The witch Irene never misses meal time and comes back right after smelling the aroma of meat.
Locke brought the meatloaf to the table, and she was the first to enjoy it.
Hannah, who had no intention of eating, was also seduced by the smell of meatloaf. She put the letter in her coat pocket, sat down at the dining table, and watched the black cat begin to eat the meatloaf with its paws regardless of the image. The glutton in her stomach was also Got hooked.
She stretched out her hand, grabbed a meat patty, and took a big bite. The aroma of meat and onions filled her mouth instantly.
Erin's meow and Hannah's admiration sounded at the same time. One person and one cat looked at each other, indicating that they had met the same kind.
Locke also sat down in his seat with satisfaction, picked up a piece of meat pie and put it in his mouth.
【Ding! Feeding the witch was successful! 】
[Witch favorability +1]
[The current favorability of Witch Irene Mostia is 9/100]
In addition to the main meal, Locke also made two "desserts" for Miss Irene, the witch who is a big eater, sweet potato cakes made from sweet potatoes.
Of course, I won't give it to her during lunch time, but at afternoon tea or other times, in short, before dinner. I guarantee that I can feed her 5 times a day and gain 4 points of favorability.
After eating the meatloaf, Hannah hurriedly went out.
Locke also quickly put on his coat and followed Hannah's footsteps.
Erin smelled the sweet potato cake in Locke's pocket and took a leap to sit on Locke's left shoulder.
They first went to the mailbox to deliver the letter and then to the Compass Water Company.
The receptionist of Compass Drinking Water Company looked at the young man and woman with a smiling service attitude.
Because their audience is not the rich people in the West End, they will not look down on people wearing frayed coats. Moreover, this young man also has spare money to raise a cat, which proves that they are not very poor and may have a stable job with a good salary. .
"Dear gentleman, madam, may I ask what services you require."
"The cost of the drinking water company we use now is too high. I heard that the cost of Compass Water Company is very cheap, so I would like to know where the water source your company uses?"
Hannah asked with a smile.
The smile on the receptionist's face grew wider.
"Our water is indeed the cheapest in the entire capital. Our water source, like the drinking water company in the East District, comes from the Kosol River."
“Which branch is downstream?”
Locke asked directly.
The receptionist was slightly startled, looked at the boy with the pet, and replied politely,
"Sisi Branch, but don't worry, our water purification technology is recognized by the Kingdom, and we have relevant qualifications and certificates."
The Sisi River is one of the three branches of the lower reaches of the Kosol River in the West District. It runs through the Pet and Mar districts, as well as the Sisi District. The Mar and Sisi districts are the two poorest areas in the royal capital.
The receptionist found the certificates from the counter and showed them to Hannah and Locke one by one.
"Thanks."
Hannah looked at the certificate carefully, and if she had a camera in hand, she would even want to take a picture.
"Can you provide me with a glass of water? I'd like to taste it."
Hannah said.
The receptionist nodded with a smile and poured Hannah a glass of water from a disposable paper cup.
Hannah did not drink, but held the cup and pretended to chat with Locke. The two walked out of Compass Drinking Water Company while talking and laughing.
The receptionist frowned slightly, suspecting that these two people came here specifically to drink water.
"What bad luck."
He cursed secretly, picked up the latest Sun newspaper, and saw the news about a group of cats committing suicide on the pier.
Hannah walked 200 meters away from the Compass Drinking Water Company and handed the water glass to Locke.
Locke poured the water from the water glass into a small glass bottle, corked the wooden bottle stopper, and put it in his coat pocket.
He already had two bottles of water in his pockets.
The first bottle was water received from the public washroom of Old Tom's apartment, the second bottle was water provided by the receptionist of Compass Water Company, and there was an empty bottle left, intended to be filled with water from the Sesi River.
Once these samples are obtained, they can be sent to the nearest hospital for testing.
Although the medical conditions in this society are poor, alchemy is extremely developed. The hospital has many advanced alchemy equipment that can detect and test many substances. The test time does not even take an hour, but the cost is relatively expensive.
A test requires approximately 100 grams.
Normal people are simply not willing to spend so much money.
However, Locke has long found ways to save money.
If you happen to know the tester and know his preferences, you only need a pack of cigarettes worth 5 grams from Yorkshire and a tip of 10 grams, and you can ask him to do a free test for you and provide you with detailed information. test report.
Hannah and Locke came to the Sisi River. The water was not clear and the smell was only a little better than the old Joel Apartment.
"Don't stay here too long."
Erin reminded.
Locke agreed. He always felt that the place was dark and gloomy. He didn't know if it was because homeless people had been dumped here for a long time.
He took a bottle of water and left along the river with Hannah. Along the way, he also saw the Kosolk Prison and the Laszlo Alchemy Factory.
"When did a new alchemy factory be built here?"
Hannah asked confused.
"Two months ago, The Sun published information about their recruitment of workers."
Locke replied.
Immediately, both of them thought of the same point in a tacit understanding.
Could the problem of water pollution be related to the Laszlo Alchemy Factory?
However, it is not yet completely certain that the water source is contaminated, and we must wait for the test results to come out.
Moreover, the door of Laszlo Alchemy Factory is closed and will not be opened to the outside world. A high barbed wire fence isolates the factory from the surroundings. If you want to investigate the factory, you must go inside and find their wastewater treatment device and drainage outlet.
"Let's get out of here first."
Locke reminded Hannah. Hannah nodded and her eyes stayed on the Laszlo Alchemy Factory for a few seconds, as if to deepen the impression.
The two of them and one cat arrived at Pate Hospital, went straight to the upstairs laboratory, and found the familiar laboratory technician Enzo.
Enzo is from Yorkshire. He was obsessed with gambling and owed a large debt, so he fled to the royal capital of Kosolk. Now he has quit gambling, but he occasionally goes to the tavern because he patronized the "desire" that Locke once found. The two met and became friends.
"Enzo, good afternoon."
Locke took out a pack of York cigarettes from his coat and stuffed them into Enzo's pocket.
"Locke, you are so lucky. I am the only one on duty today. Come in and visit my studio. Oh, there is also the beautiful Miss Hannah and the lovely black cat. Come in and take a look together."
Enzo waved to the two of them and took them to the laboratory. After looking around to make sure no one saw anyone, he closed the door.
Locke handed three glass bottles to Enzo, and Enzo took out 10ml of each in a test tube for testing.
Locke looked at the various equipment in the laboratory curiously, and one of them, a huge machine with a round and wide belly that resembled the upper body of half a robot, caught his attention.
This metal lump, full of cyberpunk and mechanical beauty, has three red lights flashing on it, and a row of reagent card slots pop up on its abdomen.
Enzo placed the test tube into the slot and pushed the slot into the belly of the machine.
Hannah asked in surprise,
"Is this the latest alchemy tester?"
