"Is there any other explanation for this?" Varina was a little confused. "From what you're saying, it seems that choosing the gold pound will affect my promotion to a certain extent?"

"Is such that."

"Actually, many experienced peripheral members have no chance to be promoted to 'Assassin' because they did not answer this multiple-choice question correctly. Of course, for you, there is no obstacle to becoming an 'Assassin', but it is still related to your subsequent promotion. .”

Phagoro played with his fingers and explained:

"This is a choice related to your personal intention. From the choice, you can reflect your attitude and pursue the extraordinary attitude."

"This is a task that tests your determination. If you still choose the reward, it means that you are not determined enough to pursue the extraordinary, but more for pleasure. After all, the potion formula is in the hands of the sect, and it cannot be obtained with gold pounds alone. of."

"You know, the sect is very generous when you display the right attitude."

Looking at Varina who looked suddenly enlightened, Figaro smiled and said, "I am speaking from the bottom of my heart. I will not tell others."

"How about it, have you thought about it?"

Phagoro spoke so straightforwardly, and the implication was that he had given Varina special preferential treatment.

He is laying the groundwork for a possible future request.

Varina failed to understand this meaning.

He just felt that although Phagoro might have a bad taste, he was indeed enthusiastic enough and the suggestions he gave were reasonable, so he nodded, "Of course I want to show the best attitude to the sect."

Phagoro clasped his palms together and said with a smile: "It's a good choice. I wish your sequence will continue to improve."

"Next, there's nothing I can do to help you, unless...you want to make some extra money."

Varina certainly has no such plans, at least not yet.

He stood up from the sofa and said: "In that case, I will leave first. I hope Ms. Qili can come early to help me get promoted."



After leaving Ketra Law Firm, Warina felt more confident and temporarily decided to transfer to another place.

He is going to join a shooting club and practice target shooting.

Ever since he bought the revolver from Caspars, he had been playing with it with blank ammunition. He had already become familiar with the weight and feel of the gun, and he only needed to practice his accuracy.

He had considered this matter before, but at that time he had not been able to find a way to obtain the formula, and he was not sure how many gold pounds it would cost, so he did not dare to spend his limited funds on this.

But the situation is different now. According to Figero, it should not be difficult for him to obtain the formula of the "Assassin" and "Instigator" potions now, so naturally he must make full use of the funds on hand to improve his abilities. .

Regarding the choice of club, he had already made an intention, which was just a block away on Balft Street.

With his mind made up, Varina walked on the street, his wandering eyes becoming purposeful.

Soon, he found a coat shop.

He was currently wearing a makeshift, cheap formal suit, which was inconspicuous when walking on the streets of Jowood District. However, if he just joined the shooting club, it would obviously not meet the level of clothing.

Therefore, the first thing he had to do was to change his outfit, a tuxedo formal suit and matching shirt, top hat, leather shoes, cane, pocket watch and wallet.

Only in this way can he look like a truly decent gentleman and not be conspicuous when entering a mid-range shooting club.

Faro's Clothing Shop, No. 77, Rue Moise.

"Sir, what do you want to buy?"

When Varina opened the door and entered, a male clerk in a white shirt and red vest came over and asked polite questions.

In the Kingdom of Loen, because the gentlemen with status, power, and wealth like to wear white shirts, black vests, black pants, and black formal suits, the colors are quite monotonous, so the male servants, shop assistants, and waiters are required to wear bright colors. , or colorful to show the difference.

In contrast, ladies and ladies dress in different colors and are richly decorated, so maids can only wear black with white, or white with black.

Varina did not rush to answer, but first looked around the layout of the entire store. The overall impression was not bad, and then replied:

"I want a complete tuxedo suit, including matching shirt, top hat, leather shoes and cane. The budget is within 10 pounds. Please recommend it."

When the clerk heard that it was a big deal, the smile on his face became more sincere, "Sir, please wait a moment, I will take you to choose."

The clerk began to move Varina around the store.

"Sir, this formal suit..."

"Sir, these leather shoes..."

"Sir, this..."

After going around in a circle, the clerk held a pile of clothes in his hand and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, I have already calculated it. It costs a total of 10 pounds and 3 soli."

"I said, my budget is within 10 pounds." Warina showed an unhappy look.

He knew that this would be the result if he asked the store clerk to help him choose.

But he still chose to do this because it was worry-free and fast enough. As for the extra money spent, it can only be said that this is the price that must be paid for peace of mind.

Seeing Varina's look, the clerk made another quotation and calculation, "...Sir, considering your budget, I have put together some discounts for you. The total price now is 9 pounds and 17 sulers. Are you satisfied with it?" ?”

"That's it," Varina knew very well that with his shopping style, he didn't have to think about counter-offering, "Is there a fitting room here?"

The clerk replied hesitantly: "Uh, sir, there is a fitting room...that..."

"Where?" Varina showed a 10-pound note, blocking the clerk's nonsense.

Ten minutes later, Varina, a respectable gentleman, walked out of the Farrow Clothing Shop with a paper bag filled with cheap formal clothes in one hand and a walnut cane inlaid with gold in the other.

Then, Varina bought a leather wallet and a silver pocket watch with a silver chain in a department store, which cost him almost 2 pounds.

Shure Shooting Club, 7 Balft Street.

After registering and paying an initial membership fee of 15 pounds, Varina, who was completely different from before, received the corresponding certificate and became a member of the club for one year, with subsequent membership fees of 3 pounds per year.

Members can use the club's underground shooting range and firearms for free, enjoy free coffee and tea provided by the club, read newspapers and magazines ordered by the club for free, and purchase bullets for training at a discounted price.

It is worth mentioning that purchased bullets can only be used for target practice in the club and cannot be taken away. The club has dedicated personnel to inspect the bullets.

Varina picked a revolver with a similar feel, bought 30 more rounds of ammunition, and started his first shooting practice at the underground shooting range, starting with a 10-meter target.

After reviewing the shooting instructions he pieced together from his memory, Varina fired the first shot.

Then, as expected, it missed the mark.

Varina learned his lesson, thought for a while and then fired the second shot.

Still missed the target.



More than an hour later, Varina walked out of the Shure Shooting Club with a faint smile.

In the last seven shots, he hit the target, which is very good progress.
