Stockholm's Miss Author

Uh, I knew it wasn't a nice thing to say... but to be fair, weren't you pretty into it just now...? Lorry thought to himself.

He felt he couldn't entirely blame himself.

Emotional instability is one aspect.

On the other hand, the writer is indeed becoming more and more radiant and charming.

Putting aside the external changes, the way her eyes were dreamy and her red lips parted slightly when she was moved, exuding a charm that combined purity and allure, was enough to fascinate me.

Why is there no Paths of the Divine to increase a person's endurance? As his thoughts wandered, this thought inexplicably came to mind, and he immediately felt quite regretful.

If Mystical Item existed, he would do everything in his power to obtain one.

Seeing this, a fleeting hint of smugness flashed in Fors's pale blue eyes, which quickly turned into a light, clear laugh, as crisp as a silver bottle shattering:

Okay, okay, I'm just kidding.

Next time I'll try to hold on a little longer.

Next time? A thought struck Lorry.

Their heads were close together, they could even feel each other's breath, and his changing gaze naturally didn't escape Fors's notice. The writer was slightly taken aback, fear flashing in her blue eyes, and she quickly added:

"Wait, next time, not today!"

She snorted irritably:

"I've used up my quota for today, and my mouth still hurts."

"There's a quota system for kissing?" Lorry thought to himself, silently complaining.

However, when he glanced at the writer's lips, he noticed they did appear to be a bit fuller than when they first met, and thus assumed the topic was over.

At that moment, he met Fors's smiling gaze:

"What's wrong?"

Fors blinked her blue eyes and said:

"Happy."

Before Lorry could respond, she continued speaking to herself:

"I'm happy that you think of me first when you need me, I'm happy that you've returned to Backlund, I'm happy that you respect my wishes. I'm happy that you've become so powerful, I'm happy that you trust me and don't mind that I know about the powerful Mystical Item you possess."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh:

"I never imagined I'd be leaning on the shoulder of a Pirate King."

"I wouldn't even dare to imagine such a scene when writing a novel. Just a while ago, I was at that Concealment gathering, listening to the legends of the Four Kings of the Sea like a story."

"And your title sounds impressive, stronger than the other four."

"It's just that the ship's name isn't very appealing."

Lorry couldn't help but chuckle and said, "If you like, you can rename it ' Fors ' or ' Wall ' right now."

Fors let out a dry laugh and said:

"Forget about that, let's just keep calling it ' Black Lady '."

As she said this, she raised her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lorry.

"Would you like to go for a stroll on the sea?" Lorry asked.

Based on the previous topic, it's not difficult to arrive at this conclusion. Fors hummed in agreement and then hesitantly asked:

"May I?"

Lorry didn't answer immediately, quickly considering the possibilities.

For him, the most important thing at this stage is to collect the Beyonder Characteristic or Beyonder Characteristic corresponding to the "Dream Stealer" to complete the Advancement.

Currently, Joe is one direction, but it cannot be said to be absolute. It can only be said that the existence of that swindler back then is a possibility of "Marauder" with Beyonder Pathway.

Furthermore, we can ask Fors to help us collect information through the Tarot Club's channels.

However, the probability is still not high.

This can be glimpsed from previous material trading.

As for other methods, such as acquiring it at a regular Beyonder Gathering, the possibility is even lower, so he plans to directly entrust this task to Hugh.

If all the above attempts fail, I can still try to trade with Pallez...

Even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse; even in poor condition, it can easily separate a "Dream Stealer" trait, or have Leonard purchase it on its behalf from the "Hermits of Fate"...

However, the prerequisite is to protect His grandson... This matter cannot be rushed. The cause and effect involved in "The Groselle's Travels" are too great, and I don't want to get involved. I'll try my best not to interfere with the original course of history...

Therefore, the best option is to patiently wait for the letter from "Vice Admiral Iceberg"...

One idea after another emerged. With Pallez, an ancient being from the Fourth Epoch, backing him up, Lorry felt a little more confident.

Thinking of this, he looked at Fors:

How far have you digested your "Astrologer" Potion?

Fors seemed quite surprised that Lorry would ask this question, and paused for a few seconds before answering, "... Soon, it will be completely digested very soon."

"Hmm, there's still a little over half left, less than a third."

After saying that, she explained somewhat awkwardly:

"This isn't my fault. The feedback from role-playing is too little. I go to the Divination Club quite frequently, at least five or four afternoons a week."

"I didn't rush you." Lorry couldn't help but chuckle.

Then, after a moment's thought, he said:

"At your pace, it should take you at most a month and a half to fully digest it. Once you've digested the ' Astrologer ' Potion, we'll take a long trip, and while we're at it, gather materials for further Advancement and prepare for the role-playing."

Fors let out a slightly disappointed "Ah?" and muttered under his breath:

"We also need to prepare in advance..."

"What kind of trip is this...?"

Upon hearing this, Lorry raised his hand and tapped her forehead in an annoyed tone. Even with his physical abilities, the tap was still quite forceful.

Fors let out a soft "Ouch" in pain, rubbing her forehead with a docile expression.

"Knew."

Seeing her pitiful look, Lorry was both amused and annoyed, and said, "If you really don't want to, a simple trip is fine too."

He had assumed Fors would back down gracefully.

But unexpectedly, the writer quickly shook her head:

"No!

"Your arrangement is good, let's leave it at that." After saying that, she chuckled somewhat sheepishly, "I just... well, I'm lacking a little motivation. I'm not stupid, I know you're thinking of me."

"Don't worry, I'll digest the ' Astrologer ' Potion as soon as possible."

Lorry gave a soft "hmm" and asked casually, "Have you been corresponding with your teacher lately?"

He was referring to Dorian Gray, a member of the Abraham Family.

The purpose of asking this question was mainly to find out if Fors had obtained, or if there was still any chance of obtaining, "Leymano's Travel Notes".

After all, the two were close, Fors was more influenced by him.

"Yes," the writer replied without much thought, "But the teacher seems to be busy with some things and can't make it to Backlund for the time being."

Seeing that she didn't bring it up herself, Lorry had no choice but to ask again:

"I remember you said he was planning to give you a gift as a Advancement gift?"

Fors nodded, "Mmm."

"The teacher said in the letter that she would find time to give me the gift as soon as possible."

Lorry nodded slightly, a thought flashing through his mind, and smiled, "I promised you before that I would give you a Mystical Item as a gift to help you digest the Potion. Now your gift has arrived; all that's left is for you to fully digest the Potion."

Fors was wondering what this nonsensical statement meant when he suddenly had a Spirituality connection and looked up to see his Messenger emerge from the Spirit World.
