章節 62: Chapter 62:A Curious Candle
Finally, the two of them made it to the church where Sasha would spend the next few months serving and Adryan was about to fulfill his deal with Utravsky.
Turning to look at Sasha and seeing that she nodded to him, he nodded back and they entered.
Maybe it's because it's a Monday but this time the only person inside the Church was the giant ex-pirate.
Seeing how the Father was sitting in the front row but still, he was a mountain, the redhead just motioned for Sasha to follow him in silence.
Sasha and Adryan sat in the row next to the Father so as not to disturb him and allow him to finish praying, after a while the giant opened his eyes and turned his gaze to the new guests.
Seeing this, Adryan calmly got up and made a small bow.
"I am here to fulfill our agreement Father Utravsky"
At that Sasha also got up and also bowed only this was a bit exaggerated and this made an eyebrow begin to tremble on the redhead's face.
"A pleasure to meet you Father Utravsky, I am Sasha Strauss and I will be serving with you in these months to come"
The giant only looked at her for a moment before giving a small nod before reaching a hallway and disappearing into it.
Sasha turned a little pale and hastily turned to Adryan.
"Boss, did I do something wrong?
Is he mad at me? Please tell me I'll be okay"
'Sasha if you really had pissed him off right now we'd be finding out how dangerous he was as a pirate' shaking his head, Adryan replied calmly.
"Don't worry, he's someone of few words and I'm sure he just went looking for something in the back."
"Ufff that's good..." Sasha let out a strong sigh since she entered she felt the aura of the Father and she has been very tense from the moment the giant looked at her and she was scared that she had provoked him.
Luckily that was not the case since she did not think she could defend herself or even escape...
After a while, Father Utravsky had returned and seemed to be carrying a well-folded piece of clothing in his arms, arriving in front of them, this happened to Sasha who received him somewhat alarmed.
"At the end of the hallway is the kitchen and next to it is the break room you can change there calmly and you can leave your clothes there"
"I'll be right back Father, Boss..."
When Sasha said that, she also hurriedly went down the hall to change, leaving the two men alone.
Glancing sideways at father Utravsky, Adryan couldn't help but remember the difference in height between the three of them, he was the shortest and had to raise his head to meet the Father's eyes, while Sasha was on the same path it shouldn't take long for him to have to do the same with her.
Ignorant of the redhead's thoughts, Father Utravsky calmly reached into his robe and took out a neatly folded note, and extended it towards Adryan.
"Here is the Pugilist formula"
The redhead shook his head before putting his hand in his pocket and taking a more comfortable stance.
"Father, I prefer that you give it to Sasha, after all, she is the one who will be working with you"
At this, the big man only nodded slightly before retracting his muscular arm and tucking the note back into his robes.
After that Adryan, thanks to his senses, managed to hear footsteps approaching them from the hallway where Sasha left.
The aforementioned came out wearing a brown tunic similar to that of Father Utravsky, she approached them with some nervousness while looking at the Father.
At this, the man of more than 2 meters gave a nod of approval with a small smile.
"It suits you very well young one"
An awkward smile formed on Sasha's face as she nodded to the father.
"Thank you, Father...."
Saying that the father took something else out of his tunic, this time being a strange short candle.
The outer layer of the short candle seemed to be wrapped in a layer of human skin, but there were also several bumps on it. Its wick was about the length of a finger segment and was entirely black. It was covered in tiny densely packed scale-like patterns
At this movement of the Father and the familiar candle, the corners of Adryan's mouth twitched as he tried to keep from breaking into an awkward smile.
'Obviously, he wasn't going to trust strangers, that's why he's going to use that candle to make sure Sasha complies with that part of the deal.....'
The weird and dark appearance of this candle made Sasha very uncomfortable and she sent multiple glances towards Adryan.
Sighing inwardly, Adryan looked into his father's eyes.
"Father Utravsky, would it be possible to know what this curious candle is?"
Father Utravsky nodded as he sat down with the candle in his hands.
"This candle will allow me to give you a psychological suggestion so that you fulfill your part of the deal"
"WHAT"
At the giant's words, Sasha jumped as she walked away from the candle and the Father.
Adryan could only sigh as he turned to look at the giant who didn't give importance to the blonde's reaction.
Seeing how the redhead was calm, Sasha made a stupid face as she wondered if this man had some misplaced screws in his head.
Even Father Utravsky had raised an eyebrow at the redhead, that was not the normal reaction of someone knowing that their partner was about to be hypnotized.
A small smile formed on the redhead's mouth at the gaze of the two giants.
"Sasha, don't worry, I'm sure that Father Utravsky wouldn't dare to do anything out of place in the Church of Earth Mother"
Sasha had a quivering eyebrow as she looked at the redhead as if he had grown another head...
Wasn't trading formulas with wild beyonders inside a church out of place?
