Chapter 9: The Powers of the Assassins
Joyce, who had taken off his disguise, bought a glass of Frank Lunzi for a sule, a popular drink that had the advantage of being strong enough, and many of the customers in the bar had it on their tables, making it impossible for him to tell who was at the party.
He sat in an unmanned booth with a wine glass in his hand, and the two men next to him were chatting happily, completely oblivious to the fact that there was another person around him.
Smelling the pungent smell of alcohol and taking a sip, it was like two pots of water mixed with water, Joyce frowned and pushed the wine glass slightly away, indicating that he couldn't accept it.
The bar can be called a mix of people and snakes, such as the two big brothers around him. The two of them were drunk, one said that he had drunk with the "Admiral of the Stars", and the other was even more outrageous, boasting that he had been a crew member of the "King of the Five Seas", participated in many naval battles, and beat the enemy to the ground, highlighting his own contributions, as if he had become the king of the sea.
The small oak bar, with its two great talents, Joyce almost burst out laughing, got up and went to the bartender to buy a glass of Vados, which cost two soles and three pence.
The golden, foamy Vados enters the throat, and the aroma of wine and fruit overflows, which makes people sigh that there is a reason why it is expensive.
But the wine has been bought, where's the party time? Didn't anyone tell me? It's so embarrassing that I gestured to the bartender with my eyes just now...... Joyce felt like a clown, and besides, he didn't find anyone who bought both at the same time.
Could it be that I misunderstood...... No, the time of the party must be hidden in the wine, do you want me to drink it all?
Recall what the "balance" said, there are no clues, continue to trace the ......
There you go, the card game.
The price of two glasses of wine adds up to three sucks and threepence, so the meeting time should be three o'clock in the afternoon next Wednesday.
Joyce, who had figured out a little secret, was relieved and raised his glass to take a big sip.
Then he knew why no one had paid for these two glasses of wine, because they only needed to know the price of the wine, and then they could just have a drink or just leave, except for himself who stupidly bought two glasses of wine and drank them......
After figuring out the trick, the wine he had just drunk suddenly became less fragrant, he put down his glass and walked out of the bar door with a blank face.
A carriage with an ordinary appearance and luxurious interior drove smoothly down the street, and the pedestrians on the road avoided it, and Joyce leaned against the soft plush cushions in the carriage, his eyes closed, as if he were sleeping, but in fact he was summing up his performance.
In fact, there is nothing to sum up, he didn't know that there was an extraordinary party today before he came to the bar, so he didn't think about his needs.
The instigator recipe for the potion had not yet been decided, but the party clearly did not have an extraordinary person with notary powers, and the idea of exchanging recipes or extraordinary knowledge was stillborn before it could begin.
The Assassin already had the most suitable weapon for his needs, but adhering to the principle of coming and coming, he tried to ask for a way to recover his memory, after all, the potion recipe that appeared in the original book was still very tempting.
Joyce took out the prayer ceremony that he bought for five pounds, and after reading through it, he could see that it was a very orthodox ceremony, but he didn't want to die yet!
In the end, the antiquities of the Quaternary were naturally purchased for the seat of the Tarot Society, and if the object corresponding to the red star on the source fort was bought, it would be blood gain.
At this point, a series of problems that came through him were basically sorted out clearly, and the next task: exercise ability, summarize the playing criteria, and digest the potion.
At the same time, figure out that "Witch" Emily is close to her own purpose and get the potion afterward.
Other than that, Joyce found herself seemingly with nothing to do.
As a nobleman who had just inherited the title, he did not have a precise position, and because of the unexpected death of his father, he had been away from the social center of Byam for a while, and had not yet announced his return, so he had to do something about it.
"You don't have to go back to the manor, just go to the training camp."
"Yes, Lord Baron."
When the coachman Karl agreed, he quickly turned the head of the carriage and rounded the nearby Rose Manor, and the carriage sped away towards the side and rear.
