Chapter 8500: Bloodthirsty Gambler ( words)
"Please sit down, Alder."
Avina stretched out her right hand, turned her palm slightly upwards, and pointed at the table in front of her.
"It's Abar, doctor."
"Okay Anar."
"...You should just call me Adele."
Charles sat in the back, his lips pursed under the mask. She found it hard to imagine why Avina could hold her nerve and complete the above conversation with such a blank expression.
"Don't be too careful. The girl behind you is my assistant," Avina asked, looking at Adele sitting in front of her. "What do you want to talk to me about? Is there anything the Redemption Society needs my cooperation with?"
"No," Adele shook her head, "I...have already quit the Redemption Society."
"Oh?" Avina straightened her back slightly, leaned forward slightly, and asked expressionlessly, "What happened? Did they kick you out? Is it because of your teacher?"
Charles, who was behind, finally realized that Avina's desire to eat melons was not to recreate the ritual, but she simply loved eating melons and was more curious than a cat.
"No, I quit on my own." Adele shook her head, glanced at the masked girl behind Avina, and continued, "I saw your flyer at Redemption and came here."
"Are you here for psychological counseling?" Avina nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll help you solve your problems. It's free."
Avina said this calmly and steadily, like a spiritual mentor who has enlightened and answered questions for countless people - if you ignore the fact that she ran away all the patients.
Adele took a deep breath and was about to speak when she saw the red-haired girl behind Avina seemed to move closer.
She finally couldn't help but ask, "Is she from the Redemption Society? I remember seeing her yesterday..."
Not everyone in the Redemption Society knew each other, especially since many members came today to help deal with things. When Adele saw Charles' mask, she obviously misunderstood.
"No, she's my friend. I went to the Redemption Society to buy her a mask because she was infected with dehydration," Avina said. "Don't worry about her telling others about you. You can trust her."
Because she may know more than you... Avina didn't say this, after all, she promised to help Charles keep the secret.
After hearing what Avina said, Adele finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "I believe what the 'Listener' said. Also, Miss, you can drink this. It's a special medicine for dehydration."
Adele took out a small bottle containing a translucent light green capsule.
The antidote is out now?
Charles took the special medicine but did not take it directly. Instead, he put away the bottle and continued to listen to Adele's story.
"I came here this time because of Teacher...Xie Lun's matter."
Adele seemed to be lost in some memories and began to pour out the depression in her heart.
The sisters Adele and Julis grew up in a church orphanage. Their parents abandoned them at home and disappeared without a trace. It was little Julis, who was only five years old at the time, who carried her sister and came to the door of the orphanage in the rain, saving the lives of the two.
Julis has been smart and cunning since she was a child, and she knows how to get along with others. She is a child that everyone likes. But Adele is different. She has been getting into trouble since she could crawl, and she will tear down the roof if she is not punished for three days.
When Julis reached school age, the church came to the orphanage to select people, and Julis was naturally chosen to enter the seminary.
This kind of selection process takes place every year. The most talented children are selected to enter the seminary, and those without theological talent will be sent to church schools to learn some knowledge. As for the dumbest children, the church will also send them to slightly better factories to learn some skills that will allow them to survive in the future. The church will also send people to check on the children's situation regularly.
There was no news of Julis after she entered the seminary. Without her sister's protection, the usually mischievous Adele became silent and began to try to study hard.
But no matter how hard she tried, her talent seemed to be lacking, and she was eventually selected to attend a church school.
Adele, who failed to enter the seminary, lost interest in studying and started to show off.
After failing several exams in a row, Adele was deemed "unsuitable for studying" by the nuns of the church school and was sent to a church hospital to do odd jobs.
It was at that time that she showed a great interest and talent in medicine. She could replicate the most basic bandaging techniques almost completely after watching them once.
Her talent was noticed by the pastor of the church hospital, who recommended Adele to the Redemption Medical College, which had a good relationship with the church. It was there that she met her teacher Sheron and was introduced to the Redemption Society.
After joining the Redemption Society, she also came to Ansu and finally had the opportunity to see her sister again. This made her full of gratitude to the pastor of the church hospital and Teacher Xie Lun, and she remembered their kindness.
