Chapter 42

: Things that are turbulent

Author: Lin Zixie

Luo Yao continued her patrol mission, Esther followed her, her eyes falling on the tombstones. She couldn't control herself and always wanted to learn more or less about the souls who were sleeping here.

Most of the epitaphs are very serious, but some of them are written with cheerful and playful words, like a 60-year-old man's tombstone engraved with a sentence "Good night and good dream, I finally bid farewell to insomnia", and

On a slate with a bow engraved, it says "The most fashionable bow must belong to Annabelle", and there is a love shape behind it.

Below a finely carved wine bottle, the epitaph of the alcohol lover is engraved: "I advise you to have another bottle, and the skeleton is full of glasses!"

Esther even saw a joke: "Dear Drake will never be bothered by baldness again!"

Even if life has passed, a pit and a stone are not enough to tell the many trajectories they have lived, but it reflects one side of their life, including the one they want to leave to the person they know the most, which can be made

What people cry can make people laugh.

However, most of the tombstones are square, like a document photo growing from the soil, spreading out the birth name of the deceased. The following words are from the deepest nostalgia of relatives and friends for them.

It's often heartbreaking.

Esther sighed, and as she walked through a grass, she didn't notice the rustling inside, and the things flying by her feet, until she stepped on something, and was bitten back on her calves by the long strip of creature.

.This sudden attack made Esther scream. She subconsciously pinched the thing's neck with her backhand and threw it onto the hard ground with all her strength.

"Esther!?" Luo Yao, who was walking a few steps ahead, immediately turned around and saw the dead snake, which was lying in the middle of the ground. "How could there be a snake here?"

"I don't know if you ran in randomly? It was scary." Esther lifted up his trouser legs, but he didn't see tooth marks, only two deeper red marks.

"This kind of snake seems very rare, I have never seen it in Tingen." Luo Yao turned the snake over with the tip of his shoe, looked at its pattern, and said in confusion.

Esther stared at the swollen tail that circled around the snake for a few seconds, and picked up the breathless red-ringed snake from the ground: "At least I caught it. Take it back to check it out, and said

Maybe it can come in some use."

Luo Yao didn't take it seriously, just like Esther was safe: "Yes, it's your spoil."

Two hours later, Esther took the snake into the arsenal of the Black Thorn Security Company and showed it to Old Neil who is also on duty here today.

After checking the dead snake's fangs and tail, the old profession's eyes lit up: "This seems to be a Badha Rattlesnake! Where did you get it?"

Esther laughed dryly and said bluntly: "I picked it up."

"Picked up? This extraordinary creature is not something weed that can be picked up on the ground! Its blood and snake scales are worth a lot of money as extraordinary materials, which is rare..."

Esther's heart moved: "Is this called the Badha Rattlesnake?"

"Yes, the circular pattern of the snake's tail and snake body is a feature that it is easy to notice, but you see that the teeth here have no sharp edges, but emit some silver light." Old Neil opened the snake's mouth and let Ai Mie open it.

Stee saw it more clearly, "This is the light it used to hypnotize prey. The snake itself has no venom, but it will trick other animals into approaching and then quickly strangle. Where did you catch it?"

"I went to patrol the cemetery with Ms. Luo Yao today, and then it suddenly rushed out and I stepped on it..."

Old Neil stared at Esther with an indescribable look: "Your luck is so good that it's far beyond reason, little guy."

Esther looked at the long snake on the table helplessly: "But I can't deal with it, it's useless for me to take it. Can Mr. Neil help me?"

"Oh? You're not going to find someone to sell this snake yourself?"

Esther quickly said, "In fact, I just want the pair of poisonous fangs to be remembered. If you can help me, you can give it to you anything else."

"You really know how to choose. The most valuable thing is this pair of poisonous fangs, at least fifty gold list." Old Neil hesitated for a moment, patted the smooth and gorgeous snake body, and nodded, "Okay, I can ask someone to help me."

After removing the labor cost, I will give you the fangs to you. I will give you other materials at a price of 50% and not take advantage of this.”

"Is that OK? Thank you very much!"

Old Neil waved his hand with a smile: "It's just that I went to take a channel, but I finally made a profit. This is your harvest after all."

"No, no, it's a great help if someone can help me with it." Esther said with a smile, but was quite excited.

This is one of the main ingredients of the "monster" formula, and half of Admisol's potion has been settled!

——

"Special application?" The next day, Esther was excited to share this lucky gain with Klein. When he saw him pounding the report document in the office of the civilian staff, Klein also shared his own with Esther.

Good news.

"Yes, I'm going to apply for promotion from the Holy Church, promotion sequence eight."

Esther sincerely felt happy for his fellow villagers: "This is amazing! How long have you been joining the night watcher? You have been promoted! You have been here for less than two months, but I have watched you become an extraordinary person.

