Backlund, Cherwood District.
When the crimson light in front of her eyes faded, Fors saw the familiar desk and the open notebook that recorded her inspirations.
For her, although this experience was no longer novel, it still made her feel awe from the bottom of her heart.
This is a power that does not belong to humans, not even demigods or humans can use it!
"The stomach of the Soul Eater will be available in two days, and my 'Apprentice' potion has been digested... Finally, I will become a 'Master of Magic'. I wonder what kind of extraordinary ability I will gain... If I rely on myself to complete the promotion, the teacher will definitely pay more attention to me. In addition to the potion formula, he will definitely provide some extraordinary materials... I am looking forward to it. I don’t even know what the corresponding Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 are called. I only know that Sequence 7 is 'Astrologer'. When I become a 'Master of Magic', I will write to the teacher immediately..." Fors felt that he was one step closer to getting rid of the full moon curse.
Just then, she heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from near and then far away, and finally turned into the "clang" of the door.
"Xiu is out again. She is so busy." Fors sighed silently. "If she hadn't had to pay back the 400 pounds she owed Viscount Greylint, we should be on vacation in Desire Bay now."
After a long period of hard work, thanks to his improved strength, some commissions that were previously impossible to complete have become easy, and with the occasional small tasks with good pay from the man in the golden mask, Xio has increased his savings from 110 pounds to 320 pounds, leaving him only 80 pounds away from paying off his debts.
In fact, I could help her pay the 80 pounds first, but unfortunately, although she is not tall, she still has a strong sense of self-esteem... Fors withdrew his thoughts and considered the matter entrusted by Mr. World.
As a doctor and a writer, she knew little about radio, or even the entire mechanical field. She didn't pay attention to related content when she read the newspaper, and had no idea where to buy the receiver the other party wanted.
"Department store? It seems there isn't one... Oh, yes, Avila writes science fiction, so he should know a lot about this." Fors quickly found someone to consult.
But she immediately faced a new problem: should she visit directly or write a letter to ask?
Glancing at the reclining chair covered with a thick, soft blanket, smelling the aroma of coffee and tobacco that filled the room, and feeling the slowly creeping warmth, Fors's motivation to go out slowly dissipated.
"I'm not familiar with him, so I shouldn't visit him rashly." She muttered as she sat down and spread out the letter.

Silver City, Berg's house.
Derrick opened his eyes, waking up from his pretend sleep.
According to his original plan, he should now hold a sacrifice ceremony to give away the Soul Eater's stomach, but the words of the "Hanged Man" reminded him, and he decided to be more cautious and observe more.
Um... first collect all the materials Mr. Hanged Man wants and complete the sacrifice in one go... Derrick was silent for a few seconds, put on the "Hurricane Axe", and ran straight to the spire.
He first checked the information of the current items at the merit exchange point. He was not in a hurry to complete the transaction. He planned to wait until the lightning in the sky decreased and then go to the underground trading market to take a look.
Derrick went up to the third floor and headed straight to the myths and ancient books section of the library, hungry for valuable knowledge that he had not yet learned.
Suddenly, he saw a book with a hard, yellow cover:
"Giant King's Court Black Rock Book Manuscript"
Records passed down directly from the Giant King's Court? I wonder if there is any content related to the "Angel King"... Derrick reached out and pulled out the book, and found that it was bound with sheets of brown monster leather.
At this time, on the upper floor of the library, Colin Iliad, wearing a linen shirt and a brown coat, was standing quietly, looking down.
His unkempt gray hair was gently blown by the wind blowing in from the window, and his light blue eyes were deep and restrained.
…………
Wednesday, January 12, 5:40 p.m.
The sky was dark, the clouds were rolling, and the deep blue waves rose and fell.
The White Agate rose and fell in the scene of the approaching storm, like a toy in the palm of a giant.
"This is the sea. No matter how powerful a force is, it seems insignificant in front of it." Danitz stood at the window, admiring the scene outside. "Fortunately, we are about to arrive at the 'City of Generosity'."
After leaving Bansi Port, the voyage of the "White Agate" has been quite smooth. With the help of the wind, the speed has been stabilized at 15 knots. Therefore, it will arrive at Tiana Port just a little later than the scheduled time and will complete the entire journey half a day earlier than normal.
In other words, the "White Agate", which was originally scheduled to arrive at the "City of Generosity" on the morning of the 13th, will arrive at the port in the evening of the 12th.
Hearing Danitz's sigh, Klein simply looked up at him, then retracted his gaze and continued his contemplation.
The more he played the role of "Gehrman Sparrow", and the more he had to force himself to act in accordance with the character at certain times, the more he realized what kind of person he was. When faced with different scenarios, the choices he really wanted to make were different from those of "Gehrman Sparrow".
