Varina tried rapid fire for the second time. Although he missed, the scene was far less tense than the first time.
Since he always maintained stable control of the gun, the tense atmosphere that could lead to an accident at any time disappeared.
When the waiter in a red vest saw such changes in the distance, he became less interested in going to the supervisor.
Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing. This gentleman doesn't look like a novice who can't hold a gun steady.
Just like this, look at it from a distance a few more times. If there is no problem, then it is better to just let it go.
Next, under the increasingly shocked gaze of the waiter, every time Varina fired, the progress was huge.
He hit the target for the first time with the 13th shot, and the second shot with the 17th shot.
After the 23rd shot, almost every shot he fired hit the target 10 meters away, except for the 27th shot.
The waiter was in complete disbelief that this was Varina's first attempt at rapid fire.
He thought the thing should be like this - this gentleman used to be a good shooter, but he didn't touch a gun for a long time, so he went through a rehabilitation process.
Well, that makes more sense.
After firing 30 rounds of bullets, Varina sat back on the sofa not far away to rest, and casually placed the revolver provided by the club on the small table next to him.
More than ten minutes later, Varina had enough rest, picked up the bowler hat on the table, and left the club.
While walking on the road, Varina couldn't help but compare in his mind the speed of his progress in shooting practice before and after drinking the potion.
He found that the two simply could not be compared together.
Not even close!
Previously, he felt that his progress was pretty good because he was comparing himself to ordinary people.
After becoming an "Assassin", his training speed was comparable to that of a veteran rehabilitating, and his progress was simply astonishing.
Therefore, becoming extraordinary is, to some extent, a shortcut to climbing the social ladder.
The role-playing method is a shortcut to climbing up the sequence.
Oh, the shortcut among shortcuts?
A cold smile appeared on Varina's lips unconsciously.
…
Unlike the rapid progress in shooting practice, Varina's progress in language learning has not accelerated much.
Obviously, whether it is the "Assassin" potion or the extraordinary abilities that spontaneously emerge from the body, they have little improvement in intelligence.
Variner has recently devoted his main energy in language learning to Hermes. As for the ancient Fusac language, he keeps reviewing it every day to keep his memory fresh.
Language must be used to learn it. If you don’t use it, many contents will be forgotten soon.
Varina has no need to use these languages for the time being, but after some consideration, he decided to create such a need himself——
He was going to make up a casual notebook involving a lot of extraordinary knowledge.
The benefits of doing this are many.
First, he could complete the lie he had told earlier, making others think that his parents had left behind occult books.
Secondly, if anyone is interested in the occult books he had previously made up, such as Hugh and Forsi, then he had better actually have such a book.
Also, he could reasonably explain the source of his extraordinary knowledge through such a made-up book.
In the end, he could also make up some transcripts of Russell's diary in such a complicated notebook, and use it to pry Klein's wool in the future.
Just finding a way to practice and use the language and words he has learned, without spending any extra energy, to gain so many benefits, Varina is certainly very motivated.
"'Magicians' don't do unprepared performances, and neither does 'Assassin'."
The "assassin" only kills people in a split second, and passers-by can only see the achievement of that moment. But before that moment arrives, no one knows how much effort the "assassin" has put in and how much preparation he has made.
Varina felt that this was the first rule of acting he had summarized.
In fact, he felt that compared to the "magician", the "assassin" needed to prepare in advance. After all, if the "magician" failed, he would get a roar of laughter, but if the "assassin" failed, he would lose everything.
So, start by preparing an occult book.
first step:
Varina reviewed some of the more profound knowledge related to the extraordinary world in his memory. As long as it was not too secretive, he casually jotted it down in his notebook using the ancient Fusac language he had learned.
This step alone should take a lot of time to gather enough content and knowledge to support a book with such a quantitative concept.
By that time, Variner might be familiar with Hermes and even the Giant language.
Of course, this is not important, what is important is the follow-up actions.
Step two:
Roughly divide the contents into categories, put the easier ones at the front, and put the more difficult ones at the back. Transcribe them again, using Rune in the front, then in Ancient Fusac, then in Hermes, and even in Giant language, etc. wait.
In this way, the content of the entire occult book is completed, and the only remaining flaws are spells such as divination.
The last critical step:
Take this well-formed occult book and make it old and tattered, and then copy it all over again.
In this way, even if someone gets it for divination, they will only get the picture of Varina copying the book, and will not be able to discover the fact that he actually compiled the book.
…
Another day, at eight o'clock in the evening, at the end of West Vilas Street.
Varina was dressed as a worker, wearing a beige coat, a peaked cap, and a dark coarse cloth scarf. He came to the door of the house where the party was located and knocked on the door with the rhythm suggested in the newspaper.
Soon, the door opened, and the waiter looked at him and then made way.
Everything was almost the same as the party a month ago, except that there were no two ladies around, except...
He is already a Sequence 9 "Assassin".
Because of his experience at the last party, Varina approached the two large blackboards in the hall with ease this time and browsed the transaction requirements on them.
He was mainly looking for Xio and Forsi's secret codes.
After all, all his funds now add up to only more than two hundred pounds. It can be said that he cannot afford anything of even slight value, let alone that he still needs to save money to live.
He has no income for the time being, but his daily expenses are as high as 9 sulers, which is nearly 14 pounds a month.
Among them, the main daily expenses are nothing more than 2 soli for food, 1 soli for accommodation, and 6 soli for bullets for shooting practice, which is far from being called a luxury.
Varina read the content on the blackboard and found no agreed-upon code.
So, when the waiter came over and asked Varina to write down the requirements on the note and hand it in, he decisively wrote down the agreed secret code on his side——
"One page of Russell's Notes for sale, £10."
This transaction demand is not very conspicuous, and basically no one will pay attention to it. After all, no one will buy a piece of waste paper for 10 pounds, except for Russell's die-hard fans.
Of course, there are exceptions for those who have agreed on a secret code.
