With a bang, Rawls opened the drawer and put in the diary in his hand and the "Insights from the Spirit World" that Forsi copied, and took out another brown book about the size of two adults' palms.
In the center of the book is a rather scrawled Hermetic word "talisman".
He was really bored during this period, and the only owner of the Iron Anchor Bar, Ken, who he could talk to, officially sold the bar last week and went to Intis according to the instructions of the "Viscount of Fear".
So Rawls would often take out the "Spells" that Alicia gave him and take a look at it. It recorded dozens of methods for making spells, but unfortunately only a dozen of them could be made.
According to Alicia, this book was originally just the speculation and experiment of a certain ancestor of Tamara. It was later compiled into a volume, but a lot of content was missing. Even if some additions were made later, most of the spells
Still can't make it.
Moreover, the talisman is a one-time consumable. Even if it is not used, it will expire after a maximum of two weeks. Those high-end talismans, such as the one Alicia made for Xio, can only last for one year.
About half.
The Tamara family lives in the Honakis Mountains, and rarely uses spells, and there are not many materials for making spells. Therefore, for the Tamaras, spells are not a weapon they trust.
This also resulted in very few people being able to complete the "Spell" again.
Among the dozen or so talismans that can be made, there are only two that Rawls can use and make, the "distortion" talisman and the "chaos" talisman. The rest are either not useful to him, or are inconsistent with
His own abilities overlapped.
Making a spell requires praying to a certain being, and the type of spell must be within the domain or authority of that being. The followers of the "Uncertain Mist" can only pray to the "Uncertain Mist", and the "Uncertain Mist"
The only channels covered by "Fog" are "arbitrator" and "lawyer".
The Tamara family masters the "arbitrator" path, so they don't need to make a spell corresponding to this path. What they need is a spell corresponding to the "lawyer" path, but this overlaps with Rawls' own ability.
Although during this period, he screened two talismans that he could make and apply, Rawls did not make one. After all, this thing took a lot of energy and had a short shelf life. After he was sure that he would not be able to use it in a short time, he did not make it.
And now, Rawls realizes that there are clues about Hermoshuin's third-generation difference engine manuscript. Naturally, he wants to find a way to get involved and see if he can fish in troubled waters, get a few other manuscripts, and mix them into hundreds of thousands.
Pound net worth.
After all, he will expand the scale of his law firm and continue to improve his status in the Conservative Party. Money is indispensable. A law firm that only expects to earn tens of thousands of pounds a year will definitely not be able to satisfy Rawls.
political needs.
Moreover, Klein is still far away from Gehrman Sparrow who can kill on the spot, and Audrey, the big financier, cannot use too much funds now, so before that, Rawls can only rely on himself.
Since Backlund may have known the clues to the Hermoshuin manuscript, Zerrell's side must have obtained the clues long ago and reported it to Feysac. However, the people closest to the manuscript at present should be Zerrell's subordinates.
The big boy - Ian Wright.
But a street kid is hard to find, so Rawls can only get clues from detective Zerrell, but the Intis Embassy will definitely start from here, and maybe Zerrell has been secretly monitored now.
Even arresting and interrogating is not impossible.
If Rawls goes to find Zerrell now, it might be "Secret Puppet Master" Rosago pretending to be him!
But Detective Zerrell is definitely not dead. According to the agreement signed by Rawls and him, if he dies, the task entrusted by Rawls will naturally not be completed, so Rawls, as Party A, will know.
Originally, he was thinking of signing an agreement with Zerrell early, and then quietly profiting from it through the divination of the "Staff of Fairness". But now that the "Stick of Fairness" failed to evolve, his previous ideas were completely ruined.
But Rawls didn't want to give up directly. After all, this was a relatively normal way of making money that he could find, and even if he said it to the outside world, it would make sense and would not be doubted by some people in the Conservative Party.
He can't go directly to Detective Zerrell. Backlund's only chance now is the manuscript of Hermoshuin's third-generation difference engine. In order to preserve his status and power, what can he do to Rawls?
No one will doubt it.
