First kiss
"Good evening, Ms. Sharron." Realizing something was amiss immediately, Lorry turned her head to look at the glass and gave a polite nod.
Sharron, who possessed blonde hair more beautiful than a doll's, paused for a few seconds, then spoke in a flat, monotone voice:
I've seen you before.
"You had just embarked on your extraordinary journey and sought help from Kaspars."
"It's me." Lorry smiled and nodded, not denying it.
Sharron's gaze deepened. She didn't ask how he knew her name, nor did she express curiosity about his rapid advancement in just a few months. She went straight to the point:
What was your purpose in using that "Wraith" attribute to lure me out?
"I'd like to make a deal with you." Lorry used his Ritual Silver Dagger to create Wall of Spirituality, then retrieved the "Wraith" attribute again. "It's one of the items in the deal."
Sharron looked at him silently without saying a word.
You Temperance Faction... Lorry thought to himself, and continued:
"Trading one ' Wraith ' trait for one ' Desire Apostle ' trait, both of which are Sequence 5, is a very fair trade."
"In addition, I have Low Sequence items worth around three thousand pounds, all belonging to your Pathway, which are another type of trade item."
"Most of them are materials, and they have a ' Lunatic ' quality."
"This is my list of required materials."
--This "Lunatic" trait comes from one of the henchmen of "Werewolf" Sutton.
As he spoke, Lorry took a piece of paper from his pocket and laid it flat on the windowsill.
This was what he had prepared before leaving home: Beyonder Characteristic covering Sequence 9 to Sequence 6 of the "Marauder" Pathway, as well as a "Lava Octopus Blood Crystal".
The latter is another Main Ingredient for "Astrologer".
According to Fors, her teacher would offer "Lava Octopus Blood Crystal" as a reward, but Lorry knew that the Abraham had been hunted by members of the Aurora Order, and in the original course of history, her teacher was somewhat affected and was unable to provide the promised help.
Therefore, he had to make other arrangements.
As for the materials from the "Marauder" Pathway, they are already capable of simulating "Truth Insight" with Lorry, so there's no longer any concern about high-ranking individuals from this Pathway deliberately setting traps.
He can even see the hidden Worm of Time, let alone other methods.
"I need some time to raise the funds," Sharron said calmly. "The transaction will be completed in this room at noon tomorrow."
"You should at least tell me what you're planning to trade..." Lorry thought to himself, speechless, wondering how Klein could tolerate this way of speaking.
He couldn't help but ask:
"Is there any Lava Octopus Blood Crystal?"
"Yes," Sharron replied simply.
"..." Lorry took a deep breath and added, "If possible, I hope the materials for the transaction are at the same level as much as possible."
Sharron nodded slightly, without saying a word.
She lifted her skirt slightly, bowed slightly, and disappeared from the glass.
Lorry was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.
He had even prepared a prepared statement, intending to use the excuse of "killing Wraith through Spirit Channeling" and "learning about the Temperance Faction" as a response to the doubts.
All that effort was for nothing.
However, upon further reflection, he realized that the abilities of "Wraith" were understandable, since every "Wraith" was an expert in divination and Anti-Divination.
If Sharron is sincere in her transaction, she probably won't care about anything else.

The following day, Sunday at noon, the transaction, worth over £30,000, was completed quietly in a modest Inn room.
Having secretly activated "Truth Insight" to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the items, Lorry smiled and waved his right hand under the watchful eyes of Sharron and Maric.
In an instant, all the items on the table vanished.
The pale-faced man, whose eyes were always filled with malice, widened his pupils slightly and glanced at Sharron, who remained expressionless.
Sharron shook her head slightly, without saying a word.
"Gentlemen, if I acquire similar items in the future, will you still need them?" Lorry asked the two members of the Temperance Faction after completing the transfer.
Maric said in a deep voice:
"As long as they don't Self members."
"I rarely cause trouble." Lorry chuckled softly, picked up the top hat from the table, nodded in acknowledgment, and put it on his head.
Immediately, he exploded with a bang, turning into a shower of light and disappearing.
Maric couldn't help but look at Sharron:
"What kind of tactic is this?"
"I don't know," Sharron replied succinctly, gently waving her hand to collect everything except for the "Wraith" attribute.
Maric was both surprised and delighted as he picked up the "Wraith" trait, examined it carefully for a long time, and then put it into his pocket as if it were a precious treasure.
He never expected that the Advancement Item he had been longing for would come so easily.
Inside a house rented by two women in the Cherwood Borough.
Fors had just come up with a Trick and was excitedly preparing to find someone to practice it when she suddenly realized that no one was home, and she immediately felt disappointed.
"Recently, Albert seems to have been influenced by Hugh, spending all his time going out with her to hunt down wanted criminals... He also has his own things to do..."
She pondered wistfully, wondering whether she should write a letter to her editor to discuss the new book when she went out to buy groceries later.
As she was considering, she heard the sound of a key unlocking a door outside.
"They're back?" Fors knew it was unlikely that Hugh and Albert were back at this time, and happily climbed up from the Long Sofa.
Her gaze swept past the food, then was subconsciously drawn to the pocket:
What's inside?
A very superficial manifestation of aggregation? This thought flashed through his mind as Lorry smiled and took out the Lava Octopus Blood Crystal: "Your gift for digesting the Potion."
Fors stood there stunned for a good ten seconds, her gaze so tender it was almost tearful.
"But I haven't even really started to digest this yet, isn't your gift a bit too early...? Besides, the teacher said she'd reward me with a copy of the Main Ingredient..."
She took it with a slightly flushed face, looking embarrassed and awkward.
"We just happened to run into each other," Lorry said with a smile.
"Why haven't I ever 'just happened' to come across the materials I need..." Fors softly, then looked up, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Lorry and she exchanged a glance, and Luo Rui said as if Soothsayer:
A similar conversation had taken place before.
"Just as you were willing to use your connections to help me without expecting anything in return, I am also willing to help you improve your abilities without seeking anything in return."
He shrugged and chuckled, "If you really want to repay me, then..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Fors blur and pounce on him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck and pulling him away forcefully.
The next second, two cool, sweet Citrus Scent lips pressed against mine, extending an invitation in a proactive yet awkward manner.
Without hesitation, Lorry lowered his head and took over the initiative.
