An Ordinary Actor with No Reputation

An unknown, ordinary actor? Fimbul was a person who had been respectfully invited from the Actors Guild to handle the relics of Ninth Stage awakened being.

Even if Linsey is out of her mind, you can't believe this kind of self-introduction.

He naturally responded with the utmost respect:

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Fen..."

Linsey suddenly stopped talking.

Because when he wanted to call the actor by name, it was as if a part of the actor's self-introduction had been deleted from his mind.

I clearly remember the other greetings.

But Linsey couldn't remember the other person's name!

"..."

Fenna looked at Linsey and suddenly laughed.

"Haha, don't worry about my name."

"You can just call me Miss Actor."

Linsey tried asking:

"Miss Actor?"

He could remember the code name, but he still couldn't recall the real name.

Seeing Linsey's confusion, Fenna explained directly, "I once performed in another world and made a small mistake, and a fair and just wizard took away my name."

"Since then, no one has been able to remember my name."

"..."

Wouldn't that be too much trouble?

The question had just formed in Linsey's mind, but before he could speak, Fenna said directly:

"At first, I didn't think it was a big deal."

"But after I changed dozens of names and consulted many people, and still couldn't solve the problem, I realized how troublesome this kind of thing is."

— Mind reading.

Moreover, it possesses a mind-reading ability even stronger than that of mediators.

Just as Linsey realized this, Fenna winked adorably and pointed to Wala Wala beside her:

"Just like the Source Material traits."

"When emotions and the Essence merge, this kind of power will eventually be generated."

Fenna gave a brief explanation, then got straight to the point:

"Linsey, show me that stone pillar."

"According to Xiao Bu, you plan to use it to trade with us?"

Linsey naturally took out the Inscribed Stone Pillar:

"That's right, I'm not an artist after all. These things are more rightfully meant to be in your hands."

This time, the emotional power on the stone pillar did not spread.

Fenna, who seemed not to be displaying any power, simply held the stone pillar in her hand, and the Emotional Infection automatically dissipated.

She narrowed her eyes:

"This... that's right, it is indeed the power of the Ninth Stage."

"And she's someone I know— Vanna Aurora."

The room was quiet.

Everyone knows this name: the legendary artist who created the City of a Thousand Sails, and also the owner of the name of this sea.

"Xiao Bu, the map."

Fenna suddenly spoke.

Fimbul, who had been standing at the back, respectfully took out the map.

He unfolded the map.

The map above is clearly a detailed map of the City of a Thousand Sails.

It utilizes the painter's ingenious skills, allowing each map image to be zoomed in and out at will, expanding to the details, and even displaying the corresponding scenes in the city in real time.

To put it bluntly...

This map is based on a surveillance satellite that doesn't actually use any data!

Without Fenna's prompting, Linsey tried it out and moved the image directly above the Underwater Studio, just like using a touchscreen.

"The location is right here."

"On the seabed, there is a huge rock with a palette underneath it. By adjusting the order of the three primary colors in painting, you can open the path to the inside."

Fenna noted the location down and smiled slightly at Linsey: "Okay, I've got this place in mind."

As soon as she finished speaking, Fenna's image as a young girl suddenly became blurry.

She seemed to be transforming into another form, and her clothes began to look exactly like Linsey's.

But just as the character's appearance was about to stabilize.

Her transformation suddenly failed, and she reverted to her previous girlish appearance.

"..."

This time, Fenna's smile was gone.

She suddenly spoke up, "Xiao Bu, get out."

Fimbul, standing at the door, also looked tense, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. "Sir? This Mr. Linsey is..."

Fenna interrupted directly:

"I'm telling you to get out."

"..."

Fimbul dared not resist.

He gave Linsey an apologetic look, then grabbed Yao Xing and pulled her back out. "Yao Xing, let's go outside. The theater is preparing for tomorrow's Art Festival."

Fimbul and Yao Xing left.

Seeing this, Fenna was still not satisfied.

She grabbed the still-going Seth and threw him out of the room.

Crack! The playwright and his chair crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces, and he regained his senses.

The playwright who left Fimbul helpless.

Fenna woke him up with just one movement! But Fenna wasn't done yet; she continued to look at the Wala Wala in the room:

"Child of False Appearance, you too, get out."

Wala Wala naturally didn't want to leave:

"I want one too..."

"Wala Wala, it's alright." At this moment, it was Linsey who interrupted Wala Wala, saying seriously, "If Miss Actor were to do something to me, it would be the same no matter who was there."

"..."

"We're going to the theater together today, and we must leave together."

"Wala Wala said earnestly to Linsey."

Only then did she leave the room, close the door, and lean against it, not taking a single extra step.

"..."

The room was completely silent.

Fenna didn't need to use any skills; her aloofness spread, making the entire room seem as if it were excluded from the world.

The entire room felt like another world.

When Linsey and Fenna were alone, he asked her:

"Miss Actor, it's no problem for you and me to talk alone, Wala Wala I feel..."

Fenna interrupted her directly, saying, "I'm protecting you."

"The Child of False Appearance is connected to the people of Black Tide Island. If she is present, you are likely to be targeted by some unsavory individuals."

Linsey became alert.

He certainly wouldn't doubt his companion based on Fenna's one-sided account.

But the important question still needs to be clarified, "You mean... there's a problem with Wala Wala?"

Fenna shook her head and said, "She's fine, but her background is problematic."

"Once the madmen on Black Tide Island realize something—then your situation will be... well, those people aren't as easy to talk to as I am."

"..."

Hearing Wala Wala there was no problem, Linsey naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

He subconsciously checked his [Map] skill; both Fenna in the room and Wala Wala outside the door were now marked with friendly Green Marker.

Linsey tried to speak:

"I heard before that the Fallen Artist on Black Tide Island were purged by the Art Association."

Fenna put her index finger to her lips. "That's just what they say to outsiders."

"Eighth Stage Awakened is not something that can be dealt with so easily."

Linsey spread her hands:

"So what exactly is it that you want to talk to me about in private?"

"I just want to confirm one fact." Fenna moved closer, her serious eyes meeting Linsey's directly. "Linsey, you're taking the Human Wisdom Codex with you, are you planning to go to the City of Law?"
