Chapter 128: Tarot Society's Biggest Deal?
"That person is your usual source? I feel like he's not even an adult. ”
Upon entering the alley, Angel asked Sherman curiously.
"It's true that there are no adults, there are a lot of half-grown children like this in the East End, they are nimble, they are observant, they are not easy to notice, and most importantly, they are much lower than those gangsters or specialized bounty hunters."
Sherman whispered, glancing to the sides from time to time, observing the people walking by outside the alley.
Looking at Sherman, who had rapidly grown and transformed, from a submissive victim to a qualified assassin, Angel nodded with satisfaction, took out the last bottle of communication potion and handed it to him, quickly explaining how to use it.
“…… In the future, if you have an emergency, you can use this to contact me, save some use, it is very expensive. ”
She had already explained the preciousness of her blood twice today, and at this time her mouth was dry, and she didn't want to repeat it again, so she summed it up with "very expensive", Sherman heard this, carefully put away the glass bottle, and then continued to report today's harvest.
"I've collected clues about Barron, it's a pity, it's more troublesome than not finding clues, there are too many clues, at least three of them are called Barron that match your description, and their looks can't be compared by dictation, I'm going to 'visit' them one by one next week, maybe there's the real one in the middle."
"Be careful, if you meet the real Barron, don't alarm him, report it to me directly."
Angel feels more and more like Severia who sits at home every day and gives orders, the only difference may be that she is poorer and can't afford expensive pastries.
Blaming his superiors, Angel followed Sherman back to his house and watched him turn the gas lamp on the wall, the click sounded, and the heart-warming light did not appear.
“…… It seems to be in arrears. ”
Sherman smiled awkwardly, walked over to the door and threw two coins into the gas meter, turning on the gas lamp again with the sound of the gears turning, this time successfully igniting it.
"Have you started looking for your first assassination target?" In order to alleviate this poor and embarrassing atmosphere, Angel found a topic, "My only request is not to point the dagger I gave you at innocent people, there are no other restrictions, anyone who has done anything to you, who has bullied your friends, or who is notorious in the neighborhood, is fine." ”
When the Assassin returned home, he reverted to his submissive appearance, and when he heard this, he shrank back with some hesitation, and only replied after a moment:
"I've found it, it's a guy who often catches up with the kids in the neighborhood to find out for him, but never pays him, and he even robs them of the little money they earn...... Hmm, do I need to tell you in advance when I do it? ”
"You just choose your own target, I won't help or spy on you. But be careful, don't mess with other extraordinary, although the sequence 9 of the 'assassin' path belongs to the combat sequence, it is not the strongest batch, and many sequence 9 also have good combat ability, such as warriors, such as criminals, such as arbiters. ”
Angel cites several potion sequences that also have excellent melee abilities and describes their extraordinary abilities for Sherman to identify and avoid direct confrontation.
But when it comes to the "arbiter" who can make people nearby obey involuntarily, she notices that the other party's expression has changed somewhat.
"Do you know someone extraordinary in the 'arbiter' pathway?"
"Yes, yes, there is a friend, a bounty hunter who has helped me many times. She is very powerful, she can deal with anyone with one punch, and one sentence can shock the audience...... It was only after I learned about potions and extraordinary powers that I realized that it was the Extraordinary One. ”
There was a hint of longing in Sherman's eyes, it seemed that he had thought that extraordinary people should be like that, no wonder he was a little uncomfortable with the behavior of the "assassin".
"You can also try to be like her, punish the evil and promote the good, 'deal with everyone with a knife'," Angel smiled as she guided the newcomer, "but remember, whether the target is ordinary people or villains, you are the one who brings disaster to them." ”
Calamity, this is the theme that the "assassin", or "witch", cannot avoid.
Angel thought of this, and she also had some feelings.
————
On Monday afternoon, Angel attended the regular tarot meeting as scheduled.
A crimson light flashed in front of her, and she appeared in the majestic palace that she was already very familiar with, on her left hand was Miss Justice who greeted everyone politely, and on her right hand was a hazy figure sitting at the head of the long table, hidden in the gray mist, Mr. Fool.
Miss Magician presents her first diary of Russell the Great since attending the Tarot Society, and after the Fool's reading time is over, the crowd begins to communicate freely.
"Miss Queen, I've already contacted the craftsman, who has just finished a near-perfect magical item and has rested long enough to take the order."
The hanged man said in a flat tone.
"The only question is, what extraordinary properties do you want to use as an ingredient?"
Angel had already made up her mind, and when she heard the question of the hanged man, she replied without hesitation:
"The extraordinary characteristics of the 'shepherd'."
