Xio's Unconventional Way to Make Money

As he spoke, the Formula for the "Marauder" Potion flashed through Lorry's mind:

Main Ingredient: One Blood-Spotted Black Mosquito, the core of the Candle-Eating Spirit;

"Supporting materials: 100 ml of blood from other people, nine fingernail fragments from different individuals, one sapphire, and 10 grams of verbena powder."

He has no shortage of Main Ingredient.

After this week's Tarot Club, "The Sun" repaid a large amount of his previous debts through Sacrifice ritual, enough to concoct double-digit Potion.

In the supporting materials, "blood from others" is not an issue.

The "Curse of Knowledge" only required one "Scroll Professor" Corpse to complete the analysis, leaving two more Corpse available for use here.

--Due to the loss of Spirituality, this blood will not have a negative impact.

Sapphire and verbena powder are easier to collect; they can be purchased at herbal shops and jewelry stores for a small fee.

The only tricky material was "nine nail clippings from different people".

Concocting a single dose of "Marauder's Potion" isn't much of a problem, but the more Potion have, the more difficult it becomes.

This isn't difficult; the tricky part is the hassle, the waste of energy and time.

Hugh frowned and asked, "How much do you need?"

"If each person provides ten, we'll need at least forty people." Lorry had already calculated the number while talking to Fors earlier.

"Forty people?" Hugh exhaled forcefully, glancing wistfully at the Queen Black Tea on the Tea Table, secretly glad that he had been rational enough.

She shook her head and refused:

"Find someone else; I don't want to take this case."

Before Lorry could even speak, Fors suddenly interjected:

No, you want to.

"Stop joking, Fors, you have no idea how difficult this is." Hugh looked at his friend speechlessly and explained:

"Because of church propaganda and the prevalence of pirated Newspaper, even Vagrant in the East Borough know that it is best to secretly bury or destroy their hair, nails, and blood, and not to easily hand them over to others, otherwise they may encounter curses or other bad things if they are unlucky."

"I believe he wouldn't harm anyone, but what about the provider of the nails?"

"Moreover, the quantity you need is far too large, and this kind of news is difficult to keep secret. It could easily attract unnecessary attention and cause trouble for everyone."

This is a fact, and it's also why Lorry doesn't plan to collect materials from the Face Mask Factory.

He hoped that the identity of Fitz Posner would remain relatively clean for the time being, preferably not leading others to associate him with the Beyonder.

Especially those Beyonder follow the "Marauder" Pathway.

"Two hundred pounds." Lorry considered several ways to persuade her to accept the commission, but ultimately decided to use money to break down her defenses.

"You can hire someone else to do this, and as long as you're careful, the chances of being discovered are slim. After deducting expenses, you can still make at least half the profit."

"Of course, at any time, ensuring my own safety is the priority. I'm just too lazy to spend too much energy on this, not that I can't do it."

"Fors wouldn't want anything to happen to you, and neither would I."

Hugh didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Lorry raised the price again. "Three hundred pounds."

Hugh remained silent.

Fors stared blankly at Lorry, then at Hugh, who remained silent on the Single Sofa: "Is this matter really that complicated?"

Xiu coughed lightly and scratched his head:

uuɡu. First update, no typos. You won't see the pinyin suffix in the address input. You can then access the first update site.

"I just want to see how much he'll actually offer."

Fors paused for two seconds, her chest heaving, and said irritably, "Only two hundred pounds? If you think it's too little, we'll go find someone else."

"Hugh, I haven't forgiven you for deceiving my feelings just now."

"Huh?" Xiu exclaimed, her eyes widening as she muttered, "But I've already apologized and agreed to do the housework for the Future month..."

Fors said, though his tone was neither righteous nor defiant:

Is it possible that you were the one doing these things originally?

"You..." Xiu nodded, neither laughing nor crying.

"Fine, two hundred pounds it is, I'll agree, okay? Honestly, he's already talking about 'we' after just a short time..."

"Let's keep it at three hundred pounds, after all, Hugh needs to take the risk," Lorry said with a smile, having watched the two good friends bicker with great interest.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fors rolled her eyes at him:

Are you very rich now?

Hugh was stunned, looking at Lorry with a face full of doubt:

"You're bankrupt?"

"In that case, I won't take my share." After a moment's thought, she changed her mind and said, "Give me fifty pounds, and I'll refund you if I don't use it all."

"It's not as dramatic as bankruptcy, it's just that we're about to have a large expense," Lorry explained with a wry smile.

"The Manor?" Hugh asked with interest.

Will you invite us hunting in the fall?

"Ask her about that." Lorry's gaze flickered slightly to the side. "I won't be staying in Backlund for long; I'll probably be heading back to sea soon."

"Fors will help with the arrangements; you can go with her."

Hugh immediately looked at her friend with sparkling eyes, and only stopped when the other person nodded.

She chuckled and said to Lorry, "Speaking of the sea, if you're short of money, I can point you in a direction."

"What approach?" Fors asked before he could even speak.

"Of course, it's for hunting Pirate." Hugh shook the teapot, found there was some left, took out his own cup, filled it up, and took a couple of sips.

"When I was in Pritz Harbor, I heard about a Great Pirate called ' Flower Bow Tie,' whose Bounty on our side alone is a full 15,000 pounds!"

"If you can take him down, the Military Bounty plus the spoils will easily earn you twenty or thirty thousand pounds, and you'll also make a name for yourself, with high-priced commissions pouring in."

"Twenty or thirty thousand pounds, who do you think you are... Besides, your methods are a bit too audacious, making me kill myself?" Lorry thought to himself, speechless.

That's right, don't point like that next time...

"Oh, it's him. I've heard of him too. He's definitely a formidable Great Pirate." Fors recalled the descriptions of "The Hanged Man" and "The World" and casually shared, "Rumor has it that this ' Flower Bow Tie ' was causing trouble everywhere recently, and there were even rumors that he single-handedly took down an entire ship of Pirate."

After saying that, she patted Lorry's arm. "These sea creatures are dangerous. Don't listen to Hugh's bad ideas, you hear me?"

"What a terrible idea... Many adventurers make a living by hunting Pirate..." Hugh muttered under his breath, clearly dissatisfied with his friend's assessment.

"For example, there was another guy known as the Crazy Adventurer, who apparently killed a notorious Pirate and got Bounty of several thousand pounds."

"I heard he has a possible business relationship with that ' Flower Bow Tie ' girl."

"Um... I have something to tell you guys..." Lorry coughed lightly, interrupting Hugh's description, and said rather Awkwardness:

"Actually, I am what you call ' Flower Bow Tie '."
