Chapter 10: Mr. A's Two Scenarios

If Angel doesn't think of the "Aurora Society" when she hears the name "Mr. A", then her two months as a night watchman in Tingen will be in vain.

This is the same naming style as Mr. C and Ms. D, and it undoubtedly shows the identity of the other party's Aurora Divine Envoy.

I just don't know if this Mr. A is related to the two oracles who fought Angel, and whether he knows about the existence of such a night watchman who has repeatedly destroyed the good things of the Aurora Society.

She was now extremely glad that she was wearing a kitten mask, otherwise she would have been caught by Mr. A. and would have been caught by Aurora, and she would have been lying in some stinky ditch in Beckland to rot as Dominic said.

Unaware of Angel's inner drama next to him, Dominic's eyes hidden under the clown's mask looked around the meeting grounds, lingering on each unmasked member, as if looking for a target.

After the last two members, one tall and one short, two women who did not hide their faces, entered the venue, and waited for a few more minutes, and no new members entered, Mr. A on the sofa whispered:

"The rally begins, ask for your needs, or apply for a separate deal."

Angel was wondering how to "make a request", and Dominic had already taken a stack of notes from the coffee table next to her, took one for himself, and handed the rest to her.

"If you want to sell or buy something, or see what you need on the blackboard, you can write it on a slip of paper and a waiter will take it."

He pointed to the two blackboards standing by the wall, on which a number of transactions were already written.

"A rose with a human face, one flower, two hundred pounds."

"Sell Sequence 8 'Sheriff' Recipe, £450."

"Buying the silk glands of an adult widow giant spider, the price is negotiable."

"Star crystal, 30 grams, 80 pounds."

"Mummy powder, in large quantities, 5 pounds per 10 grams."

"The recipe for the 'audience' and 'mind reader' potions is needed, and the price is negotiated face-to-face."

……

Comparing the prices here with the underground market of Tingen and the port of Enmat, Angel found that the prices in the big cities were indeed much cheaper than in the small places, perhaps because of the large volume and transparency of the extraordinary materials in Beckland, while the prices in the small cities were often inflated and inflated.

Unfortunately, there are no magical items, maybe these things will be bought as soon as they appear, or maybe their owners are waiting for someone to offer to buy them and sell them at a premium.

Two attendants walked between the members of the assembly, collecting or passing notes, and then posted the contents of the notes on two blackboards, shouting out the contents of each new one, a total of three times, so that all the members of the room could notice it and make it easier to trade.

Angel noticed that not long after several members passed the note, she was asked out of the room by the waiter, and returned to the venue after a few minutes, continuing to sit in her chair and look at the blackboard.

Looking at Dominic, who was writing something with his head down, Angel also took the pen, wrote the words "Buy 30 Nemesis Crystals" on the slip of paper, and handed it to the waiter who walked forward slowly.

The young waiter, who also hid his face under his hood, bowed his head and whispered:

"The Star Crystal is consigned here, and if you need it, I can bring it over now."

So it's so convenient......

Angel nodded, carefully counted out the 80 pound bill, and handed it to the waiter.

Within two minutes, the waiter had gone and returned, handing her a small cloth bag with a pierced mouth.

The bag was opened, and there was a jelly-like, crystal-like crystal lying inside, showing a little starlight in the dim light of the room.

"If the weight is not the same as it is said, who should I go to? Mr. A? ”

Although it was determined by his hand that this star crystal was not short of catties or two, Angel still asked uneasily.

"Rest assured, Mr. A will not allow this to happen in his party, especially consignment." Before the waiter could answer, Dominic on the side came over, handed a note to the waiter, and interjected, "Give this to Mr. A, saying that we are ready to make a deal." ”

"How are the manuscripts going to be traded, and handed over to the waiter like this?"

After the waiter left, Angel asked curiously.

"How is it possible, this is not a business of a few dozen pounds, we are going to a separate room next to it."

Dominic looks at Angel like an ignorant girl from the countryside.

It's no wonder that from time to time, some people are taken away from the venue by waiters, and it turns out that they are going to the side to trade......

Ignoring the constant provocations of this "provocateur", Angel thought secretly.

When no one passed the note anymore, Mr. A opened his mouth and announced:

"At the beginning of the break period, everyone communicates casually."

Then the black-robed man got up from the sofa, left the venue, and entered a small door next to him.