According to the laws of the kingdom, the right of the nobility to have private arms has long been outlawed, and of course, it is reasonable for a decent nobleman to have a trained guard.
This law works well in metropolises such as Beckland, but in a colony like Byam, private armies are a good solution in case of rebel attacks.
William Best, who is a lieutenant colonel, is no exception.
The training camp is located in a clearing not far from the manor, surrounded by a strong wall, and the guards hired by the Best family are training, and the "provocateur" Hunter taunts loudly from time to time:
"Hurry up! Hurry up! My eight-year-old daughter is faster than you. ”
It turns out that his provocative ability is used here...... Joyce kept smiling, refused Hunter's accompaniment, and expertly changed into his training uniform and walked into a spare training room.
What does a real assassin look like? Hide in the shadows, wait for an opportunity, hit with a single blow, and then run away. Or go on a rampage and kill everyone who sees you in the open?
No, that's an outlier among the Assassins, and besides, they die relatively quickly.
Based on continuous experimentation, it can be concluded that the "Assassin's" ability to hide in the shadows stems from the use of light, like a mirror reflecting natural light, when the human figure and the shadow merge into one, the darkness will engulf all the light, and the effect of stealth can be cleverly achieved.
Due to the limitations of Sequence 9 only, it is best for the "Assassins" not to wear brightly colored clothing, and dim colors are more suitable, such as night walkers.
In the corner of the training room, Joyce, hidden in the shadows, kicked her toes and leaped through the air like an arrow off the string, holding a dagger and leaving a white mark on the iron doll's neck.
A short period of body lightness and an instant burst of all the strength of the body, the two are added together, and the effect of one plus one is greater than two, and the power is quite impressive at the same time, but it is still not worth the rifle bullet, but it is a pity that the use of firearms is not conducive to playing the digestive potion.
Then, he did some physical fitness tests, and finally concluded that his strength had increased, his agility had increased significantly, and his defense was still weak, which was no different from ordinary people, and was in line with the identity of an assassin with high attack and low imitation.
Because of the greater emphasis on the improvement of the physical fitness of the extraordinary, the "Assassin" potion does not have the ability to consume a lot of spirituality, in other words, there is no strange mysterious side ability, which will not change until the "witch" of Sequence 7, yes, become a woman......
Why do I always remind myself of this!
Encouraging the sweaty guards and showing the approachable side of the "Lord Baron", Joyce returned to Rose Manor.
After eating lunch, I took a nap, and when I woke up, I couldn't help but sigh: the life of the aristocracy is so unpretentious and boring.
Judging by the random book taken from the shelf, the title is written in Hermesian: "Subconscious Travels".
Subconsciously, this is the ability of the viewer's approach, he looked at the author's signature, Bowy Dellaw, seriously recalled, did not have an impression, and no longer cared.
When he opened the page, the whole text was in Hermes, and at this time, he would like to thank the original owner for his careful study of the language course, which helped him master the Hermesian, Ancient Hermetic and the source of the languages of the Northern Continent - Gufersak.
The main character of the book is a ghost who can travel through dreams, and explains many psychological theories and conjectures to the reader in a witty exploration of dreams.
As he was engrossed, he heard a knock at the door.
"Come in."
Sophia pushed the door open and walked in, and said softly:
"Mr. Baron, tomorrow's itinerary has been arranged, what do you think else you have to order?"
Joyce thought to herself that you were more professional than me in this area, and encouraged:
"Nothing, you're doing well...... Well, help me find a box with a lock, it doesn't have to be too big. ”
"Yes, Mr. Baron."
After leaving the manor, it is better to take the extraordinary characteristics and notes left by my father with him. I didn't know it before, but now that I've found it, I always feel uneasy about leaving it here, it's a matter of mentality.
As it is written in the book, the most fearful thing in the human subconscious is not death, but the fear of the unknown, and when the content of the dream exceeds the expectation, the dreamer will wake up......