After all, the last "Red Priest" was Tudor. No one knows whether that crazy blood emperor had any influence on that sequence?
In order to ensure his own safety, Rawls had to make a few spells, and he had to wait until Alicia was by his side to go around Zerrell's house.
After experiencing the last "ambush" of Intis and the Spiritual Cult, Rawls didn't dare to be so reckless. He only had one life, and he couldn't advance the power of the "Miracle Master" like Klein and resurrect him from the dead.

…
Queens, Earl Hall's luxurious villa.
Audrey opened her eyes and after confirming that Susie had not issued a warning, Shi Shiran stood up and straightened her skirt, went to a small study room attached to the bedroom, and used his memory to take out a book on the five or six rows of bookshelves.
.
"Stormhouse" was written by Susie who accidentally discovered an extraordinary person - Forsi Wall - when she attended Viscount Graylingt's cultural salon last time.
Originally, this book was what Audrey was reading before she became an extraordinary person. However, after she joined the Tarot Club, she was no longer interested in reading this novel. It was not until she learned that the author was also an extraordinary person that she read it in her spare time.
It's time to finish reading it.
Relying on the "audience's" excellent analytical ability, Audrey felt that she should be able to analyze the character of the author Forsi Wall from the character of the protagonist Ms. Sissi. After all, which author wouldn't bring herself into the role of the protagonist?
Although this book mixes a lot of things between the two of them, it is not difficult to see that Forsi is a calm, rational, and wise person, but he seems a little, well, lazy.
Holding this copy of "Stormhouse", Audrey opened the door to the room, nodded to the golden retriever guarding the door, waved to Annie, the personal maid standing at the end of the corridor, and then walked into the room.
Susie, the big golden retriever dog, followed in skillfully, and like an audience member walking into a theater to watch a play, she found a seat and lay down, waiting for the play to be performed.
Audrey looked at Susie helplessly, sighed, and sat on a chair, showing a standard smile and waiting for the personal maid Anne who was about to come in.
"Good afternoon, miss."
After bowing skillfully, Anne stood still and waited for Audrey's instructions.
"Annie, I was just reading the book "Stormhouse" and thought it was pretty good." Audrey pointed to the books spread aside, pretending to be hesitant and expectant, "I want to see that book."
An author, could you help me contact him?"
Anne just frowned slightly, quickly found the information about the author of "Stormhouse" from her memory, and breathed a sigh of relief:
"No problem, I will send an invitation to Ms. Forse Wall as soon as possible." My lady is not yet an adult. If the author of "Stormhouse" is a male, it will definitely have an impact on the reputation of the Hall family.
"No, it's best not to make an appointment with her directly. I want to observe her first at a banquet or salon to see if she is what I imagined?"
Audrey's acting skills were very good. At least Anne, who had been following her, didn't see any problems. She was still glad that the author of "Stormhouse" was a woman. After hearing Audrey's request, she only thought about it for a moment.
There is a way:
"There will be a cultural salon held at home the day after tomorrow. Master Hibbert is hosting it. I will ask for an extra invitation and send it to Ms. Wall."
"Great, Annie! Just do it!"
Anne smiled and exited the room and closed the door.
Audrey looked at the closed door, breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Susie lying down. Sure enough, compared to the "actor", the "audience" is better at acting!
Susie, who noticed Audrey turning her gaze towards her, stood up, opened her mouth and said:
"Audrey, your acting skills are really bad. Those at those banquets..."
"Susie!" Audrey raised her voice and shouted in an extremely unladylike tone. Seeing Susie's somewhat aggrieved expression, she began to consider whether to let Susie know that in Loen, one should be reserved when speaking, especially when dealing with someone.
A noble woman.
…
North District, in an apartment somewhere.
Wearing a knight's training uniform, with her hair tied up and covered by a top hat, Xio walked down the stairs. She had been taking on various tasks recently, and with her previous savings, she finally scraped together the money to buy the "Sheriff"
After paying for the materials, the next step is waiting for Mr. A’s party.
