"You said yourself that you don't mind." Watching Jodson's figure gradually disappear, Lorry shrugged with a strange smile and walked in another direction.

He planned to go to the "Golden Dream's " contact point in the Rorsted Archipelago.

After all, his current identity is the Third Mate of the "Golden Dream," "Flower Bow Tie" Jodson, the Sequence 6 "Fire Thief."

That makes sense.

About ten minutes later, Lorry arrived near the residence of Old Lynn, one of the contacts assigned by "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina.

Only then did he belatedly realize the benefits of the "Curse of Knowledge" in negotiating with Edwina about the "Mysticism Mentor" Potion.

Improving the level of the Sealed Artifact is only one aspect.

If I hadn't been so decisive and given seven thousand pounds upon first meeting, perhaps due to the "Curse of Knowledge," gaining trust wouldn't have been so easy.

At the very least, the "Vice Admiral Iceberg" wouldn't allow herself to act in private under the guise of "Flower Bow Tie" without being under her surveillance.

"Old ginger is spicier..."

Amidst a jumble of thoughts, Lorry sighed inwardly.

He quickly looked around, not wanting to rush over and alert the enemy, but instead found a dockside Inn with a good view and a clear view of the contact point.

It's still early.

Logically, the chain reaction caused by the Backlund Great Smog should not have affected this area, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the "White Agate" should arrive in the evening.

But to guard against any unforeseen circumstances, Lorry decided to play it safe.

Therefore, while on the "Golden Dream," he specifically asked Vice Admiral Iceberg for the personal belongings of the Fourth Sailor-in-Charge, Danitz.

A silver wine glass with intricate patterns, said to be an antique from the Fourth Epoch period.

Enter the room and lock the door.

Lorry sealed off the surroundings with Wall of Spirituality, then took out the "Book of Dimensions" and began to trace words on the Dark Gold pages with his blood.

He wanted to use the "Book of Dimensions '" ability to Bringing Fantasy Characters into Reality —essentially, the "Fantasy Materialization" of a "Literature Lover."

However, simulating "Fantasy Materialization" through the "Curse of Knowledge" is far less effective than directly using this Demigod- level Sealed Artifact.

Soon, the Dark Gold pages transformed into a scholarly man.

"Hello," said Mr. "Fire Thief." The man nodded politely and picked up Danitz's silver goblet from the table.

Lorry removed his scarf, Sun, and other disguises one by one, returning the courtesy:

"Thank you for your hard work," said Mr. Magician.

He had previously conducted experiments and found that due to repeated use of Potion and the consumption of the original body's soul, his Spirituality was abnormally active, much stronger than most Sequence 6. When using the "Book of Dimensions," he could at most conjure up Beyonder or extraordinary creatures with strength equivalent to Sequence 6.

However, considering that a battle might occur next, and that Danitz was a "Hunter" who did not possess the means to Anti-Divination, he did not squander his Spirituality.

Scholarly Man sat at a table, writing words on a piece of white paper:

"The whereabouts of the owner can be found in the wine glass in my hand."

After finishing writing, he put down the manifested black, round-bellied fountain pen, leaned back against the peeling paint on the chair back, tilted his head slightly, and closed his eyes.

This is Dream Divination!

In his dream, the Scholarly Man saw a massive ship with smokestacks and sails standing side by side, and rows of cannons mounted on both sides of the hull.

The enormous passenger ship cleaved through the waves, swiftly navigating the water, the sea breeze howling and the flags on the masts fluttering in the wind.

The final scene focuses on the front of the flag—where a large mahogany table is printed, piled high with translucent white jade stones.

Huff... The Scholarly Man opened his eyes and turned to look at Lorry.

Without saying a word, Lorry already knew the answer. He stopped playing the role-playing game and directly controlled the Scholarly Man to continue the divination.

"The ' White Agate ' ship arrived in Bayam this evening."

The Scholarly Man Silent Recitation his thoughts and tossed a coin.

Clang!

Head up!

This represents a positive result!

As expected, my previous intervention had limited impact... Lorry nodded to himself and instructed the Scholarly Man, "Guard the room well; I need to rest for a while."

"Go ahead." The Scholarly Man shrugged and began toying with the coin.

Lorry then closed his eyes and entered a Meditation state.

Later, this Illusions can also act as a henchman and a martyr covering the retreat. It's really a disservice to my Spirituality to dispel it after each divination.

At six o'clock in the evening, Lorry was awakened by Scholarly Man.

This was an order he had given in advance: if he saw fighting taking place in the houses across the street, he should wake himself up immediately; otherwise, the time would be six o'clock.

"They should be here soon..." Lorry glanced at the table and reminded her, "Pack the Match and prepare a few Paper Figurine." Then he headed towards the Washroom.

After resolving the issue of his bloated abdomen, he sat by another window, silently gazing at the Port and beginning to observe the docked passenger ships.

Time passed second by second.

Snap!

Lorry opened the Gold-Cased Pocket Watch and glanced at it, finding that the hour hand was pointing exactly to 15, while the "White Agate" had slowly come to a stop.

"Perfectly on time..." he muttered to himself, and began to check the Sealed Artifact on his person.

--The "Parasite" ring on her left hand, the "Calmness" ring reforged into a gold ring, the ivory white ring transformed from "Self", the "Thousand Illusions" ring with a dark cyan ring appearance, the White Bone Ring on her right hand, the "Lucky Money Bag" at her waist, the "Book of Dimensions" in her pocket, and the "Serrated Dagger" in her sleeve.

"The Sure-Hit Revolver" and "The Knight's Hand" are either in another Dimension or kept by the "Messenger" lady due to negative consequences.

"To be honest, the value of my gear is much higher than that of a Pirate Admiral," Lorry couldn't help but mutter to himself.

A short while later, his gaze shifted and he saw two figures.

Wearing a black cloak, appearing to be in his thirties, and with distinctive dark yellow eyebrows, Danitz, the Fourth Sailor-in-Charge of the "Golden Dream".

And ahead of Danitz Gehrman Sparrow, dressed in a sharp suit, wearing a silk top hat, carrying a Suitcase, and walking with a refined and leisurely gait.

Of course, Lorry knew that the latter was Klein's Pseudonym.

It has begun... he murmured softly, instantly entering another Dimension, watching the two figures separate, and Danitz circled around and appeared opposite the dock Inn.

Then he saw Danitz knock on the door.

Then he saw Danitz being stabbed in the chest with a scalpel by a man who suddenly emerged from the shadows, nearly killing him instantly.

Then he saw Danitz turn to run, but the Frost on the floor spread rapidly, and Danitz's speed was visibly slowed down.

"This lousy Hunter..." Lorry watched the scene speechlessly, saying without changing his posture, "Go help him, don't let this guy die here."

The Scholarly Man nodded slightly, then suddenly appeared on the battlefield, blocking the pursuers' path by continuously Flames and Flaming Jump.

He smiled politely at everyone and snapped his fingers.

"Bang!"

An invisible Air Bullet flew towards the man holding the scalpel in an instant.
