This startled Gao Gu and he was about to panic, then he remembered that he had just had breakfast.
On his way upstairs, Dunn's voice rang again, "Wait!"
Gao Gu was honestly taken aback by Dunn's behavior, "What else?"
"I Forgot to mention, today is Wednesday, the laundry maid is coming to collect the dirty laundry for washing. Remember to put the clothes that you need washed on the laundry basket.", Dunn instructed while touching his chin.
"Okay.", Hidal nodded in affirmation, then hurriedly went upstairs and returned to his room, closed the door, and began to change his clothes.
After he changed his clothes, he went on to get the clothes that needed to be washed. Opening the door to exit the room, he was startled again.
Dunn was standing outside the door of his room with a serious face at some point!
Seeing that Gao Gu was taken aback by himself, Dunn coughed a little awkwardly and said, "Hidal, I just remembered something again."
Hearing Dunn's words, Gao Gu resisted the urge to face-palm. It seems that the description of Dunn's forgetfulness in the novel is really not an exaggeration after all, so he nodded to show his understanding.
Seeing that Gao Gu was not angry, Dunn smiled and said, "That is, Daly will return to Tingen from Enmat Harbor the day after tomorrow, and I want to invite her to our house as a guest, so I want to ask for your consent."
'Daly?'
Of course Gao Gu knew who she was. She and Dunn liked each other but they didn't dare to admit it for their own reasons. In the end, Dunn's death became her biggest regret such that she decided to avenge him by dying together with Ince Zangwill.
'Why would Dunn need my permission for inviting Daly over?'
Gao Gu couldn't figure it out, but suddenly Hidal's memory flashed and Gao Gu understood why.
It turned out that before Daly became a Beyonder, her private life was very chaotic. Several of the boyfriends she had gone out with were classmates of Hidal, so he had a very bad impression of Daly. Later, Daly became Dunn's colleague. Then after some time, Dunn brought Daly to the house as a guest before. Hidal saw that both of them liked each other if only a little, so the whole situation did not give Daly a good face.
Gao Gu understood why. It's because Hidal felt that Daly was not worthy of Dunn.
After figuring out the cause Dunn's odd behavior, I saw the worried expression on Dunn's face.
At this time, of course Gao Gu would not object to Daly and Dunn being together. If however he were to show a drastic change in attitude compared to Hidal regarding this matter, it may make Dunn feel that something is wrong.
Especially when something like that happened last night.
Gao Gu deliberately pondered for more than twenty seconds, and then slowly said, "Dunn, are you aware of how Daly's life style used to be?"
Dunn's expression stiffened for a moment, then he gave a wry smile and nodded, but then he answered, "That's just her past. Hidal, people always change, isn't this true especially for young people like you?"
Gao Gu thought again for a long time and finally nodded slowly as he looked into Dunn's eyes, "If this is how you truly feel, then Dunn, I respect your choice, maybe I was being too narrow minded before."
Dunn seeing that Hidal was a little relaxed took this opportunity to quickly say, "I have been Daly's colleague for a while now, I know how she used to be and I have seen her change. In the words of Emperor Roselle, 'losing her way, she found herself' ."
Gao Gu blinked in surprise, Huang Tao really reduced some obstacles for him and made communication with the people in this world easier... (Huang Tao was Roselle's name before reincarnating)
Hearing what Dunn said, Gao Gu apologetically said, "Okay, maybe it's my stereotype, so as an apology, I'll cook for the day after tomorrow's occasion."
Hearing Gao Gu's words, Dunn finally let go of his dangling heart and said with a sincere smile, "That's really good Hidal. I think Daly will be very happy to hear it! I'll go and inform her in the afternoon, okay?"
Hidal replied, "It's all right, just do as you see fit."
Dunn turned and walked towards his room and it was obvious that he was very happy at this time but he pretended to be very mature and calm.
Seeing Dunn's mood at this time, Gao Gu quickly said, "I have something that is very important that I must do and may require a lot of money!"
Dunn didn't care at all, "If you don't have enough money, just go to the bank to withdraw it. That money is meant for such after all."
Dunn then went into his room, closed the door behind him and after he calmed down, he realized something was wrong, "Hidal said he would cook the day after tomorrow, I don't remember him cooking at all, not even once!"
