Behind the desk, a man wearing a golden mask and a tuxedo leaned on the back of the chair, spread his hands, and said with a smile:

"Aren't we friends? This is my gift to you."

Rawls pushed the paper bag back towards the man in the golden mask, put his fingers on his chin, leaned forward and stared at the man across the table:

"It is even more important to calculate clearly between friends, otherwise it will damage our friendship."

"This sentence of yours reminds me of what Emperor Roselle said, and the brothers have to settle the account." The golden mask man's thumb hooked his chin, "The market price of the main material of the Sequence 7 potion is 500 From £700 to £700, we will take £700 as the standard, but it’s just two copies, 700 pounds for two copies?”

Rawls's face twitched under the mask, and then readily agreed:

"No problem." After speaking, he took out a thick stack of banknotes from the pocket under the black robe, counted out seventy 10-pound banknotes and placed them on the table.

The man in the golden mask did not count the amount again, he directly opened the drawer and swept the stack of banknotes in, then stood up and handed the paper bag to Rawls, while extending his right hand:

"Congratulations, you are about to become a 'briber'."

Rawls looked at the paper bag in his left hand and the outstretched right hand, and also stood up, but only took the paper bag and did not shake hands with the man with the golden mask.

The masked man just tilted his head slightly, with a faint smile still hanging from the corner of his mouth, and withdrew his right hand without embarrassment:

"This is the first step in our friendship, and I hope there will be a second."

"Hehe, this should be the second step. The first step has already been taken last time." The last time Rawls was blocked by the masked man after the party, he had already completed a transaction.

The masked man was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said:

"Yes, it's already the second step."

Rolls carried the paper bag containing the two main materials of "The Bribe", turned and left the study. In fact, this is the third transaction completed by the two people, but the man in the golden mask did not know that Hugh was sent by Rawls.

The man in the golden mask stood behind the desk, didn't sit down for a long time, his eyes narrowed as if he was thinking about something, and then shook his head, he knew that the person who left should not come to Mr. A's party for a while. As for the "friendship" of two people, it is limited to completing transactions, and it is still very difficult to really recruit.

It seems that only those destitute nobles are the targets of his recruitment, and those who have nothing to lose are the easiest to satisfy.

…

The Backlund Bridge is the only bridge connecting the two banks of the Tussock River, and it is also the largest bridge in the Ruen Kingdom. It was designed by Telford, Bishop of the Church of Steam and Machinery in Backlund more than 50 years ago.

Because it is necessary to meet the passage of pedestrians and carriages, but also to meet the shipping requirements, especially with the invention of steam-powered ships, the ships have gradually become larger, so Bishop Telford designed a single-arch iron with a span of 200 meters. bridge. (Note 1)

Apart from ships and subways, the Backlund Bridge is the only passage connecting the two banks of the Tussock River, so the flow of people has always been heavy. In order to prevent accidents and protect the bridge, there is even a special bridge guarding soldier on duty here.

At the eastern end of the Backlund Bridge, Forsi, who was wearing a beige, ruffled stand-neck dress, found a hidden place and waited for Xio to join her. She just posted a request for "spirit eaters" and "deep-sea marlin blood" at Mr. A's party, but she didn't get anything, so she left the villa early and took the subway to Backlund Bridge,

Forsi stuck his head out from time to time to see if Xio was there. It is now close to ten o'clock in the evening, and there are not many people even in the densely crowded Backlund Bridge. A team of ten bridge guards is patrolling the bridge, which makes her afraid to approach the bridge at all, for fear of being questioned by the bridge guards. .

Looking at the red moon above her head, Fors couldn't help shivering. The full moon babbling the previous two days made her almost out of control. If it wasn't for Hugh, she would have gone to bed by now.

With a sigh, Forsi stretched out his head again. Seeing that Xio didn't appear, he sighed again. He didn't know whether Xio was recruited by MI9, or did he directly ask for training after being recruited? But Jeffrey never said that.

Just as she was about to retract her protruding head, Forsi's light blue eyes suddenly flashed a hint of panic. She saw a faint shadow on the ground, and there was someone behind her!

