chapter.73 Acts of Justice(1/2)
After nightfall, Backlund West District.
Audrey, who was covered in a black robe, stepped out of the carriage with the help of Viscount Gray Lint, and the occult enthusiasts from the aristocracy walked together to the main entrance of the house in front of them.
There, they met two ladies with very different styles - they were also the extraordinary people that two young nobles yearned for, the "apprentice" Forsi Wall, and her friend, the "arbiter" Hugh Dee.
Ercha.
After a few people introduced each other and exchanged a few simple greetings, they stopped chatting and went up to follow the code and knocked on the door of the house.
The gatekeeper opened the entrance door, let several new and old members attending the secret party enter the house, and then quickly closed the door.
Forsi noticed that Miss Audrey, who was covered in black robe and veil, was observing a man in black robe sitting on a single sofa, so he took the initiative to introduce the other person's identity.
The convener of this secret gathering is also a powerful and mysterious extraordinary person, Mr. A.
Audrey nodded slightly, pretending to be fine and enduring the slightly aggressive and disgusting gaze of the man in black robe, letting the other man cast his gaze on her group - especially the three ladies including her.
Fortunately, Mr. A soon stopped paying attention to them and turned to see other people.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Audrey gradually entered the state, and looked at the furnishings in the room from the perspective of an "audience", looking at the various party members dressed in various costumes, and the few pieces that were placed in conspicuous places.
Location blackboard…
Forsi, who was on the side, was very conscious of being a guide and began to introduce the trading rules at the party to this noble lady.
Audrey made a listening gesture and followed the footsteps of the "apprentice" and "arbiter" to a few empty seats and sat down. However, her heart was filled with shock by the words on the blackboard.
"Baby's Cry, flowers, 250 pounds."
"Mummy powder, 10 grams, 8 pounds."
"Juvenile black-spotted frog... tadpoles, 20 pieces, 10 pounds each, sold individually."
"Emperor Russell's notes, three pages, 20 pounds."
"Sequence 8 'Sheriff' potion recipe, 450 pounds."
…
These, these prices, are so, so cheap! What a bargain!
Audrey could no longer maintain the calmness of the "audience", and excitedly squeezed the corner of the black robe in her hand, wishing to use these magical materials, magical formulas... Oh, and the Emperor Russell that Mr. Fool needs.
Buy all the diaries!
In her excitement, she heard the "Arbiter" beside her, Hugh Dilcza, let out a slightly confused sound.
"Forsi, why do I feel that the price of these materials... seems to have increased a bit compared to before?"
Forsi, who had slightly curly brown hair and lazy blue eyes, held a cigarette between his fingers, pointed it in a certain direction without lighting it, and laughed softly.
"You haven't come to the party for a while. Don't doubt it. This is not an illusion. The prices of many materials have increased. As for the reason... look there."
Hearing this, Audrey and Xio followed the sound together and saw clearly listed transaction items on a blackboard pointed by Forsi with a cigarette:
"Acquire the magic potion formula of Sequence 8 'Scammer', for 1,000 pounds (paid in gold bars)."
Audrey blinked twice, suspecting that she had misread the number, and subconsciously looked back at the blackboard where the Sequence 8 potion sales entry had been written:
Sequence 8 "Sheriff" recipe, sold for 450 pounds.
Turn around again and look at the blackboard just now:
Sequence 8 "Scammer" recipe, purchased for 1,000 pounds.
...Well, why is there a subtle sense of obvious gap between the rich and the poor?
Quietly moving the chair and sitting close to Forsi, Audrey asked in a low voice:
"According to the normal market price, how much does the Sequence 8 potion formula cost approximately?"
She has to consider the cost of purchasing the potion formula from here. If someone is willing to sell the "Mind Reader" formula but asks for more than a thousand, then...
Then she has to save a little bit of her pocket money.
"It usually fluctuates around 500 pounds. Those who are willing to double the price to 1,000 pounds are either people who need it urgently, or they are rich people...or else, they are both." Forsi stuffed himself into the spacious room.
In the sofa chair, he replied lazily.
After a slight pause, she seemed to be speaking to Hugh Dilcha who was standing aside, or to Audrey and Viscount Graylingt.
"I don't remember when this buyer who disrupted the market price came to the party. Maybe it was last week, maybe last week...
In short, I think you should be able to understand that the other party has offered double the price. There are always people who do not believe in evil and want to try to challenge Mr. A’s authority, and apply for a transaction with a fake formula with a sense of luck... The results are very bad.
Obviously, after Mr. A taught several liars a lesson, the party members became more at ease.
As for the price increase of materials... this may be unavoidable. Because no one knows what materials are needed for the scammer's potion formula. What if the buyer successfully buys the formula and is also willing to buy the materials at a premium? This
But it’s a free bargain!”
It makes sense... Audrey nodded gently to show understanding.
She saw Viscount Graylingt, who was traveling with her, also nodding in approval, and saw Hugh Dilcha showing a depressed but happy expression, looking at the blackboard from time to time and sighing softly.
