The nun with black stockings is actually a boy?

Now that gangs have been formalized, few people know about the Blood Hand Gang's early rules and etiquette.

"I didn't expect that this little thief could even do this." An old man couldn't help but complain.

Marco frowned and turned to look at the old man who was complaining: "Watch your mouth, this is my guest."

The old man broke out in a sweat and knelt down at Marco's feet smoothly and seamlessly.

"Let me tell you why we've been talking for an hour. This little guest can bring glory to our Blood Hand Gang." Marco put the cat down from his arms. "From now on, this guest is my guest of honor. If anything happens to this guest in our jurisdiction, I will invite the person in charge of that district to go swimming in the Aegean Sea."

……

"These are healing earrings. As long as they are used at night, they can continuously heal surface wounds. During the day, they can grant a simple healing spell. The appraisal quality is green."

In an appraisal office in the upper city of the imperial capital, an elderly appraiser put down his magnifying glass and respectfully handed the healing earrings to Helen.

When Helen heard the other party's explanation, she was immediately overjoyed.

He happened to be missing a healing item, and he didn't expect to be able to heal his teammates, otherwise he would have to do it during the day.

"Very good. Thank you, Mr. Luca." Helen turned to thank Luca and said, "Remember to pay Shop 33 in the Sewer Black Market. I just bought two magic pockets from them."

The corner of Luca's mouth twitched slightly.

Are you buying? You are cheating!

Although he was secretly complaining, Luca still bowed respectfully to Helen and said, "Yes, I understand, Your Highness."

Helen frowned. "What do you mean? I don't like this name."

"Um, the boss just called me and told me to treat you like an imperial princess."

"Oh, I don't like it." Helen rolled her eyes.

As a man, he feels weird being called a princess or something.

"Yes, sir." Luca was a man who knew how to adapt.

"Be prepared for battle tomorrow night. I will give you some good gifts tomorrow." Helen took the healing earrings and turned to leave the appraisal center.

Luca said yes and asked if he wanted to take Helen home.

"Want to know my address? Forget it. See you the day after tomorrow." Helen looked coquettish and sneered.

Luca watched Helen walk out of the appraisal center, and he began to feel a little scared.

He had never seen Helen's face, but he always felt that she was very charming.

Are you the witch of our Blood Hand Gang, or are you really the boss's illegitimate daughter as people speculate?

Luca began to feel uneasy.

……

Helen returned home (the convent), only to see Natalie holding a beautiful white rose dress and swaying it from side to side.

Helen smiled immediately, leaning against the doorway and said with a smile: "Did you buy the clothes you like?"

"Of course!" Natalie put down the white rose dress in her hand and picked up the black rose dress on the sofa. "I like black, so you can wear white."

Helen, who had been smiling, immediately shut up and asked in a panic, "Where's the dress I asked you to buy? Where's the suit?"

Natalie picked up the white rose dress in her hand again and said, "You didn't say I can't buy a skirt? A skirt is also a long dress!"

"You...you are playing word games!" Helen said angrily.

Natalie shrugged. "We're black and white, don't we look good? Many aristocratic twin girls wear this style!"

Chapter 36: All the Talents Arrive, Young and Old Gather [Second Update]

The two started out arguing about whether to wear a skirt tomorrow night, and then developed into a pillow fight that lasted until late at night. Finally, Helen raised her hands in surrender, and this epic battle ended.

After washing up, Helen returned to her bedroom and looked at the pure white staff she had obtained from the Ares family.

Although I am a little reluctant, it is a blue-quality extraordinary weapon after all. It can still grow in the future. It would be a waste if I don't use it.

Helen sat on the bed, looking at the pure white wand in her hand.

The staff was pure white, with a ruby inlaid on the end, and a spike at the tip like a spear, but it was wrapped in flowers, with petals floating out and disappearing from time to time, highlighting the luxury and power of this weapon.

"This weapon requires level 3 to be usable. I'm afraid the mana bar will be depleted after just two or three uses." Helen covered her forehead with one hand. "The skill [Succubus Kiss] granted by the level 2 Charm Warlock is powerful, but it only grants this one skill, and it doesn't provide any physical enhancements. In the early stages, it's ultimately inferior to physical classes."

At the next level, he might really have to consider the seed of the nun profession. After all, nuns are a half-spellcasting and half-physical profession, and promotion will strengthen the body itself. Of course, he is still a little resistant.

