Chapter 31 The Recipient

"What?" Fors touched her earlobe, suspecting that she had heard wrong.

The beautiful, innocent, curious, and ignorant Miss Audrey would actually give assassination missions!

And the target is the ambassador of Intis, a powerful country in the Northern Continent!

Xio was relatively slow about this, and replied hesitantly:

"Our strength, no, is not enough to complete this task."

The first thing she measures is the difficulty of the task!

Audrey ignored Forsi's question and let them imagine the reason for themselves, dimpled and said shallowly:

"I'm not asking you to accept the entrustment yourself, but I hope that you can find a Beyonder who is capable of completing it, such as Mr. A. I will pay 4,000 gold pounds for this. Of course, this is only my preliminary quotation, and the details can still be discussed. .”

"If the matter succeeds in the end, I will give you 500 pounds as a fee. Even if it fails, there will be 200 pounds, because you have taken the risk."

Her accumulated uninvested annuity balance plus the remaining rewards looks like 13,000 pounds, but if she uses too much at once, it will definitely attract the attention of Earl Hall, and even Bavat Bank will do it. After certain investigations and calculations, she thinks that 5,000 pounds is the critical point, and it is best not to exceed it.

4,000 gold pounds... Xio heard her heavy breathing, but she quickly became frustrated. She knew very well that she would not be able to accept this task.

Just using our name to invite other Extraordinary, there will be a reward of 500 pounds... Miss Audrey is the most generous, generous and beautiful girl I have ever seen! Hugh quickly returned to reality.

While Forsi's heart was moving, her mind was full of doubts:

Why did Miss Audrey entrust such a task?

The turmoil in the aristocratic circle?

A prelude to a premeditated war?

Certain big figures represented by Earl Hall want the situation to become chaotic?

…………

The two quickly contacted Mr. A through the agreed channel. At three o'clock in the afternoon, when the rare sunlight penetrated the fog and illuminated the entire Backlund, they came to the house where the party was held before, and saw Mr. Hooded, sitting cross-legged,

Mr. A is condescending.

"You said you had something important to do with me?" Mr. A's eyes moved back and forth between the two ladies.

I heard that some female Beyonders exchanged their bodies for potion ingredients from Mr. A... He is really a disgusting pervert... Forsi smiled slightly:

"There is a big deal, I wonder if you are interested?"

Mr. A swept Xio's face, smiled lowly and said:

"Tell me, let me hear what a big deal it is."

Resisting the urge to pull out the triangular thorn, Xiu said in the tone of an arbitrator:

"Assassinate Intis' ambassador to the Kingdom, Bakerland Jean Madan."

Mr. A suddenly fell silent, but because his expression was covered by the shadow of the hood, Xio and Forsi couldn't guess what he was thinking.

After a while, he leaned back slowly, and said in a deep voice:

"So, what's the reward?"

"4000 gold pounds. In addition, we will provide corresponding information. For example, Ambassador Bakerland is a Sequence 6 Conspirator of the 'Hunter' pathway, and there is an assistant who may be a Sequence 5. For example, his weakness is beauty. Hugh tried to make Mr. A feel that the task was promising.

Mr. A smiled and said:

"I can take this task, but the reward must be increased."

"The first option is the potion formula of 'Darkless One', 'Officer of Disaster', 'Prophet' or 'Manipulator', of course, their value is higher than this task, it doesn't need to be complete, just some parts are fine. "

"The second option is 10,000 gold pounds. Heh, this is the amount of reward offered by 'Vice Admiral Hurricane' Qilingus. Bakerland's strength is definitely not as good as him, but he has powerful assistants, and, believe me, he There is definitely a magical item on him."

A reasonable price, but also an exaggerated price... Xio and Fors looked at each other and said:

"Let's go back and discuss it, and I'll give you an answer here at this time tomorrow."

"Yes." Mr. A gestured to see off the guests.

After being led out of the house by the attendant, Fors murmured suspiciously:

"Those are high-sequence formulas?"

"Frankly speaking, I'm very strange. I thought that Mr. A would only ask for formulas or potion materials. Money should not be a necessity for him."

Xio glanced sideways at his friend:

"Forsi, you are really just a simple clinic doctor and writer. You must know that Mr. A must have many subordinates. They need houses to sleep, food to eat, clothes to buy, and desires to vent. All of these must be exchanged for money. Besides, for some ruined nobles, as long as they have gold pounds, what can't they sell?"

"Mr. A without his subordinates will be equally terrifying, but his news will be very closed."

"That's something all the little gangsters on the East Side know."

Forsi frowned and said, "Hugh, you're not that stupid..."

In the evening, the two met the familiar golden retriever dog at the predetermined place, and passed Mr. A's reply to Audrey.

After reading the note, Audrey was not only not embarrassed, but heaved a long sigh of relief.

To her, it was wonderful to be able to solve the ambassador's affairs with 10,000 gold pounds!