In the following years, Adele lived a smooth life. Her extraordinary talent in medicine made her adept both in practice and theory, and helped Professor Xie Lun publish many papers.
These papers helped Sherren obtain the "Plague Doctor" potion from the Redemption Society, breaking through the reappearance ritual that had been stuck for more than 20 years, and also brought Adele into the extraordinary path of "Doctor".
Having said that, Adele took a few deep breaths and covered her face with her trembling hands.
"I... I didn't know his research... was used to spread 'infectious dehydration'... I just thought the teacher wanted to start with simple infectious diseases, reverse-engineer a specific medicine, and complete the 'plague doctor' ritual..."
When Avina heard this, she couldn't help but slowly turned around and looked at Charles with her side face.
She also saw surprise in Charles' eyes.
This dehydration...
It was actually written by Adele?
No wonder Xie Lun’s research notes only contained a few fragments of research and information on infectious diseases. It turns out that this was not developed by him?
But between the lines of his writing, he had completely regarded infectious dehydration as his own property. The intoxicated words even deceived Charles and Avina.
For some reason, Charles thought of his graduate supervisor and research dog in his previous life. Poor Adele, who had been exploited for several years without knowing it.
But the "contagious dehydration disease" that Xie Lun claimed for himself and was extremely narcissistic was just a "simple infectious disease" in Adele's eyes.
It's no wonder that Xie Lun was stuck with the "doctor" for 20 years. He probably knew that he couldn't move forward on this path, so he chose another path that harmed countless lives.
But in Xie Lun's case, even if the ceremony is successful, he will become like "Crown Guard" Nia, who is severely assimilated by the potion and changes his life form to the third level, basically cutting off the possibility of promotion again.
Adele no longer had the heartless look of the past, nor did she have the timid yet tough look of hiding behind her sister and making faces at Charles in the simulation.
She covered her face and sobbed softly. She must have been holding it in since she learned about this the night before.
Adele didn't dare tell her sister or anyone else. The shadow of being deceived by her beloved teacher and almost indirectly killing tens of thousands of people weighed heavily on her heart.
It was probably because the mumbling of the potion had too great an impact that Adele chose to find Avina, who did not belong to any organization and was a "listener", to talk to her.
Charles and Avina didn't say anything, just let Adele sit opposite them and cry.
Charles hadn't thought about what to say, and Avina was worried that as soon as she opened her mouth, Adele would be swallowed by the potion.
After seeing a few patients, Avina began to understand her own abilities.
Gradually, Adele's shoulders stopped shaking. After wiping her tears hastily, she saw the handkerchief handed to her by Avina.
"Thank you..." Adele took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears, taking a deep breath. "I feel much better after I said it out."
Seeing her open-minded look, Charles couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going later?"
She began to worry that the child might become depressed or turn himself in to seek redemption.
In this case, there is still a high probability that Adele will be identified as an accomplice.
If she turned herself in out of guilt seeking redemption, she would most likely stay in jail until her heart was broken and she was devoured by the potion.
It's all because of being too kind. If you lower your moral standards a little, many problems will be solved - this is Charles' life experience.
"I'm going to Durton Manor." Adele sniffed and said.
"Deton Manor?" Avina blinked, unable to understand the other person's train of thought.
She couldn't help but look back at Charles again, and saw the same confusion in his eyes.
Both of them were a little confused.
"I plan to use the money I save to buy the Plague Doctor potion," Adele took a deep breath and said seriously, "I want to save more people, stop more Plague Bringers, and make amends for the mistakes I made."
After Adele finished speaking, Charles and Avina couldn't help but stand in awe.
It seems that he had misunderstood her. Adele's inner tenacity and kindness were far beyond Charles's imagination.
Although he doesn't behave very seriously in the simulation, he is indeed a good person.
The guilt in her heart made her withdraw from the redemption meeting, but after crying for a while, she was ready to complete her own redemption with her own hands.
"Are you planning to go to Deton Manor now?" Avina asked.
"Yes." Adele nodded, "Let's go now."
"By the way, I'm also planning to go to Deton Manor to buy some spare materials for the 'psychologist'. Can we go together?" Avina showed a formal and faint smile on her face. At the same time, she stretched her left hand under the table and made a backhand waving gesture in the direction of Charles.
Although Adele couldn't see Avina's movements, from Charles's perspective, Avina's movements were more obvious.
Is she... planning to make Adele my third recommendation?
Understanding Avina's meaning, Charles also asked, "Deton Manor?"
"Oh, right, Charles, you haven't been to Deton Manor yet, right?" Avina pretended to be in deep thought and muttered, "But Nia and I only have two referrals..."
"I'm sorry, Charles. Just go home and read by yourself. There are still many books, enough for you to read for a few more days. Adele and I will go to Deton Manor. After all, we are short of a recommender, so you can't go." Avina sighed formally and glanced at Adele without leaving a trace.
At this time, Adele was still a little hesitant.
This Miss Charles is obviously an ordinary person. Is it really okay for her to go to Deton Manor?
But when she heard that if she didn't go, she would be sent to study for several days, Adele's memory of the days when she read books every day suddenly came to her mind.
What a hell on earth!
No, I have to save her!
"I can be Miss Charles's third recommender," Adele said, "If you don't mind, it's just a small favor."
The plan goes through!
"Okay, thank you, Adele." Avina instantly put away her formal smile, stood up and turned to look at Charles, "Let's go home and get the money."
"Ms. Adele, let's go home to get some money. Can you wait here for a while?" Avina looked at Adele again.
"Uh...yeah, no problem." Adele nodded. She wasn't in such a hurry.
Adele vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was.
After Avina took Charles to the carriage, Charles couldn't help but say, "If I talk to her directly, she will agree, right?"
"Wouldn't she be curious about why you went there?" Avina tilted her head slightly, seeming to be quite satisfied with her actions.
This feeling of being in tune with Charles made her feel happy.
"Okay." Charles nodded, then asked, "I want to ask, how much is my share?"
"I've already calculated it for you." Avina reached out and took out a shorthand notebook from her pocket, opened one of the pages, and handed it to Charles.
Charles took the shorthand book and looked at it, while Avina explained.
"Generally speaking, a first-level potion without the ritual replay process costs around 800 Soviet pounds. Due to the scarcity of the 'Avenger' potion, the price can be increased by 50 pounds. However, you can't sell the entire bottle."
"I'll send it to someone I know and ask her to turn the potion back into ingredients and sell them. But the price will be much lower, probably around 500 Soviet pounds, because no one else can make the potion without the formula."
"After deducting the 100 pounds for protecting your sister and arranging a job, you will get 400 pounds."
While Avina was speaking, Charles was looking at the shorthand book and couldn't take his eyes off it.
"As for Xie Lun, the main ingredients for the second-level 'Plague Bringer' can be sold for around 1150 pounds. The price of this kind of reproduction ritual, which is more inhumane, is lower because the success rate is lower and few people dare to buy it. As for the complete third-level potion 'Source of Chaos', excluding the ritual and notes, the price fluctuates around 6000 pounds."
"After deducting my 400% and adding the Soviet pounds, you can get a total of..."
Before Avina could speak, Charles had already read out the number.
"5405 Soviet pounds..." Charles felt a little difficult to breathe. It was the first time she felt that this number was so dazzling.
If, as Avina said, the price of a first-level potion is around 800 Soviet pounds...
She could buy six bottles at once, and still have more!
You know, the purchasing power of the Soviet pound is very high, but it is directly linked to gold!
Charles was dazzled by the sudden wealth he gained.
So much money...what to do...
Buy a house...
As soon as the thought came to mind, Charles put it behind him.
I'm used to being poor, and my mind hasn't come to its senses yet.
This money can only be used to improve your own strength, and your own strength is your capital.
"Although this money is only enough to buy a small house with a garden of 3000 square feet in Ansu, it is enough to buy first- and second-level magic potions." Avina said in a flat tone.
A 3000 square foot villa with a garden costs 5000 pounds... about 300 square meters...
Compared to Avina's big house, it was indeed a small house, but for Ciel, it was something she would never have dared to dream of a few days ago.
These capitalists are really rich! They can't earn as much as robbing extraordinary people!
