Chapter 225 – Old Friends and Letters
"You can recognize me like this?" Kagome muttered, tossing something in her hand to Saul.
It wasn't surprising that Kori was surprised; she was now in full plate armor and wore a mask as thin as gold leaf over her face, revealing only a corner of her mouth.
And her lips were still gold-red.
Aside from a red ponytail that burrowed out of her helmet, there was nothing familiar to be found in the press.
Saul caught the object Korrie threw at him and opened it instantly, "Oh? What's this? Honey?"
"Gum tree wax. You had said some of the normal ingredients are hard to keep fresh for long periods of time, but it's too much of a waste with sorcery, I just happened to see a jar of this from some human collector out there, look into it, it might be useful."
Saul's eyes lit up immediately, "Not bad, it's usually useful for experiments. But I came back in a hurry from this outing, I didn't bring anything good for you."
Keri skimmed her mouth, "Owe ... your hands what's going on? Going out and losing your meat?"
"Melted, didn't lose it, brought it back in a bag."
Thor tells Korie about his adventures in the Valley of the Drooping Hand with Senior Byron.
After listening, Kerri made a disgusted face, "I don't want to go out adventuring with you in the future, too unlucky."
"Do you have the nerve to talk about me? I see you ...," Saul said disdainfully, he looked Korie up and down for a few moments, "I see that you're in no small amount of trouble."
Kori looked down and patted her breastplate with her metal gloved hand, the thick armor clattering with a crisp metallic sound.
"This is my experiment!" She said with a stiff upper lip, "But there was a little accident."
After a moment's thought, Kagome took the mask off her face.
Her face was actually a fine reflective gold color like her lips, and her skin muscles moved a little stiffly.
"The new sorcery I've been researching has clashed with the potion I've been taking lately, and now it keeps oozing a toxic metal from the pores of my skin."
Sol frowned, "It's worse than I thought, do you need help?"
Kori rolled her eyes, "You're in solitary confinement, you should be concerned about yourself. Genius as I am, can't I solve this little problem? I'm just interested in this poisonous metal and plan to collect a little more before I solve it!"
Saul gave a white-boned thumbs up to Keri, "You're bull!"
Keri immediately returned, "You're also bull!"
In private, Saul would occasionally pop up with a word or two he hadn't heard before, and Korie couldn't tell if it was a compliment or a curse. So she usually chose to return the compliment before figuring out the true connotation of the words.
"How long are you going to be locked up for anyway? I'm still trying to find you to apply for a joint experimental project together."
Saul looked back at the warehouse door behind him, "Well ... soon, the initial framework has been run through, the rest is just arranging the combinations and trying them out one by one, I should be able to finish it within a month ... mainly depending on whether I'm lucky or not ."
The corner of Keri's mouth twitched twice, "Just your luck, can you still watch?"
However, Keri immediately thought that she was also quite unlucky recently, and hurriedly started the business before Sol counterattacked, "By the way, I came to pick up the materials."
With great difficulty, she pulled out a roll of paper from the small pocket hanging from her armor's belt, to unroll it for Sol.
Saul looked at Kori's hand, which was so stiff it was on the verge of tying itself in knots, and shook his head, offering to take the slip of paper and open it.
The content of the note was very simple, only two words were written, "Done".
Saul instantly recognized that it was exactly the words he had just written on the paper with his summoning pen.
"You? You're the one in charge of the transportation mission? Isn't this kind of physical work your least favorite?" But he immediately responded, "I see, in your current state, you can only walk two steps. If you went to do experiments or practice sorcery, you'd probably blow yourself up!"
Korie suddenly had a twisted face and gritted her teeth, raising her hand and slowly clenching it into a fist in front of Saul, "Get to work, if you delay my work, you'll pay for it with credits!"
Saul turned to enter the stockroom, shaking his head and sighing, "I wonder who forgot about what they were working on first."
Hearing Kori behind him, she jumped in anger, but the plate armor around her was too heavy to jump.
