Chapter 70: A New Stage in Relationships
Two days.
After two days of back and forth and temptation, Varina and the witch finally completed the run-in and each achieved some of the desired results.
Varina was basically sure that Qili would follow his proposed "tacit agreement" most of the time and would not interfere too much with his freedom.
Of course, he also paid some concessions for this.
For example, his so-called "starting from a new understanding" exists in name only.
He had to quickly accept the witch's "love", become a superficial couple with her, change his name to "Lily", and even have to "heartbeat" a few times from time to time - this stems from the witch's increasingly sophisticated curse technique.
In her original words, "I think men should be tempted at this time, since you still don't understand the amorous feelings, then let me help you." ”
In short, their relationship entered a new phase.
During this time, Varina took the time to validate new uses of the ability to "connect", only to find that he was not qualified enough.
He couldn't use the ability to "connect" while meditating, which meant he couldn't even try to verify it.
Perhaps because he is not spiritually strong right now, or for some other reason, Varina can only put aside the idea of validating his inspiration for the time being and try it later.
He felt a little pity.
If he can do it now, then he will immediately be able to obtain the interrogation method that is no less than Klein's version of "dream psychic", as well as the ability to "communicate with the heart" that only demigod hunters have.
Because the effect of the skill is so strong, Varina can accept it later if he thinks about it - this is not a skill that he can master now.
……
In order to slow down the "heating up" of the relationship between the two as much as possible, and also to improve his abilities, Varina also asked Qi Li for occult knowledge and fighting techniques.
After all, the effect of self-study is definitely not as good as that of a famous teacher.
To his surprise, Qi Li didn't have much occult knowledge.
In addition to mastering one more Giant language than him, she is best at only a few ritual magics, the kind she prays to the "Primordial Witch", which she learned during the "Instigator" stage.
However, in terms of fighting skills, Qi Li has a lot of means to teach.
Unlike the general techniques Hugh had taught him, Qi Li had developed a number of tricks that only worked with the "Assassin", which matched the "Assassin's" extraordinary means of power with light and dexterity.
Varina and Qili practiced many times in the other empty room, and learned a lot.
Here's one more vignette.
Perhaps it was the noise during their practice that affected the landlord's family downstairs, and the next afternoon, the landlady, who barely saw anyone except for collecting rent, came, while they practiced again.
The landlady went up to the second floor and knocked on the wall while standing on the edge of the common area.
"I can understand that you young people are affectionate and have good physical strength," she said, half admonishing and half reprimanding, "but can you pay attention to the effects?" Can you stop a little longer? ”
"In the past two days, there have been more than a dozen times during the day and at night, to say the least, right? It's time to stop. ”
After saying that, she didn't wait for the two to respond, and hurriedly went downstairs and left.
In the empty room, Qi Li hid her lips and snickered, and raised her eyebrows to Varina.
Varina could only hold his expression and not respond, clapping his hands and saying, "Come, finish this round, let's stop for two days." ”
Downstairs, the landlady shook her head, who heard the movement again, and the landlord sighed.
……
15th, seven o'clock in the evening.
This is the third night after the full moon night and the first visit to the Valorant's Bar after the full moon night in Varina.
He had already thought about it, and went to the bar to find a place to sit for half an hour, and then went to see Marich if there was nothing unusual.
With this half-hour buffer, even if there is a possibility that Qili is really following behind, it should be noticed by Sharon.
Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary.
Seeing that everything was normal, Varina finished her glass of Southwell beer and knocked on the door of the chess and card room.
As soon as he entered the door, Marić frowned and asked:
"What a heavy scent, or a lady's perfume smell, you haven't been here for the past two days, just mixed with women?"
Varina subconsciously sniffed left and right on her body, but didn't feel any scent.
That's for sure, he was worried about this, and he deliberately washed it before coming...... But it was still discovered......
Without waiting for Varina to ask, Marić explained, "You can't smell it, don't forget, my prefix is 'Werewolf', and my sense of smell is far beyond that of ordinary people. ”
Varina thought for a moment and dispelled half of Marić's doubts with one sentence.
"My upline, a 'pleasure' witch, has moved next door to me."
His tone was slightly heavy, and Marić was not sure for a moment how much expandable content had been compressed into the sentence...... It can't be completely degenerate and turn into a half-indulgent, right?
He watched as Varina sat down across from him and stretched out his right hand, a little surprised.
Because this is a gesture for temperance members to ask their faction seniors to check their willpower.
"The body is the cage of the mind, and the world is the cage of the body."
The former is in oneself, and the focus is on self-restraint; The latter is biased, with an emphasis on environmental impact.
When the new member's self-restraint is deviated, the old-timers can help the new member get back on the right path through human intervention before it is irreversible.
At the same time, it is also a means for teachers to test the progress of students.
Because of Varina's words, Marich took it for granted that he was asking for help, summoned his extraordinary will, and shook his hand.
Then he felt the surprise again.
He thought that Varina should have been devastated by the witch, and his will was crippled and depressed, and he was afraid that it was already the limit to be able to hold on to this place for help, and he didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to help redeem it.
But I didn't expect the opposite to happen.
Varina's will is not only intact, but also has a high-spirited energy, and the various skills revealed in the operation are quite skillful.
"What is this?"
Marić withdrew his right hand, his tone rather surprised.
"I haven't lost yet," Varina said briefly, "and that's the gain." ”
"I'll try to get out of this situation as soon as possible, but I won't be able to come here as often until then."
With that, Varina stood up and walked out.
Before he went out, Marić added a word of encouragement; "Hold on, you won't lose."
……
As Varina makes her way to the Bar of the Brave, Qili also goes out.
In fact, these days, she goes out every night.
The destination is Golden Rose, located at 19 Hope Road, Jowood District.
This is the best legal brothel in the Gabeckland Bridge area of Joe Wood, which opens at 3 p.m. every day and stays open until 2 a.m.
Now that she is wanted, the limelight has not passed, and it is not good to go to high-end banquets, so she can only go to this kind of place to find some snacks.
After all, the big meal she fancy is not easy to eat for a while, and she obviously won't give up dessert for the sake of the big meal.
