Xio's Amazing Imagination

Hugh quickly turned around and went back to rinse his mouth and wash his face, then sat down on the Single Sofa with water droplets still on his face. "The day I went to Williams Street last week."

"When I returned from meeting my Client, Mr. ' Fool ' took me to the afternoon gathering place in Hired Carriage."

She paused, her expression serious, and said:

"That Client looks a lot like Mr. ' Moon '."

She then briefly described what she had discovered about the commonalities between the Client and Mr. "Moon," her brow furrowing slightly as she spoke:

"Are you daydreaming? Are you thinking about something?"

Fors out an "uh," revealing a slightly embarrassed expression.

Xiu raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"

After thinking for a moment, Fors decided it wouldn't hurt to tell his friend, "When you mentioned when you Tarot Club earlier, I suddenly had a strange feeling."

She looked thoughtful, and tried to organize her thoughts as she said:

"Maybe I'm overthinking it? I just have a feeling your involvement might be related to me and Mr. ' Moon '."

After a brief pause, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "The 'World' asked me to investigate Williams Street, but I was too lazy to do it, so I made an excuse to turn it down."

Later, the matter fell to Mr. "Moon".

"As a result, he turned around and entrusted the investigation to the Bounty Hunter, which is you, and pocketed half of the reward himself."

"I'm wondering if Mr. 'World' found out about this, so he simply asked Mr. ' Fool ' to recruit you as Official Member."

"Mr. World?" Hugh carefully recalled the member to his right who hadn't spoken much and gave off a gloomy vibe, then shook his head with amusement:

"Isn't it normal to subcontract a business? Many middlemen in the East Borough make a living this way, and we do it all the time, don't we?"

"Besides, the 'world' is clearly Sequence One higher than us, and has certainly experienced far more. Why would it care about such a trivial matter?"

Fors thought for a moment, then chuckled and said:

You have a point.

"Perhaps it's because I've been working on my new book lately that I've become a bit sensitive."

"Besides, his opinion doesn't count. There's Mr. Fool above him; how could he invite new members for such a reason?"

"You just found out?" Hugh glanced at his friend with annoyance, got up and walked towards the Kitchen. "I'm thinking of making a cup of Black Tea, would you like some?" "Yes!" Fors nodded with a smile. A moment later.

Xiu returned to the Living Room carrying two cups of Black Tea.

"Ask whatever you want, why are you being so polite with me?" Fors glanced at his friend who seemed hesitant to speak, then closed the Newspaper and set it aside.

"Who's being polite with you... I was just thinking about how to say it..." Hugh muttered under his breath, then cleared his throat and said seriously:

"What do you think of what the ' Hermit ' said about the afternoon gathering?"

Fors chuckled lazily and said:

"I knew you wanted to ask about this... What else can I say? She's overthinking things. It's a shame she doesn't use such excellent associative abilities to write novels..."

As she spoke, she glanced sideways at her friend and said irritably:

"You have the nerve to bring this up? It's one thing if they know nothing... but what happened to you this afternoon, Hugh?"

Don't tell me you don't know his Sequence.

"Uh, why are you looking at me like that?"

Hugh withdrew his gaze, hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked, "Fors, do you think it's possible that what the ' Hermit ' said is true?" "Of course not," Fors said, speechless. "I helped him buy all the materials for Advancement Sequence 7 from the Tarot Club, and besides..."

"Never mind, just pretend that sentence never happened."

Without Lorry's consent, she didn't want to tell anyone else about the Lieutenant Colonel.

Even if this person is your best friend.

"But..." Hugh gritted his teeth, not mentioning his capture, and changed the subject, "Don't you think that if you treat that guy as Half-Human, Half-God, many illogical things can be explained?"

She paused briefly, then gave an example:

"For example, that guy can easily do things that Beyond One's Sequence. Or, for example, he can casually pull out tens of thousands of Pound."

"You're also Sequence 7, can you do that?"

Fors remained silent for a few seconds, speechless, before asking in return:

"Then how do you explain his Advancement? When we first met, he was Sequence 9, just like me, and he slowly worked his way up by drinking Potion."

Xiu had already prepared his answer:

"The ' Parasite ' can absorb the characteristics of those with the same Pathway to create Worm of Time." How come I never noticed before that Hugh has such a rich imagination... If she were to write novels with me, she might already be making a fortune... Fors to herself, somewhat speechless, criticizing her friend.

Then he asked:

"So his reason for doing this is..." Hugh scratched his messy blond hair and pursed his lips.

"That's what I don't understand either, but I've considered one possibility: that guy might be trying to get close to you by using a similar identity."

"... Thank you." Fors her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, both annoyed and amused. "You mean, a Half-Human, Half-God powerhouse went so far as to hide his strength and pretend to be weak just to get close to me... Uh, wait a minute!"

She suddenly exclaimed and ran to the desk in the Living Room to start writing furiously, Record her inspiration.

The beginning of the new book is ready!

A powerful and wealthy young noble Knight encounters a beautiful Miss Mercenary by chance. To pursue his love, he disguises himself as a newly graduated Rookie Knight and joins her Miss Mercenary's team.

The Fog Sea, the "Golden Dream".

Lorry's figure was gradually outlined in the room belonging to the Third Mate. Hearing the snoring outside, Door Opening with a sense of speechlessness.

He glanced at the Fourth Sailor-in-Charge, who had suddenly lost his balance and nearly fallen to the ground, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Why aren't you sleeping in your room or drinking on deck at this hour? What are you doing at my door?"

"Worried about me?" Thank God... this guy actually came back alive! Danitz secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but refused to show weakness verbally:

Worried about you?

"If it weren't for the captain's insistence, I would rather jump into the sea than come here."

As he spoke, he covered his nose with his hand, showing a disgusted expression. "I can smell a nauseating odor even through the crack in the door. I really don't know how you can live in such an environment?"

"Oh, by the way, the captain wants you to see her when you get back."

What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.

Lorry's heart skipped a beat. He welcomed the "Flames" Great Pirate into the room and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "It's up to you now."

Clean it up before I come back to sleep.

Having said that, he didn't give Danitz, whose expression was gradually Distortion, a chance to speak. As he turned to leave, he smiled slightly and reminded him:

"The Conspirer's Potion..."

"Dogshit... The ' King of Immortality ' is such a waste, actually letting that bastard come back alive..." Thinking this, Danitz nodded with a smirk.

"Okay, okay."
