Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 55 A dark and windy night

117 Burningham Road, Hillstown.

"So it's okay?"

After listening to Yu Jin's statement of the case, Fors instantly breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the sofa, complaining, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have to live in fear every day for the past half month."

"Could the Nighthawks actually have such a past?"

Xio fell into silence for no apparent reason, and she thought about herself.

Although her father did not abandon his wife and children, he was hanged for "rebellion" and was stripped of his title and fiefdom.

If they hadn't left in time, if they hadn't had some savings when they left.

Would her mother also be forced to sell her body in order to support her and her siblings?
And Fors.

If her father had not left her his property when he abandoned her, would she have taken the same path?

"Xiu! What's that look in your eyes?"

Noticing her friend's look, Fors said with some embarrassment, "Before I became a Beyonder, I was at least a doctor. Even if my life was so bad, I wouldn't starve to death, right?"

"Now that it's safe."

Yu Jin suddenly asked, "Can you return Kulala to me?"

"Hmm~"

Fors held the Soul Jellyfish tightly in her arms like a pillow and looked at the ember pitifully.

"So, you want to continue employing Kulala?"

Yu Jin was not surprised by this, so he did not force to take Kulala back. He said calmly, "In that case, then you can still pay the commission at ten pounds per week. I don't mind."

"Give it if you want!"

Fors nodded without hesitation.

Yu Jin said that Kurala and Kularis’ strength is at least equivalent to Sequence 9.

At the price of 10 pounds, hiring two sequence 9 guards is a good deal.

Although 10 pounds a week is a considerable burden, fortunately she is not so short of money now.

"Na."

Fors held Kulala in one hand and took out four hundred pounds with the other hand and handed it to Yu Jin. "This is your royalties. The sales in the past two weeks totaled one hundred thousand copies. The publisher has increased your share of royalties to 10%, so after tax, the total is four hundred pounds."

As he spoke, Fors showed a look of envy.

Just like each daily newspaper cost only one penny, Backlund's books and periodicals usually cost one soli per copy.

Before the deadline.

The total sales of "Storm Heights" is 160,000 copies, which is already the standard for a bestseller.

But Yu Jin's "Snowstorm Manor" is even more exaggerated than "Stormstorm Manor"!
Sales exceeded 100,000 copies within half a month of release, with sales exceeding 5,000 pounds!
You have to know that the sales of her "Storm Manor" of 160,000 were accumulated over more than half a year!

On average, there are only 20,000 copies per month, and only 10,000 copies in half a month.

And Yu Jin’s sales in just half a month are already ten times as much as hers!
No.

Maybe more.

Because the sales of "Snowstorm Manor" were not optimistic in the first week of its release.

Because those readers bought this book because of "Apprentice Fors", the sales volume was only a dismal two thousand copies.

It wasn't until the second week that sales of the book suddenly skyrocketed.

As long as this trend continues, this book has a good chance of breaking the record for the highest monthly sales of bestsellers.

"Thank you."

Yu Jin took the money and then handed Fors two hundred pounds.

Fors did not refuse and accepted it directly.

This is what they agreed on before -

Embers published the book under her apprentice's name, and she received half of the royalties from the book.

"How's your potion digestion going?"

After Fors took the money, he asked curiously.

Yu Jin wrote this book to test whether he could use it to digest the potion, and making money was just a byproduct.

For Fors, the two hundred pounds was just a pleasant surprise.

"not bad."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin nodded slightly.

"What do you mean, not bad?"

Fors was somewhat dissatisfied. She hated the Riddler's behavior.

"meaning is,"

Ember looked at Fors and said calmly, "I have completely digested the potion."

"..."

Fors opened her mouth wide, and Xio was also surprised. She asked incredulously, "This actually works?"

"Exactly what I thought."

Yu Jin nodded slightly and said affirmatively, "The core of acting is to make the observer believe that you are the role you are playing. As for the specific method of acting, it is not important."

“When did you digest it?”

Fors couldn't help but ask.

"Just a week ago." After hearing Yu Jin's light words, Fors and Xio looked at each other and saw the numbness in each other's eyes.

If that's the case, doesn't that mean it took Ember less than a month from becoming a Beyonder to digesting the potion?

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Did you ask?"

In response to Fors's somewhat complaining words, Yu Jin asked back.

"I just feel that it's a little... um... to use the words of Emperor Roselle, a little magical."

Fors hugged Kurala tightly, feeling somewhat hurt, and muttered softly.

Can this method actually succeed?

This is not mysticism at all!
Shouldn't acting be something you practice step by step yourself?
Why is it that Yu Jin's completely cheating method can actually succeed, and the progress is much faster than others!

Is this really the river?

"I'm not Sister Li!"

Xio held his head in his hands, obviously finding it hard to accept.

"So, you have become a master of magic?"

Fors raised her head and looked at the ember with complicated eyes.

"Ah."

Yu Jin nodded slightly.

After he confirmed that he had digested the potion, the Church of Night had already prepared the corresponding potion formula for him.

And this happened six days ago.

It was exactly one month since he became an Extraordinary Person.

And now, he is already a Sequence 8 'Master of Magic'.

Fors showed an envious expression and muttered in a low voice, "I don't know how long it will take for my potion to digest. Should I try to find a writer to take me in as an apprentice? But writing a book is so tiring..."

"correct."

Yu Jin seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly said, "Give Kulala and Kularis back to me first, I need their help."

"it is good."

Xio nodded and patted his spare airport.

Then, a soul jellyfish that looked similar to Kurara but was only the size of a ping-pong ball emerged from her collar and quickly "grew" to the same size as Kurara.

Although Fors was reluctant, she knew what was important and reluctantly let Kulala go.

Soon, two translucent soul jellyfish floated on the left and right of the embers, as obedient as two loli maids.

As time went on, Ember recalled some memories.

For example, he had a lot of ashes on him that came from nowhere.

The ashes of Kulala and Kularis are among them.

After summoning the souls of the two sisters, Yu Jin didn't want them to stay in the ashes forever.

So he just "rented" it to Fors.

Not only can I ask the other party to help take care of Kulala and the others, but I can also make money.

why not?

but.

Yu Jin now temporarily needed Kurara's assistance, so he asked Fors and the others to return it.

"Do you need help?"

Quinn inquired.

"Need not."

Ember glanced at her and shook his head slightly.

What he was going to do tonight was not suitable for outsiders to know.

because.

He was going to kill someone.

"I can help you clean up after this."

Xio seemed to see through something and said seriously.

Yu Jin suddenly wanted to take the Kulala sisters away. He must be going to do something dangerous.
"I……"

Fors hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I can take you away."

The apprentice has little fighting power, but she has a stone bracelet, which is very powerful for running away.

"Need not."

Yu Jin looked at the two women deeply and shook his head slightly.

PS: Let me make this clear first.

The protagonist digested the potion not because he wrote novels to make others think he was an apprentice, but because of 'the power of my thinking'.

The digestion process is roughly as follows:
I think I am an apprentice, so I am an apprentice, whether I am not or not.

I thought it would take a month for an apprentice to digest the potion, so I only need one month, no more, no less.
