"What are the observations?"

In the carriage on the way back, Louise asked seriously.

The "soothsayer" lady had already made her draft and confidently replied:

"Ambassador Intis, Beckron, slender and of medium age, not ugly in appearance, fond of rhetoric, extremely courteous to beautiful ladies......"

Louise nodded again and again, smiling and appreciating, "Yes, you have the potential to become a 'Faceling'. ”

"What the hell do you want me to do?" Catelyn asked curiously.

The corners of Louise's mouth were slightly hooked, and she smiled mysteriously:

"I want you to do a 'magic'."

…………

On Wednesday, Audrey made an appointment with Miss Forthth and Miss Hugh to explain her intentions directly:

"I have a mission that I need your help with."

"What task?" Hugh's eyes lit up and he seemed to smell the ink of the banknotes.

Audrey smiled politely:

"Assassination of the ambassador of Intis to the kingdom, Beckron. Let. Madan. ”

Furth, who had just spent four hundred pounds on the "Master of Tricks" formula and had saved up to send an emergency signal, couldn't help but frown, as if he saw hundreds of gold pounds flying away from his eyes with wings.

"We can't do it." She said dejectedly.

Audrey noticed Furth's hesitation, and dimple smiled shallowly:

"I don't want you to accept the commission yourself, but I hope that you will go to an extraordinary person who has the ability to complete it, such as Mr. A, for which I will pay a deposit of two thousand gold pounds, and if the task is completed, the final payment of up to eight thousand pounds will be given...... The details need to be discussed by the two of you. ”

"Whether or not the final mission is completed, I will pay you five hundred pounds for taking the risk."

…………

When she left Audrey's house, Miss Hugh frowned, and she suddenly stopped, and said in a deep voice:

"I don't think there's something right with this."

Furth turned around and echoed thoughtfully:

"The naïve, curious, and ignorant Miss Audrey would give an assassination mission, and the target is the ambassador of the Northern Continent powerhouse Intis, which in itself does not make sense."

"Then why did you say yes so decisively?" Hugh asked strangely, and just now, when she was still hesitating whether to accept the commission, Furth was the first to agree.

"Because Miss Audrey promised a generous enough pay." Firth said as a matter of course, and then, without giving Hugh a chance to refute, she continued to analyze:

"Whether this is a prelude to the disposition of aristocratic circles, or a premeditated prelude to war...... It doesn't have much to do with us, because you and I are just a microphone. ”

"If you and I just rejected this commission, I believe that Miss Audrey will not have any dissatisfaction, but then there will naturally be other people who choose to accept it, and the result will not change in any way, but the five hundred pounds of reward will fall into the hands of others."

"As for the risks that Miss Audrey speaks of, oh, how can there be a foolproof commission?"

"Becoming extraordinary is the biggest risk."

After listening to Forth's coherent analysis of why she had accepted the assignment, Miss Hugh had no objections, and she had been prepared to take risks since the day she became a bounty hunter.

Even though Mr. A is a member of the evil organization "Aurora Society", Hugh will not back down because of this, after all, this commission is not to ask herself to be an enemy of Mr. A, and the doubts in her mind mainly fall on another piece of information provided by Miss Audrey:

"Beck Lang will soon step down as ambassador and return to Intis, and on Thursday night he will attend a ball hosted by Louise, which is the best assassination opportunity."

The three fingers of Folth's right hand rubbed lightly, a habitual gesture of her writing and smoking, and a sign of her thinking, and after a while she spoke:

"You've always been very wary of Miss Louise, so you're worried that it's a trap designed by Louise and Audrey, and that their real target is not the so-called Ambassador Intis, but Mr. A."

Giving full play to the power of the writer's image, Firth's thoughts are smoother:

"If this plan, which only exists in your imagination, fails, Mr. A doesn't die, or Mr. A is killed by Louise, and the rest of the Aurora Society comes back to the door, we'll be the first to bear the brunt...... Is this something you're worried about? ”

Miss Hugh looked like a ghost and asked in surprise, "You...... How do you know? ”

Instead of explaining, Forth reached out and tapped Hugh's forehead, and asked in a serial manner:

"Then have you ever thought that the news that Mr. A belongs to the 'Aurora Society' comes from Miss Audrey's information, have you ever thought that you and I am now carrying a huge sum of two thousand pounds, and if Miss Audrey wants to harm us, we need to pay such a big price?"

Miss Hugh touched her head and muttered in a low voice:

"I didn't suspect Miss Audrey, I was worried about ......"

"I'm worried about Miss Louise." With such an expression, Furth said, "Your prejudice against Louise is a little heavy, and we have known her for a long time, isn't life normal?" ”

"Even the two of us got the Sequence Eight potion recipe, and we're one step closer to our respective goals."

"Well, maybe I'm overthinking." Miss Hugh nodded.

Relationships between people often depend on first impressions, and Louise made a particularly strong impression on Hugh, which made Hugh always wary of him, but Firth's analysis was not unreasonable, and she habitually chose to obey.

…………

After the communication with Mr. A, Furth and Hugh glanced at each other, and both saw the same doubt in each other's eyes.

It was not that the exchange had gone badly, on the contrary, it had gone very smoothly, and the price offered by Mr. A was the highest remuneration that Miss Audrey could accept, as if the two parties had already negotiated...... The deposit of 2,000 pounds is delivered on the spot, and if the task is completed, there will be 8,000 pounds to follow, and if the mission fails, the 2,000 pounds will not be refunded.

"Five hundred pounds, that's it?" Furth couldn't believe what she had spent so much effort writing the book for, and that she might as well complete a commission from Miss Audrey......

"I think so." Hugh replied solemnly.

In the Joe Wood district, at the home of the two, Furth was lying on the sofa, and suddenly sat up in shock from a dying illness, and said:

"I think we should go to a safe house and come back when this is over."

Hugh did not pay attention to it immediately, but held in his hand an invitation that he had just found in the mailbox, and when he was done, he turned to Folth and said:

"I don't think that's necessary."

Foirth took the invitation, and it was simple:

"I cordially invite Miss Foirth and Miss Hugh to the ball to be held this Thursday night at 59 Agram Street."

"Your friend, Louise Best."

"What does that mean?" Furth took two deep breaths and asked.

Miss Hugh replied with a serious expression, "Louise's invitation, Thursday night's ball." ”

One is a former aristocratic lady, and the other is a well-known writer, so she is naturally no stranger to balls, but tomorrow's ball, if nothing else, there will be a battle between the extraordinary, why invite us two "microphones"?

"Go?" Foirth waved the invitation.

Miss Hugh got up and said, "I haven't gotten five hundred pounds yet!" ”
