Mystery: A Spark

Fors did not accept Mr. Fool's commission because she knew very well that she was neither capable of doing it herself nor had enough leverage to get someone else to do it for her.

So she was just an observer at the time, watching the other three members take on the commission.

"By the way, Fors, how do you plan to digest the Master of Tricks' potion?" Hugh asked at this moment.

"It's just an idea for now. Maybe I'll find a job in the circus later," Forl replied after thinking for a moment.

Both she and Hugh already knew about the existence of the role-playing method; Hugh learned about it from Arthur, who said it was as payment for helping out.

Fors learned about it from that kind-hearted Miss Justice at the end of the last Tarot session.

In exchange, Fors needs to pay the lady 200 pounds.

Although it was not a small amount, it was still relatively easy for Fors, who had recently received 750 pounds from Miss Audrey, to afford.

"And you, Hugh? What are you planning to do with your sheriff's potion?" Fors asked her friend.

“I will make the East District my jurisdiction and strive to establish order here to deal with the Sheriff’s Potion,” Hugh replied confidently.

"Then you must be careful and pay attention to your own safety. There are many vicious people among the gangs in the East District," Fors warned.

"Yes, I definitely will." Hugh nodded.

As they were talking, a pure white puppy, without a single blemish, suddenly appeared in front of them and landed on the sofa.

"Hello, Miss Hugh and Miss Fors." The puppy waved its little paws at them, looking incredibly cute.

"Uh... May I ask who you are?" Fors and Hugh exchanged a glance and asked with some surprise.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Arthur's friend, my name is Arthas. My master sent me to find you so we can go to the circus together to digest the potion," the puppy said in its childish voice.

"So, this was the other request Arthur mentioned." Fors felt this was completely unexpected.

At this moment, Hugh the Blind, who was standing nearby, discovered the key point.

"Arthas, uh, sir, may I ask what sequence you are currently in?"

“Sequence Eight,” Arthas answered without hesitation.

"How long has it been since you advanced to Sequence Eight?" Hugh asked again.

"Hmm, it's been about half a month," Arthas said, tilting his head as he thought for a moment.

“Doesn’t that mean…” Hugh looked at Fors beside him, his expression somewhat strange.

Doesn't that mean your previous sequence wasn't even as high as this little puppy's?

Hugh didn't say it aloud, but Fors already understood what she meant.

"I only lacked the recipes and materials in the previous years. If it weren't for that, I would have become a magic master long ago," Fors said anxiously, trying to defend himself.

“Yes, yes, chuckle…” Hugh nodded seriously, but in the end he couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

"Shut up! You're not allowed to laugh anymore!" Fors said angrily.

"Uh, I just remembered something happy." Hugh suddenly recalled a scene from his conversation with Arthur.

"What's the good news?" Fors pressed.

“I advanced to Sequence Eight before you,” Hugh said, barely suppressing a laugh.

"Pfft..." The little puppy next to him couldn't hold back any longer.

"What are you laughing at again?" Fors was already getting quite exasperated.

"Uh, I also advanced to Sequence Eight before you."

"Pfft, hahaha..." Hugh and the puppy burst into laughter, leaving Fors standing there looking completely bewildered.

……

7 Townsend Street, Queens.

At this moment, Arthur was sitting at his desk, toying with a red, stone-like object in his hand.

This is the extraordinary trait of the conspirator that he obtained after killing Ambassador Beckeron last night.

When Arthur assassinated Beckron last night, he did so partly to fulfill Klein's request, and partly to obtain the Schemer's Trait.

However, he did not intend to use this special ability for himself.

Arthur took out a piece of paper, filled his pen with ink, and wrote on it:

"My dear friend Danitz, how have you been?"

"I've heard that you haven't yet collected any extraordinary materials on the Conspirators, but fortunately, I recently stumbled upon one of the Conspirators' extraordinary traits."

“Danitz, my friend, I have always remembered your help and care for me when we were at sea. In return, I can sell you this Conspirator’s Extraordinary Trait. As for the reward, I do not need any money.”

“You know, I’ve always lacked a good, exceptional firearm as my ranged weapon, and I’ve heard that there’s a man named Oakfa Connors in a manor outside Bayam City.”

"In his possession is a revolver called Deathstroke, an exceptionally powerful firearm. And as for the price, it is said that this man offered 9000 gold pounds for his Deathstroke revolver."

“Danitz, I can offer you this Conspirator’s Extraordinary trait, 4000 gold pounds, and a little tip on where to find the Conspirator’s recipe in exchange for you helping me purchase this Deathstroke Revolver.”

