Chapter 24 The Underground Market
Chapter 24 The Underground Market
At noon, Dunn was summoned by the bishop to go to the church. He even brought Esther, Frye and Luo Yao to the police to participate in the investigation mission. Nader was on shift at Chanis Gate.
Klein, who stayed in the company to eat "office food", was very leisurely. Esther went down to accompany Leonard to eat with lunch. At this time, only Blake, Roseanne, and Klein remained in the reception hall.
The tall and thin man who knocked on the door had a capable posture. After a quick look around, he learned in a simple conversation that there was no one in the "mercenary team", so he had to leave here disappointed.
Not long after, the man came back again. He decided to wait for a while after communicating with a few people. Just when Klein saw that the rain was getting lighter and wanted to leave, Leonard walked up and invited Klein to complete the search together. commissioned.
Esther spent this afternoon in Old Neil's literature, but Old Neil was very firm and didn't really give her any in-depth books explaining the Second and Third Epochs, but took some dispensable legends After coming out, Esther could only sigh secretly, trying to analyze what she wanted to explore from above—the true origin of the Evernight Goddess.
She didn't dare to reveal her purpose, after all, this was the base of the Nighthawks under the influence of the Church of Evernight.
The next morning, Klein was guided by a dream and discovered the whereabouts of the notebook. He took Dunn and the others to the place where the hostages were rescued yesterday. Because Esther hadn't woken up yet, Dunn didn't want to disturb her, so he took Leonard, Old Neil and Frye went together.
Esther did wake up very late today. It was almost ten o'clock when she got up in a daze. For some reason, she has been sleeping more and more recently, which made her feel a little uneasy, worried that she would be so Sleep all the time.
Wouldn't that really be a Sealed Artifact?
After changing her clothes, she put the bug into her pocket as usual, and decided to see what the weather was like today before deciding whether to go outside for a walk.The woven pendant to be given to Klein has been finished. She used a silver ring as a bayonet, and added a cluster of tassels under the best woven work so far, which is quite a unique decoration.
But knowing where this hanging style comes from, she and Klein are probably the only ones in this world.
Maybe the night knows it too.Esther sighed.
In the living room, Old Neil was sharing with Klein about the underground trading market. Seeing Esther walk in, they all said hello.Esther handed the tassel safety knot to Klein. Klein was quite pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that he would receive this special handmade gift in such a short time.
"Thank you! What a handy hand you have. Didn't this thing take your time?"
Esther also sat on the sofa and stretched leisurely: "It will be faster if you are familiar with it. Anyway, I have a lot of free time, so I made it up after practicing more."
"Thank you, this looks really special."
"Hey, yours is the best I've ever made. I gotta make sure everyone has it, it's gonna keep everyone safe!"
Old Neil smiled without saying a word, and sat quietly by the side watching the two young people communicate.Klein couldn't let go of this safe knot, but in front of Old Neil, the two fellow villagers couldn't speak the "local dialect" and could only communicate with each other with eyes.
In the end, Esther changed the subject: "Just now you mentioned the extraordinary material market? There shouldn't be many places like that in Tingen, right?"
Old Neil looked at Esther: "It's true that there are not many, but Tingen said that it is not small, and there is still an underground trade. You don't seem to have been there either?"
"Can I go together? I'm curious too! I won't cause trouble, I'll just look around."
Old Neil laughed loudly: "Hahaha, what trouble can you cause! Don't be stupid, of course you can go with us."
"Has Esther never been there before?" Klein was a little surprised. He thought Esther was already familiar with this aspect, after all, she had joined the Nighthawks for a while.
Esther shook her head: "I haven't had much contact with Extraordinary people from the outside world, but I'm actually quite curious."
Old Neil glanced at Esther disapprovingly: "There's nothing to be curious about, it's all the same. Don't be too enthusiastic, or the captain will definitely criticize me when he knows I'm taking you around."
"Okay, keep it secret! Then you guys are chatting, I will go to Sika to have a look, and I heard that her new story has been written again." Esther left with a smile.
