Chapter 155: Barak's Details
After two days of the weekend, it's the first Monday of September.
Although Valeera's classes are scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays, she arrives at the university in the morning to see the campus bustling again.
Sitting in her semi-independent office area, after a false story, she suddenly felt a little emotional.
Just last year, she had to rely on the help of her cousin Reyes to learn some knowledge in college, and now she has become a university lecturer herself, and can even go to teach Reyes.
She used her own experience to prove her original perception -
"Being extraordinary is a shortcut to climb the ladder of society."
At the same time, Valera couldn't help but think that there was such a big gap between the upper and lower levels of this society.
She knows how to "play the law", which is equivalent to walking in the shortcut of a shortcut, but it took a year, and she only just touched the threshold of high society.
Moreover, to achieve this extent, she mainly relied on Qi Li's legacy.
Valilla knew very well that if she relied on her own ability, she would be an ordinary trainee lecturer now, and the communication level should only be limited to the middle class, like now, some things can be easily solved by asking Audrey.
It only took Audrey just over a day to complete her request for the prom and find someone to deliver it yesterday.
Although it is general and ordinary information, if you are looking for a detective to investigate, not to mention whether you can hide it from an extraordinary person like Associate Professor Barak, at least the investigation time will not be so short.
Through the information provided by Audrey, Valeera felt that she had figured out the details of Associate Professor Barak.
There's nothing too special about him personally, the key is his wife Sasha.
Sasha is a faculty member in the Grammar Department at Beckland University and, of course, a "lawyer", but it doesn't matter, what matters is her father's last name - Mormont.
She is a full professor of engineering at the University of Beckland, a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Kingdom of Rune, and the daughter of Portland Mormont.
This academician is very famous.
For discovering several alloys, he received the "Light of the Machine" award.
His alloys were widely used in shipbuilding and steam engine development, and the patent proceeds alone turned him into a billionaire worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Through a "state of reasoning" recollection, Valera remembers that there are more descriptions of this gentleman in the original book.
He is a believer in the "God of Steam and Machines", the "appraiser" of Sequence 7, the first president of the Beckland Technical University, which will be formed in the near future, and the guide who guides Melissa to become a "generalist" in the original book.
Portland Mormont was able to become the "appraiser" of Sequence 7, apparently very closely related to the "God of Vapor and Machines" church, and it was normal to have access to the "craftsman" and see her portrait.
It is almost certain that Associate Professor Barak's "Knowledgeable" potion was also provided by him.
Valera was a little puzzled, why did they help themselves hide it? Such a good feeling came a little inexplicably.
Could it be that just one honest transaction and two blueprints for an ingenious machine could make them feel so good that they concealed the clues they had discovered?
Valilla felt like she had to take the risk of engaging with Associate Professor Barak again.
After thinking about it, she picked up the pen on the table and drew a small, simple dial in the upper right corner of the first page of the lesson she had prepared, with the time pointing to 11 o'clock.
Then, with her own pedagogy, Valeera went to Associate Professor Barak's office and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
When he saw that it was Valilla who pushed the door in, Barak's eyes behind his silver-rimmed glasses showed a look of surprise.
Valera didn't see it at all, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Ascot, I have prepared a teaching plan for tomorrow's lecture, but I am still a little worried, can you please help me take a look?"
As she spoke, she approached her desk and placed the professor on the table in front of Associate Professor Barak.
When she withdrew her left hand, her thumb deliberately swept over the dial in the upper right corner.
As an unforgettable "generalist", Barak naturally did not ignore Valeera's small movements, and after seeing the dial diagram, he quickly reached out and helped his silver-rimmed glasses to hide his shocked gaze.
He didn't expect that after receiving the code message, Valera would take the initiative to find it.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have time right now." His voice was slightly dry in reply.
"Alright then, I'll come back at another time."
Valeera retracted the Eucalyptus on her desk and turned to leave the office.
……
At night, it was nearly eleven o'clock.
In the brightly lit master bedroom, Associate Professor Barak and his wife, Sasha, sat side by side on the sofa, their eyes wandering in the direction of the balcony, not talking.
Suddenly, the air rippled like water, and Valeera appeared in front of them.
This time, she did not change into Lexa's appearance again, but only changed into a trench coat and trousers, which is equivalent to directly admitting that she is the "Phantom Black Queen".
Of course, she only appeared after repeatedly scouting around and making sure that there were no traps.
Seeing that Mr. "Knowledgeable" and Ms. "Lawyer" did not put on the same tense scene as last time, Valera smiled softly, took a few steps forward and sat down on the sofa opposite them, and asked:
"I'm curious, why didn't you choose to report it?"
She had a natural demeanor and a relaxed tone, as if she were an invited guest.
"Because you're not an evil extraordinary," Barak glanced at the folding knife on Valeera's right waist, "If you had malicious intent, we would have been dead the last time we traded." ”
Even if he didn't know much, he was sure that the person who could escape the capture of the "mechanical heart" was not something that they could fight against with two Sequence 9 plus one or two low-level magical items.
"And, even though it's a deal, you've done us a favor."
"My original intention was that as long as what you did didn't touch my conscience, I wouldn't report it."
He said it seriously, and his expression was serious.
As he spoke, Valeera did not feel any obvious evil desire, indicating that his words were basically credible.
Valilla thought about it for a moment, and without dwelling on it, she said:
"I have the recipe for the 'bribe-taker' potion."
"In addition, as long as you pay a sufficient price, I am willing to tell you a way to reduce the probability of losing control and greatly increase the speed of promotion."
"It's my way of repaying my kindness."
At this point, Valera paused slightly, giving the gentleman and lady across from her a moment of acceptance and understanding.
Then, in the shocked and suspicious eyes of the two, she continued with a confident smile:
"This is an incomparably precious, tightly sealed occult knowledge that should be worth no less than the recipe for a high-order potion to those who don't know it."
"And I'm sure you don't know how to do it."
"After all, Mr. Portland Mormont is in his sixties, and he is only a 'appraiser' of Sequence 7, so he obviously has not mastered this method."
This sentence was another bombshell, causing a huge shock in the hearts of the Baraks.
