In the quiet Gray Fog, there is only the sound of Fors.

She quickly introduced "False Face", "Sunfire" and "Immortal Shield" one by one.

The latter is the name of the huge broadsword "Giant".

It can be used as a weapon or as a trumpet shield. It can withstand the attack of Sequence 7 before the energy contained in it is exhausted.

Of course, these are all commissioned by Lorry to be sold here by Fors.

"Justice"Audrey looked at Mr. "World" thoughtfully, and then returned his gaze to the hazy light and shadow of "Magician":

"I remember that Mr. World asked for similar items last week."

"Yes." Fors did not hide it, and said calmly, "Mr. "World" found a more suitable Sealed Artifact, so he did not buy "Sunfire"."

She actually knew the relevant information at Constant City, but because she couldn't explain the reason, she hadn't told Lorry until now.

"Justice"Audrey nodded slightly, looked around and realized something.

Mr. "Hanged Man" prepares Advancement "Wind-blessed". Mr. "World" has a similar item, but Mr. "Sun" does not need it. Fors also does not need it, so no one competes with me for "Sunfire".

After thinking about it, she smiled and said:

"I think "Sunfire" is good. How much do you plan to sell it for?"

Fors remembered Lorry's promise that "anything over 1,000 pounds belongs to you", so he muttered and quoted a tentative price:

"1,200 pounds?"

"Justice" Audrey said without hesitation:

"Deal!"

Although my finances are not well-off, I can still make it by squeezing. After all, the negative effects of "Sunfire" are really very small, as long as I keep in touch with gold...

The most indispensable thing in my home is Accessory made of various golds... Come on Audrey, you will be able to deal with the ghosts in Horror Novel soon...

Thinking so, she quickly added:

"When I finish raising the money, I will immediately request Mr. "Fool"Sacrifice."

If I had known that Miss "Justice" was so willing to bid, I should have quoted a higher price... Fors felt a hint of annoyance in his heart.

Wait, her temperament is a bit familiar...

She glanced at "Justice" next to her suspiciously, feeling that there was a certain degree of overlap between the other person and a certain figure in her mind.

How could Miss Audrey be Beyonder...Fors shook his head, shook off this unreliable idea, and looked at the others expectantly.

After a few minutes, she laughed dryly:

"I have no more needs."

"False Face" had no interest, while "Immortal Shield" was bought by "Sun".

Of course, it is still in the form of arrears.

However, based on the other party's hesitation, Fors guessed that he might not intend to use it for himself, but was planning to act as a middleman and sell it to others at a higher price.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel emotional again.

Middlemen do make money.

I just made a simple flip and made a full two hundred Pound!

The meeting proceeds as normal.

Soon, it was time for free communication.

After Mr. "Fool" finished speaking, "Justice" and "Audrey" couldn't wait to speak, "Miss Magician, Sequence 7 should already belong to Mid-Sequence, right? I, or everyone, should be fine. How did you do so many things in a week?"

"If it's convenient, I'd like to hear what you have to say."

"Of course, you don't have to say anything that involves privacy or inconvenience. If you don't want to share it for free, I can also pay the price."

"Ahem, there's no need to pay..." Fors laughed dryly and began to try to recall what happened this time. After a few breaths, he slowly spoke:

"Sequence's level is not the only criterion for victory or defeat, and it is not completely impossible for Low Sequence to kill High Sequence.

"The important thing is to use your brain and find your own suitable position..."

As she spoke, she added silently in her mind:

"For example, I am Bait."

With this thought flashing through his mind, Fors, feeling guilty, subconsciously observed the others and found that they were all quietly listening to his story.

--Including Bronze Long Table and Mr. "Fool" at the top.

God would also be interested in the battle between Low Sequence Beyonder? No, he should just find it interesting. Thinking like this, Fors continued talking even harder.

Independent offices of Ceramics Factory and Factory Manager.

Lorry After listening to Qiao's report on last week's work, he nodded with satisfaction:

"Now that New Robot has been bought back, let's start working on it. Increase the remuneration for Female Workers, who learns faster, and let them teach others as soon as possible."

After speaking, he asked again:

"By the way, does the factory still have enough money?"

Joe shook his head without hesitation:

"No need for the time being.

"The money from selling old equipment has not been used up yet, and it will be enough to last for a while.

"Before we purchase raw materials in large quantities and increase the production scale, you do not need to spend additional money to subsidize the expenses of Factory."

"Very good." Lorry nodded lightly, "Did anything else happen?"

Qiao lowered his head and thought for a moment and said:

"Yesterday, a reporter, wearing Private Detective to protect himself, stepped on a box to peek into the workshop, and was caught by Albert.

"They also found a East Borough person to lead the way. I happened to know him, and they did not steal anything, so I did not notify Police."

Reporter, Detective? This group... can't be Klein and the others, right?

Lorry was moved in his heart and asked:

"Have you seen their ID?"

"I've seen it." Qiao nodded and said, "The reporter's name is Mike, a reporter for "Daily Observer", and Detective calls himself Moriarty."

It's really them...

Lorry waved his hand indifferently:

"Okay, let's leave this matter as it is. Anyway, I have never treated my employees harshly, and I don't have to worry about their exposure."

After saying that, he took out a letter from the drawer and handed it to Joe across from the brown desk, indicating with his eyes that he could open it here and read it.

Quickly browsing the content, Qiao was slightly stunned:

"Mr. reporter, are you on vacation?"

"Yes, I personally delivered Steam Train yesterday. Since I didn't have time to make an appointment with you in advance, he asked me to help deliver the letter."

Lorry opened his eyes and lied. "In addition, he also verbally asked me to take care of the Informant who was trying to find information for him, his name is Ke..."

"Kohler?" Joe helped complete the name.

"Yes, Kohler." Lorry smiled and said, "Hurry up and finish Factory's affairs, and then arrange a position for him."

"Go back and let Albert stay with me for a while."

"I would like to thank you and the reporter for your kindness on his behalf." Qiao did not hide the joy in his eyes and planned to convey the good news to Old Kohler after get off work today.

The last time he received a letter from the reporter, he hoped that someone could help investigate some information near Black Palm Street, so he entrusted the matter to Old Kohler.

He knows where to find each other.

Watching Joe leave, Lorry sighed with relief.

I finally took the "reporter" Pseudonym offline, and I no longer have to worry about accidentally saying the wrong thing when dealing with Qiao.

Well... Mr. "Reporter" is about to die in a Horror Shipwreck.

As he thought, he raised the corners of his mouth in pleasure, took out pen and paper from the drawer, and prepared to continue the scam that was only half completed.

However, at this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded in my mind.