Old Neil had always been amazed by Esther's ability to read people's faces, and he always wondered why Leonard couldn't learn this.Now that Esther was gone, Old Neil and Klein continued to chat.
After talking about teaching ritual magic tomorrow, Klein tentatively asked: "Does Esther rarely touch extraordinary materials? I think she's been here for a long time."
"She... I don't know why, Dunn has set quite a lot of restrictions on Esther's affairs, and even strictly forbids me from teaching her too much practical content of mysticism."
"Captain Dunn?" Klein was taken aback for a moment, confirming his vague guess before that the Church seemed to be imprisoning Esther intentionally or unintentionally.
"Yes, Esther's ability is not stable. You should also know that she lives in Chanis Gate, which is not a place where people can live under normal circumstances... Only she can live there. Dunn is doing this for her own good .”
Old Neil suddenly remembered something: "By the way, don't use your spiritual vision to look at Esther. Her state is quite strange, so I can't use it as a reference."
Klein nodded his head graciously, and it's unknown what was going on in his heart.
-
On Monday, Klein, who had already learned ritual magic, stayed at home. After modifying the pointing spell, he decided to use it to make "The Hanged Man" and "Justice" pray to him and conduct an experiment.
After the Tarot session ended, Klein finished observing the symbols on the back of his chair. He raised his head and stared at a slightly low gray fog on the top of the round table.Because the bulge is only the size of a bowling ball, it's hard to notice from below, but Klein always has an inexplicable feeling there, as if there is some kind of medium sleeping inside that coordinates him and the fog.
Klein had a hunch that as long as he could advance to Sequence Eight, the things above would reveal their true colors.
Speaking of which, his spiritual power is enough to pull another person up, should Esther also join the Tarot Club?Would she think that she believed in an evil god?However, the exchange of information here may help her a lot.
The risk of this move is too great, Klein will not make a hasty decision, and this fellow has a lot of secrets, the gray fog is his biggest trump card, so he should not reveal it to the people in his life.Moreover, Klein is not quite sure how to pull others into the gray fog, so let's wait until the ritual experiment is successful.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to think about pretending to be a god in front of fellow villagers.
Only by working hard to become stronger can we better control this gray mist.
Two days later, Old Neil called Esther as promised, and took Klein to the Dragon Bar.
Hearing the waves of shouts inside, Esther couldn't help shrinking her shoulders. Perhaps it was because of the memory of the day she landed. She hated places like bars, and she never went to them when she was shopping in Tingen. Pass.
But with her age and beautiful appearance, if she walked into the bar alone, it would only attract all kinds of malicious looks.
Klein noticed that someone was carrying a high-pressure steam rifle in the hidden place on the roof, which alerted Old Neil. He immediately went to someone he knew to inquire about the situation, and learned that it was the wanted "Tris" who came to buy the materials, but he was recognized Yes, now the people have already run away, and the official Extraordinary who rushed over was all in vain.
After hearing the reply of "just recovered" from the trading market, Old Neil led the two young people into the gate of the bar quickly.
The sweltering heat and the smell of alcohol made Esther's facial features twist into a ball. Klein's endurance was a little better than hers, but he still frowned subconsciously.
"Dragon Bar" is holding a boxing match, two men on the stage are bare-chested, and dozens of drinkers are cheering loudly, so loud that Esther can't hear what they are talking about.
Old Neil was very indifferent. He led the two of them around the boxing ring and walked to a billiard room at the back. The people inside were chatting, but when they saw someone coming in, they immediately shut up.After confirming their identities, the two moved out of the way, and Esther and Klein followed Old Neil through the secret door.
After passing through several rooms, the three of them walked into a rather huge room, which was wider than an indoor basketball court. The atmosphere was very similar to the vegetable market or night market in Esther's memory. Of course, no snacks were sold.
