The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 340 - 339 Star Discussion

Chapter 340: Chapter 339 Star Discussion

Chapter 340 -339 Star Discussion

After bidding farewell to Spacy, Yi Chen thought about how to secure the “Skin Sack Bible” as he headed to the Clothing Room where Little Grape was.

Initially, he simply held the “Skin Sack Bible” in his hand, and being in Zion, there was basically no danger.

But considering the trouble it may cause if such an ancient and rare book were to be directly exposed, he tried to hide it inside the lining of his clothing.

Who knew that the moment the book’s cover touched the fabric, the entire book began to dissolve.

Gurgling~

The book bubbled and seeped out, turning into a viscous liquid that merged into the fabric, startling Yi Chen so much that he hastily asked Yellow Skin what was going on.

The moment Yi Chen’s brain formed the ‘thought’ of wanting to retrieve the book again, the garment’s chest area transformed into a liquid flow,

Giggling~ Along with a dry, rasping sound squeezed from the old man’s throat, the book emerged from within the liquid.

It must be said that this item was really convenient, and Yi Chen was even eager to go back and peruse its contents.

[Jessica’s Clothing Room]

Yi Chen gently knocked on the door, which seemed to have already picked up on his aura and unlocked itself.

What lay before his eyes was more of a storeroom than a clothing room.

All the wall cabinets were haphazardly stuffed with various forms of fabric,

And among the multi-tiered water tanks lined up against the wall, various fabrics floated that needed dyeing and rinsing; some tanks even had moss and fungi growing on them.

Following Little Grape’s aura to the back of the room,

Who knew that the tailoring was already complete,

An ash-gray leather coat adorned with a lot of metal decorations had already been put on Little Grape, and the rivets, shoulder ornaments, brooches, decorative metal strips, and the deliberately designed metallic fringe at the hem of the coat all demonstrated the ‘Ember Characteristic’.

The coat came with a hood, paired with a scarf with an eye pattern that could completely cover the face.

The eye pattern on the scarf was actually a visual array that could serve to connect to the eyes.

Below he wore a pair of black trousers and metal long boots, which could also highlight the Ember Characteristic through the metal on the boots.

“Little Grape looks quite human-like~”

Surprisingly, Little Grape didn’t talk back this time; he stared at his reflection in the mirror, “Indeed, it’s very nice~ I really like it.”

In fact, he had already thanked this special female tailor, Jessica, several times during the fitting process.

But Jessica didn’t say much the whole time, and in response to Little Grape’s gratitude, she merely nodded her head.

Just as the two were getting ready to leave,

Jessica adjusted her glasses and asked softly,

“May I ask if your clothing was made by Mr. Ivan? This special stitching method was only used by that old gentleman, and because it’s quite difficult, it has been abandoned by mainstream tailoring.”

“You know Mr. Ivan?”

“Not really, I just saw him use this stitching technique at the association once, it left a deep impression.

Is he doing well now?”

“He has some old wounds, and now runs a shop on his own, doing business only with acquaintances.”

Jessica could tell Yi Chen was deliberately hiding the location and naturally did not press further, “If I have time, I’ll try to find the exact location, thank you very much.”

“Hmm…”

Yi Chen turned his back, raised his hand over his shoulder to say goodbye, and then left the tailor association directly.

However, his thoughts lingered slightly on Jessica.

Although their conversation was brief, he could tell from her words that Jessica’s speech contained almost no human emotions, without a trace of zeal for life.

If anything,

Her tone was very similar to that of the orphans in Black Mountain Orphanage who had completely lost hope in life.

“Living in such a world, even a genius would find it hard… Since she’s also a candidate, there should be further interaction in the future. We’ll talk about it then.”

Thanks to the Archbishop’s letter of recommendation, Little Grape quickly completed the registration for the Prophet examination at the Gentleman Hall.

Due to the special nature of the assessment, Little Grape had to stay in Gentlemen’s Hall for a week-long ‘surveillance life’ after registering, to ensure that he had not taken any medicine that could enhance his perception during this time.