I can only use 5,000 pounds for the time being, and I have to pay Xio and Forsi 500 pounds... Well, I will borrow 6,000 pounds from Grelint first, no, 8,000 pounds, my daily expenses cannot expose the problem , and then repay him in four to five months, with an interest of 1,000 pounds... I will be very tight until the new year, and I can only use 1,000 pounds a month... Audrey quickly made a decision, and then burned the original paper Article, written on new paper:

"The second option is to pay 2,000 pounds in advance and give the remaining 8,000 pounds after the task is completed."

…………

At No. 15 Minsk Street, Klein met Mary Gale again during tea time.

He took the initiative to make an appointment through Mrs. Starling Summer.

"Ms. Mary, after following up, I found out that your husband went to the Cragg Club, and I couldn't enter because I was not a member of them, but according to my observation, only a young lady came out half an hour after your husband left , Her name is Erica Taylor, and she lives at No. 126 New Year Road, Hillston District. She used to work for Coim Company for a while, but she is still unemployed. I took a picture of her leaving the Kragg Club. "

"I'm unemployed, but I can still live in Hillston District..." Starling sneered.

Mary remained silent for a few seconds with a gloomy expression:

"You have to get substantial evidence of their intimacy, um... it's the Cragg Club, right? I'll find two members to introduce you to the club, but your profile must be filled with 'well-known detective', and no one will take you in , it is very likely that we will not be able to make it in time.”

"Okay." Klein hesitated, but still asked, "Who will pay the membership fee?"

"I will be responsible for the initial membership dues. This is a thank you for your efficiency. If you want to stay in the club, you will be responsible for the annual dues, which are about 15 pounds." Mary's eyes seemed to have flames burning.

The annual fee is 15 pounds, so the initial membership fee is at least 50 pounds... a high-end club... Ms. Mary, you are so generous! Klein immediately nodded and said:

"I'll give you the evidence as soon as possible."

…………

After dinner, Klein went out again and continued to the "Brave Bar" in the Backlund Bridge area.

This one is to show his panic and helplessness in front of the special military department and the secret police. It seems that he wants to try any self-help method. The second is to deceive the middle-sequencer of the "Seer" path under the ambassador.

Regarding the gray fog, Klein believed that the gentleman or lady would not be able to divination, including his own resurrection and past events, including the "Foul Words" spell that was successfully produced with the help of the "True Creator".

This is a powerful item that can definitely affect the other party. Klein must keep himself insecure and crazily grasping at various straws in order to mislead the other party and improve his chances of winning.

In the dark sky, Klein entered the bar.

Before he could ask for a glass of beer, he saw Kaspers, a red-nosed old man, standing in front of the "dogs chasing mice" arena with his chest folded.

"It just so happened that Maric was looking for you." Kaspers spotted Klein and immediately limped over.

"Maric looking for me?" Klein asked in surprise.

He subconsciously touched Azik's copper whistle in his pocket, thinking about what excuse he should use to decline.

In other words, wrapping the copper whistle with one's own spirituality will not cause the mutation of the living corpse? It's not that Mr. Ards has never been to the cemetery before, and he has never seen a corpse attack him... Klein's spirit suddenly tensed up.

Before he could think of an excuse, he saw Maric, with a pale face and eyes that seemed to hide malice, coming from the other side, and there were no living corpses around him.

What about his corpse? Klein thought half puzzled and half relieved.

Maric pointed to the card room, and walked over there first. Klein watched from afar and followed after seeing that there were no living corpses inside.

"Is there something?" Klein asked first.

Maric in a white shirt and black vest sat down on the card table, stared into Klein's eyes and said:

"Is your commission still valid?"

"Huh?" Klein couldn't react immediately.

"A friend of mine is short of money recently and is willing to accept this commission. She is stronger than me and should be able to protect you. However, she only protects you for three days, and the price is 1,000 pounds." Maric said in a low voice.

Why did the Extraordinary who was willing to accept the entrustment appear after I had "Foul Words"... However, this is also good, and it can confuse the Extraordinary on the ambassador's side even more. When he tries his best to defeat Maric's friend, I The probability of success will become extremely high... The only problem is how to be sure that Maric's friend is reliable... Well, go to the gray mist for divination... Klein pondered for a while and said:

"Give me time to think about it and raise money, it's not a small sum."

"Also, it's best to protect me in a hidden way, so that no one will know. As for the three days of protection, it's up to me to decide, and it must be within these two weeks."

Of course, the "Seer" can definitely detect it... Klein silently added.

As for the issue of money, he had already considered it at the beginning. If selling off Meursault's Extraordinary characteristics was not enough, he would ask Miss Justice. Anyway, he had already prepared the groundwork, and Roselle's diary also included There is a lot of knowledge that can be sold. Of course, if the price is really unaffordable, then forget it.

Now, although Meursault's Extraordinary characteristic has become the "Foul Words" spell, Miss "Justice" is still there, and she still owes the money worth the Sequence 8 "Prayer" formula and the secret order information. Combining the two, 1,000 pounds is enough!
