"What to do?"

Charles looked at Avina, blinked in confusion, and said hesitantly, "I asked the maid to give me a notebook to write things down... Did I do anything?"

"Cough cough..."

Avina turned her face away and coughed twice to hide her embarrassment, then changed the subject and asked, "Have you decided what to buy? Adele and I have already bought it."

Charles raised the bag filled with Soviet pounds and some chips in his hand and said, "I want to exchange all the money for chips first."

"I can do that for you, miss."

The red chip masked maid beside her curtsied slightly and said.

Charles handed the handbag to the other party and watched the maid take the handbag into the exchange area. After a while, the maid came out again and handed the handbag to Charles.

"Four thousand five hundred pounds in chips, please have a look, young lady."

Ciel took the handbag and took a deep breath.

Grab money!

More than five thousand pounds became four thousand five hundred!

"Because you're new, I'm giving you some discounts when exchanging chips. I hope you don't mind."

Seeing that Charles didn't say anything, the maid thought that she had given him too much and made him unhappy.

The maid was a little panicked. What if she was being presumptuous and asked for more discounts, which made the other party feel offended? That would be a bit offensive. After all, it was difficult to guess what rich people were thinking.

"thank you."

Ciel nodded stiffly, then took his handbag and walked to the place where he could exchange first-level potions.

Avina and Adele had also bought their own potions and were now very free, so they followed Charles to see what she wanted to buy.

With four thousand five hundred pounds in chips, he could buy a maximum of five bottles of potions, so it was Charles's responsibility to decide which five bottles to buy.

First of all, the "gambler" route is definitely excluded. In addition to the fact that non-members of the Deton Manor cannot purchase it, if Charles wants to be promoted, he can directly enter the simulation, come to the manor, and shoot fifty people. He doesn't even need to waste more destiny points to exchange.

As his proficiency in shooting increases, Charles will definitely be able to kill faster next time and save time.

Unfortunately, he couldn't watch the re-creation ritual before buying the potion. Charles could only rely on his memory of reading the notes at Avina's house and the name of the potion itself to speculate about the ritual, and try to choose the potion that he might have completed the ritual for.

Ciel bought the "Blood Painter", "Adventurer", "Detective", "Butcher" and "Coroner" potions.

With the remaining chips, Charles bought the potion materials of "Instigator". She only had some of the materials of "Instigator". Now that she has gathered all the materials, she can try to make the potion.

Ciel also wanted to buy the "Instigator" potion directly, but he really didn't have enough chips.

In this way, Charles took five bottles of potions and several potion materials and followed Avina and the others to leave Deton Manor.

When he arrived in front of the carriage, a feeling of emptiness after shopping came over Charles.

She looked at the bottles and jars stuffed in her handbag and felt her heart bleeding.

He had just become rich, and before he could even warm up the money in his hands, it was directly turned into potions and materials.

"Then I'll take my leave first. Thank you for coming to accompany me shopping."

Adele bowed slightly in the direction of Charles and Avina and expressed her gratitude.

"Wait a moment,"

Charles stopped Adele, looked at her and asked, "Do you still have any dehydration medicine? Can you sell me a few bottles? I'll pay... on credit for now."

"It's free. They're not expensive. Besides, it's my responsibility to give them to more people."

Adele pulled out a bottle of reagent from her waist bag, handed it to Charles, and instructed, "Ordinary people can just take one drop and dilute it and drink it. There are about 20 drops in it."

"I live at 31 Jewel Avenue in the city center now. If it's not enough, come and ask me for it."

After leaving her address, Adele said goodbye and left. It seemed that she was ready to study the reappearance ritual of the "Plague Doctor".

"Shall I go with you to deliver the medicine?"

Avina opened the door of the carriage and said to Charles, "I have nothing to do when I go back anyway."

Avina knew that when Charles got the special medicine from Adele, he would definitely think of giving one to his sister. Maybe she would give one to someone else, so she just followed him to see what Charles's social circle was like.

"Come on, the carriage is faster,"

Avina made room and said, "If it had been delivered a second earlier, the effect might have been better."

Avina's last sentence finally moved Charles. She no longer refused Avina's kindness, got on the carriage directly, and reported a few addresses.

Since they were now in the suburbs, they were a bit far from the addresses Charles mentioned. It took about half an hour for the carriage to arrive at the first place - Burren Private Middle School College.

The graduation ceremony was held yesterday, and the things used for the celebration have not been dismantled yet. Only a few teachers are helping.

Charles went forward and asked a teacher about the dean's residence, then got back into the carriage and asked the driver to drive away.

The teachers just thought that Charles missed the graduation ceremony and wanted to get his diploma back, but Charles did not forget what he mentioned in his simulated diary before, that he had seen Dean Jenny die in the quarantine area, Clock Tower Lane.

Dean Jenny also contracted dehydration.

Charles was naturally willing to repay the kindness of the dean who had helped her. When she arrived at Dean Jenny's house, she was already lying on the bed dying. Only an anxious old servant came out to greet Charles.

After diluting a drop of special medicine, Charles fed the medicine to Dean Jenny. He left Dean Jenny's house only after she seemed to have recovered from the symptoms of dehydration.

The second place to go was his sister Lizzie, who now lived in the jewelry district. Charles handed the diluted medicine to Lizzie, who drank it without asking what it was. After the two chatted for a while, Charles returned to the carriage.

During the conversation, Lizzie kept looking at Avina in the carriage. Avina felt embarrassed and had to get off to say hello to Lizzie.

