"Audrey reminded me that she still owes me 3,800 pounds, which is part of the 5,000 pounds she promised after I rescued her from Ms. D," Angel squinted as she counted the total amount of her fortune with bread in her mouth, "Sherlock found the gold and jewels of the 'Apostle of Desire', assuming it could be sold for 3,000 pounds, and half of it belonged to me...... The Eye of Wisdom hired me to help him with his troubles with the Apostle of Desire, and likewise promised a reward of not less than £1,000, so that, together with my £800 in cash, would be a total of ...... 7100 pounds? ”

This staggering number made her almost drop the bread in her mouth on the table.

But unfortunately, Audrey's part is said to be paid only after her coming-of-age ceremony is over and the financial crisis is alleviated, Sherlock also has to find a channel to "sell the stolen goods", and the bounty of the Apostle of Desire is even more distant, in fact, all she belongs to is more than 800 pounds in cash in her pocket.

Angel, who had returned to reality from her sweet dream, sighed, hurriedly settled her breakfast, and flipped through today's newspaper.

Her hope of earning gold pounds is in it.

Perhaps the turmoil of the "Apostle of Desire" has not subsided, there is still no news about Mr. Isenger Stanton's "Wisdom Eye Gathering", and Mr. A, who Angel has been thinking about, has not placed an advertisement in the newspaper for a while, which makes Angel, who is eager to sell the "Ring of Madness", a little anxious.

Fortunately, today is already Monday, and there is a regular tarot meeting in the afternoon, where this magical item may be sold.

"Then use the money from the sale of the Ring of Frenzy to find Mr. Hangman's craftsman and craft the two remaining extraordinary properties into new magical items...... In this way, an effective positive cycle can be achieved. ”

Thinking to herself, Angel flipped through the back pages of the newspaper and began to read the day's news.

"The honorable duke has been assassinated, and the real demons are wreaking havoc on the land!" 》

Demon...... Could it be the "Apostle of Desire" Jason Beria?

Angel quickly read the shocking headline and found that it did not mention anything about supernatural powers, but instead portrayed the killer as a crazed banker who had gone bankrupt due to conservative policies, and that "Patrick Jason" had assassinated Duke Negan, the leader of the Conservative Party, in a fit of rage, and was then shot dead on the spot.

The terrorist organization Aurora will publicly declare its responsibility!

Angel was a little dumbfounded, as an extraordinary person who participated in the killing of the "Apostle of Desire" and learned the true purpose of the other party from Sherlock's mouth, she naturally did not believe that Aurora would have any role in this incident, and rushed to admit that killing such an important person was too crazy even in terms of the way of thinking of the cult.

Of course, it may also be a cover for the official extraordinary, who failed to protect the Duke Negan, and couldn't blame everything on an ordinary banker, let alone say anything about the extraordinary and extraordinary powers, and the evil cult organization like the Aurora Society naturally became the best scapegoat.

However, these cult members are summoning evil gods and engaging in human trafficking, so they must not mind if they are burdened with this black cauldron.

Angel shook her head, flipped through the second page, and was surprised to find that the previous news was followed by a report that the police and the military had worked together to destroy the Aurora stronghold in Queens.

Queens, Aurora Club, won't be Mr. A's residence, right?

It seems that the official extraordinaries have long been in possession of Mr. A's meeting place, but they have not taken actual action for the purpose of fattening up and killing, and this time, it is time to slaughter this scapegoat......

But this meeting place has been banned, so can't I really sell my "Ring of Madness"?

Angel closed the newspaper with a sad look on his face.

"Miss Watson, I've found a clue about Barron, so I've used these potions to contact you, and I hope to report back to you in person."

In Angel's new magic mirror, Sherman's slightly neutral face is a little hazy.

"I'll get over as soon as possible, is it at your house, or at the bar last time?"

Angel looked at his pocket watch, it was not yet noon, and there was still some time before the tarot meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon, so he agreed to the meeting.

"At the 'Oak Bar', the place was closed for a brawl between gangsters," Sherman continued after a moment with a hesitant look on his face, "Also, during the search for Barron, I commissioned a friend, a bounty hunter, who offered a lot of help, but ......"

