Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 39 The Courier Lady Offers a Monthly Subscription
Star is ready to summon the messenger lady to discuss the role-playing of the "Prisoner Path" and seek some advice.

He set up the altar until the silver knife created a spiritual wall and the air was filled with the scent of herbs and essential oils.

In the dim candlelight, Star looked at the quietly burning candle, placed a gold coin on the altar, stepped back and chanted in ancient Hermetic language:
"I!

"I call in my name:
"A spirit wandering in the void, a friendly creature that can be driven, and a messenger belonging exclusively to Gehrman Sparrow."

The humming sound of the wind lingered, and the flames of the altar candles expanded rapidly and took on a distinct paleness.

Renette Tinicole came out slowly, still wearing the gloomy and complicated black dress, holding four identical beautiful heads.

The messenger lady once again saw Star, whom she labeled as a "magic spell user". Strangely, this time she seemed unable to detect any psychological activities from Star.

Should we say that she is worthy of being someone who can easily take out "high-level spells"? As a former desire domain, Renette Tinicole is now unable to see through Star with her own abilities.

She was slightly shocked and the four heads in her hands turned at the same time. Her red eyes looked at Star and she spoke one by one:

"You..." "want to..." "send a letter..." "?"

"Or..." "Want to..." "Make..." "a deal..." "with me?"

Star shook his head and said, "Miss Messenger, I want to communicate something with you."

As he spoke, he picked up the gold coin that was placed on the altar and ignored by Renette Tinicole and handed it to her.

And Renette Tinicole glanced at the gold coin with some disdain. Her four heads continued to stare at Star and spoke one by one:

"You..." "You can..." "Give me..." "One..." "That kind..." "A talisman."

“This…” “Moon…” “Summon…” “I…” “Just…” “No need…” “Pay…” “any more.”

Star was a little surprised by this answer. Was the messenger expressing high approval of her own talisman?

What does this have to do with anything? How did he learn it all by himself and acquire the business tricks of the “monthly membership” platform software in his previous life?
Although I summoned her several times in the past two days, it was only because this promotion happened to be through the same path as hers. I probably won't use her to send messages in the future.

It's more convenient to chat on Gray Mist through Honorific Name, and you don't have to worry about being spied on or exposed.

However, Star still considered his words, and under the red-eyed gaze of Reinette Tinicole, he gave the reasonable reason he had just thought of, and declined politely:
"The month is almost over."

"Even if we take next month into account, I won't summon you so often to deliver letters to Xiao Ke in the future."

"And even if you take out this 'high-level' spell for exchange, it should be worth at least one hundred gold pounds, right?"

"So, if I subscribe for the season, it's still not worth it, because I don't send letters to Xiao Ke that many times in a season."

In addition to the reason of the gray fog, there is another point. In fact, it seems that the cost of delivering the letter does not necessarily have to be paid by Sta.

Star can definitely let Xiao Ke pay.

Xiao Ke told others that the ritual materials for the messenger lady's summoning ceremony cost a gold coin, but that was just his way of passing on the delivery fee.

It’s a pity that we can’t see the painful mask Xiao Ke will put on when he knows that he has to pay a gold coin to receive the letter.
That scene, wow, it’s so interesting just thinking about it~
Star was secretly complaining about the cost of delivering the letter, but he was not surprised at all that the messenger lady wanted to obtain her talisman through a transaction.

Even though it is made of humble bronze sheets and costs almost nothing, it is very effective.

This "high-level" spell can be compared to the weakened version of the "Yesterday Reappearance" spell, and has become the favorite of the "old, weak, sick and disabled". The most important thing is that, at present, only I can provide this "high-level" spell to this downtrodden angel.

Didn’t you see that the messenger’s eyes were red?

Although her eyes were originally red.

Of course, Star is not worried that Miss Messenger will bully the weak. After all, she is a "moderate" person. Even if she wants to, she will not take advantage of others and will obtain it through legal means.

As expected, the messenger Miss Renette Tinicole did not give up. She held up her beautiful head and said:
"One hundred..." "Golden pounds..." "What?"

"Okay." "Not bad..." "Not bad."

“The spell…” “is more…” “useful…” “to me…” “than…” “the gold coins…”

“Then I…” “Can…” “Take…” “this year…” “of…” “summoning…” “cost…” “in exchange.”

amount.

Star didn't know how to do it now, but he was quick to respond and agreed at the speed of light:

"it is good!"

The messenger lady didn't feel like she was being taken advantage of, and soon got down to business with Star.

The two of them had a night talk by candlelight, and for a moment they put this little episode behind them.

After Star was satisfied with the confirmation of his guess about the "prisoner" path and some suggestions for role playing, he took out two talismans and said:
"One is for the year's package, and the other is to thank you for the information you gave me just now, Miss Messenger."

The messenger lady looked at the tactful Star with her four heads, and accepted the talisman given by Star without any hesitation.

In fact, Star’s idea of ​​acting as a “prisoner” is also very interesting, especially the guess about hanging delicious food in front of people. It seems that it can be used as a case for students to study.

Renette Tinicole had doubts about Star's questions. Besides, she had asked for the "madman's" potion before. Was she also using the same channel as her?
But isn't Star acting too rational?
If only everyone on the Prisoner pathway could be like him.

When the messenger was about to leave, Star remembered his lack of knowledge in mysticism and asked her to help him look for a book on mysticism that could lay a foundation and provide a comprehensive and in-depth understanding - such as "The Book of Secrets" by Karaman, the "Witch King" of the Southern Continent.

As a time traveler, the composition of his knowledge of occultism is very strange. On one hand, he has mastered many secrets related to high-sequences and gods, but on the other hand, he only knows relatively elementary ritual magic. For the relatively complex ones, he only knows about sacrifices and bestowal ceremonies. As for various common sense of occultism, he only knows those mentioned in the original book...

Therefore, the book written by Xiao Ke, which can be said to be a guide from beginner to advanced, naturally became Miss Starbaito's first choice.

Of course, more basic books on mysticism would also be fine. There isn't much serious mysticism knowledge in Star's original memory.

Renette Tinicole was not surprised. Combining some of the previous information, she wondered whether Star also had a student on the "prisoner" path.

After all, Star knows too much. It's impossible that he doesn't know these things, right?

The messenger lady just raised her head, and the four heads opened their mouths at the same time, reminding Star:

"Need..." "Deposit..."
