Edward nodded. "You are right. But just because I don't understand it doesn't mean that the other person can't understand it."
"So what if I understand?"
"Aren't you afraid that everything you are doing now... is the result of His arrangement?"
Medici was silent for a moment.
Mouths appeared on his left and right cheeks again. "Hahahaha, I told you, even this kid can see it."
"You can't beat Him."
"Don't worry about your Lord. As long as we can advance to Sequence 0, we won't have to be afraid of Him anymore."
"That's right. That's right."
Priscilla covered her ears and muttered, "Why are you two so noisy every time you show up?"
Medici sneered, "If it was that easy to get promoted to Red Priest, would the three of us have ended up like this? And how do you know that what I'm doing now won't be for the purpose of getting promoted to Sequence 0? Also, do you know where the remaining two Conqueror traits are? Do you know the uniqueness of the Red Priest?"
The two mouths opened and closed, and no sound came out - they knew nothing.
Edward thought about it, raised his hand and said, "I know."
"???"
Medici showed a rare look of surprise: "Boy, are you serious?"
"But I won't tell you."
"…"
Medici's eyes narrowed. "I remember I said before that you have great potential to become a hunter. Now I am more convinced of this. Do you need my help?"
Edward smiled innocently: "Hey, I'm just a bully in my own family. I'm like this only in front of my own people. I'm more cowardly than anyone else in front of strangers."
"One of our own?"
Medici raised his lips, "Then you don't want me, your 'own man', to become stronger so that I can protect you."
"You are right!"
Edward nodded repeatedly. "However, does Lord Medici already know where one of the Conqueror's characteristics is?"
"Why do you say that?"
"You just reminded me... You just said, 'How do you know that what I'm doing now won't be for the purpose of advancing to Sequence 0?'"
Medici smiled, "It seems that you really know it."
He lowered his folded arms and said, "I didn't expect this. This is really a pleasant surprise."
The two mouths on Medici's face immediately shouted:
"Hey! What riddle are you two talking about?"
"Kid, if you know where it is, just tell me!"
"Don't play charades with us."
"Medici, Medici!"
Medici wiped his cheeks vigorously, making the two mouths disappear. "Do you think I have a chance to get this Conqueror trait?"
"have no idea."
Edward grinned, "But if your Excellency can get this feature, I will tell you the location of another feature I know of."
"Ha ha ha ha."
He suddenly burst into laughter, "I went through so much trouble just to protect that little girl."
Priscilla blinked in confusion, "Huh? What? Protect me from what?"
Well, you have accepted the nickname "stinky girl" so quickly. My bookstore has published the latest news.
"Well, actually I prefer to work with people like you," Medici said, "because your weaknesses are too obvious, unlike some guys who only care about themselves."
"Okay, let's do this for now. Let's take it one step at a time and take it slow."
Medici's figure turned into an afterimage and re-entered the mark on Priscilla's forehead.
"By the way, Mr. A said that you killed Ms. D, the shepherd?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Did you get her extraordinary characteristics?"
Medici said in a surprised voice: "What do you want that for?"
"I wanted to create something extraordinary out of it."
Priscilla then pulled out a tin box from her pocket, "Brother Edward, is this what you are talking about?"
Medici: "Hey, that's my trophy!"
"I can pay for it."
Priscilla smiled and said, "No money~"
"You little bitch! That's my trophy!"
Edward took the box and opened it. Inside was a black crystal reflecting colorful light. His inspiration suddenly moved, and he was sure in his heart: This is it!
I can finally advance to Sequence 5!
...
Port of Pritz.
Fors arrived at the kingdom's largest and most important port early in the morning by steam train and booked a return inland shipping ticket - which was relatively cheap.
But as soon as she got off the train, she felt that the atmosphere around her was very wrong. From time to time, she could see obvious extraordinary people walking back and forth.
There is only one possibility for so many extraordinary people to appear at once, they are all official extraordinary people!
What exactly happened here?
Should I give up meeting Mr. Dorian today?
Should I take the earliest train back to Backlund?
ah!!
I should have spent some money to invite someone from the Tarot Club to come with me! Is it too late to pray to Mr. Fool now?
She was hesitating about what to do next when she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking in front of her - that posture, that expression, that frizzy hair, and most importantly, that height!
That's right, it's Hugh!
"Fors?!"
Xio also noticed her at this time and walked over quickly: "You said you were going out to collect folk songs early in the morning, why are you here?"
"What about you? Didn't you say you received a commission?"
Xio nodded: "Yes, I am carrying out the commission now. Help... help to find suspicious persons near Pritz Harbor."
Fors shrank his head and asked, "Which suspicious persons?"
Xio looked her up and down and said, "You are very suspicious now!"
"…"
"Puff."
She laughed. "I won't tease you any more. It's said that a group of people from the Southern Continent and Bayam smuggled into Loen, and they went through the port near Priz Harbor. It's said that these people are pirates, thieves, and other people with criminal records. So the authorities took it very seriously and sent people here to search for them."
"Ah? This kind of thing requires the use of Beyonders?"
Xio lowered his voice, "Didn't you read the newspaper this morning? All the sailors and crew members on the ship that brought these stowaways here died!"
"ah?"
Fors was shocked. "I don't know."
"Anyway, Pritz Harbor will be in a state of unrest for the next period of time. If you have nothing else to do, hurry back to Backlund. After all..."
You are a wild Beyonder, after all.
"I, I understand."
Fors hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Well, I didn't come here to collect folk songs today, but..."
She quickly explained Mr. Lawrence's affairs and his will. "So, I'm here to return Mr. Lawrence's belongings to Mr. Dorian Gray. Can you come with me?"
Xio frowned immediately: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I'm afraid you'll worry about me~"
"Hmph! I'll go over there and ask for leave."
"I love you so much~"
Soon, Xiu took leave and came back.
The two walked along Harbor Road all the way to White Oak Street, and then found the Fishermen's Association located in an old building. After asking around, they found the office where Dorian Gray worked.
Boom boom boom.
Fors knocked gently on the wooden door. "Hello, is Mr. Dorian Gray here?"
There was no response from inside.
Chapter 314 Promotion, Moon
After waiting for half a minute, she knocked on the door again, but still no one answered.
Just as she was hesitating whether to use [Open Door] to go in and take a look, a young man poked his head out of the next room: "Mr. Gray just came to the office this morning and left in a hurry."
"Ah? Do you know where he went?"
"I don't know, maybe he went home."
Fors pleaded hurriedly, "Would it be convenient for you to tell me Mr. Gray's address? I...I am a junior of his family, and I came here specifically to visit him."
