The Golden Dream
"Why didn't you say so earlier? I took out a lot of advance payment today." Hugh rolled his eyes unhappily and put the Newspaper on the Tea Table table.
Lorry chuckled, "Hey, I didn't say I'd deduct from your pay."
"How can that be the same? How can I take that kind of money? I'm not Fors," Hugh muttered. "Give me 15 pounds, no, 10 pounds will do."
"Can you guys keep me out of your argument...?" Fors complained.
Of course, judging from her voice, she didn't seem very confident.
Xiu pursed her lips and ignored her.
"Well then, it's up to you. If you want to continue, then continue. You'll need it later anyway," Lorry said after thinking for a moment.
As I said before, this is not a big deal. If he weren't lazy and wasting time and energy, he could come up with seven or eight solutions in no time.
The simplest and most direct way is to go to any apartment building in the East Borough, simulate the abilities of a "Hypnotist," and you can get it done in two or three nights.
Or they could change their tune and visit one or more Gang leaders late at night.
If you were at sea or on the Southern Continent, you could find a village inhabited by indigenous people from a colony, throw some money there, and you could probably accomplish the same thing.
However, considering that we are currently in Backlund and that using Sealed Artifact incurs hidden costs such as Spirituality, time, and energy, paying money to resolve the matter is undoubtedly the most worry-free option.
Of course, finding a reason to give pocket money to a non-biological daughter is also one of the reasons.
Amidst a flurry of thoughts, Lorry suddenly had a very daring idea:
It's just that I don't have enough clones. If I had a world full of Parasitism hosts like Amon, I could just have them trim their nails...
Wednesday morning.
After taking Albert out for a walk and placing the Breakfast he had bought along the way on the table, Lorry quickly Teleportation to the Posner Face Mask Factory.
After leaving a letter on Joe's desk, he simulated "Teleportation" again.
Thousands of miles away, in the Berserk Sea seas near Graggs Island.
A clean and tidy sailboat, several tens of meters long, reflecting a golden hue in the sunlight, was quietly moored, seemingly waiting for something.
Not long after, a simple fishing boat approached.
Once it entered a certain area, the golden sailboat lowered a small boat and brought the two people on the fishing boat onto the deck.
Meanwhile, using the senses he had established earlier, Lorry successfully located the "Golden Dream" in the Spirit World and appeared in the room belonging to the Third Mate.
--This is because before he left last time, he deliberately left a Charm, so that he could only Teleportation to the captain's cabin of "Vice Admiral Iceberg".
Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, it's bound to get Awkwardness.
After carefully reviewing the information provided by "Vice Admiral Iceberg" in his mind, Lorry pushed open the hatch, intending to meet with the other party.
I'd say hello as I passed by, casually inquire about the progress of the "Mysticism Mentor's " Potion, then regain my Spirituality and continue my "Teleportation" journey.
Good morning, Third Mate.
Along the way, Sailor would greet Lorry from time to time.
He nodded slightly in response, mimicking the manner of a real "Flower Bow Tie" Jodson, and randomly picked a Sailor to ask, "Have you seen the captain?"
"She just went to the deck to greet a guest," the young man dressed as Sailor thought for a moment. "She should be in the Restaurant now, right?"
"Guest? Klein?" Thinking this, Lorry nodded, went up the stairs to the second floor, and stood at the entrance of the Pirate Restaurant, looking around.
Soon, he saw "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina carrying a tray, and just as he was about to go over, the Great Pirate "Flames" Danitz walked in.
"Whoosh--"
uuɡu. First update, no typos. You won't see the pinyin suffix in the address input. You can then access the first update site.
Lorry whistled at the other man. "Where's my five thousand pounds?" he said, scanning him up and down with the look of someone assessing the value of the goods.
"Dogshit... "Danitz muttered under his breath, then chuckled dryly.
"It's already been given to the captain."
"Hmm." Lorry nodded casually and walked towards "Vice Admiral Iceberg".
The two Pirate beside him immediately looked at Danitz strangely. One of them had a very dark complexion, as if covered by a layer of Tinplate, and the other had a rather thick waist. Although he wasn't fat overall, he lacked any definition. They were the other two Sailor Chief of the "Golden Dream," "Tinplate" and "Bucket."
"What are you looking at?" Danitz asked irritably.
Faced with a companion whose Bounty was lower than his own, he did not hesitate to strike hard.
"Danitz, Dogshit..." both Sailor Chief cursed inwardly at the same time.
"You didn't treat Jodson like this before. Why do you act like a mouse seeing a cat when you see him now?" "Tinplate" retorted.
"You think I'm afraid of him?" Danitz unconsciously raised his voice, just in time to meet Lorry's gaze, and instantly gave an embarrassed look.
"Haha!" Upon seeing this, "Tinplate" and "Bucket" burst into laughter without any restraint, attracting the attention of many Pirate.
Despite knowing that most of the Pirate were unaware of the inside story, Danitz still blushed.
He glared at his two mischievous friends, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he strode towards the Crazy Adventurer Gehrman, who was carrying a plate and selecting food.
"Look at that piece of Dogshit poop, acting all high and mighty like he's so great."
Klein glanced back at Danitz, who was approaching, then his gaze swept over the two Pirate behind him, finally settling near "Vice Admiral Iceberg".
He suddenly remembered Danitz's leak, and a thought struck him, so he said:
You all like her, don't you?
After saying that, he immediately followed up with another blow:
"But in my opinion, Jodson has a much better chance than you. At least he is very strong and is Great Pirate with Bounty second only to your captain."
"Perhaps we will witness the birth of the eighth Pirate Admiral."
Klein glanced at the stunned Danitz and his two companions out of the corner of his eye, then cheerfully carried his plate toward the captain's dining room.
Serves you right... for being so cheeky...
Thinking this, he nodded slightly to Lorry.
Nodding in response to Klein's greeting, Lorry asked in a low voice:
"How much longer?"
"Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina said calmly as she picked up the food she wanted to eat, "This matter is not as simple as you think."
"Sequence 5 Beyonder are considered to be in the upper echelons of any faction."
"If the teacher is willing to expose himself and treat himself as a research subject, it's not impossible to obtain Potion of High Sequence than Sequence 5."
"But if we follow the normal application process, we'll just have to wait. If I had to guess, it would take at least another one to two weeks."
After answering the question, she changed the subject. "I'm about to organize an expedition."
Lorry understood what "Vice Admiral Iceberg" wanted to say, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said:
"Before the week after next."
Edwina hummed in agreement.
"I'll try to urge them on, but I can't guarantee it will be effective."
She glanced at the sudden commotion not far away, frowned slightly, and then politely asked, "Would you like to have Breakfast together? Gehrman Sparrow is here too."
"No, thank you." Lorry shook his head. "I still have to go to the Southern Continent."
"The Southern Continent..." Edwina opened her mouth slightly, her eyes inevitably revealing envy. After a few seconds of silence, she said softly:
"I'm waiting for you to come aboard the ' Golden Dream.' I hope to borrow that Sealed Artifact to research the ' Teleportation ' Charm. You can consider the reward in advance."
