Chapter 821 Dice
The herbal medicine shop in the alley diagonally opposite the "Red Theater" is still open. The fat pharmacist Darkwill is sitting behind the counter, calm on the outside but anxious on the inside.
Ever since he got Abner's advice, he often took advantage of the opportunity of helping people prepare potions and entrusted some adventurers or pirates to find out about the teacher's whereabouts.
And just yesterday, he finally got news from a guard at the Governor's Mansion that his teacher Roy King was secretly arrested by the military and is currently being held in the Governor's Mansion.
If this guard hadn't joined the "Celestial Body Sect" and consumed too much from a noble lady, resulting in severe physical depletion, he would not have risked his life to tell the fat pharmacist the news.
Of course, the more important reason is that Governor Bayam is about to leave office, and these guards have lost their previous respect for him.
Darkwill has contacted the known members of the "School of Life" through various methods to seek necessary help, but he has no way of knowing who will come or when. He can only endure fear and anxiety and continue to open the store, pretending to be something. None of it happened.
"Darkwill, you are very uneasy." The owl squatting on the shoulder of the little girl Budi said.
"You don't need to remind me, I know my status very well." Darkwill waved his hand impatiently.
He still remembers that when he was studying with his teacher, he was always warned to be careful of official organizations and real vampires. To this end, Roy King gave many examples of being permanently imprisoned underground, unable to see the sun, and unable to see the sun. Without women, how can one become a researcher and use one's body to test the dangers of certain sealed objects? How can one undergo various experiments and mutate into a monster with only instincts left; what can be sucked by vampires and turned into a puppet.
So he has a bad mouth, but he rarely causes trouble, and he never stays in a city for more than three months.
Fortunately, seeing Buddy's worried eyes, Darkwill suppressed his fear to save face and turned his attention to what to do.
If only Abner was still in Byam... Darkwill scratched his hair in annoyance, but then suddenly he remembered the last correspondence between himself and his teacher Roy King.
"He seems to have asked me to go to the Marpel grocery store on Enmat Street and buy a dice... I have ignored this before, but now that I think about it, this request is a bit abrupt... Maybe there is a secret there?"
Thinking of this, Darkwill plucked up the courage, took the owl, and let Buddy look after the store temporarily while he walked out of the alley.
Then, he bought a small ring box at the grocery store for a high price of 1 gold pound.
There is a milky white six-sided die in the ring box, and the upward number is red 4.
Later, he encountered all kinds of bad luck because he accidentally dropped the dice to the ground. However, during the police interrogation, he was lucky enough to hit 6, and he passed the test safely and returned to the store.
At this time, night has fallen, and the light from the gas street lamps on both sides is far apart, and can only illuminate a little of the road.
Entering the herbal medicine shop with trepidation, he briefly comforted Budi who looked worried. He took the owl up to the living quarters on the second floor and repeatedly checked the ring box and milky white dice.
Finally, he pulled out a piece of paper folded to the size of half a knuckle from the bottom compartment of the ring box.
Darkwill took a silent breath and started reading quickly.
It was a message written by his teacher. In addition to describing how he might have been betrayed by the mole, it also described in detail the role of the die, saying that it had certain characteristics of being alive. The more it was used, the easier it would be to wake up. , and will turn itself around without paying attention, even if there is no space.
When it is fixed at '1', it will be more painful than death directly, because you will fail in almost everything you do!
Finally, he issued a mission... to ask Darkwill to bring the dice to Kano, the bell ringer on Oravi Island, or Detective Abner Brain.
Sure enough, this dice is very dangerous... Darkwill sighed subconsciously, and soon realized that he had done something stupid out of his good intentions.
In order to rescue his teacher Roy King, he overcame his timidity, stayed in Bayam, and sent a message for help to the known members of the School of Life.
And according to the content of the letter, this means that he is likely to be targeted by the person who betrayed Roy King!
"Why didn't I think of buying this dice earlier! If I had bought it earlier, I wouldn't have sent a message to the traitor... Moreover, if it had been earlier, maybe Abner hadn't left Byam..." Duckwei I raised my hands and grabbed the hair on both sides.
However, he immediately had a doubt: Why should it be handed over to Abner? Although he is very powerful, he is only in the middle rank. Is he really capable of handling such a terrifying sealed object?
Moreover, this sealed artifact belongs to the school, why should it be given to outsiders?
After thinking for a long time to no avail, Darkwill decided to give up. After all, the teacher was always nagging, he was used to it, and he had no idea where Abner was. The only option now was to go to Olavi Island. .
He did not dare to stay here any longer, so he decided to move his accommodation tonight and head to Olavi Island early tomorrow morning - an island located on the "Rhoside Islands-Toscat" route.
"My charm, my pistol, my whip..." Darkwill was busy counting items that could provide a sense of security, worried about his lack of sufficient combat power.
Suddenly, he thought of Budi again, and he didn't know how to deal with her. Although the little girl has made a lot of progress recently and has the ability to survive...but his enemy is not an ordinary person, and he will not be found when the time comes. Will it embarrass her?
But it might be more dangerous to have her with you!
Darkwill's expression suddenly became distorted, then quickly calmed down, distorted again, and calmed down again... After repeated attempts, he felt that it was better to seek Budi's opinion. After all, this was a major matter involving life and death, and he was not qualified to do it. The other party makes the decision.
She is not the stupid bird bound to herself.
Just when Darkwill had figured it out and exhaled a breath, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"They're here to catch me! Someone's here to catch me!"
Darkwill's first reaction was to be exposed. He was either an official person or a traitor of the "School of Life"...
Uncontrollable fear surged out of his heart that had just calmed down, and he wanted to hide the dice.
But it wasn't until then that he discovered that the milky-white dice had turned over at some point.
This time it's a red six o'clock up.
Does this seem like good luck? Darkwill covered his heart and asked with a trembling voice:
"who is it?"
"Boss, it's me... Budi." Budi's clear voice sounded outside the door.
Darkwill then sat down on the chair and felt that he was alive again.
"It's your friend Mr. Abner Brain who is here with a patient." Buddy's voice came from outside the door again.
"What?!"
Daniz glanced at the upward number "6" on the dice and thought to himself: It seems that my luck is pretty good?
…
In the yard, Abner held Tracy, who was wearing a hooded robe, waiting for Darkwill.
The reason why he didn't go back to Tosk or Trier directly was because Tracy's body really couldn't be delayed any longer, and the herbs here in Darkwell were relatively complete and could be used to make some potions for alleviating toxins.
As for the robe on Tracy, Abner naturally found a random one from "Aroma Manor" and put it on for her.
He didn't think there was anything to avoid. Not to mention that "Lieutenant General Disease" turned out to be a man, he just said that in the deepest part of Daniel's maze, Tracy was stripped naked after being controlled by people from the "Rose School" He had seen it all and had long lost the idea of "exploring" it.
"However, there was something wrong with Budi's expression just now... Could it be that something happened here in Darkwill?
"But even with me, Butterfly, there should still be some time before the plot of 'The Dice of Probability' begins, right?"
As soon as he thought of this, he saw a pale-faced Darkwill walking out of the room holding a milky-white dice in his palm.
Seeing this, Abner shook his hand and almost threw Tracy like a dice.
