章節 18: Chapter 18:The pain of being poor
After a while and seeing that no more participants arrived, Mr. Eye of Wisdom got up from his seat.
"Seeing that our friends couldn't make it, we can't wait any longer so the party can start."
As soon as he finished saying that, the woman from the last time quickly got up from her seat.
"Is the gentleman with the Briber formula here?"
"Here I am, did you bring the money?"
Seeing this, the woman visibly relaxed and quickly said yes.
"Would you like Mr. Eye of Wisdom to verify the formula?"
"Yes please"
Seeing this, Mr. Eye of Wisdom couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
'The party is just starting and I already have to verify something.'
Adryan wrote the formula on a note by folding it and placing it on a worker's tray. The worker went to Mr. Eye of Wisdom and placed him next to him.
He took the same ring out of the silver container again and placed it on her left hand, then placed it on top of the note.
"Valid" as soon as he said that he took off and put the ring back in the container.
The worker quickly took the tray and brought it to the woman's side.
Seeing this, the woman quickly took out the 800 pounds and placed it on the tray and took the note with Briber's formula, and opened it to read it.
Potion Formula Sequence 7:Briber
Main ingredients:
*1 Weeping Infant Flower.
*Strange-faced Cannabis Crystal.
Supplementary ingredients:
*5 drops of golden Jimsonweed juice.
*5 drops of black Jimsonweed juice.
*4 drops of Fantasy Grass essential oil.
*80 ml of red wine.
When the woman read the formula, the formula could barely contain herself from humming with happiness.
Storing the formula in her coat, the woman stood up again.
"I am selling 2 extraordinary objects."
"The first one is a revolver: its abilities are that while you carry it, you will be able to move in the shadows without being detected and you will make your steps extremely light, if a shot from this revolver hits a target it will attract all the hatred of people within a radius of 10 meters.
-The negative effects are that the wielder will also be affected by the radius and as long as one has the weapon on His body, the wielder will release an instigating aura that will make people around them more aggressive. -The sealing method is to keep it in a silver container filled with cow's milk."
"The second one is a glove and their abilities are: the user can transform a paper figure into themselves and swap places with the figure. It can not only block a fatal blow but also weaken the damage from Hexes and the second ability is Flame Jump the user could phase through a fire spark that they had left behind and any flame that existed within 5 meters.
-The negatives are that the wearer will always be looking for praise from an audience and if they don't get it in a long period of time the wearer will lose control also if it is worn for more than 20 minutes the user will have a hard time taking it off and if you wear it for more than 30 minutes, the only way to remove it is to break the bones of the hand, this will make the glove come off on its own.
-The sealing method is that every 3 hours you have to clap and praise the glove saying: "What a wonderful show" for 10 minutes this will make the glove go into a state of joy and sleep"
"The revolver costs 1,000 pounds and the glove costs 2,000 pounds. Is anyone interested?"
As soon as she said that, the people who could afford to buy such an object began bidding like crazy trying to get the glove.
"2,100 for the glove"
"2,150 pounds!!"
"2,200!!"
In the end, the glove went to a masked man for 3,400 pounds and the revolver went to a woman for 1,700 pounds.
As the price of the glove went up it was not a surprise to anyone due to the abilities of the glove even the negative effects were quite controllable.
Even Adryan wanted to buy it but he was too poor...
After that, a man got up and requested the purchase of Sherift's formula but no one had it.
Seeing this, Adryan thought about whether to tell him that in order to find that formula he would have to go with MI9 but he decided to keep it to himself, he didn't gain anything by telling him and most likely he wouldn't listen to him.
After an hour of trading that was not as intense as that of the gloves and the revolver, Mr. Eye of Wisdom rang the bell and marked the end of the meeting.
The first to leave was the woman who sold the extraordinary items.
The second was the one who bought the glove.
The third was the one that bought the revolver.
Then it was more random until it was Adryan's turn and he was able to leave the party at 7:30 p.m.
As he made his way to Bravehearts Bar, Adryan weighed up his achievements: he managed to get the £800, and now he had the money to buy the formula from Mr. Grievius.
You'd think why didn't he try to buy the formula at Mr. A's party and all Adryan would say is fuck 'em.
There are a lot of witches around that party and Adryan didn't want to have the slightest contact with the party.
He would only go there to get the main 'Provoker' ingredients and he would never go there again unless he absolutely had to.
Thinking about that, he finally reached the Bravehearts Bar and entered and caught a glimpse of the corner where a petite blonde woman was sitting waiting, accompanied by a skinny man who, thanks to the senses brought on by the potion, could smell the alcohol emanating from his body.
'Seems like the day is only getting better'
With a smile, he sat down facing the two people.
"Nice to meet you both let me introduce myself. I'm Adryan"

Hello guys Author here
A quick note
What do you think of the extraordinary objects I just created?
Do you think the negative effects are fair?
Tell me what you think.
Now there are only 3 more chapters left, see you in a minute.
章節 19: Chapter 19:Making a Deal
Seeing the red-haired man in front of her, Xio couldn't help but straighten her back even more to appear taller.
"My informant told me that you were looking for me so I came to see the reason for it"
'Despite her size, Miss Xio seriously has a majestic and dignified aura without a doubt a worthy member of Mr. Fool's club'
Before answering Xio, Adryan turned to look at the man to the side.
