"Hypnosis Pocket Watch"
After Hugh left, Gallows Sauron Lorry picked up the empty glass, walked to the table, and refilled it with the pale blue liquid.
"Get some kerosene."
"Yes." The elderly man in the tuxedo nodded immediately and quickly left the Living Room.
Glancing at the other person's retreating figure out of the corner of his eye, Gallows Sauron Lorry gently stroked his Gold-Cased Pocket Watch, a smile playing on his lips, and murmured to himself:
"When luck comes, there's no stopping it. I never expected there to be extra loot—a Sealed Artifact crafted using the ' Hypnotist ' trait."
A scene naturally appeared in his mind: Gallows Sauron standing with his body slightly bowed, humbly listening to the teachings of an old man with red hair.
Its name is "Hypnosis Pocket Watch," and it can create a layer of "dragon scales" on your skin, greatly resisting and reducing damage.
"In addition, it allows you to use ' Hypnosis ' and ' Psychological Invisibility '."
"Hypnosis" is an advanced form of "Psychological Suggestion." It exerts influence by attracting the target's attention and opening the door to their "Mental Body."
"However, it is important to avoid discussing things that the target values, such as life itself, as this can easily trigger subconscious resistance and lead to Hypnosis failure."
"If the target is mentally strong and has a firm will, they can resist Hypnosis to some extent."
"Psychological Invisibility": This refers to using other people's psychological blind spots to hide oneself, reducing the attention one receives, and achieving a similar effect to Invisibility.
"But this doesn't mean you truly disappear; it means you appear right in front of your target, yet they can't see you."
"One thing to be careful about is minimizing interaction with the outside world, such as speaking, otherwise you might attract the target's attention."
There are two negative effects:
"First, when carrying it, your emotions are easily amplified, so you need to constantly remind yourself to avoid being negatively affected by your emotions."
"Second, use the ability of ' Psychological Invisibility ' with caution, otherwise you will inevitably make your presence less and less noticeable."
"This is an irreversible negative effect. Once, a family member abused this ability, causing himself to become completely 'invisible.' His wife was having an affair in front of him. She could hear his voice but couldn't see him. Thinking it was a supernatural event, she and her lover indiscriminately attacked everything in the Bedroom and accidentally killed him."
"According to the research of our ancestors, using it less than ten times is considered a safe range with virtually no impact, and each owner should not use it more than twenty times."
Therefore, when you have used "Psychological Invisibility" nearly ten times, return this Sealed Artifact and apply for another one.
"Did you remember?"
As the image faded, Gallows Sauron Lorry couldn't help but sigh:
"As expected of an ancient Angel family, they have so many good things... No wonder the owner of this body didn't want to return it."
He knew from Gallows Sauron's memories that the other party had used "Psychological Invisibility" more than ten times, but had not kept the original agreement.
This Sealed Artifact isn't of much help to me, and Fors doesn't seem to need it either... It seems Miss "Justice's" Beyonder Characteristic has found a purpose...
Or maybe Albert could give it to Susie? Who knows, he might just win a beautiful dog, hehe...
Gallows Sauron Lorry thought mischievously that he planned to inquire about "Justice" Audrey's purchasing intentions through Fors next week.
If you want it, you can sell it to her first.
No, go find "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina yourself to promote it.
Good things never have trouble selling.
Thinking of this, he remembered something else:
Audrey's purpose in purchasing this Sealed Artifact must be for its Beyonder Characteristic, and Klein doesn't seem to have mastered the method to destroy it yet.
Therefore, the transaction of the "Hypnosis Pocket Watch" appears to be one transaction, but it is actually two transactions.
How about a paid shredding service? Gallows Sauron Lorry sipped his drink with a smile and began to examine his other acquisitions.
First, there were two "Hunter" Beyonder Characteristic, which were better than nothing, and he planned to ask "Vice Admiral Iceberg" about them when he had the chance.
Her ship is certainly not lacking in ordinary people who aspire to be Beyonder.
Then there's Gallows Sauron's Beyonder Characteristic; he's Sequence 6 "The Conspirer," and that trait is worth about three or four thousand pounds.
All in all, the haul came to around ten thousand pounds... Gallows Sauron Lorry made a quick estimate and took another sip of wine with a satisfied smile.
In this way, my depleted wallet will become much fuller again.
Half a minute later, he glanced irritably at the cup he had just put down less than ten seconds ago, which he had then unconsciously picked up again, and gave a speechless laugh:
"Fine, anyway, once the main body finishes dealing with matters in the Southern Continent, you drunkard will be dead by then. Consider this a farewell drink for you."
At this moment, the old man in the tuxedo returned carrying a bucket of kerosene.
Gallows Sauron Lorry ordered him to sprinkle the Living Room with water and set it on fire before quickly leaving with his Hypnosis and incredibly loyal servant.
"Find a small Inn for the night, then take the Steam Train to Pritz Harbor at dawn."
"Yes." The elderly man in the tuxedo nodded and obediently went to the front desk to check in.
A moment later, Gallows Sauron Lorry, bathed in the evening breeze, fell into deep thought.
After this incident, the Percival Family's crisis was basically eliminated, leaving only one potential dangerous enemy hiding in Intis.
At this stage, I certainly don't dare to go to a foreign country and kill someone on the territory of an Angel family, but that doesn't mean I don't have a way to deal with this illegitimate child.
The reason the old man in the tuxedo has lived this long is because of this consideration.
In addition, Gallows Sauron cannot die in Backlund; he needs to disguise himself, otherwise it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Also, remind him that the Kleinsoron family is about to send a group of members to Backlund; he should know what that means."
"But there's no rush. We can talk about it at next week's Tarot Club." With that thought, Gallows Sauron Lorry raised his glass and took a sip of his drink.
Meanwhile, in the Southern Continent.
In a café opposite 101 Bairang Avenue in Alese City, Lorry quietly watched the figure of a middle-aged man through the floor-to-ceiling window.
He looked to be in his forties or fifties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and regular features. He was wearing loose-fitting pleated trousers and a linen shirt, which were very characteristic of the local style.
At this moment, the man seemed to be arguing with a local woman in her thirties across from him, his slightly curly brown hair swaying back and forth near his shoulders with the vigorous movements.
"Are you confident?" Pali Beria Lorry, dressed in a long black dress, took a sip of coffee, leaned forward, and asked in a low voice.
A captivating fragrance lingered in the air. Lorry leaned back in his chair without making a sound, averting his gaze and shaking his head slightly.
They look somewhat alike.
"But whether that's true or not, we'll have to wait and see the results of the divination."
As he spoke, he took out a long, slightly curly brown hair from his pocket—something he had secretly taken the night before when he had his arm around Fors's shoulder.
