In ordinary and normal life, the relationship between Valeera and Liya returned to the previous state, as if the equal and intimate conversation did not exist.
She and Liya both made a tacit agreement not to mention the unanswered question again.
As the acting action stopped, Valeela's digestion progress undoubtedly came to a standstill, stuck at a small level, and she was still far away from being promoted.
However, Valeera is very satisfied with being able to complete the performance like this.
As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to the next wrong. At first, she mistakenly thought that she was half an "assassin" and underestimated the difficulty of getting through the "happy" witch stage, so she embarked on this wrong path...
So now, she can only bear the corresponding price.
Fortunately, this long digestion time does not have a great impact on Valeera. She can take advantage of this time to train her subordinates and prepare in advance for the promotion ceremony of Sequence 4 "Iron-Blooded Knight".
Valeera is making good progress on this front so far.
Not long after Lydia became the "Singer", Admissor finally collected all the potion ingredients and became a real "monster".
Suffering experience is wealth in another sense. Because of Admisor's past experience, the "monster" potion almost melted in his mouth. He is now summarizing the complete playing rules while looking for the Sequence 8 "machine" extraordinary material.
While Harold plays Kiri on a daily basis, he is also trying his best to find a way to play that suits him.
As for Habi, in order to make it better digest the potion, Valeela and Lydia worked together to give it secondary education in turns at night, mainly learning grammar books and some poetry selections, such as "Lun" "Collection of Early Classical Poems" and "Selected Poems of Russell", etc.
Of course, while educating Habib, Lydia herself also has many occult lessons to master.
There are also Burton and Liya. Valeera has not yet had a showdown with them, and is not sure what choice they will make in the end.
Thursday, August 16th.
This morning, Valila went to Backlund North District Court and attended Xio's final trial with Fors.
Of course, she appears in her male form.
Valeera asked Lydia to put on the "Mask of Lost" to pretend she was staying at home; she herself used the "Blood-thirsty Tongue" to adjust her body and appearance; as for Harold, he could only live with Admissor Go out together for a while.
With Audrey's secret support, the barrister defending Hugh produced a new reversal material in court - a certificate of intermittent mental illness diagnosis issued by a professional psychologist.
With this certificate, the victim also issued a letter of understanding, and the fact that the case had barely reached the level of public prosecution, the judge in charge of the trial finally made a verdict of "acquittal."
After coming out of the court, the three of them found a nearby restaurant and ordered a sumptuous lunch.
After being held in prison for a month, although Forsi would bring some delicious food with him when he visited, looking at Xio's obviously haggard face, overall he must have been a little over-consumed.
During the meal, Xio's movements were a bit bold, even rude.
If she hadn't already known the inside story, it would be hard for Valeela to believe that Xio was once a well-educated noble lady.
It wasn't until the second half of the meal that Xio's movements when taking food became gentle, and real conversation began between the three of them.
Xio swallowed the food, took another sip of red wine, and asked:
"Varina, will you go to Mr. A's party tonight?"
Because Forsi often visited at night, Xio knew the situation very well, and she was far more capable than Forsi, so she planned to take the three gentlemen and ladies to the Extraordinary gathering tonight.
Forsi didn't object, because she promised to "do her best" to help them become extraordinary.
"I have other things to do tonight," Valeela shook her head and added, "Because of some troubles, it's not convenient for me to show up often recently."
"If you need anything to contact me, just use the contact information I gave you before."
Valeera only said that she had something to do, which sounded like she had declined the invitation, but she actually didn't say that she wouldn't go. As for the contact information she mentioned, of course she meant "mirror call."
"Can I ask what you are doing recently?" Forsi asked curiously, "Didn't you say that you have completely regained your freedom?"
Xio also echoed, "Yes, do you need help?"
"It's a commission, I'm protecting an important person recently." Valeera smiled and shook her head, "I can't go into details about the specific situation, and I don't need your help."
"After completing this commission, I'm almost ready to be promoted to the next level."
The important target she said needed protection was, of course, herself.
Forsi and Xio had no doubts about Valeela's statement. They both knew that with Rexxa's reputation as a bounty hunter, there were many wealthy people willing to hire him for protection.
After this topic, the three of them chatted for a while.
Valeera used Xio's prison life this month as an introduction and quietly brought the topic to urban rumors and strange stories.
After listening to Forsi's two ghost stories, she pretended to suddenly remember it and said:
"By the way, have you heard of a rumor recently?"
"Many service staff and guests in entertainment venues are spreading rumors about a mysterious existence called the 'Phantom Black Queen'. It is said that anyone who meets her will get an 'extreme pleasure'."
"Huh!"
"You actually went to a place like that and talked about that topic to two of us ladies!"
Forsi said words of resistance, but her curious eyes betrayed her thoughts; Xio on the other side had no obvious expression, neither curious nor resisting, waiting for Valeela to say what was next.
"If I had no choice, I wouldn't go to a place like that."
Valeera explained to herself first, and then continued:
"I suspect that this 'Phantom Black Queen' is an extraordinary person, and she may be performing some kind of evil ritual."
"I inquired about it, and it was rumored that every time she appeared, she would leave a playing card called 'Q of Spades'. If the person she met had brought a 'Q of Spades' playing card, she would take it away. "
"In short, she seems to have the 'Q of Spades' as her characteristic, and her title comes from this."
After hearing Valeera mentioning the Beyonders, Forsi and Xio "understood" Valeera's focus, instead of simply talking dirty words.
"Many urban ghost stories may be related to Extraordinaries," Xio glanced at Forsi who was recording in the booklet, and said somewhat casually, "It would be better if we let the official Extraordinaries investigate this kind of thing. At most, we can Stay away from places like that.”
Forsi "shusshuashuashuashu" down the key points, raised his head with some excitement and said:
"This is a good writing material. You can write about supernatural beings or romance. Maybe I can write a few short stories and submit them to newspapers to see the effect."
Forsi's idea was exactly what Valeera wanted, and it saved her some verbal guidance. Perhaps this was the writer's natural sensitivity to the heat.
Valeela showed a little surprise and praised with a smile:
"As expected of a great writer who is in the limelight, he has an endless supply of inspiration."
"That's right," Xio also joked, "if a great writer hadn't found a way, I might really have been locked up in prison."
She looked at Forsi, imitating the expression in the drama and said:
"Thank you to the great writer for saving me. From now on, the little girl can only serve me personally to repay the kindness of saving my life."
Upon hearing such teasing, Forsi's smile suddenly faded by half, she pursed her lips and her cheeks turned red.