At this time, Gao Gu had already gone out, on his way to the Tingen branch of Backlund Bank.
"I didn't expect the captain to be so interesting.", Thinking of Dunn's apprehension when he was waiting for his answer just now and the fact that he was obviously happy but pretended to be mature and calm after getting the answer, I wanted to laugh a little, because this side of him was never mentioned in the book.
'From now on my name will be Hidal!'
......
Hidal soon arrived at the bank.
The Tingen branch of the Backlund Bank is in the North District.
He quickly withdrew the money, and just to be safe, Hidal withdrew a total of five hundred pounds. He then enquired about the remaining balance in the bank account, the staff replied with a smile, "You still have a total of 5 328 pounds 15 soli and 8 pence available in your bank account now!"
After receiving the answer, Hidal walked out of the bank satisfied, and then relying on the memory in his brain, came to the bus stop. (what should I replace 'bus stop' with? Do they even have bus stops in the LOTM verse?)
Soon a stagecoach came over, and after paying four pence, Hidal got on and found a seat. As the stagecoach was in motion, he found that it was not bumpy but surprisingly stable. He guessed that it was because of the ground rails.
'Evil Dragon Bar' is in the Docklands, and Docklands often implies chaos which Hidal realized a little late when he got out of the carriage.
'Be careful and it should be fine!'
Hidal ignored the gazes around him and walked straight to the Evil Dragon Bar diagonally opposite the carriage station. As soon as he got close, he could hear the excited shouts inside even through the heavy door.
Ignoring the guards at the entrance of the bar, Hidal entered the bar sideways and the smell of alcohol came out instantly, which made him frown.
At the center of the bar there is a boxing ring. There are two boxers with red tops on the ring, but one is laying on the floor while the other is holding his hands high in victory, and a large group of people are cheering. The shouts he had heard from outside the door were from them.
Hidal ignored this and entered the billiards room at the back according to his memory. There were two people playing billiards. Hidal walked towards the secret door but was immediately stopped by one of them.
"Who introduced you here?", The man who stopped him asked blankly. If he wants to enter the underground trading market, he must be introduced by an acquaintance. If they come more often in the future, they will not stop him if they have an impression.
Hidal had expected this and calmly replied, "Old Neil."
Hearing Hidal's answer, the two of them glanced at him and seemed to be a little unconvinced but still got out of his way and let him pass.
After Hidal passed through the secret door and walked through several rooms in a row, his eyes suddenly opened wide as he came to a place with a large area.
There are people setting up stalls with bottles and jars with some exotic flowers and plants in them. Some pedestrians walk between them, scanning or negotiating prices with the stall owners.
Hidal, like other pedestrians walked among the stalls recalling the potion formula for Priest and skimming for the ingredients on the stalls.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "God is here... Hahaha... Last night, God descended!"
Hidal turned his head to look and he saw a pale young man, wearing a worn linen shirt and blue-gray trousers unique to the working class. Hidal glanced at the eyes of the young man that seemed to glowed with a hint madness.
'Is this the 'Monster'? '
Hidal couldn't remember the youth's name.
The' Monster' looked at Hidal with excitement, pointed at him and shouted frantically to the people around him, "God is coming! God is coming..."
The people around seemed to take it easy and paid him no mind. Hidal however, was shocked. He suddenly remembered that the Fate Pathway was a bit special. It's as if they could see the Sefirot.
At this time, someone next to him said to Hidal, "Don't pay attention to him, his name is Ademisaul, he is a madman, a monster, and he often talks nonsense. Although I don't know why the moon became so big and white last night, nothing happened, praise goddess!"
After speaking, the man drew a circle on his chest, and he seemed to be a believer of the Evernight goddess.
Hidal remembered that the original owner was also a believer of the Evernight goddess, so he also drew a circle on his chest, "Praise the goddess!"
Then he nodded to the man to express his gratitude and ignored Ademisaul. He then began to actually purchase the ingredients in the formula. It didn't take long before he bought all the auxiliary materials, but in order to cover his tracks and not expose himself, he also bought some other useless materials that would cost a few pounds at best.
"The next step is to purchase the main ingredients of which are Beyonder materials."
Hidal walked to one of the two buildings at the end of the trading market.