"By the way, I should remind you that you'd better not think about using force to take Deathstroke from this guy named Oakfa, because he is a Sequence 5 druid."

After finishing writing the letter, Arthur carefully folded it and then performed a ritual to summon Edwina's owl messenger.

He did not send Arthas to deliver the letter, because Arthas had neither met Edwina nor Danitz.

A messenger can only remember a person's information and thus be able to find them after meeting them.

The spirit of the owl appeared quickly and took the letter away.

Since Arthur had nothing to do, he started drawing comics again.

Arthur did not use the Schemer Extraordinary Ability because if he were to shatter it now and use it for advancement, he would have to shatter another Reaper Ability when he advanced to Sequence 5.

This would result in a certain degree of waste of the fel energy within Gul'dan's Skull.

Moreover, it's a complete waste, which is not worthwhile at all.

Therefore, Arthur, who was always frugal and hardworking, gave the Schemer trait to Danitz in exchange for the Death Knell formed by the Reaper trait.

In this way, Arthur would not only obtain a powerful and extraordinary firearm.

When the time comes for promotion, you can directly obtain the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence Six and Sequence Five in one step.

In fact, for Arthur, who possesses the Skull of Gul'dan, using extraordinary traits for advancement is more cost-effective and convenient than using extraordinary materials.

Of course, this is on the premise that he can obtain the characteristics of higher sequences.

Regarding potion recipes, Arthur knew that Edwina possessed the schemer's potion recipes, a fact confirmed by Anderson himself in the original work.

But in fact, Arthur had another idea about how to obtain the potion recipe.

However, it's uncertain whether this idea will succeed.

But no matter what, even if he fails, Arthur can still get the potion recipe he needs to advance to the level of a schemer from Edwina.

Therefore, with a safety net in place, Arthur had the confidence to take bold risks.

As he began to make his plans, vines descended from mid-air, leading him into a fairytale-like enchanted realm.

At the same time, a soft voice, tinged with a hint of joy, rang out:

“I have killed Lanius and successfully ascended to become an angel. Thank you, Arthur.”

“Congratulations on your promotion, madam,” Arthur said sincerely.

He was also very happy, because the favor Bernadette owed him back at sea had successfully been upgraded from a "favor from a saint" to an "angel's favor".

This move was incredibly profitable.

"To successfully wait for the opportunity to be promoted to a sage is both simple and difficult; it all depends on the arrangement of fate."

"If you're lucky, you might get it in the next second; if you're unlucky, you might never get it in your entire life."

“My initial feeling was right; you were able to bring about changes in my destiny,” Bernadette said with a touch of emotion.

"By the way, Arthur, what is your other request?"

“Madam, I would like to ask you to protect me to a place,” Arthur replied without hesitation.

Chapter 129 Deduction Master Klein

Inside a house in the Hillston district.

At this point, Arthas had already made an agreement with Fors that they would go to the circus together and play magic tricks masters.

After setting a time for their next meeting, Arthas disappeared into the spirit world and left.

As Hugh watched the puppy disappear before her eyes, she couldn't help but ask:

"Fors, do you know this move? The ability to disappear silently on the spot."

"If I use the bracelet, I can do it, but I can't do this normally. It's strange. This little dog and I are both magicians, so why does it have abilities that I don't?" Fors said, fiddling with the bracelet that still had two stones on its wrist, looking puzzled.

"Well, that just goes to show that there are differences even among magic masters." Hugh sighed and patted Fors on the shoulder with a comforting expression.

"Huh! Did you come here on purpose to get back at me today?" Fors said angrily to her friend.

"No, I was just telling the truth."

Hugh looked at Fors and said in a serious tone:

"Fors, don't immediately refute others' opinions, especially sharp ones. Doing so is actually a sign of weakness, a sign of neurasthenia."

"We must encourage others to speak up and dare to discuss. If they point out our mistakes, we must correct them. If they are not wrong, we must be more diligent and cautious to avoid making such mistakes."

Fors stared at Hugh in disbelief, completely unable to believe that her friend, whose hands moved faster than his brain, could say such a thing.

"Hugh, you, be normal, the way you are is making me a little scared." Fors looked at Hugh, who seemed to be glowing, and couldn't help but shrink back.

"Ahem, actually, these were all Arthur's words. I was just repeating them in his words." Seeing that his friend was a little frightened, Hugh immediately returned to his usual self.

"Oh, I see." Fors said with a sigh of relief:

"It feels like you guys are doing something extraordinary."

Xiu chuckled twice but didn't respond to the conversation.

"It's not just remarkable, it's earth-shattering..." Xiu thought to himself.

Seeing that Hugh had fallen silent, Fors did not press the matter further.
