Chapter 54: Unexpected calls
After Varina left, Marić asked into the air:
"Wouldn't it be too risky?"
"It's riskier not to do this," Sharon said in a rare and long sentence, "he's already found us, and we don't have a choice." ”
Marich thought about it and felt that it was right, either go and kill him, or he would have to change his position, these two options were worse.
They have already taken root here, and there are certain channels to listen to the wind and grass, and find out the pursuers of the Rose School in advance, if they are transferred, then all the previous efforts will be in vain.
As for killing, it's even less feasible.
They are not members of the "permissive" faction.
Thinking of this, Marić said:
"In two weeks, I should be able to find a craftsman to craft that extraordinary trait into a magical item, can you find the corresponding contract?"
Sharon nodded, "It should work." ”
……
On the way back, Varina analyzed Marić's answer.
If you want me to see him again before the full moon, I should have agreed, but it may require restrictions such as signing a contract, so a day in advance, so that I can help with the full moon?
Counting the time, there are still two weeks left before the full moon.
Varina remembers that in the future, after Miss Sharon and Crane worked together to kill the puppet master Rosago, she picked up the magical item corresponding to the "notary".
So at this time, they should not have the ability to restrict contracts.
Reasoning from this point of view, perhaps they are going to take advantage of these two weeks to attend a gathering of extraordinary beings and temporarily acquire this ability?
If so, what about 600 pounds?
600 pounds is either the tuition fee, or it should correspond to a magical item, generally a low-order magical item, the value is indeed around 600 pounds.
Varina counted his current balance and found that it was exactly a fraction of £600.
Almost all of the money he had came from stealing, including £150 for contract refunds, £80 for the docks' union office, and £30 for the Boiling Blood Bar Casino office.
In addition to this, there is also half of Eugene's fortune, cash plus bearer cheques, a total of almost 400 pounds.
Counting his expenses during this time, there are now just over 600 pounds left.
Marić's quote was so accurate that it was hard for him not to suspect that Miss Sharon had checked his family.
Of course, that is, to doubt it, even if it is affirmed, the money that should be given still has to be given, after all, I have to ask for others.
He could only hope that Marić and the two of them would not be too dark-hearted, and really charge 600 pounds for tuition and give nothing.
……
For the next three days, Varina went to the shooting club every morning to meet with Hugh.
Hugh's answer to him has not changed—the bosses of the Squirrels and the Dead Eels have disappeared one after another, and both gangs have fallen into a certain amount of chaos, with the most powerful figures in the gang vying for the position of the boss.
Varina relieved Hugh and asked Hugh to stop the investigation, and went to Ketra Law Firm that day.
He gave Eugene the assignment and received a commission of £200.
Speaking of which, the £200 was his first large income of his own, though it was no less illegal.
With the £200 at the bottom, Varina doesn't have to worry about funding for the time being.
Fearing the reappearance of another personality, Varina decided not to take on assassination missions or kill people until he had mastered the concept of temperance.
He intends to spend some time in peace and stability.
In this way, day by day, apart from mastering the ancient and Hermetic languages more and more and more proficiently, Varina only attended one party of the Extraordinary that Mr. A had organized.
Of course, he's mainly going to see things for a long time.
Originally, he had planned to buy an introductory textbook to Giant, Ancient Herme, and Elven when he was about to learn the language, but now that he had established a relationship with the temperance, there was no need.
Anyway, teaching ideas is also teaching, and occult languages are also teaching, so it should be okay to teach more.
He thought he could live like this until the night before the full moon.
But life is always full of surprises.
On the afternoon of December 7th, while reading a book, he suddenly felt angina, and it cycled three times, one long and one short.
It's the witch Qili summoning him!
To be honest, since becoming an "Assassin", Varina has almost forgotten about Qili and never thought to reach out to her.
Except, of course, when you want to be promoted to Sequence 8 "Instigator".
Qi Li also said that if nothing else, she should not take the initiative to contact Varina.
So, this is the trouble coming?
Reluctantly, Varina pulled out the box of communication paste, separated a small piece from the black paste, and applied it to the surface of the mirror.
Soon, he saw Qili's figure in the dim mirror.
This time, she wore a long and gorgeous dress, and the huge brim of the gauze hat was also patterned, and it was also decorated with feathers, flowers and other small ornaments.
After the occult video call was connected, Varina took the initiative to say hello.
"Good afternoon, ma'am."
"Hmm." Qi Li nodded slightly, but the huge brim of her hat swung by a large margin, and Varina was even worried that it would fall off Qi Li's head.
"Do you think I look good today?"
Hearing such a question, Varina is a little sluggish, you spend your spiritual connection call, and instead of saying important things first, you ask such boring questions?
Well, you're leading you awesome.
Varina had no choice but to squeeze out a smile again, "It's beautiful, the long dress adds to your luxury, and this wide-brimmed gauze hat goes well with your fluffy curls." ”
Well...... There's nothing wrong with complimenting ladies with these words, and I hope you love to hear them.
Qi Li's smile became even brighter, and she asked again: "Why haven't you taken the initiative to contact me after so long?" ”
Varina wanted to clap his hand on the door of his head, but he forcibly held back and replied with a smile:
"Ma'am, I've been busy adjusting to the changes brought about by potions these days, and I've tried to play a role, and it works well."
"Well, that's good," Qi Li nodded again, finally getting to the point:
"This time I have a task for you."
"Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the evening, I want you to cause chaos near Earl Levitt's villa in Queens, to attract the attention of several of the Earl's Extraordinary Guards, and to gain time for my actions."
Extraordinary Guards, how many are there? Varina felt half dead when she heard such a mission.
But it was impossible to refuse, and there was not even room for bargaining, so he had to hurry up and ask for key information:
"How many extraordinaries are there, what sequence are they, and what level of chaos do you want to achieve?"
In the mirror, Qi Li smiled approvingly, apparently pleased with Varina's reaction, and said:
"We need to shift their attention to the outside of the Earl's Court, there are probably three or four people, and they are basically members of the rotating punishment team."
Varina wanted to ask again, but in the mirror, Qili suddenly turned her head to look somewhere and quickly cut off the call.
