Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 69 Chapter 32 Looking for the Fat Pharmacist

Near the end, a man sitting quietly on a chair in the corner said solemnly: "I want to sell the magic potion formula, 'Corpse Collector', for 230 pounds."

Hey, the church’s potion formula? Alice looked at the man, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything through the hood and mask.

But it’s normal for the Sequence 9 recipe to wander outside. Alice shook her head and stopped paying attention to the other party.

The magic potion formula was sold quickly, and several transactions followed.

After another ten minutes passed, Klein asked: "Who has all the spinal fluid of the Twill Black Panther?"

There was silence in the venue, no one spoke, so Klein added: "I will give a reward that cannot be refused to extraordinary people."

This sentence successfully caught Alice's attention. Of course she understood what Klein was referring to as the reward. After realizing the difficulty of promotion for wild Beyonders, Alice suddenly had another guess about the reason why the church kept this knowledge secret. ——Reasons that have nothing to do with gods, but are closer to the low-level extraordinary beings.

When all low-level Extraordinaries know the Acting Method and the law of immortality of Extraordinary Characteristics, Extraordinaries will only become walking potion materials!

Just like she is now.

Alice lowered her eyelashes and sighed silently in her heart.

Maybe part of the reason why the gods hide these things is for personal gain, but isn't this a kind of protection for the low-level extraordinary people?
Alice understood that there was not much pure kindness in the world, just as she had understood very early on that every gift from fate had a price tag, and it would be strange if this kindness was unprofitable.

——She never believed that there were pure good people in the world. Even in the past, she only believed that these people would be good people when facing her.

Klein's price did not receive a response. He shrugged and said, "Okay, next one."

The fat pharmacist coughed lightly and said: "I have brought a lot of medicines. You can see what you want. The price is not expensive, only a few pounds or even a few soles."

Alice looked over in surprise and asked doubtfully: "Isn't the 'Black Snake' dead? Did he die together with the beast in the sewer?"

These words made the surrounding atmosphere suddenly stagnant. After a few seconds of silence, the fat pharmacist asked: "You didn't come last time?"

Alice immediately realized that her question had exposed the matter. She didn't speak again and just waited quietly for the fat pharmacist's answer.

The fat pharmacist closed his mouth and said nothing. The old man "Eye of Wisdom" broke the silence: "How did you know that 'Black Snake' was dead? This lady?"

"What I saw," Alice paused, realizing that these people suspected that the death of "Black Snake" was related to her, "fate told me."

While others were still thinking about the meaning of Alice's words, the fat pharmacist was the first to breathe a sigh of relief: "So that's it. I have to say, the tone you just spoke really sounded like my teacher."

"Your teacher?" Alice raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah," the fat pharmacist didn't answer Alice's words, "Want some potion? You should know."

He tacitly admitted that I knew the pharmacist... He thought I was from the School of Life? However, it doesn't matter even if I'm not, he must think that I can't find him... Alice raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Do you have a medicine that can heal wounds quickly?"

The fat pharmacist immediately took out two bottles of medicine and promoted: "It can be used for external application or internal use. One bottle costs 10 soles and can be used within six months."

Alice bought the two bottles of potion for a pound note, and then asked: "So, has the beast in the sewer been solved?"

The pharmacist paused, spread his hands and said, "I don't know either. At the last party, a lucky guy suggested that I report this matter to the police department. After doing so, I never went to the sewers again. .”

Alice held a moment of silence for the "Black Snake" and then stopped talking. When the fat pharmacist's weird potions were sold out, the party came to an end. When Alice returned home, she looked at the potion in her hand and smiled - if she were a normal person, there would be no way to divine the location of the "Pharmacist" from the potion made by the "Pharmacist", but who is not Alice?

Sure enough, Alice once again saw the herbal medicine shop that had recently moved to Backlund in her dream.

……

The next day, after Alice went to church to pray as usual, she came to the address she saw in her dream.

This time when she went out, Alice had the foresight to change her appearance - she would never make the mistake of doing strange things in Briar Rose's face again.

This was still a somewhat immature face, so when Alice pushed the door open, Mr. Pharmacist said the lines that Alice was familiar with: "Welcome... er, miss, are you an adult?"

Alice smiled, closed the door, took off her necklace, and revealed her original appearance.

Then, Alice saw Mr. Pharmacist's small facial features move on his face, and finally combined into a look of horror.

"Shut up." Alice scolded him coldly before he could make a sound.

The fat pharmacist immediately shut his mouth, and even covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from accidentally making a sound.

This heartfelt move made Alice silent for a moment. For a moment, she felt that it was not good for her to bully such a poor guy.

Let's blame the mercury snake... After muttering something in her mind, Alice kept a cold expression, raised her chin and said, "I ask, you answer, do you understand?"

This attitude seemed to have a different kind of deterrent effect on the fat pharmacist. He nodded hurriedly and said: "Don't kill me, I will tell you everything."

Then, he covered his mouth again in Alice's sight.

Alice was not sure what she should say for a moment, but this was not possible. This would expose her true thoughts. Alice, who had rehearsed her expressions and tone in advance, quickly regained her composure and asked, "Were you then?" Have you contacted the School of Life?”

The fat pharmacist's eyes dodge.

"It seems that you didn't do what I said and just ran away secretly?" Alice looked at the fat pharmacist with a half-smile.

The fat pharmacist hurriedly explained: "No, no, I had planned to leave at that time..."

"Oh∽" Alice said "oh" in a sinister manner, and then said, "So you ran away as planned and ignored me at all, right?"

The fat pharmacist's fat body trembled.

"But it's no wonder. You have no reason to help me in the first place. This is normal, right?" Alice asked with a smile.

The fat pharmacist fell into the chair behind him in horror.

Such an honest reaction convinced Alice that this guy couldn't be connected to the mercury snake - Alice believed that the other party wouldn't have such a useless subordinate.

"Don't tell anyone you've seen me," Alice coldly dropped this sentence, looked at the other person's trembling figure, and added after thinking for a moment, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Medicine Master' ...Well, I kind of hope that I can have a place to continue buying potions in the future.”

After noticing that the fat pharmacist was obviously relieved, Alice put on the necklace, adjusted her appearance and left.
