In Empress Borough, inside what appeared to be a nobleman's house, Lorry and Fors, dressed in hooded robes, sat in a secluded corner.

Fors glanced quickly at the Blackboard and sighed in disappointment.

She whispered, "Nobody sells the Formula for ' Solar High Priest '."

Then she looked around, trying to find the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Believer who had performed the exorcism for Hugh last time among the many people wearing Hooded Robe.

Still no results.

"That's normal. Without sufficient profit, no Beyonder would easily sell the Formula for this Pathway," Lorry chuckled, Soothing his companion.

He waved to Attendant and asked for paper and pen.

Do you want it?

"Yes," Fors said without hesitation.

She also planned to purchase Mystical Item or Beyonder Weapon from the Sun Domain to see if she could satisfy "the world" and earn some reward in the process.

Soon, the two handed their respective notes to the waiting Attendant.

"You need Mystical Item from the Sun Domain?"

Lorry leaned closer and whispered a question. With the eyesight of a "Marauder," he could naturally see Fors's deliberately Distortion handwriting in the dim light.

At this point in time, she was probably asking on behalf of Klein?

Of course, if I hadn't interfered, her purpose in doing this was probably to make some extra money from the "Trickmaster" Formula in Klein's possession— Lorry recalled the plot.

Sure enough, Fors nodded slightly. "A member of the Concealment gathering has this need."

Lorry thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I happen to have a Mystical Item from the Sun Domain."

After saying that, he tilted his head slightly and whispered in Fors's ear about the extraordinary effects and negative effects of "Sunfire".

Sensing the distance between them, Fors's Brain went blank for a moment. At that moment, she was incredibly grateful that the hood had covered her.

He stained his own face.

To be honest:

Lorry has quite a few Mystical Item on him now.

"The Curse of Knowledge" was temporarily kept in custody by the lieutenant Lieutenant Colonel; while the Serrated Dagger, though possessing extraordinary effects, was not considered Mystical Item.

Let's leave those two aside for now.

In addition, he also possesses four Mystical Item: "Sunfire," "False Face," "Shadow Ring," and "Sure-Hit Revolver."

The latter three are extremely useful to Lorry, but after acquiring the "Sure-Hit Revolver," the "Sunfire" becomes dispensable.

He has preliminarily determined that "Sure-Hit Revolver" corresponds to Sequence 7 "Pyromaniac" in the "Hunter" Pathway, and has the ability to damage souls.

"Tell him that the intensity of 'Sunfire ' is equivalent to Sequence 8, but since it has almost no negative effects, the price won't be too low."

My target price is £1,000.

"Of course, if you can sell more, the excess will be yours." After saying that, Lorry added with a smile.

He then sat up straight.

Fors a sigh of relief and nodded hastily, "Okay."

Then they saw their respective needs appear on the Blackboard.

Empress Borough, at the Viscount Glaint's mansion.

Audrey, holding a glass of deep red Wine, casually walked to a long table. "Cons, it feels like it's been a long time since I've seen you."

What are you talking about?

Viscount Glaint curled his lip. "We're condemning Raven, the author who killed off the main character."

He scoffed, his expression somewhat speechless. "Audrey, if you haven't started reading ' Great Detective Sherlock ' yet, I really suggest you don't open this book."

"Its ending is truly—" The Viscount paused slightly, seemingly considering which adjective to use here.

Thank you. Although I don't plan to watch it yet, you've already given me a spoiler—yes, spoiler, that's the word, as Emperor Roselle used.

Audrey maintained her elegant posture, but couldn't help but complain inwardly.

"I think I heard Melanie say that a lot of furious readers pooled their money and put a bounty on this Great Writer?"

She feigned curiosity.

"Really?" Viscount Glaint abandoned his thought, a gloating expression on his face. "That's truly exciting news."

Cons took a sip of red wine, shrugged, and said, "Don't think about it."

"Those Bounty Hunter have no chance of succeeding."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people who had heard him all looked at the man.

"What do you mean?" Viscount Glaint asked curiously, puzzled. "Is there something unusual about this Great Writer?"

Audrey also expressed her thirst for knowledge at the right time.

Cons chuckled lightly, "Don't look at me like that, I signed a confidentiality agreement."

"Well, this Great Writer is, in a sense, my colleague. He's been making waves lately and has achieved quite a bit of Merit."

"Oh, poor Melanie." Audrey feigned surprise, mimicking Cons's less-than-ladylike shrug. "She was even planning to have someone teach him a lesson."

"Then you'd better try to persuade her," Cons said, shaking his head with a smile. "The Great Writer's superior is a remarkable Beyonder."

"I'll do my best." Audrey raised her glass and gestured to the others. "I'll go over there and chat with them."

"See you later, gentlemen." Mr. World was right; the other party did indeed have official connections—but I never expected him to be from MI9.

Well, in any case, the goal of getting Glaint to host the ball tonight has been achieved— Audrey thought to herself, smiling as she walked away to another spot.

at the same time.

Fors returned from the Washroom and asked eagerly, "Does anyone sell the Formula?"

"No," Lorry said, a hint of amusement in his voice, "But I know how to get it."

o

He slightly raised his head and looked at the second Blackboard.

Fors looked in the direction of the message and saw a request for help. "Seeking Beyonder skilled in tracking and investigation to help recover an important sum of money. Compensation is negotiable."

She looked blank, not understanding the connection between the two.

Lorry said slowly, "While you were in the Washroom, the other party, through Mr. A's Attendant, invited me to Small Room to talk and ask if I was confident in completing the task."

"His reward was the Potion Formula for the Solar High Priest, and the advance payment was the Main Ingredient of the Sequence 6 Notary's Formula."

"If I'm not mistaken, he must be Believer in the Eternal Blazing Sun."

To put it simply. "This Sun Believer's Main Ingredient for Advancement Sequence 6 was stolen by another Sun Believer, who then fled to Midseashire. He hopes we can help him retrieve it."

He turned his head, looked into Fors ' blue eyes, and chuckled softly, "You should be able to guess what it means?"
