July 7, Saturday.
Miss Sharon arrived much earlier than Valeera expected.
At around seven o'clock in the evening, Valeela was enjoying dinner in the lounge on the second floor of the house.
The real restaurant was too big, and she was dining alone. She didn't like the empty space there, so she chose this small lounge instead.
During the meal, Valeera suddenly had an inspiration and looked to the side at the dark window reflecting the gas light.
Miss Sharon, wearing a complicated and exquisite black Gothic palace dress, a small black soft hat, long hair in a golden bun, and blue eyes, appeared there, lifted the hem of her skirt, bowed slightly, and said She saluted.
Valeela speeded up her meal a little, and took a symbolic walk around the garden. After a while, she returned to the master bedroom on the third floor of the house.
After the personal maid Liya left, Sharon appeared on the sofa opposite Valeera.
"Don't indulge in a life of pleasure, that is often the beginning of indulgence."
He is worthy of being the pillar of the temperance faction. As soon as he showed up, he gave Valeela a piece of advice.
Valila shook her head calmly and explained:
"I don't feel that this kind of life is a kind of enjoyment. On the contrary, I feel constrained."
"There are other reasons why I accept my current identity, and it is not for a life of pleasure."
"The concept of moderation, I think the more important thing is to criticize oneself deep in the heart, to understand right and wrong, to know what should be done, what can be done, and what cannot be done."
"This is a different way to achieve the same goal than following the dogma 'The body is a prisoner of the mind', which is internalized from the outer behavior of restraint into the depths of the soul."
After hearing these words, Sharon fell into quiet thinking.
After a while, she came back to her senses, her tone had a rare ups and downs, and she said:
"You have a point."
"However, this is not suitable for most people."
Valeela nodded, accepting Sharon's statement.
As long as Sharon agreed with her current moderation philosophy, she didn't want to spend more time discussing doctrine with Sharon.
"It's a pity that you are not the 'alien' path."
Sharon looked at Valeera quietly, and suddenly let out a sigh similar to what Maric had once said.
Valeela did not answer the question.
She waited for a moment, and after Sharon calmed down her exposed emotions, she said:
"'Mr. A's' party is on West Vilas Street, very close to here. It starts around eight o'clock and ends before ten o'clock."
"I'm going to go there at nine o'clock and wait until the party is over before I propose a deal with him."
"I will disguise my appearance, so you only need to stay in a secret place near the gathering place and guard the escape route I have reserved."
This arrangement is quite reasonable. Sharon nodded, "Okay."
"'Mr. A' is very powerful, and may even have demigod-level methods," Valeela solemnly added, "Therefore, if the deal fails, we will run away directly."
"Of course, I am relatively confident in my trading chips, and the possibility of transaction failure is not high."
At this point, Valeera smiled, and after causing Sharon to be cautious enough, she tried to relieve some of the pressure she might have had.
Sharon nodded again, which wasn't even a "good" anymore.
…
It's approaching nine o'clock.
Valeela used the mechanical rope in the bedroom and rang the bell outside the door to summon Liya, the personal maid who was standing outside.
After more than ten minutes, after serving Valeera and resting, Liya exited the room and informed the other servants to go back and rest.
After locking the entrance and exit of the servant's passage, she returned to her small bedroom on the third floor of the house and went to bed.
This time, under the influence of Miss Sharon's spell, she quickly fell asleep.
Of course, since it is a death-oriented spell, this should not be a good dream.
A few minutes later, Valeera and Sharon arrived at the end of West Vilas Street and parked in a hidden place diagonally opposite the gathering place of "Mr. A".
Valeera opens the "grey vision" and leaves a "partial shadow" here.
"Just stay here, I have already prepared an escape route." Valeela said to Sharon, "To be on the safe side, we maintain spiritual communication."
With Sharon's consent, Valeera established a "connection" between the two.
This invisible "spiritual connection" is what Valeela imagined, and it might be able to barely resist "Mr. A"'s method of forcibly dragging her into a dream.
Intuitively, Valeela felt that it must be useful and could wake her up from her dream.
She was just not sure how long it would take to wake up. If it took too long, her situation would be more dangerous.
Fortunately, the divination results showed that the degree of danger was still within an acceptable range.
Moreover, the current situation is the best result that Valeera can achieve, and she can only choose to take the risk once.
After the arrangements were made, Valeera, who put on the "Lost Mask" and adjusted her appearance, walked out of the hiding place and knocked on the door of the gathering place.
Sharon also disappeared after Valeera left.
The "resentful soul"'s concealment ability is quite powerful. Below high levels, even those who are good at spiritual vision cannot detect the "resentful soul" in this state.
Of course, except for special detection abilities.
For example, the "Master of Secret Puppetry" can detect the hidden "resentful soul" through the "spiritual thread".
…
Valeela waited for several minutes before a waiter opened the door for her.
Moreover, the waiter reminded her rudely that the party was almost over and she should come earlier next time.
When Valeela came in, the party happened to be in the "rest time", and the Beyonders attending the party were talking to each other in twos and threes.
She waited for a few minutes until the atmosphere of the party "accepted" her as a late comer, then she took out pen and paper and wrote down the key tips for the transaction.
Then, she folded the note, called the waiter, and asked him to hand the note directly to "Mr. A".
Similar to when Valeela first attended the party, "Mr. A" was still wearing a black robe and a hood, sitting on the single sofa in the same place.
He took the note casually, unfolded it and took a look... Then, he suddenly stood up!
Soon, he locked eyes with Valeera.
Valeera looked at him calmly and even smiled.
The time when they looked at each other was quite short.
After receiving the confirmation, "Mr. A" continued to scan the remaining crowd with his eyes.
Because of "Mr. A"'s actions, the Extraordinaries in the hall quickly stopped talking and looked at the convener of the party, waiting for him to speak.
"The party ends early!"
They didn't expect that "Mr. A" did not announce that the party would move to the next step, but ended the party directly? !
why is that? !
But it was obvious that "Mr. A" had no intention of explaining to them.
His waiters have also opened the door and begun to arrange for the people to disperse and leave.
The arms couldn't twist the thighs, so these extraordinary people had no choice but to accept the arrangement and left with a lot of doubts and uneasiness.
After everyone else, including the waiter, left, "Mr. A" took off his hood, revealing his beautiful and enchanting face that looked like a woman's.
He took a few steps closer and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have the formula for the 'Darkless One' potion?"
"Broken."
Valeela answered with a smile, but she was extremely vigilant in her heart.
