Hurricane General Qilingus

"It's fine, this is already very good," Hugh quickly replied, then began to ponder with some confusion, "Money, the ocean... Could it be that I'll be thrown into the sea because of some unexpected fortune?"

She really couldn't think of any danger related to money or the ocean.

Luo Lin, however, guessed what was going on. Connecting it to the original story, what he had divined was clearly what happened in the original story a month later, when Hugh, at the request of Audrey the Justice, provoked Hurricane General Qilingus and nearly died.

Speaking of Hurricane General Qilingus... Luo Lin slightly lowered his eyelids, a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

To be honest, Luo Lin wasn't too interested in the "Creeping Hunger." While it could be considered a small divine artifact for ordinary Beyonders, it required devouring people daily if unsealed. Even after sealing, it still needed to devour people after battles; otherwise, it would backlash, which was quite a pain.

Luo Lin didn't have the Evernight to suppress the Creeping Hunger like Klein. If he encountered a backlash due to not satisfying the Creeping Hunger's needs after using it, it wasn't impossible for him to fail.

Similarly, when borrowing external power, Luo Lin would rather spend more time building goodwill with Beyonders from various Paths and borrow their strength. However, if he could truly obtain it, he could at least sell it for money, or simply give it away as a favor.

Instead, Luo Lin was more interested in the information held by Hurricane General Qilingus. This pirate general possessed the coordinates of an island inhabited by numerous extraordinary creatures. Although that island was related to Adam, Luo Lin still really wanted to take a risk once he had a certain level of trump cards.

Perhaps he could get that Blasphemy Card of the Storm pathway!

It wasn't impossible for Adam to invest in him.

Moreover, the island had many extraordinary creatures, serving as a natural material repository. Even if Luo Lin couldn't use them himself, selling them for money would be good.

Of course, the prerequisite for all of this was that when the Hurricane General Qilingus incident occurred, he would have the ability to kill him.

Thinking of this, Luo Lin glanced at Hugh in front of him and prompted, "Could it be related to some pirates?"

Since he planned to get involved in the Hurricane General Qilingus incident, Luo Lin naturally had to make some preparations.

"Pirates?" Hugh blinked in surprise.

"That's how I see it. You're a bounty hunter, and Backlund itself is a port city. Perhaps within the next two months, you'll go out to sea for some reason, or pirates might sneak into Backlund, and you just happen to encounter them." Luo Lin said with a straight face. What he said was actually the truth. "And many pirates have bounties themselves, perfectly fitting the conditions of money and the ocean."

Hugh showed a look of sudden realization. Although there was no evidence, she had to admit that Luo Lin's deduction made a lot of sense.

"I understand, thank you, Jack. I owe you a favor," Hugh said earnestly, adding silently in her heart – if the divination result was true.

"I thought you would waive the fees for my subsequent commissions," Luo Lin joked with a smile.

"There's a famous saying by Roselle: even with biological brothers and sisters, accounts must be settled clearly," Hugh replied seriously, also smiling. "And believe me, my favor is worth more than 40 pounds."

"Hmm, indeed." Luo Lin seemed to ponder for a few seconds, then nodded.

After chatting for a while longer, Luo Lin chose to take his leave.

He still had many things to do.

After Luo Lin left, Hugh also quickly left the coffee shop. After confirming she wasn't being followed, she returned to her apartment and found a certain lazy person lying on the sofa reading a novel.

Hugh was not surprised. Familiar with the routine, she poured herself a glass of water and sat down next to Fors. "I met a wild Beyonder like us today."

"What?" Fors looked at Hugh upon hearing this, asking with a rather lazy expression, "Which sequence Beyonder? You didn't get into any conflict with them, did you?"

"No, he's an Attendant of Mysteries." Hugh then recounted the day's events, and then said with some worry, "Do you think what he said is true?"

Hugh hadn't completely believed Luo Lin's words, but she couldn't help but worry about the divination result.

"This... it's probably fake? Of course, it could also be true." Fors finally became serious. She sat up straight, thought for a moment, and then comforted, "Besides, the divination result only indicates a potential threat to life, not a guaranteed death. Maybe you'll eliminate the other party and get the bounty?"

The "other party" naturally referred to the potential pirates.

"That's also a possibility..." Hugh nodded, agreeing with Fors's statement, and then sighed.

"It's okay, it's okay. At worst, you can stay home for the next two months, or I can accompany you..." Fors seemed to have made up her mind as she spoke. "With me here, no matter what danger we encounter, we can escape."

Hugh immediately understood what Fors meant. Her friend had a magical stone bracelet, which could consume the stones on the bracelet to "travel" and instantly reach another location.

"But won't this worsen your condition?" Hugh asked with concern. She knew her friend had been cursed because she used this bracelet, hearing terrifying whispers every full moon.

"No, and my condition isn't that serious anymore," Fors said with a smile, expertly concealing her guilt.

Her condition was actually not good, but to avoid worrying her friend, Fors chose to hide it.

"Alright..." Hugh clearly didn't expect her friend to lie to her. She nodded, her worries finally easing considerably. Then she thought of something and said, "If Jack's divination result is true, we should contact him more in the future. Regardless, divination is indeed a useful ability."

Fors nodded in agreement.

Although the transaction with Hugh was successful, Beyonder gatherings were not held every day. At least there were no Beyonder gatherings to participate in recently. However, according to Hugh, Luo Lin was lucky. In two days, on July 2nd, there would be a relatively high-end Beyonder gathering, and she could introduce Luo Lin to it.

Fortunately, Luo Lin wasn't in a hurry. He meticulously crafted his new alias and then arrived in Tingen on June 30th. If nothing unexpected happened, he would likely be traveling back and forth between Tingen and Backlund for the next two months.

Admittedly, without the ability to travel, this was a bit troublesome, but fortunately, with the steam train, Luo Lin found it acceptable.

On this same day, Klein arrived at Tingen University. Within the last two days, he had cleared his name, been exonerated, and received an invitation to join the Nighthawks.

After careful consideration, Klein chose to become a civilian staff member of the Nighthawks. The reason he came to Tingen University on June 30th was that the original owner had an interview invitation from Tingen University. Even though Klein would no longer be teaching at this school, he still needed to personally explain the situation.
