Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 6 Samantha

Baggio forced a stiff smile on his face: "Samantha, I have never seen this woman."

Samantha's eyes slowly moved around, and finally fell on Chris.

She stepped forward in two steps, stared into his eyes, held up the scroll, and said with an imposing manner, "Your expression tells me that you have seen her."

Seeing that Samantha no longer paid attention to him, Baggio breathed a sigh of relief and filled a glass of wine for her.

He nuzzled at Chris: "This kid said he came from Misty Village!"

"Oh?" Samantha raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then you must know something."

Chris was afraid that the other party would take action if they disagreed. He was not an Extraordinary yet - the original owner was tricked as soon as he got the magic potion formula.

Chris asked nervously: "How should I trust you?"

"puff--"

Upon hearing this, Baggio spit out the wine in his mouth: "What? I heard you right! What you just asked was, 'How should I trust you?'"

He wiped his mouth and whispered:

"The person standing in front of you now is the most reputable bounty hunter in Ahowa County, a Sequence 7 Beyonder, Samantha Gross, nicknamed "Water Elf"! - You actually ask how you can trust her!"

Samantha tilted her head slightly, looking displeased: "You talk too much."

She raised her hand and pointed her palm forward at the wine glass in front of Baggio. An invisible wind blew out of her palm. The wine in the glass suddenly blew into a waterspout, rising higher and higher.

"Samantha, don't be like this. Emperor Russell said that 'an upright person will solve problems with words rather than force'."

Baggio held the wine glass and looked sad.

As soon as she closed her palm, the one-meter-high waterspout instantly lost its power. The wine fell from mid-air and fell back into the glass without spilling a drop.

"Thank you."

Baggio looked apologetic. He knew that Samantha only used the strength of one little finger, otherwise he would have been closed for at least three days to find someone to repair the ceiling.

so smart……

Chris looked shocked.

"Can you trust me now?"

Samantha showed an innocent smile, completely different from before.

"Can, can."

Chris nodded hurriedly.

Samantha pointed to a table in the corner: "Let's chat while we eat. I'm so busy that I haven't eaten yet."

Baggio quickly ran over and cleaned the table himself: "I'll serve you the best dishes in the tavern, and it's mine."

Samantha sat opposite Chris, playing with the empty wine glass in her hand and looking at him: "I don't know your name yet."

"Chris Doty, Hoy University Grammar graduate."

"Oh, I'm still a college student," Samantha raised her eyebrows and smiled, but the smile quickly disappeared, "But why are you going to Misty Village? It's a suburb of Tingen."

Chris smiled wryly, but didn't answer.

"Hey, forget it if you don't want to say it...Have you seen the person in the portrait?"

Samantha unfolded the parchment and laid it on the table.

"I haven't seen it," Chris shook his head, "but I've seen this emerald necklace."

"where?"

Samantha crossed her hands and rested her chin, as if listening.

"In an alley in Misty Village," Chris lowered his voice, "that necklace was held by a corpse buried in a garbage dump."

"Corpse?"

Samantha's eyes were sharp, like daggers, and the hair on Chris' body stood up instantly.

"The necklace is held by a pale hand. I think that person must be dead."

"Well..." Samantha fell into deep thought. After a while, she spoke again: "I know, but how can I contact you? Where is your home?"

Chris smiled bitterly and said: "I remember my home is in Lundberg."

"People from Lundberg?"

Samantha raised her hand and snapped her fingers: "Baggio, Chris will stay here temporarily, and I'll pay for the accommodation."

Actually, no need...I still have a dormitory at Hoy University...

Chris scratched his head. Was Samantha being too enthusiastic?

Baggio couldn't help being a little surprised that Samantha valued Chris so much. He came with two dinners and smiled at Samantha:
"It's no problem for this kid to live here. The guest room on the second floor is still available, so you won't have to pay for the accommodation. All he needs to do is help the tavern with some chores. The fine Fenebote seafood soup has just been made. Please use it at your leisure. "

Two portions of steaming seafood soup were presented to the two of them. Samantha was not polite at all and began to enjoy her portion.

"What are you doing in Misty Village?"

she asked, forking up a piece of oyster meat.

Chris took a sip of soup: "I don't know either..."

"You can trust me," Samantha smiled, "You even know my path and sequence, don't you?"

Chris scratched his head in embarrassment, feeling a bit sorry for this: "I'm here to become a Extraordinary."

"What way?"

"do not know."

"Don't know yet?" Samantha changed her tone, "You are too naive."

She swallowed a mouthful of soup and slowly explained to Chris the extraordinary knowledge she knew.

After finishing speaking, Samantha drank half a glass of beer, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and then asked:

"Do you have money to buy the potion formula? Of course, money is not enough."

"I already have the recipe, but I just don't have the money to buy the ingredients."

"Okay." Samantha took a newspaper on the table next to her and opened it to read.

The name of this newspaper is "Backlund Morning News". It is a very comprehensive newspaper. It contains all kinds of news:
"A brief analysis of the situation in the Southern Continent", "Investigation on the crime rate of immigrants in Intis", "Registration for the Backlund City boxing match begins", "Shop rental", "A lot of money to seek a child", "Three jokes a day"... the above Although there is a lot of information, none of it is related to the extraordinary.

She turned to page five, where there was an advertisement for Ernst Trading Company: starch for 9 pence/pound, spices for 1 sole and 3 pence/pound, lard 6 pence/pound, Storn black tea for 9 sole/pound, Cream 1 sole 6p/lb.

Samantha thought about it in her mind and figured out the code: 9 hard taps, 1 light tap, 3 long and 6 short.

She closed the newspaper and looked at Chris: "In a few days, I will take you to a place where you may be able to buy extraordinary potion formulas and materials."

Chris knew that Samantha was going to take him to the Extraordinary gathering. He smiled awkwardly: "But I have no money now..."

His living expenses are all deposited in Tingen Bank, which is the education fund prepared by the Doty family since he was a child, which is enough for him to finish college.

There should have been a "growth fund", but after the family accident, the money was frozen. Now it is not easy to pay the tuition in full.

"It's okay," Samantha looked unconcerned, "I'll lend you the money first, and you can just pay me back when you have the money. Don't worry, there's no interest."

Chris smiled and thanked her, but he didn't think so in his heart - Samantha must have other purposes for being so kind to him.

After eating, before leaving, she handed Chris five banknotes: "Reward for clues."

Chris took the banknote, with the portrait of King George III of Loen painted on the front.

"Five sulers will be enough for you for a while, but don't run around recently. I will come to you later." Samantha warned.

Chris nodded in understanding.

After she left the tavern, he said hello to Jason and returned to the guest room Samantha rented for him.

The small guest room is small in size and has very few decorations. There is only a mural hanging on the white painted wall. Although the decoration is not good, it has an independent bathroom and a window.

Chris hid the emerald necklace and the "Fighter's" extraordinary characteristics separately, then lay on the bed in the small guest room, staring at the ceiling with his head in his hands, thinking about the plot of "The Lord of Mysteries".

Zhou Mingrui became Klein Moretti, then the Blackthorn Security Company, the Nighthawks Squad, and the Antigonus Notes...

This world is so complicated...

By the way, do I want to go to Star Island?
