Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 384 Atonement and the Abundant Mushroom King

Dorian glanced at Louis, who was lying beside him and didn't even dare to run away, and a slightly eerie smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He spoke faster and in less than half an hour handed the "Master of Tricks" potion to Fowles and helped her digest and stabilize her spirit.

Then he couldn't wait to reimburse her for £10,000 in expenses.

He also gave Fowles two properties in Backlund, one in Hillston and the other in Joewood, both in good locations, for a total price of around £6500.

This was a "return gift" to Fowles. After all, Fowles had given him such a "generous gift," and a large part of Abraham would be genuinely grateful to Fowles.

He believed that even if he didn't give it to them now, other Abrahams would find a way to send money to Fowles.

Although the Abraham family has declined, as a family of angels with a long history, it still has a considerable amount of assets, including land, forests, houses, estates and mines. However, Dorian only controls a portion of these assets, with the majority belonging to various smaller families.

Fowles reluctantly accepted the property certificate, and sensing that the teacher seemed a little anxious, he wisely offered to leave early.

Watching Fowles leave and close the door, Dorian sat back down in his chair, took out a piece of paper, and began to write a letter.

He then summoned his messenger and sent the letter out.

After he finished doing all this, he looked at Louis's head beside him.

“Do you remember Stock?” Dorian asked in a very gentle tone. “When you defected, you blew up a house and killed Stock’s wife. They were newlyweds…”

“Quack! Quack quack…” Louis let out a strange cry.

“Are you apologizing? Or begging for forgiveness? Hmm, I'm sorry, I don't understand. Hmm, he might be here this afternoon. That's good, he lives in Backlund too.” Dorian said to himself.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

“Killing you outright would be too merciful,” Dorian said. “You need to atone for every Abraham you have wronged, and we’ll start with Stock today.”

He went to the hotel's escape kit, took out a window breaker, and walked back to Louis.

"I have to say, you are quite good-looking to be able to join the Aurora Club. Although I don't understand why people in the Aurora Club value appearance so much."

“I can probably guess how he’ll punish you,” Dorian said, grabbing Louis’s jaw and forcibly opening his mouth. “Before that, I might need to break all your teeth so you don’t bite him. Don’t you think?”

"You know, he's been holding it in for ten years because of you. I believe you can understand him. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't understand him, because your opinion doesn't matter."

As he spoke, he took out some materials and set up a simple ritual that could isolate the sound to some extent. Then he raised the hammer and knocked it down on his teeth.

"Ah!" As his teeth were knocked out one by one, Louis's large intestine and brain were writhing in pain, but the next second they were smoothed out by some magical force.

"What an amazing ability," Dorian remarked with a smile.

"Don't yell so loudly. Don't worry, I'll get you some latex teeth later. I heard they feel better that way..."

…………

Yesterday, when Cattleya returned to the "Future", she didn't go to find Frank immediately, because he wasn't on the ship yesterday. Instead, he went ashore to look for the mushrooms he had lost and didn't return until this morning.

"Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya stood behind the window of the captain's cabin, looking at the island city not far away, and hesitated for a moment.

Finally, she took a long breath, then slowly exhaled, and left the captain's cabin towards Frank Lee's room while adjusting her glasses.

As Frank grew stronger, the mushrooms officially evolved from "cockroaches" running rampant on the ship into adults and began to reproduce rapidly.

The mushrooms they produce are just ordinary mushrooms, lacking any independent thought, and they end up cooking and eating them themselves.

Of course, if they didn't eat it, few people on the ship would dare to, so it would end up being thrown away or sold to others. In a sense, this could be considered a return to one's roots.

Recently, the first mate was voted on by all the crew members and "driven" to the bottom of the ship's hold, along with his mushroom offspring, to prevent his experimental products from suddenly spreading.

However, Frank Lee himself was quite satisfied with it, as the new residence was significantly more spacious.

Cattleya entered the lower deck of the ship, where the environment had completely changed from before.

The wooden floor had somehow turned into a grassy area, and the chirping of insects and birds echoed through the ship's cabin.

A bird with a fish tail flew over Cattleya's head and landed on a pillar not far away. Supports protruded from the side of the pillar, apparently installed by Frank.

After bypassing a strangely appearing jungle, we arrived at Frank's door.

She was quite careful along the way to avoid stepping on mushrooms or strange little animals in the "jungle".

Fortunately, they were all quite friendly, and there were no sudden carnivorous plants that swallowed her whole or strange vines that tied her to the wall for other animals to watch the defeat CG.

After a while, she finally arrived at Frank's door and slowly knocked.

A sound immediately came from the room, as if Frank was dragging something heavy.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and Cattleya, with her eyes lowered and not looking inside, went straight to the point:

"I have access to Druid's extraordinary traits. Do you need them?"

“Oh? Sure.” Frank wasn’t as excited as Cattleya had imagined. “However, I don’t really need this.”

"I don't actually need a promotion to accomplish these things, to do what only druids can do," Frank replied. "For example, I've recently been researching what would grow if I planted myself in the ground..."

Please stop thinking about it. I don't want to see Frank start to multiply rapidly and in large numbers.

Of course, Cattleya didn't say it aloud. Instead, she noticed the key point.

You can use Druid abilities without needing to be promoted...

Fate?
Cattleya immediately thought of the word she had learned at the tarot meeting and quietly observed her surroundings.

The grass underfoot, the ivy on the wall.

There are also various flowers, plants, and small animals.

Abundance?

Caldelia was sweating a little.

Oh no! The Abundant Mushroom King has been born! Is World Mushroom Day really about to arrive?

She didn't know how strong a true Fatewalker really was, because she herself had only built up her strength through potions.

However, she had heard this saying at a tarot meeting.

Like a madman, the more mad he is, the stronger he becomes.

At least, she didn't think Frank was anything special.

Perhaps this is what Mr. Devil meant by "madness".
