Chapter 82 Hainason Vancent
"I want a radiant stone."
Xia Er glanced at the list and selected an extraordinary material that was somewhat useful.
"450 pounds."
The burly old man quoted a price.
"400 pounds should be about right."
"I don't really need it."
Although Congressman Maynard paid the bill, he didn't necessarily have to buy it here.
"We don't necessarily have to sell."
The burly old man took another sip of sweet wine. They weren't really selling it; they were just hanging it up for fun.
What if some fool from the Church of the Eternal Sun tries to buy it from them?
"understand."
Chael nodded and turned to leave.
"400 pounds, and the item is yours."
The old man called out to Xia Er, who was about to leave. Although they usually didn't sell, they couldn't keep refusing to sell forever.
Chael completed the transaction using something resembling a check.
He looked at the old man with a strange expression. "You're really quick-witted."
He grabbed his things, left the trading room, and planned to take Admiral away from the underground market.
It was by chance that Xia'er's spirituality was touched again, and even Admisol, who was standing next to her, could feel it.
They turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man with brown hair and obvious dark circles under his eyes looking in their direction, followed by a young girl with burgundy hair.
Xia Er could sense that this man's aura was somewhat...wicked...and somewhat seductive.
This is a message from the cryptic person.
What a coincidence...
Admisor was a little scared, but he was also afraid of Shael. This time he didn't make a fuss, but just huddled behind Shael.
"Admiral, it seems you're quite famous; so many people know you."
Xia'er smiled, pretending not to recognize that the person opposite her was a follower of the true creator, and shifted the blame to the innocent monster behind her.
He led Admisor toward the other's location. Mr. "Monster" remained silent, shrinking completely behind Shael.
"Gentlemen, is there anything I can help you with?"
Heinz Vancent's attitude warmed up a bit after he confirmed that Chael looked good.
"This amulet looks really nice. Where did you buy it?"
Xia Er pretended not to sense the 'corruption' aura emanating from the other party, and her gaze naturally moved to the amulet worn by the little girl with long wine-red hair.
After a moment's thought, he guessed the girl's identity.
Selena Wood.
Melissa, Klein's sister, is a good friend.
Shouldn't she be attending technical college today?
"This was made for me by my teacher."
Selena Wood was pleased to see that someone appreciated her amulet.
She was supposed to go to school today.
However, because she rashly used the mysterious incantation she had secretly gleaned from her teacher's notes at last night's birthday party,
The attempt to claim the magic mirror almost caused a mess.
Fortunately, her good friend Elizabeth (Klein) came to her aid, preventing her friends from being harmed and avoiding any serious damage.
However, she was also frightened by her own actions, felt unwell, and struggled with the decision all night. She then asked for leave to admit her mistake to her teacher.
Heinz Vancent wasn't angry; instead, he gave her a talisman, which greatly improved her spirits. She had come with her teacher to buy some materials and formally begin studying mysticism.
By reading faces, Xia Er roughly judged that this was Heiner Vancent, who was planning to recruit you as an outer member of the Aurora Society.
"Then, could you please make me a talisman?"
"I happen to have the materials here, and the price is negotiable."
Chael smiled and looked at Heiner Vancent.
"Of course, if you're in a hurry, we can rent a room in the underground market. Making amulets requires a quiet, undisturbed environment."
"Or you can leave an address, and we can arrange to complete the transaction another day."
Heinz Vancent smiled; he actually wanted to give it away for free, but he was afraid of scaring the man away.
Chael's pupils seemed to gleam with anticipation as she spoke to her beloved Third-Class Merit Citation recipient:
"I will cover the room rent and material costs, and I will also provide a considerable reward. However, I have a request—I would like to observe the talisman-making process in person."
"The 50 list".
Hynarson Vancent estimated Chael's worth and quoted a price he could absolutely accept.
"make a deal."
"Admiral, find somewhere to lie down for a while, I'll be right back."
Xia'er readily paid the money, said something to the "monster" behind her who had his head down, and then rented a separate room with Heiner and Selena.
Selena looked at Chael and Admisor with a strange expression; the way these two gentlemen interacted was rather odd.
Judging from their clothing, the two shouldn't be interacting.
She didn't ask any questions or question Hainason's decision, and went with the two men to rent a temporary room.
She had intended to help Heinz with his work, but the man beside her started talking to her.
"Let me introduce myself, Bennett Maynard, a clergyman of the Church of the Night."
"May I have the honor of knowing your name?"
"Selena Wood".
Upon hearing the sign for the Church of the Night, Selena also said her name, though her voice was soft.
It seems they didn't want to disturb Hainasen, who was preparing for a mysterious ceremony.
"Your parents must also be believers in the goddess."
"In Tingen, the Church of Selena of the Night is the most famous building."
"Selena was also a saint during the founding of the church."
While watching Heinersen Vancent set up the sacrificial ceremony, Chael chatted with the girl beside him.
Selena Wood was carefully observing Heinzon's setup for the ceremony, but Xia Er's comparison of her to the church's former saints made it difficult for the little girl to fully concentrate.
"Our whole family are believers in the goddess."
She realized she had been overthinking things; the gentleman was probably just interested in the occult and not trying to learn anything from her. So she replied quietly.
"May I see your amulet?"
Over there, Heiner was already whispering something: "Great Creator, Your devout follower..." Meanwhile, Xia'er was still trying to trick the little girl out of her amulet.
"Of course, the amulets made by Teacher Hainasen are very good."
Selena took off her amulet and handed it to Chael, whom she considered a fellow occultist.
This is actually a legitimate amulet?
Xia Er took it and examined it, discovering that it actually worked.
Although it is an item made in prayer to the true Creator, its function is truly that of a talisman. However, if worn for a long time, it is easy to unconsciously convert to the faith of the true Creator. This small side effect makes it a fine product in all other aspects.
"Great Creator, Your devout follower, Heinz Vancent, beseeches Your favor...:"
As Hainasen whispered a prayer, filthy, evil voices appeared in his ears. Mysterious patterns lit up on the amulet in his hand, and with a bang, thick black energy began to spread from the center of Hainasen's exploded head.
