Chapter 136: Assassination under the first snow
"What do you want me to do, now I'm just an investigator of the Anomalous Bureau, with no power or power, and I don't have any decent resources at my disposal, and ...... I'm sorry for my life. ”
Sitting across from Nancy, it's time for the real talk.
The street lamp cast a light behind Donald, and his face still had some shadows.
"I'm not asking you to help me kill people, nor do I want you to be my informant in the Anomaly, frankly, your strength and status are not up to my requirements. ”
Now that the two sides have agreed on something, Nancy says what she wants from Donald,
"Your talent is very important, Goniz taught you to be familiar with this talent, just a few gold coins? You can't help but underestimate him, I need you to do me a favor with your control talent, this is a sealing array, you take a look." ”
A scroll with dark gold tapered heads at both ends was placed on the table and pushed towards Donald.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew on the sea beside him, and the waves were sudden.
Donald didn't rush to take it, looked at the scroll, supported his chin with one hand, thoughtfully.
"Donald, there's no such thing as a free lunch, you have to give something if you want it, and that's it. ”
There was a constant breeze blowing around, bringing all kinds of information into Nancy's ears, and there was no danger, so she looked at Donald and calmed down.
"I'm thinking...... People, if you want to be rich, you have to take a big risk!"
He pursed his lips, reached out and grabbed the scroll in front of him, and unfolded it directly.
Okowitz Spiritual Sealing!
This is the name of the sealing array listed at the top of the scroll, and the prefix Okowitz should be someone's name, such as the Bigby Powerful Attack Palm and the Bigby Vajra Fist he mastered.
It is not uncommon for someone to name a spell they create after their own name.
Below the name is a large section of text, including the casting steps of the sealing spell and an introduction to the structure of the magic circle.
"This magic circle, you have to learn it in two days, it is not difficult to learn itself, the difficulty is how to play and use this magic circle perfectly, your control talent, and this kind of sealing technique is actually the most suitable, if you specialize in sealing, maybe you will become a promising sealer, but I don't think you will make this choice, the sealer's single combat power is too weak, a powerful sealing array is not something that can be completed by one person, you don't have a wizard group, it's meaningless." ”
Nancy didn't deceive Donald, the latter's talent is indeed the most suitable for the kind of sealing technique, and the stable and delicate mental power output can save a lot of effort.
"What happens after you learn this spell?"
The gaze swept over this sealing technique, and the effect was biased towards the spirit seal, which could make the recipient's spirit fall directly into a deep sleep after completion.
In Donald's understanding, turning a person into a vegetative person is a complete loss of all five senses, which is no different from death.
"Two days later, contact this number, remember, two days, if you don't learn within two days, our cooperation is suspended, and you will be punished. ”
"It's just doing things, it's not good...... Your attitude is not right, you can't say that this sealing technique is a benefit you gave me, right?"
Nancy said that Donald was greedy, so he didn't advise greed this time.
"Don't worry, I'm a generous person, it's useless for me to keep those things, it's okay to give you something first, but you still need to help me pay attention to something. ”
She had been prepared for Donald's request.
By the time Donald returned to Tallinn, in addition to the Seal Scroll, he had another Spell Scroll with a small cyan rope tied to the outside.
This is a deposit for the first cooperation, and it can also be considered as a letter of nomination.
In the pocket of the coat was an extra palm-sized photo, which was the second thing Nancy asked him to do, and if he could do it, he would be paid.
Without any contractual constraints, just receiving a legacy from Goniz, Donald can't get rid of Nancy.
"How's it going?"
Before Donald could get off the bridge, Stephanie took the initiative to greet him and asked.
"It turned out to be okay, let's go, let's go back. ”
She didn't tell Stephanie about the deal, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
It was still Stephanie who drove, and the three of them and one cat left the edge of Tallinn.
On the other side of the bridge, after Donald left, Nancy sat by the river for a while before getting up.
"I know what you want to do, I'm helping you right now, aren't I?"
Holding the table with one hand, he lowered his head and muttered.
After a long silence, his left hand reached into a ponytail at the back of his head.
"It's at the limit, the body still has to be controlled by you, as long as the plan goes well, I can come out for a longer time, and it will be convenient to do things when the time comes. ”
The cord that bound the hair was removed, the strands of hair covered the forehead again, and the sparkle in the eyes dimmed.
There was no change in her posture, but at this time, Nancy seemed to be half a head shorter than before, and the momentum on her body dissipated invisibly.
"Nancy, thank you for helping me. ”
"No thanks, Natasha. ”
Two words, two voices, from the same person's mouth.
Raised again, staggering into the darkness.
Back at the villa, Donald said goodnight to Stephanie and went back to his room.
"Finger, ignition. ”
At the moment, the night temperature is only around 10 degrees, and the fireplace in the bedroom is the right time to use it.
