Chapter 140 Aphrodisiacs
"Your Beast Tamer ability should have a bonus effect on ordinary animals drinking potions, increasing the success rate as much as possible. Of course, nothing can be 100% successful; everything depends on your own choices."
After listening to Evan's advice, the pharmacist paused for a few seconds, then sighed and said:
"It's already difficult enough for me to save money and collect materials. Now I have to take care of a child. How much wealth do you have to be to be so extravagant!"
If I had known, I should have chosen the path that brought good luck; I would have never seen my teacher short of money!
"I don't need a huge fortune, just a mine or a bank would be enough," Evan muttered to himself, but didn't say it aloud.
"Then why did you choose to become a pharmacist?" the naive Catherine Grey asked curiously.
"When I learned that 'pharmacists' could concoct potions to enhance those abilities, I chose to become a pharmacist without the slightest hesitation." This was a man's choice.
Catherine Grey was clearly taken aback by this answer and was stunned.
To ease the sudden awkwardness, Isengard Stanton quickly said to Evan:
"I will write you two kinds of materials. Please check if MI9 has them. If they do, I am willing to exchange them for 2-081. If there is only one kind of material, I would like to ask you to exchange it for merit points. I will return it to you later."
Having learned about the role-playing method, Isengard Stanton was confident that he could successfully digest the "Knowledge Keeper" potion within a month. After all, he had been a "detective" for a long time and was only one step away from breaking through the final barrier.
Evan nodded, then raised the investigation report that Isengard Stanton had just given him and said:
"You don't owe me anything. If you can capture all of these people, I will recommend you for credit. Even if you can't get both types of materials, the credit you receive will be more than enough to get one type."
Eisinger Stanton nodded, indicating that he would do his best to help Evan. He then took out paper and pen from his pocket, wrote down the materials he needed, and handed them to Evan.
When Evan took it, he saw that it read: "One heartwood of the Elder Tree and one crystal of the Thousand Arts Illusion (Note: borrowed from Mystery: Starting with the Reader)".
The crystallization of the Thousand Arts Illusion was one thing, but I never expected that it would also require the heartwood of the Elder Tree.
Evan couldn't help but chuckle to himself. This Elder Tree was truly a treasure trove. Its fruit was the main material for the Audience Pathway 'Psychotherapist,' its root crystals were the main material for the Solar Pathway Sequence 6 'Notary,' and now its heartwood had become the main material for the Reader Pathway Sequence 6 'Scholar.' No wonder the Tree People were a powerful race in the First Era, truly embodying inclusiveness.
After Isengard Stanton and Ivan finished their conversation, there was nothing left for the others to discuss, and they quickly dispersed.
After Catherine Grey left, Darkwell, with a smug look on his face, came to Evan's side, slipped two vials of medicine into his hands, and whispered to Evan that these were concentrated essences, urging him to try them. He also implied that these could not only "assist" but also "replenish" the body's deficiencies.
It was only then that Evan realized that Darkwell had noticed he had been indulging in excessive sexual activity lately. He could have let it go if Darkwell had given him some drugs, but seeing the suggestive look in Darkwell's eyes, Evan felt a surge of anger and wanted to punch him.
But in the end, considering the medicine she had, she decided not to argue with him.
After waving Darkwell away with feigned authority, Evan, under Isengard Stein's mocking gaze, shamelessly walked away with his head held high.
Evan returned to his apartment in the Joewood district with the box containing the "Guardian of Radiance" and hid it in a secret compartment he had set up.
He then took out a tuft of hair, touched it in the mirror, and after sensing the reaction from the mirror, confirmed that Helen had agreed to his request to meet. He then changed into a presentable outfit, hesitated for a moment, and left with a vial of medicine given to him by Darkwell.
Soon, Evan arrived at the hotel where Helen had a long-term room in the West End. After entering the hotel, he found a secluded corner and drank the medicine that Darkwell had given him.
Evan had initially thought the potion would work slowly, but to his surprise, he felt the effects immediately after drinking it.
I felt my blood rushing to my head, my lower limbs congested with blood, and my whole body became hot and restless.
Damn, is the drug that strong?
Evan secretly groaned. His clothes were all custom-made and fit him perfectly. He also had to pay attention to his demeanor, otherwise he would look terrible in them.
The drug was so potent that his body was reacting very strongly, forcing Evan to walk with a stoop to hide his embarrassment. Ignoring the waiter's kind greetings, he quickly arrived at Helen's room and knocked on the door.
Helen, the "Witch of Pleasure," opened the door and immediately recognized Evan's state. With a silvery laugh, she welcomed the humiliated Evan into the room.
