"Mr. Raven, a well-known writer, commissioned this newspaper to issue a statement:

"The previous report about "Young Roselle"Volume Two was not published by me. This news was confirmed by the staff of "Backlund Daily".

"It is reported that Mr. Raven has actually completed the creation of Volume Two, but due to death threats from Roselle's fanatical admirers, he had to suspend the publishing plan. He himself said that he felt deeply guilty to the readers, so he decided to muster the courage to tell everyone about Truth.

"In addition, Mr. Raven's new book "Great Detective Sherlock"Volume Two is on sale today and can be purchased at the following locations..."

Lorry put down his fork, wiped the corners of his mouth, took a sip Black Tea, and gave Newspaper some pointers. "It's barely okay. Half truths and half lies are the easiest to believe."

Since early in the morning, he had been feeling the feedback of Potion's digestion one after another, and he couldn't help but look forward to how much he could digest this time.

Suddenly, a continuous crackling sound sounded.

Lorry was slightly startled, and with a wry smile, he took out the broken Charm from his pocket and threw it into the trash can. He looked up at White Bone Ring on the brown desk not far away.

"Old Gentleman, this is not the way to go..." He looked depressed, obviously the same thing had happened to him in the past two days.

The old voice is full of schadenfreude:

"Why didn't you consider the consequences when you got into trouble?

"On the plus side, under such high pressure, at least you have mastered the production skills of Anti-Divination Charm and do not need guidance like Oldest One."

Hearing this, Lorry couldn't help but slander:

How can I be unskilled? I have spent more than a hundred pounds on materials in the past two days!

"I have a good method that will work immediately. Do you want to hear it?" The old voice paused for a moment and asked with a chuckle.

Lorry felt that the other party's laughter was a bit malicious and said angrily, "As long as it doesn't make me give up, "Knight's Hand", just listen."

In his opinion, this is the biggest gain of his Capim Villa team.

Sequence 5 level Sealed Artifact is not cheap. Take "Death Knell" of Original Novel and later Klein as an example, the price is 9,000 pounds.

This is still a friendly price!

"Knight's Hand" is no worse than "Death Knell".

And it can be crushed to Albert Advancement Sequence 5 in the future.

Lorry I would rather go out with a pocket full of Anti-Divination Charm every day than give up this powerful Sealed Artifact.

The old voice chuckled:

"Then there is no other way. You should be able to guess that the reason why you were divined is that the main Mysticism connection comes from this Sealed Artifact."

After that, White Bone Ring floated towards Albert who was sleeping in the corner.

Lorry shamelessly stopped it:

"Ahem, Old Gentleman, I mean... do you know some more advanced Charm that can Anti-Divination?"

White Bone Ring showed his complete facial features, rolled his eyes and said:

"What's the use of knowing it? You can't offer equivalent knowledge in exchange, and even if you exchange this knowledge, you can't use it."

"Vera is no good, just having strength is useless." It seemed to have guessed what Lorry was going to ask next, and blocked the conversation in advance.

Lorry frowned slightly and said thoughtfully:

"Must be the pious Believer of "God of Knowledge and Wisdom"?"

The old voice did not refute, and accepted Lorry's guess.

It was silent for a few seconds and comforted:

"Don't worry, it's just a while.

"They will give up sooner or later if their fortune-telling fails to produce results."

"What if they repeatedly failed in divination, guessed that someone was using Anti-Divination means to intervene, and refused to give up?" Lorry asked.

"The divination failed? Do you think too highly of them?" the old voice sneered:

"It seems that you still don't understand the sentence "knowledge is power" thoroughly enough. Have you forgotten my belief?

"The Anti-Divination Charm I taught you is essentially to borrow the power of God to simulate the ability of "Mystery Pryer"Pathway High Sequence.

"If there is no equivalent person, you will only be misled into seemingly ordinary results."

Lorry frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

The description of "Curse of Knowledge" reminded him of Card of Blasphemy produced by Emperor Roselle - who was once a "Knowledge Emperor".

"What will happen if the level is high enough?" Lorry asked again.

"That can indeed lead to a failed divination instead of being misled."

The old voice changed the subject. "But as long as Anti-Divination Charm still exists in you, he will never be able to divine your information."

"Theoretically, if you carry unlimited Anti-Divination Charm, even God cannot find you through divination."

"Because..."

"Knowledge can bring power, and power can give knowledge."

It was silent for a few seconds and continued:

"Let's see again. If your situation doesn't get better, you can pay the price again and learn another Ritual Magic from me.

"It can completely solve your problem."

"Okay." Lorry nodded gently and put White Bone Ring on his finger, "Old Gentleman, I need to go out today."

"Go out?" The old voice hesitated slightly, "Then wait."

As he spoke, it lit up.

Albert woke up from the dream with a howl.

"Curse of Knowledge" said in a deep voice:

"How do you think about the weekend if your progress is so slow? Pages 50 to 100 are your homework today. You must learn them all before I come back. Then you will have Exam."

Albert's anxious expression gradually became dull, and he lowered his head:

"Woof..."

Within the area included by the intersection of East Borough, Firemill Street and Valen Street.

Lorry used "Thousand Illusions" to transform into a down-and-out middle-aged man, wearing a half-used clothes found by Ceramics Factory, and walking slowly on the street.

He pretended to be an unemployed worker and sat dejectedly on the Public Bench by the roadside.

Unemployment is fake, but depression is not.

Because Lorry is really worried about how to find Altair.

East Borough is too big!

The population is at least over half a million and is very mobile.

Without the help of Private Detective, Bounty Hunter or well-informed people, trying to find someone here is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But he doesn't want to implicate innocent people and indirectly destroy other people's families.

While I was thinking hard, time passed quickly.

Suddenly Lorry felt something in his heart, someone not far away was looking at him.

He pretended not to notice and continued to sigh.

After a while, the man came over:

"Lost your job?"

Lorry nodded blankly. "You too?"

The visitor sighed and said angrily, "It's not because of those greedy Vampire! They said that I am old and my health is not as good as that of young people."

"Sooner or later I will let them know how strong I am!"

Lorry laughed twice and said nothing.

He gently rubbed White Bone Ring and turned on "Mind Reading".

Red and dark colors account for the majority... Dark colors represent sadness, perhaps related to unemployment, but red represents the person's current excitement and excitement.

How can two completely opposite emotions appear in the same person?

At this time, someone came and patted him on the shoulder:

"Brother, we can't go on like this. We don't even strive for a living space for ourselves. How can we expect those rich people and noble lords?

"If you want to change your life, come with me!"