For example, normally he would respond to Danitz at this time and chat with him about the weather at sea and the disasters brought by those terrible storms, but Gehrman Sparrow would not do that. He would definitely treat him coldly and remain silent.
“The more similar contrasts I encounter, the more I can see myself clearly.” Klein sighed sincerely in his heart.
This was an experience he had not had before when he was working as private detective Sherlock Moriarty, because at that time, he did not need to disguise his personality and could just be himself.
I feel like my potion has been digested a little... However, Gehrman Sparrow and I have some similarities. At least when I chose to get off the ship and enter Bansy Harbor to save people, my identity and I completely overlapped and there was no difference... Of course, it can also be said that I added a personality to myself to a certain extent. Under the gentleness and madness is a kind, brave, compassionate, and sentimental heart. Haha, don't brag. If I had known that Bansy was Binsy, I would probably have been scared... Not necessarily. At least the danger predicted at that time was within the tolerable range... Klein thought half in summary and half in self-mockery.
This made him understand a problem more and more. Although playing a purely fictional person could help him digest the potion, in order to speed up and improve progress, he really needed to replace an existing identity, gain the affirmation of the other party's interpersonal relationships, feel the corresponding emotions of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, and immerse himself but not become addicted.
Become anyone, but eventually return to yourself? And get feedback from the corresponding personnel? Klein looked at the light yellow carpet, his mind full of thoughts.
Seeing that Gehrman Sparrow did not respond, Danitz spread his hands helplessly, feeling very suffocated.
Apart from asking me to do some servant stuff, this crazy guy is good in other aspects, except for one thing, he doesn't like to talk and has communication problems. If this continues, I will definitely go crazy... Fortunately, fortunately, I'm finally going to Bayam, and I can finally be free! Danitz felt that sooner or later he would develop the habit of talking to himself in the other party's similar silence.
After a while, he saw Gehrman Sparrow look up and say with a smile:
“Can you tell me which pirate contact points Bayam has?”
...Shit! You'd better keep quiet! Danitz's expression twisted.
Woo!
At 6:15 in the evening, before the storm hit, the White Agate entered the port smoothly and arrived at Bayam, the capital of the Rorsted Archipelago, the "City of Generosity".
This place is also known as the Spice Islands, with a variety of exotic spices, and the plantations in this area are the mainstay of the economy.
Among them, the Blue Mountain Island where Bayam is located occupies more than half of the land area of the archipelago. It has gold, silver, copper, coal, iron and other minerals, a high forest coverage rate, many varieties of fruits, and extremely fertile land. Because of this, the first batch of colonists named the city they built on the seaside "The City of Generosity", believing that this is the treasure land promised by the gods, flowing with milk and mead.
Klein picked up the suitcase that Danitz had packed, left room 312, and entered the corridor leading to the deck.
As expected, he met Donna's family, Cleves and others.
After being frightened before, the two siblings were still a little afraid of Klein. They half hid behind their parents and bodyguards, not daring to speak, like wilted balloons.
Klein nodded slightly as a greeting to them.
At this moment, Uldi Blanche hesitated for a second, took a half step forward and said:
“Mr. Sparrow, will you stop in Bayam?
"If I want to hire, no, ask for your help, how can I contact you?"
As expected, he is an adventurous businessman. Even if he is afraid, he still wants to make friends with people with extraordinary abilities... Klein thought for a moment and said:
"What newspapers are there?"
"The main popular newspapers in the archipelago are Sonia Morning Post and News." Urdi was able to give the answer without having to recall.
"Put an advertisement in the Sonia Morning Post for three consecutive days seeking Damir's special pickled meat and leave your address. I will come to find you. If I haven't shown up after three days, it means I'm out to sea again." Klein gave a one-way contact method very cautiously.
"Okay." Uldi breathed out and smiled.
Cleves and the others expressed their gratitude once again and left the cabin in an orderly manner.
Seeing the gangway in sight, Donna suddenly slowed down her pace, shrank back to Klein's side, raised her face, bit her lower lip and said:
"Uncle Sparrow, since, since such power will inevitably bring danger and madness, why did you choose it?"
She thought about this question for a long time and finally mustered up the courage to ask.
Klein was stunned for a moment, and instinctively smiled:
“For the dream.”
Then, his voice lowered, he uttered two words:
"And, protection."
Guard... Donna recited the word a little confusedly, quickened her pace and caught up with her parents.
After watching Blanche and her family leave the White Agate, Klein retracted his gaze and said to Danitz beside him:
"You are free."
Huh? Danitz was a little uncomfortable for a while.