Upon entering the room, an enraged Evan grabbed Helen, scooped her up in his arms, and ran toward the large bed in the suite. Helen did not resist at all, half-closing her eyes and enjoying Evan's thrusts.
After a long while, Helen, her smooth, beautiful back bare, lay on top of Evan, drawing circles on his chest as he entered a state of sedation, and said with a smile:
"You didn't come to see me today just because you found a good aphrodisiac and wanted to go back to that place before, did you?"
Helen's words made Evan feel awkward. After all, being caught taking drugs by a casual sex partner would be embarrassing for any man in any world. Looking at Helen, who was becoming more and more radiant, Evan couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"There are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not land that is over-plowed."
But Evan is Evan after all; he's thick-skinned enough to ignore Helen's teasing and then said:
"Of course not. I'm here to inform you of something: the Witch Cult may be engaging in deep cooperation with the Aurora Society."
I don't know the specifics, I only know that Mr. A is in charge of this matter with the Aurora Society. They have met several times and should have reached some agreements. I only found out about this by chance from Natasha. I can't investigate the rest further; you'll have to investigate from the outside yourself.
"Oh? Cooperating with those Aurora Gang people? Aren't they afraid of being led astray by them?"
Upon hearing that the Witch Cult was going to cooperate with the Aurora Society, Helen, as if remembering something, straightened up and burst into laughter.
Looking at the two large mounds of snow on Helen's chest, Evan felt a reaction again, but in order to attract the attention of the Gnostic Society, he could only quickly look away and continue speaking:
"I was also a little confused at first. The Aurora Society's thought process is very peculiar. Aren't you afraid of making things go wrong by cooperating with them?"
But after checking MI9's information on the Aurora Society, I feel that the Witch Cult's seeking cooperation with the Aurora Society might have been a well-thought-out arrangement.
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Evan's words piqued Helen's interest.
"The Aurora Society's mission is that the seven gods are merely slightly more powerful angels, and all glory belongs to the Creator. Therefore, they constantly create terrifying events, all for the sake of the true Creator's descent."
Their faith is extremely fanatical, and they act without considering the consequences. From the perspective of the Witch Cult, or from the perspective of all other secret organizations, the Aurora Society is a very suitable scapegoat.
Moreover, based on the information I found, not only do secret organizations like to make them take the blame, but in fact, whenever there is something that the Ruen political arena, military, nobility, or MI9 can't handle, or they want to cover something up, they all like to pin the blame on the Aurora Society.
If I'm not mistaken, the Witch Cult might be planning something big, possibly framing the Aurora Society, and this big event should be very beneficial to the Aurora Society.
Helen's expression turned serious upon hearing Evan's analysis, which reminded her of her mother's earlier assessment—that the Witch Cult was plotting to exploit the Augustus family's "Conqueror" extraordinary characteristics. Therefore, she became increasingly concerned about the cooperation between the Witch Cult and the Aurora Society.
"Since you got the information from the Witch Cult, I can't investigate the Witch Cult from the outside again, otherwise they might suspect that there are problems within their own ranks and leak information."
However, if we investigate the Aurora Society, Mr. A is the "shepherd," not so easy to deal with...
Helen hesitated for a moment, then said to Evan:
"You don't need to worry about this matter. I'll find a way to investigate. You should focus on Triss and Edsac Augustus right now. That might be the key to the Witch Cult's scheme."
Seeing that Helen was beginning to take the news of the Witch Cult's cooperation with the Aurora Society seriously, Evan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, seizing the opportunity, he reached under the bed, picked up a piece of clothing, and took out a sketch. He then said to Helen:
"This morning, MI9 issued the highest bounty in its history: find this person."
If I can complete this mission, it will greatly help me improve my status and position while infiltrating MI9.
I believe the Gnostic should have many sources of information in Backlund, so please help me look for them. I'll also tell the Witch Cult about this and ask them to help as well.
Helen took the portrait from Evan, glanced at it, and then asked curiously:
"Who is this person who could make MI9 go to such lengths?"
Evan didn't tell Helen anything else, only recounting how Lanluus had swindled hundreds of thousands of dollars from Tingen. Sure enough, he heard Helen's heavy breathing.
Even secret organizations with angels need a lot of money to maintain their organizational structure.
So it was no surprise to Evan that Helen's eyes were shining. Moreover, Evan noticed that Helen was out of control, and her slightly parted lips exuded a unique charm, which made his body even more "excited".
So, taking advantage of Helen's distraction, Evan flipped over and pinned her down, beginning the second round of the contest. Who would win and who would lose was still unknown!
