When the Honey Badger made her way to the 22nd Circle, she was accompanied by the Papal Guards.
When she left, she had quietly turned into a middle-aged and elderly man with a serious face.
He has two white mustaches and short gray-white curly hair. Wearing a star-style housekeeper uniform, he quietly followed a young girl with long black hair and a petite figure.
Bayard cannot appear from the Theocracy out of thin air, so Aiwass needs to enter Star Antimony first as "an identity other than Aiwass and Bayard". So she removed her disguise and revealed her true face.
Aiwass also never expected that... the first material he mobilized after becoming the pope was to purchase the most expensive elf-style white dress for his trumpet.
The two of them walked all the way to the first circle, and there was silence all the way.
The honey badger didn’t ask, and Aiwass—or Miss Aleister just calmly hugged the crow, sat in the public transportation facility that circulated like an underground subway, and watched. The surrounding scenery rotates rapidly.
Until they entered the port area - the noisy noises coming from the goblins instantly made the stagnant space flow:
"Visitors must read the Theocracy's Passbook Prepare! Only six gold coins or eight white crowns!”
“Orthodox handmade elf clothing—don’t you bring a gift when you leave? There are also elf-style handmade silver jewelry!” >
"A collection of news newspapers from the last three days! From six countries, a total of thirty-six daily newspapers! You can know the news from all over the world in the Theocracy!"
"Snake food! Handmade dates and iced sherbet! The black tea in perfect condition is sold at a cheap price!"
Aleister ignored the goblin vendor selling elf clothing to him and turned around slightly.
When she tilted her head, the honey badger behind her had already bowed slightly and respectfully, listening attentively to the "elder lady"'s order:
"Go and give it." I'll buy a newspaper... and some sherbet by the way."
The honey badger's expression did not change at all when he heard this order.
The butler just said tactfully: "These sherbets need to be added with wine, you..."
As a butler, it is impossible for Honey Badger to directly ask his eldest lady " Can you drink?” So she opted for a smarter reminder.
After all, wine is the product of the path of love. Whether it is the host of the banquet, the eternal self, or the Xuetiansi, the rituals are all related to wine.
Greed, excitement, hunger, drunkenness, estrus... After entering these "strong lust" states, the pupils will become scarlet uncontrollably - this is also the hidden secret of the Eagle Eye Organization The Moonchild's main means of being in the crowd.
"——Nonsense."
Aleister just sneered and raised his head like a proud little girl: "I just want to drink! Will you give it to me?" I’ll buy it!”
But she did not deny that she would get drunk, nor did she say anything like "I can't get drunk."
Now the honey badger understands.
What Aleister means is that even she cannot suppress the characteristics of the Moon Child after drinking, but she still has to drink. The purpose is to become a child of the moon in public.
"...Yes."
So the honey badger directly obeyed the order and went to buy newspapers and sherbet.
While Aleister was waiting for her to come back, she was suddenly bumped lightly by a gray-haired child behind her.
She was about to glance at that person when her sight was cut off by a sudden surge of people.
Feeling the amethyst necklace hanging around her neck disappear, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly, but did not act immediately.
That necklace is not an extraordinary item, it is just an ordinary piece of jewelry.
Jewelry made by masters of art can in most cases become extraordinary objects because it is imbued with the power of the maker’s path to beauty. And as long as you create a sufficiently beautiful creation, you can also get feedback from the power of the path. It is difficult for a true jewelry master not to become a transcendent.
Therefore, whether jewelry is an extraordinary item can often be judged from the simplest "whether it looks good or not."
It is beautiful enough, and the gems and gold and silver may even be real, but it does not have extraordinary powers. There is only one explanation for this, and that is that the jewelry itself is an imitation.
There are some noble ladies who are not extraordinary people, and they will buy jewelry that is as beautiful as extraordinary jewelry, but they have no attributes... similar to the so-called "skin". This kind of jewelry will be safer if it looks good enough... because truly extraordinary jewelry can easily lead to robbery by wild extraordinary people.
There are a lot of this kind of jewelry in the Theocracy’s warehouses.
Because those goblins like to sell this kind of "high imitation" jewelry.
If they are sold at the price of imitations, the Theocracy will not care; but if someone tries to sell them as genuine - that is, as extraordinary items, then the market supervisor Someone will be sent to confiscate them.
The irony is that those who are caught are usually not goblins, but humans who purchase goods in bulk from goblins.
When Aleister left, the small suitcase that Honey Badger carried for her was filled with the highest-grade imitation jewelry—even though it was an imitation, it was also genuine. jewelry. They can be sold for a pretty scary price, and this is what Aleister uses for his Star Antimony activities.
The reason Aleister allowed the little thief to succeed was because, as a child of the moon, she could smell the other person's scent keenly - a very faint, but particularly identifiable irritation. odor.
——That’s the smell of formalin, the tissue preservation fluid that Star Antimony’s necromancers come into contact with the most.
BodyThe smell on the boat has not dissipated, which means that the other party has not been in the Theocracy for a long time; and he is walking towards the port with the suitcase in hand, which means that he will board the ship soon; and now there is only one ferry waiting...
In other words, they will meet on the ship soon.
A good entry point.
The corners of Aleister's mouth raised slightly, but at this time, the honey badger had silently walked behind her.
"The newspaper is quite expensive," Honey Badger said, while handing the newspaper that came with a black leather file bag to Aleister, "Forty star antimony gold coins-this price You can buy four hundred newspapers in Star Antimony, and even more than eight hundred in Iris... Selling things in the Theocracy is really a huge profit."
"Take this, sherbet. "Bring it."
Aleister made a clear voice.
"...Now?"
"Of course."
After Aleister said that, he changed the document package into sherbet—— It was a drink popular among lizardmen and snakemen, an alchemical juice imitated in desert areas where there were no fruits.
Roughly speaking, it is a fruity champagne. It is formulated with flavors, condiments, alcohol and sparkling water, and comes with ice cubes.
In modern terms, it is "pure technology, without any natural ingredients"... In this era, this kind of drink involving alchemical products is actually better than pure natural juice. Much more expensive.
After taking a sip of the Snakeman brand handmade sherbet that reminded Aiwass of modern carbonated drinks, Aleister showed an obvious look of pleasure on his face.
"Let's go."
Aleister said briskly.