Since the materials were all ready, Saul went in and returned within a short while.
When he pushed the cart out, the door was completely open, and Korie's eyes turned around at the warehouse entrance, suddenly fixing on a place.
"What's Billy doing in there? No, is that Bill? He looks a little strange."
By now Saul had carted out and the doors closed a little behind him, Bill's face disappearing behind the gap.
"It's Bill." Saul handed the cart in his hand to Kori, "How do you know him?"
Kori lifted her hand to take the cart and her armor began to rattle.
"He is also a student of Mentor Guido. I've met him twice and was impressed… tsk, is he dead?"
"Hmm. What I just told you, the senior who led me to my death is him."
"Ah, that's a big relief." Kori turned the cart around, "By the way, he has a brother named Billy who is even more powerful than him." Saul had already heard of the man, and had met him when he spiritually traveled to the Eastern Tower not too long ago. Only at that time he wasn't in the best of spirits and his impression wasn't very clear.
"You're afraid he'll take revenge on me?"
"No, don't worry, he's too busy to care about anything but experimental studies, cold and indifferent like a prop." Kori shrugged her shoulders and the armor banged again, "But it's better to stay away if you can."
"I'm leaving." Kagome waved a hand.
Thor was about to say goodbye when he saw Kori snap her head.
"Bam…"
The sound was so loud it made a slight echo in the hallway.
"Why do you have to do that?" Sol looked at Kori in surprise.
"Almost forgot something." Kori began to dig hard for something again, finally pulling a thick envelope out of another pocket.
"Someone asked my brother to hand me a letter to give to you when I return to the tower."
Saul took it suspiciously.
Who would write to him?
"I think it's your family, isn't it? I didn't hear you mention it before, and I thought you didn't have any family."
Saul took the envelope and uncovered the fire paint on it that was nothing short of magnificent ...
It turned out that there was another white envelope inside.
The white envelope was not sealed with fire paint.
Saul turned the letter to the back and saw the four words on it, immediately widening his eyes and the smile on his face disappeared abruptly.
"Opened by my brother himself."
Looking at Saul's expression that wasn't quite right, Korrie let go of the cart and walked over, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? I checked, there is no magic and spiritual power attached, also specially went to the registration room to spend money to cut off the void connection ... There won't be anything bad on it, right?"
Saul looked at those four words, there was only one person in this world who had ever called him his brother.
"Kori, what kind of person handed this letter to you?"
"My brother said that a friend he knew asked him to bring the letter. They knew you and told exactly what you looked like and called themselves your family ..." Kori said more and more carefully, for a moment her mind flashed back to the many doggerel in her own family.
"Should we report this to Mentor Kaz?"
"I'm afraid it won't work, Mentor Kaz ...."
Moreover, Saul did not want to report this matter immediately for the time being, he needed to determine the identity and purpose of the letter writer.
"Kori, does anyone else know about the letter you brought to me?"
Korie shook her head, her red ponytail whipping and whipping, "I didn't tell anyone else, and the people in the registration room thought it was something I brought back to check myself."
Korie was smart enough to pick up on Sol's meaning immediately.
"Okay, I'll take it then, thank you."
Korie carefully watched Saul's face, "If you're really in trouble, just throw it away."
Sol, however, smiled and shook his head.
Witnessing Korie's difficult cart departure, Saul pushed open the door and returned to the second warehouse.
He walked all the way to the lab table and sat down, continuing to open the letter.
Saul didn't do any more checking, if the letter was really sent to him by Kismet, he certainly couldn't check the hidden means on it.
Anyway, the diary had no warning.
The opening of the envelope was not sealed, and there really wasn't any abnormal fluctuation at a glance.
Perhaps Kismet left the envelope opening unsealed for this very reason.
It was the way he said to Saul, "Look, I haven't done anything oh, don't you dare look?"
I was supposed to add more last night, but I'm stuck on Kavanagh until now ...