Forsi folded the fingers of his left hand inward, trying to touch the bracelet covered by the lotus leaf on the cuff of her left hand. It was a bracelet that allowed her to use the ability to travel through the spiritual world for a short time, and her right hand silently touched her waist. Go, there's a dagger there.

When her left hand touched a dark blue rough stone on the bracelet, a man's voice suddenly came from behind.

"it's me."

Jeffrey Lister?

Forsi did not relax his vigilance and maintained his current movements. He took out a dagger from his waist with his right hand, and turned around. A man in a black robe and a hooded mask was standing behind her, staring at the dagger in her hand. dagger.

"Why are you here?" Seeing that it was Jeffrey, Fors was obviously relieved, and put the dagger in his right hand back to his waist, but the left hand still kept the original movement.

Rawls glanced at the silver bracelet exposed on Forsi's left wrist. A rough stone with a dark blue color that seemed to have been burned was being held in Forsi's hand, and handed over a piece of paper in his hand:

"I forgot to give this to Hugh. You can also take a look at it. It is a benefit I gave you in advance. Remember not to spread it out, or if you are tracked down, don't blame me for not reminding you."

On the paper is the relevant content of the acting method. Originally, Rawls did not want to give it directly, at least until Hugh became a "sheriff" or "interrogator". Before Xio joined MI9, it was not a good thing to increase his strength too quickly, especially when his identity was still hidden.

But Alysia asked Rawls to directly hand over the acting method to Fors, saying that her mental state was not good and there was a risk of losing control. Considering what he got from Alysia, Rawls had to do as she said. Because of the butterfly of Rawls, the two who did not have a relationship with Audrey wanted to join the Tarot Club, knowing how to act was almost impossible. As for Forsi, he used a spiritual world shuttle one month earlier than the original book, and without the blessing of the Fool, he couldn't last long under the full moon.

Forsi took the paper suspiciously, glanced at the content on it, and immediately immersed in it. When she looked up again, Rawls was no longer in front of her eyes, and Xio, who had returned to her normal appearance, walked over from not far away.

After looking around for a week, he couldn't find the missing Jeffrey, Fors greeted Xio in the direction of Xio, looked at her somewhat rosy eyes, and couldn't help worrying:

"Didn't MI9 recruit you?"

Xio shook his head and nodded again. Without answering, he rushed into Forsi's arms and started sobbing, saying vaguely:

"Jeffrey was right, they did exactly what he said."

Forsi breathed a sigh of relief and patted Xio on the back:

"Since you have all succeeded, don't cry. I thought you failed? Jeffrey was still here just now and disappeared in a blink of an eye."

Xio raised his head in Forsi's arms, with tears on his face, he was a little surprised:

"Jeffrey? How did he know we were meeting here? What did he come for?"

"I don't know." Forsi shook his head, "He should have followed me secretly to deliver this."

After she finished speaking, she handed the note that recorded the "acting method" to Xio.

"Acting?"

…

Dock area, Silver Mirror Long Street, in Rawls's rented cottage.

Rawls took out two tin boxes from the paper bag, put them aside, and took out the prepared beaker and the auxiliary materials of the "briber", such as golden mandala juice, black mandala juice, and psychedelic essential oil. , and a £130 bottle of Allmere red wine.

Looking at Alysia, who was sitting in a lame chair but balancing, Rawls seemed to ask unintentionally:

"You seem to have a good attitude towards Fors, don't you?" He urged him to agree to an unfair deal, gave Fors, the salted fish, more time to complete the transcription, and asked him to teach Fors how to act.

"Abraham's kindness, Tamara needs to repay." Alysia still looked like a wax figure with no expression, and there was no sense of urgency to urge Rawls.

So you take me for favor? Rawls shook his head. He could never tell Alysia that Fors was not Abraham. Although she suffered from the full moon rant, in the final analysis she only inherited the legacy of the widow of a member of the Abraham family. She probably didn't even know what Abraham was.

Taking out the beaker, Rawls opened the bottle of Allmir and poured out 80ml carefully, which was worth 10 pounds. Although it is said that the quantity and quality of the auxiliary materials have little effect on the finished potion, the better the material, the more comfortable it is.