There is also a physical warrior who can be considered, but the problem is that warriors have height and physique requirements. Forcing them to eat it will harm their bodies. With my small arms and legs, it will take forever.

"Forget it, let me digest it first." Helen put the pure white wand back into her magic pocket.

Boom!Boom!

There was a knock on the door.

"I'm going to sleep." Helen spread her hands and lay on the bed.

"I won't play pillows with you. There's a blood elf newsboy outside who wants to see us. He's the one who's helping you get information." Natalie's explanation came from outside the door.

Helen was startled. She thought that it was already late at night, and there must be news about what she had asked for. She immediately got up and walked out of the room.

"Where are the people?"

"Just outside the monastery."

"Okay, I understand." Helen put on her nun's uniform, quickly walked out of the monastery and came to the door.

The little newspaper boy at the door looked around, and when he saw Helen opening the door, joy suddenly appeared on his face.

"Tell me, little one, what is the matter I asked you to do?" Helen took out the money from her pocket and put it in the newsboy's hand.

"Hey, Sister Helen, you're the kindest." The newsboy put the money away. "A number of the barbarians you mentioned have already entered the city. Some have obtained entry permits through formal channels, while others have sneaked in. They're currently mainly concentrated on 33rd and 34th Streets."

Helen raised the corner of her mouth slightly when she heard this, and gave the newsboy some more money, "Try again, try again."

He had a deal with the newsboy. Whenever the newsboy found out anything related to what he had told him, he would inform him, such as the whereabouts of the outsiders, which Helen had emphasized to the newsboy.

As a small-time liar, you naturally have to pay attention to the movements of your target group. This is the most basic thing.

"Okay, Sister Helen!" the newsboy assured, patting his chest.

Helen tilted her head and smiled: "By the way, I just called you little one and I didn't even know your name."

"Hehe, my parents passed away early, so they all called me Dimi." The newsboy scratched the back of his head.

Helen took out a candy from her bosom, the candy that Ivilia had given her. "This is a small reward for you, Dimi. By the way, see if you can find those outsiders and give them a task."

"Mission?" Dimi was puzzled.

"Yes, um... this is just a test for me, right?" Helen handed a piece of paper to Dimi. "Just tell them what's on it, and don't worry about the rest. When they ask you for a reward, remember to let me know."

Natalie, who was watching nearby, saw Helen's upturned mouth and knew that this kid Helen was going to cause trouble again.

But... she likes it, that's the nature of a witch.

……

On Monday night, the sky was dotted with stars and the silver moonlight fell on the cobblestone road leading to Alec Manor, casting a hazy and mysterious light and shadow.

Outside the manor, carriages were parked one after another on both sides of the gate. The drivers wore uniform uniforms, tall hats, and serious expressions. The occasional sound of horse hooves and wheels did not disturb them in the slightest.

One of the mechanical carriages stopped at the gate of the manor. The coachman opened the door and Natalie, wearing a black rose dress, walked out and jumped off the carriage smoothly.

The next person to come out from the carriage door was Helen, wearing a white rose skirt.

"I've already worn the skirt as required, why do you still ask me to wear white silk?" Helen stood on the carriage frame with a flushed face.

Natalie, who had already gotten off the ground, extended her hand to Helen. "White silk with a white dress, doesn't it look great?"

The pure white rose flower skirt, with bright red roses dotted around the waist, is paired with over-the-knee socks. It highlights the purity while revealing the absolute area just right. The thigh flesh squeezed by the white stockings adds a touch of astringency to the pure temperament, making the purity become a foil of the astringency, like a delicate and juicy fruit.

"Hmph~" Helen turned her head and hummed, then bent down and squatted to find the right position.

Natalie withdrew her hand, "You really don't want my help?"

Helen let out a whoosh, jumped off the carriage, and successfully stood on the ground.

Natalie clapped her hands upon seeing this. "Sister is so strong. I'm very pleased. So... Ouch~"

Helen took back her hand that hit Natalie and said, "Don't get carried away. Tonight is not just for fun. We have a goal and a mission."

Natalie looked around and quietly stuck close to Helen. "I haven't made a breakthrough yet. Do you need me to do it now?"

"No need. We don't necessarily have to take part in the battle tonight." Helen handed the magic pocket to Natalie.

Natalie took it in surprise. "You managed it in one night? It's hard to find a source for something like this, right? When we were in school, the principal bought a house uptown just to do this."

"Well, some shady methods were used, but it's absolutely legal and compliant." Helen tried her best to save face.