The vendors here display spiritual materials or Extraordinary products, and each seller displays all kinds of small things. It is not easy for customers to identify useful and useless things by themselves.The security side of the rental venue will not deal with such small things as being cheated of money. They are only responsible for collecting one-twentieth of the revenue.
Klein was the first to look to the left, and Esther only looked there after noticing that he turned his head suddenly.
It was a young man in a linen shirt, his pale face was dazed and dull, his eyes were unfocused, crazy to the point of no clarity, and he was constantly chanting something.After meeting Klein's gaze, the young man with messy hair came over, his feet erratic as if he was sleepwalking, making one wonder if he would fall to the ground at any time.
He stopped in front of several people, stared blankly at Klein, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Haha! The smell of death, death—ah!"
Amidst the screams, the young man closed his eyes tightly, and two lines of blood flowed from the corners of his eyes.
The young man covered his eyes, rolling and screaming on the ground, during which the customers and vendors on both sides didn't even look at him. It wasn't until he stopped for a while, huddled on the ground panting with tears, that Esther took out her handkerchief and went forward. Half kneeling on the ground, he carefully wiped the blood on the young man's face.
Old Neil shook his head and explained that this orphan named Ademisor was also called a "monster". Because he was born with too much inspiration, he often felt things that others didn't feel, so he became crazy. See what you should see, hear what you should not hear and get hurt.
When Klein asked why the official Extraordinary team did not accept him, Old Neil gave a corresponding explanation. None of them had a formula suitable for the Ademithor sequence, because this conversation only happened when the official Extraordinary sequence information was involved. Between the two of them, they deliberately lowered their voices.
Esther didn't hear it, but she couldn't do anything about it. She was alone until now, and she didn't even know the formula of the potion, and she was still confused about the situation of her sequence.
Ademisor was soothed by Esther's soft voice, he held on to her cuff tightly, whispering something, but couldn't hear clearly in the slightly noisy environment around him.
"Mr. Neil, do you have any healing potions there?"
Old Neil shook his head: "I didn't bring it out. You can leave him alone, he will get better on his own."
"It's okay, you go shopping first, it's rare for Klein to come here once. Anyway, I don't plan to buy anything. I'll stay with him for a while. If you encounter a potion with healing effects, can you buy some for me? I brought it some money."
Old Neil took the two gold pound notes that Esther took out, and patted Esther on the head: "Silly boy...then you go shopping first, Klein, I'll pay the bill over there, and then help Esther take a look."
Klein was not at ease about leaving Esther alone: "Is it okay for you to be alone?"
"It's okay, there are so many people around, no matter what, it's an official guarded trading market, safe and secure."
"Okay, then you pay attention to safety, I will come back to you later."
Esther showed a bright smile at Klein: "I don't know how to distinguish those materials, and I'll trouble you to find out what's interesting for me, remember to tell me."
Klein planned to take this opportunity to get a better understanding of the market, so he didn't insist on staying: "Then if you encounter any problems, call for help."
"It's okay," Esther patted Ademisor's head lightly, "it's just a poor child."
Well, the fellow's somewhat kind motherly heart broke out.Klein sighed. Others are much taller than you when they stand up, so they don't look like children.After divination with the pendulum "Esther staying here will put her in danger" and got a slightly counterclockwise answer, Klein felt relieved to go shopping in the market.
After Old Neil and Klein went to run their errands, Esther led Ademisor, who got back up again, and sat down at a place not in the way of the wall.She basically wears shirts and trousers when she goes out now, so it doesn't matter even if she crosses her legs. If it's not a sealed item that can't be used casually, Esther really wants to find something that can change her appearance, so that someone will not always look at her twice.
For some unknown reason, Ademisor kept holding on to Esther and refused to let go. She could only let him hold her left corner of her clothes and quietly observe the people coming and going in the market.
The corner is relatively secluded. After Ademisor's blood and tears eased, he tried his best to hold up his eyelids and look at Esther. This time, the tears shed were more clear. Now Esther can clearly hear what he has been muttering .
"Boundless light...soft...soothing light...is light..."