A flame ignited the pyre in the fireplace, and Finger in the form of the fire elemental burrowed into the bed, and when Donald washed up, both the room and the bed became warm.
Lifting the quilt and sitting inside, leaning against the wooden plank at the head of the bed, he revisited the Oakowitz Spirit Sealing Technique.
Today's state is not good, and the previous words with Nancy made it difficult for Donald's mind to settle down, and it is not suitable for practicing spells.
Unwrap the teal rope and spread out another scroll.
"Storm Shield, level 3 defensive wind spell...... It seems that she does have the legacy of Goniz in her hands, the legacy of the dominant wind elemental wizard, tsk, as a wizard, isn't it nonsense to say that she is not blushing......"
Donald was currently lacking the right defensive spells, and this Storm Shield helped him solve this problem once and for all.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or if Nancy deliberately prepared it after hearing the conversation between him and Gonitz a long time ago.
Either way, this spell scroll and the previous seal scroll prove that Nancy should have the goods in her hands, and Goniz is her grandfather.
The inheritance is not so unbelievably real in her hands.
Meow~
Having orange-red hair and a hot glow, Finger emerged from under the scroll and curled up in Donald's arms, acting as a hot water pouch.
Place the spell scroll of the Storm Shield on the head of the bed and take out the picture in your coat pocket instead.
Photographic techniques of this era were still limited to black-and-white photographs, but the clarity was much higher than that of the cameras used in Pston.
The content in the photo is a person's eyes, and at first glance there is nothing special about it.
"By the way, she seems to say that she needs a magnifying glass. ”
Lifting the quilt, fortunately the clothes on his body were not completely stripped off, he trotted to the study to get a magnifying glass.
"What is this ......?"
Retracting into the quilt, turning sideways to place the picture under the lamp at the head of the bed, leaning against the magnifying glass, Donald noticed that there were some black spots on the lower left side of the eyeball, where the whites of the eyes should have been.
According to Nancy, Donald must notify her as soon as he encounters someone with this phenomenon in the photo.
She didn't say why, or who such a person is.
"What a nuisance. ”
Seeing that the clock on the wall was already pointing to 11 o'clock, Donald put the picture back in his coat pocket and turned off the lamp.
All that was left was the fireplace at the end of the bed, where the flames were still burning.
**
The first snow of 1918 came more than ever...... It's a little abrupt.
As the snow falls in the wee hours of the morning, snowflakes fall from the sky while people are still immersed in the warm mattresses.
It wasn't snowy at first, it was just to announce the arrival of winter in Demmingham.
Later, it may be because of the gloomy weather in recent days, and the snow is inexplicably getting heavier in the early morning, as it was when it snowed heavily in previous years.
In the courtyard of an ordinary villa in Tallinn, servants are cleaning up the snowflakes blown in by the wind in the corridor outside the villa, first using a wet mop soaked in hot water to melt all the ice that has formed due to the low temperature in the early morning, then using a dry mop to drag away the water stains, and finally carrying some small metal urns filled with charcoal ash to walk back and forth, so that the watermarks on the ground quickly dry.
In the bedroom on the second floor, the man had just woken up, and it was only 7 o'clock in the morning, and even the servants outside had only gotten up more than an hour earlier than him, and those companies or shops that had entered the winter time had not yet reached 8 o'clock working time.
There is still a small flame in the fireplace, and the temperature provided is not enough to warm the whole room, and the temperature outside the quilt is actually a little low.
But he still stood outside the quilt, his legs and heels together, his toes spread at 60 degrees, his body was always stiff, and the style of a soldier was fully revealed in him.
When he was dressed, he turned around and looked at his wife on the bed.
"Get up. ”
There were no good morning kisses, no doting smiles, and his voice was cold, colder than the snow outside.
Is the wife too ugly?
No, lying in the quilt is a woman who can be called a stunner and deserves to be pampered by a man for a lifetime.
She leaned on the pillow and looked out the window at the snow, a smile on her lips.
Breakfast consisted of two pieces of toast bread, an omelette, and two bacon sausages, which was definitely an unreasonable recipe for a high-ranking government official.
The man approached the chair and shook his hand from side to side on the belt buckle for about 2 seconds, then lifted it again, and his index finger and thumb pinched the tie and loosened it before he sat down.
A humble breakfast, he ate meticulously.
"Connery, it's snowing outside, it's a good time......"
She looked out the window at the snow and turned to look at her husband.
The man was stunned and said, "Don't look around when eating, it's too rude!"
That being said, his gaze subconsciously glanced at the window.
At this moment, a figure spinning and jumping forward suddenly appeared in the snow.
Whether it's a window frame, a window, or even a surrounding wall.
Destroyed in the blink of an eye!
Screams filled the entire villa......
On the fence outside the villa, a mechanical monkey with a cymbal in its hand is swinging back and forth.
