Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 266 Mr. Fool’s body is about to be unable to bear it (whisper)

Monday afternoon, in the Cherwood area, inside the house rented by Hugh and Fors.

Fors was so worried about the conversation she had with the old man named Lawrence that she couldn't even figure out the plot of the new book.

Just then, Xio pushed the door open and entered the study.

"It's almost three o'clock as agreed with that being. Are you ready?"

Quinn scratched his shaggy blond hair and plopped down on the chair next to him.

Fors also checked the time at this time. Indeed:

The time is almost three o'clock. If I hadn't already made an appointment with Mr. Lawrence to keep his items for a period of time in the future, and hadn't been promised the clues to the main materials of the "Master of Magic", I would be looking forward to this party now, right?

Thinking of this, Fors recalled what happened last week.

What was different from the previous development was that since Fors did not join the Tarot Club in advance this time, she did not hide too much about herself when facing the relatives of Mrs. Anlisa.

In addition, he became the protector of two "great beings" (after all, Star said that as long as Fors kept it secret, he might help depending on the situation).

Fors was not too worried that Lawrence, the aging Beyonder, would do something bad to him.

In addition to retaining some necessary information, Fors explained to Lawrence that Mrs. Anlisa inherited the estate and became a Beyonder, and also said that Mrs. Anlisa left some relics to her.

——Even if Fors didn’t say it, she didn’t think that she, who had a deep connection with Mrs. Anlisa, would be able to hide it from the old man who had the ability of divination.

Unexpectedly, the old man did not reject this too much, but just took a deep look at her bracelet:
"It seems that you are a good girl, so Anlisa left all these things to you."

"No, Mrs. Anlisa also brought me a warm time after I lost my mother."

Fors said sincerely, and at the same time, her eyes suddenly became moist.

Lawrence had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and he sighed and chatted with Fors casually.

He had a sudden idea to come to Backlund, not only because he was influenced by the letter, but also because he wanted to find his two brothers and their descendants before the end of his life.

Now, he received the news that they were all no longer alive - thinking about it this way, it was also a huge blow to his spirit.

However, things are unpredictable, just like Lawrence did not expect:

At this point in time, there are still other forces that know the glory of Abraham's family and have expressed a certain goodwill.

The letter pointed out the difficulties of the Abraham family in a sharp lawyer-like tone, while also explaining the purpose and invitation of the being in a gentle tone.

Lawrence admitted that he had been persuaded by the letter:
After all, for an old man who is determined to "restore the glory of Abraham", no matter what, being able to gain a little hope for the revival of his family before the last moments of his life is what he desires.

It's not that he has no choice but to do it, but knowing that the being can accurately know his location and talk to him about Abraham's glorious past, these performances have already shown that his strength is far beyond Lawrence's imagination - not to mention that divination does not work on him.

In this case, the invitation from that existence without any mandatory requirements is like a Sanhe youth encountering the temptation of a pyramid scheme master for Lawrence today, which makes him unable to refuse from the bottom of his heart.

But the necessary preparations still had to be made. The cautious Lawrence planned to hand over the important seals on his body to the trusted relatives of his two brothers for safekeeping, but he never expected that they had already left this world.

Lawrence took a sip of Filmore coffee and suddenly felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

If he hadn't been worried about rashly contacting other family members and implicating them, he wouldn't be completely helpless at this moment.

But when Lawrence saw Fors, who had also become a Beyonder and also had the bracelet that could teleport randomly, he thought that this was a lady whose character had been verified by Mrs. Anlisa, and he unconsciously had an idea in his mind.

……

Fors actually considered getting the subsequent formula from the Abraham family, who were also Beyonders, but due to her lazy personality and not wanting to expose her good intentions of knowing that the person she was dealing with was a wild Beyonder, she ultimately did not take the initiative to ask. However, she did not expect:
She did not mention this matter, and Mr. Lawrence took the initiative to tell her about the deal - she would help him keep certain items for a period of time, and he would get the main materials for promotion to "Master of Magic".

Of course, if Lawrence did not come back after the time was up, he would go to the Pritz Harbor Fishermen's Association to find Dorian Gray and give him the very old notebook and a letter.

Fors recalled the look on Mr. Lawrence's face when he took out the palm-sized notebook from the half-open inner pocket of his clothes, as if he was going to "die". He couldn't help feeling a little sad and imagined a lot of possible plots.

Out of respect for the old man, Fors did not speculate on love, but he also knew Mr. Lawrence's determination.

That is why her expression at this moment was more uneasy than that of Xio, who was looking forward to getting the truth.

It was not only out of concern for Mr. Lawrence, after all, he was an old man over 80 years old...but also out of hesitation about whether to accept this relic-like item.

However, Xio could clearly see that Fors was not in the right state, so he asked curiously:

"Fors, what's wrong with you? You look very worried."

"I've already told you, this time, I just want to know the truth..."

“At worst, if the other party is very powerful, I can also find other ways to get some help from other channels, such as Mr. Fool or the Tarot Club.”

The reason why they didn't mention the "oddity" was because that person was too mysterious. He looked like he didn't want to pay attention to them, so much so that Fors and Xio suspected that this was the honorific name that Mr. Doyle asked them to chant in order to pray for the attention of the oddity and keep the secret.

But this is the best thing. After all, if that "oddity" is still a presence in the mysterious world that has ill intentions towards people other than core believers, it would be good to be able to avoid Him.

And there was no way Fors wanted Xio to be involved in this matter besides being busy with her father's affairs, so as not to distract her good friend... at least a friend for the time being.

She did not discuss Mr. Lawrence's commission with Hugh, but caught an inspiration from her friend's words:
Yes, she might be able to get help from the Tarot Club, and even bring up this commission with Mr. Doyle who was in the Tarot Club.

——This was approved and encouraged by Mr. Fool.

No matter what, the opponent that Mr. Lawrence faced could not be stronger than Mr. Doyle who easily defeated the pirate general, right?

Fors soon stopped worrying and joked:

"Who's worried about you? If you really want to know the answer, you'd better get ready quickly."

They chatted and laughed, and came to the bedroom where they sometimes slept together.

So Xio and Fors sat facing each other in anticipation.

After about ten seconds, they saw a crimson light surging out like a tide and submerging themselves.

……

Immediately, deep red rays of light leaped up in the magnificent palace and froze into blurry human figures.

The people at the party looked around and keenly noticed that there were three more people at the party.

Then, except for Star and Klein who had already understood the matter, they were all stunned.

At the same time, Mr. Fool suddenly found that his spirituality seemed to be a little... overwhelmed, as he suddenly had the burden of three more Beyonders.

Oops, I feel a little weak!
Klein complained in his heart.