Natalie always felt that Helen was going to cheat again, so she said with some dissatisfaction: "Take me to cheat again sometime."

Helen glanced at Natalie in surprise, then covered her mouth and smiled: "Then let's do it tonight."

After the two of them finished talking, they came to the gate of Alec Manor and showed the invitation letter.

When the guards at Alec Manor saw Helen and the other girl holding invitations, they did not stop them but asked a waiter to lead the way.

At the front of the spacious manor was a typical fountain garden. The water from the fountain danced like spirits under the illumination of the surrounding streetlights, and the surrounding flowers exuded a blend of fragrance. Waiters shuttled between them, leading guests in various exotic costumes towards the luxurious buildings that were just in sight in the distance.

"There are so many foreigners. What do they do? I haven't seen some of their clothes or accessories before~" Natalie suddenly pointed to the team led by the waiter.

Helen followed Natalie's finger and smiled in relief when she saw the familiar attire. "They are caravans and diplomats from various countries, as well as young talents from various countries, who have come to conduct diplomatic activities with the Roman royal family. This is a conversation between the younger generation."

Among those teams were Franks in gorgeous robes, English high elves in double-breasted suits, Ruskievs and dwarves in winter robes, Prussian knights in uniforms, Viennese in art student uniforms, and even Orientals in Hanfu.

"What a great gathering of talented people, young and old." Helen tilted her head slightly. "The stage is truly grand~"

Chapter 37: The Third Princess Irina [Update ]

After Helen and Natalie put on the masks given by Ivilia, they followed the waiter into the main hall of the manor. What came into view was the brightly lit banquet hall. The place was bustling with people, and gentlemen and ladies in gorgeous dresses were chatting to the soothing accompaniment of music.

The crystal chandelier emits a soft light, illuminating every detail. The gold-rimmed decorations sparkle under the light. The table is covered with an exquisite tablecloth and filled with silverware and crystal glasses. The aroma of various delicacies is in the air.

“Why do some people wear masks like us, but some don’t?”

In the hall, Natalie whispered in Helen's ear.

Helen shrugged. "Because we're going to hold an auction to promote relations between countries, but there are always winners and losers in an auction, so the mask is the best way to diffuse the awkwardness. After the auction is over, when the guests return to their rooms to change, they can take off their masks and dance."

Natalie uttered an "oh," then realized something was wrong and squinted her eyes as she asked, "Sister Helen, how come you know so much about all this?"

Helen tilted her head and smiled. "Perhaps I even know the etiquette and rules of other countries? But..."

"But what?" Natalie demanded.

"Please don't call me sister!" Helen said, walked to a dining table and took a glass of juice to drink.

Because Ivylia's mask only half covered her face, it did not interfere with Helen's eating and drinking.

Natalie pouts as she walks over to Helen, also ready to drink juice, but while getting the juice, she notices a roasted leg of lamb on the table.

"Hey, Helen, there's roasted lamb leg!" Natalie bumped Helen's shoulder.

Helen, who was drinking bitter melon juice, was startled and turned to look at the table. She saw that there was indeed a fragrant roasted leg of lamb on it.

"Fuck, Natalie, cover me." Helen's eyes widened.

He and Natalie had been making a fortune recently, but their meals were still rice porridge with pickles. Not only did the church staff advocate for clear soups with less greasiness, but all the money they earned had been spent on clothes and equipment, and the rest was just emergency supplies. Therefore, Natalie and Helen rarely ate meat, and now this huge roasted leg of lamb appeared on the table...

"I'll cover you for a while, and you cover me for a while." Natalie swallowed.

Without saying a word, Helen grabbed the roasted leg of lamb on the table and stuffed it into her mouth. However, her mouth was too small, so she could only eat it one bite at a time.

Natalie, standing next to her, couldn't help herself and simply gave up her cover, reaching out to grab the roasted lamb leg on the table and started eating. Although she used to be a farmer, it didn't mean she could eat meat every day, and she had sold it all.

So the two of them started eating at this secluded dining table, until the other hand grabbed the third roasted lamb leg on the plate, which made the two people who were gnawing on the lamb leg stop.

Helen and Natalie looked up along the slender white arm and saw a girl wearing the same mask as them.

"Hmm." The girl first took a bite of the roasted leg of lamb, then noticed that Helen and Natalie were looking at her, and a faint blush suddenly appeared on her face.

Helen narrowed her eyes, "Avilia?"
