Franca finished "Magic Mirror Divination", looked at Jenna, and began to interpret the answer just now:

"Normally speaking, there is danger, but it is within the range we can bear. If we are careful, there should be no problem."

Jenna said with slight surprise, "I thought Divination the result would be very clear."

Who would have known that such a long series of interpretations would be needed in just one sentence.

"It's very clear!" Franca emphasized with a smile, "If you go to Fortune-Telling Club in Memorial Hall District and find amateur players, they will be more vague, so that you can make interpretations that are beneficial to you after getting the results. Well, haven't you found someone to do Divination before?"

Jenna nodded calmly.

It costs a lot of money to make a Divination!

Franca Eyes rotated slightly, as if thinking, "You can subscribe to "Spiritism" "Lotus" "Esoterica" "Veil of Mystery" is one of these magazines. Although they all have quite a few problems with Error in terms of specific applications, the basic knowledge about Mysticism is still quite good.

"Ah, yes, Charles often buys these kinds of magazines. You can go, uh, I'll borrow them for you!"

"Okay." Jenna had only heard of those Mysticism magazines before, but had never bought them.

After obtaining the fairly good result of Divination, the two people who had inspected the route and environment during the day quickly arrived at the entrance of Deep Valley Quarry under the cover of night.

Gatekeeper, who was in his forties, huddled in the "hut" naturally formed by the rocks, with his back against the mountain wall, covered with a dirty, old and thin felt cloth, his head tilted, sleeping soundly.

A slender and smooth palm suddenly stretched out from the dark shadow on his side and covered his mouth with a white handkerchief.

Gatekeeper did not struggle, and went from Slumber to coma in just a few seconds.

Franca wearing black Hood stepped out of the shadows and sighed:

"The drug 'Bliss Society' is really effective and has saved me a lot of trouble."

For this operation, she specifically asked Lumian to borrow the bottle of poison from Rentas.

"Isn't it better to just knock him out?" Jenna said he couldn't understand.

"It's not impossible." Franca explained casually, "But that would leave traces and it would be impossible to disguise him as sleeping soundly. And there are many Bounty Hunter and Private Detective involved in this mission. We should not be the only ones eyeing this Quarry. If there is a better way, it is better to be careful when handling details than to leave hidden dangers."

Jenna, who has lived with Botanical Garden District and Market District for many years, probably understood what Franca meant. As he thought about it, he asked, "Are you worried that in the dead of night, those Bounty Hunter and Private Detective will have bad thoughts when they find out that we entered Quarry first?"

Franca nodded with satisfaction:

"Yes, many Bounty Hunter and Private Detective will seamlessly switch jobs to robbers, robbers and murderers depending on the time, environment and surrounding circumstances.

"They all take risks to make money rather than to protect Justice. Since there are no clues for this task for the time being, and the current environment is suitable, it is in line with their style to rob their colleagues and kill them to silence them. Anyway, there is no one else here.

"Of course, with our strength, we don't need to be afraid of those Bounty Hunter and Private Detective, but what if we commit similar Error in other things or in more dangerous situations? Therefore, we must form a habit from the beginning."

What Franca did not say is that as Women, there is a high probability that Pain will suffer more.

Jenna nodded slowly, agreeing with this reason.

She had seen Criminal kill an old man living alone just for 5 Felkine.

Franca then smiled and joked, "You want me to knock him out directly. Do you want to take revenge on him for asking you if you want to take the business?"

"Fuck! Am I such a stingy person?" Jenna and Library couldn't help but swear.

Whether it was the years when she was helping her mother with chores or the period when she was Market District and became Underground Singer, she was asked so many times whether she wanted to take over Streetwalker's business that she became numb and a little angry, but not much.

In order to prove his generosity, Jenna breathed out and said, "If you use that kind of drug to deal with others, it will remind me of what happened to me."

She was also fainted and almost became a missing victim, but luckily she met Lumian.

Franca said "hmm":

"I can understand your feelings, but since you have embarked on Divine Pathway and plan to become stronger, you will inevitably have to use various means to deal with the enemy in the future. You cannot give up a better choice just because you feel a little repulsed."

Jenna knew that what Franca said made sense, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Can't a Beyonder live an ordinary and quiet life without getting involved in various disputes and battles while protecting his family and friends?"

"It might have been possible in the past, but it's very difficult now, and it will become increasingly difficult as time goes by, until it's impossible." Franca sighed.

Jenna was silent for a moment and said, "In the future, in the long future, can it be realized?"

Franca glanced at Gatekeeper in "Slumber" and said, "The big shot That One told me that a similar life will have to wait until Fifth Epoch ends and the Sixth Age begins, if there is still a Sixth Age."

The Sixth Age... Jenna thought about this phrase for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed at himself and said, "Actually, I also know that that kind of life is just a delusion and cannot be realized, at least for me, it is impossible to realize. Own Extraordinary Ability, after completing another assassination, encountering injustice again, and seeing my family and friends become unfortunate, I will definitely want to use Extraordinary Ability to do something to solve problems that cannot be solved by the law and Police."

