Thursday, February 15th.
In the morning, outside the steam train station in the Bridge District.
Varina, dressed as a gentleman, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a sparse beard on his lips, was saying goodbye to Qili while carrying a suitcase.
After saying a few words, Qili, who was wearing a light green dress and a white gauze hat, suddenly threw herself into his arms, ignoring the people around her.
In order not to attract attention, Varina had no choice but to drop his suitcase, hug her, pat her back, and pretend to be a loving couple.
After a moment, Varina gently pushed her out of his arms and said:
"It's almost time, I should go."
"Um."
Qili nodded slightly.
Varina picked up the suitcase, took a few steps back, waved to Qili, then turned and walked into the crowd.
With the ticket bought under his real name, Varina followed the crowd and entered the station.
He did not go to the queue at the waiting platform immediately, but walked a few more steps to the item storage area and handed the storage voucher to the waiter in a red vest at the counter.
Soon, the waiter came over holding a paper bag sealed with lacquer.
"Sir, your stuff."
The waiter placed the bulging paper bag on the counter and expertly helped Varina check the storage number and seal.
Everything is correct.
"Thanks."
Varina nodded with a smile, opened the suitcase a little on the counter, and put the paper bag inside.
Then he walked to the platform carrying his suitcase.
…
After the full moon night, Varina actually planned to leave as soon as possible.
But Qili showed a rare tough stance and let him stay for two more days.
Until this morning, he didn't know why——
Qili gave him two more boxes of communication ointment.
To be honest, he was really not sure what this witch was thinking right now, and he didn't know how much of her actions were true and how fake.
But that's not important.
What matters is his plan.
No matter what, he must first get back the handle to restrain himself. After leaving the Witch Sect, he can truly get along with Qili on an equal footing.
Whether her feelings are true or false will only make sense then.
…
The seats in the first-class carriage are quite spacious, and in addition to the newspapers of the past few days, Xibo black tea is provided.
Varina flipped through the pages and quickly picked out a few copies of the "Daily Observer" from the last three days.
He wanted to know about the attack and disappearance of the bounty hunter Lexa, as well as news about the "Workers Alliance Party".
After spending some time, Warina read the key parts and had a general understanding.
First, there are reports related to the "Workers' Alliance Party";
In the column, Makarov, Mark, and Burton are called ministers, leading three parts of the party respectively, and each has a photo and brief description.
Makarov also serves as the commander-in-chief.
On the basis of Varina's forcible kneading and patchwork, they worked hard to coordinate resources and ease conflicts, and really stabilized the structure without splitting.
They cooperate with each other to ensure that the external operations of the dock area remain basically unchanged while strengthening the cohesion within the "Workers' Alliance Party".
Of course, the bounty hunter Lexa, as the founder with a high reputation, was attacked and disappeared at this time. This was a big blow to the "Workers Alliance Party".
Many workers feel that this is revenge by a certain force.
But when it comes to which force is specific, there are various theories. Some say it belongs to the government, some say it belongs to a gang, some say it belongs to factory owners and wealthy businessmen...
Of course, there were also a very small number of people who accidentally guessed the target who was closest to the truth - Campbell, who was briefly promoted to the president of the dock union.
However, with so many different opinions, even if there is a 100% correct answer, it will only be drowned in a lot of speculation.
The second is about Lexa’s disappearance;
Because there were many eyewitnesses, although the statement was outrageous, at least the newspaper accepted part of it——
That part is certain to be true.
On the first night after the demonstration, Lexa was attacked on the street in front of everyone. He fled the scene and then disappeared. His life and death are unknown.
As for the "elongated ghost" and "sneaking underground" and other bizarre ideas, they were mentioned in an urban supernatural column, and only a few sentences were mentioned.
But these few sentences are enough for people who understand to judge that the attacker is an extraordinary person.
Fortunately, Varina did not show anything extraordinary except that he jumped a little high, so he was not specially mentioned.
In addition to the two things he wanted to know, Varina had an unexpected gain.
The Kingdom's upper and lower parliaments issued news that the proposal to repeal the Corn Laws has been restarted and is under discussion.
It was faster than he expected.
Varina's original expectation was that the negotiations would not resume until at least March, and it would be quick if the results could be discussed in mid-March.
During this period of time, he planned to live in seclusion on Iron Cross Street in Tingen and find opportunities, large and small, to act as an "instigator" to a small extent, so as to cooperate with the feedback when the law was abolished and thoroughly digest the potion.
In his plan, he would stay at Sequence 8 until late March; and by late May, he would have to become Sequence 6 and leave Tingen.
This is because Tingen will then become the stage for Sealed Artifact 0-08 and Ince Zangwill to stage the lame stories he wrote.
"Mr. Fool" Zhou Mingrui arrived on the night of June 28th.
But even before that, the story of Ince Zangwill unfolds...
Varina is not sure when exactly "Tingen's Story" will be staged, but leaving a month early should be enough insurance.
The content of the original work he dug out from his memory is as follows——
"Due to the dual effects of exhaustion and hallucination, Riggins, a member of the Secret Order, mistakenly sold the Antigonus family notes as ordinary ancient books. This is a logical coincidence."
"Called by the bloodline of the Antigonus family, the note quietly affected its owners one after another. It came to Tingen and fell into the hands of Aurora Society members Sirius Arepis and Heinus Vansant. In hand."
"After reading the temporary contents of the notes and transcribing the corresponding potion formulas, Sirius and Hainas were worried that the secret cultivator who was good at divination would track them down. After discussion, they decided not to take this risk and resold the notes. To others.”
…
A reasonable guess is——
The first passage was written much earlier, in Trier, the capital of Intis, where the Esoteric Order had its headquarters;
The second paragraph after that is when the story unfolds in Tingen.
From the content analysis, this time will not be longer than a month.
Varina's original plan for him was tight, and he might have less than two months to actually digest the "Witch" potion.
This is quite a test of his and her acting strength.
But now the plan is to restart early, which is equivalent to adding half a month of acting time to him, and the error tolerance rate is greatly improved.
This is obviously excellent unexpected news.