"You have completed my commission and as promised here is your pay"
Giving the 30 pounds to the man, he said goodbye to Xio and went to the bar to buy something to drink.
Being just the two of them now Adryan could talk more calmly.
"I hope you can forgive the inconvenience I caused you so that you can meet with me but I believe that we can benefit from each other"
"I can't see what you have to offer that can benefit me Mr. Adryan"
"That's because I haven't shown what I can offer yet, Miss Xio"
"In fact, this deal can bring you great benefits"
"Tell me, Miss Xio, do you know anything about people with abilities beyond understandable?"
This made Xio visibly tense and seeing this Adryan decided to keep pulling.
"I am one of those extraordinary people and I am looking to attend an extraordinary party and I have a suspicion that you Miss Xio can help me with that"
"I'm not sure what you're talking about Mr. Adryan"
"Please miss Xio you do little to hide the fact that you are also an extraordinary one."
When Adryan said this, he saw how Xio took out a Triangle Sword from his waist.
"Please, Miss Xio, I'm not looking for trouble, the only thing I want is to make a deal with you"
"My patience is running out Mr. Adryan and you better speak fast"
"In exchange for you taking me to an extraordinary party, I can offer you several things:Money, ancient history, information about the ravings during the full moon, and information about beyonders"
When he said all that, Adryan saw that he had captured all of Xio's attention.
"What kind of information do you have about the ravings during the full moon?"
'Bingo'-was what Adryan thought and quickly responded.
"I have a fair amount on it but sadly I don't think I have it all, are you still interested in this information?"
"Very interested tell me what you know"
"Perfect then pay attention because I will only say this once"
"Some special beyonders will hear during the full moon a raving that will make them lose control little by little until they can't take it anymore and they lose control becoming monsters or dying instantly."
When Adryan said this he saw how Xio turned pale and she put her sword away and came closer to whisper to him.
"Do you have any more information on this?"
"Yes, I have it, but I'll only give it to you after you take me to the extraordinary party"
This caused Xio to stay quiet and think about what to do and Adryan had no problem waiting.
After a few minutes Xio finally spoke.
"If you're willing to wait until Friday next week I can take you to the party. Is that a good deal?"
"Sounds pretty good to me Miss Xio but how can I get in touch with you to find out where to meet?"
"I will come to pick you up here on Friday of next week at 2:00 p.m. You have to bring something to cover your body and a mask"
"I think it's perfect Miss Xio it's a pleasure doing business with you"
Xio didn't care much for what Adryan said as she quickly got on a public carriage and speedily headed home.
By forcefully entering her house this caused a woman who was sleeping on the sofa with a notebook on her chest to suddenly wake up sending her little book flying.
Xio didn't care much about that and stood in front of her best friend.
"What happened Xio if it's because of the book I promise I'm working on it I just need some inspiration" the woman tried to excuse herself she has slightly curly brown hair and pale blue eyes.
But Xio didn't give a shit about the book at this moment.
"When were you going to tell me"-the fury that drip from that voice made the blue eye woman scared.
"Eh Xio I don't know what you're talking about why don't you calm down and we'll have some tea while we chat" while saying this the girl tried to touch her friend's hand but Xio pushed her away and then grabbed her shoulders while she had tears in her eyes.
"When you were going to tell me that those ravings were killing you, did you want me to find you turned into a monster or a mass of meat on the floor?"
As she said this, Xio began to squeeze her friend's shoulders hard, causing her to let out a groan of pain.
"Calm down Xio, I already told you that those are not a problem for me, I can tolerate them"-The girl tried to save the situation but Xio had already completely lost patience.
"DO NOT LIE TO ME FORS TELL ME THE TRUTH"
"...."-Fors just lowered her head and said nothing.
"No....no..nonono please tell me it's not true"-said Xio while shaking Fors.
"...."-but she was silent and tears began to fall from her eyes falling on the floor.
"O Evernight" -Xio cried harder while hugging Fors who kept looking at the floor.
"How did you find out about this, I made sure you couldn't notice anything"-was what Fors murmured in a low voice while being hugged by Xio.
This caused Xio to react and remember where she heard the information from and a small light of hope lit up in her heart.
Separating from Fors,Xio brought her hands to her face to lift her up so that she would look into her eyes.
Fors's face was a mess with tears streaming from his bloodshot eyes.
"A man told me about the ravings of the full moon and he told me that if I took him to Mr. A's party he would give me more information, maybe he has a way to solve this."
This caused Fors to widen his eyes in shock and as he grabbed Xio's hands she began to cry harder as she tried to open her mouth to speak.
"So-so I have hope?"
"Only that man knows, so please, Fors, don't hide things like this from me again, I ask you"
While saying this, Xio hugged Fors again who returned the hug weakly.
"I promise" she mutters slightly.
While all this was going on, Adryan was trying to cook an old recipe without knowing that what he had told Xio would have such results.
----------------‐-----------------------------------------------------------
This is my first time write something sad soooo....
The reason for writing this scene with Xio and Fors is largely because I'm tired of always reading in other stories how Xio is kept in the dark without knowing that her best friend was dying next to her room.
Xio deserves to know what was happening to her best friend so I decided to make it so she knows.
