Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

All the promises Lanevus made to Hood Eugen were real. As long as the other party could get out of this unscathed, all the conditions he agreed to would be fulfilled.

He was already tied to Lin Nuo, and as long as the other party could gain a foothold after joining in, Lanevus would also admit that Hood Eugen was a big shot.

There is a contractual constraint between him and Lin Nuo, but there is no such constraint with Hood Eugen. As long as he gets involved, he will be his best aid and helper.

Chapter 55: Promotion to Pharmacist

Steve Shipping Company was finally sold by Lin Nuo...for a mere 7000 pounds.

Even though he argued with reason at the banquet, he could not stand up to those old guys who were unethical. They even invited Madam Sharon to act as a lobbyist.

How could Lin Nuo, a young man full of vigor and vitality, withstand such a test?

After drinking a few glasses of red wine, Lin Nuo finally agreed to everything in a daze. In the end, he was helped back by Anna.

Lying on the big soft bed in his bedroom, feeling the soft touch of the pillow, Lin Nuo stared blankly at the elegantly decorated ceiling above his head.

"Anna, I suddenly feel so empty. I have nothing now except the dirty 7000 pounds in my pocket."

"Master, I'm afraid it's more than 7000 pounds, right?"

Anna smiled as she massaged Lin Nuo's forehead.

"10000 pounds?"

Lin Nuo roughly calculated the remaining money from last time and the balance that had not been settled with Miss Zhengyi, and gave a rough number.

"I'm afraid only you, young master, know this clearly."

Anna looked at Lin Nuo, who was resting his head on her thighs, with a smile on his face.

"I have found the whereabouts of the main material you are missing."

Lin Nuo stood up and said after resting for a while.

"Really? That's great!"

Anna was also very happy. She had been looking forward to becoming a transcendent.

"What good will it do me to lie to you?"

Lin Nuo knocked on Anna's head, then he walked through a dark blue wall and went straight to Anna's bedroom.

Build a spiritual wall, set up an altar, and recite a silent prayer.

"A fool who does not belong to this era."

"The mysterious master above the gray fog."

"The Yellow and Black King Who Controls Good Luck"

......

"Your faithful servant begs for your attention."

"Please accept his offering."

“Please open the gates of your kingdom.”

"Please give these two items to Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man respectively."

After Lin Nuo sent the two boxes he had prepared into the virtual gate, the virtual gate also threw out a white horn.

Lin Nuo looked at the extraordinary materials in his hand and suspected that Mr. Fool had already received the express delivery from Miss Justice, but had been waiting for him because he found it troublesome.

Lin Nuo weighed the extraordinary material in his hand. He resisted the urge to cut it open for research and went through the wall back to his room.

"The horn of an adult Pegasus and 3 grams of venom crystals of the crown jellyfish..."

"All the materials you need are here, you can do the rest yourself."

Lin Nuo took out the remaining extraordinary materials from the cabinet and handed them to Anna.

Anna took it and nodded somewhat dazedly. Although she had already learned the introductory knowledge of the supernatural field, she was still somewhat uncomfortable drinking such a hard Pegasus horn.

"Don't worry, they will melt by themselves when they come into contact with water. You are still lucky. The adult black-spotted frogs I bought before are also extraordinary materials. Can you believe it? That one is disgusting..."

Lin Nuo couldn't help shaking his head when he thought of the stuff he threw in the basement. The reason he spent money to buy it was actually to disgust people.

"Master, let me go wash first."

Anna was a little nervous as she was preparing a potion for the first time. She looked at the materials in her hand and said with some worry.

"can."

Lin Nuo nodded and agreed with Anna's suggestion. Although preparing potions was not like cooking, at least he wouldn't feel uncomfortable if he cleaned it in advance.

Anna quickly washed up and went back upstairs. She prepared a crucible on the table and put the materials in her hand into it one by one.

Although it was not heated, the hard Pegasus horn melted in the water, creating a series of gurgling bubbles, and finally turned into a pool of sticky purple liquid.

"Drink."

Lin Nuo nodded calmly at Anna's pitiful appearance.

Anna picked up the crucible and drank it all in one gulp quite heroically. Lin Nuo watched her expression from the side and was ready to provide help at any time.

"Do you remember what I taught you?"

"Meditation, focus on your spirituality."

With Lin Nuo's guidance, Anna successfully became a Sequence Nine Pharmacist.

"Master, I succeeded!"

When Anna opened her eyes again, she excitedly threw herself into Lin Nuo's arms, like a child who had obtained a new toy.

"Yeah, well done."

Lin Nuo did not discourage her enthusiasm. He touched Anna's head and let her play by herself.

He still had something very important to do, which was to visit Klein and Mrs. Sharon.

Put on your hat, take your cane, put on your formal clothes, and put some money in your pocket...

Lin Nuo quickly arrived at the restaurant on Daffodil Street by carriage.

He occupied a table alone, ordered two glasses of sweet iced tea and Dipsy Pie, and stared aimlessly, biting his straw.

"Why did you suddenly think of treating me to a meal today?"

