"Beyonder Characteristic, or Gold Pound?"
Angel held the box containing Beyonder Characteristic precipitated by Baelen and looked at Xio Derecha. Just now she had confirmed through Magic Mirror Divination that it was "Criminal" The Beyonder Characteristic of Pathway Sequence 9, that is to say, the Baelen that extracted it is both Criminal in the legal sense and "Criminal" in the mystical sense.
Xio had a thoughtful expression on his face and did not answer immediately. If she chooses Gold Pound, Angel will give her another 100 pounds. If she chooses Beyonder Characteristic, she will have to return the previous 25 pounds. She is in a dilemma whether she wants cash or Beyonder Characteristic, which can make more money after selling.
At this time, the three of them had been wandering around East Borough for half an hour. After doing appropriate counter-tracking, they arrived at the junction of East Borough and Docklands, in an alley beside Tussock River.
Before the action, as a reward for Hugh providing Baelen's residence, Angel promised her 50 pounds in cash and half of Baelen's own belongings, although because Spirit Channeling Harras The results of suggested that they were related to the military or even the royal family, so they could not take away other property. However, Angel still kept his promise and gave some of the "trophies" for Bounty Hunter to choose from.
Of course, in this operation, she herself was the one who gained the most. Not only did she get clues worth 500 pounds, but she also grazed a Sequence 6 "Judge" and gained three extraordinary abilities with unique effects.
One is "Prohibition" which Harras has used many times in battle. Unlike Devil's words, "Prohibition" is not limited to a unique rule, but only with Ancient Hermes pronounces "Forbidden Here", and the following short paragraph will take effect within a certain range. The size of the affected area and the effect time depend on the user's Sequence level, and are also related to the specific content of Prohibition.
Compared with "No Revolvers" and "No Firearms", the duration and effect of the former will be better than that of the latter.
Second, "Exile" can create an invisible majestic force to drive designated objects away from oneself. Harras has also used it in the previous battle, and the usage is quite unique. He did not specify a specific person, but "Exile" a large number of Black Flame released by Angel at the same time to blow them away.
Finally, there is an ability that is better than nothing, "Intimidation". The user can yell at people around Intimidation to make them want to surrender in their hearts, although this is "Arbiter" Pathway is an ability that can be used by Sequence 9, but if it is released by "Judge", even Low Sequence Beyonder like Sherman will find it difficult to resist.
After recalling Grazing's "Judge" ability in his mind, Angel was still a little hesitant when he saw Xio, and turned his attention to Sherman who was aside. The latter had already recovered from the tension after the murder. He looked at Xio and then at Angel, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Sherman, you performed well in this operation. You found the real Baelen through your own information channels, and stopped him from trying to escape. Well... this will be counted as your contribution to the sect and can be used to exchange for the Potion formula when you are promoted."
Angel wanted to boldly promise some other rewards, but considering that he was short of money, he could only write a bad check in the end.
Fortunately, Sherman just nodded slowly.
"Sect... are you members of a secret organization? Why are you tracking human traffickers like Baelen?"
Quinn interjected with a frown.
"You don't need to know this, and tracking Baelen is just a private commission I received. You choose the reward you need and don't ask about it in the future. Baelen and Harras, who died just now, are probably doing some shady business for the military or the royal family. You will not end well if you are too involved."
Angel persuaded, suddenly thinking that Xio might reveal the matter to Fors she knew, or even Audrey, Glaint and other nobles, she quickly added:
"Don't mention this to other people on other occasions. This is for your own good."
"You mean that Miss and her friends? I understand."
Xio raised his eyebrows, indicating that he understood what Angel really meant.
Then she looked at the "Criminal" feature on Angel's hand, pursed her lips, and said:
"I choose this Beyonder Characteristic. It should be worth more than 200 pounds, right?"
"Yes, the premise is that you can sell it at some parties, and the extra part can be regarded as... sincerity for future cooperation."
The characteristics of "Criminal" Sequence are not easy to deal with. In Angel's heart, its actual value is only about 150 pounds. Excluding the 25 pounds returned from the prologue, she only needs to pay an extra 125 pounds to gain the friendship of Bounty Hunter, who is well-connected in East Borough. It also allows her not to reveal her identity, which is quite cost-effective.
Of course, after getting back the 25 pounds and handing over the features, Angel was still a little heartbroken. Whether it was a good deal or not was a rational analysis, while the negative emotions Beyonder Characteristic felt from his hands were entirely emotional.
