Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 50 Why didn’t you say so earlier? !

117 Burningham Road, Hillsdon, early evening.

Embers returned to his residence from Queens and walked in through the door.

"Can't you open the door and come in?"

Fors, who was lying on the sofa, rolled her eyes.

"I don't have the key."

Ember said calmly.

"Then knock on the door! If you knock on the door, I will open it for you, right?"

"I live here, why should I knock?"

Yu Jin asked back, then glanced at the girl lying on the sofa and said calmly, "Given your personality, if I really knocked on the door, you would probably ask me why I asked you to open the door when you could have used your ability to come in."

"..."

Fors's face flushed red, and she angrily took out a key and threw it to Yu Jin, "Remember to open the door next time, or I will sue you for trespassing!"

Yu Jin took the key with considerable force, but he did not argue with her. Instead, he asked, "Where do I live?"

"Xiu and I live on the second floor, and you live on the first floor."

"learn."

Ember nodded calmly, glanced around and asked, "Where's Miss Xiu?"

"do not know."

Fors said confidently, "She won't tell me everything, but I guess she is now enforcing justice somewhere in the East District."

At this point, Fors couldn't help but mutter, "I've told her many times not to get herself into trouble just to help others. If she's imprisoned again, I won't be able to help her."

"correct."

After mumbling for a while, Fors continued, "I have handed your manuscript to the publishing house. Sir William of the publishing house is very satisfied and has announced that it will be published within a week."

"but."

Fors paused and couldn't help asking, "Is this really useful?"

"I said, this is an attempt."

Yu Jin was quite calm about this and said calmly, "It would be best if it succeeds, but there is no loss if it fails."

"It's more than no loss."

Fors rolled her eyes at him, feeling a little depressed.

As the author of Stormwind Heights, she was already considered a well-known author and was one of the top few writers.

Like the 'one penny' daily newspaper, Backlund's books and periodicals usually cost one soli per copy.

As of this month, sales of Stormwind Heights have exceeded 150,000 copies.

This means that its sales have exceeded 7,500 pounds.

But as the author, Fors only received 10% of the profits, leaving less than pounds after tax deduction.

But even so, this amount of money is actually not small, and is equivalent to the income of an ordinary person for 30 years.

But compared to the expenses on mysticism, it is still pitifully small.

After all, a single Sequence 8 potion would cost at least four hundred pounds, and there was still a shortage of people in stock.

"etc?!"

Fors seemed to suddenly think of something and subconsciously turned his gaze towards the embers.

"Is something wrong?"

Ember sensed her gaze and turned around to look at her in surprise.

"You are an apprentice."

Fors said word by word, "So you are now acting as an apprentice in order to digest the potion as quickly as possible. And you are also an official Beyonder, which means that you have the potion formula for Apprentice Path Sequence 8, 'Master of Magic'?"

After saying this, a light suddenly flashed in Fors's eyes, and she looked at Yu Jin with anticipation.

"No."

Ember shook his head.

"..."

The light in Fors's eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant, her mouth slightly opened, and her expression was stiff.

The overall look seemed a bit empty. "But."

Yu Jin suddenly changed the subject, "The Church of Evernight has it, and I can indeed get the magic potion formula from the Master of Magic."

"Then could you give me a copy of the potion formula once you get it?"

A glimmer of hope reappeared in Fors's eyes, and she looked at the embers with hope and expectation.

"can."

Ember nodded, but quickly added, "Four hundred pounds."

"..."

Fors's expression froze again.

"Ash."

Fors sat up straight and said seriously, "You are also an apprentice, and you also need the magic formula of the magic master to complete your promotion, right? In this case, we should share the cost of this magic formula."

Yu Jin showed a thoughtful expression and nodded slightly at Fors's expectant gaze.

"Right?"

Fors smiled and said, "So we should each pay 200 pounds."

"What you said makes sense."

Yu Jin first agreed with Fors' words, but then suddenly changed the subject and said, "But I refuse, because I can buy the potion formula by myself and then resell it. Why should I partner with you? Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

"Four hundred pounds, not a penny less!"

The smile on Fors's face froze, and soon she puffed up her face and glared at Yu Jin with a hint of dissatisfaction.

At this moment, the sound of a door opening was heard from the entrance, and a petite girl in an apprentice knight's uniform pushed the door open and walked in.

"Crack!"

"I'm so tired, what are you doing?"

After closing the door, Xio stretched out of habit, then saw the two people staring at each other in the living room, and asked in a rather curious manner.

"nothing."

Yu Jin retracted his gaze and said calmly, "It's just that Fors wanted me to buy her a magic potion formula from the magician."

"Potion formula?"

Xio's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, he suddenly asked in a low voice, "Can you get the formula for the Sequence 8 potion from the Arbitrator's Pathway?"

"can."

Yu Jin nodded slightly. "Sequence 8 of the Arbitrator Path is the Sheriff. I can buy it from the Church of Evernight for you for 400 pounds."

"it is good."

Xio was extremely surprised and nodded quickly.

Fors glared at Xio with some disappointment, "How could you compromise so quickly?"

If you give her the money so easily, then won't she have any excuse to bargain?

Xio was unaware of his friend's complaints, and walked briskly to the sofa and sat down, and asked in a relaxed manner, "Ash, is the work of the Night Watchman very hard?"

"Hard?"

Yu Jin thought about today's experience, stroked his chin and said, "It wasn't that hard."

"for example?"

Xio asked curiously, "What do you need to do every day? Well, take today as an example, what did you do today?"

"Today."

Yu Jin thought for a moment and said slowly, "I reported to the headquarters at 8 o'clock in the morning, and then I received news that a Night Watcher had been murdered, so I went to the scene to assist in the investigation..."

Yu Jin briefly explained the situation at the scene to the group, and then added, "By the way, the murderer is a Beyonder of at least Sequence 7, and is most likely a cultist of the Blood Worship Cult or the Rose Cult. According to other people's speculation, he is likely to commit crimes again, so you should try to avoid going out at night in the future."

"Where was the crime?"

Fors felt a chill and wrapped herself tightly in fear, but Xio asked calmly.

"Hillston."

Fors's body suddenly stiffened, as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
