar, grabbed the door handle and hesitated for a while: "You will follow me directly later, and we will rush to that bar."

"Is the Arcane Society in the bar?" Blancpain asked curiously.

"Well, it's at the back door, let's go in first. Let's rush together now!"

Ah Hao didn't intend to explain further, after opening the car door, he immediately went straight to the bar not far away.

The smell outside the car is stronger.In addition to the smell of dogs, there is also a faint smell of corpses in the air.

"Ah!"

Ah Hao vigorously pushed open the door of the Horizon Bar, and after the two people behind him came in, he quickly closed the door.

"Ah, I'm saved." Luke took a few more steps forward, lay down on the bar, and began to pant heavily.

The smell in the bar is much better.Although the taste of the wine is not very pleasant, at least it is much better than the outside.Moreover, the Horizon Bar is a well-known big bar in the downtown area, and the ventilation equipment is quite powerful.

The smell of cleanliness came continuously from the fan, Ahao guessed that the ventilation equipment of this bar should also be modified by Aofa.

"This way." Ahao led the two of them across the bar.The front of the stage, which was always bustling in the past, was also a little deserted at the moment.Not many people are willing to come out to drink with such a smell.

The three came to the hidden backstage passage, and Ah Hao swiped the ring to open the entrance to the Arcane Association.

The Austrian Fa hall is "extremely lively" at the moment.The mechanical dragonflies with fluttering wings became a mess in the air, and the paper airplanes of different colors circled up and down, trying to avoid the dragonflies whose wings were entangled.

Corresponding to the sky, the underground is also a mess of arcanists.

The hall was filled with complaints from arcanists.

"stinky!"

"What's the matter with this disgusting smell? Does anyone care?"

"I found that every time the star gate is activated, the lower city will stink a bit. Is there a connection between the two?!"

"I don't know, but when I came here just now, I almost passed out on the road. I don't want to join the Association from the lower city anymore. I'd better go to the upper city to find the 'telephone booth' in the future."

"Fortunately, the Arcane Society doesn't stink. I decided to go downstairs to the library overnight."

Complaints are complaints, no one from the Arcane Association responded positively to this matter, and neither did the Arcane Masters.After all, this matter is very strange, no one knows where the source is, and the arcanists living in the lower city can only find their own way.

Ah Hao glanced at the task bar for a while, and saw several tasks such as [Urgently Need Ventilation Equipment], [Smell Blocking in the Whole House], and [Looking for Idle Houses in Uptown].

Blancpain curiously visited the scenery of the Arcane Association along the way, and Luke actively helped to introduce it by his side.

Ahao turned his head and looked at Blancpain behind him: "You guys just wait for me at the task bar, I'll go to Wende now, and I'll come back to you later."

"Okay." Blancpain stared at the wall covered with missions for a while, "But can I take these missions too?"

"You can't, but Luke can. If you see something suitable, let Luke help you pick it up."

"Hmm." Luke gestured a reassuring gesture to Ahao, and then began to introduce the task system of the Arcane Association to Blancpain.

Ah Hao walked quickly to the [Operation Team Office] on the side of the hall.

Without Wende's leadership, it would be difficult for him to enter this place now.When he was at the door, he was stopped by a female clerk: "Sir, please wait, now you have to show the proof of the action team before you can go in."

Ah Hao rummaged in his pocket for a long time, and found an expired action team ID card.

That was the temporary player card given to him by [Glow] Guy himself.Too bad it expired last month.

He could only smile and look at the female clerk: "I'm looking for Wende, Wende Nuosen from the action team."

"Wende, he's not here." The clerk shook his head directly, "I just saw him go downstairs, you can go downstairs and look for it."

"downstairs?"

Ah Hao narrowed his eyes and thought for a while.This guy, could it be that he went fishing in the club?It is still an hour before lunch time, and it is indeed a pretty good time to catch fish.

Forget it, it's not reliable to find this guy.

