Chapter 115 Lucky One's Potion
The sea area surrounding Bayam.
The Golden Dream pirate ship is not suitable for docking directly in port due to its inherent characteristics.
Lorne and Danitz took a small boat to the shore.
"Brando, are you really leaving?" Danitz looked at Lorne, who was playing with the orange cat, and made a final attempt to persuade him to stay.
"The captain said you can stay on the Golden Dream."
Lorne scratched Rachi's chin, and the orange cat purred, "What, you really want to take me on as your underling? Boss~"
"There are only the two of us here, you can't threaten me..." Danitz wasn't angry, he just rolled his eyes.
Looks like he's gotten used to it... Lorne gazed at the gradually clearer outline of the port:
"Sea adventures aren't for me, and besides... I still need to open a factory, don't I?"
"I can't lie to the captain!"
That's the truth. Although his time on the Golden Dream was relatively comfortable, Lorne never had the habit of staying at sea as a pirate, and the reason his life was comfortable was because he was a guest rather than a sailor.
"Hmph, what's wrong with sea adventures?" Danitz scoffed.
"Besides, the captain has been so good to you, and I've already promised to help you find the next potion recipe, so you have absolutely no reason to leave..."
"The captain has been very good to me, but..." Lorne didn't finish his sentence.
It's a bit too good...
It's so good it's almost scary. Putting aside the mystical courses I've been taking, just that £5000...
Although it's true that I retrieved the key, it's still her boat after all.
Clearly, Lorne felt that the courtesy he was receiving was too much, so much so that it frightened him.
It was as if they were coveting him.
Although he didn't think Edwina was a bad person, it's always better to be safe than sorry, so it was best to leave.
"However, I didn't expect you to take me all the way to Bayam." Lorne looked at Danitz.
"It was the captain's order, not my own choice," Danitz muttered, then, as if remembering something, asked, "You're not going to go find that Roy King, are you?"
Danitz's tone was somewhat resentful; it was that lousy doctor's treatment that had caused him the greatest humiliation of his life.
"Yes," Lorne readily admitted, "I promised him when I left earlier."
"Moreover, he has the potion recipe I need."
"But...that guy is still very suspicious, isn't he?"
"Why would they inexplicably want to take you on as a student or something?"
"Suspicious is suspicious..." Lorne paused for a moment, "but he did help us after all, didn't he?"
"If he were a bad guy, you would have become a bounty the night you were attacked."
"Or maybe he just didn't recognize me?" Danitz retorted.
"Tsk," Lorne shook his head, "It shouldn't be that bad, with your terrible makeup skills..."
"Bullshit!" Danitz's face flushed red as he tried to retort, but he was speechless. He knew perfectly well that his disguise skills were indeed terrible.
Seeing that Danitz had fallen silent, Lorne continued.
"I also asked the captain for her opinion, and she also thought that Roy King should be reliable."
"Oh, right." He suddenly remembered something else.
"Will we run into the 'Iron' group on this trip to Bayam?" He was still quite worried about these potential enemies.
"Don't worry, I already inquired about it when we were exchanging supplies at sea."
"Admiral Blood and his men are currently in another sea area and will not be able to reach Bayam anytime soon."
"Besides, the Golden Dream is nearby. Even if 'Iron' is in Bayam, he wouldn't dare to do anything reckless," Danitz said confidently.
……
Before long, the small boat finally reached the shore, and the two set foot on the land of Bayam.
After landing, Lorne accompanied Danitz to 13 Fragrant Tree Avenue.
After confirming that the property documents for his house were still valid, Danitz visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Next time, don't install such a heavy door in the basement," Lorne said, pointing to the specially reinforced door panel in the basement.
"Anyone can see there's something wrong with it."
"Mind your own business! I haven't even asked you for money to fix the door yet," Danitz retorted, kicking the doorframe.
……
"Will you come with me?" Lorne raised an eyebrow at Danitz, who was determined to follow.
"I'm just idling around anyway," Danitz said with a nonchalant shrug.
He doesn't trust me... this guy.
The two arrived at Roy King's residence. After knocking, Lorne King opened the door. He was still wearing his gold-rimmed glasses, and his clothes were neat and appropriate, giving him the appearance of a cultured man.
"Coffee or tea?" Roy King asked kindly after welcoming the two into the house.
"Coffee is fine."
"Looks like you've had a new adventure lately." Roy King handed him a cup of coffee.
"It's not exactly an adventure," Lorne shook his head.
Compared to his previous experience in Tingen, this time studying at sea was far more pleasant and hardly an adventure.
Of course, the intense studying every day isn't exactly a pleasant memory.
"Every experience is a guide to destiny, and each one can bring you more insights into life," Roy King said with a smile.
"Hmm," Lorne responded, then got to the point.
"By the way, about that thing you mentioned before about wanting me to be your student, I've been thinking about it, and I think I..."
"That matter," Roy King suddenly interrupted him, "I've thought about it, and I realize I was too hasty."
"So you can completely pretend I never said those things."
Ah... no, I was about to agree, why did you suddenly turn your back?
The sudden changes left Lorne somewhat at a loss.
He didn't know why Roy King had changed his attitude, but he also knew that this was a veiled rejection. If they continued the conversation, neither side would have a way to back down.
After a moment of contemplation, Lorne said:
"All right……"
"I have one more request."
Roy King maintained his smile.
"you say."
"I want to buy the 'Lucky One' potion recipe."
Regardless, this was an opportunity to improve his rank, and Lorne didn't want to give it up.
With the £5000 sponsored by Edwina, buying a Sequence 7 potion recipe is nothing. Even if there is a premium, as long as it is not too outrageous, he will buy it.
"Actually, there's an even simpler and more convenient option." After hearing Lorne's request, Roy King got up and went to a nearby cubicle.
"Wait a minute."
A moment later, he returned carrying a transparent bottle, the liquid inside shimmering with a faint green light.
"This is the potion you wanted."
