Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 134: Prayer from Fors
"Great! This way I don't have to turn into a monster." Fors felt herself relax a lot, yet she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep. After pacing around the room several times, she finally couldn't help but run to the door of Xiou's room. She wanted to knock on the door and share the good news with her best friend. Her hand was on the door, but she hesitated, wondering if she should wake Xiou up.

How about we wait until tomorrow to tell Hugh?
Just as Fors was thinking, the door in front of her suddenly opened, and Xio, who was a head shorter than her, appeared before her, his expression sleepy, confused, and a little worried.

Quinn yawned, looked at her best friend who was still awake in the middle of the night, and asked, "What happened?"

"So you haven't slept either!" Fors said almost subconsciously, with a hint of surprise in her tone.

stop:……

Xio tightened her grip on the doorframe slightly. She gritted her teeth and looked at Fors unhappily. "Is it possible that I fell asleep, but you made too much noise?"

She was clearly sleeping soundly, but she suddenly heard noises coming from Fors's room, and then found Fors running to her door. She got up because she was worried that something had happened, right?
Fors suddenly felt a little embarrassed, remembering how she had just jumped up and down in the room out of excitement. Guilty, her eyes wandered around, and she coughed and said, "Sorry, how about you go back to sleep?"

"Let's talk about what happened first. I can't sleep for a while." Xio wasn't really angry. He just glanced out the window, and when his eyes fell on Fors again, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Xio knew about the full moon whispers, so he was worried that something might have happened again.

"Xiu, let me tell you, the full moon curse has disappeared. I can't hear those whispers anymore." Fors excitedly shared the good news with Xiu.

Xio was stunned for a moment, but after hearing the good news, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Fors nodded repeatedly, feeling relieved. "So now I don't have to worry about turning into a monster."

"Turned into a monster?" Xio instinctively felt happy for her best friend. Then, her fox eyes narrowed, she looked at Fors and asked, "Didn't you tell me before that it wasn't that serious anymore? How could you turn into a monster..."

Fors suddenly felt guilty.

No, it's exposed.

"Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist, tell the truth." Xiu said without any politeness, emitting the majesty of an arbitrator. Although he was only 1 meters tall, at this moment he had the aura of 5 meters.

……

Although the slip of the tongue led to a "trial", Fors was still very happy to be free from the full moon's mumbling.

Because of this relaxed mood, she even got up early the next day to go to the market and bought a beautiful-looking crystal ball from a stall.

Although the stall owner claimed it was an heirloom, Fors clearly didn't take the sales pitch seriously. She bought the crystal ball simply because she'd learned from Jack that the apprentice's Sequence Seven was an astrologer. Even though she was only Sequence Eight, and she didn't know when she'd be promoted, she had to consider that for the future.

The crystal ball, like a fortuneteller's pendulum, is a tool that an astrologer may use.

Of course, the main reason is that the boss sells it at a relatively low price.

"You actually got up so early today. The sun rose from the west?"

Back at the apartment, Xio, who had finished his morning exercise, was eating breakfast. Seeing Forsi returning from the market, he was quite surprised. After all, someone always slept in, and waking up early was a rarity.

"Isn't it okay for me to get up early today? I don't sleep in every day." Fors muttered, but her mood remained good. She sat on the sofa and began to arrange her newly bought crystal ball.

"But why did the full moon whispers suddenly disappear? Could it be that the gods are truly blessing me..." Fors couldn't help but ponder as she twirled the crystal ball. After a moment's thought, she clasped her hands together and said sincerely, "God, please help me purchase the Astrologer's Potion formula soon."

After saying this, Fors laughed and couldn't help muttering, "What am I thinking? How can I pray to God for such a thing..."

At the same time, in a villa in Backlund—

Klein, who was eating breakfast, was stunned for a moment because he seemed to hear an unfamiliar prayer sound in his ears. This made Klein look at Rowling almost instinctively.

"Why are you looking at me? Is breakfast not to your liking?" Feeling Klein's gaze, Rowling casually stirred the porridge in his bowl with a spoon and said with a smile, "Actually, I'm a little tired of it too. Xiaohong, how about you try something new tomorrow? Do you know how to fry dough sticks?"

Medici, who was also at the table, glanced at Luo Lin and said unhappily, "People who only know how to eat have no right to speak."

He then frowned and asked, "What are youtiao?"

Luo Lin immediately began to explain enthusiastically, not only what youtiao was, but also a series of Chinese breakfasts including ziba, xiaolongbao, fried dumplings, and tofu pudding. Finally, he clasped his hands together sincerely and said, "Please, Mother Medici, I really need a Chinese breakfast."

Luo Lin is really tired of eating Western breakfast every day.

"Can you have a little dignity?" Medici said unhappily with his mouth twitching.

"Dignity is nothing in the face of delicious food," Luo Lin said seriously. After a moment's thought, he added, "Of course, if you don't know how to make it, I can teach you. It's very simple."

"Jack, can you do this?" Klein was too distracted from the mysterious prayer for a moment to care about it. He looked at Rowling in surprise.

"I can!" Luo Lin nodded. Of course he could do these things. Before he traveled through time, he had countless aliases, including a chef. That was why Luo Lin's cooking skills were actually very good, especially Chinese food.

However, making Chinese food in this world is too troublesome, and Luo Lin is really busy, so he didn't bother with it.

But now that he has a ready-made chef, Rowling really doesn't mind teaching his skills to Medici to improve the quality of his daily life.

After thinking for a moment, Rowling looked at Medici and added, "I'm also good at Russian cuisine. Xiaohong, don't you want to learn some dishes from the Sun God's hometown? Maybe I'll have a chance to cook them for Saslier in the future!"

Medici raised his eyebrows, seeming to be interested.

During the Third Age, Medici once heard Sasriel talk about dishes from the old times, and he still remembered the nostalgia and regret in the other's eyes when he spoke of those things.

Would Saslier be happy if he could recreate the dishes from his hometown?