Klein looked at Lin Nuo in a daze and joked. He didn't need Lin Nuo to greet him and directly picked up the sweet iced tea in front of him and took a sip.

“It’s delicious as that first sip of sweetened iced tea after get off work.”

After making a comment, he picked up his knife and fork and began to taste the tempting Dixie pie in front of him.

Klein had actually already guessed the purpose of Lin Nuo's invitation. It was simply because he wanted to learn more about the Church of Evernight because of the Fool's reminder.

"You seem to be in a good mood?"

Lin Nuo came back to his senses and looked at Klein's confident and unrestrained aura, not understanding what the other party was saying.

"I hid it so well, yet you found it?"

Klein couldn't suppress the smile, but he still pursed his lips to show some reserve.

"Well, you are full of arrogance and domineering attitude. I'll pay for this order."

Lin Nuo nodded, stopped biting the straw, and reached out to pick up the menu as if he wanted to add two dishes.

"Ahem, there's still some time before dinner, so don't rush."

Klein held down Lin Nuo's hands as he was about to raise the menu with his left hand, and steadily caught the fork that his left hand dropped with his right hand.

"Have you been practicing fighting recently?"

Lin Nuo noticed that Klein's physical coordination had greatly improved, so he asked casually.

"I am learning martial arts from a retired knight. This is an important skill for a security guard."

Klein briefly talked about what he had learned.

"Well, maybe you could remind that gentleman that times have changed. He could compile a set of gun fighting techniques and recruit students. I think it would be well received."

Lin Nuo made a firing gesture to Klein, signaling him to let go quickly.

Klein smiled and let go of his hand. He was about to make a joke when he suddenly found that the words that were about to come out of his mouth were forcibly suppressed by the guy in front of him.

Klein stared at Lin Nuo blankly and almost doubted whether Lin Nuo really just invited him out for a meal.

No, you blocked all my boasting words, so how can I take the opportunity to reveal the news to you?

Chapter 56 Treat

"Don't look at me. I know you think the term 'gun fighting' is cool, but it's just fighting with a revolver."

Lin Nuo looked at Klein's dazed look and thought that he was still in middle school and had not yet graduated, so he smiled friendly.

Klein felt uncomfortable when he saw Lin Nuo's friendly eyes. He secretly complained that gun fighting was gun fighting, and fighting with guns...

"Have you ever seen a bullet that can turn a corner? That's called gun fighting."

Klein intended to give the natives in front of him a little sci-fi shock.

"Is that what you said?"

Lin Nuo took out a business card from his pocket, flicked his finger, and the business card flew around and returned to Lin Nuo's hand.

"You can still do it with more practice. As for the bullet turning, won't it explode?"

After being shown off, Klein suddenly didn’t want to talk anymore.

Although he felt that he should be able to achieve the same level with his current body control ability, what if he failed?

"Waiter, another serving of Fenaport noodles, one serving of cream of mushroom soup, one serving of vegetable salad, and two servings of steak."

Lin Nuo asked the waiter to order a few more dishes. He was very generous and directly gave the other party a tip of 1 soli, so the table in front of them was soon filled with food.

"The dishes on the table in front of us cost only 5 soli. You must have gone to rob a bank to spend so much. I feel bad for the tip."

Klein swallowed his saliva reluctantly as he looked at the food on the table. In fact, he almost popped his eyes out when he saw Lin Nuo handing the waiter a 1 soli tip.

"Isn't this a celebration for you?"

Lin Nuo didn't mind giving a bigger tip. It wasn't a loss to use some change in exchange for better service. Otherwise, how could the restaurant serve the food so quickly?

"What are you celebrating for me?"

Klein looked at Lin Nuo suspiciously and asked.

"Of course I'm congratulating you on your salary increase. I can tell from your expression."

Lin Nuo also knew a little about the rules of the Orthodox Church. Klein should have successfully been promoted to Sequence 8, so this guy's weekly salary should be at least six or seven pounds, right? Even ten pounds is possible!

But this guy was promoted so quickly, so he must have mastered the method of acting. Who told him that? Or did he figure it out on his own?

Lin Nuo thought about Klein's family background and his tendency to think before he could make a decision, and felt that the latter possibility was more likely.

This guy really made the right choice by choosing the path of a fortune teller.

"Well, can't you just let me say it myself?"

Klein said listlessly as he looked at Lin Nuo.

He was very sad now and didn't want to talk. He raised his knife and fork and put a piece of steak into his mouth.

"Because of my meritorious service, I was recognized by a senior and now I have a weekly salary of 8 pounds."

"Since you said you were celebrating for me, then I'll treat you to a meal. Don't fight with me."

Klein said as he glared at Lin Nuo fiercely.

"Really? I suddenly have a good appetite."

Lin Nuo responded, and he tasted a hint of meaning in Klein's words.

Gaining recognition from a senior? How senior? Someone from Backlund?

"Klein, it's rare for you to treat me, so I can't order all the dishes, right?"

Lin Nuo became more vigilant towards the Church of Evernight and handed the menu in his hand to Klein, who was eating noodles with his head down.

"What do you want to do? Isn't this enough for us?"
