Silveras Field is the nickname for the headquarters of the Backlund Police Department, named after the Silveras Street where it is located.

Mr. A is worthy of being the head of the Backlund branch of the "Aurora Society". His acting style is bold and crazy, and he directly sets the gathering place he hosts on West Vilas Street.

Fortunately, he still had sense. The specific location was at the end of the street, which was almost a whole street away from the police headquarters.

It's around 7pm.

Varina arrived at this street early by transferring to a steam train subway and a stagecoach.

Because he was carrying a dagger and a gun, he did not dare to hang around the Silveras Field too much. Instead, he found a street chair farther away and sat down, while flipping through the "Daily Observer" in his hand. While waiting for Hugh.

Xio told him yesterday that the news of Mr. A's party was released through a small life skills column in this newspaper. If you see that the column's tips involve occultism, it means that the next night There will be a party at eight o'clock.

He didn't wait long before he saw a double-decker public carriage parked near Silveras Field. Two ladies, one tall and one short, got off the bus. Judging from their height, they must be Xio and Forsi.

Varina stood up and walked over.

Xio was still wearing the traditional knight training uniform from yesterday, moving briskly.

She pointed to Forsi beside her and introduced:

"This is the friend I mentioned yesterday, Forsi Wall. She will also go to the Extraordinary gathering with us."

Forsi had slightly curly brown hair and was wearing a beige dress with a stand-up collar. She stood next to Xio and was looking at Warina with her light blue eyes.

"Ms. Fors, I am Varina Attano. I hope you can treat me as a friend." Varina stepped forward and said hello with a smile.

Forsi smiled slightly and nodded, "I hope you can find the magic potion formula you want today."

Warina nodded and said, "Thank you, I think so too."

The three of them walked along the street and came to an ordinary house. Xio walked up and knocked on the door at three long and two short intervals.

With a creak, the wooden door was opened from the inside, and the three of them entered together.

After entering the door, there is a very spacious hall, with many people sitting scattered inside. Some of them cover their appearance in various ways, such as relying on hoods and masks, while others don't care and do not deliberately disguise themselves.

The three Varinas belong to the category without deliberate disguise.

Facing the door, on a single sofa, sat a man wearing a black robe and a hood.

He stared at the visitors quietly, giving people a condescending feeling.

Xio came over and introduced in a low voice: "He is Mr. A, the convener of the party. He is a very powerful Beyonder."

Varina nodded imperceptibly, indicating that he heard.

Speaking of Mr. A's power, he knows much better than the two ladies around him. He is a nearly perfect "shepherd"!

It can almost be said that he is the strongest Beyonder below the level of a demigod.

Varina looked at the layout of the hall and found that the surrounding windows were covered with thick black curtains, so that even the bright light of the gas lamp could not penetrate.

In the middle of the hall, on both sides of Mr. A's seat, there are two large blackboards with lines of words written on them.

"What is written on it is the needs of the party members. No signature is required. Just write roughly what you want or what you hope to sell, as well as the approximate price and item requirements."

Forsi noticed Varina's gaze and took the initiative to introduce him.

Varina gave her a smile back, and then planned to carefully identify the requirements on the blackboard.

Of course what he was looking for was information related to the "Assassin" potion formula, but in fact the keywords were far less narrow.

For example, "Instigator" is a word that needs to be kept sensitive. In addition, the names of some extraordinary materials in the "Assassin" path are also worthy of attention.

Although he couldn't remember the specific potion formula, if he saw the name of the main ingredient, Varina felt that he should have a little impression.

Maybe it was party routine, maybe it was the performance of the Varina trio who were considered newcomers.

Anyway, before he could carefully read the contents on the blackboard, Mr. A’s attendant came over and said:

"You can write your needs on paper to me, or you can go to the small room during the rest period and write the items you want to sell on the blackboard."

The three of them each wrote a note and handed it to the attendant. Then they watched him go around in a circle, asking questions one by one, and collected a lot of notes.

The attendant mixed the notes and handed them to the companion in charge of the blackboard, asking him to register the information.

"I need the recipe for the 'Master of Magic' potion, the price is negotiable."

The waiter read it three times, copied the contents onto the blackboard, and then unfolded the next note.

"I want to buy the formula for the 'Assassin' potion."

Read the same thing three times and then write it on the blackboard, and then move on to the next one.

During this process, if someone is interested in a certain transaction, he can secretly apply for a room and wait for the transaction. After announcing all the demands, the waiter will announce the demands to be traded and the corresponding room number again.

Varina waited until the end and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when no one responded to her needs.

Of course, he wasn't the only one who was disappointed, as no one applied for a deal for the formula the two ladies needed.

Forsi sighed: "Oh, it seems that this trip is in vain. If I had known, I wouldn't... come."

She was just halfway through saying this when she was forced to stop by Xio's eyes. She completely lost the feeling of laziness, and in the end it became a bit subdued and withdrawn.

"Varina, formula trading rarely succeeds the first time. You have to be patient. Maybe it will happen next time."

Xio retracted her glare at Forsi and comforted Warina.

Varina nodded slightly, but what he was thinking about was, if there is really no one to trade, should he take the initiative to find Mr. A?

If so, what reason should be used?

Just as he was thinking about these questions, Mr. A said:

"Entering the rest stage, you can communicate as you like."

Forsi and Xio had no interest in communicating with others casually, so they retreated to the corner.

Varina adjusted his position and looked at the contents on the blackboard carefully. He skipped the ones he had just registered and mainly looked at the ones written before he came:

"Mummy powder, 10 grams, 5 pounds."

"Murloc slime, 30ml, 29 pounds."

"Adult Pegasus horn for sale, £220."



"Want to buy dried adult black-spotted frog."

"Three bottles of sleeping potion are urgently needed. The price is negotiable."

"Need a pair of succubus eyes."

His eyes suddenly focused: the eyes of a seductive succubus! He was impressed by this material.

This is definitely a witch, the main ingredient in the witch's potion!

This means that there is a "witch" in the party who is seeking promotion.

"Then why didn't she respond to my transaction request?"

Varina frowned, "Should I go find her?"

After much hesitation, Varina called the waiter and told him that he wanted to negotiate a deal with the person who was looking for the "eyes of the succubus."