"If you are still afraid I can swear in the name of Earth Mother that I will do nothing more than implant the psychological suggestion that you come here to serve for 4 months, after that you can do whatever you want."
At this Sasha could only grunt as she remembered Nathan's words about the job before reluctantly agreeing.
章節 63: Chapter 63: News about the party
A pale white flame had been out as Sasha looked around trying to note any changes.
"The suggestion has been placed and as I swore it will be lifted 4 months from now"
Hearing those words, Sasha sighed as she put her hand to her forehead to try to calm down.
There was nothing different for her during the entire short process but according to the Father the suggestion had already been placed and this feeling scared her a little.
What kind of ability is capable of doing this without the victim noticing?
Observing Sasha's state from the side, Adryan only sighed slightly as he got an idea of what was going through the woman's head...
'Beware of the Spectator...'
One would never realize that the 'Spectator' had affected them even if it was right under their nose.
Klein was one of the best examples of how dangerous and broken this path is, he was controlled and he only realized it when it was too late and even his projection was affected...
A cold sweat ran down his back so before thinking about things that would cause problems he talked to Sasha.
"Since everything is ready, I'm going to leave you so that you can work in peace. If you have a problem, you know who to call."
An awkward smile remains on Sasha's face as she squints at Father Utravsky who is guarding the candle as she answers.
"See you later boss"
Nodding and saying goodbye to the Father, Adryan left the church leaving the two giants alone.
Sasha felt her heart restless as she looked at the Father, he simply took out a rag from his robe and a well-folded note and extended them to her.
"Start by cleaning the candle holders"
Grabbing the rag and the note from the Father's hands she headed for one of the candle holders she unfolded the note and read what it held.
Seeing that it was the formula, she could only sigh in relief as she kept it in her robe while she began to clean.
...
"I'm glad you could come today Adryan there are several things that would be good to tell you"
The redhead was right now in the club along with Isaac, Charles, and Viktor who had been there since very early.
He had come here because he had nothing to do at home and also because he was too bored.
He even thought about buying a chess set to play at home but then he remembered that Roselle had never 'published' this game and the only ones who knew of its existence were the Emperor himself and his daughter....
Not wanting to attract the attention of unwanted people, he might have to settle for buying a guitar.
Putting those thoughts aside he returned his attention to Isaac who had spoken and seemed excited.
"Looks like something happened"
"Something is falling short, good friend, the preparations for this Saturday's party have finished"
A pair of red brows were raised as a slight exclamation left Adryan's mouth.
"May I know the details?"
"Of course, you are going to attend, after all, the party will be held in the mansion of one of the nobles of the Stanley club who is famous for being a collector of many things related to the occult"
Adryan narrowed his eyes slightly at this information which made him a bit uncomfortable.
"Could you tell me more about this noble?"
Isaac and Viktor let out a small laugh while Charles just gave a light grunt.
"He is quite a personality even among the members of the Stanley club, his name is Dutch Willson and he is the eldest son of one of the members of the New Party, he is quite intelligent but also has a very heavy interest in what is related to mysticism"
After Isaac said that Viktor gave another loud laugh as he drank some more wine.
"Recently there was a rumor that he managed to obtain the remains of a very special and rare creature but no more is known."
At this Charles growled loudly as he took a long drink from his glass.
"Surely he wants to use the party to show off whatever he found but I assure you that it is ridiculous, if the rumors are true those remains should be studied by science instead of being in the private collection of some nobleman accumulating dust"
An awkward laugh escaped Adryan as Isaac and Viktor laughed loudly at the small outburst from the ever-serious Charles.
"Leaving that aside, the party will be held at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and the invitations will be sent out on Wednesday morning, Adryan, a little advice, when you attend make sure you arrive at least 10 minutes late"
At Isaac's reminder, Adryan now let out a loud laugh, he remembered this curiosity of the nobles, although he was not strange to this practice, after all, he was once a Latino, and attending parties late was an obligation unless one would like to help set up the tables.
So he nodded to Isaac's words as he answered.
"Don't worry, I'll take it into account"
As he drank some more wine, Isaac's next words made him choke on it.
"Besides try to get a good suit to attend"
Viktor laughed at how the redhead was coughing while Charles continued to complain about the nobles.
Adryan just sighed with his head down as he tried to think about what outfit he would wear but he also had a problem with that.
How would he manage to defend himself if he couldn't take his materials with him, right now his jacket was one that he had modified to hide tripwires along with the different types of bullets and his hunting knife.
It was a good jacket but not ideal for the party that nobles would attend.
The new suit was not going to allow him to carry many things not even his knife apart from not being able to bring weapons to the party but he would at least like to have something to defend himself...
He needed something hidden and that no one would suspect that in turn could protect him when the time came...
An idea flashed in his head at the thought of a certain creed and a dangerous smile formed on his face...
