"Extraordinary traits, or gold pounds?"

Angel held the box containing the extraordinary properties of Barron's precipitated and looked at Hugh Dilcha, who had just confirmed through the magic mirror that this was the extraordinary characteristic of a "criminal" pathway sequence 9, that is, Barron who precipitated it was both a criminal in the legal sense and a "criminal" in the occult sense.

Hugh had a pensive look on his face, and he didn't answer immediately. Choosing the gold pound, Angel will give her another 100 pounds, and choosing the extraordinary trait, she will have to return the previous 25 pounds, whether to ask for cash, or the extraordinary trait that can make an extra profit after selling, which puts her in a dilemma.

At this time, the three of them had been tossing and turning in the East End for half an hour, and after doing proper anti-tracking, they came to the place where the East End meets the dock area, in an alley on the banks of the Tasok River.

Prior to the operation, Angel promised her £50 in cash and half of Barron's own belongings in return for Hugh's place to live, and although the results of the psychic Heras suggested that they were linked to the military or even the royal family, and therefore could not take anything else, Angel kept his promise to give a portion of the "loot" for the bounty hunter to choose.

Of course, in this operation, she herself was the one who gained the most, not only getting clues worth 500 pounds, but also grazing a Sequence 6 "judge", gaining three extraordinary abilities with unique effects.

One is the "ban" that Heras has used in battle many times, unlike the Demon Language, the "ban" is not limited to a unique rule, but as long as the "forbidden here" is pronounced in the ancient Hermetic language, a short paragraph will take effect within a certain range, and the scope of the impact and the duration of the effect depend on the user's sequence, and it is also related to the specific content of the ban.

"Ban on the use of revolvers" and "Ban on the use of firearms" will have a better duration and effect than the latter.

The second is "exile", which can create an invisible and majestic force to drive the specified object away from him, which Heras also used in the previous battle, and the usage is quite unique, he did not designate a person, but "exiled" a large number of black flames released by Angel at the same time, blowing them away.

Finally, there is an ability that is better than nothing, "Deterrence", the user can intimidate the people around him by shouting loudly, so that they want to give in to the bottom of their hearts, although this is an ability that the "Arbiter" path can use in Sequence 9, but if released by the "Judge", even low-level extraordinaries like Hugh and Sherman are difficult to resist.

After recalling the "judge" ability of herding in his mind, Angel saw that Hugh was still a little hesitant, and turned his eyes to Sherman on the side, who had recovered from the tension after the killing, and looked at Hugh and then at Angel, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

"Sherman, you've done a good job in this operation, finding the real Barron through your own channels and stopping him from trying to escape, huh...... This will count as your contribution in the Sect and be used to exchange for potions recipes when you are promoted. ”

Angel wanted to promise some other rewards, but because he was too shy, he could only write a blank check.

Fortunately, Sherman just nodded slowly.

"Sectarian ...... Are you members of a secret organization? Why track down human traffickers like Barron? ”

Hugh interjected with a frown.

"You don't need to know this, and tracking down Barron is just a personal commission I received, you pick the reward you need, don't bother about this matter in the future, Barron and Heras, who died just now, are probably doing some shady business for the military or the royal family, and you will not end well if you are too deeply involved."

Angel persuaded, and suddenly thought that Hugh was likely to reveal the matter to Firth, who she knew, and even Audrey, Gleilint and other nobles, and hurriedly added:

"Don't mention it to anyone else on other occasions, it's for your own good."

"You mean the young lady and her friends? I know. ”

Hugh raised his eyebrows, indicating that he understood what Angel really meant.

Then she looked at the "criminal" characteristic in Angel's hand, pursed her lips, and said:

"I chose this extraordinary trait, it should be worth more than 200 pounds, right?"

"Yes, if you can sell it at some of the parties, the extra part counts as ...... Let's cooperate with sincerity in the future. ”

The characteristics of the "criminal" sequence are not easy to sell, in Angel's mind, its actual value is only about 150 pounds, in addition to the 25 pounds returned from the recess, she only needs to pay an additional 125 pounds to gain the friendship of a well-connected bounty hunter in the East End, and it can also allow her not to reveal her identity, which is quite cost-effective.

Of course, when he got back the 25 pounds and handed over the trait, Angel still had some heartache, whether it was worth it or not was a rational analysis, and the negative emotions that came out of the extraordinary trait were all emotional.

