Vol 2 Chapter 151: goodbye eve
p1()
Then, Carula took Eve to pack up, and Aldridge and Herbert sat down on the chair in the yard with a tacit understanding and talked in a low voice.
"I thought you were dead, and I didn't know how to explain to Karula."
To a man like Herbert who is not careful, Aldridge speaks very straightforwardly.
Herbert thought about what happened half a month ago, his face was gloomy, and he said, "I thought I couldn't survive, La Masia hurt me a little, but the captain's fire didn't kill me, but sent me back. On the Chopping Wave."
In that case, I can still think of Herbert...
Aldridge suddenly felt that the old fanatic was not a complete bad guy either.
The positions are different.
Herbert looked up and asked, "What happened after that?"
Aldrich pondered for a while, and told the truth, "Ferre died, and the plan didn't work out. Helena was taken away by La Masia, and she didn't know her whereabouts."
Herbert was stunned for a while, and then let out a dull "um".
Aldridge sighed in his heart and calmly advised, "In the future, let go... These messes have nothing to do with you."
In Aldridge's view, Herbert was really a little 'poor'.
He followed the old captain for many years, but he turned out to be a follower of the Goddess of Storms. He devoted his life to resuscitating the Goddess. He even directed and acted a death, which made Herbert feel guilty all the time, and finally got on Helena's ship.
It's enough to get involved in these dangerous and messy things, and leave a little 'tail' for myself.
Helena hated Ferrier, but even though Herbert was deceived by Ferrier, her heart still turned to the old captain, which in Helena's eyes was like a betrayal.
In principle, Herbert was right.
But Helena's heart has long been twisted, and she still seems to have some strange feelings for Herbert...
Helena didn't die, so I'm not sure when there will be some trouble.
Think about Carula's feelings...
Herbert's emotional line always felt something was wrong.
Aldridge asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
"I don't know yet," Herbert squeezed his fist and stared at the ground dully. "At the moment, I want to pay more attention to the orphanage."
"Where's the Zhanlang?"
Herbert just shook his head, it seemed that he would not go back.
"Alright," said Aldridge, "although Mrs. Murphy helped, Carula was working hard alone."
Looking at Carula's figure in the house, Herbert said in a low voice, "I've been out in the past few years, and I owe a lot. Carula has always been frightened."
Aldridge asked, "Is the orphanage still financially available?"
He asked a very real question.
Although the sea is dangerous, Herbert's income as a first mate is still considerable, at least he has supported the orphanage's economy for so many years.
If you don't go to sea now, what will happen to the orphanage's financial resources?
Looking at the children playing in the yard, Herbert was silent for a while, and said, "I will find some work in a while."
Aldrich bluntly said, "There are not many job opportunities in the city...and the income is not as good as in Shanghai."
This kind of realistic communication cannot be mixed with fantasy, and in the context of the orphanage, Aldridge will not be 'kind'.
He didn't lie either. In the current social context, the steam engine is changing the social structure, and unemployment is simply a normal thing.
A stable job?
This is something that too many people desire!
Of course, Aldridge didn't say this for nothing. He suddenly had some ideas, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.
Then he said, "Herbert, I have a proposal."
"Um?"
Aldrich said half-truth, "I'm a Beyonder, and I don't plan to stop myself."
Herbert looked at him suspiciously, what does this have to do with him?
Aldrich continued, "I need a lot of materials, so if you don't find a suitable job... Can I hire you to help me find, buy, and ship materials to other cities?"
Herbert hesitantly said, "If it is to cultivate potions, there are not many materials needed, right? Although it is indeed difficult to find..."
Aldridge said, "Besides that, I'm a potion researcher, so I often need a lot of different materials."
This is not false. After the mysterious Holy See begins to accelerate its development, the city of Spurzi alone cannot meet his demand for materials.
It's not just a matter of the type of material, but also a safety issue.
What's more, he didn't have time to run around in various cities to find materials. As for the people inside the mysterious Holy See...
It's the time to build majesty, and getting them to accept that there's not enough material in the organization isn't a good thing right now.
And the 'outsider' who doesn't know his details and can be trusted is a better choice.
"Potion researcher?" Herbert was not familiar with this term, and after chewing it, he suddenly said, "That's why you catch 'mystery'..."
Hmm...you don't seem to be wrong in thinking that way.
There are two kinds of potion researchers, one is to study cultivation potions, and the other is to study war potions.
None of it is an easy job, but just in terms of cost... the cost of researching and cultivating potions will be higher.
Because of the need for 'mystery', and there are a lot of them, unless it is a big power or a mine in the family, there will be almost no such people.
Aldrich suddenly remembered and asked, "What about those fish fishers I caught before?"
He remembered catching three.
Herbert said embarrassedly, "I thought you were dead and left as soon as you landed..."
"Okay." Aldridge sighed helplessly.
After so many days, it is estimated that those sailors who know the extraordinary have already been hacked.
But thinking about the pile of storm naga he harvested, Aldridge doesn't feel bad for those ordinary 'mysteries' either.
Returning to the topic, Aldridge said to Herbert, "The reward will not be less than at sea, and the amount of materials each time will not be too large."
"How?"
Herbert pondered for a while, and said, "Let me think about it and give you an answer in a few days."
Aldridge had nothing to do with it. It was a temporary idea. He could also improve the plan while Herbert was considering it. Even if Herbert disagreed, he could re-plan according to the plan template.
Carula led Eve over, handed the bag to Aldridge, and pouted, "Are you finished talking?"
Aldridge shrugged and said, "It's over."
He gave Herbert a look, took Eve's little hand, lowered his head and said softly to her, "We're going home, let's say goodbye to Mrs. Murphy and friends."
Eve nodded and looked at her friends in the yard.
They had gathered around for a long time, with indescribable envy in their eyes, but the big smile on their faces was full of joy, chattering happily for Eve.
"Sister Eve, you have to come back to see us!"
"Eve..."
Karula clapped her hands and said, "Okay, say goodbye to Eve!"
The children immediately said in a high voice, "Goodbye, Eve!"
Eve held Aldridge's big hand, and she burst into tears as she laughed.
