Chapter 20 - ch 20

I woke up this time without any bad dreams suprisingly.

I then stood up and did my average morning routine once again.

When i ate my bread again i really thought if i should try to look if theres any other food you can eat for breakfast although its okay i really miss cornflakes a bit.

I should also think about getting a newspaper subscription then i dont have to buy one daily.

And because i always buy them only after my breakfast i read everyday the newspaper that were made yesterday which although not a big deal i do think that it would be better if i had a subscription since i would just need to go outside everyday and get the newspaper out of my mailbox then.

After my breakfast i went ahead and went outside to drive the carriage back to edward.

I hope the gun delivery i did yesterday is a one time thing and he doesnt make me do it everytime because once the risk is low but if i were to do it multiple times it would become risky.

I wonder when i will digest my potion maybe i should try to gather the beyonder ingredients beforehand since it might take a while to get them.

Should i try to join the gathering of the eye of wisdom? i think to join it klein went to a bar called bravehearts or something atleast there was a guy who then introduced klein to the beyonder gathering.

But im unsure how exactly it worked.

I soon arrived at edwards home i knocked at his door and waited for him to open it.

"good morning viktor its nice to see you so soon in the morning"

"can i come in?"

"of course"

"edward i wanted to ask you for the sequence 8 formula"

Since i want to collect the ingredients early i should quickly get the formula.

"the main ingredients are 10 milliliters of demon worm blood and one eye of a wendigo"

"the supplementary Ingredients are 60 milliliters of blood it doesnt need to be anything special it can be from anyone and 6 Gold Mint Leaves"

"thanks for the formula"

Well the the supplementary Ingredients are easy to get but for the main ingredients i need a beyonder gathering.

"no problem also although i said that you need to get the ingredients alone this time i found that i still had 10 milliliters of demon worm blood i can give it to you"

"wait really that would be great"

"of course every gift comes with a price as a price i hope you can continue with smaller tasks like the cartons yesterday im sure thats a fair deal right?"

Well i could have guessed that theres a catch but i guess it isnt the worst since as my teacher he could have also just given me such errands from time to time and i would have most likely accepted them.

"of course theres no problem with that i just hope they arent to risky"

"i wouldnt risk my precious student for something like that so dont worry"

I wonder is there anything i should still ask him since im here maybe i should ask him if he knows about the beyonder gathering from eye of wisdom or atleast the braveheart bar.

"edward do you know about an bar called bravehearts i heard that theres an information seller who has connections to a lot of people"

"yeah i do know about that but from who did you hear about something like that?"

Well now i just need to try to get him to tell me his name of course it might not be the same person from the novel since there might be more information sellers in the bar but maybe he is the one im looking for.

"when i was in the gun range i heard two people talking about that and i thought that it would be useful to get to know someone like that could you introduce me to him?"

"well it is useful to have someone like him i dont need to introduce you just go to the bravehearts bar and ask for Kaspars Kalinin at the bar when he is here the bar keeper will tell you when you go to kaspars tell him the old geezer introduced you"

Wait im sure thats the guy that klein meet to get into the beyonder gathering now that i hear it im pretty sure the old geezer password was something that was needed before.

"could you also tell me where the bravehearts bar is?"

"its near backlund bridge its not to far from here"

"okay thank you for your help teacher i will be going now"

"or wait edward could i ask you for a favour?"

"what is it viktor?"

"if you dont need to give the rented carriage back immediately than can i borrow it to drive to the bar?"

"fine you can take it but you need to come back within one hour"

"thank you"

I went to the carriage and got on although i never saw the backlund bridge personally i do know where it is located from the previous viktor and although it isnt to far away i found it a lot better to have a carriage like that compared to finding a carriage driver.

I began to drive to the backlund bridge quite fast and soon arrived.

I wonder how much i will need to spent today i did take 15 pounds with me so i just hope he doesnt say some bullshit price.

I needed to look around a bit but soon found the bar but when i wanted to enter i saw a sign saying that they are currently closed and the time that they open was also on the sign and it first opens in 1 hour.

So i decided to take my carriage and drive back to edward so i can then drive back to the bar with a carriage driver since i only had one hour with the carriage from edward i couldnt just wait.

I really am and idiot i really expected a bar to be open in the morning although the bar only opens up in an hour its still quite early for a bar is it maybe because of the informants in the bar that the bar opens early?.

I arrived back as quickly as i left i knocked on edwards door so i could let him know that his carriage is back.

"hm youre quite quick viktor didnt think that you would arrive so quickly to the bar to see that its still closed"

Edward said that with a smile on his face it seemed like he enjoyed seeing me waste time.

"youre carriage is back again i will be going now"

I went and found a carriage driver and went back to the backlund bridge on the entire way i was still mad at my stupidity it made me think that i should work on my common sense.

When i arrived back the bar still took around 15 minutes to open so i decided to go on a walk to calm my anger at myself.

The backlund bridge was quite big and also quite nice to walk if you could ignore the loud noise from carriage drivers sellers and the many tramps and i mean many tramps.

On my walk i almost walked over one that sleept near a street side.

On the backlund bridge there were even more tramps than in the east borough well i guess most or atleast a lot of those tramps come from east borough but its still insane how many more there are.

Although i dont feel to much empathy right now its not because i cant but rather because there are just to many of them for me to feel something other than it feeling unreal.

I wonder what my feelings will be once i drink the sequence 8 potion how much will they change.

On the way i also saw quite a few cats some of them ran away once i saw them or approached them but a few were quite nice and i was able to spend some time with them.

I soon decided to walk back since it should have opened some time ago of course i needed to hope that kaspar was already there if not i might just need to spend my entire day near the bar.

When i arrived i went straight to the bar keeper.

"one southville beer please"

"5 pence"

I gave him the money and lifted up the cup and took a swig It was cool and refreshing first bitter and fragrant but later the flavor of malt burst out. It had a slightly sweet aftertaste. 

"im looking for Kaspars Kalinin is he here already?"

"yes he just arrived hes in billiard room 3"

Fortunately he was already there it seemed like hes quite professional to be here instantly after it opened.

Although i wanted to go immediately to him i decided that i should first finish my beer before that.

After i only had a bit left of the beer i drank it in one big gulp down and went to the billiard room.

 when i arrived i only needed to give The billiard room door a light tap and it went open.

I went inside without knocking or asking lets hope he isnt some wannabe mob boss who says that i dont have manners.

"Im looking for kaspars kalinin the old geezer introduced me"

Upon hearing this, a fifty-year-old man with a big nose and a linen shirt said in a deep voice "thats me what do you need kid?"

He had a huge twisted scar running from the corner of his right eye to the side of his mouth, and his nose was a typical brandy nose one thats almost completely red. 

"i want to get into touch with people beyond human limits do you have a way for that?"

The old man looked to be a bit hesitant.

"its possible come back tommorow but expect to pay me for the help and also for whatever the reason might be you want to meet such people i cant guarantee anything"

"what time should i come?"

"8 am dont be late"

With that i went outside again got myself a carriage driver and went home although i dont like that he didnt say how much money he expects for the introduction if he tries to scam me i might just not pay him.