"That's right." Franca nodded gently.

She can digest "Assassin" and "Instigator" Potion, not just by dressing up like this, nor just by helping her friends in the Instigation way.

The two didn't talk any more. Franca bent down and picked up the string of Brass-Colored's Key from Gatekeeper.

"Just look at one door. Why are there so many Key? Are they from his home?" Franca muttered as he left the hut, walked to the door of Deep Valley Quarry, and tried out those Key one by one.

At the end of the trial, she said to herself in surprise and doubt, "It's not right..."

"None of them are correct?" Jenna never expected such a possibility.

If there is no Key that can open the entrance to Deep Valley Quarry, then what door is there to look at?

Franca was half teaching and half thinking, "Maybe this string of Key is a cover, and the real Key is hidden somewhere else."

She then said to Jenna, "Search the surroundings, and I'll take a look at that Gatekeeper."

Jenna had no objection, and relying on "Darkvision", starting from the "hut", he gradually searched the nearby grass and rock crevices.

Franca squatted next to Gatekeeper again, groping the other person's body from top to bottom.

When she reached her crotch, she bent her fingers, flicked them hard, sneered and whispered, "Jenna is not stingy, I am stingy!"

After the search, the two men met at the heavy Wooden Door and shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they had gained nothing.

Franca clicked his tongue and said, "There is indeed something wrong with this Quarry.

"That guy is really Gatekeeper. He is only responsible for guarding the door and has no ability to open the door!"

"Do you want to go in?" Jenna asked hesitantly.

"I'll try again." Franca stretched his right hand towards the copper lock embedded in the heavy Wooden Door.

Dense white frost emerged from her palms and poured into the keyhole, filling it up.

The hoarfrost accumulates and piles up, eventually turning into solid ice.

Franca used his ability to pull out the ice cube and got a transparent Key.

Can it still be like this? Jenna was surprised and yearning to see it.

Sensing her gaze, Franca said slightly proudly, "I Have a Friend, I really have a friend who is very good at picking locks. We have discussed how to use the ability of 'Witch' to pick locks."

After making the ice cube more solid, Franca reinsert it into the keyhole and twist it gently.

With a clicking sound, the heavy Wooden Door opened.

Franca took back the ice key and let it melt away, eliminating all traces.

Before entering Deep Valley Quarry, this "Witch" hung the brass string Key back on Gatekeeper's waist, and adjusted his posture to make him look more like he was in Slumber.

After doing all this, Franca took out the money bag filled with Coins and took out a thick iron-colored ring covered with tiny spikes.

"This is the 'Ring of Punishment' I mentioned before. You can wear it today.

"I have already talked about how to use it and what the taboos are. There is only one thing you need to remember: you cannot use it more than three times in an hour.

"Also, take it off immediately after the operation is over and put it back into this Coin Pouch."

"Okay." Jenna stretched out his left hand and allowed Franca to put the iron-colored ring on his middle finger through skin contact.

Franca was inexplicably happy. He pulled Hood, pushed Wooden Door away, and walked into Deep Valley Quarry.

After Jenna followed in, she closed Wooden Door with her backhand and kept it locked.

In this way, it is almost impossible to find out from the outside that someone has entered this place Quarry.

Franca and Jenna are both "Assassin" who own Darkvision. Although they did not bring Carbide Lamp, they could still easily see the scene behind the door:

This is a very shabby Tunnel, with a lot of moss growing around it, and the stone wall above it has criss-crossing cracks, and it seems that a piece will fall off at any time.

Not far along Tunnel, there is Cavern, which is not fundamentally different from Underground.

Jenna and Franca searched carefully for nearly two quarters of an hour, looking through the entire non-collapsed area, which was not large, and did not find any suspicious details.

"I feel like there's a big problem here." Franca whispered after returning to the position close to Tunnel.

The less abnormal it is, the more strange it seems that Gatekeeper didn't even open the door Key.

Jenna thought about it and said, "Maybe I'm just afraid that someone will break into this place and Mine collapses, so I might as well take away Key."

"Gatekeeper's duty is only to intercept, not to open the door."

Franca was about to say something when he suddenly heard a clicking sound.

That's the sound of the Deep Valley Quarry door being opened!

Franca and Jenna looked at each other and immediately hid in a hidden place not far from the exit of Tunnel.

Quarry The door slowly opened, and the Carbide Lamp light dyed a little blue shone in, dispelling the darkness inside Tunnel.

Franca and Jenna looked secretly and saw a man wearing a gray Robe suit.

The man had a white apron around his waist that Stonemason often wore in ancient times. Hood hung it behind his neck without wearing it.

This is the standard outfit of "God of Steam and Machinery" Church Ascetic or Monks.

The Monks was holding a radiant Carbide Lamp, with short dark black hair and a picture book. There were a large number of Iron Gray Gears, screws and springs inlaid around the left eye, which together supported an emerald green crystal fake eye.
