Chapter 316: Remuneration and Requests
Sequence 1 of the "Hunter" path was originally called "Conqueror", and when you hear the name, you think it is related to war...... And listening to the Emperor's tone of almost directly treating that seal as a "magic potion", he should know how to restore extraordinary items to their characteristics and remove the contamination in them.
I just don't know if he will write it down in his diary......
Crane sighed as he learned the name of another Sequence 1, and his thoughts diverged.
At this time, Abner saw that Mr. "Fool" was paying attention to the diary he had handed in, and he recalled the contents of it, and could not help thinking in his heart:
Maybe Russell's guess was not wrong, the Sauron family either had no angels at that time, or the state of the family angels was very poor, so they were calculated by a "living" seal, which led to the demise of the dynasty.
When it comes to the "hunter" approach, although most of the first thing that comes to mind is its "provocative" work...... But he ignored that the high-level extraordinary people in this path are also top-level "conspirators"!
Without the protection of the angels, it is not incomprehensible that the Sauron family is being calculated by an almost top-level "conspirator".
On the other hand, Crane, who came back to his senses, restrained all the emotions in his heart, restored the calmness and leisure of the "fool", and let Russell's diary disappear in his palm.
He knocked on the edge of the long bronze table, looked to the side, and said:
"Mr. 'Tower', you did a great job and settled the Baker in less than a week. My family and I are deeply satisfied with this. ”
Is Beckron dead? So fast? Alger, the "hanged man", was far away from the island in recent days and had not received the corresponding information, which was quite surprising for a while.
He had never doubted the ability of the "tower", but he still didn't expect it to be so fast...... In his mind, assassinating Beckron was no easier than killing Ziringus.
"It is my pleasure to satisfy you, Mr. Fool." Abner replied humbly.
Miss Justice said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fool...... I had just contacted someone when Mr. Tower had already completed the task...... Didn't get to help. ”
"It's a commission, not a help, don't care." Crane chuckled.
"Justice" Audrey pursed her lips when she heard this, pondered for a few seconds, and kept repeating a voice in her heart: Be honest, not greedy, Audrey, you have to stick to your own principles!
Suddenly, she exhaled, and the corners of her mouth outlined a light smile:
"No, I owe you...... No, you owe your dependents a reward. I wanted to repay it through this commission, but I couldn't do it......"
Owe me compensation? Didn't I ask her for £2,000 in my capacity as a dependent? Well, Miss "Justice" means that all of Ziringus' bounty was taken by her? So even if it's half a point, she's still 3,000 pounds short of me?
Crane's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was hesitating how to speak, when he heard Miss "Justice" continue:
"The bounty of 'Lieutenant General 'Hurricane' Ziringus in all countries is thirty thousand gold pounds, and I owe it to your dependents that I should give you ten ten thousand pounds...... However, if I withdraw too much cash at once, the bank will definitely do some investigation...... So I am going to pay your dependents 1,000 pounds after this meeting, and then I will pay off the remaining 12,000 pounds in four months...... Mr. Fool, is that okay? ”
After saying that, Audrey felt that the small stone in her heart was finally gone.
Although it is not appropriate to discuss money and calculate the reward in front of Mr. Fool, I cannot hide the gains of His Favorite...... Audrey sighed silently.
As for the large plantation worth more than 8,000 pounds, because it came from Duke Negan's gratitude for her reminder, it was a private thank-you gift, not a reward.
Divide me 15,000 pounds? Can I get another £13,000? Ziringers' total bounty turned out to be 30,000 pounds! Crane was stunned.
Immediately, he fell into a fierce psychological struggle.
It makes sense that I should have paid Mr. Azik, but I couldn't contact him for a long time...... Simply leaving money alone is a wasteful act...... It's better to use this money to improve yourself as much as possible, and when the time comes, you can help offset ...... Klein made his decision three seconds later, and bowed his head softly to Miss "Justice":
"Yes."
Hearing Mr. "Fool's" answer, Audrey's elegant sitting posture did not change, but her heart was completely relaxed, and she thought:
It's great that I can keep 2,000 gold pounds a month in my pocket money, which is not as rich as it used to be, but it is not too tight......
Crane, on the other hand, was in a very good mood because he had received more than 10,000 gold pounds for nothing, and although he had to wait a few months to get all of them, he looked at Mr. "Tower" again and asked with a smile:
"What kind of payment do you want to get as agreed?"
May the Goddess bless, Mr. "Tower's" request will not be too tricky, preferably within my current capabilities...... I've just learned a lot of great things from Russell's diary, and Mr. "Tower" would be the best if he needed it......