After the "spoils" were finished, she looked in the direction of the time, and the streets and alleys of the Eastern District were still quiet, with no pursuers and no police patrols.

"Then, let's go our separate ways, Sherman, I suggest you rent another place immediately, you should know about your search for Barron recently, if the other party has the intention to track you, it will be easy to find your location, this bounty hunter lady should have a lot of experience in this kind of thing, you can ask her for help."

Angel wanted to leave just like that, but after thinking about it, he reminded the rookie assassin a few words.

"I'll take a good look at him," Hugh nodded as well, looking at Sherman, whose face had become serious, "You go home and clean up, follow me to the safe house first, hide for the next few days, don't meet up with those drinking friends of yours, and come out again after the limelight is over." ”

When he was not in a state of battle, Sherman regained his submissive temperament, and under Hugh's leadership, he quietly left in his cloak, and Angel also hid in place and left through another alley.

She plans to go back to the safe house in the East Side first, report to Mr. Fool and the hanged man what she found tonight, and if they agree, report the human trafficking case to the official Extraordinary overnight.

"Forthth, I'm back."

In Joewood, in the hut they shared, Folth was working on a manuscript when she heard Hugh Dilcha arrive home, she only looked up to indicate that she knew, and then turned her gaze to the manuscript paper on the table.

Recently, Firth has entrusted the Hanged Man of the Tarot Society and Mr. Sun with the task of finding "the blood of the deep-sea marlin" and "the stomach pouch of the Soul Eater", both of which are the main materials for Sequence 8 "Master of Tricks", worth more than 600 pounds in total, which is more than her entire savings, including the portion that she owes herself.

Therefore, the originally lazy writer lady was full of enthusiasm to negotiate the content of the new book with the publishing house, planning to drive out the first draft before the end of the year, earn a lot of manuscript fees, and plan for her own promotion.

She had been thinking about the outline of this new book for a long time, and after joining the Tarot Society and listening to everyone's experiences, she revised some of the content, forming a story that integrates elements of exploration, battle, aristocratic feuds, and unspeakable fears.

"I can see you rushing to the manuscript every day when I come back, and if you are really short of money, I can lend you some."

Hugh, who had not returned all night, hung his cloak by the door, leaned over to look at the manuscript on the table, and was instantly dazzled by the dense pages of words, and took two steps back as if he was hiding from something, and said.

"No, it's not a lack of money, it's a sense of urgency......" Furth put down his pen and looked seriously at his friend, "you know what that feels like?" The people around me are either rich or powerful, and I am mixed up in it, and I don't even dare to speak......"

"Powerful...... Are you talking about me? ”

Hugh asked puzzled, she had only recently purchased a special item through Furth that could replace the main material of the "Sheriff's" potions, and was promoted to Sequence 8, which also saddled her with a heavy debt, and traveled back and forth between the East and the Docklands every day, looking for wanted criminals on the bounty, or helping others complete some extraordinary commissions that were within their means, and earn a more or less payment.

"Stronger than you...... I'm not saying you're not strong, but she's the kind of, well, I'm afraid one finger can crush us to death, and the protagonist of my book is her, calm, strong, and full of a sense of justice. There was a hint of longing in Furth's eyes, but it was hidden for a moment, "But alas, I made a vow not to tell you the details of that meeting." ”

"Well, I can understand."

Hugh didn't think so, she had only promised some powerful extraordinary the night that she would not reveal her to anyone else, but the "sheriff" could be sure that Miss Erin Watson was definitely more powerful than the extraordinaire that Furth had spoken of.

Thinking of this, she also had a trace of longing, which was an instinctive envy of a powerful force, and the two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and both looked away, hiding the secret of their hearts.

"By the way, Firth, will anyone buy extraordinary traits at that party you're talking about?"

Hugh suddenly thought of his last night's gain, pulled out the bullet box in his pocket, carefully pushed the lid open, and displayed the "criminal" characteristics that Barron had precipitated after his death, and continued:

"Can you try to sell it for me? If I can sell it for a good price, I think I'll be able to pay off the money I owe you. ”

She now has a strong desire to pay off her debts and be promoted, not only because she has seen the battle of the truly powerful extraordinary, but also because she finally found a clue to the truth of her father's death in last night's operation.

"The military, and the royal family, I will investigate them one by one!"

She thought to herself.