The members of the assembly began to talk to someone nearby, or whispered, or made a noise, and the whole venue suddenly changed from a secret meeting to a vegetable market, and Angel could see that many of the members here should know each other in private, such as the two ladies who entered at the end, they had already gathered together in the corner of the room.

The waiter who had passed the note came to Dominic's side again and whispered:

"Mr. A, please come over."

You guys?

Angel was aware of the word.

Maybe Sonia came with him in a kitten mask before, or maybe the communication between the two was seen by Mr. A......

Guessing, Angel and Dominic followed the waiter to the door of a study next door.

"Look at my face when you go in."

Dominic, wearing the clown mask, whispered a word to Angel and pushed the door open.

Mr. A, who had just left, was still wearing a black robe and hood, sitting at a desk that looked relatively cheap, and behind him, the glass of the spacious window was covered with a layer of floating ash, making the last rays of the evening even more dim.

Angel noticed that there were not many books on the shelves in the study, and it was not known if the owner lacked reading habits or if there were other reasons.

"You just said on the note that the manuscript has arrived?"

Mr. A's muffled inquiry interrupted her observation and reflection.

"That's right, is the money ready?"

Dominic stepped forward and asked rhetorically.

"I have to verify the authenticity of the manuscript before I can continue to trade, there have been a lot of forged manuscripts in Beckland recently, I hope you don't deceive me."

After hesitating for a moment, Dominic looked sideways at Angel and nodded.

The latter took out the file bag from under the cloak, opened the tether of the seal, pulled out half of the manuscripts, walked to the desk, and laid them flat on the table.

Mr. A immediately stood up and leaned in, and instead of reaching for the manuscript, he swept his gaze over the sheets of manuscript paper, lingering for a long time on some complex formula, and the sketch was skimmed.

He knew the formulas, or at least some of them...... Could it be that this Aurora Society envoy was still a top student before he turned to a cultist?

Angel tightly guarded the other half of the manuscript, carefully observing the movements of the Aurora Divine Envoy.

After a quick reading of the manuscript, Mr. A nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, let's continue." ”

He watched Angel take back the papers, fold them neatly, and put them back in the file bag before continuing:

"As circumstances have changed, I offer two options for trading this manuscript," he stretched his limbs under Dominic's quizzing gaze and sat back in his chair, "First, I will buy the manuscript now, and the 2,000 pounds will be replaced by a magical item, and you can rest assured that it will be worth more than that." ”

Didn't you say okay and buy this manuscript directly for 2,000 pounds...... Angel set her eyes on Dominic, and she could guess that the "provocateur's" face changed and changed under the clown mask.

"Second," said Mr. A, ignoring the reactions of the two traders, "wait another week or so, and buy it according to the original plan, and I can add an additional 200 pounds to the price of waiting, but in the meantime you cannot sell the manuscript to anyone else." ”

You just say you don't have any money now......

Angel understands what Mr. A means, he is currently shy and can't come up with cash, so he can either use magical items to offset or wait until he has enough cash before trading.

Of course, in the face of an Aurora Divine Emissary who was likely to have Sequence 5, she didn't dare to say such words, so she could only smile behind the kitten mask and reply:

"Can you discuss?"

……

"I didn't expect this Mr. A to organize a secret gathering of the extraordinary, but he couldn't even get 2,000 pounds in cash......"

Outside the study door, Dominic's eyes under the mask were a little impatient, and he lowered his voice and said to Angel, for fear of being heard by Mr. A across the wall.

"What now? Wait a week? ”

Angel asked.

She actually prefers the first option, provided that the magical items provided by Mr. A are indeed worth the price.

After being approached by the police and the night watchman, Angel vaguely felt that the manuscript of the difference machine was a little hot, there was a wrestling between multiple forces behind it, the official extraordinary person was tracking down the spy behind the manuscript, the gang kidnapped the insider to find out the news, and even the Aurora Society was in a hurry to buy it.

In this case, wait another week for an extra £200, and the risk is self-evident.

Dominic obviously had these concerns, he looked down and pondered for a while, then clenched his fists with determination, and said:

"Then follow Mr. A's first plan, the magical items will be yours, and you will give me the 600 pounds."

Well? Wait, 600 pounds, I think I'm ......

Angel suddenly remembered that he had just spent 80 pounds to buy a star crystal, and he only had 530 pounds in his pocket with the rest of the change.

But Dominic had already pushed open the door to the study and walked in.

"Mr. A, we decided to go with the first option."
