Chapter 61 Arabella

and

It didn't seem to be a simple explosion accident, but another reason.

As for getting the hidden potion, Elsa's guess is that it needs to prevent the troupe from dying.

"In "Deep One", the condition for me to get the potion is probably because the tragedy that happened in the story didn't happen"

"Mavis, what about you?"

Yago, who was standing at the door, turned half-turned and asked little Betty.

Mavis is the name of Little Betty's identity.

"have no idea."

Little Betty, who took off her black robe and wore a light long skirt, showed a tall and sexy figure, but she still looked expressionless.

She sat quietly on the edge of the bed, responding to Yago's question:

"It develops just like in the story, nothing changes."

Little Betty's answer made Elsa's guess less accurate.

It is impossible to determine the commonality, and Yago has no way to draw any rules from the two cases, and it is even hard to say whether there are rules.

After confirming the location, the three set off immediately.

"As long as the troupe has an accident, the story will end, so we only have one day to explore. If an accident occurs and the troupe has an accident earlier, our time will be even shorter."

"Be careful when using abilities. Although it is just a story, the Extraordinary team here, especially the broken gear, has extraordinary abilities. This is Arabella. Although there is no specific time, it is undoubtedly the headquarters of the Church of Steam. There may be a high-sequence Extraordinary in the gear."

"Don't be greedy, because it's a story, and there are many differences from reality."

"According to the books in the family, there is only one bottle of potion in the world in the book that is real, and it may exist in any form of bottled matter. Drinking other potions has no effect, and the potion formula obtained from here is also true. Anything that deviates from the real potion formula is even a fake."

"Moreover, if you enter the book world through consciousness, taking real potions will not be effective. You must enter the real body and take potions to be effective."

"Also, if the consciousness dies after entering the world in the book, not only will it lose all the memories experienced in the world in the book, it will also have a certain impact on the body, and it may be weak for about a week."

"Here, we can use extraordinary abilities, including blue blood."

"Another point is that the relevant memory of the experience after entering the world in the book through consciousness may also fade and become blurred after leaving, just like a dream."

While recalling Elsa's explanation before entering the book world, Yago was thinking about strategies.

The tactic of relying on avatars to go reckless, finding a potion and drinking a potion regardless of the consequences is definitely not going to work.

After he sorted out his thoughts three times and confirmed that he had memorized the benchmarks and precautions for the action, the three of them also came to the location of the troupe.

The Arabella Republic is not that big, about the same size as Glora County, and the land of the Principality of Cartesia is equivalent to the size of more than 20 Glora Counties, so it can be seen that Arabella is not too big.

And the reason.

Arabella is an island country.

A country that stands on a rocky mountain range surrounded by the ocean is, so to speak, a giant sea cliff.

There is no "county" level division in Arabella, only urban agglomerations formed by more than a dozen cities.

Because of the lack of soil and very little land available, Arabella is extremely resource-poor and therefore highly urbanized.

Central City is the old palace, the residence of the head of state, the seat of the parliament and various departments, and is the brain of Arabella.

Western urban agglomeration is the center of finance and trade.

The eastern urban agglomeration is an industrial area and a worker's residential area, and the headquarters of the Church of Steam is here.

The southern urban agglomeration is a mixed area of ​​industry, commerce and residence.

All of these are collectively referred to as Uptown.

Because of the lack of land, the growing, not rich, or simply the poor, moved to the sea caves eroded by the waves, and these were used to create small gathering places over time.

This is called the lower city.

Because of the relationship between management and sewage, the environment and law and order in the lower city are the worst, and quite a few stowaways enter Arabella from the lower city through the ocean.

More than half of the people living in the lower city are not Arabella.

Theft, robbery, murder, all kinds of crime and chaos, all kinds of elements that are difficult to see in the upper city, seem to be common sense in the lower city.

Because of the existence of "lower city", the division of "upper city" came into being.

The place where the story of "Crow Song" takes place is in the southern urban agglomeration.

The characters possessed by the three of Yago are all in the southern urban agglomeration, or they cannot go outside the southern urban agglomeration.

Although this is the upper city, this is the place that is most closely connected with the lower city——

Below the southern urban agglomeration lies the largest sea cave in Arabella.

This traveling troupe is not much different from the neighborhood where Halls lived. A block of gas street lights lit up, lighting up the street from the darkness.

Flames burning inside the lampshade bring a warm glow to the street.

The three of them did not walk together, and they separated when they reached the streets near their destination.

In order to avoid encountering the Extraordinary of the Broken Gear Squad when using their abilities, they were wiped out, and it was a waste of manpower for the three of them to investigate the matter together.

Moreover, Yago, as a police officer of "Halls", can investigate and obtain information, which is not suitable for acting with two women who do not have police status.

Especially since one of them was a twelve-year-old textile worker and the other a dancer.

As for safety?

Compared with himself as a rookie, he felt that both of them had a higher probability of accident and survival than him.

Taking out the shriveled wallet, Yago found a few coins from it.

Two Connies with denominations of 1 and 2, a gold pound with denomination of 1, and several Connies with denominations of 5, 10, and 20.

It's not Catesia's stupid 1:12:240, but the whole tens of 1:100, and 1 gold pound is equal to 100 koney.

but

Looking at the brass-colored coins in his hands and the gold-colored coins after removing the patina, Yago gave up the idea of ​​using them as blood bottles.

The blood of silver refers to silver metal, not silver metal, he has never tried it and dare not try it.

But other aspects can still be used.

The thumb pinched on the index finger, and as the pressure on the nail disappeared, the coated brass coin rolled in the light of the gas lamp, and then fell on the back of his hand, showing the gear and Island pattern.

Flipping the coin, Yago glanced at the head portrait of Arabella, whom Hals didn't even recognize.

He always guesses the side of the avatar by default, so this is

fail.

After pondering for a moment, his "line of sight" flicked over the skills of detection, inspiration, listening, and luck.

At first, Yago looked to Inspiration.

If you want to find information, you have to look at inspiration, right?

Finally, Yago looked at Lucky.

If you want to play a gambler, you have to read metaphysics, right?

【Luck Check = 9】

But at this moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

An inexplicable sense of déjà vu, everything in front of me seems to be distorted.

The feeling he had felt before made Yago stand still.

He shook his head, trying to get back from this weird feeling, but at this moment, writing appeared on the page:

【Luck Check = 1/50】
