Returning to the second floor from the basement, Angel actually felt like he was in another world.
She took out her pocket watch and looked at the time. In fact, less than half an hour had passed.
But in front of "Goddess's Sword" Crestet Cesimir, who has an unclear attitude and strange abilities, it is not an exaggeration to say that life is like a year.
Fortunately, until the end of the examination, the senior deacon's attitude was very kind...
Angel wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, passed through the corridor, passed through the partition, and returned to the reception hall.
At this time, the heavy rain outside the window has stopped, the dark clouds have dispersed, and the bright sunshine is shining on Earth Mother, passing through the windows facing the street, coating the furniture and ground in the hall with a layer of golden color.
Only two people were seated in the reception hall. Klein was squirming on the sofa a little restlessly. The coffee in front of him had already gone cold, but he didn't take a sip. Ms. Daly, who was sitting opposite him, was lazily leaning on the back of the sofa, holding a newspaper and flipping through it, which was in sharp contrast to the former's mood.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Klein turned to look at the partition and found that it was Angel who was walking towards him. Only then did the worry on his face fade away. He stood up and asked:
"Did you pass the exam?"
"Yes, Lord Cesimir is indeed what Ms. Daly said. I successfully passed the test and now I have taken Potion and become Beyonder of Sequence 8."
Angel replied, telling Klein implicitly about Crestet's attitude, telling him not to worry.
"Congratulations on taking Potion!"
After being stunned for a short time, Klein quickly understood what the other party meant, and an undisguised smile appeared on his face.
"I just said, there is no need to worry about her," Daly's fair face poked out from behind the newspaper, "Klein was restless just now, asking me, and wanting to find Dunn, so he almost rushed into the basement."
She winked at Angel, reminding the latter of this move that Dunn occasionally used.
"Ahem - I'm worried about my teammates."
Klein turned his face to the side, coughed and said.
"Okay, now it's my turn to worry about you. It's your turn to go down, 'Seer'."
Bypassing Klein and coming to the sofa, Angel sat opposite Daly and then said to Klein.
She emphasized "Seer" and at the same time looked forward to how the other party would perform after being promoted to a "clown".
Is it really possible to become a...
Klein seemed to have thought of the same problem. He left the reception hall with a strange expression and went to Alchemy Room to take the test.
"How's it going? Have you ever drank 'Instigator' Potion again and lost control on the spot?"
Looking at the direction Klein was leaving, Daly asked in a cheerful tone with a smile on his lips.
"I just heard you say that this senior deacon brought 'Instigator' Potion. I really thought it would end like this..."
Angel sighed deliberately and replied. She directly picked up the coffee that Klein had not yet drank and drank it in one gulp. Well, it was already cold and the fat had risen...
"Why, didn't you say in your letter that I have no chance to scare you again?"
The expression on Daly's face at this time can be called sunny, at least more dazzling than the smile of Sun outside the window.
After enjoying her verbal victory, she took out a palm-sized black wooden box from behind her back, looked around mysteriously, and then handed it to Angel.
"What is this?"
The latter took the wooden box and tried to feel the objects in the box, but found that the box with a simple appearance and sharp edges had the effect of isolating Spirituality, and asked curiously.
"In your letter, you asked me to find something at Backlund."
Looking for Backlund... could it be "Agate Peacock's Egg"?
Remembering what she had asked her to do in her reply to Daly, Angel felt that her breathing was a little heavier, and the box in her hand became heavier.
Under the encouraging eyes of the other party, she pressed the lock, opened the box, and looked inside.
The walls of the wooden box were much thicker than they looked from the outside, leaving only a space in the middle that was less than half the length and width of the outer wall. An egg-shaped object slightly smaller than an egg was placed in it. The crystal eggshell was like polished glass, and the interior was a mixture of red, green, and orange, like a gem whose colors were disrupted.
After opening the lid of the box, this "jewel" seems to exude a substantial brilliance, which is so fascinating that people can't help but want to touch its smooth surface.
From the memory of Cole, Angel knew the two Main Materials styles of "Witch" and Potion. She knew without additional confirmation that the one in front of her was "Agate Peacock's Egg".
Closing the lid of the box and isolating Spirituality from Beyonder Ingredients, Angel looked up at Daly.
"Thank you, Ms. Daly. I didn't expect you to get this Beyonder Ingredients so quickly." She expressed her sincere thanks. "How much did it cost to purchase this material?"
In order to cope with the review during this period, before submitting the special report, Angel deposited all the "huge property from unknown sources" into her bearer account in Backlund Bank. At this time, except for the weekly salary, she and her family had no money left.
Fortunately, the money in the bank is enough to pay for this Potion material. After Daly finishes quoting the price, she can take it out and return it to the other party today.
"I bought it through a friend's channel. It didn't cost much. Just think of it as a gift to celebrate your successful passing of the exam."
Daly said with a nonchalant expression.
A gift... but this is Potion Main Materials from Sequence 7. Even if there is a way to buy it at a low price, it is worth at least 500 pounds...
Angel couldn't accept such a valuable "gift" and was about to continue making inquiries when he saw Daly smile slyly and said:
"If you think it's too expensive to accept, then think of it as the cost of purchasing information."
"Information?"
"From now on, you can send me Dunn's movements via messenger every week. It must be detailed."
What's going on with the captain?
Angel was speechless. This was not "information" at all. Daly said this just to reassure himself to accept this "gift".
Perhaps, there is some reason to repay her for breaking the barrier between the two.
"Thank you."
Putting the wooden box into the inner pocket of the windbreaker, Angel was silent for a while, and then thanked him again.
Daly said "Uh-huh" and didn't speak any more. Instead, he picked up the copy of "Intis Post" next to him, yawned, and read the tidbits on it.
When Angel had boiled a new pot of hot water and brewed coffee, Klein's figure reappeared in front of the two of them.
It also took half an hour to examine him... but my three questions were extra. That is because after Klein passes the examination, does it need to actually configure and take Potion?
Angel looked at the indifferent Klein, feeling that he was not at all like Spirituality overflowing and unstable like he had just taken Potion.
Is it through meditation that the exposed Spirituality has been restrained, or is it because of the help of "Acting Method"?
Angel guessed, approaching the other person, and at the moment when he opened his mouth to speak, he pulled out the dagger from his waist like lightning, and stabbed Klein, who looked surprised, with a short and sharp sound as the sheath and dagger rubbed against each other.
The latter raised his right hand at a speed far exceeding that of an ordinary person and struck Angel's forward arm from the side. At the same time, his entire upper body leaned back to avoid the dagger stabbing his neck.
With a "bang", Angel's left hand, which came first, blocked Klein's right arm, grabbed it, pulled it back, and pulled his backward body towards him again. The dagger in his right hand was already pressed against the opponent's Adam's apple.
"Better than before, but still not enough."
she commented ruthlessly.
Klein regained consciousness, lowered his eyes, and found that Angel had held the dagger behind him the moment it hit him. What was pressed against his neck was only the handle of the dagger, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It was just a natural reaction of the body. I still need to train more. After I fully master the Potion enhanced body, I will..."
The new Sequence 8 retorted dissatisfiedly.
"Well, then it depends on your performance. Account... No, should you be called a clown now?"
Angel took back the dagger and didn't care about the other party's harsh words.
"Pfft——"
Daly, who hid his face behind the newspaper, let out a chuckle.
