Visiting Leonard (Three-in-One)

"I would have done it even without you telling me."

Lorry answered earnestly, and as he handed the thick stack of banknotes to the "Vice Admiral Iceberg," the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Others spend money like water, but for me it's like a waterfall...

Fifteen thousand pounds! This huge sum of money barely warmed up in the "Lucky Money Bag"... and soon most of the remaining amount will be spent...

He felt quite melancholy, and his desire to hunt Pirate grew stronger.

Suddenly, a pure white hand appeared before him. In the palm of Lorry hand lay a translucent Charm, about the size of a fingernail, shimmering with a yellowish-black hue.

"This is..." He stared in astonishment at the captain.

Edwina said softly:

"Professor Sebastian said that this was the reason you came to me."

Lorry was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

This is an advanced Anti-Divination Charm created by "Vice Admiral Iceberg" in response to a prayer to the God of Knowledge and Wisdom!

With it, I can save a lot of money on this kind of expense.

Seeing him about to speak, Edwina shook her head as if Soothsayer:

"For me, the cost of making it was not high."

"This Anti-Divination Charm is free; consider it a gift from that big transaction we just made. Hmm... it can last for another three months at most."

"If you need it later, you can contact me. It's three hundred pounds a piece."

Having said that, Lorry, who was short of money, no longer refused.

However, he didn't intend to be indebted to others for no reason, and planned to bring some tree trunks and bark from the Elder Tree with him before his next visit.

They are excellent materials in the fields of making Charm and performing rituals.

"Vice Admiral Iceberg" should like this return gift.

Without dwelling on such trivial matters, Lorry quickly got to the important matter: when would the Third Mate "Flower Bow Tie" Jodson's vacation begin?

Edwina thought for a moment, then threw the question back at her:

How long do you need to prepare?

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be no more than three days." The "unforeseen circumstances" that Lorry referred to meant Leonard wasn't home, after all, he was a member of "Red Gloves."

"Three days..." Edwina unfolded a finely crafted sheepskin map and quickly scribbled a few lines with her still-capped pen.

Then, she put down her pen and looked at Lorry:

"The wind has been strong lately, so the Golden Dream is sailing much faster than usual, which is why I was able to arrive near Damir Port a few days earlier than usual."

"In three days, the ' Golden Dream ' should be able to reach the waters near the ' City of Generosity.' I'll give you an address then..."

Bayam, the "City of Generosity"... Lorry politely shook his head and smiled.

"Unnecessary."

As he spoke, he took out a black, transparent Charm from his pocket and placed it on the table where the map was spread out, under the puzzled gaze of "Vice Admiral Iceberg".

"I can ' Teleportation ' back directly, as long as you don't throw it into the vast ocean, ma'am," Lorry explained with a chuckle.

"Teleportation..." Edwina murmured, her eyes filled with envy.

This made Lorry quite worried about Fors's future situation.

Whether they're members of a legitimate church or Concealment organization, who wouldn't be eager to find a "Scribe" or "Traveler" and try their luck?

He felt that the twenty-two Paths of the Divine should be renamed, for example, "Apprentice" and their twenty-one opposing Pathway.

While subtly teasing the "Apprentice," Lorry Rui politely nodded to "Vice Admiral Iceberg," his figure rapidly becoming transparent and ethereal under her gaze.

A moment later, a soft sigh and a regretful whisper echoed from the captain's cabin.

"If only we could 'simulate' Teleportation..." Now all alone, "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina Edwards puffed out her cheeks, then turned and couldn't help but chuckle at her own thought, a slight smile curving her lips upwards.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door.

Edwina Edwards's face instantly went expressionless, as if everything that had just happened was nothing but an illusion, and she spoke in a cold voice:

"Enter!"

A man dressed as Sailor, though not fat overall, with a rather thick waist, walked in.

Edwina glanced at her Sailor Chief "Bucket" Daniels:

"What's up?"

"No, it's nothing serious." After secretly glancing around to make sure no one else was there, Sailor Chief "Bucket" Daniels breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just wanted to ask, should we prepare a room for that person?"

"No need, he's already left," Edwina said expressionlessly. "Also, have Jodson come over."

He left? When did he leave? Sailor Chief "Bucket" Daniels strode outside, seemingly uninterested in the answer.

Thump!

The captain's cabin door closed.

Seven or eight figures suddenly emerged from the darkness.

Sailor Chief "Bucket" Daniels puffed out his belly like a victorious general returning home, and said in a low voice, "They're all gone."

"They've left?"

Everyone looked bewildered.

They've been keeping an eye on the captain's cabin, so why haven't they seen anyone leave?

"Who cares which way they went, as long as they're gone." Under the Gas Lamp, a good-looking man with blond hair expressed his opinion.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone echoed his sentiments.

Sailor Chief "Bucket" Daniels glanced expressionlessly at the blond man who had spoken. "The captain wants you to go in and find her."

Whoosh!

The figures who had been arm in arm with the blond man instantly jumped to the side, exchanged glances, and then tacitly raised their middle fingers at his back.

A deserted little island.

Lorry's figure was quickly outlined in the darkness.

He pulled the "Book of Dimensions" out of his pocket, bit his finger, and quickly wrote on a blank page before tearing it off and throwing it forward.

The Dark Gold pages quickly transformed into a scholarly young man dressed in a black suit, wearing a top silk hat, and Gold-Rimmed Glasses.

He took out Yellow Crystal from his pocket and Silent Recitation recited the divination phrase:

Leonard Mitchell in Backlund.

After seven times.

The Yellow Crystal hung straight down, without moving an inch.

"Divination failed?"

"Tsk, having a personal grandpa is quite something."

Lorry muttered to himself, undeterred, he regained control of the imagined "Magician" divination, making simple adjustments to the divination statements:

"I can buy what I want if I go back to Backlund today."

The Yellow Crystal jolted violently and began to swing clockwise dramatically.

Snap!

Lorry snapped his fingers in satisfaction, and the "Magician" disappeared.

He found a sheltered place to rest for a while, and after his Spirituality had partially recovered, he stroked the White Bone Ring again, and his figure transformed into an illusion and entered the Spirit World.

8 PM.

7 Pince Street, North Borough Backlund.

Ring ring--

Lorry glanced at the light inside, rang the Doorbell, and waited patiently.

Almost a minute later, he heard footsteps inside, followed shortly by a lazy voice. "Who is it? What's up so late?"
