​​

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 ~lightnovelpub.net~ 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.
