Varina briefly talked about the process of finding the witch Qili and reaching a deal with her.

He concealed the information related to the Witch Sect, and only said that he promised to help the other party complete some tasks after becoming an Extraordinary.

"The other party is a Sequence 7 Beyonder. To be on the safe side, it's better not to let her notice you."

Forsi nodded with deep understanding.

Xio glanced at Forsi and said proactively:

"If you need help, you can find a way to tell me. As long as it's not too dangerous, I can agree. Remember, I said I owe you a favor."

"thanks, I will."

Varina responded with a smile, and then asked: "You just wanted to ask about the Abraham family, right?"

He turned to look at the two ladies, saw them nodding, and then continued:

"I don't know much about the Abraham family. I only know that they are an extremely prominent family in the Fourth Age, and they master the magic potion formula of the 'apprentice' path."

"At the end of the Fourth Era or the beginning of the Fifth Era, they were affected by the 'Full Moon Rumblings' and inevitably declined. In the end, they may have changed their identities and hid."

"That's all I know, I hope it's useful to you."

After hearing these contents, Fors combined it with the words of the old lady who gave him the "apprentice" formula, and roughly understood that the old lady's deceased husband should be a member of the Abraham family.

"Thank you, your words made me understand something." Forsi forced a smile, "At least, now I understand how the 'Full Moon Rumblings' came about."

Forsi didn't want Xio to worry too much, so he added in a relaxed tone:

"Fortunately, I am not a member of the Abraham family. The 'full moon mumbling' I heard was very mild, and someone told me not to pay attention to this mumbling."

Xio carefully observed Forsi's expression, and after confirming that she didn't look like she was lying, her expression became much more relaxed.

Forsi didn't lie. The "Full Moon Whispers" really didn't have much impact on her at this stage, but when she encountered danger and used the "travel" bracelet, the situation would become serious.

Of course, only Varina knows this at the moment.

Next, they agreed on the need to use it as a secret code for meeting at the next party, and then left the cubicle one after another and returned to the hall downstairs.

About half an hour later, Mr. A announced that the party was over, and Varina left alone.

At about eleven o'clock at night, he returned to his residence in the Bridge District and wrote down the address and incision code told to him by the witch Qili on a piece of paper as a memo. He also found a map and determined its specific location.



The next morning.

Based on his impression of the map and asking for directions, Varina finally found the place where the witch Qili told him——

Ketra Law Offices, 18 Movas Street, Chorwood.

Today he was wearing a cheap formal suit and a black top hat. There was no obvious difference between him and most of the gentlemen walking around.

Varina opened the door and entered, standing in front of the beautiful lady in charge of reception.

The lady, with her brown hair in a bun, looked at Varina and asked with a smile:

"Sir, this is Ketra Law Firm. What do you need?"

Varina replied: "Legal advice."

The lady with brown hair looked at Varina again in surprise and continued to ask:

"So sir, what kind of legal advice do you need?"

"Contract dispute." Varina answered briefly.

The lady with bunted hair skillfully took out an album and put it on the table, and continued to ask:

"Sir, we have many solicitors and litigation lawyers here, including many senior lawyers. Would you like to take a look at the album and decide which lawyer to choose for inquiry?"

"No need," Varina said flatly, "I'll choose the one with the best eloquence."

The lady took back the album and said: "Okay, sir, you have chosen Mr. Figaro Foster, a mid-level solicitor. I will take you there right now."

Varina followed the woman with bunted hair through a semi-open work area with many employees and came to the door of an independent office.

After the lady knocked on the door as a reminder, she opened the door herself and motioned for Varina to enter.

Varina thanked the lady softly and went inside. Behind him, the lady helped him close the door again.

"I haven't seen you?"

Intermediate solicitor Figaro Foster stood up from his seat and looked at Varina up and down with his dark blue eyes.

This gentleman was dressed very formally, wearing a black double-breasted gown popular among the Backlund gentleman class, a bow tie as if attending a banquet, and the leather shoes on his feet were polished.

"Ms. Qili introduced me." Varina stood at the door without moving.

"That's it." Lawyer Figero nodded suddenly and pointed to the sofa next to him, "Sit down and let's talk slowly."

As soon as Varina sat down, Phigoro took the initiative and said: "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Phigoro, Sequence 8 'Instigator'. I am here to assign tasks."

"Varina, common man."

Figaro smiled and said, "You were introduced by Ms. Qili. I think you will be different from ordinary people soon."

He took out a stack of papers and put it on the coffee table, pushed it towards Varina, and explained:

"These are all the tasks we have received, covering all of Backlund. They are updated every three days. You can choose one from them to prove your extraordinary determination."

Varina only glanced at it and sighed in his heart, this world is really small.

These papers were all commission contracts, exactly the same as the one he stole from the Dead Eel Gang. The only difference was the content and handwriting of the handwritten text.

This is the "Party B" he was looking for before.

Varina pointed to the pattern representing "Party B" on the contract and asked, "What does this mean?"

"It's just a code name," Phigoro said casually after only glancing at it: "It doesn't have a formal name. But among the peripheral members, it does have a pretty good name."

"Dark Brotherhood."

"Not bad, right? Hehe, looking at the situation of this business, maybe in a few years, it might really grow and become a real Dark Brotherhood."

Varina turned over the contract and couldn't help but frown.

There is too little information on the contract.

Although he had long understood that becoming an "assassin" required killing people, he did not want to choose targets randomly, so he asked again:

"I also want to ask, how do I determine the difficulty of these tasks? I don't want to choose a target that is beyond my ability."

"Ha, good question."

Phagoro smiled and replied: "Choosing a target is a very profound knowledge."

"You can't choose ones that are too difficult. The risks are too high. They should be done by real assassins."

"Of course, you can't choose something that is too simple. A task that is too simple cannot fully prove your determination and will disappoint your superiors."

Varina met the other person's gaze and asked tentatively: "So, do you have any good suggestions?"
