Bayam, the Port the "City of Generosity".

As Danitz watched Helene Suitcase with her suitcase, he noticed the gaze of the Crazy Adventurer and immediately suppressed his smile, revealing a serious expression.

He stared in disbelief at his companion who had changed his appearance without hesitation.

"Um..." Danitz hesitated for a moment, then said softly:

Actually, I think you don't need to compare yourself to that pile of Dogshit.

Although the "Blackthorn" was also renowned, it was undoubtedly worlds apart from the "Black Death," which had a "Vice Admiral of Ailment."

"This is really too dangerous. Don't you want to reconsider?"

"You incompetent Hunter, shut your mouth if you can't speak properly. Who's comparing themselves to others?" Klein's eye twitched slightly, feeling mocked.

He gave the other person a cold glance and said in a completely indifferent tone:

My only goal is the Bounty.

Under that gaze, Danitz felt a chill run down his spine, almost thinking that he was about to be turned into Bounty by this Lunatic.

He dared not say another word and quickly cracked the whip to start the carriage.

Around noon, Backlund.

The house rented by two women in the Cherwood Borough.

"That Hugh, not only did he not come back at noon, but he also borrowed Albert as a helper, really..." Fors muttered as he Trembling from the cold, Door Opening with his key and entering the room where the fireplace had been burning all morning. He immediately felt alive again.

She changed into her plush slippers, picked up her groceries, and walked toward the Sofa area. Suddenly, her eyes lit up when she saw a figure on the Long Sofa.

Fors's lips curled into a slight smile. She quickened her pace instinctively, placed her things on the Tea Table, and sat down in the middle of the Long Sofa. "Did things go smoothly?"

"Let's eat first," Lorry smiled. "I'll tell you the story later."

"Hmm." Fors nodded.

She stayed in bed for most of the morning until she could no longer bear the hunger and was forced to take out her thick coat to go out and find something to eat.

If she were alone at home, she believes that the moment she sat down on the Sofa, she would start wolfing down her food.

But now...

Fors glanced at the person beside her out of the corner of her eye, then ladylike nibbled on her food.

So she ate her Desi Pie slowly for seven or eight minutes, then went to the Washroom to wash her hands and sat back down on the Long Sofa.

Seeing the woman looking at him with curiosity, Lorry carefully chose his words and slowly began to speak:

"The place I went to yesterday was actually the Southern Continent."

The Southern Continent... Upon hearing this word, Fors's expression froze for a moment, and he frowned almost imperceptibly.

She had absolutely no liking for this place; in fact, one could say she loathed it.

Noticing the woman's subtle change in expression, Lorry sighed silently to himself and continued, "I met a man named Falken Wall."

After saying that, Fors pursed her lips tightly and remained silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, she turned her head, rolled her eyes, and asked in a mix of annoyance and amusement:

"Is it really just a simple meeting? Are you planning to deny that you were inquiring about my past not to confirm something?"

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Lorry chuckled as he glanced at the bright and intelligent girl. He didn't hide anything, recounting everything from how a friend had accidentally seen Sir Wall's advertisement in the Newspaper, to how he used his ability to simulate "Nightmare" to Dream Infiltration and communicate with the other person, and how he used divination to confirm their father-daughter relationship.

After speaking, he paused for two or three seconds and asked, "Judging from what you said that day, it seems you had no idea this money existed?"

Fors kept her head down for several minutes without speaking. When she looked up again, Lorry noticed that her eyes were slightly red, and then he heard her say:

"That bank account belonged to my mother. Because of her serious illness before she passed away, she withdrew all the money in it early on, leaving not a single penny."

"I haven't gone to the bank to cancel the account in order to remember her."

"After I became an adult, I started using my own account, and even when I went to the bank, I wouldn't specifically ask, so how could I possibly know?"

Fors fell into a brief silence, then changed the subject. "Is it true that he attempted suicide several times out of guilt and self-blame?"

Without hesitation, Lorry answered:

"Guided by dreams, ordinary people find it difficult to lie."

He was quite certain of this; Fors ' father did not possess Beyonder Ability, and he had already observed him using the mechanism of the "Fire Seed" glove upon their first meeting.

If one is Beyonder, different Light Clump can be seen from the user's perspective.

"That only shows he has his reasons, it doesn't change the facts." Fors chuckled self-deprecatingly and stood up from the Long Sofa.

"I want to go somewhere, you..."

Lorry stood up, offering his actions instead of a reply.

Fors's gaze softened slightly, she smiled at him, and then strode into the Bedroom, emerging with a transparent file folder.

"Let's go." She glanced at Lorry, gripped his hand tightly, went outside, hailed a Hired Carriage, and headed towards the nearest Backlund Bank.

£2463.

This is the account balance they found.

Half an hour later, Fors put all the money she had taken out into a black Handbag and carried it back to her current rented house.

"He checked the bank account at the Backlund Branch in the Southern Continent and found that it hadn't been closed, so it's assumed you're still using it?" Lorry guessed.

Fors, seemingly lost in thought, responded a beat late:

"Perhaps."

She paused, then said:

"Since he wants to say goodbye to the past, he might as well go all the way."

As she spoke, she handed her Handbag to Lorry and said softly, "I don't want his money. Could you help me return it?"

"Sure, sure... I think it's hard for me to refuse you right now..." Lorry hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you going to go and see for yourself?"

"What's there to see? So much time has passed, why make things difficult for each other? He wants to start a new life, and I want to live my own life too."

Fors said with a relieved expression.

Lorry looked at her quietly without saying a word.

A few seconds later, Fors pursed her lips tightly and looked away.

She looked away and asked in a very soft voice:

"Is the Southern Continent... fun?"

Lorry chuckled to himself, thought for a moment, and said, "There's a drink called ' Golden Sunlight,' which tastes really good with ice and lemon slices."

"If you're not too busy, I'd like to take you there for a couple of days."

"It's nothing important..." Fors muttered, turning her head back, her gaze gentle and serene, a beautiful smile blooming on her face.

Lorry stared blankly for two seconds, then coughed twice and said, "Then leave a Note for Hugh and Albert, and we'll leave now."

"Fool... "Fors thought to herself with a pleased smile.

Then he added:

Thanks.