At the same time, he was also required to sign a confidentiality agreement before the assessment could begin under the witness of several Prophets from the organization.

Yi Chen didn’t say much either, bidding a simple farewell before leaving alone.

Since leaving the Seven-Day Cemetery, the two had been together almost all the time, seldom separating.

Yi Chen was actually quite unaccustomed to this because without Little Grape, he always felt like there could be danger lurking in his blind spot, frequently looking back until he slowly adjusted to it after boarding the train back to school.

The next step was to attend another appointment.

Frankly speaking, if it were possible to decline, Yi Chen would definitely lock himself in his room for a few days to read the “Skin Sack Bible” seriously.

Unfortunately, if he delayed any further, he would probably provoke Principal Daislin’s wrath.

Breaking through the Principal’s office barrier with a palm gleaming with the luster of stars.

Principal Daislin, wearing a dark long dress and sitting on the sofa with her one-meter-ninety frame’s long legs intentionally propped outside, was also holding a cup of her self-mixed drink.

There was also a cup left for Yi Chen on the crystal table in front of her.

“The restlessness in your heart seems about to overflow, your meeting with Spacy appears to have pleased you very much, did you have any unexpected gains?”

Knowing full well that he could not deceive Principal Daislin, Yi Chen took out the Skin Sack Bible, perhaps he could get more information about the book from the Principal.

When the wrinkled book surfaced in front of his chest,

Principal Daislin nearly sprayed the drink she had just sipped into her mouth.

“Spacy actually gave this thing to you…”

“He simply lent it to me for about a month’s borrowing time. I’ll return it to him before I participate in the First Gentleman selection.”

“That’s also quite good. This thing is key to Spacy’s position as chairman tailor; even the students he teaches have never had the chance to lay eyes on it.

Now he’s actually lent it to you, a half-stranger gentleman. Even if Zede helped you make connections, it’s not very likely.

The only reason I can think of is one.

Within the short time of your encounter, Spacy has already decided that there’s a great chance you’re the next ‘First Gentleman’ or, personally, he really hopes you become the First Gentleman, therefore lending you the book to give you a boost.

Or, because of the ‘sacrifice’ you’re about to make, he lent you the book, and only that might make some sense.”

“Haha~” Yi Chen just laughed in agreement. He didn’t care about the reasons; all that mattered was getting the book.

“William, this book is quite dangerous. Spacy wasn’t like this before.”

Principal Daislin waved her hand, and a long-haired, dapper young Brit appeared amidst the star river.

Yi Chen found it difficult to associate such a handsome young man with the wrinkled skin man who needed to wear a girdle to maintain his figure, looking like a ‘pork belly pervert’.

“This ‘Bible’ is a thing of the Skin Market. Once you read the distorted, ancient text hidden within, the skin disease lurking inside will induce you to undergo a ‘biological essence’ transformation at the pathological root, reshaping you into one of the Skin Market’s original species. Be very careful.”

“Thank you for the warning, Principal Daislin.”

“You’d better keep the book safe for now; let’s talk about the official business~ You said you had some insights into Star Magic, could you show me?”

“Sure.”

Yi Chen put away the Skin Sack Bible, sat down next to Principal Daislin, picked up his drink from the table, and gently swirled it to aerate the wine.

At that moment,

Principal Daislin noticed that the wine in the cup reflected a semblance of the moon and stars during the swirling, unwittingly captivated by the beautiful sight, but she quickly sensed something was off and brushed her fingers over her eyes.

The illusion vanished,

Yi Chen was simply sitting beside her; he had never picked up the wine from the table.

“Hm? A Star Illusion… with a different attribute mixed in, the [Moon], perhaps? How did you manage this?”

For some reason,

Yi Chen’s display of Star Magic made Principal Daislin very excited, perhaps because she had never met someone in Zion who equally mastered Star Magic,

or perhaps because she had always been searching for a kindred spirit, and now she had finally found one.

Principal Daislin turned to face the youth before her, shedding both her Prophet and Principal identities, to engage in a formal and in-depth discussion about her understanding of Star Magic.