Ahao could only continue to say: "Then let me find Mike. Wende's team leader, Mike. Is he there?"

"Well, yes. What's your name? Register here, and then click here on the identity certificate of the Arcane Association."

After one operation, the aunt's waiter, who was as generous as a bucket, moved to the inside.

After a while, Mike, who hadn't seen him for a long time, came out with the clerk.

Mike has a mess of brown-blond hair.There are obviously more stubble on the face, and the whole person looks a little greasy.

"Ah Hao, long time no see." Mike greeted, with a smile on his haggard face, "What do you need me for?"

"Well, there is one thing that is not very urgent."

"Then go in and talk."

Mike led Ahao into the office area, and the clerk stopped obstructing him.

Ah Hao asked with a little concern: "What's wrong with you? You look so tired."

"Busy." Mike stroked the stubble on his face, and sighed, "It's been a fucking troubled time recently, and there are more and more troubles."

Mike took Ahao into his office.After all, he is also a small team leader, and his office environment is a level higher than that of Wen De.Have your own small office without crowding in the open public office area.

After making a simple cup of tea, Mike began to vomit bitterness.

"Ever since the Stargate incident, the higher ups have been asking us to step up our patrols. After the starfish incident, my overtime work intensity started to increase again. After the sewer cult and biological riots, that's not to mention."

"Recently, there is another stench mystery. I really have to work overtime during the day, and I can't sleep well at night. Halfway through my sleep, the smell made me and Casey wake up with nausea."

Ah Hao keenly captured the key point: "What is biological riot? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Ahem." Mike coughed twice suddenly, his eyes became dodgy, "Hey, I don't seem to have said it, did you hear it wrong?"

Mike obviously didn't want to talk about it, so Ahao immediately changed the subject: "Do you know the reason for the stench? I also smelled it just now. The whole downtown seems to be very smelly."

Mike seemed to recall the smell, and slapped it with his hands in disgust: "I don't know, but I suspect that someone is killing stray animals. It must be a bunch of lunatics.

"I have already received the investigation instructions from above, and I have to find out the origin sooner or later. But this task is also troublesome, and no one wants to do it."

"Wend just fled downstairs to write his investigation report on the [Human Skin Disappearance Case]. I don't know if he really found clues, or just made excuses to fool me."

Ahao smiled, and thought that Wende had grasped the timing really well.

Mike shook his head and sighed: "Help, this job will fall to me, right? If I want to investigate this matter myself, I really want to carve a bad word on my forehead."

Ah Hao was thinking about the magical amulet in his heart, and he was afraid that Luke and the others would wait outside for a long time, so he snapped his fingers and interrupted Mike: "Talk about my matter, you help me solve my matter , maybe there is no need to deal with the stench case."

"Oh?" Mike leaned forward with interest, "I'm so sorry for talking about my business. What's the matter with you?"

"In fact, there is an extraordinary city in Erak that has been invaded by mysterious people. Some survivors are running to Agadi to ask for help"

Ahao made a long story short and briefly shared Quattro's matter with Mike.

"Hey. Then the matter here is really big enough." Mike was shocked for a while, as if he was digesting the news brought by Ah Hao.

"Say it again, what does that man named Blancpain want to do here?"

"They want to communicate with the Arcane Association in the name of the Alchemy Association. The main thing is to sell some things, and anyone can participate. After contacting, they should also want to purchase a large amount of materials to rebuild Quattro."

"Alchemist, communication, materials." Mike knocked on the table with his knuckles unconsciously, showing a pensive expression.

"This matter is very important, and to be honest, it should be handled by the International Austrian Legal Cooperation Department. But it's okay"

"The person who summoned the void is very likely to be the person who attacked the star gate. As long as there is such a reason, our action team may also be able to join in. And Quattro doesn't mind more support if he thinks about it?"

"That's for sure."

Mike knocked on the table: "That's it first, I'll go and report what you said to Captain Guy. Now you can help invite that Blancpain to me, okay?"

