After having lunch together, Valeela said goodbye to Xio and Forsi, and took the car back to her residence in the West End.
She is very busy today.
In the afternoon, I have to go to an invitation for afternoon tea, and in the evening, it’s Viscount Greent’s ball, and then there’s “Mr. A”’s gathering of extraordinary people…
Finally, late at night, she would go to the "Brave Bar" to meet Maric——
Because today is still a full moon night.
In such an era, the life of an upper-class lady who is not engaged in production is basically so busy and boring, which stands out as a waste of time.
In the evening, there was a dance at Viscount Greent's house.
At the right time, Audrey and Valeela got hints and went up to the second floor and entered a specific guest bedroom with a secret passage.
Audrey quickly changed her outfit. Instead of going directly downstairs through the secret passage, she went to the guest bedroom next door and entered the room through the secret door in the opposite direction, startling Liya who was helping Valila change clothes. .
"Audrey and I will go out and we'll be back soon."
Valeela finally put on the hooded robe prepared by Grelint in advance. She smiled lightly and ordered Liya, "We are going to attend a secret gathering of occult science. You just need to guard the door and pretend that I have stayed in the room to rest." .”
She deliberately took this opportunity to expose a little "secret" in front of Liya.
"let's go."
Valeera put on her hood and left with Audrey.
In the room, Liya slowly sat on the chair and began to think randomly.
She recalled the little traces of her past life, combined with Valeela's explanation tonight, and finally understood that her young lady was probably interested in the rumored magical extraordinary ability.
No wonder she asked questions like that and wanted to move to the sea.
Liya has also heard a lot of rumors about the sea, such as "four kings and seven generals" and "sea treasures". One thing those stories have in common is that they are related to magical extraordinary abilities.
Then she began to think about the answer to that question.
The answer is nothing more than two, go or not go. To find out, she began to imagine what life would be like after making these two choices.
Soon Liya discovered that if she chose to go, her future life would be completely unknown and she could not imagine it; if she did not go, her life would be almost fixed, and there were many people's experiences that she could refer to.
So, which option is better?
After thinking about it for a while, Liya found that her thoughts were back to the original point, completely unable to make a judgment, just like several times before.
But unlike before, this time she had a long enough chunk of time to think completely.
After a while, she transformed the question that she couldn't find an answer into into a question that was approximately equivalent to her——
Is the lady worthy of belief?
worth!
Although she had only been in contact with the lady for a few months, Liya compared her previous employers and what she had heard, and could easily conclude that the lady was probably the best type of employer.
It even... feels like she is more like a friend than an employer!
Every time Liya recalled the conversation in the study a few mornings ago, she could feel the lady's equal and close attitude at that time.
Thinking of this, her eyes became firm and she had a decision in her heart.
…
From departure to return, it took almost an hour.
The entire process of attending "Mr. A"'s gathering of extraordinary people was generally similar to what was described in the original book. Only Audrey completed a transaction and obtained three pages of Russell's diary.
If there is a difference, it is that Valeera also received a small note from "Mr. A" asking if she was interested in other avenues.
After returning from the Extraordinary gathering, Valeera returned to the previous guest bedroom and saw Liya sitting in a chair in a daze.
She greeted easily, "Don't worry, I'm back right now?"
"Ah, miss."
Liya stood up reflexively and folded her hands on her lower abdomen.
After making a subconscious move, she hurriedly stepped forward to help Valeela change her clothes again, "I'll help you."
While helping Valeera put on the complicated and exquisite dress again, she asked softly:
"Miss, what do you think I should choose?"
"Huh?" Valeela didn't understand what Liya was asking for a moment.
"I'm talking about your problem a few days ago," Liya explained while moving her hands, "I believe Miss, Miss definitely knows which choice is more suitable for me."
Valeera looked at the busy maid, frowned and asked:
"You mean, you want me to make a decision for you?"
"Yeah." Liya nodded.
"That's not okay." Valeela reached out to put on her clothes while shaking her head. "I can't decide your own life for you."
"But I can give you some more knowledge and information so that you can make your own choices."
To be honest, Valeela was touched to see Liya trusting her so much, but she still restrained her thoughts and returned the decision-making power to the other party.
After changing her clothes, she came out of the bedroom and saw Audrey next door who had also just gone out.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then went downstairs to join the guests and returned to the dance.
The dance lasted until nearly ten o'clock at night.
During the more than ten minutes of the return journey, Valeela referred to Dunn's introduction to Klein in the original work and revealed some information about the Beyonders to Liya.
She laid out the advantages and disadvantages of becoming an Extraordinary and asked Liya to think about it carefully.
…
Iron Gate Street, "Brave Bar".
As midnight approached, Maric couldn't help but glance at the closed door of the chess and card room again.
Valeela hasn't come yet.
This meant that after tonight, he would have to spend a whole day recovering.
In the past, there was no choice or solution, but now of course he hopes Valeela can come and help.
The time was getting closer to midnight, and Maric almost gave up the idea that Valeera would come.
He had also recently heard rumors about the "Phantom Black Queen" and thought it might be Valeera playing the role... If he guessed correctly, then it would really be inconvenient for Valeera to come here.
"Golden Rose" is located in the Bridge District, not too far from Tiemen Street.
The momentum of that arrest was not small, and the news reached the bar the next day.
Although the rumors only cover the first half, and are mixed with many errors and personal misunderstandings, Maric and Sharon are both experienced Beyonders, so it is still possible to analyze the general situation.
Obviously, the official extraordinary people tried their best but still failed to catch the "Phantom Black Queen".
Therefore, they all agreed that the "Phantom Black Queen" was very powerful.
Winter winter winter.
After 11:50, there was a knock on the door of the chess and card room.
Under Maric's surprised gaze, Valeela pushed open the door and entered, saying with a smile on her face:
"Sorry, I have a lot of things to do today, so I was almost late."