After "dividing the spoils", she looked in the direction she was looking. The East Borough streets over there were still quiet, with no pursuing soldiers or police patrols.
"Then, let's all leave separately. Sherman, I suggest you find a place to rent immediately. Many people should know that you are looking for Baelen recently. If the other party is interested in tracking, it will be easy to find your location. This Bounty Hunter Miss has rich experience in dealing with this kind of thing. You can ask her for help."
Angel wanted to leave right away, but after thinking about it, he reminded the rookie assassin a few words.
"I'll keep an eye on him." Xio also nodded and looked at Sherman, who looked serious. "You go home and clean up. Follow me to the safe house first. You can hide away for a few days and don't meet your drinking buddies. Don't come out until the limelight is over."
When not in a fighting state, Sherman returned to his submissive temperament. Under Xio's leadership, he quietly left in his cloak. Angel also became invisible and left from another alley.
She planned to go back to East Borough's safe house to report tonight's findings to Mr. Fool and Hanged Man. If the other party agreed, she would also report the human trafficking case to the official Beyonder overnight.
"Fors, I'm back."
Cherwood Borough, in the small house they shared, Fors was working on a manuscript. When she heard the sound of Xio Derecha arriving home, she just raised her head to express her understanding, and then turned her eyes to the manuscript paper on the table.
Recently, Fors asked Hanged Man and Mr. Sun of "Tarot Club" to find "Deep Sea Spearfish's blood" and "Spirit Eater's Stomach" respectively. " tasks, these are the main materials for Sequence 8 and "Trickmaster", with a total value of more than 600 pounds, which has exceeded all her savings, including the part she owed herself.
Therefore, Author Miss, who was originally lazy, actively negotiated the content of the new book with the publisher, and planned to publish the first draft before the end of the year, earn a lot of royalties, and plan for his own promotion.
She has been thinking about the outline of this new book for a long time, and after joining Tarot Club, she revised some contents after listening to everyone's experiences, forming a story that integrates elements such as adventure, battle, noble grudges, and unspeakable fear. At this time, she is flooded with ideas, and the first draft is expected to be completed in about ten days.
"Every day when I come back, I see you working on a manuscript. If you are really short of money, I can lend you some."
Xio, who hadn't returned home all night, hung his cloak by the door and came over to look at the manuscript on the table. His eyes were instantly dazzled by the dense words on the page. He took two steps back as if to avoid something and said.
"No, this is not a lack of money, but a sense of urgency..." Fors put down his pen and looked at his friend seriously, "Do you know that feeling? The people around me are either rich or powerful, but I am among them, and I don't even dare to speak..."
"Powerful... are you talking about me?"
Xio asked in confusion. She had recently bought a special item through Fors that could replace "Sheriff" Potion Main Materials, and was promoted to Sequence 8. This also made She was burdened with a heavy debt, and traveled back and forth between East Borough and Docklands every day, looking for wanted criminals with bounties on them, or helping others complete some commissions that Beyonder could do, earning more or less rewards.
"Stronger than you... I'm not saying that you are not strong, but she is the kind of Beyonder who, well, I'm afraid she can crush us to death with one finger. The protagonist of my book is her, calm, strong, and full of Justice sense." Fors showed a trace of longing in his eyes, but hid it for a moment, "But unfortunately, I made a vow not to tell you the details of that party."
"Yeah, I understand."
Xio didn't take it seriously. She had just agreed to a certain powerful Beyonder last night and could not reveal her affairs to others, but this "Sheriff" could be sure that Irene Watson Miss must be more powerful than the Beyonder Fors said.
Thinking of this, she also felt a trace of longing in her heart, which was the instinctive envy of powerful power. The two looked at each other in silence for a moment, then both looked away, hiding the secrets in their hearts.
"By the way, Fors, at the party you mentioned, will anyone buy Beyonder Characteristic?"
Xio suddenly thought of what he had gained last night. He took out the bullet box in his pocket, carefully pushed open the lid, and showed the "Criminal" characteristics that were released after the death of Baelen, and continued:
"Can you try to sell it for me? If you can sell it for a good price, I think I can pay off the money I owe you."
She now has an extremely strong desire to pay off her debts and be actively promoted. This is not only because she witnessed the battle of the truly powerful Beyonder, but also because she finally got a clue to the truth about her father's death during her actions last night.
"The military, as well as the royal family, I will investigate them one by one!"
She thought to herself.
