Advancing to "Interrogator"
As soon as he finished speaking, Albert walked in from the Balcony with a docile expression, lay down at Lorry and Fors's feet, and wagged his tail vigorously.
Hugh secretly grimaced at the sight, unable to resist mentally complaining:
"Useless..."
Of course, she knew perfectly well that she was envious.
Envy a dog. It might sound absurd, but what if wagging its tail could bring a ready-made Potion to its mouth...?
She believes many Beyonder wouldn't mind doing this.
Let's assume they have tails.
Looking down at Albert, who had once shamelessly followed him but was now plump and strong with shiny fur, Lorry couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
Unexpectedly, the stray dog I adopted by chance actually seized the opportunity to change its own destiny and has come this far.
Lost in thought, Lorry suddenly felt a tickle and glanced to the side to see Fors brushing a strand of her faintly fragrant brown hair against her face.
Seeing him look over, Fors gently scolded, "What are you daydreaming about... Albert's been waiting for ages..."
Lorry glanced at the security dog that had its head tilted back, revealing pitiful eyes, and chuckled irritably, "This dog is quite clever; it knows who to turn to for help?"
As he spoke, he looked away, his gaze sweeping over Fors's feet, which had been curled up under her nightgown but had somehow peeked out.
Perhaps influenced by the "Demoness Makeup Mirror," they were as white as jade, giving them a sparkling appearance under the Gas Lamp.
"Of course! I told you before, Albert is very smart and well-behaved. He buys me food and Sweet Iced Tea, and he can even pay the water bill!"
As they spoke, Fors noticed that the man beside her seemed to be acting strangely. Following his gaze, her face immediately flushed slightly.
"What are you doing... Hugh and Albert are still here."
She felt extremely hot and quickly readjusted her position.
Huff... Xiu's chest heaved visibly as he exhaled forcefully and roared, "I said, are you two ever going to stop?"
"Do you think I and Albert are invisible? Should we leave?"
"Where are the features? Bring them here!"
"Such a young man, yet such a temper, always so fierce, watch out for the future..." Disappointed, Lorry coughed, stopping himself from finishing his sentence under Fors's watchful gaze. Hugh sneered:
"Then you'd better pray your bad luck doesn't come true, otherwise I'm sticking with Fors for the rest of my life, I'll follow her wherever she goes."
"Shouldn't daughters stay with their mothers?" Lorry thought to himself, but didn't say it aloud, worried that it might really upset Hugh.
After all, she's going to take Potion later, so it's best for her to keep her emotions stable.
But there's a precedent for this – when the "Despair" lady was tricked into another Dimension, she was so stimulated that she completely lost control.
If the Evernight Goddess hadn't arrived in time to handle the situation, the powerful demigod Sealed Artifact, the "Book of Dimensions," would likely have become practically useless.
"Smack!"
He snapped his fingers, and a light blue, semi-transparent hexagonal prism, with wisps of light flashing inside as if flowing lightning, suddenly appeared in the air.
Then, it fell onto the dining table with a thud.
--This is the Beyonder Characteristic the "Interrogator," a prized possession of the Human Trafficker Capim's protector, "Berris," from that operation.
Stunned for half a second by this move, Hugh resisted the urge to ask questions, turned around, picked up a beaker, and began to formally prepare the Potion.
Blood of the Lightning Pattern Black Snake, the byproducts of the Spirit of the Lake... she tossed each auxiliary ingredient into the beaker first, then added the "Interrogator" trait. Sizzle!
A pungent wisp of black smoke immediately billowed from the beaker, and the liquid inside seemed to be boiling, with tiny, fingernail-sized bubbles constantly rising to the surface.
Hugh covered his nose and mouth, outwardly staring intently at the beaker, but his ears were already perked up, trying to hear the conversation between his friend and that guy:
"... Demigod? Heh, their imaginations are quite rich... Of course not... just the power of Mystical Item..."
That time I defeated the "King of Immortality"... of course, it was also with the help of Mystical Item... to test my identity... It's alright, let them do what they want...
"... Once this journey is over, I will leave the ' Golden Dream '... What?! My, no, ' Flower Bow Tie's' Bounty has increased to 120,000 pounds..."
"How did the Military and the Church of Storms know about this...? Wait, I see... It must have been that Agalito's doing..."
"Uh, Jodson... do you hope his God will protect him?"
Pfft... Hearing that guy's smug tone, Hugh couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Swish!
Two pairs of eyes immediately turned towards them from the Long Sofa.
"My ears are on my body. If you don't watch your volume, don't blame me for hearing you... Also, Fors just said I'm not an outsider..." Thinking this, Hugh coughed casually, glancing down at the pale blue, translucent liquid in the beaker, which had gradually calmed down and occasionally shimmered with silvery light. Without turning around, she asked:
"The first ' Interrogator ' Potion is ready. Shall we go first, you or me?"
Albert got up from the floor, raised his head to look at the Long Sofa, and seeing that neither the hostess nor the hostess intended to make a decision for him, he thought for a moment and said:
"I'll go first."
That way you'll have something to refer to.
Hugh let out a surprised "uh," feeling somewhat uneasy.
Before this, she had often secretly thought that Albert was just like that guy, but now it seemed that he was at least much better than her master.
However, Albert then added:
"After all, my digestion is better than yours, so my chances of success are greater."
Similarly, it is even more valuable for reference.
"Would you die if you didn't say the second half of your sentence... You damn dog, as expected, annoying people can only raise annoying dogs..." Xiu took a deep breath and thought angrily.
Albert was about to go drink the Potion when Fors suddenly called out to him, "Wait!"
"Let me do a divination for you first, to see if there's anything wrong with this Potion."
After saying that, she took out a crystal ball from the drawer of the Tea Table, muttered a few Hermes, and placed her palm on the crystal ball.
Soon, the inside of the transparent sphere began to glow faintly.
Lorry glanced to the side and saw a large number of Distortion and detached images and symbols.
Fors opened her blue eyes and chuckled softly:
"No problem."
Albert barked and strode toward the dining table, where he stood up, lay on the table, and licked the glass of light blue liquid in a few gulps.
At the same time, Fors took out a Bracelet with interlaced blue and green gemstones from her pocket, put it on her wrist, and infused it with her Spirituality.
Soon, it emitted streaks of blue and green light and flew towards Albert.
