Chapter 31: Gentleman Shooting
"Is there anything else to say about that?" Varina was a little confused, "Listen to what you mean, it seems that choosing the Golden Pound will affect my promotion to a certain extent?" ”
"That's right."
"Actually, many very experienced peripheral members don't have a chance to be promoted to 'Assassin' because this multiple-choice question is not done correctly. Of course, there is no obstacle for you to become an 'Assassin', but it is still relevant to your subsequent promotion. ”
Figoro played with his fingers and explained:
"It's a choice that is about your own intentions, and your attitude can be reflected in the choice, the pursuit of extraordinary attitude."
"This is a task to test your determination, if you still choose the honorarium, it means that your determination to pursue the extraordinary is not enough, but more for pleasure, after all, the potion recipe is in the hands of the sect, not just gold pounds."
"You know, when you show the right attitude, the denomination is very generous."
Looking at Varina, who suddenly realized, Figoro smiled, "I don't tell anyone what I say from the bottom of my heart." ”
"How's it going, have you thought about it?"
Figoro said it so bluntly, and the implication was naturally that he gave Varina special preferential treatment.
He's adding to a possible future request.
Varina didn't hear that.
He just felt that although Figoro might have some bad taste, he was really enthusiastic enough to give reasonable advice, so he nodded, "Of course I want to show the best attitude to the sect." ”
Figoro clasped his palms together and said with a smile: "Good choice, I wish you a high sequence." ”
"There's nothing I can do to help you then, unless...... You also want to make some extra money. ”
Varina certainly has no intention of doing so, at least not for the time being.
He got up from the sofa and said, "In that case, then I'll leave first, I hope Ms. Qili can come and help me get promoted sooner." ”
……
After coming out of the Ketra Law Firm, Varina felt a lot more confident and temporarily decided to change to another place.
He's going to join a shooting club and practice target shooting.
Ever since he bought the revolver from Caspars, he'd been playing with it with his hands on empty ammunition, and he had long been familiar with the weight and feel of the gun, just before he really practiced his head.
He had considered this before, but at that time he had not yet found a way to obtain the recipe, and he was not sure how much gold pounds it would cost, so he did not dare to spend his limited funds on it.
But now the situation is different, according to Figoro, it should not be difficult for him to obtain the recipes for the "Assassin" and "Instigator" potions now, so naturally he has to make full use of the funds in his hands to improve his abilities.
As for the choice of the club, he had already made up his mind, which was just a block away on Balft Street.
Having made up her mind, Varina walked down the street, her wandering gaze filled with purpose.
Soon, he found a cloakshop.
He was now wearing a cheap formal suit that was barely enough, and he was inconspicuous on the streets of Joewood, but if he went to join a shooting club like this, it would obviously not fit the level of clothing.
So, the first thing he had to do was to change his outfit, a tuxedo formal suit and matching shirt, top hat, leather shoes, as well as walking sticks, pocket watches and wallets.
Only then would he look like a truly decent gentleman, and his entry and exit from a mid-range shooting club would not be noticeable.
77 Movas Street, Faro Cloak Shop.
"What do you want to buy, sir?"
Seeing Varina push the door in, a male clerk in a white shirt and red vest greeted him and asked polite questions.
In the Kingdom of Rune, because the gentlemen of status, power, and wealth liked to wear white shirts, black vests, black pants, and black formal suits, which were quite monotonous, the male servants, clerks, and waiters were required to wear bright colors or colorful colors to show their differences.
On the other hand, ladies and ladies wore dresses of different colors and ornamentation, so that the maids could only be black and white, or white and black.
Varina didn't rush to answer, but first looked around the layout of the entire store, and the overall impression was okay, and then replied:
"I want a full tuxedo suit, including a matching shirt, top hat, leather shoes and walking sticks, and the budget is within 10 pounds, you can recommend it."
When the clerk heard that it was a big business, the smile on his face became more sincere, "Sir, please wait a moment, I'll take you to choose." ”
The clerk began to walk around the store with Varina.
"Sir, this suit ......"
"Sir, these shoes ......"
"Sir, this ......"
After a circle, the clerk held a pile of clothes in his hand, and said with a smile: "Sir, I have already calculated, this one will cost 10 pounds and 3 sules." ”
"As I said, my budget is under £10." Varina gave a look of displeasure.
He knew that this would be the result of asking the clerk to help him choose.
But he still chose to do it, because it was enough to save worry and speed, and as for the extra money, it can only be said that this is the price that must be paid for peace of mind.
Seeing Varina's expression, the clerk made another quote and calculation, "...... Sir, considering your budget, I have put together some concessions for you, and now the total price is 9 pounds 17 soles, do you see that you are still satisfied? ”
"So be it," Varina knew very well, and with a shopping style like his, there was no need to think about counter-offering, "Is there a fitting room here?" ”
The clerk hesitated and replied, "Well, sir, there is a fitting room...... That ......"
"Where?" Varina flashed a £10 bill and blocked the clerk's nonsense.
Ten minutes later, Varina, a decent gentleman, walked out of the farro cloakshop, carrying a paper bag of cheap formal wear in one hand and a gold-encrusted walnut cane in the other.
Varina then bought a cowhide wallet and a silver pocket watch with a silver chain in a department store, which cost him about two pounds.
Balft Street, 7, Shure Shooting Club.
After registering with Varina, who had previously been sentenced to two people, and after paying an initial entrance fee of £15, he received the corresponding voucher and became a member of the club for one year, and the subsequent membership fee of £3 per year.
Members can use the club's underground shooting range and firearms for free, enjoy the coffee and tea provided by the club for free, read the newspapers and magazines ordered by the club for free, and purchase ammunition for training at a discounted price.
It is worth mentioning that the purchased bullets can only be used for target practice in the club and cannot be taken away, and the club has a special person to check in this regard.
Varina picked out a revolver with a similar feel, bought another 30 rounds, and began his first shooting practice at the underground range, starting with a 10-meter target.
Looking back at the shooting essentials pieced together from memory, Varina fired the first shot.
Then, unsurprisingly, it missed the target.
Varina learned her lesson, thought for a moment, and fired a second shot.
Still off target.
……
A little more than an hour later, Varina walked out of the Shure Shooting Club with a faint smile.
In the last seven shots, he made it to the target, which is very good progress.
