Chapter 40 Obtuse Angle! I choose obtuse angle!
"If it's intelligence in this area, I do know some."

Xio's expression was complicated, but he recovered quickly and asked in a low voice, "But I don't know if the information I know overlaps with what you need."

"I don't know much."

Yu Jin said frankly, "I only know that the 'Lawyer' path is a path mastered by the royal family of the Solomon Empire in the Fourth Epoch. Other than that, I know almost nothing about it."

“Then there should be no overlap.”

Xio took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know what sequence pathway the Augustus family has?"

"arbitrator."

Yu Jin nodded slightly and replied.

The Augustus family is the royal family of the Kingdom of Loen, and the sequence path they control is the "Arbitrator".

This information was given to him by the Hanged Man at the previous Tarot Conference.

"Yes."

Xio nodded slightly and explained, "The sequence path controlled by the Augustus family is the 'Arbitrator', so most of the extraordinary people in the military and the royal intelligence agency MI9 are of the 'Arbitrator' path."

After a pause, Xio lowered his voice and said softly, "Both me and my father are 'Arbitrator' channels."

"but……"

Hugh Dilcha then changed the subject, "My ancestors once held the title of Earl of the Palace, and were legitimate court nobles. My father also served as the commander of the royal guard and the chief of the palace guards, so my family knows some secret information about the Augustus family."

"For example, the royal family has a sequence of channels other than 'arbitrator' and 'lawyer'."

"The royal family controls access to lawyers?"

As if he suddenly realized something, Yu Jin asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Xio nodded slightly and said solemnly, "The royal family controls the two sequence paths of 'Arbitrator' and 'Lawyer'. I am absolutely sure of this. This is absolutely correct!"

"So, it's still the royal family?"

Yu Jin's eyes moved slightly.

From the first day he arrived in the capital, he instinctively cast a suspicious eye towards the royal family.

But he had no evidence so far.

And now, Xio's words confirmed some of his guesses.

At least from the information known now, the royal family is definitely inseparable from the Black Emperor.

But this intelligence alone is far from enough.

"Where is your father?"

Ember asked, "If possible, I hope to meet him."

"he died."

Hugh suddenly lowered his head and whispered, "Seven years ago, he was accused of participating in a rebellion and was eventually sentenced to death by hanging, stripped of his title and fiefdom. My family fell into ruin, and many members even disappeared inexplicably.

In order to survive, we changed our surnames and left Dongtucker County. But I don’t believe my father would rebel. He was so loyal to the royal family, even more than his faith in the goddess! In order to…”

"stop."

Sensing her friend's increasingly agitated emotions, Fors gently hugged Xio's shoulders from behind and whispered, "It's okay. No matter what happens, I will support you."

She and Hugh had known each other for a long time, but Hugh had never told her this.

And now, in order to help herself 'pay off the debt', she took the initiative to reveal her past.

Fors knew that this past experience must have been very painful for Xio.

“I’m sorry to hear that.”

Yu Jin glanced at the two people who were in a good position, and slowly said, "But the information you provided is very valuable. What kind of reward do you need?"

"unnecessary."

Xio took a deep breath, patted Fors's hand, raised his head and looked at Yu Jin, "But if possible, I hope you can provide Fors with a few more treatments."

"Okay, how many times do you need?"

Yu Jin nodded slightly and asked.

"How about three times?"

Xio hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly.

The information she provided was already considered confidential to some extent, but it was not an exclusive secret in itself.

Is three times a bit too much? "Okay."

Ember nodded calmly and said slowly, "I can provide her with three treatments for free, but the intelligence you provided is far more valuable to me than sixty pounds. I can give her some additional compensation, and you can make your choice."

"First, another year of free treatment."

"Second, I can provide you with some useful information."

"I choose first... woooo..."

"Choose the second one!"

Xio chose the first option without hesitation, but before he could finish his words, Fors covered his mouth and interrupted him, saying, "Let me make it clear first, if the information you provide is something we already know, or if it is worth less than 300 pounds, it will not count."

"can."

Yu Jin hesitated for two seconds and asked, "Do you know how to act?"

"Performance?"

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

"In the seven major churches, only mid- and high-sequence Beyonders are qualified to master this information. The key is:"

“It’s not about mastering, it’s about digesting.”

"It's not digging, it's acting."

"The name of the potion is not only a symbol, but also an image. It is also the key to digestion."

“But you have to remember that you are only acting.”

Yu Jin explained the key points of the acting method to the two of them in a concise manner, and Xio and Fors immediately understood something.

Although Ember didn't mention any names, they immediately realized that this role-playing was aimed at potions!
"I suppose this information is worth £300?"

"..."

Facing Yu Jin's question, Fors opened his mouth.

She originally wanted to get some information and then say that they already knew it in order to get some information for free.

Who would have thought that Yu Jin would give such explosive information!

Fors lowered her head in frustration. This made it impossible for her to cheat!
"very good."

Seeing that the two did not raise any objections, Yu Jin nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Besides that, I have another commission."

"Commission?"

Fors asked curiously, "What kind of commission?"

“I wrote a novel.”

Yu Jin said, "I hope Miss Fors can help me submit it to the publishing house for sale, in the name of your apprentice."

After thinking for a while, he added, "If possible, it would be best if you could promote this book in your book. As a reward, half of the royalties from this book will belong to you. How about that?"

This was the thought he had when he first met Fors.

It's just that I haven't had time to put it into practice yet -

After all, writing a book takes time.

Even if it's copied from memory fragments.

"In the name of my apprentice?"

Fors looked strange.

"Yes."

"Are you an apprentice?"

Thinking of the acting method that Yu Jin had just revealed, Fors couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't you already know that?"

Yu Jin looked at her in surprise and asked back.

"I know a ghost!"
