Wednesday, January 3rd.
In the afternoon, Qili finally got rid of the negative effects of the "Thief Badge" and was willing to walk out of the room.
Varina then told her about the digestion potion.
After considering it comprehensively last night, he decided to go with the easy stuff first and then the tough stuff.
Obviously, stealing the mask is much more difficult than digesting the potion.
At this stage, his abilities are not comprehensive enough. If the target is an ordinary wealthy businessman, he may still try, but if he reaches the level of an earl, he will be seeking death.
Ignoring the target who is also an earl, does Lian Qili, a Sequence 6 witch, have to find helpers to create opportunities when she officially takes action?
He is only Sequence 8, and his methods are far from comprehensive. The plan to steal the mask can only be put on hold for the time being.
Regarding the digestive potion, Qili didn't have any good suggestions.
She actually failed to summarize the specific rules for acting, and she knew that Wariner probably couldn't accept her experience of digesting potions, so she didn't mention it at all.
Varina took the opportunity to propose that he planned to go to the East End to look for acting opportunities as a bounty hunter.
In this way, he reasonably changed his life rhythm and began to go out early and come back late, hanging out in some relatively famous bars in the East District.
Of course, Varina couldn't just go out for a drink. He was more looking for opportunities to contact the bartenders and intelligence dealers - as for the list, of course he got it from Xio.
With money opening the way and starting with simple questions, Varina quickly became familiar with them.
Not to mention how familiar he was, but at least they knew that there was a bounty hunter like Lexa who recently tried to open channels in the East District.
During this period, when he encounters good opportunities, he will also demonstrate his strength as a bounty hunter - not only his outstanding martial arts, but also his sophisticated rhetoric.
His behavior of spending money in bars to find out bad news will naturally attract the attention of some scoundrels and liars who claim to be a little clever at first, and plan to take advantage of him.
What these people don't know is that although Varina doesn't have much experience, he can easily detect the calculations and malice in their hearts just by relying on his ability as an "instigator".
He would not be polite to these people.
Some directly taught them a lesson with force, while others instigated internal strife through words.
While showing his own strength, he also received some small acting feedback, which allowed the potion in his body to be digested a little bit.
This kind of thing happens several times in almost every bar.
Through these things, it took Warina almost a week and more than 20 pounds to spread out, and then he initially established his image as a sophisticated bounty hunter.
Only then did he finally fully hold up the tiger skin he had pulled off in front of Ian, and finally became a bounty hunter.
Of course, he is still far from senior.
…
During this time, Warina felt like a scumbag who had an affair, leaving early and coming back late every day.
This feeling is even more obvious when dealing with Qili's inquiries.
His attitude is basically the same as that of a scumbag - don't ask, just ask because he is busy with work... no, he is busy digesting the potion. He has made good progress recently and needs to keep up his efforts.
Wednesday, January 10th.
Varina came to the Brave Bar again and met with Maric.
It has been a month since he signed the contract with Maric, so this time in addition to official business, he also had to renew a confidentiality contract with Maric.
"Come in."
After knocking on the door with the agreed rhythm, Varina heard Maric's voice as he wished.
Enter the house, close the door, and sit down.
Every time Varina enters the door, the zombie card player opposite Maric will always give up his position immediately.
After the customary "handshake", Maric placed a black steel "knife handle" about 15 centimeters long on the table.
"Your judgment is generally good, but the 'craftsman' still asked for a symbolic fee of 1 pound."
"I tried it. This knife is indeed exquisitely designed, but it's a pity that it didn't turn into an extraordinary weapon."
This was an unexpected surprise.
Varina picked up the "hilt" from the table with almost a grabbing movement.
It was almost exactly like the finished product he imagined.
From the combination of patterns on the handle to the pattern on the blade and the four claw-like spikes, to the overall weight, everything resonates with his memory.
Varina stood up and naturally turned the "hilt" on his right hand, and a blade almost 50 centimeters in length stretched out.
He turned his body, looked at the blade in the direction of the gas lamp, then reached out and touched it, confirming that the blade was also perfectly connected, and he was very happy.
He turned again, and the blade was retracted silently.
Varina felt as if the knife had become an extension of his hand, and he could use it like an arm without any familiarity.
This is the weapon that suits him best!
"I've spent a lot of time exploring it, and I'm only familiar with its transformation methods. I haven't been able to discover how you use it."
Maric looked at Varina's smooth movements of retracting and retracting the blade, and sighed: "I didn't expect this knife to be so flexible in your hand."
"As expected of your own custom-made weapon."
After a while, Varina got used to the strange feeling of being both new and familiar, and put away the folding knife.
After he sat down again, Ma Qi laid out another piece of contract paper and said:
"This is a deed of termination that resolves the confidentiality covenant you signed last month."
"Sign it, and we'll be companions from now on."
This is another unexpected surprise.
Varina thought he would have to undergo another one or two months of testing, but unexpectedly he passed.
He was not worried that Maric would deceive him, and after a little confirmation, he happily signed his name.
As the contract paper glowed with a warm, bright light, symbolism and magical signs rose within it, the invisible restraints on Varina's body dissolved.
After that, he studied the teachings with Maric for a period of time before returning to his residence to rest.
The day after tomorrow is the night of the full moon. After that, Varina plans to officially start his plan to digest the potion.
Although the information he inquired about during this period was general, it was not without any gain.
The Dead Eel Gang and the Gray Rat Gang in the dock area lost their bosses almost at the same time. After a period of chaos, a new boss finally came to power.
Under their auspices, the two gangs are currently restraining their members and reducing friction. There is a strong trend of peace talks between the two gangs.
Varina is happy to see this happen.
It can be said that the series of chaos between these two gangs are inseparable from him. Now they are finally calming down, which is a good thing no matter how you look at it.
I just don’t know how much time it will take from trend to implementation.
