Lorry never dreamed that his first night on the "Golden Dream" would be spent taking an Exam.

Fortunately, he passed the Exam, and judging from the frequent nods of the examiners, his score was probably quite good.

11 PM, Southern Continent.

Deep in a Primeval Jungle Alese City.

The tranquil moonlight spilled across the earth, casting huge shadows on the tall, ancient trees that had lived for countless years.

These enormous shadows stretched out in patches, seemingly blotting out the sky.

In the Curtain- like darkness, the sound of wind breaking suddenly rang out.

A moment later, a robust figure appeared.

He glanced around, his brown pupils quickly locking onto his target. He strode over, took a bamboo tube from his pocket, and threw it into the second-to-last tree hole.

After doing all this, he once again cautiously scanned his surroundings and quickly left.

Tranquility returned to the place. Time passed, and the Red Moon in the sky had unknowingly climbed to its zenith, its half-full body radiating a faint Crimson Light.

A graceful figure suddenly emerged from the shadows not far away.

She was veiled in black and walked quickly to the ancient tree where "the Zombie" Simon had just been. She reached out, took out the bamboo tube, and quickly glanced at the Note inside.

Call!

Her palm suddenly Burning into Flames, destroying the Note and the bamboo tube together, and she disappeared back into the shadow she had just appeared in.

1 Dawn.

Inside the hidden base of the Beria Family.

Pali Beria Lorry soaked comfortably in the hot spring, her captivating eyes slightly closed, quietly pondering the intelligence she had just gleaned.

Gibson has been found!

He is a member of the Tetenik branch of the "Rose School" and recently completed a long mission, having just submitted his application to Advancement "Werewolf".

We are currently awaiting a response from the above.

According to Simon, similar applications don't take long, at the latest half a month; and once Advancement, Gibson might not stay at Tetenik. "So, I'd better find him as soon as possible."

Thinking of this, Pali opened her eyes, a captivating smile curving her lips, and muttered to herself, "Tetenik seems to be not far from Alese."

"By sea, it will take no more than a day to arrive."

As she spoke, she stood up from the water, walked barefoot to the shore in the cool night breeze, picked up her scattered clothes one by one, and put them back on.

Then, he stepped out of his private Garden and instructed his maid:

"Find someone to buy a ticket to Tetenik tomorrow."

"We need to depart as quickly as possible."

The maid secretly glanced at her mistress's alabaster skin, a deep envy welling up in her eyes, but her reply was swift and decisive:

"OK."

Pali hummed in agreement and headed straight for the most heavily guarded part of the Manor.

Even a wrecked ship has three nails; how much more so a former Angel family.

Even though it's just a minor branch, the Beria Family's treasure trove still contains many valuable items that wild Beyonder would consider worthwhile. For example, auxiliary materials at Sequence 5 level.

As the current head of the family, the guards naturally dared not stop Pali.

She strode in, ignoring the disguised above-ground buildings, and headed straight for the hidden door at the end of the corridor, entering the underground treasure chamber.

Main Ingredient: Demoness skin, Son of Affliction's eyes.

"Supporting materials: 60 ml of ' Demoness's ' blood, 70 ml of ' Son of Affliction's ' blood, 3 Pure White Poppy, and 9 types of pituitary glands from intelligent beings."

After quickly passing through many Beyonder Characteristic of the Low Sequence, Pali arrived at the deepest point, and the Formula for "Desire Apostle" naturally came to mind.

She had already obtained the corresponding Beyonder Characteristic from the original body.

The treasury contains a significant amount of the blood of "Demoness" and "Son of Affliction"—a legacy from Patrick's cheap older brother.

When he Advancement "Desire Apostle", he made a point of purchasing more auxiliary materials that were relatively difficult to obtain for his sister.

As for the remaining two, Pure White Poppy can be bought at any herbal medicine shop, and the pituitary gland of intelligent beings is also not a problem.

It can be done by any member of the tribe.

In the almost silent chanting, the "Messenger" lady emerged from the Spirit World, looked Pali up and down, and took the materials from her hands. At that moment, Pali couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

She swallowed hard and whispered:

"Just help me store it; you don't need to give it to the main body."

The "Messenger" lady nodded silently, then turned and left the Real World.

Just how powerful is this thing? If it weren't Messenger from the main body, it could probably kill me on the spot with just a glance... Sigh...

Thinking this, Pali's chest heaved violently, and her long dress instantly tightened.

After a moment, she gradually came to her senses and began to reconsider the matter of Advancement:

"The materials are sufficient, the ceremony..."

"Let's start with Gibson from the Tetenik."

As the pinnacle of the Mid-Sequence, Beyonder on each Pathway generally use rituals to assist in their Advancement Advancement Sequence 5.

The Advancement ritual for "Desire Apostle" involves a series of murders targeting former Fallen, ranging from a minimum of 13 to a maximum of 49 people.

The more complete the ceremony, the greater the chance of Advancement. Go to Bing and search for "flag" to see the latest chapter!

The interval between two murders must be at least three days and at most nine days; less than three days is likely to get out of control, while more than nine days will cause the ritual to be reset.

In addition, there are a few details to note, but they are not worth mentioning.

On Wednesday morning, the "Golden Dream" was spotted in the waters near Midway Island.

Inside the Pirate Restaurant, First Mate "Gourmet" Bru Wall, Second Mate "Singer" Orpheus, "Bucket" Daniels, and others gathered together.

They were both staring at each other with hostile eyes.

At the far end of that area was the captain's dining room, where the two people talking in front of the door were "Vice Admiral Iceberg" carrying a tray and Lorry, who had a "Flower Bow Tie" hairstyle.

At the same dining table, Danitz lowered his voice and said:

"Hey, I have an idea."

"How about we all get together and clean up this pile of Dogshit when we get the chance?"

After he finished speaking, the others stared at him silently. Danitz raised an eyebrow:

"You're not scared, are you? We have one, two, three, four... so many of us."

Bru Wall, the "Gourmet" who was originally second in Bounty but has now been pushed to third, sneered and said irritably:

Do you know what Bounty over ten thousand means?

Aren't you afraid?

"Okay, you go first, and I promise I'll be second."

Danitz fell silent, inwardly grumbling. "Dogshit, a bunch of cowards... If I dared, would I have bothered to instigate you?"

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After listening to the questions, Edwina realized that some questions would be difficult to explain clearly with just words without paper and pen. She thought for a moment and said:

"Come in and talk."

"You can go choose your Breakfast first, and we can talk while we eat."

"Okay." Lorry nodded readily, looked around, and was about to go pick out some food when he suddenly spotted the clumsy Hunter. So he waved to him.