Xio looked at Forsi who closed the door and turned around with a surprised and confused expression. He pressed his hat and asked:
"What's wrong? Who is it? Is that Alicia the same as the wax figure? What's wrong with her?"
Alicia is a young and beautiful lady they just met last week, but she has no expression, she is like a delicate wax figure, and she lives next door to them.
Similar to Alicia's expressionless face, she also lacks enough life experience. She doesn't know how to use a gas meter, doesn't know how to bargain when shopping, and even knows a lot of common sense about life.
few.
Forsi and Xio both guessed that this was a noble lady who had run away from home. However, after going to Alicia's rented apartment and seeing more than a dozen sets of the latest clothes, this idea became somewhat untenable.
Stop.
The price of those clothes alone is enough to buy a "Sheriff" formula and ingredients. This is definitely not something a noble lady who runs away from home can afford, unless she takes a lot of jewelry with her before leaving.
"No." Forsi shook his head and raised a beautiful invitation in his hand, "It's my editor-in-chief who sent me an invitation to the Cultural Salon."
"The editor-in-chief sent it personally? Which salon was held by a great noble?" Xio, who was quite familiar with this kind of thing, naturally knew the reason.
"The eldest son of Earl Hall, Hibbert Hall." Forsi's expression was a little strange, as if he had remembered something funny.
Xio looked at Forsi strangely and said:
"Why do you look like this? Isn't that a good thing? Or do you not want to go?"
Forsi knew her character well. She would never go to such a banquet salon unless necessary. She would rather lie on the bed.
"It's not a problem with the organizer, but a problem with the time. The salon will be held the day after tomorrow." Forsi shook his head and shook the big golden retriever dog out of his memory.
"The day after tomorrow?" Xio held her chin with her right hand. Earl Hall's family is a large family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is impossible to make such a mistake. If Forsi had just become famous, it might be possible, but her famous work "
"Stormhill" was two months ago.
The more Xiu thought about it, the more something was wrong, so he tried to dissuade her:
"You think there's a problem? Then don't participate!"
"Of course, I don't like to attend this kind of banquet."
After seeing Forsi's refusal, Xio stopped thinking about the matter and just asked:
"Didn't you get your formula a long time ago? Is there still no news about the ingredients?"
Forsi's face immediately fell, she glanced at Xio resentfully, walked to the sofa and lay down, and threw the invitation in her hand on the coffee table, looking like I don't want to talk to you. She also thought very hard.
I was looking for information, but there was no news at all. No one knew anything about the soul eaters. Deep-sea marlin was said to be available at some pirate gatherings.
Xio walked to the sofa, sat down against Forsi, and comforted:
"At Mr. A's party tomorrow, I will help you find out from the person in charge of MI9. If not, I will help you find Jeffrey. Since he can give you the formula, maybe he can give you the materials?"
Forsi was a little moved, but still firmly shook his head and refused:
"No, that masked man might be testing you. Don't do anything that makes him suspicious. This will have a great impact on your future investigations. Jeffrey, wait until I finish the remaining parts of "Spirit Realm Insights"
After copying the following chapters to him, ask him if he has those materials."
Xiu licked his lips, nodded silently, and lay down on the sofa.
Forsi's blue eyes blinked, and finally she turned her attention to the invitation on the coffee table. The last time she participated in Viscount Gray Lint's cultural salon, her essential purpose was to help Xiucha through these noble children.
Know what happened to her father.
But Forsi found that it was almost impossible to use these people to investigate cases involving a palace earl, unless she was willing to wait until these people inherited the title. But she couldn't afford to wait.
For Forsi at that time, the full moon's gibbering was her lingering nightmare. She could lose control and turn into a monster at any time after gibbering. So she went to the top as soon as possible to help Xio find out what her father's case was.
Forsi's only wish at that time.
After all, for Forsi, who has lived alone for many years, apart from Mrs. Anlisa, who has passed away, only Hugh is the most important thing to her.
Although Forsi now has the formula of "Master of Magic", she seems to realize that she can't last too long. Even if she can survive the next full moon, what about next time?
