Chapter 357 The Death of the Painter
"Of course not, Shade, this is just a potion, and It's not a book. Besides, the recipe for this potion is mastered by the murloc race, and a few materials known to humans are completely extinct. In this era, it is impossible that someone can prepare it again."

priest said.

"So, is it possible for this potion to get credits from Academy?"

Shade asked again, and priest shook his head again:
"Absolutely impossible, only Academy tasks and Recycling relics can get practice credits, this is a matter of principle, and no amount of precious potions can be changed.”

Shade shook his head in disappointment, and put today’s energetic cat on his shoulders, Mia was happy Rubbing against Shade's face, not knowing exactly what was written in the book he brought home.

"Don't be disappointed, this potion, no matter who you sell it to, can sell for four-digit gold pounds. Elixir, after drinking it at any age, can make your body from the inside out. In addition, returning to the most youthful age, equivalent to recover one's youthful vigor without side effects, it is said that the demoness of the fifth era, add a drop to their afternoon tea every day to drink, tsk tsk tsk."

The old priest couldn't help but stunned, and then explained:

"From the records in the book, your bottle will probably work for at least a week."

"It turned out to be time-limited, I thought it would last forever after drinking it"

Now Shade is even more disappointed, but thinking about it is right, it's just a bottle of potion, if it can make people permanent Going back to a young state, then the fifth era is not the era of Demonness, but the era of potions. But just this effect is enough to be called precious, you must know that this has no side effects.

"priest, are you interested in this? If you are interested, I can sell you this potion at a low price."

Shade asked, and the old priest was the third Times shook his head:

"I am very satisfied with my body, and what is the use of experiencing a week of youth? That will only make me fall into unnecessary nostalgia. Besides, selling it to me at a low price, I Can't get that much money out either."

"Is this thing worth a lot? Priest, can you give it an estimate?"

"It's hard."

Augus priest put the potion on Shade's coffee table:

"Ancient potions have appeared on the market, but they are all invalid. Occasionally for various reasons The ancient potions that can still be used will not be publicly sold for at least four-digit gold pounds, and if I sell them, I will price them at 2,300 pounds."

"Understood."

Shade slowly nodded, he intends to show this to Miss Galina. The Demoness Council is very obsessed with collecting items related to Demoness, and it is also quite rich. Maybe it will be interested in the potions offered to Demoness by the alien species in the previous era.

Today, the priority came to Shade, mainly to solve a troublesome thing with him. Half the chances are Evil Spirit at work, half the chances are some poorly documented relic is at play.

After talking about the potion, Shade invited the priest to a cup of tea, and after leaving Mia at home to watch the house, the two went out again.

This incident actually has little to do with Shade. On the Saturday after the descent on Thursday two weeks ago, the doctor was being investigated by the church, so Shade asked Shade to inform the rest of the group. Human learning will be suspended.

While Shade informs Augustus of the priest and bids farewell, a man asks the priest if there is a particular type of Holy Prayer memento (chapter 287). Shade didn't care about the man, and neither did Augustus.

But a week later, Priest, who was busy with the preparations for Holy Prayer, unexpectedly heard the news of the man's death.

The man's name was Myerson Fries, he was not a senior believer, and his death by accidentally falling down the stairs did not attract much attention from the church. The rest of the man's family moved out of the house after that, and reported that they were going to sell the house.

"The reason for the incident was like this. On the surface, nothing was wrong, but at the time, out of curiosity, I found the man's family to inquire about it. After all, very few people would go to the church specifically to ask for a statuette in the style of a priest. ."

"Then did you give it to him?"

"Of course, it's not a valuable thing."

The priest and Shade took the carriage to go Hangleton Garden Street, where the house is located, is an ordinary residential block in the east of Tobesque. Each household has its own small garden and double-storey buildings of the same standard. The people who live here are generally decent middle-class families, the dead Mr. Merson Freeman, who was a painter of small reputation before his death.

The so-called "small reputation" means that the painted works can be sold at a good price.

After getting off the carriage at the intersection, Augustus priest and Shade chatted while walking:

"I'm curious as to why the family moved out of the building after the male owner died. The house. I thought it was his family who didn't want to live in a sad place, but after finding Mrs. Frith, who was temporarily living in a rental apartment, she told me that Mr. Frith had some mental problems during his lifetime, and sometimes claimed that There are people I can't see in the house."

The priest shrugged and walked towards the middle-aged woman with her pet dog, looking curiously at the strangers appearing on this street. The residents here know each other and even have a residents committee, so they are sensitive to strangers.

"Since Mr. Frith had this kind of problem during his lifetime, why didn't he ask the church for help?"

Shade asked.

"Detective, do you think that there are occasional auditory hallucinations, or terrifying nightmares, and people will immediately think it's a haunted event?"

The priest sighed Gas, he has worked in the church for many years and has very rich experience:
"Only less than one tenth of those who have actually encountered a mysterious incident are immediately aware of the danger they face. Of those tenths, about half The above will choose to solve it by themselves, and one third will resort to various strange methods. Among them, most of the police will turn to the church, and only a few people will go to the church for help in a very rational way. "

In fact, it is "irrational" to seek help in a church. Although people believe in God, most people do not believe in the existence of ghosts.

This is the reality, the church cannot announce the existence of mysterious, people in this era are very superstitious and ignorant, and only senior believers understand that the church is the most worthy of trust in the Dark World. "Policemen".

"So,priest,do you know what happened to Mr. Freeman?"

"There is very little information, because apart from Mr. Freeman himself, his wife and children Nothing strange happened to them. The gentleman claimed before his death that there were other people in the family and would wake up in his sleep. A week or two before his death, in addition to painting, he suddenly became interested in woodcarving, Freeman My wife gave me a wood carving that he made by himself, but the skill is really uncompromising."

The priest said, and took out a small wood carving with the thickness of only two fingers from his pocket. It can be seen that the sculptors tried to carve male figures, and even colored the facial features and clothes. The coloring is excellent, but the engraving technique can only be described as "poor".
