Chapter 164 How to Hire a Killer
Three days had passed since the attack to Daniel's co around the large market in the northern part of the city
The excuse that Daniel had prepared for being so far from the part of the capital in which his shops had been set, was that he wanted to expand his reach through the entire city, and his oal, was to open a shop within each and every market
”Your ability in alchemy surprised me From what I understand, ten minutes is already very little even if you possess early experience” Said Daniel to Serf, while Alesia picked items from a nearby stall
Serf looked back at Daniel, and with an e ”Well I corowing up Making a sugar pill is a joke, really Of course, my experience cannot be compared with your talent I can't even smell any sort of alchemical smell on you?”
”My second teacher was Well, is an Alcheht me alchemy” Said Daniel with a melancholic tone
A bit of confusion appeared on Serf's face, as he asked ”What did he teach you then?”
”Coh the use of spi Is”
”It's quite strange that neither you or our master were able to discover this side of you” Responded Serf with surprise in his voice
”What about you? Any reason why soher than your own background?” Asked Daniel with curiosity He had wondered about this for awhile now
Serf sighed gently, then said ”They don't consider previous experience asfrom a prominent family of alchemists has penalized me more than you would think”
”But you're a copper-badged student like us No offence, but your fa”
”This is where you're wrong My fae” Responded Serf with a bit of annoyance and irritation
Daniel's brows furrowed in surprise, as he asked ”What? Why don't you have a platinue then?”
”Because row better So, they reement with the school They send four students to 'The Superior Alchee each, we only get one platinuold, one silver, and one copper”
The explanation made sense to Daniel He expected that the school would be willing to accept a few request froed After all, if not for the fact that they were part of 'The Poisonous Rose', they would simply be a school for the elite like any other
There was still so mood, Daniel said ”You've joined the school last year, and you're the one student of your faone to But why do others treat you like that? By logic, a golden-badged students wouldn't fear your badge, but they would certainly fear the repercussions froroup behind you”
”They don't fear my family, because they don't know about it Only the owner of the platinu to our faes allow us to” Responded Serf with indifference He didn't seem to be too bothered by all of that
”What about your family members? Why hasn't anybody helped you?” Asked Daniel with a seeed his broad shoulders, and said with a dispirited tone ”You've already irl that first insulted uy you've et close to her”
”What are you two talking about?” Asked a Alesia from behind them
Daniel and Serf turned to look at her, and noticed that she was holding a brown leather belt with elegant carvings on its surface
”Who is that belt for?” Asked Daniel with curiosity
With an expression of eht it would look good on you”
”Oh thank you” Responded Daniel with evident gratitude and a bit of embarrassment
The situation went co smile appeared on his face, and said ”What a nice couple of sibling”
A deep frown appeared on both of Daniel's and Alesia's face, as the two of them turned to look at Serf, and said in unison ”We are not siblings!”
This caused Serf to come to a sudden realization
-----
A few minutes later, the three of the shop From outside, the place looked like a mix between an horticulturist, and a florist
Many different pungent odors could be felt coh for tears to form in the corner of the eyes of most people that passed near its entrance
Daniel and Alesia immediately deviated the air which contained alche their noses, or touch their eyes They then walked in
Once inside, the s able to feel it with their sense of smell, they could still taste it as a bitter and sour aftertaste, which left them uncomfortable
The only one that didn't seem to be affected by it, was Serf, which compared to them, looked quite comfortable in this environment
”Oh, no you can't do that You have to breathe in deeply! How else are you going to get your nose hair burnt away! Hehehe” Said a disembodied voice that came from behind the counter
Daniel, Alesia and Serf walked all the way up to the counter, and behind it, they sahat looked like a kid as barely over ten years of age