"But you promised a reward?"

"Yes, 50 pounds, and if she finds something of value on Barron, she'll split it in half."

This price point is too cheap for the extraordinary and a bit expensive for the average person......

Angel thought about it, saw that Sherman in the mirror was a little uneasy, nodded and replied:

"Hopefully she's worth the price."

She didn't complain about the novice Assassin's own initiative, as appropriate flexibility in the mission was necessary, and those who were able to exert their initiative were more likely to succeed than their rigid subordinates.

As for the 50 pounds of remuneration, she could try to reimburse the hanged man who issued the commission, but she didn't take it to heart.

Now that Severia is missing, Angel urgently needs to find a new reimbursement recipient, and the hanged man is obviously very concerned about human trafficking, and this request should not be refused.

After several days of sunny weather, Beckland has finally returned to its usual smog, which may be related to the increased use of charcoal for heating in the winter, but it may be more due to the continuous emission of industrial exhaust gases from factories in the East and South Districts.

"I hope that the Air Pollution Investigation Committee will solve the problem of environmental pollution as soon as possible......"

After the wheels of the carriage were damaged by the "Good Luck" pistol that had been restored again, Angel, who was advancing on foot, held his hood and looked at the pale yellow haze that was spreading in the sky, as if it were endless, and silently sighed.

Entering the "oak bar" near Sherman's house, she soon found the somewhat restless "Assassin" in the corner of the cramped but lively tavern, next to him sat a diminutive stranger wearing a peaked cap common in the East End.

Quietly approaching, before Sherman could even notice it, the short stranger turned back alertly, and under the cap was a slightly immature and green face, which Angel almost thought she was an underage girl.

But the next moment, she recognized the "bounty hunter" in Sherman's mouth, she had met each other in the salon of Viscount Gleilint's house, and was now even a member of Audrey's "Little Occult Salon".

"Hugh Dilcha?"

Although it had already been confirmed, Angel still asked in a low voice, and the voice alarmed Sherman, who turned his back to her, and the latter turned his head abruptly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person coming, and hurriedly replied:

"Yes, you know her?"

"Of course I do, Miss Erin Watson, but I didn't expect Sherman to mess with you now."

Unlike the urbane and deliberately disguised in the salon, the "bounty hunter" at this time is quite ruffian, but it is also more in line with the atmosphere of the tavern.

"It's not about messing with me, it's just helping me find someone, it's paid, it's the same as your job, isn't it?"

Angel also found a small wooden stool to sit at the table, and replied with a smile, she saw Sherman's covert look, guessing that the other party did not want others to know that he was already extraordinary, so she quickly diverted the topic:

"I heard you know the clues about that Barron?"

"Of course, I've been staring at him for a while, and I can't get out of my hands on any of the things in the East End," Hugh picked up the large wooden cup on the table and took a sip of ale, which drew Sherman's worried look before continuing, "But I have a doubt, I know that Barron is wanted by several countries, but not Rune, what are you looking for him for?" ”

Between the words, a faint sense of oppression was already permeating the table, which originated from this short woman, making her appear more majestic and tall.

But Angel had only endured a higher level of extraordinary ability yesterday and was convinced that its effect was related to the gap in the sequence between the two, and the bounty hunter was obviously also an extraordinary person in the "Arbiter" sequence, but the sequence should not be high, only sequence 8 at most.

It's no wonder Sherman is upset, not just because of the fear of revealing his identity as an extraordinary person in front of his friends, but because of the effects of some extraordinary ability......

Remembering that Sherman had said that she had a "bounty hunter friend", she nodded knowingly.

"If I were you, I wouldn't use my abilities in front of an extraordinary person who doesn't know the details," Angel smiled even more, signaling that he was completely unaffected, "and the person who entrusted me with Barron is indeed not in Rune. ”

He's not even in the Northern Continent...... Angel added in her mind.

"So, let's stop beating around the bush and talk about how to catch this guy and the reward for you."
