Chapter 122 A Different Enemy
Hearing the fat pharmacist's question, Klein secretly smiled inwardly, with a cold face:
"Start with your first payment."
Darkwill first took out a large amount of cash without hesitation, and then counted distressedly:
"It's £300.
"You can fulfill the agreement."
Klein took the banknotes, nodded and said:
"no problem."
Darkwill immediately relaxed a lot, like a drowning man finally grabbing the lifebuoy.
More than half an hour later, in the "Tyana" hotel, Darkwill stared blankly at the powerful adventurer Gehrman Sparrow and said to the night receptionist:
"Change to a luxury suite."
After finishing speaking, Klein took two steps back, as if he was giving up his position to the fat pharmacist.
Darkwill swallowed his saliva and asked hesitantly:
"I pay?"
"During the mission, all expenses shall be borne by the employer. This is an adventurer's rule." Klein responded without changing his expression.
I believe you are an ass! Do you call some girls from the "Red Theater" over, and I have to pay for you? Darkwill thought for a while, squeezed out a smile and said:
"We can just use a normal room, which is easier to protect."
"Then you can live by yourself." Klein played Gehrman Sparrow effortlessly.
Darkwill laughed twice, walked to the counter, and said without expression:
"A luxury suite."
After actually moving in and entering the smaller bedroom, the fat pharmacist Darkwill opened the window to leave the "door" for the owl Mr. Harry, and took out the ring box in his pocket to check the condition of the strange dice.
After confirming that the dice were still the same as before, with four pointing up and no change, Darkwill quietly exhaled.
…………
Backlund, inside an ordinary house.
Ince Zangwill woke up from a deep sleep, his first reaction was to confirm his own condition.
This is something he does repeatedly every day, because he has no way of knowing what stories "0-08" will weave and what kind of accidents he will bring after he falls asleep.
After confirming that he was not injured, Ince Zangwill put on his shiny leather boots and stood up.
Unexpectedly, he saw "0-08" quietly placed on the desk, like the most common and common quill.
However, it had been locked away last night in a metal box with layers of symbols and magical markings.
Ince Zangwill walked over solemnly, held "0-08" in one hand, and opened the notebook next to him with the other, and found that there was nearly an extra page of text:
"Ince Zangwill didn't remember what he did last night, but he was keenly aware of some problems.
"He looked into the mirror, and found himself inside had a strange feeling, as if another Ince Zangwill had been born in his body.
"He lowered his head and saw obvious abnormalities in the nails of his hands, but he couldn't recall what he did last night..."
After reading this description,
Ince Zangwill instinctively looked at the full-length mirror in the room, and saw that he was still blind in one eye, and there was no wrinkle on his classic sculpture-like face, but there was a slight smile remaining at the corner of his mouth , in stark contrast to the dignified gaze.
At this moment, Ince Zangwill felt that his face was a little blue, and the underside of his eye sockets was dark. Coupled with that smile that he didn't know how to appear, the overall appearance was very gloomy, fierce and weird.
He raised his hands, lowered his head, and saw patches of dried black mud between his nails, as if he had gone to the garden to dig tree roots in the middle of the night.
Although he has changed from the "Reaper" path to the "Dark Night" path and became a "Night Watchman", Ince Zangwill has not lost his previous extraordinary ability, and is still a powerful psychic. The mentor in the domain, so he immediately planned to communicate with the spirits inside and outside the house to find out what happened last night.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the last paragraph on the notebook:
"Ince Zangwill tried to psychic, but sadly found that he had no results. It seemed that someone with the same expertise had dealt with all the clues. He was very worried. He didn't know what he was involved in last night. whats the matter."
Ince Zangwill's expression became more and more serious, and he tried to carry out psychic communication, but as expected, he didn't get any surprising results.
…………
On Wednesday morning, the behind-the-scenes owner has changed outside the Fragrant Leaf Bar.
Klein detoured to a secluded alley, and saw Us Kent carrying a small suitcase.
"Your bounty." Urs Kent threw the not-so-big suitcase over.
This is actually not a bounty in the true sense, it is an advance payment from the military - the former involves the governor's office and the kingdom's finances, and there are many procedures to go through, and it will take at least three days to complete.
Klein caught the suitcase, opened it on the spot, and saw neat stacks of banknotes inside, mainly £1 and £5.
"A total of 5,400 pounds, no commission." Us Kent forced a smile.
For other adventurers, he would give 4,000 pounds at most, and the rest would be the income of a series of people in the link.
But the opposite was a crazy guy, whose strength was even closer to that of a pirate general. Afraid of being shot dead on the spot, he had no choice but to work voluntarily.
