After helping Marić ease the curse, Valeera did not rush to leave.

She sat at the table with Sharon and Marich and chatted for nearly an hour, exchanging a lot of things.

Valeera's main concerns, of course, are the two auxiliary materials for the "Pain" potion;

After obtaining the recipe for the "Pain" potion, she asked Sharon to pay attention to two of the supporting materials that corresponded to the sequence.

Unfortunately, there has been no harvest until now.

Valilla chatted with Marić about the Craftsman's agent at the Extraordinary Gathering, Professor Barak, and was told that he had recently been looking for the extraordinary material "Madweed".

"Madness" is the counterpart of "Lawyer" in Sequence 8, one of the two main materials for the "Barbarian" potion.

In addition to the supporting materials, Valilla chatted with them about Harold.

She relayed Harold's idea of playing a "criminal", hoping to get some inspiration from Sharon and Marić, and incidentally about teaching critical ideas.

It's just that the three of them discussed it for a while, but they couldn't come up with a good idea.

In the end, Sharon and Marić simply dismissed the idea of direct contact with Harold, leaving Valilla to decide how much of the temperance idea to transfer.

After all, judging from Valeera's description, it is difficult for Harold to follow the idea of criticism even if he is a criminal, let alone the idea of moderation.

】

Valeera is primarily concerned with these two aspects.

Finally, before leaving, they also talked about the rumors of the "Phantom Black Queen".

Of course, Sharon and Marić don't take the initiative to inquire about privacy, and the topic is instigated by Valeera, she just makes it clear that spreading the story of the "Phantom Black Queen" can help her digest the potion and ask for help.

It's not hard to do.

The bar was originally a place where rumors flew all over the place, and as long as Caspars arranged one or two random trays, this rumor could endure in the bar.

……

Arranging the spread of rumors of the "Phantom Black Queen" is Valeera's attempt with good expectations.

She's not sure, but hopes it works.

However, Valilla never expected that after only a few days, she really felt the spiritual oppression and had a slight sense of relaxation.

This proves her prior guess that rumors and strange stories can also help her digest potions.

In fact, Valeera's speculation, although it contains good expectations, is not unfounded-

In another memory of hers, there is such a joke: "A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a maid, a maid is not as good as a prostitute, a prostitute is not as good as stealing, and it is better not to steal than to steal." ”

All in all, the best is never available.

Rumors of the "Phantom Black Queen" are flying all over the sky, and those who meet them say that they are good, and the rest of the people who have not met them will naturally imagine it.

It's similar to a horror story.

Those who can be frightened by horror stories can naturally reap the joy of rumors.

Since Crane can get feedback from the former, there's no reason why the latter, which is almost equivalent, can't give Valera feedback.

Of course, this is theoretical reasoning, and the real example is brought back by Harold, from a ball.

At the ball, he chatted with a few superficial friends, from political reform to entertainment, and heard urban rumors and tabloid stories about the "Phantom Black Queen".

The topics between men are probably these two categories.

Rumors have been widely circulated in the dark, and it can be said that as long as people who have a little relationship in that area can hear some of them, the business of related industries has increased a lot.

There are also some jokes in it, mainly related to followers who don't know the truth.

After they heard the rumors of the "Phantom Black Queen", they swarmed into the entertainment venues, and many of them were deceived by the fake name, and a lot of money was spent, but the pleasure was little.

Of course, the number of imitation offenders is still relatively small, and most of them are fresh faces.

Harold's superficial friends don't know, but in fact, there are a lot of criminals, but before they can make a few eucalyptus, they will be arrested and interrogated by the police station.

There are entrances and exits, which forms the appearance they see.

What Harold mainly illustrates is another true example that is conclusive.

So-and-so had the good fortune to come into contact with the "Phantom Black Queen" from the baron, and had what he described as an incomparably wonderful pleasure...... Since then, he has been in a state of limp and can no longer find pleasure in entertaining.

In this way, his life is forever reduced by half, and only the comfort of "wine" remains.

His friends tried to comfort him, but instead he put on a high-level appearance of wanting nothing else, bluntly saying that he had been sublimated and would no longer be confused by low-level interests......

Harold gave an example of this matter, not because he was aware of Valeera's connection to the "Phantom Black Queen", but because he thought that the matter was likely to involve a supernatural element, and asked for advice when Valeera was conducting a occult class.

Valilla casually gave a few words of rational reasoning at the time, and then got the topic out of the lake, and instead said a few more words about the political reforms that Harold had mentioned in passing.

That's right, it's the civil service examination system.

This incident reassured Valeera, believing that she had largely corrected the deviation between reality and the original, and preserved the accuracy of the "Book of Prophecy" in her memory to a considerable extent.

Afterwards, Valilla also found an opportunity to remind Ria to ask her brother to read more grammar books.

……

All along, Valilla had given Harold only two tasks, and the requirements were all lenient.

One of them is to expand his social circle and show the expectation of joining high society, which he can only say is quite qualified;

The other was to attend the Extraordinary's gathering, collecting recipes and ingredients, and after Lydia and Ademisore were promoted, his tasks were shared.

This gave him more time to explore how to play.

In fact, in the period after knowing the "acting law", he tried to commit minor crimes, but it was ineffective.

And the criminal behavior with serious consequences, not to mention that Valera will not allow it, he will not be able to pass his own level.

Valera had told him:

The essence of the "Playing Method" is to "act in accordance with the name of the potion, understand the hidden laws, and be strict with oneself based on them", and only in this way can you adjust the state of the body, mind, and spirit, get close to the residual spirit in the potion, and gradually digest it.

Referring to this sentence, after a period of thinking and searching, Harold found two examples -

The demonstration, which directly led to the repeal of the "Corn Laws", clearly caused a certain harm to the normal social order, and even more impacted the official obstruction, which was a proper criminal act.

In the end, instead of being punished, the workers who participated in the march were satisfied.

The same is the use of certain means to accumulate wealth, resulting in many people's lives are unsustainable, "fraud" is a crime, but "business" is legal.

In some respects, the two actually have some things in common, and there are also a few ways to get close.

Harold wanted to think about it and find the right way to play it.