Crane silently prayed to the goddess, though he knew well that the goddess of the night would not hear his prayers because of the gray mist...... And Mr. "Tower" probably knows more than he does in terms of knowledge.
If I had asked you for 10,000 gold pounds, would you have cried to me on the spot? Abner sneered, glanced at Hugh diagonally opposite, nodded to the other party, and then respectfully said to Mr. "Fool":
"I want to apply for a one-man exchange."
Crane, who had been staring at the "Tower", naturally noticed his small movements, and after a little thought, he guessed what the "Tower" wanted to ask for, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and on the surface, he stretched out his finger and knocked on the edge of the ancient long table, cutting off the sight and hearing of the rest of the people between the "Tower" and the "Fool".
Audrey "Justice" and "The Hanged Man" Alger had also noticed "Tower" nodding at "Judgment" before, so they both guessed that his request must be related to Miss "Trial", but they were slightly curious about what kind of things still needed to be hidden from them.
Audrey took the opportunity to look at the others, and found that the "sun" was as blank as ever, as if it was out of place with everyone; The new "world" is very good at hiding its emotions and body movements, and has no valuable information at all......
As for Miss "Trial", she seems to be a little moved? Still feeling frustrated? Finally cheered up again? What a fickle girl.
Hugh was indeed a little moved at this time, but more because he felt that he owed Abner more favors - it had always been her goal to get Mr. "Fool" to accept Furth, but she didn't expect that it would be through Abner in the end.
Fortunately, if you have more debts, you don't have to worry, as long as you work hard, you can pay it off sooner or later! Hugh finally cheered himself up.
……
"That's it." Klein nodded to the "tower", indicating that it was now a state of individual communication.
"Mr. 'Fool', for the reward...... I have two requests. Abner said respectfully.
Two requests? It's really not that easy...... That's right, just solving the problem of the girl who suffered from the full moon is indeed not the same as assassinating the ambassador of a country...... And I've promised to shelter her before.
Thinking so, Crane didn't speak, just leaned back in his chair and made a gesture of listening.
"The first request is that I would like you to have Miss 'Judgment's good friend, Miss Forthth, join the Tarot Society." Abner organized the language, and spoke sincerely.
I want to say yes right away...... But there's really nothing I can do right now...... Fortunately, there are still a few days before the next full moon, and the young lady will be safe for a short time......
Well, with the gold pounds provided by Miss "Justice", the materials of the "magician" should be able to be collected in a short time, and maybe by the next full moon, I will be able to advance and be able to pull one more person into the gray mist......
In a flash of thought, Klein nodded deliberately and chuckled, "If the investigation passes, I will give her a chance." ”
It's just a chance, if I still can't advance by then, then I can only help her block the whispers for the time being, and I won't let her join the Tarot Society.
Abner naturally understood what the "fool" was thinking, but he didn't expect Furth to do it in one step.
With Klein's current commitment, as long as there are no major surprises, it will be a sure thing that Foirth will join Tarot...... Because of the butterfly effect of my appearance in this regard, I was finally pulled back on track......
With this in mind, Abner praised from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. 'Fool'. ”
Fooled over...... Klein quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said indifferently, "Tell me about your second request." ”
"I have a book that may be dangerous...... So I want to bring it to your kingdom to read...... Don't know if it's inconvenient? Abner asked, considering the words, the words were relatively "mild", and he did not want to intimidate Mr. "Fool" into refusing outright.
"Where does the danger come from?" Crane frowned, feeling that the "danger" that made Mr. "Tower" so cautious was probably not easy, and asked with the same cautious words.
"The book was only a manuscript, and the copied version was not the original...... However, its 'source' is supposed to be the same as the source from which Foirth hears the babbling...... According to my research, they are all from the ancestor of the Abrahamic family, Mr. 'Gate'! ”
Previously, Abner had no memories of the "Old Days" and thought that the danger might come from the "Primordial Moon", but after climbing the Grey Mist and recovering all his memories, he knew that it was not so easy for the Old Days to meddle in the real world due to the existence of the "Initial Barrier".
Russell had no problem with Mr. "The Door" for so long, not to mention that it was just a transcription of the Abraham's notes.
As long as you don't try to divinate or trace back to the source, even if there is a real danger, it can only come from Mr. "Gate" or the author of the note.
On the other hand, Klein's first thought after listening to the request of "Tower" was: "Mr. Door"? I saw the name of this man in Russell's diary, and he didn't seem to be as strong as the "Eternal Sun" or as good as the "True Creator...... So it's not a big problem?
