Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

Chapter 68 Of course I believe you!

The comforting breakfast brought Yu Jin a long-lost sense of peace.

Life seemed to have suddenly fallen into a peaceful routine, but this was just an illusion.

Because it is always moving forward.

Hugh, who had been unknowingly playing the role of 'Arbitrator' all along, had already digested the 'Arbitrator' potion and then obtained the Sheriff's potion recipe from the Ember.

To this end, she investigated the Ember while also diligently searching for materials at a secret gathering in Backlund.

And Audrey was the same.

Her "Audience" potion has been fully digested, and she has also obtained all the other spiritual materials.

However, since the Rainbow Lizard Dragon is almost extinct, even though she has used her financial power to ask the "Hanged Man" to find it for her, there are still no clues so far.

In comparison.

Fors was much luckier than them.

Although the Church of the Night possesses low-sequence potion recipes for almost all pathways, it primarily focuses on cultivating extraordinary individuals through the paths of the Sleepless, Corpse Collector, and Diviner, and has stockpiled a large amount of extraordinary materials for these three pathways.

The Church of the Night would not deliberately stockpile extraordinary materials obtained through other means.

Therefore, Ember was unable to help Audrey and Hugh with their needs.

However, since Ember chose the 'Apprentice' path, the Church of the Night also began collecting extraordinary materials for the 'Apprentice' path.

Moreover, the materials collected were not just the amount needed by the embers, but also the extraordinary individuals that the Church of the Night was consciously beginning to cultivate in large numbers through the 'Apprentice' pathway.

In the past month, more than one-third of the extraordinary individuals trained by the Church of the Night have been in the apprenticeship program.

It was precisely because of the Church of the Night's backing that Ember was able to easily gather a potion for Fors called "Master of Tricks".

All Fors has to do is pay.

The value of a potion itself is often more than 1.5 times that of its recipe, because the main ingredients required for it are often expensive.

For example, a Sequence 8 potion recipe costs only 450 pounds, but any one of the main ingredients costs over 300 pounds.

As a shrewd middleman, Ember offered 800 pounds for the complete potion.

While Fors was heartbroken about the expense, he wasn't unable to afford it.

The only problem is—

Her "apprentice" potion was not yet fully digested.

"It's not my fault!"

Lying on the sofa, Fors said matter-of-factly, "Digesting potions is a matter of fate; it's not like eating, where you can digest them immediately."

"You have been an 'apprentice' for more than two years."

Hugh rolled his eyes and mercilessly exposed Fors's secrets: "You only learned about the role-playing method last month. If you had just played the role of an 'apprentice' for a little while this past month, you wouldn't still be struggling to fully digest it now."

"Isn't it because I can't find an opportunity to be an apprentice?"

Fors blushed and weakly offered a defense.

Are you sure?

Hugh countered, "You were a doctor before becoming an 'apprentice,' although you haven't practiced medicine for over two years. But you're more than qualified to be an apprentice. You could easily find a hospital or clinic to work as an apprentice, couldn't you?"

"Um."

Hugh paused for a moment, then continued, "I remember Mr. Allen on the same street is an excellent surgeon. Didn't you work at his clinic before? If you go to him, he shouldn't refuse."

"stop!"

Fors's face was filled with sorrow. "Are we still friends?"

"How about this?"

Ignoring Fors's gaze, Hugh slammed his fist down and said without hesitation, "We'll go to Dr. Allen's house today and ask him to give you an intern position."

Hugh knew very well that although she had successfully obtained the potion recipe, she still had to search for the extraordinary materials needed to make the potion herself.

Fors not only has potion recipes, but he can also obtain ready-made potions directly, making it as easy as lying down to advance in rank.

That is why Hugh couldn’t bear to watch Fors lie on a mountain of treasure waiting to die.

We must get her to take action!

"Huh?!"

Fors' eyes widened, staring at Hugh in disbelief. "Hugh, you can't do this to me!"

"Ember, what do you think?"

Hugh ignored Fors and instead turned his gaze to Ember.

"I think it's okay."

Yu Jin pondered for two seconds, then nodded slightly.

"..."

Fors looked ashen-faced, feeling as if the whole world was against her.

"Let's not delay, let's go now."

Hugh jumped off the sofa, staring intently at Fors as he spoke.

"Maybe we shouldn't?"

Fors weakly wanted to refuse, but upon meeting Hugh's unfriendly gaze, she immediately changed her mind and said, "What I mean is, Hugh, don't you still have things to do? After all, it's a big matter concerning your father's reputation, and you can't let my actions delay your investigation."

"I'll go to the clinic myself, so don't worry about me. You should focus on your own business first."

Hearing this, Hugh hesitated for a moment. She did indeed have an appointment to meet someone this morning.

But Hugh never dared to overestimate Fors's ability to act.

If left alone, she would rather stay at home than go out and become an "apprentice".

Because that's always been her personality.

If no one is watching her, don't expect her to be self-aware.

So Hugh preferred to put the investigation on hold and take Fors to see Dr. Allen first.

but……

Xiu's eyes flickered slightly.

She might actually have had better options.

"ember."

Hugh turned to Ember, who was silently eating a sandwich beside him. "Could you go with Fors to see Dr. Allen in my place?"

"stop!"

Fors' eyes widened suddenly, her face contorted with anguish. "What do you mean? Don't you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you."

Hugh replied without hesitation, "But it's precisely because I trust you that I'm asking Ember to keep an eye on you for me."

Hugh was quite certain that if no one helped watch over Fors, she could lie at home forever.

Prior to this, Fors hadn't completely given up.

She would travel far and wide to obtain the potion recipe from the "Master of Tricks" and attend those secret gatherings of extraordinary individuals.

He would also attend literary salons in order to find someone to save him.

But now, Fors can obtain potion recipes and potions from the embers, and Hugh has not returned to the palace.

Fors suddenly lost his motivation to move forward and could only lie down.

If no one gives her a push at a time like this, she'll definitely lie on the sofa all day long.

And if she can't be there in person, then someone else needs to give her some motivation—

Or rather, give her a push from behind.