At the last stop, Charles delivered the medicine to Amy's home.

Baron Hastings had heard something about dehydration and was a little surprised that Charles had gotten the special medicine so early. But when he saw the Russell family's carriage outside through the window, he felt relieved and accepted Charles' kindness.

Amy didn't care about dehydration or special potions. She was just asking why Charles didn't come to yesterday's graduation ceremony and whether something unexpected happened.

It can be seen that Amy, who has been unable to contact Charles and is forbidden by her father from going to Clock Tower Lane, is very worried and has been worried that something has happened to Charles.

After chatting with Amy for a while, Charles returned to the carriage.

She had basically given the special medicine to ordinary people she knew. Next, she had to prepare her own potion and a way to reproduce it.

She wanted to study all the potions and reproduction rituals she had obtained so far, to see if there were any that she had already completed, or if she could complete multiple reproduction rituals at once.

In addition, she also wanted to ask Avina about Sardana and the cult in a safe place - that is, Avina's home.

Chapter 66: Don’t know which side to kill? Kill them all!

"Let's go back."

After Charles returned to the carriage, he sat opposite Avina and closed his eyes to rest.

"it's over?"

Avina was a little surprised that Adele only used a few drops of the antidote she gave her.

Charles... you have no friends now?

Originally, Avina wanted to see Charles' social circle, but she didn't expect that Charles' social circle was pitifully small.

Apart from his sister and the school's dean, there was only one friend left for whom Ciel was worthy of receiving the special medicine.

This life can really be said to be a straight line between two points.

Avina looked at Charles who was resting with his eyes closed in front of her, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should comfort him.

"Ah."

Charles opened his eyes and looked at Avina in front of him, and said, "Go back later, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Hearing Charles suddenly ask to chat, Avina took a deep breath.

"Can I...choose not to talk?"

Avina's voice became weaker.

But Ciel didn't answer, he just closed his eyes again.

She didn't know if Avina was still under the surveillance of the cultists. She had to ensure relative safety before she could talk about "Mother Goddess Sartana".

On the way back, Avina was feeling uneasy, wondering what Charles wanted to say to her.

But at the same time, she was also curious about why Ciel bought so many first-level potions.

Ciel's social circle is so narrow, why does she buy so many potions?

Could it be that the intelligence organization behind her needs it?

Not too possible.

A mysterious organization that has access to so much information would not waste money to buy the reproduction ritual even if it wanted the potion. It is impossible for them to not have information about the reproduction ritual.

Charles for his own use?

Even if Charles was using it for himself, he wouldn't buy so much. It's impossible for him to drink it all by himself.

Even if Ciel really needed a potion, Avina would recommend her to go the "detective" route.

Ivina couldn't guarantee the other ways, but she could still give some professional advice on the "detective" way.

Avina's home was not far from Amy's home, both were in the Jazz Bridge area. Soon, the carriage stopped in front of Avina's house.

Since the special medicine has not been distributed on a large scale, Avina did not ask the other servants in the manor to come back, and no one has dealt with the rubble and ruins on the right side of the manor.

“Where can I best ensure the privacy of my conversation?”

After entering the manor, Charles looked at Avina sideways and asked.

"Books...in my room."

After a pause, Avina explained, "My room is smaller than the study, so it's suitable for arranging the ceremony."

Charles glanced at Avina with some confusion.

Didn't Avina set up the ceremony in the study in the simulation? Could the size of this room affect the ceremony?

However, Avina kept looking ahead with an expressionless face, and Charles did not see any strange emotions on her face.

Ciel stopped hesitating and went back to her guest room on the second floor. She put a bag of potions and the reappearance ritual together with the potion of the "Judge" that was previously stored. Then she went to the third floor and stopped outside Avina's door.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

Charles knocked on Avina's door and waited for almost half a minute before Avina opened the door.

"Please come in."

Avina turned sideways to make room for Charles.

Charles walked into the room. She had slept here once before, so she didn't feel unfamiliar. She just found a sofa and sat down. Charles noticed that there were two cups of brewed black tea on the table in front of the sofa.

despair--

After locking the door, Avina walked to the table and sat on the sofa next to Charles. She looked at Charles and asked, "The ceremony to isolate us from prying eyes has been arranged. What do you want to say?"

Even before, when it came to the topic of Avina's life and death, Charles had never asked for such a safe environment for the conversation.

She reached out and scratched the area on her neck where she had been bitten by Charles before, but the wound was almost healed now, with only a faint mark and a slight itchy sensation as the wound healed.

Avina did not choose to use ointment to speed up the healing of the wound. She herself did not understand why, or rather, she did not even think about applying medicine.

After taking a sip of the black tea on the table, Charles looked at Avina and asked, "Have you studied Sherren's notes?"

Avina nodded: "I read it carefully before handing it over to the Redemption Society. I can't say I've done much research, but I still remember the contents."

"What do you think is suspicious in the research notes?"

Charles continued to ask.

Avina likes to solve cases, so Charles started the topic from the point where she is better at.

"Now that you ask, there are indeed a few points I haven't figured out."

Hearing this, Avina perked up.

Although she did not digest the "detective" potion that most of the Russell family chose, she was still interested in solving mysteries because of the influence she had received since childhood.

"His notes showed a deep fascination with his research, but the content of his research was somewhat ambiguous, as if he couldn't explain the underlying principles. Adele's subsequent comments confirmed my suspicions."

"Apart from this resolved doubt, there are three more unresolved doubts."

Avina paused for a second, organized her words, then looked down at the red teacup and said:
