Chapter 32 My Eyes!
Lorne returned to the Azure Hotel, his face beaming with excitement.
"Laki, naming you this was definitely the right decision, I'm rich now." Lorne excitedly picked up the orange cat and spun it around a few times.
"Awoo~"
Seeing the displeasure on Rachi's face, Lorne gently placed it on the bed.
Ruffling its head, Lorne excitedly muttered to himself, "I even made a detailed plan."
I didn't expect it to be so simple.
The man he met today, who called himself the Five of Clubs, was the host of an extraordinary party and took him directly to a secret extraordinary party.
He didn't need to look for any deep markets; he went straight to the target market.
Moreover, with this experience, he has successfully entered this circle, and it will be much more convenient for him to buy and sell any material formulas in the future.
What he didn't expect was that the person with the number 5 in the club seemed to have some kind of identification ability and successfully identified that his formula was genuine.
It was precisely because of his appraisal that Lorne's potion formula sold so smoothly.
He successfully sold the recipes for Sequence 9 "The Diviner" and Sequence 8 "The Clown" today.
Lorne didn't dare sell the Sequence 7 "Magician" recipe, since it would be too conspicuous for one person to sell three potion recipes from the same source at the same time.
Moreover, Sequence 7 is already considered a relatively rare level, and if you sell it directly, it might attract the attention of the official authorities.
Even so, after deducting the handling fees, the two recipes still sold for £650.
He had originally planned to promote the "monster's" potion recipe, but when he thought about how he himself was a "monster," he gave up the idea to prevent others from finding out his true identity.
£650 was more than enough for his daily expenses. The only pity was that he didn't get any clues about the "Monster" pathway Sequence 8 at the party.
"However, since we were able to sell the formula in Tingen, we should be able to sell it again back in Backlund," Lorne thought to himself.
There's no reason why a potion recipe should only be sold once.
He doesn't plan to sell anymore, partly because of the buyer's request, and partly because it's a bit unfair to try to make two different dishes from the same fish in the same region.
So he plans to return to Backlund and try to sell again.
"However, since the recipe is real, what about that notebook..." Lorne couldn't help but sigh as he thought of his lost notebook.
……
……
"I remember the fortune-telling club was somewhere around here."
After making some money and enjoying a sumptuous lunch, Lorne inadvertently wandered onto the street where the fortune-telling club was located.
"The last divination result was a bit mysterious, shall we try again?"
He had no money before, so he couldn't do anything, but now that he has money, maybe he can try divination again and see if he can get some inspiration... With that thought, Lorne pushed open the door and walked into the club.
Meanwhile, inside the fortune-telling club.
Klein activated his spiritual vision. As a newcomer who had just become a "diviner," he found this perspective quite novel, especially in a place like a divination club with a strong mystical atmosphere.
To verify the contents of Russell's diary, he came to this fortune-telling club today to experience what it's like to have your fortune told.
Just as he was using his psychic vision to look around, the door to the divination club was pushed open.
A young man with brown hair and a peculiar demeanor walked in through the door of the fortune-telling club, and Klein subconsciously looked over.
However, before they could even see the other person's face clearly...
At once……
"Ah! My eyes!" Klein immediately covered his eyes and squatted down.
He couldn't help but shed tears, his expression one of extreme pain.
The moment his gaze met that person's, his pupils dilated to their limit, as if he had been directly exposed to a bright light, which made his eyes sting.
"What happened to that person?"
"There seems to be something wrong with the spirituality surrounding him?"
Lorne noticed the young man covering his eyes and, with some curiosity, activated his spiritual vision, turning his gaze over.
"What?"
"My eyes!"
"Why can't I see clearly?"
Lorne suddenly realized that his eyes seemed to have entered a strange filter, and everything around him felt unreal, as if he had fallen into a layer of gray fog.
Like Klein, he also started to lower his head and cover his eyes.
Inside the fortune-telling club, two young people appeared simultaneously, covering their eyes in a panic, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around them.
"Performance art?"
"Has the illness started?"
"Are you crazy?"
……
Feeling like he was being treated like a weirdo by those around him again, Lorne, guided by his intuition, took a step forward and staggered out of the fortune-telling club.
Klein was left bewildered in front of everyone.
……
"Damn it, I thought they were from the Secret Order, but it seems they aren't." The man, still somewhat shaken, sat on the ground cursing as he tended to his wounds.
"Are you alright? You were so reckless this time," a companion asked with concern.
"It's because he was acting suspiciously, and his spiritual reactions were so strange."
"I'm not feeling well, go and divine that person's origins," the man instructed his companion, who was a "diviner."
After a few minutes.
"How is it?" he asked.
"He was originally a member of the Life School, but recently defected to the Rose School and is currently on the run."
As a fortune teller, she is quite adept at gathering information.
"He seems to think we're the ones who came to kill him."
Hearing this, the man became curious and asked, "Then what are his pathways and sequences?"
"It's a Sequence 8 machine from the 'Monster' pathway," the diviner confirmed.
"Sequence 8, the same sequence as mine, no wonder you're so perceptive."
"By the way, why hasn't his extraordinary characteristics been extracted yet?" He looked at the corpse beside him, his expression somewhat puzzled.
This extraordinary individual has been dead for some time now, and his extraordinary characteristics should have been automatically released by now.
The two were somewhat anxious. Officials could appear at any moment, and if they were discovered by the church, they would be in big trouble.
"Wait, it looks like it's about to be released," the diviner said.
Some transparent substances began to appear on the corpse, drawing the attention of the two men.
However, at that moment...
"Someone is coming."
"This feeling...it's extraordinary!"
"What should we do! It's probably someone from the government." The fortune teller was getting anxious.
Both of them were in poor condition and were not confident in dealing with another official extraordinary being.
Glancing at the still-present odor on the corpse, his companion gritted his teeth and said:
"Forget it, let's retreat first."
……
"I suddenly feel so relaxed!"
Lorne felt exceptionally good. After experiencing that strange semi-blindness that afternoon, he felt more relaxed than ever before.
The strange feeling I used to have in my body has completely disappeared.
"Is this what they call turning misfortune into blessing?" Lorne muttered to himself.
"Huh? Why are there such messy footsteps in this alley?"
Looking at the alleyway beside him, Lorne walked in with some curiosity.