Use three droppers to drop 5 drops of golden mandala juice, 5 drops of black mandala juice, and 4 drops of psychedelic essential oil into 80 ml of wine. As the configuration of the auxiliary materials is completed, a charming aroma of wine rises from the beaker.

He is not an alcoholic, and even when he is playing "Barbarian", he is only pursuing the stimulation of alcohol, but the rich aroma makes Rawls have the urge to drink the semi-finished product directly.

He forced himself to resist this urge, opened the iron box on the side, and the soft cry of a baby came into his ears, picked up this strange flower with a face that resembled a baby's face, and threw it directly into the beaker.

As soon as the crying baby flower entered the beaker and came into contact with the dark red liquid, a sound immediately sounded inside the beaker. This sound seemed to accommodate all kinds of situations in the world: there were babies crying similar to the previous ones, the cheerful laughter of children, and adults. The hearty laughter of men and the daring of those who failed, there are whispers and quarrels between husband and wife, and the sighs and regrets of old people.

Rawls took out the crystals of marijuana that kept changing expressions and strange faces and threw them in. The liquid inside the beaker reflected different colors. These colors formed distorted faces, each face and the sound it made. Gradually matching, and finally these twisted faces all end up with the same expression - contented, disappearing into the liquid.

Raising the beaker, Rawls looked like a whole finished potion. With the shaking of the beaker, the voice and distorted face no longer appeared, but still reflected the charming color, as if filled with the * of everyone in the world. * with weaknesses.

Looking back at Alysia, seeing her nodding, Rawls closed his eyes and drank the potion that seemed to be a whole in the beaker. As soon as he entered it, he felt like he was drinking the best wine and eating the most delicious food, and every taste bud on his tongue was exuding a sense of satisfaction.

As the potion disappeared in his mouth, Rawls felt as if his spiritual body was about to leave his body, as if he was in a beautiful dream. Someone put on a crown inlaid with a huge ruby ​​and presented the sword of order representing power. The most beautiful women from all countries accompanied him, and in front of him was a long table that saw the end, and there were countless delicacies on the table.

In the next moment, the dream turned into a nightmare. The crown on his head gradually shrank, causing him to have a splitting headache. The sword of order, representing power, pierced into his heart, and the beautiful woman beside him grew sharp teeth and bit his flesh. , those delicacies made his stomach cramp and he vomited black blood.

Just when Rawls began to fall into fear, a boundless, pale, illusory mist rose in front of him, the nightmare went away, and countless prayers came from his ears.

"Eternal chaos,

You are the lord of the disordered realm,

It is the shadow of the incarnation of order. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com”

When the prayers dissipated, Rawls opened his eyes and felt the active spirituality. He knew that he had become the "briber" of Sequence Seven.

Most of the paths are on Sequence 7 or Sequence 6, and when they reach a qualitative change, they will have more and more unique ways to deal with the enemy, and will no longer rely on guns and guns to fight. After becoming a Sequence 7 "Briber", the "Black Emperor" path Extraordinary has only one "Bribery" ability, but there are four different bribery effects.

Weakening: The premise of using this ability is to give the target certain things, and then the target's attack, defense or control against itself can be greatly weakened within a certain period of time;

Charm: By giving "bribes" in the actual or symbolic sense, the target has a strong favorable impression, it is difficult to emerge hostile intentions, and even unwilling to fight with the target, if the conditions are suitable, the bribee has a very small probability of attacking the partner in the opposite direction;

Arrogance: By giving actual or symbolic bribes, the target is proud, arrogant, mentally lowered, and misjudged;

Association: A connection is established between two parties by giving a bribe, actual or symbolic.

The first three of these four effects are actually equivalent to DEBUFF. After a set, even if it is a Beyonder stronger than himself, the remaining combat power is not much better. With the addition of "bribes", there is no need for the opponent to accept it, even if Rawls directly throws something directly to the opponent, a "bribe" is achieved.

This is the characteristic of the "Dark Emperor" pathway, which not only exploits the loopholes in the rules, but also has the overbearing power of the emperor.
