"What?" Fors touched her earlobe, wondering if she had heard it wrongly.

Beautiful, innocent, curious and ignorant Miss Audrey would actually give an assassination mission!

And the target is the ambassador of Intis, a powerful country in the northern continent!

Hugh was rather slow to respond and answered hesitantly:

"Our strength, no, is not enough to complete this mission."

The first thing she measures is the difficulty of the task!

Audrey ignored Fors's question and let them imagine the reasons themselves. She said with dimples:

"I'm not asking you to accept the commission yourself. Instead, I hope you can find a Beyonder who is capable of completing the task, such as Mr. A. I will pay you 4,000 gold pounds for this. Of course, this is just my initial offer, and the details can still be discussed."

"If this thing works out in the end, I will give you 500 pounds. Even if it fails, I will give you 200 pounds because you took the risk."

The annuity balance she had accumulated but had not yet invested plus the remaining bounty was about 13,000 pounds, but if she spent too much at once, it would definitely attract the attention of Earl Hall, and even the Bavart Bank would do some investigation. After calculations, she believed that 5,000 pounds was the critical point and it was best not to exceed it.

4000 gold pounds Xio heard her own heavy breathing, but she soon became frustrated, she knew that she could not take on this task.

Just using our name to invite other extraordinary people will earn you 500 pounds. Miss Audrey is the most generous, kind and beautiful girl I have ever seen! Xio quickly realized the reality.

While Fors was excited, her mind was full of doubts:

Why would Miss Audrey commission such a task?

Infighting among aristocratic circles?

A prelude to a planned war?

Some bigwigs represented by Earl Hall want the situation to become chaotic?

The two quickly contacted Mr. A through the agreed channel. At three o'clock in the afternoon, when the rare sunlight penetrated the fog and illuminated the entire Backlund, they came to the house where they had attended the party before and saw Mr. A, who was wearing a hood and sitting with his legs crossed, but gave people a sense of superiority.

"You said you have something important to talk to me about?" Mr. A's eyes moved between the two ladies.

I heard that some female Beyonders used their bodies to exchange for potion materials from Mr. A. He is such a disgusting pervert. Fors smiled slightly and said:

"I have a big deal, are you interested?"

Mr. A glanced at Xio's face and chuckled.

"Tell me what the big deal is."

Resisting the urge to pull out the triangular thorn, Xio spoke in the tone of an arbitrator:

"Assassinate the Intis ambassador to the Kingdom, Bakerran Jean-Martin."

Mr. A fell silent immediately, but because his expression was obscured by the shadow of the hood, Xio and Fors could not guess what he was thinking.

After a while, he slowly leaned back and said in a deep voice:

"So, what's the reward?"

"4,000 gold pounds. In addition, we will provide relevant intelligence. For example, Ambassador Baker is a Sequence 6 'conspirator' of the 'Hunter' pathway, and there is an assistant who may be a Sequence 5. For example, his weakness is beauty." Xio tried his best to make Mr. A feel that this mission could be accomplished.

Mr. A laughed softly:

"I can take this task, but the compensation must be increased."

"The first option is the potion formula of 'The Darkless One', 'Disaster Priest', 'Prophet' or 'Manipulator'. Of course, their value is higher than this task. They don't need to be complete, just a partial one will do."

"The second option is 10,000 gold pounds. Ha, this is the bounty on 'Vice Admiral Hurricane' Qi Lingos. Baker's strength is definitely not as good as his, but he has a powerful assistant. And, believe me, he definitely has magical items on him."

A reasonable price, but also an exaggerated price. Xio and Fors looked at each other and said:

"Let's discuss it and give you an answer here this time tomorrow."

"Okay." Mr. A gestured to see the guest off.

After being led out of the house by the waiter, Fors whispered doubtfully:

"Are those all high-sequence formulas?"

"To be honest, I'm very surprised. I thought Mr. A would only ask for formulas or potion materials. Money shouldn't be a necessity for him."

Xio turned his head and glanced at his friend:

"Fors, you are really just a simple clinic doctor and writer. You should know that Mr. A must have a lot of subordinates. They need houses to sleep in, they need to fill their stomachs, buy clothes, and vent their desires. All of these must be exchanged for money. Moreover, for some impoverished nobles, as long as they have gold pounds, there is nothing they can't sell."

"Mr. A would be just as terrifying without his men, but he would be very isolated from the news."

"This is something that all the small gangs in the East Side know."

Fors frowned and said, "Xiu, you are not that stupid."

In the evening, the two met the familiar golden retriever at the appointed place and handed over Mr. A's reply to Audrey.

After reading the note, Audrey was not embarrassed but breathed a sigh of relief.

For her, it was simply wonderful to be able to solve the ambassador's problem with just 10,000 gold pounds!