I didn’t expect you to upgrade so soon!”

"Actually, it will be two months next week." Klein blinked and said innocently.

"What two months?" Leonard also walked into the civilian office. He was buttoning up his loose shirt. After noticing that Esther was also there, his lazily buttoned speed suddenly increased.

few.

Klein shook his hand and just wrote the report: "I'm going to apply for promotion sequence eight."

Leonard coughed violently, and his hoarseness made Esther worry, and he patted his back hard. Perhaps it was because Esther was so painful that Leonard quickly calmed down and flashed.

A place outside Esther's arm range: "You've finished digesting the potion now?"

Esther glanced at Leonard in confusion: "Digest?"

Klein raised his eyebrows and took over the topic: "Yes."

Klein walked to Leonard, lowered his voice and added with a smile: "I remember anyone who told me that there are always people in this world who are special and able to accomplish things that others cannot do.

For example, me.

For example, you.”

Esther's face gradually twisted together, and she walked out of here with goose bumps on her arms, and felt a headache for her fellow villager who suddenly had a second-class relationship: "It's not my business, it's not my business..."

She walked to the front desk and found that Janet and Jon were chatting with Roshan, so she joined in.

At the same time, at the instigation of Leonard, Klein was dragged to the Nightkeeper Lounge by him, and shared the shortcut to digesting potions through the "playing method" with the rest of the Nightkeeper Team of Tingen.

——

The next day, Old Neil handed the fangs of Badha Rattlesnake to Esther and gave her the materials for eight gold pounds and five suls, which surprised Esther. Old Neil just smiled and put on his face.

Waving his hand, he said he got more.

A few days later, because Morse Town reported several suspected haunted incidents, Klein, Leonard and Cohenley once again traveled with the seal "3-0782", because Dunn himself had no plans to accompany him, he

He did not allow Esther to participate in the mission of this three-person team. Dunn was really worried that Esther would leave too far with the seal.

Esther was a little disappointed, but Dunn had made the decision, and after telling Klein that they were paying attention to safety, she stayed honestly in the arsenal and helped Old Neal sort out and revise some ancient language literature.

"Esther."

"What's wrong, Mr. Neil?"

Esther raised her head from a translation of the Elf, and more than half of the interpretations were close to nonsense, which made her very troublesome to revise.

Old Neil was holding an iron bottle, not holding the coffee cup he often held. His dark red eyes were turbidder than usual, and there seemed to be gloom in it, making his originally old face even more worried.

He called Esther, but he didn't say anything anymore. He just looked at Esther quietly, staring at the void, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Mr. Neil?" Esther shouted again.

"Ah, yes... sorry, I was so tragic when I thought about it just now. Think about it carefully, I really can't involve others, haha." Old Neil smiled very gently. Somehow, Esther felt it from it.

sad.

Esther put down the translation, moved the chair to the desk, and looked at the old Neil's expression worriedly: "Mr. Neil, is there something wrong? Can I help me?"

"Well, maybe there is, maybe not." Old Neil blinked slyly, "To be honest, I've been afraid of you, Esther."

"Scared?" Esther scratched his head, "It is normal for you to think so. I know that your path has the ability to see the abnormality in me. Klein secretly told me about my condition.

It's very strange."

"Hahaha, Klein is also a very good young man, it's good that I have someone to succeed." Old Neil smiled with relief and patted Esther on the shoulder, "But you will never hurt you

Tingen nightclubs, aren’t they?”

Esther immediately looked stern: "Of course not! I want to protect everyone!"

Old Neil's smile-smile eyes made Esther more and more uneasy. She leaned over and said, "Mr. Neil, if something really happens, you must ask everyone for help, okay?"

Old Neil shook his head: "I can't help, forget it, it's just because I'm old and can't do it..."

"Mr. Neil—"

Old Neil raised one hand and signaled Esther not to worry anymore: "Don't worry, it won't cause trouble for everyone. OK OK, please help me see the article, I'm still waiting for you

After proofreading, you don’t know that those simple novices start to translate randomly after mastering a few words. The semi-finished products are circulated on the market, which is really a headache..."

Hearing this, Esther knew that she could not ask anything, so he had to continue to look through the documents. She accompanied Old Neil in the arsenal until Old Neil and Fry changed shifts and left Black Thorn Security Company.

After the two handed over, Esther helped Old Neil, who hurriedly left after asking Dunn for leave, packed up the things and tabletops in the house. Old Neil was too anxious today, and even the various documents he would collect.

Forgot to sort it out.

In the middle of a Hermis paper book that studies the alchemy magic of life, Esther discovered the Peaceful Knot bookmark she gave to Old Neil.
