    Oxford is also very lively at night, with bright lights and lights, just like the commercial street of Dunwall City.  Hugo looked around and found that there were basically all kinds of shops. Hugo even saw a weapons store full of heavy firearms. Although he had a hanging sign outside the store saying "For Academic Research Only", there was something fishy about it.  I¡¯ve seen too many.  "Flying Pavilion." Hugo found a two-story building that looked more like a restaurant and walked in.  To Yu Guo¡¯s surprise, the restaurant, which looked slightly dilapidated from the outside, was actually full of people even though it was not big.  And here nobles actually dine with commoners!  Hugo saw something he had never seen before in his life.  "I'm sorry, sir. There is only one seat left now. If you want, you can dine with this gentleman." A waiter in a bartender's uniform bowed to Hugo and pointed to the east corner.  Sitting there was the pimple-covered boy he had seen not long ago. Hugo touched his belly, weighed it up, sighed and nodded to the attendant and walked towards the boy.  "Can I sit here?" Hugo asked the boy.  The boy who was eating fish and chips didn't know what he was thinking, but he was startled.  "Whatever you want" the boy replied weakly.  "Huh? I remember you, you are the new student brought in by Professor Gavin!" The boy suddenly became energetic again for some unknown reason, and suddenly raised his head and said to Hugo.  "My name is Hugo, Hugo da Dunwall." Hugo said to the boy after he pulled out the seat and sat down, and also asked the attendant for a piece of fish and chips.  "My name is Antinomi." Antinomi stretched out the greasy right hand that had just held the French fries and wanted to shake Hugo's hand.  "Um" Hugo pondered for a while. Seeing that his fish and chips hadn't come yet, he reached out and took a fries from Antinomi's plate, pinched it and put it back.  Then I shook hands with Antinomia.  "What does this name mean" Hugo tried to break the silence and raised his eyebrows.  "Actually, I didn't use this name before Antinomi is a theory put forward by the great scholar Kant. It probably means that if a certain theory is accepted by the public, so will the other. But the problem is that these two theories are contradictory!  It is said that my parents divorced because of similar things, so my father changed my name to this." Antinomi said.  "Can you not say such a heavy thing so calmly" Hugo was holding a fries in his hand and dipping it in cheese. When he heard this sentence, he immediately felt that his stomach was half full.  "What about you? Why do you scream so strangely?" Antinomi asked.  "Not as sad as you My father hopes that I can become like Leonardo da Vinci, that even if I am born a commoner, I can do something good. I heard that your father is also a professor at Oxford?  "Hugo suddenly felt a little blocked when he thought about his old father, and quietly brought the topic back to Antinomi.  "He is a professor at our college." Antinomi seemed to have little respect for his own father.  "It sounds like you seem a little dissatisfied with him." Hugo picked up another piece of fried fish and put it in his mouth, chewing a few times and said.  The cod wrapped in a layer of flour was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The only drawback was that it was a bit hot after being fried. "It tastes pretty good," Hugo commented in his mind.  "He always thinks about making money, and the salary in the academy is not low anymore. He always wants more. So he keeps investing in those bourgeoisie, and sometimes sells alchemy formulas that can be produced on the assembly line.  And when he loses money, he takes it out on me!" Antinomi complained.  "That's really not very good" Hugo thought of his old father. Although he didn't make a few cents all day long, he was self-sufficient with his pension. It didn't matter how much money he got from himself occasionally.  .  "The real problem is that even if he makes money, he won't give me even a tiny bit of extra pocket money! Two years ago, I fell in love with a pair of leather shoes. During that time, he happened to make money, so I begged him to give me some money.  Buy it. Actually, I didn¡¯t have any hope, but he actually agreed and said he would buy it for me in a few days. But it¡¯s been two years since he bought it for me!  Looking at Hugo with a sad face, Hugo looked a little sad. He looked down at his shoes, stretched out his feet and said to Antinomi: "I have been wearing these shoes for three years." "Oh.  "I didn't expect Antinomi's reaction to be so cold. Yuguo suddenly felt that he was being sentimental.  "What's going on in this restaurant? Why do I see so many civilians and nobles eating and chatting together?" Hugo asked.  "You don't know? In fact, the main function here is not a restaurant, but an alchemist's reception."A place for various commissions.  My father didn't give me money, so I had to earn it myself" Antinomi seemed to be very familiar with this place. It turned out that she had been accepting commissions here. "Then what commissions have you accepted now?  "Hugo asked while eating. "Sleeping pills, dog-tail gun water and the like.  " Antinomi said. "Well, actually I don't know much about alchemy" Not only did I not understand, Hugo just heard about alchemy for the first time today. "Well Alchemy  It seems to have been passed down a long time ago, but in the past it was not much different from pretending to be a ghost. However, because the magic elements are now buried underground, many animals and plants absorb these powers and undergo some wonderful changes. Some plants are actually related to ancient alchemy.  Same as described in art books.  Spearweed, which looks like a spear, was one of the first alchemical plants to be rediscovered.  "Antinomy saw that Hugo knew nothing about alchemy, so he explained it roughly. "Actually, I suspect that in ancient times, magic elements solidified like now. Otherwise, how could there be alchemy?  pass down!  " Antinomi whispered again. "Okay So how are you doing with your sleeping pills?  "Hugo actually still seems to understand. "Um We have prepared the cyan neutralizer, and we have the water of Lake Heber. All we need is a few gunweed" Antinomi said with her fingers. "Then  Don¡¯t you even have the main ingredients?  "Hugo felt like he was furious now. This man is really the best, Hugo thought. "When I went to Lake Heber last time, I planned to pick some gunweed back!  But it was not found!  Now I can't afford anyone to protect me when I go collecting. The French family are all vampires!  " Antinomi roared. Antinomi's roar attracted the attention of a noble at the next table. Hugo slapped his forehead, thinking something was going to happen. The noble nodded sympathetically to Antinomi.  He nodded, and when he asked the waiter to pay, he also paid for the two fish and chips on the table. "Are they really all vampires?  Same as Rasambora?  "Hugo lowered his voice and said. "That's just a metaphor. It just means that they are very good at making money and making our money.  Rasambora?  I'm not that capable of building a relationship with them.  Besides, do you really think there are vampires in this world?  Even if it were true, a race like this that feeds on humans would have been wiped out long ago, just like demons.  "It seems that Antinomi does not know the existence of vampires. Hugo suddenly felt that he was superior to others, and incidentally labeled Antinomi as a "lower class person." "So what exactly is the business of the France family?  Hugo asked. "Head!"  "Antinomy looked around, leaned down, and said to Hugo in a low voice. "You paid to kill someone!  "Hugo felt a chill in the back of his head, why was the first person he met a murderer. "No, no, no!  I just hired someone I know, France, to protect me in collecting materials, you know, killing slimes and so on Although he asked for a high price, it was still a little cheaper than hiring two people, and although he  He is an assassin but also very skilled. He has never made any mistakes for me.  "It can be seen that Antinomi loves and hates that France. This reminds Hugo of Locke who is still in Dunwall City. If nothing goes wrong, he will soon be a soldier. No.  I don¡¯t know how long it will take to see him again. ¡°I¡¯ll go back after eating.  "Hugo picked up the tissue at hand and wiped the grease on his hands before going back. "Wait, wait!  Actually, I have something to discuss with you" Antinomi said immediately when she saw Hugo was leaving. "What's the matter?  "Hugo and Antinomi have just met. He can discuss anything with him. "Actually, I want you to help me collect dog-tail gunweed The commission fee for dog-tail gunwater is 100.  gold!  I can give you 10!  "This is what Antinomi had in mind. "Look at my small body!  How can I help you" Hugo patted his chest. Although he had been exercising, Hugo still looked a little thin. "You just need to throw a few fireballs with the magic crystal. There is only Sly there.  Mu.  "Antinomy said lightly. "Magic crystal?  You are kidding me, how could I have such a valuable thing.  Old Gavin¡¯s one is very valuable at first glance, how could I have it!  Besides, I don't know how to fireball.  "Although Hugo really wanted to earn these ten gold coins, in this case, Hugo could only stand aside and express his helplessness. In fact, if you think about it carefully, Antinomi's asking price was still very high. Hugo asked Locke to fight a Shi  Lime only gave out 20 silver coins, along with a few days of odd jobs.sp; "What, you mean you haven't learned magic yet?" Antinomi was very surprised. Judging from Gavin's attitude, it was obvious that he was very interested in Hugo. He didn't expect that Hugo hadn't learned magic yet.  "Okay then" Antinomi felt that she had no chance of getting these 100 gold coins.  "Actually, I know how to use a gun, can I?" Hugo thought of the strange state he was in when he shot John, and felt that as long as he could enter this state, he could easily kill a slime from a distance.  "Of course, of course! I don't want to rush up and fight with the slimes, reaching them from a distance is the right way!" Seeing Antinomi's ecstatic expression, Hugo guessed that Francei should have let him pass.  Several times of bait "The premise is that you can provide me with some slime gel, and I will use it to make a gun." Hugo said.