The military probably wouldn't deceive me with counterfeit bills... Klein grabbed a stack of bills and shook his hands casually.
5,400 pounds... Darkwill, who was hiding outside the alley, heard Us Kent's words, took a peek at the suitcase, and was dazzled by the stacks of gold pounds full of texture inside.
It was the first time he had seen so much money put together.
"Adventurer is really a lucrative profession. A pirate who hunts successfully can earn several thousand pounds. I can earn 1,000 pounds for three days of protection plus one requirement. I can occasionally find shipwrecks and treasures...Why should I be a pharmacist instead of an adventurer? If I knew about it earlier, I should have chosen that lucky Extraordinary path..." Darkwill thought with great envy.
But he quickly remembered the reality, that is, most adventurers are not that rich. Even if they can make a fortune, one-third of the income has to be contributed to the pharmacist, not to treat injuries or eliminate old problems. Suffering is to buy medicine to add to the fun and deal with hidden diseases.
It's still safe to be a pharmacist... Darkwill sighed in his heart.
At this time, Klein, who did not count carefully but only roughly determined the amount, closed the suitcase, and said to Us Kent:
"I will be away from Bayam for a while, if there is any news, how should I inform you?"
"You want to leave Bayam?" Us Kent asked in surprise.
Klein nodded lightly and said:
"Accepted a bodyguard mission."
Us Kent was stunned at first, and then felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
If this lunatic stays in Bayam for a long time, he will cause big trouble one day. It is better to float on the sea and fight those pirates... Us Kent immediately smiled and said:
"You can send a telegram directly and attach my address. The telegraph office has our people."
"Okay." Klein, who was wearing a black wool overcoat, didn't say much, picked up his suitcase, turned and left the alley.
Together with Darkwill, he headed straight to the port area, preparing to take the earliest passenger ship to Oravi Island, while the owl flew among the trees on the roadway, looking sneaky and sneaky—they had bought tickets for the black boat last night.
Half an hour before boarding the ship, Darkwill was quite tormented, fearing that someone who betrayed his teacher would suddenly arrive and attack him.
This emotion was maintained until he entered the first-class cabin to which he belonged. As long as the passenger ship enters the sea, it will be difficult for Extraordinary people who do not have the ability to fly or their own ships to intercept it midway.
"Let's go, let's go..." Darkwill looked out the window and muttered to himself.
At this time, the owl had followed and landed on his left shoulder, while Klein was sitting on a chair in the room, guarding against possible attacks.
At this moment, the sky quickly became dark, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the humidity in the air increased significantly.
"Is there a storm?" Darkwill blurted out with his eyes open.
This means that the boat may not set sail on time, perhaps a few hours late!
And in that case, Darkwill will take many unnecessary risks!
He turned his head to look at Gehrman Sparrow, squeezed out a smile and said:
"Is there anything you can do?"
Yes, there is, for example, you immediately prayed to "Sea God" Kavitua, and I immediately responded above the gray mist to disperse the storm... But there is no doubt, after a few minutes or even tens of seconds, "Sea King" Ya En Cottman will rush over, and his attack will be even earlier... Klein looked at the fat pharmacist, and calmly responded:
"I'm just an adventurer."
Darkwill knew that he really shouldn't have unnecessary expectations, so he cursed the weather secretly, turned back, stuck his head out of the window, and studied the specific situation.
Boom!
A silver lightning strike struck Darkwill before Klein could react.
Darkwill suddenly collapsed in convulsions, his whole body was smoking, his skin was scorched, and the electric snakes were running wildly.
Klein was almost stunned. This was the first time he saw someone being struck by lightning during a thunderstorm.
This is too bad luck... He even forgot to rescue Darkwill for a short time.
Mr. Harry the owl was also stunned for a few seconds, then screamed:
"Quick, quick! There is a bottle of potion in the second hidden pocket on his left, feed him quickly!"
This owl can talk... Klein raised his eyebrows, took a few steps forward, bent down, found the bottle of blood-red potion, and forcefully poured it into Darkwill's mouth.
After nearly two minutes, Darkwill finally woke up. While shedding his scorched skin, he stood up with difficulty and said:
"I, I'm going to take care of the injury."
He staggered into his bedroom and locked the door behind him.
After finishing all this, he took out the ring box and opened the lid heavily.
In the ring box with almost no room to turn, the milky white dice has changed at some point, and the red two dots are facing up!
In the living room outside, Klein stood where he was, recalling everything that happened before, his brows furrowed a little.
At this moment, he inexplicably felt that the enemies he would face in this bodyguard mission might be different from before.
When Darkwell initially recovered and came out again, Klein sat on a chair, leaned forward slightly and said:
"Explain.
"It's about how I provide protection." …
