In ordinary and normal life, Valera and Leah get along with each other back to their previous state, as if that conversation of equality and intimacy did not exist.

She and Leah tacitly agreed not to bring up the empty question again.

With the cessation of the role-playing action, Valeera's digestion progress has undoubtedly come to a standstill, stuck in a small and half way, and is still far from promotion.

But being able to play like this, Valera is also very content.

As the saying goes, she mistakenly thought that she was half an "assassin", and underestimated the difficulty of getting through the "happy" witch stage, and embarked on this wrong path......

Now, then, she can only bear the corresponding price.

Fortunately, this long digestion time did not have much impact on Valeera, and she could take advantage of this time to train more of her subordinates and prepare for the promotion ceremony of Sequence 4 "Iron Knight" in advance.

So far, Valera is making good progress in this regard.

Shortly after Lydia became the "Singer", Ademisor finally collected all the potion materials and became a real "monster".

The experience of suffering is a treasure in another sense, and Ademisore has been able to find the extraordinary material for Sequence 8 "The Machine" while summarizing the complete rules of playing.

In addition to playing Kiri on a daily basis, Harold is also trying his best to find a suitable way to play it.

As for Harpy, in order to make it better digest potions, Valera and Lydia work together to take turns giving him secondary education at night, mainly studying grammar books and some poetry anthologies, such as "Rune's Early Classical Poems" and "Selected Poems of Russell".

Of course, while educating the Harpy, Lydia herself has a lot of occult lessons to master.

There are Burton and Leah, and Valeera hasn't had a showdown with them yet, and she's not sure what choice they'll make in the end.

Thursday, August 16th.

That morning, Valeera went to the North District Court of Beckland, where she and Forth attended Hugh's final trial.

Of course, she appeared in her own masculine form.

Valilla asks Lydia to wear the "Lost Mask" and play her as staying at home; She herself used the "bloodthirsty tongue" to adjust her body shape; As for Harold, he can only go out with Ademisore for a while.

With Audrey's covert support, the barrister who defended Hugh produced a new copy of the case in court - a certificate of intermittent psychiatric diagnosis issued by a professional psychologist.

This certificate, coupled with the fact that the victim also issued a letter of understanding, and the fact that the eucalyptus was originally barely up to the level of a public prosecution, the judge in charge of the trial finally issued a "not guilty" verdict.

After coming out of the courthouse, the three of them found a nearby restaurant and ordered a hearty lunch.

After a month in prison, and although Firth would bring some delicious food with him when he visited, Hugh's visibly haggard face must have been a little overconsumed overall.

During the meal, Hugh's movements were a bit bold, even rude.

If it weren't for the fact that she had known the inside story for a long time, Valilla really had a hard time believing that Hugh had once been a well-educated aristocratic lady.

It wasn't until the second half of the meal that Hugh's action became sven, and the three of them began to talk to each other.

Hugh swallowed his food, took another sip of red wine, and asked:

"Varina, are you going to Mr. A's party tonight?"

Because Firth often visited at night, Hugh knew the situation well, and she was far more effective than Firth, so he planned to take the three gentlemen and ladies to the extraordinary's gathering tonight.

Furth didn't object, either, because she had promised to "do the best of her ability" to help them become extraordinary.

"I've got other things to do tonight," Valeera said, shaking her head, adding, "Because of some trouble, I haven't been able to show up a lot lately. ”

"If you have something to do with me, just use the contact information I gave you earlier."

Valera only said that she had something, which sounded like she had declined the invitation, but in fact she didn't say that she was not going, and as for the contact information she was talking about, of course, she meant "mirror call".

"May I ask you what you've been up to lately?" Furth asked with some curiosity, "Didn't you say that you were completely free?" ”

Hugh chimed in, "yes, do you need help?" ”

"It's a commission, I've been protecting an important person lately." Valera smiled and shook her head, "I can't go into details, and I don't need your help. ”

"After completing this commission, I am almost qualified to be promoted to the next level."

The important target she said needed to be protected was, of course, herself.

Forth and Hugh had no doubts about Valeera's claims, and they were well aware that with the reputation of the bounty hunter Lexa, there were many wealthy people willing to hire him for protection.

After this topic, the three of them chatted for a while.

Valilla uses Hugh's prison life for the past month as an introduction to quietly divert the conversation to urban gossip and weird gossip.

After listening to two ghost stories told by Firth, she pretended to remember it suddenly, and said:

"By the way, have you heard of another rumor lately?"

"The staff and guests of many entertainment venues are telling about a mysterious being called the 'Phantom Black Queen', and I have heard that those who meet her will get a 'supreme pleasure'."

"Huh!"

"You actually go to that kind of place and talk about that kind of topic to us two ladies!"

Firth spoke words of resistance, but the curious look betrayed her mind; Hugh on the other side had no obvious expression, neither curious nor resistant, waiting for Valera to say what was going on.

"If it weren't for the impathetic, I wouldn't have gone to that kind of place."

Valera explained to herself before continuing:

"I suspect that this 'Phantom Black Queen' is an extraordinary being, and she may be performing some kind of evil ritual."

"I inquired, and it was rumored that every time she appeared, she would leave a 'Q of spades' playing card, and if someone she met brought their own 'Q of spades' playing cards, she would take it away."

"In short, she seems to have the 'Queen of Spades' as her characteristic, and that's where her title comes from."

Hearing Valeera mention the Extraordinary, Forthth and Hugh "understood" Valeera's focus, rather than simply talking dirty words.

"A lot of urban weirdos may have something to do with the extraordinary," Hugh said casually, glancing at Furth, who was recording in the pamphlet, "and let the official extraordinaries look into this kind of thing, at most we stay away from that kind of place during this time." ”

Foirth "brushed" the key points, looked up with some excitement and said:

"It's a good material to write about, you can write about the supernatural, you can also write romance, maybe I can write a few short stories and put them in the newspaper to see the effect."

Firth's idea is exactly what Valilla wants, and it saves her some verbal guidance, which may be the writer's natural sensitivity to popularity.

Valilla showed a little surprise and praised with a smile:

"He is worthy of being a great writer in the limelight, and his inspiration is endless."

"That's it," Hugh teased, "if the great writer hadn't found his way, I'm afraid I'd have really been locked up in prison." ”

She looked at Forthth and said, learning from the expression of the play:

"Thanks to the great writer for saving me, the little woman can only wait by her side from now on to repay the kindness of saving her life."

Hearing such ridicule, the smile on Furth's face suddenly retracted most of it, pursed his lips, and his cheeks flushed red.
