I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

Before he could finish speaking, old Morgan's face turned ugly.

"Sacrificing Grimport, they really thought of that...sacrificing the entire city...the price they paid was enough to crush the entire Deepsea Church into dust."

"However, they will definitely take some action!"

Old Morgan's tone carried a hint of weariness.

The atmosphere in the room became somewhat heavy.

Finally, old Morgan let out a long sigh.

"This is more serious than I thought."

He turned to look out the window, his voice sounding tired.

"When the Iron Whale set sail, it took more than just Gawain and his team with it."

"And two priests from the church, and three alchemists from the Ascended Order."

"They are all elites. If they are all wiped out, it will be a huge loss to Grimport."

Lu Yuan asked in confusion, "So..."

Morgan turned around, his gaze resolute.

"I'm going to talk to the Ascension Society and the church."

"The Night's Watch alone cannot accomplish this."

"We need to work together to search for the Iron Whale at sea and rescue the survivors."

The ink, floating in mid-air, asked, "Do you think they'll agree?"

Old Morgan sneered.

"They had no choice but to agree."

"The Church lost two priests, and the Ascendant lost three alchemists."

"They know this better than anyone else."

He looked at Lu Yuan, his tone becoming stern.

"Go back first and get some rest."

"Remember what I said—drink holy water daily and stay away from triggers."

"Grimport will be in chaos these next few days. You'd better stay at the clinic and don't wander around."

Lu Yuan didn't say anything more, he just nodded: "I understand."

Then, carrying the ink, he turned and walked towards the door.

Just as I reached the door, old Morgan's voice came from behind me.

"Lu Yuan".

Lu Yuan stopped and turned around.

Old Morgan stood by the window, backlit, so his expression was hard to see.

But his voice was unusually gentle.

"You did a great job; you were brave enough to be honest."

"But next time, if there's a problem, say so earlier."

He paused, then added:

"The Night's Watch will not abandon their own people."

Lu Yuan paused for a moment, then nodded.

"I've got it."

He pushed open the door and went out.

As he walked away from the base, ink splattered from his notebook and landed on Lu Yuan's shoulder.

"That old man still cares about you quite a bit."

Her tone was somewhat teasing.

"He was banging on the table and yelling, but in the end he still softened."

Lu Yuan smiled but didn't say anything.

The morning sunlight pierced through the thin mist and shone on the stone path, bringing a touch of warmth.

But Lu Yuan knew in his heart that this was just the calm before the storm.

The afternoon sun streamed into the clinic through the windows, where Lu Yuan sat at his desk, perusing the holy water formula he had retrieved from old Morgan.

The formula was far more complex than he had imagined, involving more than seven extraordinary potions in terms of raw materials, three of which he had never heard of before.

Brent helped organize the medicine cabinet, working diligently yet carefully, as if afraid of making a mess.

Mina, meanwhile, was quietly nestled in a chair in the corner, clutching the black notebook.

Mo Shui was explaining some basic pharmacology knowledge to her, and the little girl listened attentively, nodding from time to time.

"Knock knock knock".

A knock came at the door.

Brent put down the medicine bottle in his hand and quickly went to open the door.

"Mr. Lawson?"

His voice was clearly filled with surprise.

Lu Yuan raised his head.

As Lawson walked into the clinic, Lu Yuan noticed the change in him immediately.

Lawson's performance this time was unexpectedly good.

Although there were still faint traces of scales on his neck, his expression was calm, even with a hint of relief.

The anxiety and fear that had once permeated him had completely vanished at this moment.

"Dr. Lu, I'm sorry to bother you." Lawson was unexpectedly polite this time.

Lu Yuan put down the formula in his hand: "Lawson, please sit down."

He then gestured to Brent to take Mina to the next room, and Brent immediately understood, quietly telling Mina to leave.

The ink floated back into the notebook, but Lu Yuan knew she was eavesdropping.

After the two left, Lu Yuan looked at Lawson and said, "You look... a little different today."

Lawson sat down in the chair, one hand resting on the silver-plated cane, his posture composed.

"Yes, because I've figured it out."

He raised his head and looked directly into Lu Yuan's eyes: "Dr. Lu, I'm not here today seeking medical treatment, but to say goodbye."

Lu Yuan's heart sank: "Saying goodbye?"

Lawson nodded. "Remember what I told you last time? I saw that deep-sea city in my dream."

"During this time, the city became clearer and clearer, and my identity there became more and more secure."

He paused, a subtle, enigmatic smile playing on his lips: "And there I was chosen as a priest, responsible for serving..."

Lawson stopped just before he was about to utter the name, as if realizing something, and didn't continue.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "That's pollution, that's alienation!"

"I know," Lawson didn't refute. "By normal standards, I am indeed alienated."

"But Dr. Lu, do you know? In that city, I felt a sense of belonging that I had never felt before."

His tone was eerily calm.

"I am no longer that landlord in Grimham, no longer that pathetic wretch who lived off rent and was looked down upon by others."

"I have gained power, status, and...meaning."

Lu Yuan frowned even more upon hearing this. Clearly, Lawson was no longer just a landlord collecting rent, but had officially stepped into an unknown territory.

"You've reached the extraordinary realm?"

Lu Yuan asked tentatively.

Lawson did not answer, but simply extended his right hand.

A pale blue light appeared in his palm.

The water in the glass on the table began to boil, bubbling and gurgling.

The water then detached from the cup, suspended in the air, and slowly condensed into the shape of a small snake.

The little snake writhed its body, as if it truly possessed life, and swam in the air for a moment.

Then, it turned into countless water droplets and fell back into the cup with a "plop".

Lu Yuan's expression turned serious.

This is indeed an extraordinary ability, and it is controlled quite skillfully, even surpassing Valentine's mutated extraordinary ability by more than one level.

This is simply unbelievable, considering that Lawson has only been in the Dream for a few days since his last visit!

As Lu Yuan focused his attention, the familiar gray and white characters finally appeared:

[Abnormal surrounding environment...water elements are accumulating...at an abnormal speed...]

[Analysis: The target has reached the extraordinary level, but the path is unknown.]

Lawson withdrew his hand, his expression calm: "You see? I've already embarked on the path to transcendence."

Lu Yuan then asked, "Can you still control your consciousness?"

Lawson's expression was somewhat complicated: "It's okay for now, but I know it won't last long."

"The deep sea is calling me, that city is beckoning me."

"I can feel that my time is running out."

He raised his head, a hint of bitterness in his eyes: "At most... in three to five days, I will have to answer that call."

"Otherwise, I will lose control and become a complete monster."