Ms. D's strength is well understood. And the "Wriggling Hunger" that the previous "Hurricane Admiral" Ziringus relied on to become famous is also a magical item made of the "Shepherd" trait, and the ability of those extraordinary people it grazes makes Ziringus, who is only a Sequence 6 wind-bearer, almost terrifying, one of the strongest extraordinary people below the demigod.
These two are living advertisements for the "shepherds", although they are now dead.
Moreover, the extraordinary characteristics of the "Faceling" and the "Dawn Knight" have been initially combined with foreign objects to form items that can be used directly, although the former should be able to be crafted into some kind of magical item that can change the appearance, and the latter can even become a powerful weapon under the skillful hands of the craftsman, but it is not what she urgently needs at the moment.
Even if I really need it urgently, I can just put the "Faceling" on my face......
So she repeated again: "Just choose 'Shepherd'." ”
"No problem, 'Shepherd' in Sequence 5, that craftsman charges £1,700 to make."
Hearing that this was not a "whole number" number, Angel frowned, and before he could speak, the hanged man added:
"500 pounds of that money belongs to me."
His words were frank, as if he was talking about what he had for breakfast today, but it put Angel at ease.
This is the information fee, or rather, the referral fee, that he deserves.
The extraordinary trait of Sequence 6 can be sold for more than £3,000 at the Extraordinary's party, and a few scarce ones may even reach £4,000, and the price of the "Shepherd" trait of Sequence 5 is not a problem to double, plus the crafting cost, the total price of the entire transaction reaches 9,000 pounds, and the 500 pound paid by the hanged man is not too high.
"No problem, this price is reasonable," despite saying this, Angel still felt a throbbing pain in his chest, it was the heartache that money was far away from him, "I think, this should be the highest transaction in the Tarot Club, right?" ”
There was an awkward silence at the long table.
"Ahem, in fact, during the time you were on leave, Miss Justice took the commission of a certain family member of Mr. Fool and bought the head of a certain ambassador in Beckland for 10,000 pounds, and this was part of the bounty of 'Lieutenant General Hurricane' Ziringers, who was worth 30,000 pounds."
The hanged man said with a rare smile in his tone.
30,000 pounds?
The magical items and extraordinary properties of my whole body combined should not be sold for more than 30,000 pounds......
Angel's handful of joy at winning the first prize burst like a soap bubble in the scorching sun.
"Then, Mr. Hangman, I will give you the extraordinary traits by sacrificing them after the Tarot Meeting."
She hurriedly diverted the topic to ease the awkward atmosphere here.
"There's also the crafting fee, you can wait until you get the magic item for my part, but not for the craftsman."
The hanged man added.
The craftsman's cost was £1,200, but Angel now had less than £700 in cash, including the £600 she had sold to Miss Magician's "Sheriff" trait a few days earlier.
She suddenly felt her head grow.
She thought it was a deal of one hand and one hand delivery, but the 1,200 pounds in cash offered by the hangman stumped her.
"Miss Queen, part of the arrears I owed you last time can already be repaid, and I will pay for the production costs this time."
As if feeling her embarrassment, Miss Justice on the side said softly.
The Hanged Man immediately turned his gaze to justice, and then nodded: "Yes, you can just sacrifice to Mr. Fool later." ”
"Thank you, Miss Justice," although Justice said "pay off the arrears", but Angel was relieved of her urgent need, and she still expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart, "and Mr. Hanged Man, and thank you for contacting the craftsman for me." ”
After the deal was reached, several people began to share what they had seen and heard for a week, and the "world", which had not spoken for a long time, looked around, and then said in a deep and hoarse voice:
"Beckland has not been at peace lately, and there are people looking for cases involving 'tarot cards' and the organization that uses them as code names, an organization that believes in 'fools.'"
Everyone sat up straight, even Miss Magician, who seemed to be deserting, and they looked at Mr. Fool at the head of the long table, and when he saw that he did not respond, they quickly withdrew their gaze.
"There are also people in the royal family who are watching this matter, although they have not used official forces, but they have mobilized a lot of private investigators and bounty hunters, and as far as I know, the scope may not be limited to Beckland."
Miss Justice also added.
"Also, there's the 'Aurora Society', where they offer high bounties to find people who believe in the 'Fool'."
This somewhat hesitant voice came from the "magician".
Angel, as one of the members who reported to Mr. Fool, had been mentally prepared for the Tarot meeting to discuss this matter, but he didn't expect that after several people supplemented and compared, he found that most of Bakeland, including the surrounding cities, were looking for "Fools" and "Tarot Society".
They became famous!
