"What is this?"

Marić took it and opened it to see the dense graphics and numbers on it, and felt a little dazzled.

"It's a blueprint for crafting a weapon."

Varina tapped on the table and continued, "I'd like to ask you for your help in getting the 'craftsman' to make it. ”

"You should be able to find the 'Craftsman', right?"

It was a blueprint for a folding knife, one of the first things Varina had unearthed from his memory, and it was the object that came to mind during his first meditation.

The blade of this knife can be completely stored inside the hilt, and only a small flip is required to allow the stored blade to expand again.

It's so ingenious, it's so handsome.

He was hooked on the weapon, imagining what it would look like when it flipped in his hand.

Harvested at the same time as the folding knife blueprint, there is also a blueprint for the wristbow design.

Disgusted that the crossbow arrows of the wristbow were difficult to replenish, Varina decided to build only a folding knife instead of the dagger he was currently using.

"There's nothing wrong with the 'craftsman'," Maric asked, looking at the drawings again and frowning, "You designed this?" Are you sure you can make it? How much are you willing to pay to build it? ”

Varina raised his right index finger and shook it, and said with a smile:

"You're underestimating how elaborate this drawing is."

"I think if you show a part of the drawing to the 'craftsman', he will be eager to see the whole thing and try to build it."

"The drawings themselves are a reward for the 'craftsman', and I have only one request."

"The design and knowledge in the drawings can be freely used by the 'craftsmen', but the finished weapon can only be built in one piece."

This is not a Varina exaggeration, but the drawing is really quite sophisticated.

In the original book, at Klein's party of the Extraordinary, there was a lady who was connected to the "craftsman" who sold a deformable meat saw for 25 pounds.

Although the construction of the meat saw knife was not specifically described, just by the name, Varina felt that it was no more elaborate than his folding knife.

The reason why Varina chose to ask Marić for help instead of the lady was also because he valued the design drawings of the folding knife and wanted to control its circulation as much as possible.

"I hope your judgment is accurate enough."

Marić put away the drawings suspiciously, "I can only help you so much at this stage, don't do anything else." ”

Then he took out the thick book and said:

"You haven't received a sermon for many days, and I will take you to study the holy scriptures and understand the doctrine again."

Seeing this, Varina hurriedly straightened his sitting posture and put on a solemn posture.

On the surface, his attitude is fine, but in the final analysis, he actually admires more than he believes.

Varina admires Torzner's ability to forge a path of "moderation" that favors order and justice in the path of "prisoners" who favor disorder and evil.

But if she ever had to believe in Him because of it, Varina felt she wasn't there yet.

When it comes to faith, his current preference is the goddess of the night.

But even the goddess of the night, he has a lot of care, and he doesn't dare to pray sincerely.

He is now a rare and rare unbeliever in this era; Or, to put it milder, he can only be a pan-believer at best, and a pan-believer who can take care of multiple gods with peace of mind.

So the conclusion is, he's a proper heretic.

If there were faith wars and burnings at the stake for heresy, he would have to take turns going to the churches.

……

After receiving the sermon, the time had come to the second half of the night.

Varina returned to her lodgings, finally having time to think carefully about her plans for the future.

The first is a short-term plan to digest the potions of the "instigators".

Judging from Triss's behavior in the original book of creating the "Alfalfa" tragedy, as long as he can instigate enough people, he can completely digest the potion as long as he plays it once.

Varina considered whether the need to spread the scourge could be reduced if more people could be instigated.

In this regard, in fact, Varina has already experienced it once.

It was during his first theft at the dock union before he became an extraordinary, that Varina misled the judgment of Kent, the boss of the Dead Eels, and accidentally caused a street fight between the gangs.

This is actually quite a successful early play.

After he drank the "Instigator" potion, he felt that the potion that had just entered his body had been digested to a great extent.

Judging from this incident, Varina felt that his idea had a good chance of coming true.

Instigating enough people to spread a not-so-deadly scourge will surely wipe out the vast majority, if not the "instigator" potion.

Varina took a fancy to the Grain Act and felt that it was a chance for him to digest the potion.

There is also a long-term plan to break away from the Witch Sect.

In this regard, Varina's thinking is actually somewhat similar to the operation of the "Hanged Man" Alger in the original book.

He also plans to hide from his superiors, secretly promote, and wait until the opportunity is right, and then push the situation in the direction he expects from the surface.

Here, Varina has an unavoidable difficulty -

Unlike Alger, he is promoted to Sequence 7 "The Witch", which changes gender and changes his appearance dramatically.

This requires finding a way to cover it up.

He needs a magical item for the Faceling, or a little harder, and the Rose Bishop might be able to do just that.

Varina spent a lot of energy, digging deep into her memory in the "reasoning state", and finally found a usable information -

The Earl of Wolf has a mask from the Eggers family mausoleum.

And in the conversation between Leonard "Star" and the "old" angel Pales, who is known as the "last conscience of the thief", it can be known that this mask has the extraordinary abilities of a "faceling".

At this point, a rough framework of the plan was settled in Varina's mind.

1. To take advantage of the general trend of the repeal of the Corn Laws, to instigate the masses and spread mild calamities in order to digest the potion;

2. Before the potion is completely digested, it is best for him to collect all the materials of the "witch" potion;

3. Before he is really promoted to "witch", it is best for him to steal the magical item "Mask of Azik";

4, and in order to reduce the possibility of being exposed to his actions, he had to find a way to get rid of Qili's entanglement and avoid too much contact with her.

These are the four main points in general that Varina has to consider in detail how to arrange and execute them, and what the specific order is.

Soon, he had a certain idea.

He had already handed over the materials to Marić, and the progress could not be controlled by himself, and in order to fully meet his expectations, he would have to pay at least 800-1,000 gold pounds - he had to consider the material premium;

You can use the digestive potion as an excuse to stay away from Qili for a while; And when the potion is digested, it is estimated that he will have a new excuse because he is too "famous";

The difficulty is, should he steal the mask first, or digest the potion first?
