Dorian to the student's story, remaining silent for a long time without saying a word.

Performing in front of over 30,000 people... inviting powerful and Beyonder to witness his Trick... he was momentarily at a loss for words to evaluate this student.

After a moment, Dorian exhaled, trying to ease the atmosphere:

I remember you once said you were a writer.

"I don't know much about this industry. Is your income really that high? Can you afford to hire a dozen or so Circus Troupe to put on large-scale free performances?"

"And offering free food to attract Spectator must be quite expensive." He didn't mention another thing, which the students had already discussed regarding the other party's compensation.

"Uh, expenses..." Fors said, slightly embarrassed.

I don't know either.

Dorian was taken aback by these words: "You don't know?"

"Yes, yes," Fors said, her face slightly flushed.

"I was just told to quickly master a few Trick, and then, without knowing anything about them, I suddenly found out I had to perform that night."

"Everything was done by me, my friend took care of everything." What kind of friend would care about your Potion digestion? For the first time in his life, this old man, who had never complained about anyone, felt an urge to retort.

He smiled slightly and looked at his students:

I'm guessing he's male.

"... Uh..." Fors blushed even more and simply admitted it:

He is male.

We've known each other for a long time, and now we're officially dating.

"Then he must value you a lot to be willing to spend time, energy, and money doing these things," Dorian said with a smile.

He looked at the shy student with kind eyes, then suddenly raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly, feeling that the student was much more charming than when they first met.

"Is he also Beyonder?" Dorian asked.

Fors nodded slightly:

"Our friendship officially began during a Catastrophe, a Mysticism Catastrophe in which only two of us survived."

"If he hadn't insisted on not giving up on me, you probably wouldn't have met me. From then on, I vaguely developed some feelings for him, and after going through a series of events, we finally confirmed our feelings for each other not long ago."

"I understand," Dorian said with a smile.

"There are many similar stories in the works of Emperor Roselle, and there is a reason why they have remained classics for one or two hundred years."

"In your industry, it's called 'the story is based on reality.'"

Right?

Feeling a sweet Fors in her heart, Fors nodded in agreement, suddenly realizing what she should write for her next novel.

Dorian, with great tact, didn't elaborate on the topic. Instead, he pulled a folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to his student:

"Your ' Astrologer ' Formula."

Fors's heart skipped a beat. After thanking her teacher, she couldn't wait to open it.

Astrologer:

Main Ingredient: Meteorite Crystal, Lava Octopus Blood Crystal.

"Supporting ingredients: 10 grams of clematis powder, a section of withered grapevine, a pair of eyeballs from any type of octopus, and 80 ml of spirits." She skipped the Main Ingredient and went straight to the section on supporting ingredients.

"Clematis powder can be bought at herbal shops... withered grapevines should be available on the street, and if not, there should be plenty in his Vineyard... octopus eyeballs can be found at the market, or you can bribe the chef at Restaurant... as for spirits, I think I still have a few bottles of high-proof base liquor left at home. I originally planned to mix my own drinks, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to learn..."

"So, does that mean I'll be Advancement very soon?" Fors couldn't help but feel a dreamlike sense of unreality.

Am I about to become Sequence 7 "Astrologer"?

At this moment, Dorian coughed softly, interrupting the student's thoughts:

"Sorry, I didn't know you had already digested ' The Trickmaster,' so I only brought the ' Astrologer ' Formula with me this time."

"In addition, due to a recent incident, I lost some of my collection, including the Main Ingredient I promised you."

"Consider this the final test. Once you 'Advancement ' Astrologer,' I'll give you a Mystical Item as a gift."

"Uh, what kind of look is that?"

Fors said in a low voice with a strange expression:

"Teacher, I actually already have Lava Octopus Blood Crystal."

After a few seconds of silence, Dorian asked slowly, "What exactly happened?"

"It was a gift he gave me," Fors replied.

After another ten seconds of silence, Dorian, feeling slightly weary, finally spoke, "Alright, that's enough for today. I wish you a speedy journey to becoming an ' Astrologer '."

"Remember to write and let me know when the time comes."

Seeing that the teacher looked tired, Fors didn't linger. After reminding him to take care of his health, he left the Inn with the "Astrologer's " Formula.

She excitedly flagged down a Hired Carriage and said to the driver:

Go to the nearest department store.

6:30 PM.

60 Minsk Street, Cherwood Borough.

Quickly turning his head to make sure no one was around, Fors strode to the wall, broke off a piece of withered grapevine, and put it in his pocket.

Then, she casually returned to the main road and quietly exhaled: Go to Bing Search Flags to view the latest chapters!

"The last piece of paperwork is ready... He told me to write a letter to inform him before my Advancement... I'll write it when I get back, he definitely won't be home during this time..."

Half an hour later, at the two women's residence.

Lorry sat on the Long Sofa, watching Fors toss ingredients into beakers one by one, creating soft popping sounds and colorful wisps of smoke.

In the colorless liquor, several Beyonder Characteristic rise and fall, with bubbles constantly rising to the surface, resembling a thick vegetable soup that has already been cooked.

After waiting patiently for a few minutes, they quieted down.

The original ingredients have disappeared, leaving only a clear, colorless substance in the beaker, almost solidified, which wobbles like jelly when gently shaken.

Clang!

Lorry flicked the coin from his fingertip, resulting in a head-up outcome.

He nodded slightly to Fors, indicating that there was no problem with the "Astrologer" Potion, and then reached for the White Bone Ring as Fors picked up the beaker.

Glug! The jelly-like Potion slid down her throat. Fors smiled, slowly closed her blue eyes, and began to endure the Potion's transformation of her body.

A few minutes later, she opened her eyes with a bright smile:

I did it!

On the "Golden Dream" slowly sailing in the vast deep sea.

In the captain's cabin, Edwina looked up at the wall clock for the fifth time, and after confirming that she wasn't seeing things, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

Immediately, she got up and went outside, leaning against the railing and looking down at a figure who had just come out of the Pirate Restaurant:

"Danitz."

The Great Pirate "Flames" was burping and preparing to brag to some acquaintances when he suddenly heard the captain's voice above him. He quickly looked up in surprise:

"What is it, Captain?"

Edwina calmly asked, "Is Jodson at the Pirate Restaurant?"

"If he's not here, go to his room and tell him that tonight's class starts at 7:00, and it's already been 15 minutes past that."
