After saying goodbye to Spacey, Yi Chen was thinking about how to collect this "Skin Bible" while heading to the dressing room where Xiao Pu Tao was.
At first, I just held the "Skin Bible" in my hands, although there was basically no danger in Zion.
But considering that such an ancient and rare book might cause trouble if exposed directly to the outside, I tried to hide the book in the lining of the clothes.
Unexpectedly, the moment the cover was attached to the clothing, the entire book began to dissolve.
Gurgle gurgle~
Bubbling, pus oozing, and dissolving between the clothes in the form of a thick liquid, scared Yi Chen so much that he quickly asked Huang Pi what was going on.
As a result, when Yi Chen's brain had the "idea" of wanting to pick up the book again, the chest of his clothes turned into liquid.
Gulp~ accompanied by a sound of dry straw squeezed out from the depths of the old man's throat, the book emerged from the liquid.
I have to say that this thing is really convenient. Yi Chen can't even wait to go back and look through the contents.
Jessica's Dressing Room
Yi Chen knocked on the door gently. The person inside seemed to have smelled his scent and opened the door lock directly.
What appeared before us looked more like a utility room than a dressing room.
All the closets were cluttered with all manner of fabrics.
Various fabrics that need to be dyed and washed are floating between the multi-layer water tanks placed against the wall, and even moss fungi have grown between some of the tanks.
Following the scent of the little grapes, I came to the depths of the room.
Who knows, the clothes have been made,
A dark grey leather coat with lots of metal decorations has been put on Little Grape. The rivets, shoulder ornaments, brooches, decorative metal strips and the deliberately designed metal edges at the hem all show the "excessive characteristics".
The coat has a built-in hood, and when paired with a scarf with an eye pattern, it can completely cover the face.
The eye pattern on the scarf is actually a visual magic circle that can connect the eyeballs.
The lower body is matched with a pair of black trousers and metal boots, and the metal on the boots can also be used to highlight the extra characteristics.
"Little Grape is quite human~"
Unexpectedly, Little Grape did not retort this time. He stared at himself in the mirror and said, "It's really good. I like it very much."
In fact, he had thanked this special seamstress, Jessica, many times during the fitting process.
But Jessica didn't say much the whole time, and simply nodded in response to Little Grape's thanks.
Just as the two were about to leave,
Jessica adjusted her glasses and asked quietly:
"Excuse me, was your clothing made by Mr. Yin Wan? This special stitching method is only used by that old gentleman. Due to its high difficulty, it has been abandoned by mainstream tailoring."
"Do you know Mr. Yin Wan?"
“I don’t really know him. When I was a kid and followed my father to run a tailor shop, I happened to see my father and Mr. Yin Wan working together. He used this kind of stitching technique and I was deeply impressed.
Is he okay now
"With old injuries, I opened a shop on my own and only do business with people I know."
Jessica could tell that Yi Chen was intentionally hiding the location, so she naturally didn't ask any further questions. "If I have time, I will try to find the specific location. Thank you very much."
"Um… "
Yi Chen turned his back, raised his hand over his shoulder to say goodbye to the other party, and then left the Tailors Association.
However, his thoughts lingered slightly on Jessica.
Although the conversation just now was very brief, he could tell that Jessica's words contained basically no human emotions, and he couldn't sense any passion for life.
If I have to say,
The tone of voice is very similar to that of the orphans in the Montenegrin Orphanage who have completely lost hope in life.
"Living in such a world, even a genius would find life exhausting... Since she is also a candidate, we should have more contact in the future, so we'll talk about it then."
Because of the letter of recommendation from the archbishop, Little Grape quickly completed the registration for the prophet assessment after going to the Gentlemen's Hall.
Due to the special nature of the assessment, Little Grape needs to stay in the Gentlemen's Hall after signing up and undergo a week-long "surveillance life" to ensure that he has not taken any potions that can be used to enhance his perception during this period.
At the same time, they also need to sign a confidentiality agreement, and finally begin the assessment under the witness of several prophets of the organization.
Yi Chen didn't say much. After a simple goodbye, he left alone.
Since leaving the Seven Days Cemetery, the two have basically stayed together and have rarely been separated.
Yi Chen was still a little uncomfortable because Little Grape was missing. He always felt that there might be some danger in the blind spot behind him, so he kept looking back. It was not until he got on the train back to school that he slowly adjusted himself.
Next up is the next appointment.
To be honest, if he could refuse, Yi Chen would definitely lock himself in the room for a few days to read "The Skin Bible" carefully.
Unfortunately, if he delayed any further, he would probably incur the wrath of Deslin.
With the palm filled with starlight, he broke through the barrier of the principal's office.
Daisylin, wearing a dark long dress, was leaning on the sofa, with her extra-long legs and feet deliberately sticking out, corresponding to her 1.9-meter height, and a glass of self-mixed drink in her hand.
There was a cup left for Yi Chen on the crystal table in front of him.
"The restlessness in my heart is about to overflow. You seem to be very happy about meeting Spacey. Did you gain anything unexpected?"
Yi Chen knew that he couldn't hide it from Principal Daisylin, so he took out the leather Bible, perhaps he could get more information about the book from the principal.
When the wrinkled book emerges from the chest,
Deslin almost spilled the drink she had just taken a sip of.
"Spacey actually gave you this..."
"He just lent it to me for about a month. I will return it to him before I attend the First Gentleman selection."
"That's pretty good, too. This thing is the key to Spacey's position as the chief tailor. Even his students who teach tailors have never had the chance to see it.
Now he actually lends it to you, a gentleman you barely know. Even if Zed helps you to make connections, it is unlikely.
There's only one reason I can think of.
In the short time that Spacey has met you, he has already determined that you are very likely to be the next "First Gentleman", or he personally hopes that you will become the First Gentleman, so he lends you the book to help you achieve your goal.
Or maybe it just makes sense that I'm lending you the book because of the 'sacrifice' you're about to make."
"Haha~" Yi Chen just smiled in agreement. He didn't care about the reason at all, as long as he could get the book.
"William, this book is quite dangerous. Spacey was not like this before."
Daisylin waved her hand, and a young man with long flowing hair and British style appeared among the stars.
Yi Chen really found it hard to associate such a handsome young man with a wrinkled body that needed a corset to maintain its shape, and who looked like a 'fat pervert'.
"This book is originally from the Leather Field. Once you read the distorted ancient text, the Leather Disease hidden in it will induce a fundamental change in your 'biological essence' and transform you into a native species of the Leather Field. Be careful."
"Thank you, Principal Deslin, for your reminder."
"Put the book away first, it's time to talk business. You said you have some insights into star magic, can you show it to me?"
"OK."
Yi Chen put away the "Skin Bible", sat down next to Daisylin, picked up the wine glass on the table, and shook it gently and evenly to sober him up.
Just then,
Deslin noticed that the wine in the glass reflected a full moon and stars as it was shaken, and she was unconsciously attracted by the beautiful scenery. However, she soon realized something was wrong and quickly touched her eyes with her fingers.
The illusion disappears,
Yi Chen simply sat next to her and never picked up the drinks on the table.
"Hmm? The star illusion... there is another different attribute integrated into it, the moon? How did you do that?"
I don't know why,
Yi Chen's display of star magic made Daisylin excited. Perhaps it was because she had never seen such a talented person who was proficient in star magic in Zion.
Maybe it's because she has been looking for a confidant and now she finally found it.
Daisy turned around and faced the young man in front of her, even putting aside her dual identities as a prophet and principal, and began a formal and in-depth discussion based on her understanding of the stars.