I can only use 5,000 pounds for now, and I have to pay Hugh and Fors 500 pounds. Well, I will borrow 6,000 pounds from Grallant first, no, 8,000 pounds. My daily expenses cannot be exposed. Then I will repay him in four to five months, with an interest of 1,000 pounds. By the New Year, I will be very tight on money and can only use 1,000 pounds a month. Audrey made a quick decision, burned the original note, and wrote on a new piece of paper:

"The second option is to pay 2,000 pounds in advance, and then give the remaining 8,000 pounds after the task is completed."

At 15 Minsk Street, Klein met Mary Gale again during tea time.

He took the initiative to make an appointment with the other party through Mrs. Starling Summer.

"Ms. Mary, after tracking, I found that your husband went to the Cragg Club. Since I am not a member, I cannot enter. But according to my observation, half an hour after your husband left, only a young lady came out. Her name is Erica Taylor. She lives at 126 New Year Road, Hillston District. She used to work for Coim Company for a period of time. She is still unemployed. I took a photo of her leaving the Cragg Club."

"Even though he's unemployed, he can still live in Hillston District," Starlin sneered.

Mary was silent for a few seconds with a gloomy expression and said:

"You need to get substantial evidence of their intimacy. Um, it's the Krag Club, right? I'll find two members to recommend you to join, but you must fill in your information as 'famous detective'. If you don't let someone take you in, you may not have enough time."

"Okay." Klein hesitated, but still asked, "Who will pay the membership fee?"

"I will pay for the initial membership fee as a reward for your efficiency. If you wish to stay in the club, you will have to pay the annual fee yourself, which is approximately 15 pounds." There seemed to be flames burning in Mary's eyes.

The annual fee is 15 pounds, so the initial membership fee is at least 50 pounds. It's a high-end club. Ms. Mary, you are so generous! Klein nodded immediately and said:

"I'll give you the evidence as soon as possible."

After dinner, Klein went out again and continued to the "Brave Bar" in the Backlund Bridge area.

The first was to show his panic and helplessness in front of the special military department and the secret police, as if he wanted to try every possible way to save himself. The second was to deceive the middle-sequence person of the "fortune teller" path under the ambassador.

Klein believed that the gentleman or lady would not be able to predict anything related to the gray fog, including his own resurrection and past events, including the "Filthy Words" spell that was successfully made with the help of the "True Creator".

This is a powerful item that can definitely affect the opponent. Klein must keep himself insecure and grasp at various straws in order to mislead the opponent and increase his chances of winning.

In the dark sky, Klein entered the bar.

Before he could even ask for a beer, he saw Kaspers, a red-nosed old man, standing in front of the "dog catching mouse" arena with his arms folded.

“It just so happens that Maric is looking for you.” Caspers glanced at Klein and immediately limped over.

"Maric is looking for me?" Klein asked in surprise.

He subconsciously touched the Azik copper whistle in his pocket, considering what excuse he could use to decline.

In other words, if he wrapped the copper whistle with his own spirituality, it would not cause the zombies to mutate? Mr. Azik had been to the cemetery before, and he had never seen a corpse attack him. Klein's spirit suddenly tensed up.

Before he could think of an excuse, he saw Maric, with a pale face and malicious eyes, coming from the other side, without any zombies around him.

Where is his zombie? Klein thought, half confused and half relieved.

Maric pointed at the card room and walked over first. Klein looked from afar and saw that there were no zombies inside, so he followed him in.

"What's the matter?" Klein asked first.

Maric, wearing a white shirt and a black vest, sat down on the card table and stared into Klein’s eyes.

"Is your commission still valid?"

"Huh?" Klein was unable to react immediately.

"I have a friend who is short of money recently and is willing to accept this commission. She is stronger than me and should be able to protect you. However, she will only protect you for three days, and the price is 1,000 pounds." Maric said in a low and vague voice.

Why did a Beyonder willing to accept the commission only appear after I had the "Filthy Words"? However, this is also good. It will confuse the Beyonder on the ambassador's side even more. When he goes to great lengths to defeat Maric's friend, my chances of success will become extremely high. The only question is, how can I be sure that Maric's friend is reliable? Well, let's go to the gray fog to divine. Klein pondered for a while and said:

“Give me time to think about it and raise the funds, it’s not a small amount.”

"Also, it's best to keep my protection secret and not let anyone know. As for which three days of protection it is also up to me to decide. It must be within these two weeks."

Of course, the "Fortune Teller" could definitely detect what Klein added silently.

As for the issue of money, he had already considered it from the beginning. If selling Meursault's extraordinary characteristics was not enough, he would ask Miss Justice for it. Anyway, he had already laid the groundwork, and there was still a lot of knowledge in Roselle's diary that could be sold. Of course, if the price was really unaffordable, then he would have to give up.

Now, although Meursault's extraordinary characteristic has become the "Filthy Words" spell, Miss "Justice" is still there, and she still owes money for the formula of "Prayer of Light" with a value of Sequence 8, and she still owes the information of the Secret Order. Combining the two, 1,000 pounds is enough!

ps: Update in advance to ask for recommendation votes and monthly votes. It's Monday and the end of the month.