Audrey remembered that the Sequence 8 formula corresponding to Xio was the "Sheriff" with a price tag of 450 pounds.
Hmm... Her expression was very contradictory. She was glad that the price of "Sheriff" had not increased, but she was also frustrated that she had not saved enough money to buy it... And even if she bought the "Sheriff" formula, as long as the "scam"
If the purchase information for the "Master's" recipe is not removed for a day, it will be difficult for the prices of the materials at the party to return to their original normal range...
Audrey observed her and quietly made inferences. Then she saw that the petite "arbiter" quickly cheered up, stood up and came between her and Viscount Gray Lint, and asked in a low voice what items they needed.
.
After thinking for a while, Audrey allowed herself to narrate as reservedly as possible:
"Currently, I'm only interested in those three pages of Emperor Russell's notes. I think those words have mysterious power and are worth collecting and studying... Well, as for the others, I'm still considering them."
As soon as they finished speaking, a young man sitting near their seats suddenly turned around excitedly, winking and gesturing towards the ladies.
"Hey, I heard you talking about Emperor Russell...and of course, his secret notes! I am the holder of those three pages of notes, and I can sell them to you now!"
Audrey was at first confused by the other party's excessive enthusiasm, but then regained her calm smile and happily reached a deal with this admirer of the emperor.
Forsi and Xio on the side just looked at the scene in front of them speechlessly, feeling... a little bit distressed that Earl Hall spent a "huge sum" of 20 pounds to buy three pages of paper that can be copied and copied at will.
.
That’s 20 pounds! A full 20 pounds!
I don’t know how much money this seemingly enthusiastic and simple guy has made by selling notes!
The young man in a white shirt and black vest seemed to be unable to see the two ladies looking at each other. He happily accepted the banknotes, cleared his throat and took another step closer mysteriously.
"I just heard you guys discussing the person who purchased the 'Scammer' formula... Actually, I know who that person is."
"The buying and selling needs of the party members are kept confidential. How do you know the identity of the buyer?" Xio quietly put down the right hand that was about to hold the triangular thorn and asked with a frown.
Watching the conversation between the two, Fors originally felt that it was inappropriate to talk about such a topic, but after silently scanning the surroundings, she found that the discussion on her side did not seem to attract much attention, and many people were talking down to each other.
They were talking about something, some were bargaining, and some were discussing where to get the "Scammer" formula...
She let out a breath, regained her composure, sniffed the cigarette lazily, and leaned back into the sofa chair.
"Of course the identity of the buyer is kept confidential, but this one is different...well, it should be said that I have met her before...well, I have probably seen her before!" The young man raised a friendly smile and secretly motioned to the lady.
They looked towards a certain corner and said, "That seat over there, behind Mr. A's sofa...see that woman in black robe? She is the one who bought the 'Scammer' formula at a high price."
Audrey followed Xio and Forsi's gaze and looked over there. Soon, she saw the figure leaning on the couch, and heard the soft scream from Viscount Gray Lint next to her.
"Oh..." The young Viscount couldn't bear to take back the name Miss Hall that he almost blurted out, and instead sighed, "My Goddess... have you seen that black velvet robe! I bet it's La
Seran black velvet is an eternal trend and fashion in the Intis social world! I remember that you also have a skirt designed with it as a base. It seems that you wore it at a dinner party last year..."
"Yes, that dress was designed by Mrs. Genia. I like it very much." It's a pity that such dresses can only be worn once in a formal social occasion...
Audrey sighed with regret, then cheered up and looked at the figure who seemed to be hiding in the shadows with bright eyes.
Without much observation, Audrey could be sure that the other party was a young lady from a distinguished family!
That Rutheran black velvet robe was enough to confirm her guess!
This expensive clothing material is widely sought after by Intis nobles due to its extremely low output and extremely high fashion status. In recent years, during the cultural exchange collision between the Loen Kingdom and Intis, including
Many aesthetic elements have flowed from Intis into Loen's social scene, bringing new inspiration to designers and making countless beauty-loving ladies and ladies excited.
Audrey had even begun to guess whether the face under the other person's robe could be that of a noble daughter she had met at a dinner party...
After observing carefully for a while, Audrey noticed more details, and noticed that the body curves of the woman in black robe were becoming perfect, and every part seemed to be full of charm that made it difficult to look away. She
The posture is casual, but it is different from Forsi's laziness. It is a kind of strength and confidence that comes from the heart, which makes her show such a posture...
Just when Audrey was guessing which prominent family she would be the wife of, Xio's steady and serious voice interrupted her thoughts.
"So, what's your purpose in telling us this? What's your intention?"
Hearing this, Audrey and Viscount Gray Lint both retracted their gazes from the black-robed woman and started watching the play in front of them again.
"Intention? Don't slander me! I'm just... just kindly sharing some information with you!"
The young man seemed a little unhappy, but looking at Xio's too immature face, he still put away his temper and hummed twice:
"If it weren't for the fact that some of you like Emperor Russell, I wouldn't bother to say more... Those who like Emperor Russell must not be bad people!"
To be continued...