Mike looked at Ahao with some pleading: "He's outside, right? Go quickly, don't let anyone get ahead of you."

"Well, yes."

Mike was overjoyed, and quickly handed Ahao a card: "This is my certificate, you can enter here freely with it."

Mike explained a few more words, and then rushed out of the office.

Ah Hao didn't know how much benefit he would get from making friends with Quattro, anyway, as long as the matter could be resolved.

He went out again and brought Blancpain and Luke back into the operation.The clerk at the door didn't make things difficult, and let him go after seeing the voucher in Ahao's hand.

After a while, Blancpain stood up with a smile: "Then it's settled, Mr. Guy."

"Small problem. I will vacate the venue for you today, and you can go to see the venue at night."

Guy, who is as strong as a bear, waved his hand: "In addition to the venue on Offa Avenue, we will also help promote it in the association."

"As for adding your products to the redemption list, you have to take your time. There are a lot of procedures and certifications to go."

"Understood." Blancpain nodded unhurriedly, "It's about the procurement of materials."

"You don't need to worry about it at all." Guy smiled, "As long as you can earn points from the Arcane Master, there will be a lot of people willing to exchange supplies with you for points."

"Don't underestimate the purchasing power of Arcane Points."

Blancpain walked out of Guy's office satisfied.

Ahao and Mike made a gesture and followed them out.

The protagonists of this meeting are Blancpain and Guy. After all, this is a negotiation between the "Alchemy Association" and the "Arcane Association".He remained in the listening state the whole time.

After walking out of the operation area, Luke turned his head excitedly and said, "The man said he could give us a field as big as a football field. Is there such a big place on Offa Avenue?"

Ahao shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't heard that there is such a place. But Guy's sincerity is quite sufficient."

During the meeting, Guy said there was a "special area" on Offa Avenue set aside for the festival.As long as the Alchemy Association is willing to carry out long-term cooperation with them, this area can be temporarily granted to Blancpain for use.

The specific cooperation agreement is more complicated, but to put it bluntly, it is an exchange of interests.

Alchemy props have always been popular in the Arcane Magic Association. Most arcane mages have a single ability, and they need foreign objects to make up for their shortcomings.

On behalf of the Alchemy Association, Blancpain directly supplied Guy.The benefits and luxuries in it are enough for Guy to "grab" this bowl of rice from the International Austrian Legal Cooperation Department.

Guy is honest and outspoken about his intentions.Blancpain didn't care either. For him, he could talk to anyone, as long as he could complete the goal of "rebuilding Quattro".

So the two hit it off and immediately formulated a preliminary cooperation plan.

Blancpain will continue to discuss the more detailed cooperation plan tomorrow, but this is not what Ahao wants to care about.

Ah Hao stretched his waist: "What are your plans next?"

Blancpain: "I have to go back to Nordson Manor quickly. I have to tell those alchemists about this matter earlier, otherwise it will be bad if there is nothing to sell when the venue is found."

"Ah."

"I will go back with the vice president, and I also want to make wands and potions to buy. After all, the opportunity is rare." Luke looked at Ahao, "Master, how about you?"

"I want to stay in the association for a while, I'll go find Wende. I guess I will go back with Wende to find you at night."

"You guys wait for the Offa Express to go back by yourself, and I will reimburse you for the fare. Then Luke, remember to help me pay more attention to the [Magic Amulet]."

"Ok."

Ahao and Blancpain talked for a while, and then parted beside the hall of the Arcane Association.

To use money to do things, Blancpain gave [Magic Amulet], and Ah Hao was naturally willing to contact him.

Now that the contact is over, Ah Hao feels a lot more at ease.But it soon started to itch again.

He hasn't used the [practice room] in the club downstairs.

Why don't you take this opportunity and go inside to try the power of [Supernatural Amulet]?

Thinking of this, Ah Hao walked downstairs with some joy.
